>if you are standing in an area and bullets are being fired all around you it may not be possible to move to a position where there is not an incoming bullet in time. A really good program would then be able to recreate Gun Fu from Equilibrium, or Neo and Agent Smith.

Haha, very clever. Although I seem to be running into problems whenever I put the mouse into one of the 4 corners of the screen. It can find anything more centrally located, though (apparently?)

Hi, I actually tried e-mailing you, as I'm having this same situation. However I received a reply from gmail that "Hotmail can not find this address". I would actually like to talk with you, and find any ideas for help, if you're willing.

Thank you so much for bringing this site to my attention. It seems to have become a nice replacement for smart.fm which I used a few years ago.

Aww, I was hoping this would be more visible in the San Jose area. crosses fingers for a good partial eclipse

Any idea where to get those foil viewers? We used to have those in grade school, but I have no clue where to buy them as an adult.

The author makes an interesting point; however, he seems to make the same assumptions that he is actively protesting. If smart people do X, then would not doing X mean people are not smart?

This generalization that can be inferred from the article--as well as demonstrated in this comment section--seems to fall into this same trap.

As a reader of "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", I think there is a better way to go about this. Rather than "smart people do X [therefore if you do not do X, you are not smart]"; it should be: people do X, which is smarter than doing Y.

People can change. If they have a consistent ability to do stupid things, it just means they are acting in poor judgement and possibly could use help. If they fail to accept help, or are too headstrong/temperamental/can-never-be-wrong then it just means that their behavior and mindset should change [in order to be more productive].

Although, I would sometimes choose a less-intelligent person that is of no fault of their own, than a willingly ignorant person who should know better, but does not act it.

This is a very interesting video. I'm wondering about several things mentioned, though.

The CJDNS author mentioned that if a user does something people don't like, his friend can tell him, "knock it off", or eventually he can just be cut off from the group. What is to prevent a mob mentality, or even a group/corporation from being able to silence a minority opinion in this sort of setup? It seems like this could be an issue, if people could be easily cut off.

Also, will there be an ability for users to establish more than one connection at a time? That is, can people be connected to more than just one particular "parent" node at at a time? This would certainly be great in order to have better stability, and even to overcome potential problems if a parent node drops (and users would then just be able to use their other "parent" as the main channel).

I thought I heard him mention that packets will have directions--"turn left, turn right", etc-- which will then be stripped away per each traversal. What is to stop malformed packets from occurring with this? Also, what if the packet "turns left", only to find that it hit a dead end (or dead node)?

Will IPs be the key, or will they just act as a key? Also, how will IPs work when it comes to within a network (home network, intranet, WAN) compared to when they leave for the public sort of mesh-net? Will there be reservations for in-house IPs like we already have, or will there be some other workaround?

And finally, it would be interesting to see what happens in regards to TLDs. It would be interesting to see an actual naming scheme that used something like Java packages, so we would be able to navigate to something like: .org.npr.news (keeping the trailing period that a qualified name has?)

I hope to see this taking actually becoming more of a democratic network than the current Internet implementation we have. Although, like anything, it will take time and work.

A doctor doesn't go to heal the healthy, but the sick. If this channel really does broadcast propaganda, where better to spread words about freedom?
