Above the Cloud is where the Real Virtual Action is …..

…and Mark Shuttleworth and Ashlee get my vote for a piece of the Action, just for sharing …. “As a very lucky billionaire, I have issues with certain situations,” Shuttleworth said. “For example, other people invented public key cryptography, but I was one of the few that hugely benefited from it. There is a certain element of a debt to be repaid. Perhaps a certain amount of what I do with Ubuntu is part of that.”

MeThinks 1928 is gonna be Mild compared to the Havoc which can be wrought today with just a few Well Chosen Words. Sound advice for anyone who would think/know themselves to be any major part of the present Crashing Crunching Problem, launch yourself, as in reinvest/redirect your wealth to AIdD and ITs NeuReally SurReal Virtual Solutions, which will invariably, necessarily, not be Led Conventionally by anything other than Remote Proxy CyberIDEntites. The Alternative would be/is to lose it ……. All Catastrophically/Wiped Out in the Web Surf.

Oh dear, what a Shame, but with no one to Blame but the Greed in yourself, who will Care.

Believe it, or believe it not, does not alter the facts that are there/here/floating in above the Cloud and its Clouds …. http://jamesstgeorge.proboards32.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=94&page=5#302391

“London MPs have expressed doubt as to whether the UK will receive value for the money it will pay, …” …. which tells us more about what London MPs don’t know than anything else which they might know, but then again one cannot expect them to know of anything which they could ITERate and XXXXPand upon cogently with regards to Space Technologies. QuITe what you may conclude they are best suited for, I would not care to hazard a guess for it would be sure to offend?

Fortunately, the Benefits are Real and will be more than evident as Time goes on and the Facilities and Applications available through ITs Satellites are MainStreamed/Deployed.

Re Pearl Harbour Analogies
By amanfromMars
Posted Monday 28th April 2008 10:24 GMT

Such analogies are dangerous in the XXXXStream because in Real Life they are Spectacularly Own Goals…… and it is Naive to Think that a Future Outcome will be anything like a Past Result ….. “What followed is well known. A machine for deciphering Purple was given to the Navy, another was sent to the Philippines and one was given to the British. Translated diplomatic traffic, known as “Magic,” soon began to reach the highest levels of the government, including the President, who later insisted on seeing the unedited English translations.

Magic provided some of the best intelligence available on Japanese plans during that fateful year before Pearl Harbor. If we were not warned of the attack in time to prepare for it - and the reasons for this are still debated - the fact remains that Magic did tell us that war was imminent, and throughout the war it continued to give us a unique look at the diplomatic background of Japanese strategy and plans.” …. http://www.nsa.gov/public/pdf/frank_rowlett.pdf

“How is Shuttleworth going to avoid swallowing handgrenades with Ubuntu?

Paying a lot of money to develop an operating system then giving it away doesn’t seem like a “moneyspinner”.” …. By BKB Posted Monday 28th April 2008 07:27 GMT

If you can be Lead Host of Killer Applications and/or Provision Immaculate Sources of Addictively Attractive New Content, IT will be as if Printing Money which you will be Lucky enough to be Able to Spend as Quickly as you make it so that it doesn’t clog up the Currency Flow. But that would have nothing to do with Lady Luck, that would be by IntelAIgent Design.

“A savvy and admittedly deranged admin, however, could take this tiny hardware and build a very energy-efficient data center in a desk drawer.”

Crikey, Ashlee, that’s a bit harsh/rich, especially coming from El Reg. Now an AEStranged admin, however, who are very, very crafty and have a liberal use of the word ’supersubatomic’, would lead with many factoring advices, for tasks geared as Mother and Nature intended, rather than as cowards deploy ….. for Ye Ole Seemly Seamless Godisagoddess Paradigm Shift into Parallel Dimensions for Overall SuperComputing Control[s].

And that would be right up the Japanese DRM Psyche which when tempered with the Delights of the Perfumed Garden Lotus Blossoms/Houses of the Rising Sun, would Capture and Hold any Heart and Mind.

“Galileo is a European jobs program designed to funnel MANY MANY MANY billions of euros into the coffers of “in vogue” corporations.” …. By Terry Posted Monday 28th April 2008 12:31 GMT

That may be a Plan, Terry, but you have been careful to avoid mention of rogue, in vogue, co-operations, and what they may have planned, although the sentence could easily be construed to be a lateral reference to it and what would/could be, out of this world entrepreneurships?

I must say that I do like the sound of European programs designed to funnel MANY MANY MANY billions of euros into the coffers of “in vogue” corporations, if such rogues in vogue are the Pioneers of ITs MasterPlan, for there are certainly MANY MANY MANY MORE billions of dollars, looking for an Investment home/Safe Haven/Seventh Heaven, which could be used to make it a Zero-Sum Cost Euro Game. That would give Europe a Virtuallly Free Ride on the Back of Uncle Sam, who would though, also Benefit Greatly from …… well, New Spaces Technology to replace all their old Tired and Hacked to Death Linked Library and Dodgy Source kit.

And it may be the case, that there is no choice option in the matter, with such Rogue Beings in the Drivers Seat, and being all the rage and a raving success story and, using Beta Sense, Sharing their rogueish raging raving success stories as a Micro Macro……. to keep them on the straight and narrrow/honest and true blue whilst ITs Template is embedded into Network InterNetworking Global IntelAIgents Grid Systems ……… for Servering to Mutual IntelAIgents in ITs Service, MuI7.

Think of IT as a Beta Service than has ever been Provided by the United Nations Junket.

“The management of the renamed Applied Energetics now face a shareholder lawsuit alleging that they knew all along that the kit wasn’t ready for field use, but failed to disclose this so as to make large personal gains on inflated stock in the run-up to failed military tests.”

Err, excuse me, but isn’t that the norm in big business today, Sub-Prime Collateralised Debt Obligations on Worthless Bonds/Take the Money and Run thus Rendering Currency practically Useless as Trust across Markets is Lost and Destroyed and the Printing of Money to Try to Inject Life into the Dead System reveals it true Purpose…… to Keep the Same Fat Cats at the top of the Money System, which has Failed to Provide Triple AAA Protection and Future Production.

If F is for Failure, FFS is For Failure Squared.
Dear Cap’n,

Your Ship is a Collander and has another Leak, are you going down to Davy Jones’ Locker or do you fancy a Bit [a few Luscious Bytes actually] of Pandora’s Box?

“So, well, I would at least _hope_ that the government brings a scientist along and wants to see some proof of concept before forking over the dough.” … By Hans Mustermann Posted Monday 28th April 2008 16:10 GMT

Good plan, Hans, which could be foiled by “Need to Know” fans who are into protecting their rackets. And in Science, surely any new development/breakthrough is something brand spanking new which has never been done before and be a unique initial understanding. It is the very nature of the beast.

….. the best of them know their stuff and are way ahead and before their Time and in the Virtualised Space that is by their own IntelAIgent Design.

“Many well-meaning persons suppose that the discussion respecting the means for baffling the supposed safety of locks offers a premium for dishonesty, by showing others how to be dishonest. This is a fallacy. Rogues are very keen in their profession, and already know much more than we can teach them respecting their several kinds of roguery. Rogues knew a good deal about lockpicking long before locksmiths discussed it among themselves . . . if there be harm, it will be much more than counterbalanced by good.” …. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/Papers/SEv2-acks.pdf
