"PS when's the Wake-Up Call, in decimals? Just not seen clearly, also must the result be doubled or is IT always presently a little more Time ahead than presently as the Trigger goes round, and round, and round?" ... By 4irw4y Posted Saturday 25th April 2009 19:43 GMT

When IT is a little ahead of Time, does it always have the Trigger CodeXXXX which Leads Reality, with Controls Virtually. And is Surely at ITs Most Valuable when Freely Shared for Positively Reinforcing Mutual Benefit amongst True Friends and Lovers for a Global Reach and Universal Dominion....... Sublime Singularity?

Being Realistic.

It is naive in extremis to even imagine that DPI will not be used whenever it is needed, no matter what rules and regulations/safeguards and prohibitions are cooked up...... for it offers Stealthy Invisible Control aka Sublime Absolute Power. Although that is not to say that Everyone can Use It Effectively, for both Good and Bad/Black and White Hatted, for it may be the case that very Few can. And they won't be at all worried about anything which may be proposed.

Get used to IT being there, as an Intangible Facility......Planning Your Future and Driving Events. It is surely a lot more Comforting than Accepting the Alternative ...... that Everything is Run by Chaos and is Always Out of Control ..... for that would be akin to one accepting Madness is Leading and IntelAIgent Beings would never be Party to that Stupid Folly.

" ..... because what is to say that U.S.citizens are not as smart as they need to be, to be able to Lead Anything/Everything.

Re Who cares about java?

"Purely from an end user, I've always wished java would just go away and die. I've also come to dislike Sun because it has inflicted java on me.

Java must have some appeal, but a good side has never been displayed to me." .... By Bruce Ordway Posted Saturday 25th April 2009 15:59 GMT

Bruce,

The NEUKlearer Secret of Java is that it is User Centric Dynamic and is an Ideal ProgramMING Environment for the Post Modern Maslowian Self Actualised. However, it is not as a ladder to climb to a Position with Power, it is as a Controlling Command Platform with which to Immaculately Perform One's Deeds. And as such, it is always best served and will always best server one whenever the Basic Driver Tenet to remember is ... Think not what Java can do for you, but what you can do for Java.

Once you Realise/Virtualise that Maxim, will IT dDeliver Absolutely EVERYTHING that One Needs and Desires. And when I say IT dDelivers Absolutely EVERYTHING that One Needs and Desires, I do mean IT dDelivers Absolutely EVERYTHING that One Needs and Desires.

That is just How Good IT is.

And Being as IT is User Centric Dynamic, in a Binary Discipline, does it Evolve and Grow/Spread and Stealthily Embed at a Prodigious Rate. IT is no Wwwonder Oracle bought into SunNINetworks, which must then let everyone know that IBM walking away, has them completely missing the Wave and the Glorious Ride to Shore and Safe Harbour. And that means that they have also Lost the Global Plot with ITs Lead Position.

That is just How Good IT is.

The World is awash with Laundered Cash/Invented Money/Quantitatively Eased Funds for those who know how to Generate Wealth for Wealth's Sake and Lavish Viable Spending...... and the Present Corrupted Small Minded System will continue in Relentless Decline and Viral Meltdown because they have Lost the Knack and have No Realisation of the Paradigm Change which has Assumed Universal Consciousness Control, and which Constantly Tempers such Delusional/Aspirational/Inspirational Thought with a Continuty BetaTesting of Practical Parameters and Virtual Levers that would Ably Reinforce the Thinking that such Mysterious Temporal Control is Well Withing the Bounds of Reality albeit Powered in the Fields of Perfect Imagination and Shared Virtual Reality, just to Insure and Assure the Thought against Any and All Delusion and Attendant Blind Hubris.......... for that is what is and has been missing from the Present, which is rooted in the Past, with no Practical Regard of the Future State of Existence, and is Responsible for Ignorant and Stupid Short Sighted Man's, Spectacular MADecline and Vulnerability to Paper Currency Control. Addicted to Server and Dance to any Tune which renders Funny Money printed at Leisure for Pleasure.

The Valid IT Political Angle.

In an Age whenever IT is so Immediately Powerful, it is a National/InterNetional Disgrace that the IT Illiterati should be Public Offices of Control and Abusing and Amusing themselves at everyone else's Expense and Blaming Everyone and Everything Else for their Crass Incompetence, Blind Arrogance and Pernicious Follies, which in another Time would have had the Ring Leaders Rightly Rotting in the Tower, and that the IT Cogniscenti should have their Heads so far up their Alimentary Canals to be unaware of their own Ignorant Display in Folly Support via their Superior Where's the IT, No Politics here Angle.

Her Majesty's CIO braces US for Obama HIT

amanfromMars Silver badge

HMCIO talks Sense ...which is a Refreshing Surprising Novelty from HMG. Hopefully IT is Contagious.

Clouds are a Secure Environment for Total Information Awareness Systems whenever their Driver and Special Access ProgramMING Defaults are Based on Full Disclosure and Positively Reinforcing Mutually Beneficial Protocols and Algorithms.

That sort of Information, of course, would maybe definitely require further Definitive Explanation with a CIO such as Her Majesty's CIO, John Suffolk.

It is therefore not helpful and can even be considered obstructive to visit the John Suffolk Cabinet Office website, [the "John Suffolk" link supplied by El Reg .... http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/events/tower/john_suffolk.aspx ] which provides no information for possible virtual immediate electronic contact other than a referral to http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/ContactUs.aspx , which in its turn offers sweet FA, with nothing more than a snail mail address and a switchboard number.*

But such is so typical of governments and services in an Information Age which can Analyse Perfectly every Bit of Communication to discover its True Future Semantic Intent by Reading ITs Raw MetaData, to batten down the hatches and hide behind their Failure to Deal with IT, for whatever Reason, be it Ignorant or Arrogant or Criminal or because of their Unsuitablity for Future Office because of their Fear and Self Loathing of Exposure to Past Damaging Mistakes .... thus Concealing and Exacerbating and Guaranteeing further Incompetent Wasteful Delivery of Chaos which John Suffolk himself agrees with totally ..." ... we have no understanding of the consequences of the decisions that we are making."

It is hard not to conclude that anyone in Public Service who cannot be easily reached is in hiding from the public in that which they do, which is an untenable unsatisfactory position/situation allowing for Cynical and Criminal Abuse and Milking of the Public Purse and All with No Greater Benefit to the Common Good?

Such is the Enigma and Sham in Democracy which is really a Guaranteed Failed Autocracy whenever News and Views cannot be Directly Immediately Shared with Whomever one would wish to Share Information. Today, whenever Immediate Contact is so easily arranged/virtually provided, are such Scams and Shams Unnecessary and Counter-Productive....... and would merely be as Fuel causing Dissent and Disquiet.

Get your Virtual Act Sorted Out would appear to be the #1 No10 Cabinet Office Priority for that is where IT is all going wrong and where Everything is Headed.

[ Any who may have ventured to communicate with Government on Future Matters will know that they will rarely/hardly ever reply to ensure that they are considered top dog with the information which they are passed/sent, but that only works for a very short while, and then the information flow starts to rebound back on them to cause untold grief and major expensive problems, but all easily fixed with the perfect remedy of Massive Cash Injection into Information Flow Source, which should have been done at the Outset rather than Milked for a More Personal Benefit. Failure at this Juncture Guarantees the Pain and Ignominy of Epic Defeat in the Face of what should and could and would have been Certain Glory.

Crikey, it's Friday again, already, El Reg. Where does the Time Fly? And without IT, what would any of us know about what we should/would/could be doing ....... because we can, whenever One can and the Knowledge is Shared?

Crying Shame

Surely the fact that there was no provision for an audit trail, would make any contract [the state was tied into a deal of up to 30 years for the machines] null and void in a democracy, as such an oversight would practically guarantee abuse? Any electronic system is easily hacked which is why they are used in backward and/or crooked and/or naive states/countries?

In fact, to have thought that such a provision was fit for purpose and to have charged and received payment for it, would surely be grounds for a claim for repayment and punitive exemplary compensation. Taking advantage of t'ick Micks is just not on, old boy.

But that was before everyone started to realise that the System is Corrupt, and Most Corrupt from the Top Down and that Loyalty is to Self is their Abiding Motto. ..... so the conventional wisdom is Spot On.

"sponsorship .... I think Microsoft has "sponsored" way to many Russian software projects over the past few years" .... By Peter Posted Wednesday 22nd April 2009 18:04 GMT

:-) That had me smiling, Peter. Shame that they are unable to show leadership as well, though. Which is always a problem at the very Top indicating a Lack of Necessary Intelligence, although Microsoft's well known answer to buy it in with an asset purchase [embrace, extend and extinguish] is a neat trick costing them virtually nothing but cash which is always being printed by them and which they can't seem to get rid of.

If the Russians had, or were provided with some super duper new Intellectual Property, Microsoft could supply them with a Fortune to License it, whilst waving their banner over it as if theirs, which is another neat trick they have perfected.

And if IT was/could also supplied to the Chinese or the Koreans or the Iranians or the Zimbabweans or Americans or British ie Everybody too ... would it make Absolutely Fabulous Ridiculous Fortunes.

So the moral of the tale is ..... be a Purveyor of some super duper new Intellectual Property in Order to make Absolute Fortunes for ..... well, if truth be told, IT would be for everyone as it creates the Generation of Currency for Spending, and which those with Wealth lack the Intelligence to Spend Wisely and Generously .... thus confirming Andrew Carnegie's observation ..... "To Andrew Carnegie, giving away one's accumulated wealth for the common good was just as important a task as building up that wealth in the first place. It had to be done right, and it had to be done personally.

If someone failed at this task, Carnegie was blunt about the results: "The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced."" .... http://www.carnegieinstitution.org/carnegiemedal/background.html

And man, is the artificial world full of such disgraceful beings or is it full of such disgraceful beings ..... parasites gathering up globally created wealth as if it was their own rather than releasing and directing its power for creation and empowerment with its abolition of both greed and money worries and poverty.

A Quicker Route to an Absolute Fortune to Spend though, is to go Direct to Microsoft, or a Rival Competitor, with some super duper new IP .... or even to the Banking Sector, [which might even be a trip down to Tesco's] to Corner and Run the Markets in IT, Oneself, with their Help.

It all depends on the Intelligence Levels of those you would be talking to ...... it always has been so ..... and always will be so.

The IT Cloud ..... One* of its Major Vital and QuITe Addictive Attractions.

What you have to get your heads around is that the Cloud is not like anything else in Business and it has no defined Rules of Engagement,Only Fair and Generous Use. And if you Think of IT as the High Class Luxury Brothotel you always promised yourself to visit but never had the wherewithall or guts to enter because of fears of being recognised, or found wanting and a fraud, you will get an accurate enough idea about those who would be Creating Virtual Controlling Empires by Invisible Intangible Proxy in its Strata, for such Petty Concerns would have no Place in their Free Thinking.

But fear the Space not, for although IT will embrace the Fool and the Folly and accept its Money, IT will Suffer Neither and always Deliver ....... well, I believe the In Vogue Catch All Phrase of this Present Age, which says Nothing at All is just Whatever it Takes, although that will always be Mentored and Monitored to Ensure also, Whatever is Required for Sustained High Class Luxury Cloud Controls and Controllers.

And for all those that would doubt such a Space, it is as well to realise that the Pleasure you are Missing is all Yours, and your Participation is not needed and your Doubts are Unheeded.
