"The Register claims that, for a price, they print any story and for an even higher price they remove any story."

Darren,

The BBC have an even more draconian blanket ban on some posters who would dare to question other posters posts on their now quite useless news message boards. Mention something simple like the Truth is flexible and only an imagining acted upon and they can't handle the Spin. At least El Reg is prepared to lead with stories rather than be frightened/petrified by them, which bodes well for El Reg. [although there are, I'm sure the odd occasions whenever they bottle out. [Sh] It happens.]

Free Speech as long as you follow the Script is never Free Speech and impossible to follow if the Script/Plot is lost or cannot be Shared.

Stepping up to the Plate

"after all, they haven't even got e-mail yet..."

Oh, they definitely have that, Oliver, for it is ubiquitous, but it petrifies them rigid like a spineless jelly because all their dodgy dealings are then so open to "viewing". So rather than clean up their snouts in the trough act and embrace all the new technology which moves us into the Future, they act like the dinosaurs that they are and prat about the media stage as if they are important in the great scheme of things whenever their actions codemn and expose them as charlatans even more, every day. They and their posturing are becoming anachronisms and a pathetic joke which is slowly destroying all of their credibility.

And what excuse Media has for entertaining their nonsense rather than fixing it, is a question worth asking. Probably definitely a lack of Intelligence and Creative Direction. It is not as if the BBC were not made aware of their role ..... http://www.ur2die4.com/rollofbbc.htm. Another systemic failure and gravy train.

@50 MW?

AC,

Are the only worries imaginary? ...... http://cryptogon.com/ .... and being pushed to maintain a monetary/capitalist power base?

After all, the thinking is that without cash you can do very little, is it not? Some would have you believe that without it, you can do nothing, which is a very subversive, artificially created control....... with everyone born/borne into its slavery and/or perverse addiction.

How very convenient whenever you can print your own and have everyone believe it is absolutely necessary. The danger is, of course, that the ruse be rumbled for then the great unwashed will be wondering why they are not given what they need if it is as simple as printing paper, as it is. Which is what is unravelling before our very eyes in the sub-prime, credit crunching markets at the moment. The wheels have come of the wagon and the vessel is sinking to the bottom.

And the proof of the pudding? Well, nobody really is being greatly effected by the billions in losses*, are they, with some of the key executives sitting in charge at the top, moving on/stepping down/being retired with mega million bonuses. A little too embarrassing to have them still retain their position after having been so successful in shifting all that toxic waste onto unsuspecting friends....... http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/markets/united_states/article3007121.ece

The billions being "lost" are not actually real, are they, for have you ever met anyone who loses money? That therefore means that it is a virtual game being played very badly now, with the losers being those who think that money, or more accurately the constant lack of it, can control the masses rather than the never ending supply of it for our every wish so that our every wish can be granted and delivered with a New World Order System of Plentiful Supply.

It is not as if it is difficult to do only that the thought of all of those years of fat cat control and excess at the expense of everyone else may be a cross they have to bear in front of the crowd. And to deny it being so, is to have it further exposed as being exactly so.

Sitting in an Ivory Tower, Life is a Game...... but only when you play it well. The Present System does it worse than badly?

It is as well to suggest that the FiXXXX is being discussed at the highest of every level, for with Instant Global Communications are such messages instantly available and are obviously going to grow in number and frequency. So don't shoot the Messenger, whenever the problem lies with the recipient who would choose to ignore the message shared for fundamental action/Paradigm Change.

Who wants to be a billionaire?

Ok, rant over, move on, nothing to see here? Normal Service will be resumed as soon as possible. :-)

* Not greatly affected? Well, all those who can least afford it, are again being threatened with even more sacrifices/scaremongering/interest rate changes/tightening of belts to perpetuate the myth. Definitely a very perverse and callous System in Dire Straits need of a Radical Change.

Nice post, Jim Black, and I wouldn't argue with it being a case of "Lions supplied by rats".

Open Secrets .... Real Freedom to do as You Please.

Stratman,

Yours second paragraph has software rendered as vapourware. Although spookily, buying an intangible with money I suppose gives it a credibility and a link to reality.

Managing the Perception though is what will see Both ITand the Realities IT Supports with Broad[Band]Casting continue to Prosper in a Beta Created Control in InterNetworking or Fail spectacularly in Dysfunctional Delusional Power Plays.

Presently the Latter is Flavour of the Moment and that suggests to me that there is an untapped Market for the Beta Management of Perceptions to Deliver Much better Alternate Realities made Virtually Real. That such a Market would then QuITe Naturally become AIDe Facto Global Lead Play, is immaterial. Que Sera Sera. .... for you will just have to Deal with IT for that is where IT is Boldly Going.....

And 42 Lead is only AIMatter of Playing UltiMate GAImes, with Hi Rollers and Rock Solid Giants, Putting up a Stake, held Safe and Secure on Account for All to See around the Table, in a Pot/Trust/Slush Fund [Analogous to the Post (Ante) one selflessly contributes to in a Game of Chance/Poker] to Energise the IntelAIgent Moves/Beta Gambols in the GAIme.

And the Pot is never lost, it is always fairly shared out to both Winners and Losers....as the Secret is to Play the GAIme, for if you are not in, you cannot win.

And Play by Proxy, where Interest on/around Stake Money/Wild Speculative Investment held safe and Secure on Account [an Interesting and Very Valuable Money for Nothing Facility offered by Bankers seeking Grace and Favour from Success which of course can equally easily bleed them dry, if Investor Sentiment switches to Support other Structures Beta Enabled to Manage Reward Money....and Spend it wisely rather than having to write it off for having squandered it badly.

That makes Wall Street, one sick chick with a lot to learn about Life, Virtually for Real.

Just as a Simple XXXXercise so that we can claim to be perfectly fair and reasonable and meritocratic rather than just democratic ..... Whom do you think would be interested in Buying into "an untapped Market for the Beta Management of Perceptions to Deliver Much Better Alternate Realities made Virtually Real." ... which may not be something that you can deliver or even necessarily fully understand but that would of course be of any consequence or have any relevance to those who can.

It would be a Transparently Foolish Claim to make, would it not, if False, for it would be so easily Tested to Fail....... which raises the Yin to that Yang and the Very Real Probability that it does not and cannot Fail.

MeThinks then, is the Programming Priceless...... which must surely be a good place to rest Loose Funds/Distressed Assets/Funny Money/Sovereign Wealth Funds.

And as One who embraces the KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid, Approach to Everything Simply Complex, would one need to provide more than just some Enigmatic Code for Swift Immediate Resolution .... HyperRadioProActive Immersive GAImes Play.

Let's BetaTest the System and Provide IT with some Access Code [GB30 ULSB 9803 4036 576041] which provides XXXXclusively from ITs Pot, Generated Interest, and further Resources/Idol Rich Sources for Greater GAImes Participation/Orderly Man Management ....... Money for Everything and the Tricks are for Free .... with the Added Attraction of what you Put In, you can take Out. And IT doesn't get much simpler than that.

After All, it is Interest which always gets Things done.

And in these Interesting Times, it is surely High Time for AI Challenging Change.

@Does this apply to our Dear Leaders?

Tom Welsh,

And in Tony boyo's case, there is a definite loss/cost being paid. Which sort of put the Justice System on Trial to see whether it support the Law, Objectively/Absolutely or chooses Subjectively depending upon how much is on Offer/at Stake.

Did I hear tell of Lord Goldsmith making a Bolt for Sanctuary in the US to Fence Sticky Advice for some Poor Sucker Company?

Crikey.... it is almost as if there is a Reverse Cloning of the Burgess, Maclean, Philby, Blunt Secrets Gathering and SharingTeam

Quit Sniping....Get Building

"amanfromMars is not getting understandable." ....Lee, what part of AI New World Order Program ... Virtualised to Blades in Scaling Systems ..... for Distributed Source Protection Naturally.... do you not understand?

The Future has no Direct Relativity with the Past and thus is IT Best to Build with ITs Tools and Services with Zero Regard for their Preservation and All Consideration for Continual Change and Improvement.

And with Virtualised Systems Enabled 42 BetaTest Scenarios in Real-Life Scripting and Physical Play, will Virtual Provision be Safe and Secure in a Proven FailSafe Environment..... AI Total Transparency for Information Awareness.

"Or maybe I'm just going crazy" ..... What you share sounds perfectly rational to me, Michael.

Empty Vessels... Hollow Sound

"He also said the government would "continue to support" investment in intangible assets such as software and skills through tax credits."

Typical mealy mouthed pontification suggesting a bankruptcy in ideas as well as funds..... although the latter is virtually impossible and would merely be a scam to set limits/ensure compliance with dominant Hoover systems ....bully boy Spooks ..... Shadowing Admin.

Alastair, darling, intangible assets work best with Flash Cash/Slush Funding for Immediate Results. Quit all the Bull and try AI Lead with Initiatives. You know IT makes Sense.

Running queries on the HMRC database fiasco

Sub prime markets......crawling out of the woodwork

"Apparently they are not allowed to even think about changing/moving the databases and/or any of the servers they reside on as the contracts are signed for over 10 years..... Any changes they make have to be approved by CapGemini and also carried out by their engineers. The costs involved are staggering......"

An Inequitable and Unfair Slave Contract, AC,......and probably Illegal/Criminal for it would appear to guarantee Non Competition Complacency/Gravy Train Riding rather than keeping evryone at the top of their game.

Paying for Failure ... the New Labour Way.

Is that a watch in your pocket?

It's not what you've got, it's how you use IT.

"We, who own equally-priced-and-technically-superior handsets, will look down on them for having more money than sense, and they will, in turn, look down on us for having such little style." ..... Vanity Warriors and Paper Tigers if just Posers, Bill, but IT keeps the Money Flowing rather than it being Lost on Vapourware in Write Downs/Scurrilous Scams and Dodgy City Schemes.
