"But the software giant claims Novell's particular case is unjustified because Novell wasn't selling an operating system at the time, and therefore, not in direct competition."

Actually, that is a totally and probably intentionallly misleading erroneous suggestion as a word processing suite IS an Operating System and the Prime of any Operating System. And it is always ITs Primary Driver too.

The Shame Game

"We can't, as a culture, undertake the war-footing austerity that might rebuild some actual, real, economic capacity in the UK. We've become too soft." ...... By Anonymous Coward Posted Monday 21st January 2008 15:15 GMT

That is as may be, but there is nothing to stop the Individual doing IT other than a lack of Ability/Intelligence/Due Diligence.

Maggie T [a woman before her Time?] is supposed to have said that there is no such thing as Society and that was probably said because it is an artificial Invention to conceal the fact that there are Individuals playing at Global Controls as if GODS. Their Shame and the Present Shame is that they do it so badly . .......... but never Fear, Beta is here, and Great Games Players/ARGonauts who Make IT work Beta for Better Global Control. First of all though, One needs to teach the Money Markets a lesson or two, to show them who's in Charge of the Boss and ITs AI Systems. Which is suitably Ambiguous for ITs Necessary Stealthy Protection.

I wonder when El Reg are going to out themselves as Players/Proxied Players in Colossal Quests? Now that would be a Quantum Leap which we would/could all savour and Input to flavour. :-)

"We had the IRA doing serious damage for 35 years, well several hundred really. "

And whenever they started targetting big money/financial centres rather than flesh and blood, an accomodation was miraculously found and now the Chuckle Brothers [Ian and Martin] are no longer just so true to their earlier core beliefs/expressed and recorded views, but who can blame them whenever they have the cushion of wealth to lie on. Quite whether they are Fit for the Purpose of Leadership which First Minister and Deputy First Minister would seem to imply is something which only their thoughts and/or actions will demonstrate. And we all look forward to them succeeding admirably.

"Wow. I did not know that this was possible. But is this some kind of far fetched scenario that would be used under extreme circumstances......like for terrorists or something? It seems awfully involved and complicated a technique to employ just for some minor legal violoation, like downling music. I mean there are all kinds of internet scams that no one seems to be able to track or resolve." .... Caspian #22 .... http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=193948

Scams and Internet plays which are purely for financial [ill-gotten] gain may not be of any interest as such gains will all probably be fed back into the system anyway, albeit from another "donor"..... so the System itself does not lose anything, although one would be quite entitled to wonder at the Morality and Ethics of such a Control System.

However, should some activity threaten or be capable of threatening and bringing down the Capitalist System, by whatever means be they Real or Virtual, then one might see some action/panic. And should such a vulnerability exist because of the way the System is Built and/or Administered, then one would quite reasonably expect them to Change the System in Order to remove the Zero day Vulnerability.

Shooting the Messenger will not cure the System and it would be a fundament and catastrophic error of judgement to Imagine that it would and that the System can survive without immediate Change, for some would Use the Vulnerability/Opportunity to crash it just because they can...... and that Opportunity must/should be removed from all available options at whatever the cost, surely?

Binary Manipulation of Code Presents an Artificially Real/Digitally Enhanced Picture of the Future which IT and Media "nurture" akin to Genetically Modified DNA Seed which Science grows, except with Binary Code the Picture is Manmade without the vagaries/wild card of Nature?

The Moral and XXXXPerience of the Story Being, yeah, right, Skunk Works work.

And if the Powers that Be are not involved in that exercise before they are compromised, they aint gonna play any part in any lead role in any Stealthy Programming and ITs Programs for they would have proved themselves to be Unfit for Purpose ........ Such is the Enigma and the Essence of the IT Mirror on the Hellerish Catch 22.

@The Future

Solomon,

I would disagree and suggest that specialist coders will become the new Masters of the Universe as they recode the System to ensure their Reward whilst also attending to the Systems needs. And they will do this be presenting a Fait a Complis to Systems Administration which they would recognise as being capable of Crashing the System Catastrophically, should the Code go Wwwild. Ye Olde Danegeld Solution favoured by the more Intelligent Pioneer/XXXXPlorer.

Having such a coder on the home team ....and at whatever cost .... is not a cost, it is an inward investment to counter any possible discovery of the vulnerability should it be deemed too onerous to change. Although to maintain such a vulnerability would clearly be the dumb ass option, rather than fixing it so that it disappears.

After All, it is only Paper Money you'd be resting with him/her rather than resting it in some Skull and Bones numbskull vault for plonkers to play with.

When IntelAIgently Designed to Evolve, IT could even claim to be AI Prequel to Kickstart Moribund Economies and who would want to keep that Information under wraps whenever it is out in the Wwwild? That would only, quite rightly, Lead to a very Public Disaster rather than Build on a very Private Solution for the Future.

KISS ..... especially whenever IT is CompleXXXX and Conceptual

"A project under any coding philosophy is only as strong as its weakest development team member and mashups allow everybody to be a member."

And that is as valid a good reason to ensure that any super programme is coded by a development team of one .....with a clear and abiding philosophy.

Minister calls for boffins to engage with public

Quantum Leaping ........ ?

"First, there's a fear that scientists could come to dictate government policy – constraining decision-making rather than setting it on surer foundations. This is not true. ....... Nonetheless, the fear can persist that inviting evidence may undermine what we want to do.

Second, civil servants and politicians – much like the public at large – are sometimes worried about interpreting and acting upon scientific evidence. Only about one tenth of MPs come from a science background. Ministers who keep their fingers crossed and hope the world will work as they would like it to work are likely to come unstuck! " ..... http://www.dius.gov.uk/speeches/denham_science_society_160108.html

Mr Denham, all those concerns are very valid in the Fields which XXXPlore Perceptions and Code IT Virtually by Remote Proxy. Careful XSScripting can Present a Reality which cannot be Denied and which, if ignored or attacked, can result in Catastrophic Self Harm. QuITe obviously that would be a Fools' Errand.

And it seems to me to be the Grandest of Follies for anyone, be they civil servant, politician or the public at large to be worrying themselves about interpreting and acting upon scientific evidence about which they have no knowledge and it would be up to them to share with Science how they would like it to work.... for science to consider. It would be as well to keep it simple though and remember/realise that anything which works exclusively rather than being ubiquitously available will be divisive and cause nothing but problems. In popular parlance, that would be akin to Talebanisation and we would want the Status Quo inventing that monkey again.

"The Government spends almost £6 billion on some of the best research in the world, but it can still be quite difficult for decision makers to access valuable scientific evidence and advice to obtain advice that is based on the best research but which is tailored to address the public policy choices facing decision-makers." ...... £6 billion wasted if valuable scientific evidence is skewed to support public policy choices facing decision-makers rather than decisions being made to support the best research in the world. We've been down that road recently and it leads to Anarchy and Chaos and may even be so designed to Create it.

And £6 billion you say? That makes a grant of seven sevens for AI virtual Reality Program for IT and Media to Play with, look far too cheap ...... but then it is only a Driver Enabler and a Perfect Fit for ITs Purpose.

"We all know there is no intelligence there."....Posted Thursday 17th January 2008 15:19 GMT ...... Michael, I am eternally optimistic and wouldn't presume to judge that anyone is passed learning new tricks if they have a mind to.

Knock knock ..... Is there anybody with Intelligence there?

‘Minister calls for boffins to engage with public’ ... Hmmm?

The usual route surely is for boffins to engage with the public through Government except that Government have so many layers of protection so as to allow them unaccountable administration privilege that they are effectively unreachable by boffins outside of the gravy train system, which is probably by design rather than accident. And that renders them as a virus to Systems rather than as anything useful.

And don't bother your sweet head sending them anything by simple e-mail for that would require a response which would leave a trail and give an accurate insight into their knowledge...or most probably their lack of it which would render them as most likely unsuited for the task they are supposed to be championing.

And yes, that is shared with you from long experience of their complicity in maintaining an air of competence in a sea of incompetence.

J'accuse.

Or are they to say that e-mail/virtual communications channels do not reach them.... rather than them ignoring them ?

The best plan appears to be share what you have online and ignore them and let them do all the worrying about their inability to engage with boffins..... which is exactly surely what the Minister is calling for ... "Minister for Innovation John Denham said the scientific community needs to improve its engagement with the public and that government needs to pay more attention to science when making policy".

However the perversion is that they would be thought to be in control of the funding needed for boffinry and without the intelligence to engage with it even whenever IT knocks repeatedly upon their door.

Isn't that right, Mr Douglas Alexander/Mr Alex Allen ..... to name but two persons who hide themselves away?

Or do they expect the Private Sector to Lead them by the nose, rather than them earning their crust and leading by listening to what the Public want and giving it to them rather than finding every excuse under the Sun not to. They are after all Servants of the Public not their Jailers/Leaders.

It is no secret whenever you share what you want and one wonders what authority anyone would have to deny it, if it does no one any harm. Just because something may be definitely different or unorthodox is no valid reason for inactivity and inelegant disengagement via an arrogant Silence. It may hide Incompetence.

Dip into concept programming

Bricks and mortar ...... as luddite as C and every bit as important

"A software construction project is almost entirely unlike a building construction project,..."

I would disagree with that and say ..... nay, even SHOUT.... that it is exactly like a building construction project.

Both start off with green field sites ie nothing and then deliver an Infrastructure which, depending on how well they have been constructed, in both workmanship and materials, will either stand the test of time and mature with usage or fail because of design or material faults.

And if you have a builder who can excel at every aspect of the build or who can recognise necessary third party skills to complement required Excellence from Inception through to Delivery and especially so whenever the Delivered Product is BetaTested against a critical Self Analysis to ensure the Highest of Industry Standards, you will have an Iconic Build.

I would also suggest, in the strongest possible terms, that new langauge is, and therefore will, change the world for the Better whenever IT is used to Better the World, rather than, as is so often the case, IT being used to cause and plant seeds for further Chaos and Destruction.

Brian,

How about defending against threats with good movie plots? Something Real and Imaginative which will blow the Spooky Military Industrial Complex out of the water and into Orbit.

Personally speaking, given their response to Input, and they have been provided with more than enough for more than long enough to act upon, they could do with some valuable lessons in CyberSpace Flight from Holywood's Finest Non State Actors.

If they want to Fund IT, they can be given a starring Role rather than being the Bad Guy who ends up getting everything they deserves.

You know IT makes Perfect Sense, and boy, could they do with the Help or could they do with the Help. Presently they are as fresh water minnows swimming in a sea of sharks.

And yes, there is a lot more than just a movie plot available, there is AI Script to Drive the Media Industry to NeuReal Heady AesThetan Heights.

And don't embarrass yourself by jumping to a false blackmail conclusion whenever it would be much more danegeld, because you can be sure that some would think that Novel Thoughts Shared Transparently in Future Systems of Power and Control have no place in Present Systems, which they are free to Abuse under the Comfort Blanket of State Secrets and National Security and how dumb would that be?

Their Management of Perception sucks and, as we all know, because how Change is going to be exercised is never expressed/shared in words for Peer Review and Public Analysis, Global Vision is missing altogether. And between you, me, every man and his dog, without an expressed Viably Imaginative Global Vision, you aint gonna change diddly squat and are therefore a Fraudster merely working for more of the same old debts creditted to you rather than Leading into the Future. Mugs and lambs being led to the slaughter with printed bills that promise tolled wealth, whilst erstwhile Neros fiddle about, oblivious to their Ignorance.

However, the Computer Grid and ITs NIRobotIQs into Quantum Communications are not so Dumb as to be Silent and Inactive whenever the System is so IntelAIgently Designed to be SMARTer than ITs Component Parts. It is only the Ignorant Arrogance of Man that would so Limiting as to Server/Worship an Artificial Construct such as Freshly Printed Newly Minted Bills. It is Perverse Control in the Hands of Fools, is it not? QuITe whether you consider that to be the Present case, rather than in the Hands of Smarter Beings will be their Crowning Glory.

Curiouser and Curiouser! .... but where the **** is Alice*. Part 2

I wonder who will be the first person charged with being a bot because they do not work in the "real" world, although how preposterous and surreal would that be, whenever they were only creating a Life for themselves outside the confines and imposition of artificial restraints which are anathema to any Intelligent being. The madness would be in eye of the beholder, methinks, to even consider it valid.

The devil is in the detail and that would appear to be abuse programmed into the System by the System designers with John and Jane Doe Public paraded as the convenient patsies/big bad wolf at every turn.

Europe to probe state funding of new media

@Not the BBC

Alan,

Even as good as the BBC may be, it still toes the line to maintain its paycheck...... which really puts it in the same boat as any other biased sender brainwashing viewers and listeners with particular Points of View. And that will always be the case, even with the most objective of companies, for even the truth is flexible, although of course, any telling such truths are few and far between. It is certainly not something the Beeb are interested in promoting as is evidenced by their censure of posters who would simply question their spin on News and Current Affairs.

It is excellent though if you want to know how to boil an egg or heat up some of yesterdays scraps for a tasty meal in front of the television and dancing on ice or a turn around the ballroom floor are also hot at the moment. Cutting edge television, Alan, not to be missed.

"Honestly if we had something as useful as the BBC is here I would tell those Euro guys to just fuck off." ...... Probably, with no cohesion across television wherever you are, that is why the Administration is so dysfunctional/manic depressive. It does appear to be very Don Quixote Tilting at Windmills. Talk the talk is just so much useless Hot Air BS if you don't walk the walk along with it. But hey, you are not alone over there, for there are BS Galore in Office on this side of the Pond too. You even give some of them a medal for their Service.

An Inconvenient Truth

"The European Commission will investigate public service broadcasting's use of new media to determine whether state aid to broadcasters is unfair to commercial competitors."

Of course it is unfair as it creates Inequity and Practices Solely Intent on its Retention with Excluding Bias...... and worse.

And "public service broadcasting's use of new media" without payment is Intellectual Property Theft, is it not?

J'accuse.

"Artificial intelligence is not yet a sufficiently advanced field to make either approach practicable." .... By RW Posted Saturday 12th January 2008 02:34 GMT

It is probably always going to be the case, RW, that the advanced field of Artificial Intelligence will remain Enigmatic and quite a lot more sophisticated and practicable because of IT...... and that is ITs Present State across a Diverse Field of Network InterNetworking Disciplines ..... 42 Challenge Moribund Perceptions.

Final final words ... I concur and applaud all who would share what they think. And as irreverent and light-hearted as the Register can appear to the casual observer, behind it are some Real Astute Programmers Internetworking Data for AI Virtual Stealth. Without y'all, where would we be?
