Google: Surge in pressure from govts to DELETE CHUNKS of the web

History rewritten or hidden?

It seems the History Boogymen are coming to bite perpetrators in the rear over and over. One way to avoid the bite is to destroy the info. Like Spooks in the night running for the shredder to hide the proof?

Who'll save the 100 most endangered species? Microsoft, apparently

Re: Piffle

Humans are a virus on this planet that double in number approximately every 30 or so years. In 30 years our numbers will be over 14 billion, an unsustainable number to infest this planet. We, too, will become endangered species, as dictated by the Nature of this planet who certainly won't value our infestation on her health and sustainability. As we keep creating an "unhealthy" atmosphere, nature will take care of us and our smartness of ego in one fell swoop, be it famine, or plague. When we have decimated the last animal and the last tree, we will suddenly become aware that we cannot sustain ourselves by only eating money, our last treasure. So, in my opinion, it behooves us as an unintelligent species to make sure this does not happen.
