And so Dutch governments only last short periods of time, and it takes a long time to create a coalition. This is why Proportional Representation is such a bad idea. Better to have strong government with a clear mandate, and if you don't like it, vote it out next time. By the way what does any of this have to do with PHP? Nothing, I think. -- Cheers -- Tim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Getting a majority is hard, take for example the Dutch Politics [1]. Our country is now led by a parliament of 10 different political parties. Getting things done now is really hard, because each party has their own goals and finding a majority is for almost impossible. If all the parties were strictly following their own will, there would probably only a handful things done. The only way to get things done now is by making compromises. Another example is of course religion [2]. You can see that there's no majority there. Christianity being the largest with 33%. Even if that would be over 50%, you won't get peace if you say Christianity is the only correct religion.. - Matijn [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_the_Netherlands [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: Programmers and developers needed
Not to say I'm all in for communism... but communism failed for the same reason capitalism is failing. Corruption! Here might be a way to deal with this political issue, while keeping on topic with the "world peace PHP project": I've had this idea for years, but why not start a "technocracy" or "ultra social-democracy" that runs on a decentralized server, kind of like P2P (Kad, Bitcoins, etc.) -- only problem being the logic running the system (say, PHP scripts) would need to be programmed as a whole (so anyone could re-program the structure of such a social system, so it functioned the way everyone wanted). Think Wikipedia, but completely decentralized -- nobody could "corrupt" the system unless they were a majority. This seems to be the direction we're heading in -- what with hidden corruption, and most governments being slow processing laws, reforms, etc. May seem like a far-fetched idea, but I see it being one of the final things to come in a rapidly evolving technological society, replacing most republics with a social system more run by the people. Nobody would ever again complain about stuff not getting done, when mobs of people could actually change the system the way they wanted -- and quicker. Socialism/communism/Marxism in the past has never worked, because a minority-elite would eventually take over and convert it into a totalitarian state with only the mere façade of socialism we see in countries today (not exactly the idea Karl Marx had in mind). -- Doug Heimbecker d...@tac.us -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I can watch an hour-long program in 47 minutes. (Though this > is a sad commentary on television and cable content providers.) Not to tangent too far here, but I'm about ready to cancel my TiVo. I've been with them since 1999. It infuriates me to no end that they too are now shoving their stupid ad banners into the GUI menu. I've even seen commercials that had the "thumbs up" icon in the upper corner to "learn more". I see the same "Bounty Paper Towels" logo in my TiVo GUI everywhere. Don't get me started on their made-for-dumb-users crapy GUI and the unbearably slow navigation. UGHHGHGHH!!! I pay these bastards $15/mo basically for a TV guide. Because let's face it, without the guide, the DVR is pretty useless. I have a Windows7 MCE in my living room with the Ceton InfiniTV PCIe board and this is the best PVR/DVR I have ever seen/used (and I tried many from Myth, XBMC, MCE2005, others that are now defunct). WELL worth the initial cost to build. Works flawlessly. 4 HD streams (per card)! No monthly fees. Full HTPC experience with plugins even (weather, RSS, movies, etc.) http://cetoncorp.com/products/infinitv/ I was just approved to be on the beta testing team for the Echo due out by year's end. I should have my testing box by month's end. Once that happens and this thing works as I think it will (given the awesomeness of their other products), the TiVo Premier in my bedroom will make a great backstop for my AR-15 .223 rounds (and I will enjoy pumping that thing full of lead) http://cetoncorp.com/products/echo/ > Yes, ads are Evil(tm).

Money doesn't make all things possible. Time and energy make all things possible. Money is just a convenient placeholder for time and energy. At any rate, you're making the assumption that advertising was a necessary ingredient. It was not... nor does it's absence guarantee a government controlled internet.

Re: [PHP] Re: Programmers and developers needed
How naive you are to think that technology will promote world peace. People promote world peace and all the technology in the world cannot help them. You want world peace - stop chasing the "easy solution" and go do something. Look at the great "social networks" of today - they amount to picture sharing , boring recitations of a day's activities and character bashing. This great evolution of social networking that you wish to develop will do nothing more than improve upon that.
