Is the cyber threat overblown? | Stephen M. Walt
I agree that we must differentiate from the real and potential threats that the term cyberwarfare engenders as well as what are the hierarchy of importance of such threats and there implications and solutions.Allowing governing and governments greater control of the internet is not necessarily the solution and in fact can be the promoter of further unnecessary and civil liberty limiting activity along with facilitating further the capaitalising and consumer carving up of the internet by selling various security solutions that are snake oil to some degree....importantly though it could be that it is distracting us also from more important issues that require our attention like climate change.

How serious are threats given the global crisis we are confronting in the f2f world or is there some sort of nexus we must come to understand that we are perhaps missing?

This sounds like a fairly unique solution but one wonders why Nokia dropped for future development because of sounding too futuristic?A better use for soda certainly...how eco friendly...I am not sure ultimately given what is placed in coke etc.

अच्फ़ ग्रीन होम्स update
Saving money and energy: an update on rebates from ACF GreenHome
In recent months the Federal Government has made some changes to the incentives it offers to householders who make environmentally friendly improvements to their homes. Here is the latest information on what you can claim back when you invest in energy- and water-saving measures.
Energy Efficient Homes Package
Builder Insulation
Part of the government's economic stimulus package, this scheme has three parts:
• Homeowner Insulation Program ¬- a $1600 rebate on ceiling insulation for owner-occupiers
• Solar Hot Water Rebate - a $1600 rebate on the installation of a solar hot water system
• Low Emission Assistance Plan for Renters - up to $1000 for landlords or tenants to install ceiling insulation in rental properties.
Both insulation rebates target homes with little or no ceiling insulation, and came into effect on 1 July 2009. Homeowners, landlords or tenants who installed insulation between 3 February 2009 and 30 June 2009 can also apply for a rebate, but this must be done within six months of installation.
The Solar Hot Water Rebate, in place since 3 February 2009, can be accessed by homeowners, landlords or tenants who replace an electric hot water system with a solar or heat-pump system.
Note that the insulation program and the solar hot water rebate are offered as alternatives for homeowners; you can't access both rebates for the same home.

A great idea.How many think of the future in the longer term and feel the need to leave something for posterity.If only we could grasp the concept on a daily basis thinking of future implications of our actions now.

"HOME SWEET HOME"
"HOME SWEET HOME"
Thought provoking images for everyone in our times.A slideshow by Jorges Mendes that captures a lot about the weird juxtapositions and results of consumerism and a lack of a sense of sustainablity in all things.The homeless street scenes could be I think seen in any city in the western world including Perth and Fremantle in Western Australia at the moment.Confronting when one looks at this indictment on us all.
