The Australian government was still forcefully sterilising FNP girls into the 70's. See also, Stolen Generation.

I don't disagree with your position on the strengths of written media - I'm after all a major user of the media - but I do think that there is great value in recognising that 37,000 years ago, someone told a story - and here we ar

> The accuracy, scope, density, longevity, and reproducibility of written information has clear advantages over speech-based transmission. 37,000 years of oral tradition versus .. 5,000 years (?) of written? The jury is still out.

Well, that's certainly a considered opinion, however there has been serious scientific and academic attention given to the subject, and the conclusion is that things were a lot more advanced than we modern Euro-Australians are willing

All literature is subject to the bias you seem to think invalidates these peoples' right to determination. "All lost knowledge is invalid, or else it would have persisted" is, essentially, an imperialist perspective. Knowle

Well, I learned it from my FNP relatives, who much prefer it over "Aborigine" or "Indigenous" - as these terms have become very loaded, and there is the desire to indicate that the people who were displaced by European c

Indeed, and of course its all about the media. One could see how Gabarnmung is a very, very old library .. with distinct advantages.

And by way of corollary, if you have a strong and resolute oral tradition that can stand the test of 10's of thousands of years, writing systems seem entirely inefficient.

It does indeed refer to the indigenous people of Australia, and is a general term used by many indigenous people who were displaced by colonisation in Australia, the USA and Canada. Australian Aboriginal People use this term freely - I bel

Anyone paying attention to the FNP saga, have known for a long time that there is more to the tale of their civilisation than we have been willing to admit. The FNP had the worlds largest trading network for tens of thousands of years. The

I live across from an apple orchard, which is full of bird species getting along - or sometimes not. Pheasants, particularly, are really good at alerting us all to what's going on - so many times I've heard that horrendous squawk

You build a version of Starship which produces fuel. You launch a fleet of them to Mars and have them operate for a year or so. Then, you send the human-carrying version. I think the way this is going to work, is when there are 1000 Starsh

The NSA got caught with its hand in the cookie jar, and instead of taking it out, just made a deal with the cookie chef to share crumbs without anyone knowing, coz "national security", etc.

This is awesome. I wonder if the author could be convinced to participate in a similar discourse on the subject of gears, as they relate to audio synthesisers? Pretty much all the modern synths these days have infinitely lubricated gears a

The free world needs to realise that no matter what systems of enormous value to the world we build, others will attempt to usurp that power for their own needs. It happens with all technology. The reason is, all technology can be weaponis

The more and more gets leaked about all this, the more I'm convinced that this is simply a move to set up a policing force - in Space - before the Mars colony really gets rolling. I mean, when Mars gets colonised, what's to stop M

What we are in danger of witnessing, is a priority inversion - when we should just have two measures of 'global panic'. The priority is, of course, to stop a 21st century plague from happening. When/if such an event occurs,

For me, Silver Searcher often fails to find matches in files that 'grep' will, easily. I've not been able to determine why this is, but it happens often enough that I consider SS to be highly unreliable, even if its fast. So
