Google unveils protocol for an interplanetary internet
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2009-11/06/google-unveils-protocol-for-an-interplanetary-internet.aspx
The Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocol emerged from work first started in 1998 in partnership with Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The initial goal was to modify the ubiquitous Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to facilitate robust communications between celestial bodies and satellites.
Cerf and his team were eventually forced to acknowledge (ACK?) that TCP simply couldn't cut the mustard, with massive delay and data loss caused by celestial motion rendering TCP useless.
"There was a little problem called the speed of light," joked a typically playful Cerf, as he outlined the idea to the OpenMobileSummit conference in San Francisco. "When Earth and Mars are closest, we're 35 million miles apart, and it's a three and a half minute trip one way, seven minutes for a round trip. Then when we're farthest apart, we're 235 million miles – 20 minutes one way, 40 minutes round trip."
Those pesky planets. But surely Google, having dominated Earth, could do something about that? "The planets rotate, and we haven't figured out how to stop that," Cerf admitted.
The core issue is that TCP assumes a continuous (and fairly reliable) connection. DTN makes no such assumptions, requiring each node to buffer all of its packets until a stable connection can be established. Whereas TCP will repeatedly attempt to send packets until they are successfully acknowledged, DTN will automatically find a destination node with a reliable connection, and then send its payload just once. Given the latency of space communications and the minimal power restrictions placed upon satellites, DTNs approach seems prudent.
However most people don't have a need for regular satellite communication (well, our columnist Warren Ellis has that death ray of his), but Cerf sees his robust protocol having more down-to-Earth applications. Mobile networks, for example, must regularly cope with long periods of delay or loss – a train tunnel rudely interrupting a YouTube stream, for example. Perhaps looking to gain an edge on its competitors, Google has already integrated DTN into Android's networking stack.
Using Android from an asteroid? It's only a matter of time.

When E.T. phones the pope
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/06/AR2009110601899.html?hpid=opinionsbox1
A little more than a half-mile from the Vatican, in a square called Campo de' Fiori, stands a large statue of a brooding monk. Few of the shoppers and tourists wandering through the fruit-and-vegetable market below may know his story; he is Giordano Bruno, a Renaissance philosopher, writer and free-thinker who was burned at the stake by the Inquisition in 1600. Among his many heresies was his belief in a "plurality of worlds" -- in extraterrestrial life, in aliens.
Though it's a bit late for Bruno, he might take satisfaction in knowing that this week the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences is holding its first major conference on astrobiology, the new science that seeks to find life elsewhere in the cosmos and to understand how it began on Earth. Convened on private Vatican grounds in the elegant Casina Pio IV, formerly the pope's villa, the unlikely gathering of prominent scientists and religious leaders shows that some of the most tradition-bound faiths are seriously contemplating the possibility that life exists in myriad forms beyond this planet. Astrobiology has arrived, and religious and social institutions -- even the Vatican -- are taking note.
Father Jose Funes, a Jesuit astronomer, director of the centuries-old Vatican Observatory and a driving force behind the conference, suggested in an interview last year that the possibility of "brother extraterrestrials" poses no problem for Catholic theology. "As a multiplicity of creatures exists on Earth, so there could be other beings, also intelligent, created by God," Funes explained. "This does not conflict with our faith because we cannot put limits on the creative freedom of God."
Yet, as Bruno might attest, the notion of life beyond Earth does not easily coexist with the "truths" that many people hold dear. Just as the Copernican revolution forced us to understand that Earth is not the center of the universe, the logic of astrobiologists points in a similarly unsettling direction: to the likelihood that we are not alone, and perhaps that we are not even the most advanced creatures in the universe. This may not "conflict with our faith," but it may conflict with the stories we tell about who and what we are.

"The real threat would come from the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence, because if there are beings elsewhere in the universe, then Christians, they're in this horrible bind. They believe that God became incarnate in the form of Jesus Christ in order to save humankind, not dolphins or chimpanzees or little green men on other planets."
Erks
http://erks.org/
En Capilla del Monte (Argentina), debajo del cerro Uritorco, según la ciencia hermética -cuando no la leyenda de los comechingones, existe la ciudad intraterrena de Erks, el lugar donde se dará la regeneración de la especie humana. En su interior se encuentra el Templo de la Esfera y los Tres Espejos mediante los cuales se produce un intercambio cósmico de datos con todas las galaxias y desde donde se puede seguir al detalle la vida de cada ser humano que habita este planeta, sobre todo la de aquellos que están en vías de desarrollar un intelecto armonizado con las leyes cósmica.
Es la Ciudad de la Llama Azul y se la llama la ciudad femenina, ya que está constituida principalmente por sacerdotisas. Existen Tres Espejos que son purificadores de energía que van al Cosmos.
Según dice la leyenda metafísica, en el s XII, el Caballero Parsifal llevó el Santo Grial y la Cruz de los Templarios, para dejarlos juntos al Bastón de Mando en las cercanías del Sagrado Cerro Uritorco con el fin de regenerar y trasmutar al hombre hacia el hombre de intelecto superior, para así completar una obra espiritual y metafísica de hermandad entre los hombres.
Se habla de la ciudad de Erks como una ciudad metafísica, pero ¿y los ruidos bajo la tierra del Uritorco? Miles de personas en la zona han escuchado de diferentes maneras, a lo largo de todos estos años, ruidos y movimientos de tierra. ¿Qué explicación tienen esas estruendosas y fuertes explosiones de sonido grave? ¿De dónde vienen los ruidos que se asemejan a martillos neumáticos, como si hubiese una maquinaria fabril funcionando debajo? ¿Cómo entender esos ruidos de engranajes, como si hubieran unas inmensas compuertas que se abren y se cierran? Creo que aún nos queda mucho por saber y conocer de este lugar mágico e inquietante. Lugar que dará que hablar seguramente mas de una vez en momentos venideros.

Goldman Sachs boss says banks do "God's work"
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE5A719520091108
The chief executive of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Bankfein, which has attracted widespread media attention over the size of its staff bonuses, believes banks serve a social purpose and are doing "God's work."[!]
In an interview with London's Sunday Times newspaper, Lloyd Blankfein also said he believed big profits and bonuses at banks were a sign that the world economy was recovering.[!!]
"We help companies to grow by helping them to raise capital. Companies that grow create wealth. This, in turn, allows people to have jobs that create more growth and more wealth. We have a social purpose,"[!!!] he told the paper.
The dominant Wall Street bank posted third-quarter earnings of $3 billion and plans to hand out more than $20 billion in year-end bonuses.[!!!!]

George Bush, Jr. is in Japan this week trying to blackmail and bully the Japanese into handing a big fat check to Obama when he comes to Japan next week. He is blackmailing former Prime Minister Koizumi by threatening to expose Koizumi’s sadistic murder of the Shimbashi Geisha, who went by the name of Kohan, a Geisha in Asakusa and an American prostitute. According to senior Black Dragon Society sources and the Yakuza. Furthermore, Bush has threatened to expose the fact that former Finance Minister Heizo Takenaka got a $500 million bribe (Koizumi got a billion).
We are also hearing that Democratic Party of Japan power-broker, Ichiro Ozawa, had some kind of deadly microchip implanted in his heart when he had an operation in London. If this is true, then Ozawa should publicly announce the fact and anything else he is being blackmailed with.
Despite all these threats, the Japanese are making sure Obama gets no money. Instead, any publicly listed Japanese company, with capital of at least 200 billion yen that is involved in either banking or manufacturing or primary industry, will be given as much money as they need -with no strings attached- from a special BIS fund. The companies will be offered protection if they decide to use the money to manufacture products using hitherto forbidden technology.
The Black Dragon Society also says they would extend an offer of alliance and friendship to Bush’s former North Korean colleagues.

· The Federal Reserve note will fall to 0.03 cents by January.

It can now be stated that all the US dollars connected to legitimate commerce are backed by gold at the rate of 1/28th of a gram per dollar. The remaining Federal Reserve Board debt notes will soon fall in value to 0.03 cents, according to extremely high level financial sources. This means all legitimate businessmen and workers paid in US dollars have nothing to worry about. However, high level con-artists selling financial “derivatives,” will be left with 0.03% of what they thought they owned.
It is amazing to see how many intelligent “well informed” people still do not have a clue about what is going on. If you connect the dots in the corporate propaganda media, you should be able to see for yourself without going to so-called “conspiracy” news sites. Among countries that have publicly said they will no longer use dollars for trade with each other can be found: China, Russia, Japan, South America, the Arab league, Turkey, Iran etc.
The final battle against the George Bush, Sr., Thule Society, Nazis continues to rage and we must remain vigilant until the very end. In Japan, Nazi stooges, like former Prime Ministers Koizumi and Nakasone along with their slave boy Heizo Takenaka, are trying to steal vast amounts of money from the Japanese people to hand over to Obama during his visit scheduled for next week. This will not happen. The Black Dragon Society is ready to go into full battle mode to prevent it.
If Obama is willing to go to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and apologize for US war crimes against Japan, then he will be given some money, but only enough to keep him going until January.

· China is proposing to replace the US dollar with the Hong Kong dollar.
http://benjaminfulford.typepad.com/benjaminfulford/2009/11/07.html
11.07.2009
At a top secret, high-finance, meeting scheduled for this weekend, China will propose that the US dollar be replaced by the Hong Kong dollar, according to a senior MI6 source. The proposal is under serious consideration by the backers of the new financial system.
As we have previously reported, most US dollars ever created are now backed by gold at the rate of 1/28th of a gram per dollar. The fraudulent Federal Reserve Board fiat dollars issued, after September, 2008, are not. Nor are any dollars derived from fraudulent "derivatives." So, to replace the US dollar with the Hong Kong dollar, all that would be required would be to rename the gold-backed dollars. Any new Hong Kong dollars issued would be backed by the Renminbi, according to the Chinese proposal.
It might also be a good idea to rename the Hong Kong dollar the Hong Kong Yen (pronounced Yuan in Chinese). This is not for chauvinistic Asian reasons but simply because the dollar symbol $, is derived from a Satanic image of two snakes fighting while the word Yen means “fountain of life.”

Everything is backwards!
Just look at us!
Everything is backwards!
Everything is upside down!
Doctors destroy health...
Lawyers destroy justice...
Universities destroy knowledge...
Governments destroy freedoms...
Major media destroys information...
And religions destroy spirituality!
