@dumbnetworks & @seanwalsh1111 : yeah a gr8 place to checkout free, open source progress is to read about "Laurance LESSIG" he's a hi-level-ANTI-COPYRIGHT & he's fought for free-info (anti-copyright) at the Supreme Court (went up against WALT DIzzYnee. Also CHECKOUT the "E.F.F". (heavy hitters from Silicon Valley who fight FOR internet FREEDOMS & anti-copyright issues;-)

REMEMBER:: SOPA & PIPA will just come up AGAIN in new names---go look-up "ACTA" it's the latest bad news! rob

@sharpezor, ok everything I've ever seen on nano tech is so awesome that, IMHO , the elite would surly keep it to themselves ,until such time as it would be irrelevant to them if we knew about it or not. So it's my thought, that there are even more advanced tech that likely developed that put nano to shame. That's all, and it's just a feeling of mine.

@fullmetal515 explain.

[fullmetal515]

Nano tech must be completely obsolete to the powers that be, or we would not be hearing anything about it.

@seanwalsh1111 "I suspect most of our solutions are being kept for & by the elite" I agree, that is why I am against any form of copyright although I am work in a field that brings me income from it. I think all form of copyright, patents will be obsolete by the power of internet, or at least I hope so. all music, movies, books, down to inventions are human kind's assets and not one corporation's. SOPA was the start of the war in that direction. We live an important moment in history, I think.

@dumbnetworks I've always liked that line from the Termnator movies: "The future is not set. There is no fate but what we decide for ourselves". It's all too easy to imagine an ominous future, it's not so easy to come up with solutions to avoid these kinds of possibilities. Personally, I suspect most of our solutions are being kept for & by the elite & the military industrial complex. Aside from that there is a lot to be learned from history & our ancestors who have at least gotten us this far.
