zwolf.... >>. For your answer to any post is uniformly the same barrage of low level universal slogans like TRUST etc, which could equally well apply to any subject whatsoever!! Ergo what you are saying is: useless.>> Forgive me again, but it's going to take a lot of "low level universal slogans" to get more people off the dime to "see" how radically the world has changed. It's as if "night is day" and "day is night." Whenever you think of "pyramid" think of turning that pyramid upside down. Whenever you think of the world business, toss it out and think "service." Whenever you think of competition, toss this out, too, and think of universal cooperation, collaboration, etc. Whenever you think of fixed anything, throw that out and think unlimited anything. Whenever you have the urge to label, define, resist the notion/action to apply this to individuals and instead apply them to services and tools which serve individuals. This may sound like psychobabble to some or many. I really don't care. For the REAL thing that attracts me to Novell is the way it's technology can be used to claim, affirm, store, support and service the agency, freedom and power of INDIVIDUALS. We are embracing a really neat proxy cache server technollgy which is suppose to speed up dial-up connections by a factor of 4-5 and DSL connections by a multiple of this. I'm wondering why Novell's technology isn't being used here. Thousands of people are signing up to use this serve from across this country. I've felt Novell's caching technololgy could be applied to INDIVIDUALS operating in communities and that this could be somehow tied to Zeroknowledge.com's approach. Privacy, security, authentication, access, private datastore, etc. But all this "new stuff" is just NOT going to get recognized and appreciated for most of technology today is company-centric. But I firmly believe that technology of the future will be individual-centric. More than this, I firmly believe there are massive, massive investment, social, and individual empowerment opportunities worldwide which lay ahead for the few who have the vision and guts to act along these new paths.
