I would like to pick up on a few points
-
Digital Censorship: Are the Chinese authorities alleged to be blocking use while you have left an area and re allowing it once you return, or blocking use if you leave and you don’t get it back? Do we think the distinction is important?

Micro$oft, I don’t feel I can ever be a fan of the company but they have cleaned their act up and no-longer warrant the distaste I once had. The best option they have to remove carbon dioxide is slow but locking it up in trees is probably the best approach. I feel wary about Microsoft forests but charitable donations to keep out rain forests going and plant new ones sounds like good idea to me.

Politics: the ‘capitalism’, ‘socialism’ topic was touched upon. Religion and politics are two subjects normally avoided but we handled religion pretty well I think so would be happy to open this up if people want. This would be a separate thread and while I would be happy to discuss any ideas we need to show mutual respect. The moderators including myself will shut the thread down and delete it if we don’t play nice.
