PETITION


It would seem in this age of globalization when what one man does can effect us all, that it would be advisable to test our leaders for probity, sanity, capacity and intelligence.

We the undersigned suggest that those vying for highest offices in government and industry be subject to standard tests as to their rationality, health, morality, intelligence and general capacity to understand and make decisions on those matters with which they deal in their duties as administrators.

 

We propose the following tests:-

1)      Sanity- A blood test has recently been developed in Australia which can classify those undergoing it as to which branch of insanity they belong

2)      Health-a general health checkup of vital organs and general well being

3)      Capacity

     A University entrance exam, any entrance exam for the public service ,a questionnaire on statistics and economic theory ,perhaps an interactive test utilizing  decision making via games theory

     4) Probity

     A check on any criminal records, a Rorshag test, a check on financial dealings and any vested interests of both themselves and their family

We feel that all and even any of these tests would contribute to public safety world wide

 

We also are of the opinion that  such tests applied as mandatory to all CEO’s of large Corporations, and Members of the Board and all concerned in the issue and circulation of money, stocks and bonds  could be advisable

 

All humankind is dependent on the actions of these people and that they can function optimally is perhaps the most essential item in the continual existence of this planet

This petition is important water peaks in 2025

SAVING SOME MONEY COMPUTING

I am presuming you have a PC and want to set up for free and of course you have Windows 1998,2000,XP or Vista

Now a lot of what I am going to say can be found in NetGuide(February this year) and subscribe to Netguide's current edition to be found in supermarkets and News Agent($6.50 approx) will give you immediate access to their copies of most of what I am writing about here

However it was reading this which made me aware that my years of blundering around on the net trying to find freebies had been fairly good if time wasting-The experts were recommending what I had painfully found to be true. I became aware that many like me with no money and living in community housing might be interested in a version of this with my finds (tested and true) put forward. After all everyone gets slogged a lot for computing stuff and even geeks and computer expertise firms are now turning to these freebies instead of buying expensive stuff over the counter.

I am now going to list what you need to run a computer and do most things for free- most people know how to Google and how to click so I will just list their names and functions.

1 Browser.-This is a program like Explorer which gets you onto the net.- Firefox and Opera are both free and better than Explorer for stopping viruses, (things that come from the Internet and make your machine crash and do funny things).. I suggest you get both.

Use Firefox most of the time as this has a whole lot of free addons which you can find easily. I recommend StumbleUpon,Yoono and also NoScript and Adaware.. The last two are security items-Adaware stops you getting spam(advertisements you do not want and popups(windows with advertisements) .No-Script stops you getting any companies which are collecting statistics on you and other information they can use.

Yoono tells you what other things are on line which have the same subject as the web page you are looking at. It runs a band of information across the top of your page and if you click on it it takes you to the stoppage address(URL) that you clicked-It is very good for getting information quickly

Excellent for kids homework.

Stumbleupon provides you with a space if you want to blog (keep a sort of journal) and a way of meeting and discussing the web and many other topics and a series of contacts with the same interests as you if you want to use the information. It has lots of discussion groups

Zone Alarm is a good firewall(sifts your information coming in from the web and warns you if it thinks the web page is dangerous.)

FreeZip and Coffeecup Zip are good for downloading and save you spending on WinZip

Security-I have already mentioned Adaware and No-Zip A firewall like Zone Alarm is good and AVG and Avast are good anti-virus programs For basic security you need a firewall,an addware detector and a anti-virus program. I suggest you use all the programs I have mentioned-making a choice between AVG and Avast for a virus program.

Word Processor OpenOffice gives you everything you would find in Office-bur free and you can save what you have made in Word, Excel and Powerpoint formats so any one with office can download.

Gimpshop and ArtWeaver together give you most of Photoshop free

Audacity is excellent for recording stuff

Safer Email Thunderbird

Picassa is a good program for storing photos..

Storage -gmail gives you two gigs of email space-If you email stuff to yourself you will get lots of storage there is also a free backup program.

The following are good if you want to look for more free programs

http://www.videolan.org/ VLC media player 0.8.6b

http://osswin.sourceforge.net/-list of free programs-look at specs to see if ok for your OS windows 1998 etc
