''If all the traffic data covered by the proposal did indeed have to be stored, the network of a large Internet provider would, even at today's traffic levels, accumulate a data volume of
20 - 40 000 terabytes. This is the equivalent of roughly four million kilometres' worth of full files, which, in turn, is equivalent to 10 stacks of files each reaching from Earth to the moon.'' read full story / add a comment

bienelle lasts from june 12 till oct 2.
US born Sarah Pierce is 1 of 5 artists representings republic of Ireland.

Since 2003, Sarah Pierce has organised an art practice involving a number of strategies collectively termed The Metropolitan Complex. Central to this practice is an investigation of the local as a discourse articulated through institutions, artists, art schools, and bureaucracies. Here, the so-named ‘complex’ implicates the psychological, social, and often incidental relationships that form a local scene. For Venice, The Metropolitan Complex sites a Pavilion on the grounds of the Scuola di San Pasquale as an experiment in nationality, history and finding one’s place.

The Centre for Sociological Studies is one of those institutes of influence in the democratic systems which we have evolved in the European tradition since mostly embracing peace and putting aside our most ancient animosities to each other.

It does opinion polls.
In any society where the percentage of abstentionist votes is as pivotal to the security of centre parties who rule by little more wit than chasing economic indicators in the globalised free market post thatcher/reagan neo-liberal U$ project,

Opinion Polls Count.
Polling opinion pays.

The best television and newspaper ratings go to light entertainment. Looking at the news, it’s easy to understand why. It’s nicer to feel happy, albeit brain-dead, than depressed and powerless; though the two are not mutually exclusive. Most of us take for granted the whole concept of ‘news’, so much so that the question ‘what is news?’ almost seems ridiculous. Yet, when we reflect honestly on the unaccountable agenda-setting power of news editors over everyday conversations in parks, pubs, the canteen etc., we can only conclude that news has a tremendous influence over the thought of the public, and the question becomes more obvious, as does its variant; ‘who decides what’s news?’ News editors are deciding what we should think is important, and in doing so, defining each of our situations for us, as well as the situation of the World around us. read full story / add a comment

I was watching a news article on RTE 30th May 2005 about drunken street violence in Dublin. It rekindled a question that has always been in my mind, "what about an alternative to alcohol". It is clear that Irish citizens desire some kind of recreational substance, the most socially accebtable being alcohol. read full story / add a comment
