But what about other future uses that may come along with this firewall like stories about the Government or religion blocked? Only time will tell what will be blocked by the Australian Government but what other stuff can be done instead of this option to block unwanted material from entering the country?

A deal has been worked out between the two so all the RIAA has to do is send a letter to an ISP and they will shut down that account. This tactic is a lot cheaper than filing lawsuits against millions of people and stops them immediately from uploading anymore content.

I do imagine though with the ability to hide or spoof IP addresses it will not be long before someone is kicked off there ISP for not doing anything wrong and than will file a suit and who knows what then but for now this is how the RIAA is going after illegal music uploaders and downloaders.

There were a lot of security fixes since my last upgrade and I am happy no one decided to hack my blog. but one of the main reasons for me not upgrading was all the hassles that came along with it but now the new version 2.7 has a one button push upgrade from the admin panel so no more worries about that any more, thanks goodness.

For instance some major advancements in sleep dentistry have been made like sleep dentistry or taking some pills and falling asleep to awake to a looking better smile. Lasers are now playing a pivotal role in Dental treatments as well from teeth whitening to treating Periodontal disease. And I can imagine one day seeing radio wave, stem cell, and nanotechnology treatments being offered by Dentists to help treat all types of Dental problems.

Of course the best way to take care of your teeth is with a rigorous Dental plan that includes daily flossing brushing and rinsing with mouth wash. As well as staying away from things that hurt your teeth and gums like smoking and chewing tobacco. But remember to still go get your teeth cleaned by a professional at least twice a year you would be surprised what can build up under your gums or on the surface of your teeth.

This allows for better formations of the nanotubes using this type of quartz, instead of on silicon wafers which when nanotubes are grown on those the nanotubes grow in all different directions instead of in a much more straighter pattern like on the crystalline quartz.

So what will happen is the nanotubes will probably be grown on the crystalline quartz then transfered over to a silicon wafer. In my opinion the amount of computing speed this is going to create is massive and may break Moores law when it comes to how fast we advance in computing speeds vs time to get there.

Which like its name hits the enemy with a invisible blast of high intense radio waves that heat your nerve endings under your skin and cause you to get out of the rays path because of the tremendous amount of heat you feel as a result of being in its path.

The one shown on the video is mounted on top of a Humvee but one wonders when a more portable version will be available and when they put one in the sky on a satellite or unmanned vehicles, anyways enough dreaming into the future just go ahead and see what now by checking out the great video segment done on 60 minutes

This video done by 60 minutes shows how a man using nothing but his wives pies pans and a radio was able to create a machine that could heat certain metals injected into the cancer and kill the cancer.

To see just how this amazing machine works go over and check out the great videos on Yahoos 60 minutes website and watch for your self this wonderful machine called the in action.

Thanks to this next inventors idea all that may have changed.

Basically using a cheap piece of plastic material someone can pull it tight under a object and attach it to these energy collectors and because of the flutter created by the object it collects energy enough to run a light a radio recharge a phone or whatever you would need maybe even homes ones day. Click over and see this awesome video of the inventor Shawn Frayne showing you just how his invention called a wind belt it works.

The first post talks about a car named Karma made by a company called Fisker Automotive, that is half electric and half gas powered.

The other car is named Tesla and is a total electric car that can go over 250 miles on a single charge. Both posts are worth reading and I hope to see many more like these because going green is something everyone needs to do in this World in order to save the World.

Right now a few women are busy custom making from scratch a 4 column WordPress theme that we will make public on the wordpress theme directory soon after we publish it here. We noticed while searching for how to create a wordpress there were no videos we could find on how to make a wordpress theme, so we are working on getting a video made while they work on the current design and once we edit it down a little bit we will upload the how to video to You Tube, Google and Yahoo Video services for everyone out there to watch that wants to learn about how to create a wordpress them from scratch.

Thanks for all the girls helping out on this project I look forward to seeing what you all come up with for the final design. We are also making a widget of this blog so everyone can keep track of the posts via there desktops and we are designing a logo which we will then turn into buttons and other cool stuff.

1. Make the site multi lingual

2. Make a mobile version of the site

3. Make an account with all news subscribers so no matter what service you use you can get our information.

4. Start adding photo via Photobucket

5. Start adding videos via Google You Tube and Yahoo video

And for now that is what we hammered out on the first meeting like I said it was brief and there was a lot of hello nice to meet you stuff going on which is great but time consuming.As for topics we plan on covering in the next meeting the working group can find them in your email accounts because I just sent them ;) As for you the reader please let us know if there is a service or something we do not offer that you would like to see on this website.
