I am back and I just written a new resolution called The Global Library 2.0.

There will be one building known as The Global Library Center place in whatever nation the UN see fit. There will also be one Library for each nation. The Global Library Center will be where all information will be put into the system and this will be where the system will be held.

In order to get information to the system there will be a newly invented technology known as Stationary Display Touch Screens a.k.a. SDTS's. These screens are specifically made for the library. You will be able to send information to your computer and be able to scan or print documents at these stations. You will also be able to unhook the screens from there slots to hold them in your hand for better surfing. If someone decides to steal the screen, which means cutting the chain the SDTS’s will immediately, activate a GPS device to locate the SDTS. The SDTS's will also have adult locks on them. So there is adult pictures or adult content the adult must put in his or her code*. These SDTS's will be put throughout the cities, villages, and towns. For great access to the system.
*The code will be talked about later in this resolution.

This will be paid for by all nations. For the third world countries, small payments will be accepted. This is the only way to pay for the program. We will pick one newspaper from each city that has a population of 800,000 or more into the system randomly. Which means if that are one more newspapers per city, we will randomly pick one?
There will be a committee instated to oversee that all factual information that is put into the computer has a reasonable view and discuss problems with an author of any publish work.

All books will be put into the system a year after they are published. If the author wishes to take his or her book out of the system, the books will be taken out and will be put back in at date to be decided between the Global Library Committee and the author.
There will be a code give to all adults given every person. They will be given out from the Global Library Center when the library starts up. If you lose it, you will be able to get it from your local bank or grocery store. The reason for codes is so that children cannot access adult pictures or adult content.

This Resolution will hopefully help people that do not have access to knowledge and for people that want to
learn more.


I hope you like. If you don't like please say why. For the writters of the repeal please reply to what you think.

Hell, Vastiva will donate all copies of her newspapers and newsfiles and everything else into the system.

The "adult code" has to be voluntary by the nation, as we have no such standards and know many other nations which do not.

DNA codes work just as well, can't be lost, and can be read by the machine with a simple sample.

Again, seeing as you weren't active in the repeal process, seeing as we've already got a new resolution mapped out, and seeing as it covers a much wider scope than what you've got written here in a much more professional manner, I see no reason to support you or even assist you in drafting this.

The nations involved in the repeal have put a tremendous amount of work into both getting the repeal ready and making sure that an efficient and pragmatic resolution will be introduced, and I, for one, will work to block this in every way possible if you bother to introduce it.

and I, for one, will work to block this in every way possible if you bother to introduce it.

Without breaking UN law to do so, of course...

Great Agnostica, check out the "New Global Library" thread and let us know what you think.

(quietly weeps in a corner)

Stop inventing by resolution! It can't be that hard to take technology which most nations actually have and create something nice based on that. Why do you have to make the same mistake twice?

WHY?

Why does this need a physical building? Why not put the effort into increasing internet access and try and get material onto the web? It's cheaper, more accessible, and you won't run into problems if more than one person wants to see smething at once.

Just so everyone knows, please post these ideas in "The New Global Library" thread if you haven't yet. Much thanks!

I am back and I just written a new resolution called The Global Library 2.0.


What is your government's recommendation on the current repeal?

I won't.

Pojonia put a tremendous amount of work into getting us to this point, but so did Agnostica.

I acknowledge Agnostica for the visionary he is, and ask him to help in the efforts to draft a consensus proposal.

that said, I don't think I can resist fisking this proposal any longer.

What is your government's recommendation on the current repeal?
That's the foremost question in my mind, too.

I joked about the bad grammar in the original resolution, but this one doesn't even meet that standard.

There's no need for this - let nations and races choose the interface appropriate and affordable for them!


If someone decides to steal the screen, which means cutting the chain the SDTS’s will immediately, activate a GPS device to locate the SDTS.
If you assume people are going to act like criminals, you make it much more likely they will act as criminals.

So what, the information should be free, but the means of viewing it should be under armed guard?

My CT nation has internet. We intend to make our branch accessible over it. I see no need for expensive SDTS's with expensive security systems.


The SDTS's will also have adult locks on them... There will be a code give to all adults given every person.
The adult code is both insulting, unnecessary, and insufficient.
The three things the adult code is are insulting, unnecessary, insufficient, and open to abuse.
OK, the four things wrong with the adult code are that it's insulting, unnecessary, insufficient, open to abuse, and couter-produ...
Look, can I come back in?

Why should Earth III get a discount?
What will this resolution actually cost?
What are the cost drivers?


We will pick one newspaper from each city that has a population of 800,000 or more into the system randomly. Which means if that are one more newspapers per city, we will randomly pick one?
Oh, I get it. You were stoned when you wrote this, right?
Party on!


There will be a committee instated to oversee that all factual information that is put into the computer has a reasonable view and discuss problems with an author of any publish work.

Censorship = Death!

I did not work so hard on the repeal to get a replacement that censored politically incorrect views.


All books will be put into the system a year after they are published. If the author wishes to take his or her book out of the system, the books will be taken out and will be put back in at date to be decided between the Global Library Committee and the author.

The first sentence is the only necessary one.
Authors do not and should not have the right to prohibit their book from being in a library.


This Resolution will hopefully help people that do not have access to knowledge and for people that want to learn more.

I'm glad to find one clause with which I take no exception.


I hope you like. If you don't like please say why. For the writters of the repeal please reply to what you think.
Careful what you wish for.
