Take a look at this link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasteading

These dickheads have been flashing powerpoint productions around for the last couple of years. They're very aware of our projects and plagiarizes them heavily. To date, that is all they have ever done, but they're very good at it, having just received a grant to make more powerpoint presentations. The concept they're working on is stupid in the extreme, impractical, and will never work out.

I wouldn't care, except they're very effective at burying and deleting on the web any references to "sea-steading" other than their own stuff. That's very unfair. There's centuries of tradition behind the concept, many people who have lived such lifestyles in a very real, non-theoretical way, and it's insulting in the extreme to self-grandise one's crap and not even leave a footnote for anyone else. But, these fellows are hooked up, working for google and such, and it's impossible for someone like me to compete, as I can't manipulate web ratings at the same time I mill lumber for a catamaran.

Any of you have any interest or ability with the wikipedia stuff? I'd appreciate an effort to make that article much more fair and less of an ad spash for their never go anywhere project.

Thanks,

Jay
