Where the heck are you from?
Anyway, this has nothing to do with the CTO, and that sort of shenanigans is specifically banned by the 2nd amendment. Furthermore, I would hazard that you still want our military to use firearms.

Wow.... Just wow.....
Nyet. You're the one needing some light shone upon your logic. Grammar too while you're at it. Do you think it's ethical to label all Muslims as terrorists? Because that's what your comments imply.
Although I dunno, maybe you're just a troll.

Sigh. First off, the logical refutation of "ALL X equals Y" is to find a single example of X that is not Y. You don't have to check all X.
Secondly, this is the board for suggestions to the CTO so this is off topic and therefore flagged as inappropriate.Dumbasses.

Why free? and what do you mean by totally?
Currently everything is un-cenored, and it damn well better stay that way. This idea implies that after the construction of the porn domain, everything else will not be porn through either censorship or self-regulation. So it's wishful thinking either way. -

what about people who start up a mail server at home? Them too?

If there were "plenty", then none of them would be paid 6 figure salaries. Seriously, is there a great unemployment of geeks out there?
Also remember that a geek at best buy is not a developer in silicon valley. Likewise, sysAdmins are not necessarily developers. What I'm saying is that there's a pecking order for IT jobs.

How? Any method that couldn't easily be circumvented by an 8 year old would, ah yes, Pavitra nailed it, it'd be a horrible infringement of privacy.
Please define "act more responsibly", cause I've got a feeling it means "stop existing". Prohibition leads to all sorts of bad things. Just ask Capone.

Sounds like a typical internet forum. Of course, that's old hat. New and interesting types of internet communications include crazy ideas like submitting ideas and letting everyone vote one them. Maybe they could add comments at the bottom or something.
Snark aside, I think it'd be a good idea for the CTO to encourage officials of all sorts to have their own public boards.

Content neutrality is one part of NN. Being a Common Carrier is another part which has nothing to do with content. Read the wiki page on network neutrality.
But 0% of the internet is "public" like you think. It's all run by someone. Even if it's a public univeristy, you don't have the right to use it. Today, most of it is owned by the major telecom companies: AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Cox, etc.

You do realize that those are companies? The industry is regulated, but the companies that keep tabs on you are not part of the government. To do away with it you'd have to make the whole industry illegal. Something along the lines of: Conveying information about past dealings is illegal. So if you ever told anyone that someone didn't pay you back, you'd get fined.

Yeah, tracking how people spend their money doesn't sound like a real friendly thing to me. Do you want your mother to know everywhere you shop online? The IRS tracks income, so they know where money got spent.
But all that aside, do you really want PayPal to take a cut of your rebate?

Honestly, not a bad idea, but it's got nothing to do with the CTO or technology in general.

Ditto that the top should not mandate the details when it comes to the fluid, chaotic, and ever-changing world of web app dev.

. . . I think the first thing that solid engineering requires is a good channel of communication.
Now what the heck do you want to fix?

In a perfect society, the free market would probably fix all ills, but then again we'd have no need of a government. There is no way anyone will ever convince me that the trust-busting of the lat 1800's was a "bad thing" for America.
And initially, I didn't think we needed legislation for network neutrality. But then Comcast and others started being evil without telling anyone.

On that note: Space Elevators. If you get a single strand of something with more then ~65-130 GPa of tensile strength, you can extend it past geosynchronous orbit and centrifugal force will suspend it mid-air. Carbon nano-tubes have been made with up to 52 GPa, as opposed to the best steel which has 5 GPa.
Powering the climbing vehicle is another issue. Beam energy is one proposed solution.

. . . Just a crazy guess, but I'm thinking he might just delegate some of his work off to others. Like, to a secretary or some such. Now, if he were to decide that he needs more help, perhaps with some sort of new emergent issue, the duties and tasks of said position would be unclear. Hence the public survey.
You're trolling the CTO? really?
While we're at it, we might as well regulate the use of quarks and faster then light travel.
But regulate it HOW? It's a whole field in it's infancy. But you don't want regulation do you? You want to limit, stop, or reverse the progress of nanotechnology. To regulate it into oblivion so there's one less reason to lie awake at night.
The grey goo senario is in effect, it's called life.
