  1. Give and Take ... on Best High-Tech Toilet? · · Score: 0


    Thinking over this matter I start to feel uneasy about this dark matter. I came to a simple conclusion:



    The toilet is a place where the biggest part of humanity actually gives something to the world instead of taking all the time. The purity of this act is disturbed by a zealous device that makes the creator a receiver again. And think of the amount of energy and additional water involved!



    I say: no way to those seducers; don't let them take away the rest of our creativity!



    A well meaning friend ...

  2. A process or an idea? on Defining Globalism · · Score: 1, Interesting
    It's just a question of word definition.
    • An evolutionary process, unstoppable
    • An intended change, mostly economic, to a world wide trading zone
    • A philosophic (naive?) idea of uniting all peoples to live in peace

    Promoters and haters just pick the definition that suits them best.

    The political left attacks - not without reason - the economical steps that leave out social and environmental improvements (it's cheaper to manufacture if you don't need to care for your workers or any waste you produce).

    The fanatics of foreign cultures feel the power of culture diffusion and try to stop the unstoppable.

    The promoters either see it idealistically or purely economic.

    But the box is open and the thing is out. If nobody is willing to stop communication, media and travel between countries, there is no way to hold it up. We can only try to establish a minimum of rules to make the process smoother.

  3. Re:It works ...! Are we the flies on the dung? on Attacking Open Source · · Score: 1

    I say, let them write whatever they want to; yes, they are doing this just to provoke feedback/hits.
    Don't feed them!

    The time is really over to defend the principles of Open Source; the advantages are obvious, the support from many major players is serious, the opponents lose attraction (-> Win2000 etc.).

    So why should one negative and obviously wrong comment (on a page meant to be read by interested and usually well informed visitors) be able to harm that movement?

    The adequate response: IGNORE IT and do something useful ...

  4. Re: Confirmation on Russian Cops to Monitor All Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Yes, I can confirm no crypting is allowed. My
    brother is living in Moscow and we can only
    communicate by unencrypted plain e-mail.
    So only steganographic methods are possible ...
