Since music and computers are so much connected for a long time now I expected more posters to do the same. I'm a casual DJ for money and having a really good time. On the other hand it takes so much time that only the money remains as a means to decide which is my job and which is my side-job.
-politicans don't need to make interesting discussions about politics, they have the power, they want us out of the way and not to care about what we say
-the Digital Age and the progress is one of their buzzword-illusions to keep you busy with things they don't fear (like football)
When you think that politics are just that silly talk and superflous elections that you see in TV, then they are pleased. Politics is deciding! How do you decide about wages or weapons production?
-as long as they are not after you (like after the deCSS-hackers), you don't do anything that can harm them
+elections have nothing to do with control over your life and how the society treats you and others
+free (GPL-)software shows an alternative: how to work and publish
-as long as people have to sell themselves to make a living and are divided into different nations and as long as US-citicens do not question the role of the USA(-society-model) in the slaughtership and dictatorship in many countries (read Noam Chmomsky's "5th freedom" for that), so long the power of the politicians is not questioned
+maybe not voing at all can help changing something, if 95% of the population was joining that, but that does not give them control over themselves.
Guys tend to have few social skills, like giving feedback, discussing in a fair manner, self-reflecting. They don't care about themselves, their rooms, others.
That's not the case with everybody of course but it's a tendency. Being like this is "cool" or common for men but ugly and a shame for women. They are supposed to care about others in our kind of society and are urged to concentrate on social skills, not the quality of code. I guess they feel like aliens in geeks' homes.
And the difference between lawyers and IT guys is: Lawyers have to look like trustworthy, serious representants of their clients. they have to care about their outward appearance and offices more than IT guys.
1. samples of our language that help the readers to understand it quickly 2. hello world:-) and why we did this 5. philosophy (what we think of atom bombs and feudalism and many of the original wirtings) 4. scientific knowledge (how to build atom bombs and the like) 3. history (what our civilization looks like and what we have found out about the past) 6. manymany comments of all the people who liked to write some (without filtering them:-) 7. culture: show them what we've got, what we like! How we express and celebrate, fine lyrics, drawings, theatre and everything that is not too boring on a "static, nano-carved" disc
I consider the personal comments the most important cause I disklike the standard view of our society (modern, good, sensible, fair) and want to tell my view.

I guess this kind of joke is why women don't want to go into IT business

I suggest using a free audio compression format, we can't force the music industry to use it, but that's what they thought about mp3 not long ago.
and maybe the licence can forbid the industry to encrypt it or make propritary additions to it.
take a look at http://www.vorbis.com and tell me what you think of it.
