Reflections on Trusting Trust, by Ken Thompson (for OS-illiterates: “ken” is the father of Unix, among other pretty things).

Domnu’ propitar a lu’ pagina cea mai tare din Univers spune despre pagina ‘mnealui: “This page is about me and why everything I like is great. If you disagree with anything you find on this page, you are wrong.” I cannot but agree, yet I would be logically wrong if I’d say I’m automatically right.

(Thanks, Daniel.)

Now here’s a new meme in the making:

“This morning, along with coffee, I came across this as I read through Bloglines. Just a thought… why buy orgasm ringtones? Wouldn’t it be much more fun making them yourself?”

OK Darla - let’s hear it for the boys ;)

Quoting Darla from a few days ago: “ok ill put it like this… if i get requests on my blog for a tone then ill put one up”

You’ve heard her… now it’s your turn, dear readers.

Deci, drag cititori de bloage vechi, pasinea mea cu siturile cre(s)tine a dat roade inca o data, si am gasit radacina raului: tot ce merge prost e din cauza ca femeile, in loc sa steie la cratitsa si sa toarne ploz, fac sport ! Ia videts articolu “Christian Women and Sports” din care citez, asha, sa va fac pofta:

“sports prepare women to be more like men. Instead of spending all that time preparing our daughters as the Bible directs, we are training them to be like men so they can better compete with men in traditionally masculine roles - i.e., compete with them in the workforce, in politics, in the military, and in sports.”

Eh ? Ce v-am zis ? Stats, ca nu-i tot, mai este:

“A telltale sign of paganism is nudity. Historically, a primary means for introducing nudity into a culture has been through athletic competition which emphasizes form, movement, and the prowess of the body…. Christians should be wary of any educational process or cultural event which justify nakedness on the grounds of athletic freedom….”

Deci:

• nu lasats copila/nevasta sa faca/sa se uite la sport
• politica, armata, politie nu sunt optiuni pentru cariera
• nu o lasats sa se dezbracå

Ion Iliescu, President of Romania

Somebody wake me up !
Imma having a bad case of nightmares

Claudiu Saftoiu, in Jurnalul National, ne descrie România lor. Uita ca e inca si a noastra, ca nesimtitii aia de la Viena au nevoie de timp sa proceseze actele. Ca la multi li se strange inima sa plece, da’ or sa plece.

Council Presidency Adopts Software Patent Agreement Against Council’s Rules
7 March 2005 — The Council Presidency today declared the software agreement of 18 May 2004 to have been adopted, in violation of the procedural rules and in spite of the evident lack of a qualified majority of member states and the requests of several states to reopen negotiations.

Well, I don’t want to be part of a M$ 0wn3d Europe. See the previously posted warning: “Your webshop is patented!”

Sa inteleg ca se pregatesc si altii ? Revista Presei m-a lasat sa cred ca da, Cartarescu pleaca.
Sau nu ?
