Spot the difference!


Been a while. Wanted to quit. BUT: Sorry - I can not keep this from you:
Nope, not Wikileaks - nothing about attention economic move of Bernadin Ardin to leverage her worldwide "fame" to now support the peace in Palestine by moving there.

While all the world is debating about if the publishing of the latest leaks was legal, while service providers decide to take over judicial roles without valid court orders by blocking flows of donations thus encountering strong grass root opposition storming their online infrastructure and rendering it (partially) inoperational, the main stream medie feeds hungrily on this - and other fundamental topics are disapearing in all that noise.

Interesting, isn't it?

Hello? Did we have an economic / system / banking crisis? Are the European states frantically trying to upkeep the current Eurosystem by signing off astronomic summs to pump up the collaborative recovery floater?
Could someone please do the maths and calculate how many man-years of how many average European citizens would be needed to pay into this? (Romans to Space age?)

Which effects do the individual nations' efforts have on their societies and populations?

Or should we rather talk about the Miracle of Cancun and its implications?

Or how to make peace with the Taliban, after pampering a phoney imposer, so that our troops can finaly go to where they belong?

No.

No logic today. it is too late for that. Just facts.

I love SpiegelOnline.de a German news (and opinion forging) site - which is always good for a show:

Today they thouch 3 big whoppers:

For our friends, who do not follow German politics so closely (ok, I don't either - but sometimes my somnabul info junk triggers deeper consistency check brain areas, so I just can not keep it in)

a) Twice as much water in the Asse - the "secure by definition of government" depot for nuclear waste - which now endangers to corrode the barrels of radioactive waste - and to flow into the normal drinking water cycle. LINK

b) Mr. Mappus - the boss of the Baden Würtemberg decided without his legislative to spend billions in oblications to buy back shares of the former publicly owned engergy provider EnBw. LINK

I do see his point.

He gets at least value for money.

c) Something Deutsche Bank can not claim for the 4 billions they spend on a casino in Las Vegas., where the new casino needs to attract sufficient gamblers to pay the bills. Which might be a bit difficult considering current US economics.

d) Last but not least: The king of pop - a graphic detailing, where in the world the 2.4 (european!) billions of Euros went, that German banks invested around the world.

If you look closely (graphic above= Spiegel Online) at the countries currently debated as being in greatest risk of bancrupcy, you (or at least I) only see "small" bubbles indicating the amount of capital lend. The huge one with more than 300 billion (US) is not even mentioned - guess what: It is the UK!

And that is nearly as huuuuuuge as all the other usual suspects (Spain, Italy, Protugal, AND Greece added up together!

Now, that's a Whopper. But why is it not reported by them in this way?

Spin doctoring fail - a danish twist: 911 - proof of nano thermite!

See, I always told you.
Do NOT believe, what THEY want you to believe.
Question authoritative definitions of reality:
It is not just "as it is" - but as it is defined.

'come on Neo, take that bloddy pill and get things over with!

Not - sorry I am not being serious here, not as serious as the issue bringing me back for a small visit to our dear blog would deserve.

There is scientific proof of non-ignited nano thermite particles in the dust of NY after the 911 incidents:




I just wonder, how long it will take for this to reach mainstream media (if at all).

Yes? Can we?

Interesting side twist:
If this should hold as proof in court, then it will be intersting to see how

a) the company responsible for the security of the towers explains the tons of thermite - or
b) whether the port authority might come up with a "yes, after the first 1993 attac, we had a secret addendum to the lease - enforcing clean demolition in any case of emergency=
c) how the insurances will react: They were made to pay for 2 terror individual incidents (on each world trade tower a couple of billion US$ per tower payable to Mr Silverstein)
d) When will Mr Silverstein, who is also quoted to have said to "pull" i.e. "demolish?" the third building (WTC7) come forward under oath to clarify things?
e) I really would like to learn from O. Bin Laden, how he got all that thermite in there - and why he sarficed his bretheren - as backups?

Life is the process which gives Entropy a new name...

Sort of. Or don't you remember your mother always telling you "go and clean up your room" which nearly automatically triggered the "but mum, ...." defence-line.

Most of the times, I have to admit now, and seeing it with my own boy: Moms have a very high proficiency of Pragmatic Entropy Estimation - as soon as the threshold is reached, the inrefutable fight with the second law of thermodynamics has to begin. They just can not help it. Fulstop.

And very right so. Although my attourney would argue, that I had a very small room with a foldable bed (folding up along the narrow side) - which left not a lot of room to play when it was down. So it would not matter, what was on the floor - it was invisible in the evening - thus inexistant. In the course of years I thus became a master in the art of building my lego worlds with the bed up, so that I would still be able to step, while moving it down. The tricky part was not to get any pieces underneath the metal feet - or they were terminally doomed.

Then after moving out, I practiced and achieved quiet a proficiency of building analogue and digital swap files: Basements of friends with boxes, attics of the family full of suitcases & bags, also garages were nice to store the treasures hunted on long quests for the old and forsaken.

This could have gone on forever, I should have lived merrily since, BUT:

My dear administrator told me today to "go and clean up your home directory" :
"In future you will only be allowed 1 GB, I expect you to do something and reach < 40 GB by 3rd of March, and currently you have 74 GB".

OUTCH! This really does hurt.

It is ok, that I should clean up - since 2 Siemens Lifebook HDs crashed on me in consecutive years, just before final milestones, I - always short in spare time at work - just shuffle the main folders over the fence to the server. And stuff really starts to pile up ;-)

If you are working for a modern TIMES company, I would have expected:

a) a decent central backup facility, and the admin forcing me at gunpoint, not only to encrypt, but also to backup my bloody laptop (thinkpad, that is, no problems at all since I switched from Siemens - and that is nearly 2 years ago now. "Quite good for an Windows system" the mac user says.)

b) sufficient online disk space to backup all my important project and administrative files of my laptop, not just my phone!!!!!

*left fist in the air* Free online terrabytes to the people!!!

I say.

Touche! I WANT One!!

Chapeu, dear Mr. Guy Négre!

To all the guys & girls not wanting to give up driving around, but who are no more willing to pump tremendous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Be patient: In 2 years time there will be a disruptive solution available: There will be cars, which do not run on oil or electricity but on compressed air!

THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!
