"A language is a dialect with an army and navy"
Operating Systems as Politics
"I'm a Centrist, strong social libertarian, fiscal conservative, anti-authoritarian, internationalist, pro-free trade, moderately anti-war, but also sort of an elitist, anti-populist who really does believe that some people are smarter than others, and I value reason above emotion. I prefer a strong constitutional republic to counter the minority-persecuting tendencies of direct democracy. I never have anybody to vote for! "

Study Says World's Stocks Controlled by Select Few | Research - ISNS
"A pair of physicists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich did a physics-based analysis of the world economy as it looked in early 2007. Stefano Battiston and James Glattfelder extracted the information from the tangled yarn that links 24,877 stocks and 106,141 shareholding entities in 48 countries, revealing what they called the "backbone" of each country's financial market. These backbones represented the owners of 80 percent of a country's market capital, yet consisted of remarkably few shareholders. [..] The results will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Physical Review E."

Obama Finally Appoints IP Czar... Puts It In The Wrong Department | Techdirt
"Why Office of Management & Budget? No good reason. The position doesn't fit there at all... but putting it there keeps it away from those darn "copyleftists" in Office of Science and Technology Policy. So where did the position end up? Yup... it's a part of Office of Management & Budget, just like Hollywood wanted."

Grci su ološ kao i svi drugi
"Grčka je jedna od najlepših zemalja koju sam video, ali, na žalost, okupirana Grcima. Još imaju taj glupi kompleks superiornosti, sa svojim moćnim antičkim precima i svojom 2000 godina starom civilizacijom. Kad se sve to pomeša sa realnim nedostatkom edukacije dobijamo nepodnošljiv i umarajuć narod."

"Carta del Carnaro je, primjerice, predviđala ravnopravnost spolova, toleranciju religije i ateizma, temeljit sistem socijalne i zdravstvene zaštite, staračku skrb, te udruživanje građana u deset interesnih staleža - uz koje je u budućem parlamentu trebao biti zastupljen i jedanaesti, mistični, okupljen oko “nepoznatog genija”, za kojeg je na tadašnjem Danteovu trgu (danas Trg Republike Hrvatske) gorjela vječna vatra."

Debunking Apple vs. Psystar Myths
"Unless Psystar employees are walking into Apple office buildings or Apple Stores to actually take Apple-owned items without permission, Psystar isn't stealing. The truth is, of course, that Psystar is buying fully legal copies of Mac OS X from Apple retailers or even directly from Apple itself, and reselling those copies. I've lost count how many times I've resold legally purchased copies of software. Heck, I even resold legally purchased retail copies of Mac OS X several times. If that's considered stealing, then I - and a lot of you, too - belong in jail. "

PySide – Python for Qt
"Although based on a different technology than the existing GPL-licensed PyQt bindings, PySide will initially be 100% API-compatible with them. In addition to the PyQt-compatible API, a more Pythonic API will be provided in the future. While the PySide project has been initiated and the first set of code provided by Nokia, PySide will be run as a true open source project. Nokia will provide multiple developers working on the project, but contributions will be encouraged and the contributors need not transfer their copyright or accept a code reuse license; merely providing code under the LGPLv2.1 license will be sufficient."

How the Swedish Pirate Party Platform Backfires on Free Software
"Once the Swedish Pirate Party had announced its platform, free software developers noticed this effect and began proposing a special rule for free software: to make copyright last longer for free software, so that it can continue to be copylefted. This explicit exception for free software would counterbalance the effective exception for proprietary software. Even ten years ought to be enough, I think. However, the proposal met with resistance from the Pirate Party's leaders, who objected to the idea of a longer copyright for a special case."

Federal IT Dashboard | FAQ - For Public
"The IT Dashboard provides the public with an online window into the details of Federal information technology investments and provides users with the ability to track the progress of investments over time.

The performance data used to track the 800 major IT investments is based on milestone information displayed in agency reports to OMB called "Exhibit 300s." Agency CIOs are responsible for evaluating and updating select data on a monthly basis, which is accomplished through interfaces provided on the website. "

What is p-kassan? | Planka.nu
"P-kassan is based on solidarity. As a member you help other free riders out by getting their fines paid. When you yourself get caught it’s other free riders that pay your fine. P-kassan is a way, so that if you can’t afford the high ticket prices, you will still be able to use the collective means of transportation through out Stockholm."

Corruption in Croatia - WSJ.com
"Instead of continuing to send cash, it might be a better idea for the EU to send judges and prosecutors who can assist in strengthening the rule of law and an independent judiciary. The EU may also consider setting up an independent body to investigate allegations of corruption and look into how some politicians have come to their unexplained fortunes."

Nalaz psihijatara u Vrapču: Ubojica Ivane Hodaka ne boji se kazne, nego novinara - Jutarnji.hr
"Šlogar je, zaključili su, narcisoidan, egocentričan, rigidan, manipulativan, nepovjerljiv, sklon kontroli i pedanteriji, s teškoćama u socijalnom funkcioniranju. Usmjeren je na sebe, ima osjećaj veličine, a nedostaje mu bliskosti, suosjećanja, kritičan je prema drugima. Osoba poput njega je ranjiva samopoštovanja, osjetljiva na kritike. Na kritiku reagira prijezirom ili bijesom. Obezvređuje one koji ga razočaraju ili one nad kojima se osjeća superiorno. Stalno je težio uspješnosti i uvažavanju okoline, i to je privremeno uspio ostvariti druženjem sa “značajnim“ ličnostima, korisnicima terena na Mladosti, odvjetnicima i liječnicima."h

tehdely: On Amazon Failure, Meta-Trolls, and Bantown
"It's obvious Amazon has some sort of automatic mechanism that marks a book as "adult" after too many people have complained about it. It's also obvious that there aren't too many people using this feature, as indicated by the easy availability (and search ranking) of pornography and sex toys and other seemingly "objectionable" materials, otherwise almost all of those items would have been flagged by this point. So somebody is going around and very deliberately flagging only LGBT(QQI)/feminist/survivor content on Amazon until it is unranked and becomes much more difficult to find. To the outside world, this looks like deliberate censorship on the part of Amazon, since Amazon operates the web application in question. To me, this looks like one of two things: 1. Some "Family"-type organization astroturfing Amazon in an attempt to rid the world of EVIL PRO-HOMOSEXUAL FILTH!! 2. Bantown"
