closer look at the dalai lama and tibet (german)
„Das tibetische Strafrecht leitete sich aus einem Gesetzeswerk Dschingis Khans des frühen 13. Jahrhunderts ab und zeichnete sich durch extreme Grausamkeit aus. Zu den bis weit in das 20. Jahrhundert hinein üblichen Strafmaßnahmen zählten öffentliche Auspeitschung, das Abschneiden von Gliedmaßen, Herausreißen der Zungen, Ausstechen der Augen, das Abziehen der Haut bei lebendigem Leibe und dergleichen. Obgleich der 13. Dalai Lama 1913 das Abhacken von Gliedern unter Verbot gestellt hatte, wurden derlei Strafen noch bis in die 1950er Jahre hinein vorgenommen. Selbst die ansonsten gänzlich unkritische Autorin Indra Majupuria weist in ihrem Buch Tibetan Women auf historische Belege dafür hin, dass im ‚alten Tibet’ eine Frau bei Ehebruch völlig legal von ihrem Ehemann getötet werden konnte.“

"How to prevent war"
"We do not need Assad to tell us the price of war, a price we have been paying since the reestablishment of the Jewish state almost 60 years ago. Nor do we need the endless speculation about a war with Syria that so many seem to expect will occur this coming summer, as if wars are scheduled like vacations or election campaigns."

Verschwörungs-ABC (sorry guys, this one's in German)
"Die RAF war nichts als ein Instrument des deutschen Staates, mit dem die Linke diskreditiert werden sollte. Glaubt Gerhard Wisnewski. Der Dschihad ist eine Erfindung der CIA. Behauptet Mathias Bröckers. Alles Unsinn? Jedenfalls verdienen beide eine Menge Geld mit Verschwörungstheorien zum Tagesgeschehen. Das kannst Du auch! Marc Chmielewski und Johannes Kaufmann verraten Dir im ABC für Verschwörungstheoretiker alles, was Du dafür wissen musst:"

spead freak
For all my friends with a MAC, this could be a usefull application:
Speed Freak, at a user-specified interval, reprioritizes applications so that the frontmost (or active) application gets more processor time than background applications. By default in Mac OS X, all processes have equal priority. By using Speed Freak, you override this default by increasing the priority of whatever application you are currently using, resulting in faster application performance. Speed Freak accomplishes this through the Unix "renice" command.
Speed Freak does not affect graphics card performance and will show little to no increase in 3D games. Although Speed Freak does not affect network performance, the increased CPU priority it offers should increase performance in internet applications. For example, web pages with complicated HTML should render faster but download speed will not change.

The Ultimate Rejection Letter
Herbert A. Millington
Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA 34109
Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful
consideration, I regret to inform you that I am
unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in
receiving an unusually large number of rejection
letters. With such a varied and promising field of
candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and
previous experience in rejecting applicants,
I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of
assistant professor in your department this August.
I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen

The Plan
The Plan
In the beginning was The Plan.
And then came The Assumptions.
And The Assumptions were without form.
And The Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the faces of the workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying "It is a crock of shit, and it stinks."
And the workers went unto their supervisors and said loudly: "It is a bucket of dung, and we cannot live with the smell."
Whereupon the supervisors went to their managers and said: "It is a container of excrement, and it's so strong, that none may abide by it."
The managers went quickly up into the temple and seeking the directors of the company, went unto them, saying in pious voices: "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."
After much feasting and vulgar partying, the directors spoke among themselves, saying to one another: "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
And together the directors went up to the hill looking for the Vice President. They said gravely: "It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."
Seizing upon this information the Vice President, went unto the President, saying: "This new Plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company with very powerful effects."
The President looked upon The Plan and saw that it was good.
And The Plan became Policy.
AND THIS IS HOW SHIT HAPPENS

Read slowly and carefully...
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer , ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

iWhat?!
In the past few years, Apple has moved beyond computers and operating systems to create other digital devices. The iPhone is a marvel, as is the iPod. But what did you expect for a company that's known for impeccable, thoughtful design? Now, what would happen if Apple took on even more projects? It's fun to think about, as the folks at la Repubblica have done. Check out their collection of 19 "impossible objects," as designed by Apple.

A black hole is an object with a gravitational field so powerful that a region of space becomes cut off from the rest of the universe – no matter or radiation, including visible light, that has entered the region can ever escape.

virtual knee surgery
i don't know about "genre-defining", but this "virtual knee surgery" is definitely a funky game for wannabe-doctors or simply for sickos.
i don't find it too addictive but if someone can't get enough of it, there is also a "virtual hip surgery" out there..

book recommendation
henryk broder, master of polemics and by far my most favorite author and critic of society.
unfortunately his most recent book "hurra, wir kapitulieren" is not yet available in english, but here you can enjoy a translated essay excerpt from his book:
Ski Gliding
I'm not sure what you call this - Ski Gliding, Speed-Flying - whatever it is, it's an amazing downhill run of a skier with a camera in front and a parachute in the back - down Mount Eiger.

the idea
Guys - so you probably got an invitation in your email - offering you to start posting on this blog.
The idea is to share whatever media you want - download links, videos, photos, text, stumbles, web links ect... takes only a second
Instead of sending around links in IMs all the time, and then browse through your chat history to find a cool site you just saw couple of days ago - just put it up here, label it and we can all see it.
This can become a message board, a cool library or a gallery of some crazy media..we'll see.
