Report: New left-wing terror group emerging

Hmm. The headline mentions a left-wing terror group, but nowhere in the entire report is a single point mentioned that has anything to do with left-wing radicalism. Strange kind of reporting and headline choice - shouldn't the headline be related to the content?

With the Bild newspaper I'm used to that sort of thing, it's quite possible that they're just building up a fear scenario again to boost circulation, but I would have expected somewhat more engagement with the article from the Rheinische Post.

I found the RP Online: Politics and the original article there.

Blair for sole US supremacy

There really is no argument stupid enough that a politician wouldn't bring it up at some point. Hey, unions also disturb social peace because they allow employees to meet with employers on equal footing. That's dangerous and disruptive, so we should definitely abolish unions too. How? Someone already made that argument, except they made a bigger deal out of it and phrased it differently.

Devil's grin

At tagesschau im Internet there's the original article.

The Patriot Act and Its Impact in the USA

Anyone who wants to read what the Patriot Act really means - namely the suspension of constitutional rights of Americans in their own country - can read the linked article. It reminds one suspiciously of certain occurrences from an earlier Germany. Only the clothing is different - maybe.

Here's the original article.

Schemix - A Scheme In The Linux Kernel

Ok. I love Lisp. And I love Scheme as a very elegant, lean Lisp dialect. But a Scheme interpreter integrated in the kernel goes a bit too far even for me

surprised face

Although - that could be a starting point for the OpenSource Lisp machine

I found at Lambda the Ultimate the original article.

Study: Every Second Person Accepts Paid Internet Offerings

And because I bizarrely only know people who all prefer the free (both as in beer and as in speech) web, I'll just keep blogging. For free. And sometimes for nothing either.
