Never seriously… It would be to close to hubris? An early indication of loosing touch with reality? Perhaps indicating the onset of psychosis? Maybe ironically, especially after a less-then-perfect performance ;) Better to let others do the

In a stable environment a large greedy specialist often does better then a lean thrifty generalist. In a more dynamic environment a lean thrifty generalist does better then a larger greedy specialist. The problem is our methods of food prod

This was (?) the way the USSR used to handle conscientious objectors: They would send you a letter to go serve in the military, You would go to where you where assigned, You objected because of your conscience, They would then send you to

It reminded me of something Knuth once wrote: "Judge an artist not by the quality of what is hanging on the walls, but by the quality of what's in the wastebasket"

I think everyone should learn to read, write, arithmetic, programming and preferable some mathematics.

In most of Europe it's called "informatics" or "informatica" which at least to me makes a lot more sense: It's the study of information: data, languages, semantics, knowledge, knowledge representation, and intelligence. It has as much to do

That would be a meta-habit… does this also apply to meta-habits?

Personally I think that the physical reality can't be described in a finite Theory of Everything (ToE) for the same reason as that there is no ToE for mathematics? See http://plus.maths.org/issue37/features/omega/index.html

How does that cover in anyway the case where I run my own SMTP/IMAP server for me and my minions, and we are encrypting all email with GNU Privacy Guard using the GPGMail plugin to Apple's Mail.app?

This isn't all that surprising if we don't look at the market share in terms of "number of units" but rather in "amount of US$"? While Apple might be selling less units, each unit she sells represents a much greater US$ value. Therefor from

What is impossible is this: You can't have secure communication which is inherently insecure by design. The "backdoor" (a intentional bug) will have to be part of the communication protocols and therefor present in every data stream which m

Apple's AirPort works fine for me at the moment. I just wish that its support of IPv6 included DHCPv6… What I don't understand is that most ADSL-modems include a router? I usually set it up in bridge-mode, like I did with the ancient Zyxel

The idea of being powerless (unless you're dead) is also an illusion. We tend to have more power then we think, but its seldom the kind of power we think we need or the kind of power we really want. Often we need to learn how to use the pow

No, not everyone does things that makes them famous. To be productive does not require one to either get payed or be famous, one can be quite productive and still not get payed enough and at the same time remain nearly anonymous. Still, peo

(1) Being payed is not equivalent with being productive There is a whole lot of work being done by the so called unemployed which really needs to be done but for which no-one is going to pay them. If anything open source should have proven

To avoid that weird incentives gap the basic income should be unconditional, so without a means test. Regardless if they are unemployed or employed every citizen receives every week or month a mount of money. No questions asked. Any money y

I tend to see capitalism as "father" and socialism as "mother"? You need to earn your fathers respect, but mother gives her unconditional love. Every child needs a little bit of both to grow up happily? One can make do without either one, b

In the end it's this question: Either you think we should have to earn a worthy living and to be treated with respect. Or that we have the innate right to a worthy living and to be treated with respect. What is it going to be: The law
