if your os x terminal is typing tilde () instead of forward delete (like mine was), put the following line into /.inputrc:

"\e[3~": delete-char

You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung
Every time I see you grin
I’m such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon...

sometimes reality has the last laugh.

"This book promotes the theory of continental drift, the gradual movement of the land masses. Because nobody observed this process, this material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered." disclaimer stickers for science textbooks (via knokblog).

there is no love, there are no brothers?

"it’s perhaps a bit surprising that it was a Republican administration that forced this expansion of state powers. Not that the GOP was ever seen as a particular champion of civil liberties, but strengthening the federal state, or for that matter any central state power, runs counter to a key conservative paradigm, namely that of the minimal state/small government. In fact, 'Leviathan' and 'Leviathan state' have long been pejorative buzzwords used by the Right. In their terminology they are equivalent to 'big government' or 'welfare state' (by some libertarians also called the 'welfare-warfare state')." – richard brem: american leviathan.

nice to see that the simple frame concept which was developed by christine zmölnig and me in 1998 and since then has proved itself at the beautiful hedy lamarr website is still state of the art (though, technically revised and even more though, today i would strictly avoid frames).

and obviously, the tense master mind behind both sites remains self-absorbed with well-written texts on another everlasting topic from that time: peter f. drucker.

touché, d'accord.

"why would anyone wonder that the discussions at oesterreich.orf.at are like a cloaca? it's the biggest online discussion platform in austria and this country totally is a cloaca."

"i really appreciate the idea of including the discussions at oesterreich.orf.at in antisemitism research in austria. finally, someone cares to examine the antisemitism this country never has overcome. it is through and through antisemitic."

(overheard lunch talk, from table to table.)

for the record: current top reasons why i should stop worrying about antville and love remaining in time-out mode.

  1. a depressed core team.
  2. too little contributions.
  3. too little developers.
  4. no prospect on medium-term progress.
  5. too many attractive alternative projects.
  6. "the twoday system".
  7. the trolls (or: wolves).

three more reasons and i will quit.

finally, i found some confirming information that devedge.netscape.com definitely has gone down the shit shoot. the javascript 1.5 reference is the best so far available on the net.
