Terrorlov

Justitsminister Lene Jespersen sendte i begyndelsen af marts det såkaldte terrorlov-forslag til høring hos de berørte myndigheder og organisationer med høringsfrist til den 24. marts 2006. Forslagene er udarbejdet af en arbejdsgruppe, der 25. august 2005 gik i gang med at vurdere terrorberedskabssituationen i Danmark, med anmodning om at være færdig tre måneder senere. Forslagene er bilag 1 til den samlede rapport.

Jeg vil desuden i forbindelse med delforslag 15 om krav om lagring af al(!) internettrafik -

"15. Arbejdsgruppen anbefaler, at § 15 i lov om konkurrence- og forbrugerforhold på telemarkedet ændres, så udbydere af elektroniske kommunikationsnet og -tjenester får pligt til at indrette deres tekniske udstyr på en måde, der gør indgreb i meddelelseshemmeligheden muligt uanset teknologisk fremføringsform. (Kapitel 3, afsnit 4.3.1)."

- henvise til sikkerhedsguru'en Bruce Schneier's glimrende artikel Why Data Mining Won't Stop Terror.

Free Games

Here you'll find free, old school games.

Pleasures

"That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest."

Henry David Thoreau

Banksy

I like the work of english street artist Banksy. He's doing his thing in the streets, as well as on the inner walls of museums. Of his own choice.

Mistakes

"Always make new mistakes."

Esther Dyson

Popurls

Popurls is a really nice site which collects headlines from most of the best news sites out there. The layout is good and the page is allround excellent.

Muhammed-sagen

Uffe Ellemann er gæst hos Gaardbo i P1, og emnet er Muhammed-sagen. Jeg er enig i hans synsvinkel på sagen: Det er ikke et spørgsmål om ytringsfrihed, men et spørgsmål om respekt.

90'erne - hvordan var de?

Henrik Dahl har Mogens Lykketoft i studiet til en samtale om 90'erne i udsendelsen 90'erne - hvordan var de? Georg Metz er med på telefonen. Udsendelsen er et godt tilbageblik på en tid, det kun lige er blevet muligt at begynde at se tilbage på.

Online Newspapers

Here you'll find links to (links to) online newspapers from all around the world.

Knoppix

If you ever wondered what this Linux thing is, Knoppix is what you want. It is a live Linux DVD, meaning you boot from it, and there's no installation involved. When you are done you just reboot, and you're back in Windows. But that dosn't mean it is Linux Light. It (most likely) packs all the applikations you would want. And it is free. You can download the Knoppix DVD here, and the Knoppix CD here, and then burn the file to a DVD/CD as an image.

Hamachi

Okay, this is one of the cooler things I've stumbled across lately. Hamachi is an application which allows you to make virtual LAN's with your friends for gaming, file-sharing etc. Everything you can do over a LAN, you can do with Hamachi. It's extremly easy to setup and very secure. You need to check this out.

Flickr Leech

If you like photos you probably know Flickr. If you like photos you probably should know Flickr Leech - an application that gives you screen after screen filled to the brim with photos from Flickr, choosen by way of things like date and 'interestingness'. Nice.

On the Matematics of the Lottery

I am one of the people who like to compare the chances of winning the lottery to the chances of getting hit by all sorts of things. This article by Mark Dominus makes some pretty good points on the subject that have made me rethink my point of view on the subject.

Hvordan gør man egentlig det der fildeling?

Jeg er ret vild med BitTorrent-systemet. BitTorrent er en ny teknologi på fildelingsområdet, der tager over hvor Napster, Kazaa og lignende systemer faldt af. Du kan finde en god guide hos Piratgruppen, der hedder Kom igang med uTorrent.

The Slip-Up Archive

The Slip-Up Archive is a collection of movie slip-ups. A lot of people enjoy spotting those little, mostly unimportant, mistakes. Now these people have their place on the net, too.

Er Bush dum eller klog?

Det nye P1-magasin Krause på tværs har lavet udsendelsen Er Bush dum eller klog? Den er god. Fra programmets site:

"Danskerne er oftest enige om at tage afstand fra den amerikanske præsident.

George W. Bush er på kollisionskurs med de fleste europæiske idealer og kritiseres for ikke at være intellektuel.

Professor og USA-ekspert Peter Kurrild-Klitgaard forsvarer præsidenten. Han mener, at Bush er at finde blandt de bedst begavede i USA."

ManyBooks

ManyBooks is a pretty impressive collection of free eBooks. You can download the books in a variety of different formats, including PDF and iPod Notes. I think you will be able to find most classics there. As a measure of the size of the collection, the listing of authors starting with the letter S amounts to 420.

Selvrealisering

P1-magasinet Eksistens har lavet udsendelsen Selvrealisering. Udsendelsen ser kritisk på begrebet, og sætter lys på nogle interessante konsekvenser af selvudviklingstankegangen.

Oddcast Text to Speech

Oddcast Text to Speech is a quite impressive application. It is limited to 3 go's, but the limitation is based on a cookie. Thus, to remove the limitation (with Firefox) go to the Tools menu -> Options -> Privacy -> Exceptions, put in vhost.oddcast.com and press Block.

Windows XP Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are really useful and Windows XP has a bunch of them. Learning a shortcut pays off almost instantly with regards to speed. Moreover, it just improves your general relationship with your computer.

Microsoft has a list right here.

Paper Eleven

I have finally found the manga style I have been looking for in Paper Eleven, a clone.manga project. The artwork is perfect for framing and the complete series is free to download! The plot is as follows:

"14-year-old Maya survives a terrible train accident only to find herself in a strange world where people, places, and souls are made of paper. Now, hunted and alone, she has 11 days to find the bodies, reconstruct the accident, and return home."

Thanks a lot to SimonOfDenmark for the tip.

Privatization of the Net

The Big TeleComs are expressing ideas of privatization of the Net. A lot of people would really like it if they didn't. Click the image for more info.

Er Danmark blevet et skamløst samfund?

Agenda på P1 har igen lavet en god udsendelse, denne gang med titlen Er Danmark blevet et skamløst samfund? Fra programmets site:

"Er Danmark blevet et skamløst samfund? Det mener visse sociologer - som for eksempel amerikanske Christopher Lasch. De peger på at skam - selvom de fleste af os forbinder det med noget ubehageligt - også har positive sider. Skam er en måde at forholde sig til Verden på. Skam regulerer samspillet mellem mennesker - ved at sætte grænser for hvad man kan sige om sine medmennesker uden at krænke dem. Derfor kan et samfund uden skam let ende i krænkelser og konflikt."

Bemærk: Programmet kan streames som sædvanligt, men det er kun de sidste fire udsendelser, der ligger i arkivet, og ikke som før hele udsendelsesrækken fra 2001 og frem. Desværre!

The Lie About the Lie Detector

Oh, the number of times you have been told by people on your television that it is possible to cheat a lie detector and thought "Yeah, well - how?!". No more. I give to you The Lie About the Lie Detector - a 220-page all-you-need-to-know PDF on the subject, created by AntiPolygraph.org.

There is nothing like the feeling of "I'm not supposed to know this".
