Hi Stefan

 

If I read that through my RSGB glasses I would say you were well off topic....... hee...... :o)

 

It's like playing on the deck of the Titanic just before the inevitable, the plug will be pulled soon.

 

Humans have embarked upon a consumption journey where there is only one end and that is the exponential depletion of all resources that keep us alive. Enjoy the party while it lasts.

 

The Internet has changed out of all recognition over 15 or so years. In the old days you could put in a few key words and the trawl would show up dozens of learned papers. Now there is money to be made by Universities etc you will not find the information without logging onto a UNI Library and paying hard cash for what used to be free, so all you are left with is hard sell advertising on the net and other unmentionable activities.

 

At least with hobby groups like LF good info can be exchanged free of charge to like minded people. If the advertising pays for that then I am one who will reluctantly accept it as the way of the world now. 

 

But I take your point! Some see it as vandalism others might see the message!

Hi Peter,

Yes, i remember someone said there will be no advertisement of the webpage and now:




Super!

I also read (here) things like we need "a new vehicle". And this is a nice analogy!

A new vehicle. A new car. Many people think they need a new car just because new cars are available. Most of them see the "advantages" of the new world (typical for our society: NEW=better) and the super features, of course no disadvantages. You have to do some advertisement and they the mass automatically does the change. But then, they see that the new car makes QRM on VHF/UHF /m and the new board computer shuts down when you press the PTT. You can't exchange a simple lamp without resetting the board computer and have to make check-ups with a special interface only available in the car repair shop... The modern world!

Sparen sie sich schön!

Some moths ago, someone has sprayed this on a wall on the physical institute here, where the rich people live: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19882028/produce.JPG

Hi,

It's interesting to see how smoothly the migration has taken place,
and, what a surprise, even the hardest 'hardliner(s)' show up on the yahoo list now!

Yes, and the progress is evident:
clicking through the messages there I got known interruptions like that:

"Yahoo! Groups is an advertising supported service. Continue to message"
+ those usual boring propaganda picture.

So someone might switch off the light here. :-)

The "light" has been switched off already when blacksheep
decided to become ordinary sheep, now being under observation of
advertisement-sheepdogs.

Paranoid? Of course, since I'm subscribed to other Yapoo groups since many years.

O.K. back to soldering iron, Field-Day is ahead...
