Where does the crises lead?

So, I told myself that I'm not going to write about politics and economical stuff that bothers me, and believe me there is everyday such a thing. And it would not happen if a friend would not have sent me a passage from Karl Marx's The capital book. I know, this book is about Marxism or communism and is hated/loved by many people in the world, but how many of you (including myself) have read it? Yes, thats right! So, have a look at it:

"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism." (Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867)

Tech lock out or human stupidity

There's a story about a girl that bought a notebook with linux pre-installed and that kept her going back to school via online classes. I'm not going to comment this as there are many forums with pros and cons.
But, are we really so stupid that if something changes then we fail to ask somebody to help? In that story there were no technical issues that would stop her school activities. It was like failing some test because I got a pen to use instead of a pencil.

Is this story true or fake? Anyway it points out the problem of marketing based education. Many people don't even think that there could be alternatives that do the same.

:-S

This was the text on a t-shirt yesterday I saw on the net. The sad thing is that google analytics only proves it. Come on people, make me happy and leave me a comment... :)

Global warming

Yesterday I had few beers with friends I haven't met for really long time. One friend's grandma's opinion on global warming:

- Global warming?! Hm, at least we can save on heating!

Lol, but in these cold days (-11C now, 8:00AM) without gas from Russia... who knows :)
