cultura la noi

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

Găsesc azi, în ziarul Adevărul, online, “Soacră-mea e o scorpie”, se plânge Jennifer Lopez, la capitolul “CULTURA”.
Poate’aşa o s’ajungă la adevăr, prin Google, şi românii de prin cele străinătăţuri. Iar pt. cei d’acas’, drept: secetă mare.
Afli reţeta: zici, “cunoscuta actriţă, de teatru şi de film..”, expresia “pe alocuri..” să se prindă burghezucu’ că’i limbaj înalt, […]

publicly funded copyright

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

If the public of a country funds some research or educational activity which results in an article, book or report, that should be accessible unconditionally to that public.
In other words, the results of any kind of activity that is at least partially funded from public money, should be accessible to the public, right? There’s no […]

on limited wealth or property

Friday, July 29th, 2005

I was defining, a few days ago, the principle of limited property.
Today, I used Google and Yahoo to locate “the principle of limited property”, or “put limits to wealth”, or “imposing limits to wealth”, curious enough, only my blog entry was shown, or no finding at all.
However, playing with alternative formulations of it, I […]

Meaning of scientific documents

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

I will be enumerating here a couple of pressing issues, related to semantic authoring and preservation, in the context of digital creation, administration and usage of scientific documents; accordingly, some present and future solutions to these are sketched out.
Status of authoring
Although some standards related to the structuring of documents have emerged: DocBook for structuring […]

paid online advertisement

Monday, July 25th, 2005

Paid online advertisement on sites belonging to other than the producers, advertisements listing engines, or the local administration, is a category of spam and should be outlawed. In terms of today only Froogle-like sites or passive/administrative listings of services/products offered by the entrepreneurs should be legal to exist.
That is because:
1. it’s consuming the involuntary reader’s […]

piaţă şi preţuri

Sunday, July 24th, 2005

Argumentul că preţurile în Romania trebuie să se alinie cu cele din Uniunea Europeană e fals. Sigur că doar cei ce vând (sau cei ce’i ajută să) sunt interesaţi să spună asta: dacă pot convinge profitul lor creşte.
E fals pt. că singura bază raţională de discuţie e salariul mediu pe economie, sau, poate, o cifră […]

the end of all the evils ;)

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

Here it is:
in countries were most people live on wages (that is all the countries I heard of), there is a natural limit for the total wealth an individual can have: a lifetime of average wages.
I would call this the principle of limited property, and it should belong to your (and my) country’s constitution, nothing […]

la treabă, online

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

… de discutat despre unde mergem, ce are rost, ce n’are, ce lipseşte şi ce nu, ce’avem de făcut, pe româneşte.

step 0

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

…concerned about my life and my (generic) neighbor’s life.
This blog is build around the idea that a human individual can’t be defined outside the society, and the society can’t be understood in terms essentially neglecting the individual.
