"When we eliminate bad reasons we make room for better ones. Such was the verdict handed down recently by a court held in high esteem for its rank and, even more so, its justice. And so too thought the author of the essay, “Publishing from the Perspective of the Writer, the Publisher, and the Public, Reconsidered,” in the Deutsches Magazin in April, 1791. It seemed to Mr. Reimarus that the illegality of reprinting books had not yet been proven by the arguments advanced so far, and by appearing to defend the practice he hoped to challenge scholars to come up with better ones. For he cannot possibly have meant his position to be taken seriously; he cannot possibly have wanted to see the defense of a practice prevail which fills all right-thinking minds with loathing." - a-ta from Bookmarklet

"Another set of maps now aims to demonstrate a parallel between the dialectics of party politics and the dialects of the national language in Denmark. The map on the left hand side shows the difference in use of the Dansk stød (*), a sort of glottal stop typical for Danish, and used differently by some of its main dialects. The map on the right shows the results of the recent nationwide mayoral elections (17 November 2009)." - a-ta from Bookmarklet

"One possible explanation is that the fading dialect borders actually represent even older cultural patterns. This article in Videnskab.dk proposes that the dialect border coincides with the one between ‘hilly’ and ’sandy’ Jutland, with all the social differences that might imply. Or it could be that two different types of population coexist in Jutland as a result of massive immigration in the 1600s, following huge local mortality due to war and plague." - a-ta

"The tab’s story begins in the Middle Ages, when the only cards were gambling paraphernalia. Starting in the late 14th century, scribes began to leave pieces of leather at the edges of manuscripts for ready reference. But with the introduction of page numbering in the Renaissance, they went out of fashion." - a-ta from Bookmarklet

"The deck itself had its origins in the discovery by Brian Eno that both he and his friend Peter Schmidt tended to keep a set of basic working principles which guided them through the kinds of moments of pressure - either working through a heavy painting session or watching the clock tick while you're running up a big buck studio bill. Both Schmidt and Eno realized that the pressures of time tended to steer them away from the ways of thinking they found most productive when the pressure was off. The Strategies were, then, a way to remind themselves of those habits of thinking - to jog the mind." - a-ta from Bookmarklet

They can be used as a pack (a set of possibilities being continuously reviewed in the mind) or by drawing a single card from the shuffled pack when a dilemma occurs in a working situation. In this case,the card is trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear. - a-ta

When someone says: "If she liked the job so much why isn't she still doing it?" What they mean is: "I don't believe people can, or should, change direction in their lives without self-hatred and regret." - a-ta

The modern internet is often thought of as a miracle of openness – its global reach, its outflanking of censors, its seemingly all-seeing search engines. "Many many users think that when they search on Google they're getting all the web pages," says Anand Rajaraman, co-founder of Kosmix, one of a new generation of post-Google search engine companies. But Rajaraman knows different. "I think it's a very small fraction of the deep web which search engines are bringing to the surface. I don't know, to be honest, what fraction. No one has a really good estimate of how big the deep web is. Five hundred times as big as the surface web is the only estimate I know." - a-ta

"The more people do everything online, the more there's going to be bits of your life that you don't want to be part of your public online persona," says O'Brien. A spokesman for the Police Central e-crime Unit [PCeU] at the Metropolitan Police points out that many internet secrets hide in plain sight: "A lot of internet criminal activity is on online forums that are not hidden, you... more... - a-ta
