"Sustainable development has been defined as balancing the fulfillment of human needs with the protection of the natural environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but in the indefinite future. The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."" - A.T. from Bookmarklet

"*the publishing company* in this case is "The Huygens Institute" http://www.huygensinstituut.knaw.nl/__eng... "The Huygens Institute is a research institute within the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen; KNAW). It is named after the Dutch poet Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687) and his son, the scientist Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695), alluding to the fact that we carry out research into both the history of literature and the history of science. The Institute was founded in 1992 and is based in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (Royal Library) in The Hague." ... nice smart Dutch guys... ;)" - A.T.

"So what actually happened? As of this morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that we lost 190,000 non-farm jobs, and that the unemployment rate has risen to 10.2%.

The Sustainable Sites Initiative: Guidelines and Performance Benchmarks 2009 is the product of more than four years of work by a diverse group of experts in soils, hydrology, vegetation, materials and human health and well-being. It is expanded and updated from the Guidelines and Performance Benchmarks –Draft 2008, which was released in November 2008. The Initiative developed criteria for sustainable land practices that will enable built landscapes to support natural ecological functions by protecting existing ecosystems and regenerating ecological capacity where it has been lost. This report focuses on measuring and rewarding a project that protects, restores and regenerates ecosystem services – benefits provided by natural ecosystems such as cleaning air and water, climate regulation and human health benefits. - A.T.

"The advance of ebooks will no doubt bring much good. As often with technological change, we probably can't even predict what wonderful new things will emerge! But we can see some serious dangers ahead, and try to deal with them. I see three major areas of concern: to libraries, to physical bookstores and to the freedom to read in unfree countries. This post explores the first of these—the danger to libraries. There are, of course, arguments to be made about the viability of physical libraries in a digital age—that while libraries aren't just buildings, the building still define much of what they do. That is not my point here." - A.T. from Bookmarklet

"well, hard-core techie is such an extreme thing in general (i.e. abstracted out of gender/sex concept)... I work in team which has next to 100% kernel engineers/hackers and all of them do that on *razor blade thin* hardware, i.e. product should be desktop but fit in pocket, and yes, their kernel should work for that little piece... I must say that we have that kind of atmosphere "wanna run with big dogz? learn to pee on big trees" and many boys had left team... girls never applied for job - I asked line manager, he said NONE ever. We have certain share of them but not in kernel/core team..." - A.T.

"Harald Welte has issued a scathing opinion of Android on his blog. He bases it on Matt Porter's presentation at the Embedded Linux Conference Europe, called "Android Mythbusters" [PDF]. Porter outlined what he learned while porting Android to PowerPC and MIPS architectures. Welte characterizes Android as Google having "thrown 5-10 years of Linux userspace evolution into the trashcan and re-implemented it partially for no reason. [...] Executive summary: Android is a screwed, hard-coded, non-portable abomination." " -- I do _not_ necessarily share all Harald's opinions but thought it might make sense to read them anyway - A.T. from Bookmarklet
