James Bond 007 is a reckless daredevil. On skis by a bobsled run, with a Bavarian automobile demolish Hamburg, fly an airplane after - limits of physics seem to be repealed. So far, 24 times the man appointed in Her Majesty's Secret Vodka Martini, 32 times it was prophesied that he should die now (because I had typed in a larger number), 75 times the man gep ... (you know!), And ever, one should take themselves out for him to be placed is not flat. [ source of the figures .]

"Casino Royale", the first James Bond novel by Ian Fleming, has been filmed twice. A version that includes Daniel Craig, the best Bond films ever. The other 1967 was intended as satire, capping five directors, Peter Sellers and Woody Allen left the shooting in the dispute, schedule and budget were substantially out, in the end the film just skidded past a disaster.

Bloggers of the spam nightmare (yes, is' clearly the one with B scheibt now, but that looks just like stupid dolphin or Stop) is also a casino. It changes its name more often than did the cast of secret agent, sometimes it comes as "Casino 1244417571" Thus, then "Casino 1244410320" or as "Casino 1244376282." They all share the thoughtful comments of the text - it is identical to the sender, supplemented by three points.

The address of the referenced site is pretty crazy and anything but reassuring: gogole.com / 12 444, then the rest of the number follows behind the casino. The IP is always the same: 89,248,160,248. For one thing clear: I am usually the IP of the holy commentators, the publication would not be acceptable. But here I make an exception. Eight of these "casinos" had just stepped in my blog today, antispam Bee has picked them unerringly and pushed into the crop, but the blogger must delete them manually. The exact number of casinos that have been attempted to contaminate the Communion Antare controls, estimated at about the 50.

The life that you have wasted for the elimination of such bescheuerter entries could be used much more meaningful as the content is somewhere between preposterous to settle and indolent. With regard to the penetrance, however, the casino weak paradoxes can not be beat.

In this sense ...

The accusation is bustling with activism, or aimless unreflecting action without having a plan in order to avoid the appearance of inaction or excessive demand or to cover up. Activism can also mean that many projects are discussed or begun but not completed. [ source ]

(Compare on activism and " life lessons from the "Predator ", Item 4: Fire in the forest.)

[The picture I have in the way, eight steals. Thank you for this!]

It is, for mice milking. Soon we should perhaps write any more. Each photo should be checked by lawyers before it is set. Blood-sucking parasites with the intelligence of a cuddly Toastbrots write warning letters, and it's all over with the beautiful All kinds of Internet. If someone comes to me now, arguing that child pornography and content are relevant to criminal pretty radical: Of course they are! And they should not be tolerated. But making a start in the right place. Activism means that you have done something without checking the usefulness and sustainability. The risk is there.

After the shootings reflex ban violent games and gotcha required. Tightening of Wafffenrechts are discussed. But the structures of society, school and real life, leading to such events remain on the sidelines.

If pirates hijack ship off Somalia one after another, trying the minister, to extend the competence of the armed forces , in a way that justifies these extensions eventually the deployment of the army in their own country. One does not necessarily secret wishes of Wolfgang S.

And child pornography help a stop sign, says Ursula vdL, the Federal Minister for Family Affairs. (Of course, when I was young, we have the signs on construction sites, more practically prevented from entering them. We were NEVER on construction sites, I swear!) agree on the effectiveness of such measures is different . It is important to the providers of such content to make a fire under his ass. Lichen proof consumers of course. You must be at the root of evil, and there will be no way to stop signs.
Imagine if you search for something using a search engine - and inadvertently end up clueless and on one side of prohibited content. Since you did not go there, and you also want as quickly gone again, but your IP is recorded and stored in this context. And then start the mill to grind ...

Which Hirnrissigkeiten Escapades come to us as an Internet user, you can read here: Save the Internet . And to put it here like to say again: If it were in my power, there would not be child pornography, extremist and other prohibited content. But please, such efforts must not be fought on the backs of all network users. Otherwise we will all soon be illegal.

Berlin is facing a landmark election: So far, there are ethics as a compulsory subject, along with religion as freely selectable range (Chapeaux for it!). An Initiative " Pro Reli "wants to change that, it goes after her, in future to have ethics or religion in the curriculum.
Reigns, hardly has a state once introduced something that makes sense * because it is shaken again. I chew it now does not contradict anything here, but refer to the sources provided with numerous items of eight . There is also a lively discussion has shown in the comment section, where I was not entirely disinterested. But the interest in such a decision, "We are all Berliners are no" is clearly transnational.

But what is really ethical?

The term comes from ancient Greek: "the moral (understanding)", "usual seat, habit, custom, tradition, character, disposition," [source: wiki].
Ethics is the philosophical field. Mainly it's about morality. But no, when a football coach once again emphasizes the team has shown morale, then it must not come at the same time ehtisch properly so. And yet there is a parallel to the football: Ethics takes place on the field: The practical application of philosophy in the form of legal, political, social philosophy - how we act? What are the consequences of our actions? (The theorists of classical philosophy, however, deal with the meta-level is the level behind it, a kind look behind the scenes. Knowledge, logic, metaphysics)

Several years ago I was involved in a study by the University of Hamburg, Department of Health . According to the empirical data collection and analysis of our group was invited to Berlin ("Berlin, Berlin, we're going to Berlin" - no, these parallels!) To the Enquete ** Commission on "Ethics and Law in Modern Medicine" of the German Bundestag our results are to present and answer questions. Why here is mentioned, you might be wondering. Well, as you can see the name of the Commission on, legal and ethical issues are closely related. Ideally, the decision of a law is not possible without consideration of ethical principles. The Parliament as a legislature must, therefore, also with such issues grapple . deal

Ethics is human behavior to the test, examines how traditions, customs and manners of a normative judgment stand, and how the insights gained, practical (ie on the pitch) can be implemented. Reason led to a *** to values ​​and norms established to enable coexistence in a society. What is good and bad? What are the consequences of what I'm doing? Such a thing requires reflection of the action. Thus, it is not surprising that in addition to individual, peace and social ethics and an environmental ethic. (George W. Bush had the jovilalen with a "No way, you are wastin 'my time' dismissed as outrageous nonsense, I would be surprised seriously when the word" ethics "to know at all would - I just remind you of waterboarding , Guantanamo and attempting born in the national parks of Alaska for oil to try.)

Ethics is not a jack of all trades. You can give food for thought, create the basis for further consideration to offer assistance for complex interrelationships, and principles - but the implementation must take place in each specific case. (. The expert also referred to as deductive approach), but in ethics teaching can also be taken of the inductive way: Starting from a specific problem, you can try to derive general performance suggestions. (This holds, however, possible sources of error, but that's another story.)

The better prepared and trained someone is, the better the judgment when it comes to general (ethical) principles to changing and new situations and apply to come to a possible action. In order to respond accordingly, both the judgment and the general ethical background to be trained.

All this is achieved without taking into account the different denominations. Muslims and Jews, Christians and atheists alike can benefit from ethics. So there some kind of jack of all trades, this ethic? At least, rather than religion. Not everything in the Scriptures, must necessarily be traceable via reason and reflection. Finally, in the name of religion can be quite excellent fight wars. Ethically considered, war is less than the last resort. Interest to resolve conflicts in a different way is, in any case, the better, because more rational and less prone to collateral damage path.

But, dear Berliners will decide, but the way you consider it appropriate. Somehow I'm building but to the multicultural melting pot of Berlin. Humanistic thinking, then it will just happen. And to even get back to football: the Hertha has now completed the series of negative and defeated Werder Bremen 2-1. If it is then in the end 2-1 is the ethics ...

I know I'm not a Berliner. (Although I was tempted several times to become one, Hamburg has always scored in the decisive moments.)

Oh, one more thing: Actually, we could close the ethics altogether. Each student receives in return a leaf in the hand on which the Categorical Imperative of Immanuel Kant is written:

"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time that it should become a universal law."

Thanks, that's it, the ethics class is closed. The most important guideline you have now. Good luck in solving complex problems! And now for something completely different: religion. Does anyone have questions?
"Why does God allow war to be?"
"Why is the use of condoms as protection against disease and unwanted pregnancies in the Catholic Church is categorically rejected?"
"If God is love, then why was the Spanish Inquisition?"
"If God is love, then why does he constantly punishes the unbelievers?"
"In the ten commandments is: Thou shalt not kill. Why, there was the forced Christianization in South America? Why the Crusades? "

What do you think? Have we ever get back in religious instruction proper answers to such questions, let alone discussed it seriously?

And finally, almost every religious group has a missionary urge. In the sacred writings, as well as ever they may be called, which is credited and demands. (I have since times long ago in the comments of a forum read: "The Christian missionaries are even sent into the world Everybody wants to be nu times." And further increase ".": "It is like bringing in a new Otto Versand customers and you get the towel. ")
Religions impose universal and absolute claims. The juxtaposition seems so de facto not possible. Ethics is something like the common pillar for an interaction. That does not make confessions. Since it is rather to the expression of parallel societies. Roller has an opened source from which I quote at this point like , because it is better (than last word) can not be formulated:

If society fails to lay a foundation of shared values, a tolerant coexistence is threatened.

* In fact, it does not make any sense at all, that in German "makes little sense." Something has a purpose, or for all I care, it is one, but it makes no sense that something makes sense. Makes sense, right?
Enquête **: It is not difficult to recognize from the French investigation. About Fractional (in simple terms: non-partisan) investigation working group that is trying to develop a consensus for long-term problems and issues, which is acceptable to the largest possible proportion of the population.
Was *** Back when I was young and innocent and full of hope, and charity, was the subject "values ​​and norms". The contents were similar, ethically, morally and philosophically, and so, but the lessons were tagged differently.

My favorite browser ... Firefox is. Currently I am using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.7. Both from a security perspective as well as on the compatibility ago, this browser for Windows users first Choice. At least he should and could be! formed is certainly optimized for the blog with Firefox.

The user can see but the apparently quite different. The IE Explorer 6 leads the list of browsers to clear: Almost half of all users use the Redmonter colleague who is better in principle but with each release, but still has some significant weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Firefox 3 is indeed at least on the 2nd Place, but has a significant distance (about 1/4 of the inclined readers use Firefox. Then follow IE Explorer 7, Firefox 2 and Safari, the Apple browser. 6th place in the IE Explorer occupies 5, followed by Opera. All other Brwoser settle listed as "also rans" to.

The operating system is Windows XP, clear the nose in front, almost three quarters of all computers that come here angetöffelt. The other positions are filled by a large margin Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003, Vista and Mac OS X only then

Visitor numbers could be better, sure, but the daily page views are in the 3-digit range, which for a blog, which has only existed for just over two months is not so terribly bad.

The vast majority of patrols (Spiders) from Google sends the way, followed at some distance from Yahoo!, WordPress, SnapBot, Java and MSN.

What I learn from this? In any case, it is still not spared me, to test the implementation of new code in Internet Explorer, because not to deliver an all-too hideous appearance . As long as no functioning Mac is in this, our halls, I test about 10 meters distance from here, with friends over the Fleet, the display of the network performance at the Safari browser.

For those who do not already know: Firefox is free, open source, with numerous plug-ins to customize and wonderful here as a download available. (Fa lls should be the reason why so many come with Windows angeschippert: Free yourselves, oh your surfers! Nutztet the opportunity and makes your thinking about radically. Will in future use the fire fox!)

And the most favorite item? Here are the Top 6 (behind the star indicates that the surface of the visitors most frequently selected posts in the list of my personal favorites):

• " matter of opinion - the basics of image design and the Golden Section "*
• " Twittered follow - which will have consequences "*
• " Shaped alertness 3 - The objective is clear and close "
• " ... so you do not ... "*
• " High pass - with sharp filters "
• " The depth is in focus - or is the focus deep? - From a selective focus and blur "*

Also be static pages are often selected überproprotional:

• " cloud "- the Flash-animated depiction of the tags and categories
• " Legal Policy "

Art instead of advertising. Information rather than advertising. Let's be honest: everyone has been annoyed by pop-ups and banners. The most beautiful page layouts can be vandalized with such terrible things. Not only do they threaten the continuity of the visit, because they wanted the content to cover, no, they ruin the efforts to package the content nicely.

We all know the drill: advertising tends to exaggerate. Usually measured and unrestrained.

WordPress also advertises for itself. In order to create a corporate identity, it's always good to throw something together in the balance. (That's what I tell my employer for years, but there does not move much.) Something like this can be pithy slogans, such as this from WordPress:

Code is poetry.

Code should be poetry?
