Sunday, October 13, 2002Boondocks
The comic strip The Boondocks arrived in my mailbox today as usual :
- Whoa. Some people in other countries are comparing Bush to Adolf Hitler because of his warmongering.
- That's preposterous. Even I would never compare Bush to Hitler... I mean, Hitler was democratically elected, wasn't he?
The comic refers to the German politician who got in trouble because she remarked about one particular political tactic that has been applied by all emperor-wanna-bes througout the time: Making up external enemies in order to remove attention from internal problems.
And yes, Hitler was elected originally, and he then continued to get rid of democracy.

I got me a new deadline
December 16th I'm flying to Vancouver for a looong Christmas holliday with Kari and the rest of her family, including a trip to Las Vegas. < Permalink: Feedback: >
Results of Microsoft trial run of software subscriptions to private individual
Very interesting story about a test program by Microsoft to sell MS Office as a subscription service: Pay a third of the price of the full software package for the use of the package for one year. After the year is over, the software stops working, and you have to pay a new subscription, i.e. this is NOT an upgrade insurance but actual licensing costs for the software package.
Sounds expensive, and the results were very poor. Only about one in a thousand potential users liked the idea enough to jump aboard.
