“This is the end. My only friend, the end.” You are more than your virtual identity «Virtual life» is an - often - abused term used to describe the whole of one person online activities. But as media communications let our second/online/offline identities overflowing into real life - and vice-versa - the distinctions between the real and the virtual are becoming, more and more confused. Which is virtual? And where's the real? Beyond all those questions only a fact remains: that our privacy, our profiles, our identities, our relationships, they are all - fake and/or real - entirely exploited for a sole purpose: to be sold as a product. But are those lives really worth to be experienced?
"We're not Luddites," McMusker said. "We're incoherent."
If Facebook is taking over your life, a new website is offering you a way out. The site, Seppukoo.com, offers ritual suicide for Facebook users’ virtual profiles by deactivating your account. And it doesn’t stop there. If you’re willing to end it all, the site will feature a RIP memorial page on its site and sends the page to all your Facebook friends.

Create the mathematical and physical foundations for the technologies that will form a new information ecosystem, the Central Nervous System for the Earth (CeNSE), consisting of a trillion nanoscale sensors and actuators embedded in the environment and connected via an array of networks with computing systems, software and services to exchange their information among analysis engines, storage systems and end users.
"Si les fondations du design web sont constituées de HTML et de CSS, il faut reconnaitre qu’il est de plus en plus difficile de se passer de Javascript et des frameworks comme jQuery. C’est pourquoi je propose aux webdesigners et aux intégrateurs web un lien Javascript chaque jour (ou presque). Mon choix se portera plus particulièrement sur les développements préservant la séparation de la forme et du fond (oui ça veut dire non-intrusif) dans la droite ligne des bonnes pratiques HTML et CSS. Du Javascript, oui mais pas n’importe comment !"

In truth - Mailinator accepts ANY email you fling at it***. In other words - you can setup your OWN personal domains simply by setting your MX record (i.e. through your registrar or DNS server) to point your mail delivery to Mailinator! Simply put - if you own dinkybutt.com, you can simply change that domain's MX record to point to mail.mailinator.com and all email you send to dinkybutt.com (i.e. stinkywinky@dinkybutt.com) will then end up in Mailnator.

- You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
- You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
- There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
- Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
- Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
- "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
- Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
- What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
- Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
- You will forget all this.
Avec le temps et l'expérience, je suis de plus en plus impressionné par ce qui est simple. Que ce soit dans la vie de tous les jours ou dans la pratique d'un budo, la simplicité recèle bien souvent une grande complexité. J'ai profité du passage de Joël Barillet ce week-end, professeur 5° Dan résidant à Tours venu animer un stage dans au dojo, pour discuter de ce thème. Il faut dire que tout le stage était axé là-dessus : comment rendre simple un mouvement.
BTW, Just a small rant... The Notes back end is way better than exchange. We were running 2000 users on One domino server with no issues. We have invested in 10 servers for outlook and over a mil in emc consulting. Personally I’m dumfounded at the decision to switch.
Oui mais Exchange c'est top : en plus des problèmes de performance côté serveur, on a les mêmes côté client avec cette bouse d'Outlook !
Il est souvent difficile, voire impossible, de communiquer avec Apple. Lokan en a fait l'expérience ce week-end lors de la conférence de presse consacrée à la présentation de l'Apple Store de Montpellier
Can you trust Wikipedia? Most of us have stopped asking and simply bookmarked it. That makes sense when you consider the alternatives: you can explore the first dozen or so Google search result ...
SNAKING ALONG, cutting through fields and streets, yards and gardens, the 28-mile-long Berlin Wall stood as a border between East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989. That all changed on Nov. 9, 1989, when an inexact translation, a confused border guard and a natural longing for a better life opened a hole in that wall that would eventually end the Cold War.

Changement des usages.Toward the end of the nineteenth century, as publishers began to employ more durable bookbinding materials, the need for strictly protective wrappings diminished. The sober, utilitarian cover gave way to the dust jacket as advertising vehicle, culminating in the vivid graphics, stylized fonts, and “special effects” such as embossing and metallic inks that today scream from bookstore shelves everywhere.
