Nederlag til socialdemokraterne i Hamburg (Feb 29 2004 18:11 GMT) - Tysklands socialdemokratiske parti, SPD, ser ud til at have lidt et stort nederlag ved delstatsvalget i Hamburg.Med 32 procents opbakning ser de ud til at tabe 4,5 procentpoint.Det viser de første prognoser på tv-stationen ARD, få minutter efter at valgstederne lukkede klokken 18.00.Styrkeprøve for Schröder Valget i Tysklands næststørste by ses som en styrkeprøve for kansler Gerhard Schröder, hvis upopulære reformpolitik skærer hårdt i den tyske velfærd. |

seeds of it's own distruction. (Feb 29 2004 18:06 GMT) - Tim Bray posts an interesting comment. I was talking today to this really smart guy named Jonathan Leblang who works for A9, and he said “You know, Google’s success may conceal a death warrant.” I said “Huh?” He said “Well, the most useful Web pages used to be the ones that aggregated a bunch of useful links, and so people would point to those and Google would find them. Nowadays, why would anyone go to the work to put a page like that together if you can just rely on Google to find stuff? |

Travel assistance- India [Elena Souto] (Feb 29 2004 18:06 GMT) - I know its really early but im planning a holiday of a lifetime to India this Xmas. Ive started looking as I know Goa gets really booked up at xmas. The prices are extortionate, what I really want to do is spend 3 weeks one week touring the Golden Triangle, Jaipur, Aggra etc and then 2 weeks in Goa in a really nice hotel just chilling. Does anyone know some good independant travel consultants, has anyone been to India that can recommend. All the agents i have looked at are really expensive so ive started looking at the tour operators/guides etc in India direct however it would be nice if someone could give me a recommendation or suggestions on how they did their trip to India. |

'We': an old masterpiece with a post-modern message (Feb 29 2004 18:05 GMT) - Noting my tastes, my friend Stuart recently returned from England and thrust his copy of 'We' into my hand to fill one of the holes in my reading. Yevgeny Zamyatin's short novel, written in the immediate aftermath of Russia's Bolshevik revolution, is the grandfather of all 20th-century science fiction dystopias and remains immensely readable almost 83 years after he penned it. "A dystopia is any society considered to be undesirable, for any of a number of reasons. The term was coined as a converse to a Utopia, and is most usually used to refer to a fictional (often near-future) society where current social trends are taken to nightmarish extremes," the superb Wikipedia informs us. The ordinary narrator of 'We' is D-503, a contented Number in the perfect OneState, whose citizens live and work their mathematically ordered 26th-century existences under the benevolent rule of the 'Benefactor', watched over by the Guardians. |
