[monochrom] Boobquakes
Prediger erklärte Erdbeben Der iranische Prediger Kasem Sedighi hatte vergangene Woche erklärt, dass viele Frauen, die sich nicht gemäß islamischem Recht kleiden, junge Menschen auf Abwege führen und zum Anstieg sittenwidriger sexueller Beziehungen führten. Das wiederum löse Erdbeben aus. http://www.orf.at/ticker/366395.html -- Rainer Fuegenstein r...@kaneda.iguw.tuwien.ac.at -- Der Mensch ist die Krone der Schöpfung.

Re: [monochrom] Boobquakes or who was Jesus
Meine erste Reaktion auf diese Meldung war: ich sauf kein Bier mehr, sonst könnte man mich für die biblische Sintflut verantwortlich machen... Aber Spass bei Seite, in der unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft findet man etwas schöneres. Und das ganze nicht von einem Alzheimer-verdächtigtem Prediger, sondern von einer Partei, die Seit den Wahlen 2010 in den nächsten vier Jahren mit insgesamt 47 Mandaten (12,18 %) die drittstärkste Partei (http://www.valasztas.hu/en/parval2010/298/298_0_index.html) im ungarischen Parlament ist... Also, laut Jobbik: Ad 1 - ist Jesus ist ein Ungar Ad 2 - das schiefe Kreuz auf der Stephanskrone diene in Wahrheit als Antenne zum Empfang göttlicher Botschaften Siehe z.B.: http://www.falter.at/web/print/detail.php?id=1134 Unter diesem Blickwinkel scheint mir die FPÖ eine links-liberale Partei zu sein. Einstein hat es zwar nie gesagt, aber alles ist relativ. a.

[monochrom] monochrom @ ROFLcon II / Schedule
Two monochrom appearances at http://roflcon.org/ROFLcon II! The Good, The Bad, and The Awkward Friday, April 30: 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm in Room 26-100 With Mike Bender (Awkward Family Photos), Jonathan Standefer (Lamebook), Helen Killer (Regretsy), Douglas Chernack (Awkward Family Photos), Brad O'Farrell (Play 'em off Keyboard Cat). Johannes Grenzfurthner (monochrom) [Moderator] While we didn't bring Goatse (sorry/you're welcome about that), ROFLCon would be remiss to not spend a moment talking about the awkward on the web. Bringing together some of the folks that have done the most to commentate and celebrate that unique kind of fail on the web in the recent year, this panel examines the role that awkward things play on the web culture. Aaand: monochrom: let's network it out Saturday, May 1: 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm in Room 56-180 monochrom is a worldwide operating collective dealing with technology, art, philosophy, and crap. Chances are high you've seen one of their projects on the net and didn't even know they created it. Among their projects, monochrom has released a leftist retro-gaming project, eaten sausages made from their own blood, invented Massive Multiplayer Thumb-Wrestling, buried people alive, and cracked the hierarchies of the art system with the Thomann Project. Johannes Grenzfurthner will give a brief introduction in the world of monochrom, context hacking and the powerless powers of guerrilla communication. http://roflcon.org/Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2010/04/monochrom-roflcon-ii-schedule.htmmonochrom at 4/27/2010 05:39:00 PM
[monochrom] monochrom's Climate Training Camp @ DORM / Sligo, Ireland
Gear up for the future: with our DIY climate booths! Climate change tends to be seen as the result of failed politics. But the causes lay deeper: certain subjects of an economy act against each other's interests in international as well as in terms of the nation state. It's always the fault of the others who want to eat twice a day, as German chancellorette Angela Merkel rightfully stated. 'Climate machines' like portable heaters for example enabled humanity to adapt to any climate in the 19th century, creating 'climate-independent artificial man' (Friedrich Nietzsche). But the climatic challenges of the 21st century want to be tackled with a new generation of climate machines: adjusting the climate to man's needs is no longer the aim, it has to be the other way around. In a workshop and with lectures the art group monochrom wants to convey the knowledge required to build climate booths enabling you to train your personal adaptability to the extreme weather conditions of the future, today. Success in your job and with your choice of sexual partners is guaranteed! On top of that you have the opportunity to get a whiff of tomorrow's climate in our climate booths 'sand storm' and 'snow storm', and to gain precious experience. There's a lot to endure, let's get started. Next training: The Model, The Mall, Sligo, Ireland Opening: May 1, 2010. Exhibition and tours between May 2 and July 4. http://themodel.ie/exhibitions/dormhttp://themodel.ie/exhibitions/dorm http://www.monochrom.at/climate-training/Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2010/04/monochroms-climate-training-camp-dorm.htmmonochrom at 4/27/2010 05:50:00 PM
[monochrom] The Floppy is Dead
Sony's decision to end 3.5-inch disk production is just another signal that local storage media and platforms cannot be trusted with your precious data. The history of data storage and backup is littered with the corpses of dead formats. Seven years ago I wrote about the beginning of the end of 3.5-inch floppy disks. At the time, it was still a popular portable storage medium, and I was derided as a heretic. Now, Sony has finally decided to stop making 3.5-inch floppy disks, which pretty much marks the end of the format. It's worth noting the demise of any popular format because it has a ripple effect on the technology world. In 2003, when Dell decided to stop putting 3.5-inch floppy drives in its computers, we were already seeing the proliferation and use of USB drives. Back then, they had capacities that, while many times greater than the best floppy disk, were still miles away from where they are now (these days, it's not unusual to carry around a 4-GB USB drive). http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/20100426/tc_zd/250362Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2010/04/floppy-is-dead.htmmonochrom at 4/27/2010 06:07:00 PM
Re: [monochrom] The Floppy is Dead
die Prophezeiung des Endes ist evtl noch sehr verfrüht - Verbatim verkauft in Europa nach wie vor zwischen 1-2Mio Stk (besonders in den alten Soviet-Staaten, vermutlich ein weiterer Hauptabnehmer: Unterzögersdorf). Aber ja: lange wird das Medium nichts mehr am Leben erhalten. http://www.pressetext.at/news/100426022/sony-begraebt-3-5-zoll-floppy-disk/ _ Michael Horak m.ho...@gmx.at http://twitter.com/fatmike182 On 27 Apr 2010, at 18:13, das ende der nahrungskette wrote: Sony's decision to end 3.5-inch disk production is just another signal that local storage media and platforms cannot be trusted with your precious data.
