The title was taken from Doug Burns post “Why you can’t just say ‘Stop feeding the troll’ …”. I don’t say I am a “good man”, but in this case I totally agree with Doug. Speak out. Speak out loud, and because Doug has his comment feature turn off and Jonathan probably will delete my comment, I write it down here.

I had a small deja-vu regarding Doug’s post, because when Doug and I had a small conversation on a bench in Dallas. One of the topics was web etiquette and one of my fears (just started this website), being sued by people with more money then me, while I only wrote down how I feld or what I thought was a correct (technical) argument.

If I am wrong, I am wrong. I will re-write my post or withdraw it, but first someone has to give me the correct arguments and test case to proof my fault. Lawyers are not in this category.

Yep, it is holiday time, at least for me, and while I am trying to get my laptop to work with my WPA wireless (linux wise), I am just browsing the internet… The is a lot of funny stuf out there. So here some of my better sightings today, maybe good for a small laugh…

For instance, here is a great informational scene from Chris Rock about “How not to get your ass kicked by the police”.

Something I noticed in the initial versions of Firefox, when it was still one of the default installed links, is the Internet Archive. Besides the “WaybackMachine” which can show some of the old versions of your website you had once installed, for instance Doug’s website, or what to think of all the old versions that show up when checking Dizwell’s / Howards site

It also has a very interesting movie archive…
