Watch your mouth! The next time you use so many four-letter-words in a single posting, I'll recommend seeing a psychiatrist. - isokadded on the 2004-08-18 09:46:53

Sorry! You're right that K-Storm deserves being greeted in Hugi. I've forgotten it. I'll include greetings for K-Storm in Hugi 30. - rulezadded on the 2004-08-16 13:58:18

- About dipswitch in general:
There are three words I've never read in any comment of yours: "in", "my" and "opinion". You always present your opinion as it if were the absolute truth. That's a method which makes discussion impossible, and it's a feature of an authoritarian ideology. The basic feature of democracy is freedom of opinion, and it's one of the layers which our civilized society is based on. But if you present something as being the absolute truth, you protect yourself from people who might have better arguments.
I'd recommend that you read books by Karl Popper, especially "The Open Society and Its Enemies" ("Die offene Gesellschaft und ihre Feinde") and "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" ("Logik der Forschung"). - isokadded on the 2004-08-11 09:56:46

a) "how to save the demoscene" by ep:
...
the next chapter, "remove black & white...", does not need to be commented on and just shows the narrowness of EP's aesthetic horizon. i read quite a lot on aesthetics of totalitarian societies in the last months (works by paperny, groys and other culture-philosophers and historicians), and EP's views in this chapter are very much reminding me on these... "socialistic realism" in the ussr from 1932 on also required from all artforms to bring on "cheerful", "lively" and so on motives.
Emmanuel Poirier has written that the scene "lacks creativity". "The problem with nowadays demos is their lack of creativity: 80% of the time I download stuff from scene.org or pouet.net I do not see nice contents: black environments with geometric shapres, quite anxious stuff and this will not drive more people to the scene. ..."
What does this have to do with "socialist realism"?! Socialist realism was about showing the working class at labour. In the German Democratic Republic, for example, it was like this: when you created a song about love, the text was required to deal with the love of a kolchos farmer's daughter to a tractor driver.
Emmanuel Poirier has not written anything that could be considered "socialist realism"!
Quote:the "we must change sceners" fits perfectly in that context too - it's a try to establish behavement and living norms, a position that the demoscene as an anarchically-rooted community just has to reject. if someone drinks alcohol or eats fastfood is the individual's own business, it has NOTHING to do with the scene.
Emmanuel Poirier writes: "And we must change ourselves: we are the elite. Why are you making yourself uncomfortable and ill? Are you drinking? Are you eating absolutely everything? Hey, this is your health, this is your life, don't waste it. We need you in good shape, in good health, in good mental health, yes we need good coders, good musicians, good graphicians, and we need a good spirit, without competition, 'I'm the best, you are a lamer' is not a good spirit, it's the spirit of bad mannered-people."
I am unable to see any connection with "socialist realism". Health, mental health, good spirit - these are things that are important for every human being.
You are making outrageous associations. Not with the best will in the world would I be able to follow your path of thinking. - isokadded on the 2004-08-11 09:44:23

e) "scene national anthems" by adok:
okay, now for some attempt on humour. apart from the aspect i don't see any slightly spark of fun and originality in the idea of paraphrasing state anthems (collecting typical songs sceners sing on demoparties would be a far more interesting approach), i have one plea to adok: if you are dealing with some matter, make sure you have knowledge about it! this article shows that our oh-so-intellectual-superstudent adok don't really have a clue what he's writing about. first of all, if you took "functioning" anthems for all the countries, why did you take the german nazi anthem for paraphrasation? a subtile hint on all germans still being nazis? or just a show-off of your cluelesness?
yes, i know that that part of the anthem was created before 1848 and stood in a totally different political context originally, but, all ideological ballast aside, this is NOT the current german anthem.
Dear dipswitch, you are as wrong as you are most of the time. This IS the current German anthem.
The text was composed by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874) in the year 1841. The music is from Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809). The anthem consists of three verses. At official celebrations usually only the music is played, without singing; and if there is singing, then people sing only the third verse.
The Nazi anthem which you are talking about all the time was the so-called "Horst-Wessel-Lied".
During the rule of the Nazis, this song was played right after the German national anthem. You being a student of history ought to know this. - isokadded on the 2004-08-11 09:41:27

- eddi: Maybe I should translate the (German) coding articles from Hugi #1 - #10 to English? However, most of them are about beginner topics.

- diskmag Windows Hugi Special Edition #1: Coding Digest by Hugi [web]
- "Hugi Special Edition #1: Coding Digest" contains all programming-related articles from Hugi issues 11 to 27. This enables you to retrieve information on a particular topic very fast. While the Hugi Index that has already been available for a longer time has only permitted you to search for keywords in the headlines, you can now search the full texts and immediately read them, store them to HTML and print them.
This first Special Edition of the Hugi Magazine contains 330 articles written by 102 authors. This amounts to 4.4 Megabyte of text-data. Thus, the Coding Digest is the largest single diskmag issue ever released.
There are three tables of contents sorted by three different schemes. One is sorted by issue number, the second by author, and the third by topic. Thus, you are not only able to investigate which issues had the largest number of articles and the most useful contents, but also who were the most diligent writers. And if you sort the articles by topic, you will get something like the Coding Corner of a Super issue. - isokadded on the 2003-08-31 15:19:11
