科普兰：不投票可能才是公民应尽的义务

Posted on Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 3:50 pm

stossel.jpg著名节目主持人John Stossel写道：难道参加投票不是公民应尽的义务吗？科普兰（Bryan Caplan）回答："这就好像说教别人做手术是公民应尽的义务一样。我们现在往往认为政治问题远远没有脑科手术那么复杂，但其实时候它们是相当棘手的。如果你不太懂，那么最好就是让给懂的人来处理。"那么只有个别人有资格投票算不算是精英主义思维呢？科普兰答："只有个别人能做脑科手术算不算精英主义？说到底，如果你不懂，去投票就是在伤害国家 ...

普及正版是必由之路

Posted on Friday, October 31, 2008 at 1:45 pm

普及正版将是技术和经济发展后的必由之路——寻找借口绕开正版，将变得越来越不光彩，越来越不可能，和越来越没必要。

Fireworks Help Find Your Car

Every time I get out of a car I yell to my friends the exact floor, side, and column it's located on. Two hours later we're all wandering around trying to find it. Constantly clicking the remote keyless entry doesn't help unless you're within audible distance. I need something bigger, something I can't miss. How about fireworks?

The Fireworks Locator system by futurist with a sense of humor Mac Funamizu uses holographic projection technology to set off a display of lights and color you can't miss. A remote activates an emitter installed on the top of your vehicle. That's pretty much it. Feasibility aside, I could totally see Honda using this idea in one of their future ads. Imagine hundreds of Hondas creating an unforgettable light show.

Designer: Mac Funamizu

Storm-battered Yemen

Last weekend heavy storms crashed through Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the world. The wind, rain and lightning killed a number people initiallly, but the subsequent flooding took a much larger toll, in both lives and property. The hard-hit Hadramaut region is home to the ancient walled city of Shibam, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nicknamed the "Manhattan of the desert". The structures in Shibam and neighboring villages are mud-brick construction, and were damaged badly by the rain and flooding, many collapsing when their foundations were undercut. The World Health Organization has estimated that 180 people have died, mostly in building collapses, though that number is likely to change as debris is cleared away. (22 photos total)

A file photo from April 2007 handed out by the Aga Khan Award for architecture shows the ancient city of Shibam, Yemen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and and one of three major urban centres in Wadi Hadramaut. Heavy rains swept through Yemen's southeastern province of Hadramaut, which has now been declared a disaster zone, local officials said on October 24,2008. (ANNE DE HENNING/AFP/Getty Images)
