Each war is different, each war is the same

Each war is different, each war is the same

Every Saturday I’ll share photos that amazed me in the last week. So enjoy this great photo.
This is a photo taken by Kevin Dooley in Santa Monica, California.

Talk about a picture that say more than a thousand words.

The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Peter Sunde aka. brokep together with Linus Olsson aka. bonq, have just launched a new project named Flattr – combination of “flatter” and “flatrate”. It’’s still in the early beta stages and an invite code is required upon sign up. The video below describes the idea behind the service very good.

You sign up for a Flattr account like you would with any other social network like Digg, Twitter, StumbleUpon etc. You can then choose your monthly flatrate amount, there is a minimum of at least 2 EUR/month. For you as a content provider you have to be willing to give if you also want to receive, so if you want to add a Flattr button on your site then you will have to sign up for the monthly flatrate first. This isn”t a one-way service, it goes both ways.

Hummer police car

When can we expect to see these as the standard police car?

If you’re tired of reading and hearing stuff like:

  • Oh you should turn that light off
  • You should really walk instead
  • You should turn your computer off
  • Buy a Prius and save the planet
  • The polar bears will die tomorrow if you don’t sell all your electronics and go live in a tree.

Then you will love this article. Okay maybe you haven’t heard all those things but you get the point. I’m all for people taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint, now this is not steps that bumps them back to the stone-age simply just things that they can do without actually making their lives worse.
