Don't Panic.

Don't Panic! A towel, states The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxyg is about the most massively useful thing an inter- stellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to hand—combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a bush, but very, very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough. More importantly, a towel has immnse psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (non-hitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in posession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag willthen happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Does Copyright still have a right to exist?

creativecommons.org

Does Copyright still have a right to exist? For many decades in human history, there was nothing like copyright. In medieval ages, for example, anyone could copy a book by hand, its content was not pro- tected. Then, Gutenberg invented printing. Ideas, texts could be mass-produced and a few hundred years later, there were authors and many people could read. In the 18th century, an author wrote a book and a publisher printed it. The author was paid a royalty. Then, other printers made priated copies or these books, and since they didn't have to pay the author, had lower expenses and could their books cheaper. The idea oi copyright came in. The author got the rights in his text, copying that without permission was forbidden. A good idea, at least from the point of the author 500 years ago. But in the last 20 years, a new technology developed, making the dream of universal access to knowledge, education and culture real: The Internet. Besides so many other things, the Internet changed how we deal with information. Uther than in the days, when copyright was inveted, everyone is a publisher now, writes, remixes and reuses new and old information. Copyright is outdated. The Internet changed the whole game. Copyright law didn't change. Nowadays, there's copyright trolling and many people don't even respect the property of others on the web. I think Copyright reached the end of its lifecycle,and now interferes with the free flow of information the web brought us. All the content on maschinengeschrieben is licensed under a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-SA license, so everyone is free to remix, share, edit and copy my works, if he/she attributes my work \with a link), if his/her new work is used for non-commercial purposes only and_i£ he/she shares the new work under the same or a similiar license. 1 think that makes much more sense in our age of sharing, remixing and transforming. what do you think? maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Triumph tippa This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty TyposphereDas Urheberrecht noch eine Existenzberechtigung? Seit vielen Jahrzehnten in der menschlichen Geschichte gab es nichts wie Urheberrecht. Im Mittelalter zum Beispiel jemand könnte ein Buch von Hand zu kopieren, war sein Inhalt nicht pro- geschützt. Dann erfand Gutenberg-Druck. Ideen, Texte könnten in Massen produziert werden und ein paar hundert Jahre später waren es Autoren, und viele Menschen lesen konnten. Im 18. Jahrhundert, schrieb ein Autor ein Buch und eine Verleger druckte es. Der Autor wurde eine Lizenzgebühr bezahlt. Dann machte andere Drucker priated Kopien oder diese Bücher, und da sie nicht über den Autor zu zahlen, hatten niedrigere Kosten und konnten ihre Bücher billiger. Die Idee kam herein oi Urheberrecht Der Autor bekam die Rechte in seinem Text, dass das Kopieren ohne Erlaubnis wurde verboten. Eine gute Idee, zumindest unter dem Aspekt des Autors vor 500 Jahren. Aber in den letzten 20 Jahren entwickelt eine neue Technologie, so dass der Traum von der universellen Zugang zu Wissen, Bildung und Kultur real: Das Internet. Neben so vielen anderen Dingen, Das Internet verändert, wie wir mit Informationen umgehen. Uther als in den Tagen, wenn urheberrechtlich inveted wurde, ist jeder ein Verlag nun schreibt, Remixe und Wiederverwendungen neuen und alten Informationen. Urheberrecht ist veraltet. Das Internet verändert die ganze Spiel. Copyright-Gesetz nicht ändern. Heutzutage gibt es Copyright Trolling und viele Menschen wissen nicht einmal respektieren die Eigentum anderer im Internet. Ich denke, Urheberrecht erreichte das Ende seines Lebenszyklus, und jetzt stört den freien Fluss von Informationen der Web gebracht mit uns auf.

Per molti decenni nella storia umana, non c'era niente come il diritto d'autore. In età medievale, ad esempio, chiunque poteva copiare un libro a mano, il suo contenuto non era pro- protetti. Poi, Gutenberg inventò la stampa. Idee, i testi possono essere prodotti in serie e poche centinaia di anni più tardi, ci sono stati gli autori e molte persone in grado di leggere. Nel 18 ° secolo, un autore ha scritto un libro e un editore ha stampato. L'autore è stato pagato una royalty. Poi, altre stampanti fatto copie priated o questi libri, e poiché non ha dovuto pagare l'autore, ha avuto minori spese e poteva loro libri meno costosi. L'idea oi diritti d'autore entrò L'autore ha ottenuto il diritti nel suo testo, che la copia senza autorizzazione era proibito. Una buona idea, almeno dal punto di dell'autore 500 anni fa. Ma negli ultimi 20 anni, una nuova tecnologia sviluppata, rendendo il sogno di un accesso universale alla conoscenza, all'istruzione e la vera cultura: The Internet. Oltre a tante altre cose, Internet cambiato il modo in cui trattiamo le informazioni. Uther che nei giorni, quando il copyright fu inveted, tutti sono un editore ora, scrive, remix e riutilizza vecchi e nuovi informazioni. Copyright è obsoleto. Il Internet cambiato intero gioco. La legge sul copyright non è cambiato. Al giorno d'oggi, c'è copyright trolling e molte persone non rispetta nemmeno la proprietà di terzi sul web. Penso Copyright raggiunto la fine del suo ciclo di vita, e ora interferisce con il libero flusso di informazioni che il web ha portato di noi.

Infinite Monkey Theorem.

If you give an infinite number of monkeys a typewriter each, they'll write all the worxs of William Shakespeare. If you gave them computers, they'll laugh about the Flash update reminder. maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Olympia SM-5 - 1956 This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty Typosphere

monospace.

monospace. Monospace fonts are a nice thing - for typewriters. They don't mguire individual carriage advancing for every single letter‚ unlike a proportianl font‚ which maxes the i less wide than tne w. But should we use mogospace fonts like Courier if we have other options, for example on a screen or in a printout? I don't thinx so, because proportional fonts like Arial/Helvetica or even better‚ because with serifs, Times New Roman are much better legible and gived much less eyestrain when used for typesetting of a longer text. I'm not a big fan of the "original" typewriter fonts for the Computer eithee. With smudges and other defects looking old, they're nice for a logo‚ maybe a title or a typewriter related‚ short description. But personally I preier clean‚ modern fonts Ior reading longer texts. maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Olympia SM-5

care for your typewriter.

care for your typewriter. my Underwood Finger-Elite turned out to be a debacle‚ as you might have read, the carriage return lever is severely broKen‚ the carriage has erratic errors and I also discovereä that the tab set arm is broken (a tiny tip has broken off)‚ but at least I got a manual with it - ior l CHF I don't want to complain. And this Handbuch, as we call it in german‚ includes a good advice: "clean your typewriter's typeslugs every evening" That makes sense. If we use a brush every evening to clean away the leftover inx and dirt, we possibly don't neeä to get out the toothpicks that often. And one thing is great about the defective Underwood‚ its typeslugs are perfectly clean. maschinengeschrieben blogspot Olympia SM—5 com

The Collection: Olympia SM3
In the series "The Collection", we present you the typewriters of maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com. Today's issue was written on the Olympia SM3 from 1956.

De Luxe, noisy and solid
The Olympia SM3, manufactured by Olympia in West Germany, is knwon to the typosphere as the holy grail. Rightly so, this machine is indeed very special. On the one hand she writes with a rather sharp tone and quite loud, on the other she's a fully fledged office machine, flawlessly crafted. It would actually surprise me if my SM3 would ever be put into repair. There's a feeling of value in the SM3. It feels as if you could still write after a bomb attack next to the desk on the Olympia. With the really loud sound that  the Olympia delivers  while you type, the impact would probably be overheard. If you're looking for a typewriter, which can potentially heard in the entire house, the Olympia is perfect. Also in transport condition, she's impressive, in the streamline-case with hammertone painting, which is vaguely reminiscent of Batman. Office undercover? Another feature of the "office machine" SM3: The tabs must be placed by hand, no levers that sets the limit, the six pints must be moved on the back. This is manual work.
Manual work is also needed when writing itself, the weight of the machine is reflected in lifting the carriage with the little finger, noticeable, but not really disturbing. The feeling of typing on the keyboard is very nice, comparable to the Olivetti MP1. Even if there is somehow still a greater sense of writing. But this is really machine writing.

Olympia SM3 621569 1956The Collection: Olympia SM5 In der Reihe "The Oollection" werden die Schreib- maschinen von maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com vorgestellt. Die heutige Ausgabe wurde auf der Olympia SM5 von 1956 geschrieben. De Luxe, Laut und Massiv Die Olympia SM5‚ hergestellt von Olympia in Westdeutschland, gilt in der Typosphere als heiliger Gral. Zu recht, diese Maschine ist in der Tat ziemlich besonders. Zum einen schreibt sie mit einem eher scharfen Ton und sher laut, zum anderen besticht sie als vollwertige Büro- maschine durch tadellose Verarbeitung. Es würde mich in der Tat wundern, wenn meine Smö jemals in Reparatur gegeben werden müsste. Das Gefühl von Wertigkeit ist bei der SM5 dabei. Man fühlt sich, als könnte man selbst nach einem Bombeneinschlag neben dem Schreibtisch auf der Olympia weiter- schreiben. Mit dem wirxlichx lauten Sound, den die Olympia während dem Tippen abgibt, würde sie den Einschlag wohl noch übertönen. Wer also eine Schreibmaschine sucht, die wohl im ganzen naus hörbar ist, ist mit der Olympia richtig beraten. Auch im Iransportzustand macht sie Eindruck, im Stromlinienförmigen Gehäuse mit Hammertone—Bemalung, das entfernt an Batman erinnert. Office undercover? Eine weitere Besonderheit der "Büromaschine" SM5: Die Tabulatoren müssen von Hand gesetzt werden, kein Hebel, der die Begrenzung setzt, die 6 Punkte müssen an der Rückseite verschoben werden. Das ist Handarbeit. Handarbeit ist auch beim Schreiben selbst gefragt, das Gewicht der Maschine macht sich auch beim Hochheben des Wagens mit dem Kleinen Finger bemerk- bar, ist aber nicht wirklich störend. Das Gefühl des Tippens auf den Tasten ist sehr angenehm, ver- gleichbar mit der Olivetti MP1. Auch wenn es dort irgendwie noch ein stärkeres Gefühl gibt beim Schreiben. Aber das hier ist wirklich Maschinen- schreiben. 'maschinengeschrieben.blo3spot.com Ulympia SM5 621569 1956 l
