That interview with Viktor Mayer-Schönberger really rated its own thread. And I agree with Tim: the idea is monumentally stupid. Furthermore, the mere fact that there even exists such a position as "professor of internet governance and regulation" is telling. I wouldn't seriously consider the opinions of anyone who would accept such a position.

Viktor Mayer-Schönberger “should” go and boil his own head.

Me: You’re looking rough
Dorian Grey: Yeah I do, don’t I. Damn that Viktor and his picture expiry date.

I don’t think this properly counts as plagiarism. Fortunately there’s a much simpler concept that does clearly apply, which is ‘lying’. Hari is a liar, and hence by definition not to be believed.

A darned fine pun, J.M., but in fact I would have liked the link to go directly to the post called “Technology, the avenger”. Only Blogger has stitched me up and will only go to the monthly archive as a whole.

I think she knitted that quite nicely. Which reminds me. Cheers

Plagiarizing from yourself- shouldn’t that merit the death sentence, or something? Or perhaps you could fine yourself some money, and pay yourself in installments? Talk about owing it to yourself!
