    Quiet compartments in trains

    In the Netherlands we have so called 'silence' compartments in trains which is for exactly that. No phone ringing, no talking on the phone and no talking between people....In theory. Most of the time there are always a few people who don't know what 'silence' means or think it doesn't apply to them. And I haven't even touched the deafening volume of mp3players.

    I'm sure it's possible to reach this now so distant ideal of silence in trains when the traincompanies start to enforce the rule of silence.

    At Techdirt the perspective 'this is reality, don't try to change it' is wildly popular, I for one think that we have to try to make it better instead of accepting it as it is.

    That goes to show their incredibly advanced stealth technologies if not the inability of the CIA to detect nations of terror.

    Re: We need more fine-grained access control

    How is more fine-grained control going to help against 'attacks' like the one Scoble did? Ownership of data is sooo RIAA and not how it works on the tubes we call internet. It's exactly how Tim Lee said in this article, if it's entered in any (online) database, some day its security is going to get breached and you're info is publicly available.

    Sure, more control is going to slow down that process for a bit and is going to give more room for legal action, but it's not going to secure your info.

    Polyphasic sleeping worked for me though

    Heya,

    Just wanted to say that Polyphasic Sleeping worked for me, I just couldn't continue doing this because I drove my girlfriend crazy being on such a sleeping pattern. I tried this for almost a week and the amount of hours I gained every day was stunning. Midnight coding never seemed so easy.
