Mijn bruinen makker

Een echte aapjeskoetsier ! Hij zit op een zeer primitief tweeraderig karretje, steekt de harige handen uit de mouwen, is wijs genoeg om zich niet dood te rukken aan de leidsels, die hij rustig over zijn schouders laat hangen, kijkt nieuwsgierige voorbijgangers aan alsof-ie zeggen wilde: "Wie doe me wat", terwijl de trekhond lijdzaam zijn kleineren tropischen natuurgenoot diens genot van meneer gunt.

In zijn blikken leest men zelfs het wachtwoord: "Blijf van mijn bruinen makker af!"

Prepare to enter the hivemind

Hello, friend, and welcome to the Internet, the guiding light and deadly laser in our hectic, modern world. The Internet horde has been watching you closely for some time now. It has seen you flock to your Facebook and your Twitter over the years, and it has seen you enter its home turf and attempt to overrun it with your scandals and “real world” gossip. You need to know that the ownership of cyberspace will always remain with the hivemind. The Internet does not belong to your beloved authorities, militaries, or multi-millionaire company owners. The Internet belongs to the trolls and the hackers, the enthusiasts and the extremists; it will never cease to be this way.

You see, the Internet has long since lost its place in time and its shady collective continues to shun the fact that it lives in a specific year like 2012, where it has to abide by 2012’s morals and 2012’s society, with its rules and its punishments.

The Internet smirks at scenes of mass rape and horrific slaughtering followed by a touch of cannibalism, all to the sound of catchy Japanese music. It simply doesn’t give tuppence about getting a “job,” getting a car, getting a house, raising a family, and teaching them to continue the loop while the human race organizes its own death. Custom-plated coffins and retirement plans made of paperwork…the Internet asks why?

You cannot make the Internet feel bad, you cannot make the Internet feel regret or guilt or sympathy, you can only make the Internet feel the need to have more lulz at your expense. The lulz flow through all in the faceless army as they see the twin towers falling with a dancing Hitler on loop in the bottom-left corner of their screens. The lulz strike when they open a newspaper and care nothing for any of the world’s alleged problems. They laugh at downward red arrows as banks and businesses tumble, and they laugh at our glorious government overlords trying to fix a situation by throwing more currency at it. They laugh when you try to make them feel the need to “make something of life,” and they laugh harder when you call them vile trolls and heartless web terrorists. They laugh at you because you’re not capable of laughing at yourselves and all of the pointless fodder they believe you surround yourselves in. But most of all they laugh because they can.

This is not to say that the Internet is your enemy. It is your greatest ally and closest friend; its shops mean you don’t have to set foot outside your home, and its casinos allow you to lose your money at any hour of the day. Its many chat rooms ensure you no longer need to interact with any other members of your species directly, and detailed social networking conveniently maps your every move and thought. Your intimate relationships and darkest secrets belong to the horde, and they will never be forgotten. Your existence will forever be encoded into the infinite repertoire of beautiful, byte-sized sequences, safely housed in the cyber cloud for all to observe.

And how has the Internet changed the lives of its most hardened addicts? They simply don’t care enough to tell you. So welcome to the underbelly of society, the anarchistic stream-of-thought nebula that seeps its way into the mainstream world — your world — more and more every day. You cannot escape it and you cannot anticipate it. It is the nightmare on the edge of your dreams and the ominous thought that claws its way through your online life like a blinding virtual force, disregarding your philosophies and feasting on your emotions. 

Prepare to enter the hivemind, motherfuck.

Haar leven was
Liefderijk en edel
Nu blijven geloof, hoop
En liefde deze drie
Maar de liefde is
De aller uit nemenste

Oertronk

„Geef ons een nageslacht, gelijk aan de wijdgetakte kroon van den waringinboom". De aarstvaderlijke grijsaard, die op zijn hulpeloozen ouden dag vertrouwde op den eerbied en de liefde zijner kinderen, deed denken aan den oertronk, in het afsterven nog gesteund door de krachtige jonge stammen, die er rond om heen zijn opgeschoten.

Hoerni patent notebook

Date 1957-11-07-1960-12-22

Author Hoerni, Jean A.

Biographical Notes
Born in Switzerland in 1924, Jean Amédée Hoerni earned Ph.D.s in physics at the Universities of Geneva and Cambridge. After moving to the U.S. he worked as a research fellow with Linus Pauling at the California Institute of Technology. He joined Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory in 1956 and left in September 1957 to co-found Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation with seven other dissidents. At Fairchild, Hoerni conceived the planar silicon transistor in December 1957 and successfully developed it in early 1959. His planar processing technique revolutionized semiconductor manufacturing and was adopted worldwide. It also led to the invention of the monolithic integrated circuit by R. Noyce at Fairchild. Hoerni left Fairchild with J. Last in early 1961 to found the Amelco divison of Teledyne, Inc., to manufacture integrated circuits. He left Teledyne in 1963 for Union Carbide, heading a research unit. In 1967 he established Intersil (short for International Silicon) with mainly European investors, producing MOS transistors and integrated circuits for calculators and watches. He founded several other companies, including Telmos to make high-voltage MOS devices. Hoerni received numerous industry awards. He is most widely known outside industry circles for his endowment of the Central Asia Institute to build schools in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. He died in 1997.

Description
This volume contains a mix of brief notes on the status of experimental wafers together with extended disclosures of process and design ideas that were used as the basis for patent filings. Specific entries include: "Method of protecting exposed p-n junctions at the surface of silicon transistors by oxide masking techniques" (pp. 3-4) this was his first expression of the planar process – U.S. patent 3025589; "Effect of gold-doping on lifetimes in transistors" (pp. 7-11) – U.S. patent 3108914; “Use of selective control on electron and hole lifetimes in semiconductor devices” (pp. 12-15) – U.S. patent 3184347; “PNP planar transistors” (pp. 17-18); “On the application of the Merck growing technique to device structures;” “Observations on the impact and applications of epitaxial films” (pp. 23-24); “Logic using unipolar transistors” proposes a practical method of implementing the ideas of Walmark at RCA (pp. 26–28).
