 Kommentar des Technikers Flo Brünner zur Technik von Kernkraftwerken :
Wenn es im Havariefall eines KKWs ( und sämtlicher On Board
Vorkehrungen ) essentiell ist, externe Energie einzuspeisen um den abgeschalteten Reaktor vor dem sog. Melt Down zu bewahren,
ohne in Erwägung zu ziehen das im Zweifelsfall diese Energie nicht zur Verfügung steht, dann nennt man dieses
"Bad Engineering". Die Designer einer solchen Einrichtung möchten sich bitte mit dem Begriff "Fail Safe" vertraut
machen und z.B. bei den Kollegen der Aeronautik etwas über "Redundanz" lernen ...

[EXT] Werferfehler schreibt Wer kennt sich hier aus?
Ich habe an dieser Stelle eine Frage an diejenigenhier die sich mit wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten auskennen (ich leider nicht): Angenommen, KT hätte alle Fußnoten korrekt gesetzt, hätte es dann eine Wahrscheinlichkeit gegeben ihm den Doktortitel zu geben, wenn auch nicht mit der Spitzennote? Oder würde dann der eigene Anteil an der Arbeit fehlen? Würde mich wirklich interessieren, als "Fußnote" zu dem ganzen Thema quasi. Vielen Dank!

[EXT]dieschweigendemehrheit schreibt @Werferfehler Ein recht eindeutiges Nein. Momentan wird vom "Volk" (also den Nicht-Akademikern) häufig die Ansicht vertreten, dass er ja nur ´nicht richtig zitiert habe. Das ist eben gerade falsch. Zitate dienen in geisteswissenschaftlichen Arbeiten dazu bestimmte Aussagen zu unterstreichen. Man hat beispielsweise 4 verschiedene Ansichten zu einem Thema und stellt diese diskutierend gegenüber, um damit seine eigene Meinung zu begründen. Das Ziel soll es aber gerade nicht sein, mit möglichst vielen Fußnoten möglichst viel Platz zuzukleistern, sondern die verschiedenen Aspekte eines Themas genauer zu beleuchten. Dabei gilt, dass man nur die wichtigsten direkten Zitate benutzen sollte. Es gibt darüberhinaus die indirekten Zitate, also Stellen, mit denen man belegt, dass das, was man schreibt, wissenschaftlicher Konsens ist. Das sind die Fußnoten, die normalerweise mit vgl beginnen. Wesentlich sollte aber eigentlich sein, dass man ein Thema selbstständig weiterdenkt. Um zu Guttis Arbeit zurückzukommen: Guttenberg hat 50% seiner Arbeit aus nicht zitierten Zeilen zusammenkopiert. Dazu kommen über 600 (?) Fußnoten, in denen er also aus anderen Werken offen zitiert. Dass die Zitate also nicht im oben genannten Sinne benutzt worden sind, ist also offensichtlich, da die Arbeit eigentlich nur aus Zitaten besteht. Ein Professor, dem man eine solche Arbeit (also mit allen Fußnoten) abgibt, würde einem wohl ins erste Semester zurückbefördern, da der Student/Doktorand denn Sinn wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens nicht kapiert hätte. Was Guttenberg gemacht hat, ist nicht schlechtes Zitieren sondern schlichter Betrug. Dieser Kommentar wird von 0% unserer 1 Leser als schlecht gesehen, und von 100% als gut. Wie sehen Sie das?

Revealed: Air Force ordered software to manage army of fake virtual people By Stephen C. Webster  Update (below): HBGary Federal among bidders These days, with Facebook and Twitter and social media galore, it can be increasingly hard to tell who your "friends" are. But after this, Internet users would be well advised to ask another question entirely: Are my "friends" even real people? In the continuing saga of data security firm HBGary, a new caveat has come to light: not only did they plot to help destroy secrets outlet WikiLeaks and discredit progressive bloggers, they also crafted detailed proposals for software that manages online "personas," allowing a single human to assume the identities of as many fake people as they'd like. The revelation was among those contained in the company's emails, which were dumped onto bittorrent networks after hackers with cyber protest group "Anonymous" broke into their systems. In another document unearthed by "Anonymous," one of HBGary's employees also mentioned gaming geolocation services to make it appear as though selected fake persons were at actual events. "There are a variety of social media tricks we can use to add a level of realness to all fictitious personas," it said. Government involvement Eerie as that may be, more perplexing, however, is a federal contract [1] from the 6th Contracting Squadron at MacDill Air Force Base, located south of Tampa, Florida, that solicits providers of "persona management software." While there are certainly legitimate applications for such software, such as managing multiple "official" social media accounts from a single input, the more nefarious potential is clear. Unfortunately, the Air Force's contract description doesn't help dispel suspicions. As the text explains, the software would require licenses for 50 users with 10 personas each, for a total of 500. These personas would have to be "replete with background , history, supporting details, and cyber presences that are technically, culturally and geographacilly consistent." It continues, noting the need for secure virtual private networks that randomize the operator's Internet protocol (IP) address, making it impossible to detect that it's a single person orchestrating all these posts. Another entry calls for static IP address management for each persona, making it appear as though each fake person was consistently accessing from the same computer each time. The contract also sought methods to anonymously establish virtual private servers with private hosting firms in specific geographic locations. This would allow that server's "geosite" to be integrated with their social media profiles, effectively gaming geolocation services. The Air Force added that the "place of performance" for the contract would be at MacDill Air Force Base, along with Kabul, Afghanistan and Baghdad. The contract was offered on June 22, 2010. It was not clear exactly what the Air Force was doing with this software, or even if it had been procured. Manufacturing consent Though many questions remain about how the military would apply such technology, the reasonable fear should be perfectly clear. "Persona management software" can be used to manipulate public opinion on key information, such as news reports. An unlimited number of virtual "people" could be marshaled by only a few real individuals, empowering them to create the illusion of consensus. You could call it a virtual flash mob, or a digital " Brooks Brothers Riot [2]," so to speak: compelling, but not nearly as spontaneous as it appears. That's precisely what got DailyKos blogger Happy Rockefeller in a snit [3]: the potential for military-run armies of fake people manipulating and, in some cases, even manufacturing the appearance of public opinion. "I don't know about you, but it matters to me what fellow progressives think," the blogger wrote. "I consider all views. And if there appears to be a consensus that some reporter isn't credible, for example, or some candidate for congress in another state can't be trusted, I won't base my entire judgment on it, but it carries some weight. "That's me. I believe there are many people though who will base their judgment on rumors and mob attacks. And for those people, a fake mob can be really effective." It was Rockefeller who was first to highlight the Air Force's "persona" contract, which was available on a public website. A call to MacDill Air Force Base, requesting an explanation of the contract and what this software might be used for, was answered by a public affairs officer who promised a call-back. No reply was received at time of this story's publication. Other e-mails circulated by HBGary's CEO illuminate highly personal data about critics of the US Chamber of Commerce, including detailed information about their spouses and children, as well as their locations and professional links. The firm, it was revealed, was just one part of a group called "Team Themis," tasked by the Chamber [4] to come up with strategies for responding to progressive bloggers and others. "Team Themis" also included a proposal [5] to use malware hacks against progressive organizations, and the submission of fake documents in an effort to discredit established groups. HBGary was also behind a plot by Bank of America to destroy WikiLeaks' technology platform, other emails revealed. The company was humiliated by members of "Anonymous" [6] after CEO Aaron Barr bragged that he'd "infiltrated" the group. A request for comment emailed to HBGary did not receive a reply. Update: HBGary Federal among bidders A list of interested vendors responding to the Air Force contract for "persona management software" included HBGary subsideary HBGary Federal, further analysis of a government website has revealed [7]. Other companies that offered their services included Global Business Solutions and Associates LLC [8], Uk Plus Logistics, Ltd. [9], NevinTelecom [10], Bunker Communications [11] and Planmatrix LLC [12].

Excerpt of the WikiLeaks Pages, posted Wednesday 2011-02-09
In a document titled "The WikiLeaks Threat" three data intelligence companies, Plantir Technologies, HBGary Federal and Berico Technologies, outline a plan to attack Wikileaks. They are acting upon request from Hunton and Williams, a law firm working for Bank of America. The Department of Justice recommended the law firm to Bank of America according to an article in The Tech Herald . The prosed attacks on WikiLeaks according to the slides include these actions:
I
m Leben stehen einem anständigen Charakter so und so viele Wege offen, um vorwärts zu kommen. Einem Schuft stehen bei gleicher Intelligenz
und Tatkraft auf dem gleichem Platz diese Wege auch alle offen, daneben aber auch noch andere, die ein anständiger Kerl nicht geht.
Er hat daher mehr Chancen, vorwärts zu kommen, und infolge dieser negativen charakterlichen Auslese findet eine Anreicherung der höheren
Gesellschaftsschichten mit Schurken statt. Das ethische Durchschnittsniveau einer Gesellschaftsschicht wird umso schlechter, je besser und
einflussreicher sie gestellt ist. [...]
Hermann Oberth (1894 - 1989) ..
