  15 &lt;p&gt;A few days ago, I was introduces to some students in the robot
  16 student assosiation &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.robotica.no/&quot;&gt;Robotica
  17 Osloensis&lt;/a&gt; at the University of Oslo where I work, who planned to
  18 get their own 3D printer.  They wanted to learn from me based on my
  19 work in the area.  After having a short lunch meeting with them, I
  20 offered them to borrow my reprap kit, as I never had time to complete
  21 the build and this seem unlike to change any time soon.  I look
  22 forward to see how this goes.  This monday their volunteer driver
  23 picked up my kit and drove it to their lab, and tomorrow I am told the
  24 last exam is over so they can start work on getting the 3D printer
  25 operational.&lt;/p&gt;
  26
  27 &lt;p&gt;The robotic group have already build several robots on their own,
  28 and seem capable of getting the reprap operational.  I really look
  29 forward to being able to print all the cool 3D designs published on
  30 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thingiverse.com/&quot;&gt;Thingiverse&lt;/a&gt;.  I even got
  31 some 3D scans I got made during Dagen@IFI when one of the groups at
  32 the computer science department at the university demonstrated their
  33 very cool 3D scanner.&lt;/p&gt;

  38                 <title>Martin Bekkelund: En stille bønn om Datalagringsdirektivet</title>

  43 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bekkelund.net/&quot;&gt;Martin Bekkelund&lt;/a&gt; ved
  44 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.friprog.no/&quot;&gt;friprog-senteret&lt;/a&gt; har skrevet
  45 følgende
  46 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bekkelund.net/2010/12/09/en-stille-bonn/&quot;&gt;korte
  47 oppsummering&lt;/a&gt; rundt datalagringsdirektivet, som jeg videreformidler
  48 her.&lt;/p&gt;
  49
  50 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Det pågår i disse dager en intens diskusjon om
  51 innføring av Datalagringsdirektivet (&lt;acronym
  52 title=&quot;Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;DLD&lt;/acronym&gt;) i norsk rett. Kanskje
  53 har du gjort deg opp en mening, kanskje er du usikker. I begge
  54 tilfeller ber jeg deg lese videre.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  55
  56 &lt;p&gt;Samtlige fagmiljøer, både i Norge og EU, har konkludert med at
  57 &lt;acronym title=&quot;Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;DLD&lt;/acronym&gt; ikke bør
  58 innføres på nåværende tidspunkt. Den tekniske kvaliteten på direktivet
  59 er dårlig, det griper uforholdsmessig inn i personvernet, det har
  60 store mangler og viktige spørsmål som hvem som skal ha tilgang og
  61 hvordan data skal lagres er fortsatt uavklart.&lt;/p&gt;
  62
  63 &lt;ul&gt;
  64 &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ikt-norge.no/norge-kan-slippe-datalagringsdirektivet/&quot;&gt;EU-ekspertene sier&lt;/a&gt; at konsekvensene av å benytte vetoretten er minimale&lt;/li&gt;
  65 &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.regjeringen.no/pages/2281080/Deninternasjonalejuristkommisjon.pdf&quot;&gt;Juristene påpeker&lt;/a&gt; at direktivet er i strid med EMK&lt;/li&gt;
  66 &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dagbladet.no/2010/12/06/kultur/debatt/kronikk/dld/personvern/14594699/&quot;&gt;Datatilsynet sier&lt;/a&gt; direktivet får store konsekvenser for personvernet og at direktivet er irreversibelt&lt;/li&gt;
  67 &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bekkelund.net/?s=dld&quot;&gt;Teknologene sier&lt;/a&gt; at sikker lagring ikke er mulig, at det er svært enkelt å omgå og mulig å manipulere data og produsere falske beviser&lt;/li&gt;
  68 &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.regjeringen.no/pages/2281080/NJ_247460_1_P.pdf&quot;&gt;Pressen sier&lt;/a&gt; nei av hensyn til kildevernet&lt;/li&gt;
  69 &lt;li&gt;Det er store &lt;a href=&quot;http://tetzschner.blogspot.com/2010/03/den-tyske-forfatningsdomstol.html&quot;&gt;interne&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://stoppdld.no/2010/03/02/datalagring-stoppet-av-tysk-forfatningsdomstol/&quot;&gt;stridigheter&lt;/a&gt; i EU. Blant annet har den tyske forfatningsdomstolen funnet at måten &lt;acronym title=&quot;Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;DLD&lt;/acronym&gt; er innført på er i strid med tysk grunnlov&lt;/li&gt;
  70 &lt;li&gt;Alle de store &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bekkelund.net/2010/12/08/lokasjonsdata-og-datalagringsdirektivet/&quot;&gt;operatørene og tilbyderne sier nei&lt;/a&gt;, av tekniske og personvernmessige årsaker&lt;/li&gt;
  71 &lt;/ul&gt;
  72
  73 &lt;p&gt;Jeg liker å tro at jeg er en hyggelig fyr. Jeg har et rent
  74 rulleblad, og med unntak av to fartsbøter har jeg aldri vært en byrde
  75 for samfunnet. Det akter jeg å fortsette med. Det er mange som meg,
  76 lovlydige, pliktoppfyllende borgere som aldri vil utgjøre en trussel
  77 mot noe som helst. Vi synes derfor det er trist og sårende at all vår
  78 atferd skal overvåkes døgnkontinuerlig.&lt;/p&gt;
  79
  80 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Understøttet av faglige vurderinger kan du trygt si nei til
  81 &lt;acronym title=&quot;Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;DLD&lt;/acronym&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  82
  83 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bekkelund.net/kontakt/&quot;&gt;Ta kontakt med meg&lt;/a&gt;
  84 hvis du har spørsmål om &lt;acronym
  85 title=&quot;Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;DLD&lt;/acronym&gt;, uansett hva det måtte
  86 gjelde.&lt;/p&gt;

  94 &lt;p&gt;Siste &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nettavisen.no/it/article3043918.ece&quot;&gt;melding
  95 fra Nettavisen&lt;/a&gt; er at regjeringen planlegger å fremme sitt forslag
  96 til implementering av datalagringsdirektivet i morgen, i ly av
  97 fredprisutdelingen for å få minst mulig pressedekning om saken.  Vi
  98 får snart se om det stemmer.&lt;/p&gt;

 108 &lt;p&gt;With this weeks lawless
 109 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/12/06/wikileaks/index.html&quot;&gt;governmental
 110 attacks&lt;/a&gt; on Wikileak and
 111 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.salon.com/technology/dan_gillmor/2010/12/06/war_on_speech&quot;&gt;free
 112 speech&lt;/a&gt;, it has become obvious that PayPal, visa and mastercard can
 113 not be trusted to handle money transactions.
 114 A blog post from
 115 &lt;a href=&quot;http://webmink.com/2010/12/06/now-accepting-bitcoin/&quot;&gt;Simon
 116 Phipps on bitcoin&lt;/a&gt; reminded me about a project that a friend of
 117 mine mentioned earlier.  I decided to follow Simon&#39;s example, and get
 118 involved with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitcoin.org/&quot;&gt;BitCoin&lt;/a&gt;.  I got
 119 some help from my friend to get it all running, and he even handed me
 120 some bitcoins to get started.  I even donated a few bitcoins to Simon
 121 for helping me remember BitCoin.&lt;/p&gt;
 122
 123 &lt;p&gt;So, what is bitcoins, you probably wonder?  It is a digital
 124 crypto-currency, decentralised and handled using peer-to-peer
 125 networks.  It allows anonymous transactions and prohibits central
 126 control over the transactions, making it impossible for governments
 127 and companies alike to block donations and other transactions.  The
 128 source is free software, and while the key dependency wxWidgets 2.9
 129 for the graphical user interface is missing in Debian, the command
 130 line client builds just fine.  Hopefully Jonas
 131 &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/578157&quot;&gt;will get the package into
 132 Debian&lt;/a&gt; soon.&lt;/p&gt;
 133
 134 &lt;p&gt;Bitcoins can be converted to other currencies, like USD and EUR.
 135 There are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitcoin.org/trade&quot;&gt;companies accepting
 136 bitcoins&lt;/a&gt; when selling services and goods, and there are even
 137 currency &quot;stock&quot; markets where the exchange rate is decided.  There
 138 are not many users so far, but the concept seems promising.  If you
 139 want to get started and lack a friend without any bitcoins to spare,
 140 you can even get
 141 &lt;a href=&quot;https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/&quot;&gt;some for free&lt;/a&gt; (0.05
 142 bitcoin at the time of writing).  Use
 143 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitcoinwatch.com/&quot;&gt;BitcoinWatch&lt;/a&gt; to keep an eye
 144 on the current exchange rates.&lt;/p&gt;
 145
 146 &lt;p&gt;As an experiment, I have decided to set up bitcoind on one of my
 147 machines.  If you want to support my activity, please send Bitcoin
 148 donations to the address
 149 &lt;b&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/b&gt;.  Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;
