Torture

If one searches for arguments for and against torture, he should have a look at the answer of this question.

I am flabbergasted. This is the best answer I have ever seen. May more people on the world answer with background information.

Werner Heisenberg (German) (Vielleicht eher was für Physiker...)

Ich mag die Interviewführung nicht. Aber, andere Zeiten .. und Deutschland. Vielleicht hat Heisenberg im Dritten Reich Fehler gemacht hat. Aber beim Lesen seiner Bücher, wenn ich beachte, was er nach dem Krieg gemacht hat und wenn ich versuche zwischen den Zeilen seiner Aussagen zu lesen, denke ich, dass er viele Dinge des Lebens wirklich verstanden hat. Deshalb lohnt es sich ihm zu zuhören.

Project Stereo 3 [alarm] (Projekt Hifi Anlage 3)

... and we did it! It is the opposite of a wonderful morning if you have to wake up at 3.30 h. However, the last time it was terrific. At 3.30 h my bedside lamp came on. Ok, this is not that nice. But then we heard from a near distance the sound of boiling water. Two minutes later we stood up and had our first fresh cup of tea. The next time we will have a coffee machine connected to the wireless socket! And in a few months I will get a hot chocolate machine! And then we will have coffee, cacao and music!1!!

Project Stereo 2 (Projekt Hifi Anlage 2)

A set-up consisting of a stereo system, Raspberry Pi, a 433 MHz radio transmitter and Elro wireless electrical socket now works. We followed this HowTo (German) and had to look here for connection of the Raspberry pins to the sender module.

Today we wanted to be awakened by a cron job of our raspberry: Well, the pi did not do his job. We used rcswitch-pi. It seems that if you use two send commands at the same time (or too fast in succession), they won't work. Tomorrow we will try again!

IT WORKS!!1! I GOT IT1!!

Used this howto ( german (similar) ). Beware of the dead links. This is why the installation is kind of hard. But if one follows the instructions and knows that a new user on the admin page is a new principal ;-), then things are fine.
