Correct! And I suspect that it isn't allowed to sell and buy a good knife in Germany anymore without a "firearms licence" (this joke doesn't work in German, we don't have a "firearms licence", here it's called "weapon license"). IOW to get a good pastry chef's knife you need the same "weapon license" you need for a katana or pump gun. So people are used to use carp to cut a steak and they win the impression, that computer controlled machines can punch out good tools ... they simply don't know how good the quality of tools was just a few decades ago and they believe all the hype that in the digital age everything is better. It simply isn't better, quality of technology nowadays is as worse as it never was before, let alone social quality. When did they build the first katana ;)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
