Marcus Tullius Cicero

Quite some time ago I wrote a nice text about Good & Evil. Things have not changed so very much over the ages: still you have good guys and bad guys (M/F), open source and closed source, idealists and opportunists.

Although I wrote that text with care, it was not always handled well. And so pieces and bits (sic!) ended up in what might be the best known Latin text of this modern era: "Lorem ipsum". See some more background of it's history in this Wikipedia article. Even within Joomla! you can easily use it. Unfortunately only as "filler text"; there is not much left from the original wisdom.

Some think that modern people are more clever than we were in the old days. But I tell you: we've seen it all. We commented on so called "new" things allready thousands of years ago! Like:

• "Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi" (about ACL)
• "Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur" (about SEO)

So, I hope you can still learn something from us, the antiques. Maybe you'll remember us when you choose Times New Roman or Palatino as your font. Or when you linger around on a Forum. I've done it too. And I also spent more time on debate than on writing code...
