Paradigma Negara Kesatuan

TEROPONG – Mingguan Hidup, Agustus 2003

Belum lewat kemeriahan HUT Kemerdekaan RI ke-58 yang baru lalu. Bendera umbul-umbul dan lampion merah-putih yang menghiasi gang-gang belum juga dilepas. Namun peringatan kemerdekaan itu tinggalah peringatan. Paling banter ia akan ditemani dengan pentas musik dangdut atau panjat pinang atau lomba makan kerupuk atau tarik tambang di kampung-kampung atau sekolah-sekolah. Ia kian menjadi ritus – kian jauh dari upaya mendalami maknanya.

Yanuar Nugroho,

Recently my old laptop was seriously attacked by a worm virus called W.32Yaha@mm. The computer became slow and the virus started sending unauthorized emails, spreading the virus to all the people in my address book.

Almost instantly, I activated the “update” of my Anti-Virus software to prevent further damage and to destroy the virus. My attempt failed. An error-message was displayed on my screen stating, “Your Anti-Virus has expired”.
