pirates enter court again

No, this is not about the requested appeal. This goes way beyond appeal.
It seems the judge, presiding the now already famous trial of four men maintaining The Pirate Bay, may have a certain bias. Being apparently an active member of the Swedish copyright lobby it takes not much effort to find a possible conflict [...]

back …

I‘ ve been away from my blog and my computer in general for a while in my own time. Renovating an appartment does that to you. But now it is nearing completion.
Some of it is really worthwhile, some of it are small details. Anyhow, I hope to increase my postcount a bit more from now [...]

Hello leaders of scientology, we are anonymous. We hope you are having as much fun with this as we are. As you know, we are still here, and with every passing day your failure to account for the fraud and abuse exposed by our campaign becomes more evident to the media, [...]

chrome is the best

Chrome is the best browser out there.
Yes, I do seriously mean it! No, it’s technically not the best, nor in form and looks, nor in functionality.
After test driving it I can call a list of great stuff:

Chrome it is!
I just downloaded it and tried to run it with this disappointing message:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.
Some googling around brought me to this blog that had all links neatly ordered.
Seems the problem exists for users of Symantec Endpoint Protection (aptly abbreviated SEP).

After the company’s relocation to the center of the city behind the central station, the [...]

my fat pipes ?

This is what the ISPs will face in the near future:
Their precious IPTV model turned upside down!
Now youtube starts to introduce high quality/resolution video, now state television broadcasters use bittorrent to multicast episodes of popular shows (Norway, Canada, …) and some deploy their own player (BBC’s iPlayer), the strain on ISPs raises. Not only is [...]

radio modern – roma

Last night I broke some sweat again dancing my shoes off.
It was again one of those incredible Radio Modern parties.
Traditionally the night opens with a little dancing class session teaching the basics of some jive or swing, which I completely missed this time because I was too late.
The performing act of the evening was Lady [...]
