Good that some people do realize what's going on in the US. "Again, when we abandoned our principles in order to use force against terrorists and drug dealers, the answer to the question, What are we defending? started to change. The original answer, ostensibly, was, "We are defending the peaceful and law-abiding citizens of the United States, their principles, and everything America stands for.

"In his indispensable book “America Alone,” Mark Steyn records how British Gen. Sir Charles Napier handled India’s tradition of “suttee” — the practice of burning widows to death in their husband’s funeral pyre. He told the locals:       “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them

I have not made music for quite some time. Focussed much more on the DJ-ing and on discovering music that I had missed over the years.

So now I want to actually finally definitely really pick

After having been with us for 11 years and three months, one of our two cats(Quark) wandered off some 18 or 19 days ago. We received word yesterday that he was found - dead - on the 10th of March, so I guess it didn't take him long to go.    We would have liked to have him around for a little while longer, but I guess as the Great Kurt Vonnegut said; 'So it goes'.

This is a very old song dating back to the 70ies. It was written and performed by Judy Tzuke(born Judie Myers) from London, who at the time was one of Elton John's proteges.

This is quite an interesting article. Not so very much because of the content but much more because of the date it appeared : June 6 2010. Way before the Wikileaks shit started hitting the fan. Lots of unknowns etcetera, but one has to admit that the military has a remarkably consistent response/opinion.

As someone who in intrigued by American politics I read about this courageous woman for the first time some time ago. She was quite frankly more of a special human being than her husband was. She passed away today, age 61. An admirable woman who can perhaps best be quoted by quoting herself. She posted this a day or two ago, in the knowledge that she would soon be gone.

I suppose most people have heard of WikiLeaks and all the muck they dredge up. This time they have started their own sub-website called http://wardiary.wikileaks.org/                    I don't know what to think of it. On the one hand it's good that this kind of information becomes public. On the other hand I would really like to know why the people behind WikiLeaks do not also publish the

Background After the operation as described here my PC has now operated under WindowsXP for a couple of weeks and it is a very satisfying experience(you see Alfred? I CAN be nice about Windows!). No bugs, no hangups, nothing that I would norrmally expect from the older Windows-versions. How on Earth Microsoft could ever follow up this Windows-version with Vista will always be beyond me. Must

I don't know what I find scarier; that this organization actually exists or that they seem to be necessary. Of course they are still bloody nerds, as one can conclude from this quote : "The text '9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a', which is located in the command's emblem, is the MD5 hash of their mission statement."

I ran Ubuntu Linux on my desktop for quite a while and I noticed that for Multimedia purposes it still really cannot beat the more recent Windows-versions. It's not criticism, it's just a fact. Microsoft's been at it for at least 20+ years so one may expect them to get it right eventually... So I decided to revert the desktop back to Windows. For the record; I still have a dual boot laptop

The Hotel New Hampshire is probably Irving's best novel to date, although "The World According To Garp" was a masterpiece too and "A Prayer For Owen Meanie" still reverberates in my mind. The Hotel New Hampshire though, is absolutely the most emotionally gripping novel by Irving that I have read. The story is way too complicated to explain here so let me just make a few observations. You can

A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert

The people over at Lake Superior State University have compiled their 'banished words' list again. "The list this year is a 'teachable moment' conducted free of 'tweets,'" said a Word Banishment spokesman who was "chillaxin'" for the holidays. "'In these economic times', purging our language of 'toxic assets' is a 'stimulus' effort that's 'too big to fail.'"

Once upon a time back in 1970, a man named Michael S. Hart did some work for the University of Illinois. He was rewarded with almost unlimited access to the mainframe they operated. As Hart wanted to do something useful, he set up a system whereby all books would ultimately be digitized an stored on the mainframe. The format would have to be plain and simple ASCII so all future computers would

Ok, so May 16th 2010, Sunday afternoon : A cafe full(I mean FULL!) of people, a progrock-band playing unplugged for two hours, a pretty massive consumption of beer and lemonades, and an atmosphere you will not find anywhere else or on any other 'night' in The Organization. The audience were so quiet that you could frequently hear a pin drop. If there would have been falling pins... And on the
