Hamburg Regional Court: Forum operators are liable for contributions - I hope this absurd ruling is overturned as soon as possible. Nonsensical nonsense that the judges are spouting, and absolutely not in line with previous case law.
2003 UB313: "Tenth Planet" barely larger than Pluto - I still support giving this object planetary status - or revoking it from Pluto.
Get A-Life: Core Wars / Tierra - a researcher lets a few Core-Wars algorithms loose in a digital primordial soup with simple mutation and simple death - and finds evolution and parasites shortly thereafter.
Texas Judge Orders Medication for Inmate - how perverse must a judge actually be if he first grants a mentally ill prisoner a stay of execution because of his mental illness - and then forces him to take his medication. Specifically so that he can be legally executed.

WordPattern - probably the next one for today?
IBM offers bounty for Exchange customers - clear message (although Notes vs. Exchange is like "driving out the devil with Beelzebub" to me)
python-constraint - had I already seen this? Doesn't matter, there's a new link and everything is repeated on TV anyway. Constraint solver in Python. Could definitely be interesting for projects.
Geogen - a funny thing, even if it's quite boring with my common name (ok, at least rank 13 in the ranking!). But with the names of my grandparents, it's already easier ...
Merquery, Text Indexing and Search with a Focus - a full-text search engine in Python specifically for RAD frameworks? Let's see what comes out of this.
The Spider of Doom - ouch. Destructive GET and "security" through JavaScript, cookies, and redirects. You have only yourself to blame, one might say.
Münte sends agreement on protection against dismissal back to the coalition committee - is his rudimentary conscience speaking up, or is it all just show again?
Ullrich postpones season debut - that won't happen anymore. He probably won't be able to take his last chance at the Tour victory either.
Microsoft threatens with patent lawsuits in the USA - a warning signal for Europe - but will the bureaucrats in Brussels understand the warning signal? I have my doubts.

Karlsruhe: Rezzo Schlauch advises EnBW - News | SWR.de - Money doesn't stink after all ...
Avimator - Animation software to create animations for Second Life. Should be compatible with Poser format, as they actually use Poser. Maybe interesting for small animation projects also outside Second Life?
LambdaMOO (with LambdaMOO Map) An Introduction - Multiuser platforms are all the rage right now. How about one that only needs one port - and then comes completely text-oriented? So to speak, a multi-user Infocom adventure?
MudWalker - A MUD Client for Mac OS X - can be used for LambdaMOO (hey, I don't want to just sit around stupidly in the hotel tonight!)
NPB-BLOG - no, not a blog of the NPD, but a blog about NPD activities.
Roam - a Google-like search engine including Ads. Not for the web, but for the Metaverse - the Second Life content. Did I mention that ads are also placed there? For virtual products in virtual stores in a virtual world? Payable with virtual money?
