Anyone who lets themselves be manipulated by Schill for so long, clings to someone like that, and thinks they can move up in the world that way either desperately needs help themselves or is already so corrupted by power hunger that they can't be helped anymore.
That said, perhaps the Schill faction shouldn't throw stones in their glass house too carelessly...

Anyway, if it breaks. My Minolta scanner is finally back from repair today (after being away twice for 4 weeks each - the first time it came back unrepaired) and it's in one piece. While testing it, I discovered that my G3 Mac is probably really fried: it only starts sporadically. Based on the symptoms, I'd suspect a defective mainboard. Damn. Can you still get Blue & White G3s repaired?
It's about time too!

Great prospects. Operating nuclear power plants as long as they want - that means for Germany financing this nonsense for as long as the monopolists want to rip people off. And renewable energies would be pushed back again. And of course Merkelnix will certainly busily transport nuclear waste through Germany and protect it with huge police presence. All very sensible ... At RP-Online: Politik I found the original article.
Wow - CSC with Jaksche and Voigt as new signings, that would be something. And Beloki at Gerolsteiner - that would be quite a bombshell. Beloki would certainly be a highly motivated rider for the overall classification next year at the Tour - and an Armstrong being attacked by Gerolsteiner, Telekom and Bianchi will definitely work up a sweat.

Well, I had to try that right away and sent some pings:

What's happening here? I'm sending packets with 1400 byte and 1500 byte lengths. The 1500 byte ones are being nicely fragmented at our router - a Telekom router with a DSL fixed connection - and sent as fragments:
goggle# tcpdump -i ppp0 icmp tcpdump: listening on ppp0 09:29:01.223186 62.153.201.130 > 62.226.72.1: (frag 33019:28@1480) 09:29:01.316521 62.153.201.130 > 62.226.72.1: icmp: echo request (frag 33019:1472@0+) 09:29:01.316707 62.153.201.130 > 62.226.72.1: (frag 33019:8@1472+) 09:29:01.317017 62.226.72.1 > 62.153.201.130: (frag 14273:36@1472) 09:29:01.317148 62.226.72.1 > 62.153.201.130: icmp: echo reply (frag 14273:1472@0+)
For example, that's what it looks like when I ping my machine at home. What does that point to? I'd wager that Strato has a firewall strategy where transparent firewalls sit in front of the Strato servers. And fragments are apparently getting lost there. It's possible they do this because TCP/IP fragments are often used in attacks, because fragments with incorrect header data tend to crash TCP/IP stacks. Still, I'd say that's a clear configuration error on Strato's part. At least it smells strongly of that...

Well, I started my apprenticeship as a data processing merchant at that store 17 years ago (to be exact on 1.8.86). It's quite remarkable how much everything has changed - back then it was a store with about 330 employees, fairly compact and with a surprisingly social management and a very pleasant work atmosphere. Today it has all become noticeably sharper and harder. Shame - because somewhere something got lost that had once made the store a dream employer in Münster. Well, for a few years now I've been sitting in a subsidiary of GAD, and in a couple more years it will probably be as big as GAD was back when I started...

The Danish government wants to normalize Christiania (the free zone in the middle of Denmark). The residents of Christiania (and not only they) see it somewhat differently of course: they see it as the destruction of their own small culture. That's why a demonstration is scheduled for August 30th - if you're in the area, you can demonstrate for a little bit of self-determined culture.
It's a shame how small autonomous groups are destroyed everywhere. In Germany with its obsession for order, you'd expect something like that by now (unfortunately), but in Denmark it used to be different...

An Apache module that allows PHP code to run under a different user than the one Apache is running as. This would make it possible to set up a separate environment for each user on the server using Unix file permissions and restrict them to that area - safer than the normal variant where all PHP scripts run under the Apache user. However, installing it alongside normal PHP is not so straightforward, since both depend on the same MIME type. Still, I could take a look at that.
Those working with IMAP4 mailboxes instead of POP3 often get ignored by various filter programmers - many can only handle POP3. The link goes to a filter that uses SpamAssassin against an IMAP4 server: emails are sorted out and thrown into a spam folder. The nice thing about it is that this filter doesn't need to be built into the mail client, but also not into mail delivery. Instead, you can simply run it outside of the mail program - it can run on any machine that has access to the mail account. Quite practical if you have your mailbox with a hosting provider and want to run the filter from your own server, but your mail program runs on a notebook (and you want to avoid downloading spam mountains while on the go, for example).
Oh, and the fact that the little program is written in Python is also not without its advantages - instead of SpamAssassin, you could also integrate SpamBayes, for example.
SCO did release its old Unix sources up to 32V as open source. There was an announcement from back then by Caldera (now SCO). Allegedly, there was supposed to be a restriction to non-commercial use in this release. Needless to say, there is no restriction on use anywhere in the announcement, nor is there a restriction to 16-bit versions alone, as SCO is now claiming through Blake Stowell.
Could it be that SCO was a bit unprepared for the whole operation?
Answers to a question I never asked myself
For this reason, I'm looking for backup software that can split a volume across multiple DVDs during backup. I do my actual backup with psync, but that only backs up to another volume - in my case a FireWire drive. Occasionally, I would like to burn disk images that I can store away and that are not as susceptible to defects. Any suggestions? By the way, Apple Backup would meet these requirements. Unfortunately, Apple forces you to have a .Mac account in order to start the backup program. So you can only use and restore your backups if you still have a .Mac account. I don't really think that's fair - data backup should be something that isn't tied to a 99 euro per year internet provider...
At Jutta there won't be any updates for now: both the iBook has a disk failure, as well as her Linux desktop. Somehow there's a problem here, first my desktop Mac and now Jutta's two computers.
Hopefully Apple will recover the disk contents during the repair, or I'll figure out beforehand how to save the disk contents, otherwise it's going to get really messy ...
Pretty strange story with the iBook: after a while the drive just keeps clicking, as if it's hammering the read head against the end of the platter. Sometimes it's not even recognized at startup. Sounds like it's done for ...
Small update: the Debian machine is still running after all, there was just a knot in the filesystem, possibly from an earlier crash. But the iBook drive is probably really done for, but we managed to copy down the most important files ...
Probably already blogged about elsewhere, but since I just installed it again: psync is a very practical software written in Perl that makes it possible to copy an entire Apple OS X volume in such a way that the result is even bootable afterwards. With this you can, for example, very easily mirror your boot partition to an external FireWire drive and use it both as a backup and as an emergency system.
There's also a GUI available for anyone who doesn't like using the Terminal.
It's a shame, but not really catastrophic. On the one hand, there's already a very usable X11 implementation for Jaguar, and on the other hand, X11 is likely to become a standard component with Panther and should be even more tightly integrated (for example, X11 applications should be able to be started normally by double-clicking and will load X11 if necessary). This would give X11 a similar status to the Classic environment: not perfectly integrated, but at least well integrated enough to live with. And for those willing to pay a few euros and support a German software company, there's still Papyrus X - we'll certainly forgive them for calling it Papyrus OS/2 in the page title.

But the thing does have a few catches:
The little device is somewhat heavier than I expected, but feels quite premium for it. And the accessories go well with it and are also quite well built (for example, the remote control also makes a fairly premium impression).
Quite a lot of small parts, but quite intelligently used multiple times - for example, the FireWire cable is simultaneously used as a cable for the power adapter for on the go, so you only need one cable. And everything in a format so that it fits well into the included accessory bag.
But what's really cool is the control via the touch elements, especially the wheel is amusing: essentially a round touchscreen that understands exactly two gestures (turning left and turning right). The user interface could be more intuitive, but it's okay.
In any case, it's good that there are no moving or protruding parts on the outside, so nothing can break off or get stuck.
All in all, quite a musical 30GB hard drive, and that's what it should be after all.

They should simply take the GUID instead of the content of the link tag. After all, the GUID in radio blog postings is always the link to the article itself (that's how it's defined anyway - only if the GUID element is marked with isPermalink="false" is it not the case). The Python Desktop Server does it exactly the same way, the link element contains the link of the posting, the link to the posting is in the GUID. So it's more of a problem with NetNewswire, that it doesn't ask the user which link it should pass as the link to the blog posting ...

From the SCO FAQ on Linux licensing:
If I am running SCO Linux or Caldera OpenLinux do I need to obtain a SCO IP License for Linux? - Yes.
This means that SCO itself sold products that are illegal (by their own definition). But SCO certainly sold these products to customers who in good faith purchased them from SCO believing the business was legitimate. Does this now mean these customers can sue SCO for fraud?
In any case, this should be a goldmine for any consumer protection advocate — a company that sells a product and then later comes along and tries to charge people again for the same service they already purchased.
