Klaus Schleimer?
Was Herr Kleber im heute-Journal vom 5.6. zum besten gab gehört wohl zu den schleimigsten Untertänigkeitsbekundungen welche ich je gehört habe – ein Satz, zweimal geschleimt. Respekt! Wirklich kein Wort gegen unsern Joachim Gauck, aber es ist schon schön, daß … Continue reading

Re: This is worse than I thought
So can we get rid of the “lock screen” (the one before we see the login prompt)? Turns out we can: Run gpedit.msc as administrative user, then go to: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Personalization in … Continue reading
This is worse than I thought
Testing the Windows 8 RC now in order to find out whether it is usable with some programs I maintain. So far the impression I got months ago hasn’t really changed. With the only difference that this time I didn’t … Continue reading
Symbolic links to remote locations …
Recently after migrating to Windows 7 on my work machine, I ran into a little issue. I created symbolic links pointing to a network share. Now this is all fine and dandy, but symbolic links can only be created by … Continue reading

Looks like I may depart from Windows (after all)
Microsoft is planning to make the Windows 8 look overall flat just like the ugly Metro stuff. Bye bye Aero. Nothing learned from the feedback about Visual Studio 11 Beta, it seems. This means one probably will need special glasses … Continue reading

Niedlich
Daß und ungefähr wie viel Geld die Bundesregierung in New York verwahrt hat, ist ein offenes Geheimnis. Daß die Bundesbank sich allerdings weigert eine Inventur davon zu machen, ist reichlich bizarr: […] Die Tatsache aber, dass sie offenbar noch nie … Continue reading

Antidemokrat der Woche: Roman Herzog
Siehe hier – berichtet wurde schon am Samstag in den Abendnachrichten. Bundespräsident a.D. Herzog meint also allen Ernstes, daß die Tatsache, daß noch mehr Meinungen aus der Volksvertretung herausfallen eine stärkere Vertretung bedeutet … 🙄 Mir scheint Wiglaf Droste hat … Continue reading

ZDF heute journal vom 10. Mai 2012
Die Sendung ist heute ungewöhnlich wortkarg und kurz 😆 Diese Sendung können wir aus rechtlichen Gründen leider nur unseren Zuschauern innerhalb Deutschlands anbieten. Wir bitten um Ihr Verständnis. Was hat Frau Slomka denn diesmal angestellt? Oder war’s Herr Kleber? Zuschauerredaktion … Continue reading

С днём Победы 2012 (Victory Day)
Classic! Today is Victory Day in many parts of the former Soviet Union. I’ve had some special Easter Eggs hidden on my website in past years, but never on my blog. Time to change this. Listen to the song “День … Continue reading
Not a convert
It’s a trap! I’m more and more convinced that the GPL is just that – a trap. Richard Stallman, aka RMS, was visiting Iceland one year ago and I had the “pleasure” of listening to his talk at Fjölbrautaskólinn. While … Continue reading
NEIN!-Idee (die echte Wahlalternative heißt “Nein”)
Michael König stellt die NEIN!-Idee vor Ich bette es sogar mal ein, aber falls mal wieder der Link ungültig werden sollte, hat’s dann wenigstens auch noch Suchbegriffe: Das Video ist jetzt noch nicht so hundertprozentig professionell, aber macht schon was … Continue reading
Merkozy is dead …
