… nicht die “bösen” Leute, die sich Musik herunterladen, sondern ihr selbst seid eure größten Feinde. Wie komme ich auf diese “abwegige” Idee? Nunja. Bis vor einigen Jahren habe ich Musik-CDs gekauft, weil ich daran glaubte, daß es gerecht sei … Continue reading →

Immer gut für einen Lacher: die große Koalition in Berlin

Posted on 2008-04-25 by Oliver

Wie Heise meldet, will sich die große Koalition bei der Bundesregierung dafür einsetzen “das Recht auf Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit weltweit durchzusetzen und der Internet-Zensur entgegentreten“. Wie wäre es denn dann im eigenen Land anzufangen? Ach ja, ich vergaß, im Grundgesetz … Continue reading →

An ethereal song …

Posted on 2008-04-25 by Oliver

“Diffamierung unseres Rechtsstaates als Überwachungsstaat”

Posted on 2008-04-23 by Oliver

Na, Herr Schäuble? Da haben Sie aber mal wieder ganz schön auf die Kacke gehauen mit Ihrem Vergleich? DDR-Vergleiche kommen ja zum Glück auch gleich nach Nazi-/Hitlervergleichen 😉 Heise schrieb – und zitiert Sie – wie folgt: Schäuble wies Kritik … Continue reading →

Klare Worte …

Posted on 2008-04-23 by Oliver

In einem Schreiben vom Finanzamt wird kein Blatt vor den Mund genommen, das ist schon klar. Aber die Tatsache daß ich nicht nur Bürger, sondern durch Bürokraten verzögert, erst jetzt an den steuerpflichtigen Besitz gelangt bin, hätte man vielleicht noch … Continue reading →

Little adventure with SourceForge’s CVS

Posted on 2008-04-21 by Oliver

In the scope of WinDirStat I had to take the little hurdle of branching in the past. Now, supposedly I could have simply opened a support request to the staff, but then I thought of it again, since I had … Continue reading →

Posted on 2008-04-16 by Oliver

Like this, for example. Description of the neighbor: Total, absolute jerk. Irresponsible. Lets his velociraptors roam freely around the neighbourhood. They ate two of my children, but thank goodness I have more or there’d be no one to put to … Continue reading →

Dümmliche Ausreden

Posted on 2008-04-16 by Oliver

Der Reispreis verdoppelt sich, Menschen verhungern und die einzige Ausrede in westlichen Medien ist, daß die Weltbevölkerung steige, Anbauflächen schrumpfen und Umweltkatastrophen den Preis ansteigen lassen. Kuhkacke! Das Problem sind vielmehr Spekulanten und die Tatsache, daß in westlichen Ländern Nahrung … Continue reading →

Posted on 2008-04-05 by Oliver

Although the manual is still perfectly valid for version 1.2.0a of DDKWizard and covers also older versions, I took the time to completely revise it. This means that it contains some updated information, some additional information and some corrections. If … Continue reading →

Existenzangst angebracht?
