Typical Tarantino

“Django Unchained” isn’t for the faint-hearted because between all the funny scenes there is plenty of blood and gore1. I loved Christoph Waltz’ sterling performance already within the first few minutes, but Jamie Foxx was also brilliant in his role. … Continue reading

“Experten”

In meiner Funktion als “Jan” treffe ich immer wieder auf Rechner die etwas mehr Liebe von ihren Besitzern und den Möchtegern-Experten, die sie betreuen, vertragen könnte. “Experte” scheint ohnehin ein überbewerteter Begriff zu sein. Besonders hier in meiner Heimatstadt, Forst. … Continue reading

Religions of peace?

Most institutionalized religions, especially the proselytizing ones, seem to take an issue with criticism of any kind. Not that one should consider it criticism what I saw in the first few minutes of that unspeakable “Mohammed movie trailer”, but the … Continue reading

I’m in love

While many fans were disappointed when Tarja left Nightwish and considered it a “downgrade” of the style and music, the opposite is true for Xandria. It’s a German band and their new singer, Manuela Kraller, has a formal training just … Continue reading

Entzückend …

Copyleft vs. BSD …

An age-old fight, I know. Leaning more towards the BSD-side, I just came across the following sentence today on Wikipedia: In response, GPL supporters claim that the freedom of others to make non-free software from free software is an unjust … Continue reading
