The Americans may possibly have plans in their desk drawers to turn Guantanamo Bay into a death camp with its own death row and execution chamber. That is, to judge and execute the prisoners right there without ever bringing them onto American soil - and without any possibility of adequate defense or even minimal public transparency about the proceedings. Perverse.

Of course - SCO wants to present the evidence first in the US proceedings against IBM, but is already brazenly claiming beforehand that Linux violates their property rights and that Linux users could potentially be breaking the law. Ridiculous. Not just the accusation, but also the approach: since they only want to present evidence in court, they make unproven claims beforehand. As if that's no big deal, spreading a little FUD isn't harmful, right? I hope that the courts in Germany won't participate in this circus and demand clear evidence from SCO, or at least ban these silly accusations.

Maybe Mehdorn will be removed now - after all, the whole thing happened under his leadership. That would certainly be a reason if 1.8 billion in losses are incurred, which apparently only result from incorrect billings to the federal government...

Steinbrück lacks grounding. Without the Greens, he won't be able to hold the state and will lose it to the Union. And that would be extremely fatal - even if the SPD in North Rhine-Westphalia is pretty much a mess and ossified, a Union government would cause even more damage. I don't understand why he wants to risk that just to show the small coalition partner who's boss. Especially since the Greens in North Rhine-Westphalia are really not particularly stressful for the SPD...

Well, SCO's action really doesn't seem particularly intelligent. It looks like the legal department didn't talk enough with the rest of the company. Maybe in the end SCO will have to sue itself and go bankrupt in the process?

Well. So far SAPDB was quite an interesting database alternative (ok, I like PostgreSQL much better, but whatever). But if the MySQL people start tinkering with it, that can only get worse. I wonder if they'll remove outer joins from SAPDB's SQL? And throw out transactions? Because nobody needs that anyway, as they used to argue back in the day

OK, the development environment is interesting and the implementation sounds good. Eiffel is a nice language (somewhat quite verbose, but in return also considerably more readable than, e.g., C++). And through the integrated tools, such an environment naturally offers more than just a bare compiler - CASE tools etc. are included.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, the price of 4800 US dollars is rather an argument against buying it. Sorry folks, but for that price I can get a fully equipped license for Allegro Common Lisp, and it offers considerably better comfort and considerably nicer language features and expressiveness than EiffelStudio.
And I find the price for Allegro Common Lisp already considerably too expensive...

Just on the monitor: the savings plans of the city of Cologne. Short version: everything that has any value at all is being stopped, cut, capped or canceled. That women's shelters, drug assistance programs, cultural scene, libraries, schools, public parks, streets and who knows what else are falling by the wayside is apparently not so important. To match this, it was also decided not to expand the corruption prevention department. Fits right in with the garbage clique.

Cool, in Matrix Reloaded, there's actually real hacking in a hack scene: first finding a host with nmap and then using an ssh exploit to break into the host. No more of the silly Stone Age login screens with nonsensical commands and ridiculous text, but a somewhat realistic situation with actual programs. Cool!

Minsky is right. Sure, today's AI solutions uncover credit card fraud: but they are narrow specialists. Only capable of attacking tightly defined problems.
The big goal, the creation of artificial intelligence (and dealing with the big picture and the overall question of what intelligence actually is) has receded into the background, replaced instead by a focus on details and fragments of the world.
Logically, there's money for this from the business sector - in times when government funding for research without a specific purpose is declining further and only purpose-driven private funding (or from the business sector) is available, researchers eventually have to deliver something as a result that can be put to use.
And that's why real AI research is falling by the wayside. We now understand in much greater detail how computers can solve partial areas. But do we know more about how intelligence actually works? How we can replicate such a thing with machines? No. That part has receded into the distant future.

It is of course not the fault of the pricing system, because that is Mehdorn's doing and Mehdorn knows everything and can do everything and is right anyway. Please dear Deutsche Bahn, revert the pricing system or correct it massively and throw Mehdorn out before his great plans completely ruin the railway.

In the Heise ticker, the true motivation behind the BMWi's open source activity is revealed: Linux is a "good bargaining chip" to also oblige Microsoft to adopt open interfaces and standards. "We're now getting everything delivered for free that we didn't even dare to wish for before," explained the government representative, alluding to Redmond's expanded Shared Source program and the recently granted discounts in licensing negotiations. They wanted nothing more. A bargaining chip for cost reduction. The BMWi never really understood the true purpose of open source — for example, the much more transparent software landscape with genuine verifiability of systems. That's exactly the problem that keeps coming up: companies decide on open source purely for cost reasons, then a dumping offer comes from Microsoft or another major vendor and — boom — open source is no longer a topic. And the real advantages are simply given up again.
The BMWi simply hasn't really learned anything from working with open source.
