  1. Re:Why do I keep reading things in such statements on German Chancellor Proposes European Communications Network · · Score: 1

    If she was honest about wanting the US spying to end she'd first of all ferret out and shut down the various spying locations still scattered across Germany. It's not like the US never had bases there or shut them all down...

    Are you serious? Germany does not have the power to shutdown such locations. We are still being occupied by the U.S. military.

  2. Sure they can on Microsoft Denies the Windows Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Even if they cannot (which is ridiculous), a "Security Update" via Windows Update will surely help them deactivate any "illegal" copy.

  3. SuSE involved too on Germany, IBM Sign Major Linux Deal · · Score: 3, Informative

    The BBC article does not mention the fact, that SuSE is actually involved in this deal. The German Linux Distributor will deliver its Linux software while IBM will manage the IT infrastructure.

  4. external variables on PHP 4.2.0 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    External variables (from the environment, the HTTP request, cookies or the web server) are no longer registered in the global scope by default.

    Umm... I'm not sure about others but to me this sounds like a *very* radical change in PHP's behaviour. I updated to PHP 4.2.0 on my server and not a single script worked because PHP simply ignored the variables. For example SquirrelMail didn't even show the login page.

    Does someone know how to enable the old behaviour?

  5. Re:Netcraft? on Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    Netcraft reports "uIP/pre-0.7 (http://dunkels.com/adam/uip/) on unknown", you just got the wrong URL.

    http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?mode_u=off& mo de_w=on&site=tfe.c64.org

  6. Vandyke.com on Good SFTP Clients? · · Score: 1

    For Win32 I can recommend SecureFX from Vandyke

  7. Re: Self-Heating Can on Self-Heating Can · · Score: 1

    I remember these cans have been available here in Germany but they have been taken from the market because they didn't sell that good. Not because of the product itself but its bad marketing so the consumers didn't know about the cans. Doh!

  8. simplicity is almost always better in engineering on It's Not About Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    I don't agree with that. It often is "better" (to use this expression) to not use regular expressions for example but a self-written routine that does the same task. The code might not be that small but it might be much faster. I (and the system running the software) would prefer this over the simplicity.

  9. Re:jhg on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 1

    while whales aren't fishes =)
