At some point in the early 20th century there was a strike among the Danish bakers. Seeing possibilities for a career many foreign bakers immigrated to Denmark. In one small bakery in Copenhagen worked an apprentice baker recently immigrated from Vienna. One day, it is said, he had forgotten to add butter to the dough of the tea cakes he was making.
A popular cake in the Turkish area of the old Ottoman Empire was the Baklava, square and made from layers of dough and butter and served in syrup. Since the whole of the Balkans was part of the Ottoman Empire for almost halv a millennia much of the Turkish culture spread all the way up to Vienna.
The bakerboy, having seen this Turkish cake solved the butter-in-the-dough problem by applying the butter on top of the flat dough, and then fold the whole thing. The new creation proved to be a success and quickly got the name Wienerbrød, Vienna-bread, after the bakerboy.
In Scandinavia it is still called Wienerbrød, but in the German-speaking world it got the name Kopenhagener Gebäck. After all; it was baked in Copenhagen! The English-speaking world followed this idea and started calling it Danish (Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark, as you probably know). Hence the name issue.
The ideal Danish is made up of 24 layers of dough with 23 layers of butter in between. It doesn't require as much counting as one may think: you simply make three layers of dough and butter and fold it three times. Voila: 24!
The first one being intended to become a tea cake, the typical danish is round and flat. But of course there are variations. It is normally filled with some sort of sweets; chocolate, vanilla créme, icing of varying colours and flavours, fruits or berries et cetera.
Over time the Danish has become something of a national flavour of Denmark, alongside the Smørrebrød and the beer. Should you visit Copenhagen at some point in your life I advice you to take a walk down to Nyhavn, enter a small café, buy a Danish and a cup of coffee and savour the moment in the sunny harbour.
In The Netherlands (and also the UK), a person can be forced to assist the authorities to decrypt information (i.e. supplying them with the key). If you refuse to cooperate, you could face a hefty fine, or be put in prison (depending on whether the police, or the intelligence services give the order).
Heh, it still probably beats going to jail for whatever the police/intelligence services may have found on you harddrive.
This reminds me of an article about Altavista (rip) in some swedish magazine a couple of years ago. They actually distributed content to their mirrors by airplane because they didn't have enough bandwith (this was in the nineties, when 56k was fast).

What do you think happens? Their radios dont work, thats what happens.
Actually, this only works if you have already added "rpm http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/3/i386 stable unstable testing" to /etc/yum.conf
Really intuative...
I hope this will lead to new safer and better recreational drugs as well.
This box plugs into a broadband connection. It contains unbreakable DRM.
Yeah... That'll happen..

Torrentbits har resurrected at torrentbits2.org and torrentbytes.net
"This guy should not be a sys-admin. First, he uses an IDE cable that is out of spec in a production server."
The guy clearly says that he only used out of spec IDE cables on his workstation.
I use prefbar with Firefox, and it allows me to put a little "Proxies" checkbox on the toolbar. Works great with tor.
Clickable link
Aaah, the possibilities of html.
Yeah, beacuse the MPAA doesn't already know what torrent sites exist.

I wonder if there is anyplace you can download in game scenes like that in video form. That would be cool.
You can, just read TFA
The pirate bay hit a new record last Sunday. Over 100.000 registered users, and over 1.000.000 peers.
Now based on the new security enchanced version of Internet Explorer!
Just in case you didn't know, nobody gives a fuck.
People download music from sites like allofmp3 because they don't have to worry about *AA. Not to do the "right thing".
grovel at someone's feet to let them browse under another login id
Maybe they'll just go to the local $evil_person (drugdealer, pimp, vb-coder, terrorist, choose one) and grovel at his err... feet...
You never know.
I wonder how those firewalls treat http://mirrors.playboy.com/ :) (office safe, really)
Yeah, seems like it :)
What? This guy over at thepiratebay.org told me office was free...
There is also GPass for Gnome and PwManager for KDE
a TRUPE!
Can anyone confirm if this really works?
My new jacket confirms it.

No, poor people are having more children than rich people. The amount of money in your bank account doesn't reflect your "intelligence".
If you want to go "doctor shopping", Cuba might be a very good idea. It's closer then the former soviet union and the health care is top stuff.
