UEFA is being cheated by NOS

Oever  | 
The Dutch like it cheap. We do not like rules. That's just the way we are. The people at NOS are no different.

We've fallen into a trap and can't get out, help!

Krake  |

In Need of a Geeko?

Beineri  | 
I am a proud owner of a Geeko. Those seemed to be out of stock and not produced anymore. But now I spotted a first merchant which promises new Geekos for second half of 2008 - and not only a 35cm version but also a 120cm big one! :-) That's of course still not as huge as the mother of all Geekos in the SUSE office in Nuremberg.

Using the European championship to spread malware

Oever  | 
Microsoft is pushing their evil SilverLight platform very hard. They want to make sure that providers of cross-platform software for delivering rich applications via the web browser are thwarted. This is normal behavior for a monopolistic company and certainly for Microsoft. To accomplish this goal they are throwing around bucketloads of money and FUD to get content providers to use the Microsoft malware Silverlight exclusively. Read More

KDE Everywhere

Dipesh  | 
Isn't it funny if you browse around the web and keep on to run into all those Eee-PC clones out there and note that nearly all of them are running KDE@Linux. Yet other examples I did run into are the Acer Aspire One and the ultra-mini PC. Both are running Linpus (a for small displays optimized GNU/Linux-distribution based on Fedora 8 ) with the "Friendly KDE desktop environment" :) Read More
