Hey, the WDR is advertising OpenOffice!

At WDR.de you can find the original article.

Christian Fundamentalists on the Rise

Found at Shock Wave Rider: an article in the Guardian about the quiet (or not quite so quiet) advance of creationists and other distortions of science in America. The new tactic is to attack weak points in established theories and through the back door open the same to absurd theories. It's shocking that such things actually find resonance in the scientific community and in education, and are even partially supported by law...

Hands up, who believed that with the third millennium perhaps a time of reason could dawn? Fooled.

At Der Schockwellenreiter I found the original article.

Jan Ullrich in good form

Getting off to a good start. Now it'll really be exciting to see how he positions himself in the Tour. Of course, he certainly won't have a chance against Armstrong this year, but it'll be interesting to see how he compares with other top riders (who would that be this year? Beloki again?).

I found the original article at tagesschau im Internet.

New risk assessment required

This could indeed represent a decisive turning point in assessing radiation risks.

At Telepolis News I found the original article.

Paul Graham speculates about programming languages in 100 years

Nice thoughts from Lisp Guy No 1 (ok, he's had the title only since Guy L. Steele defected to the Java camp).

Here's the original article.

Spring - I Don't Laugh

Spring - don't make me laugh

Frühling - das ich nicht lache

I wonder if the daffodils are cold?

Ok, that reconciled me again...

Ok, that reconciled me again ...

Ok, das hat mich aber wieder versöhnt ...

... one is unpretentious, a few blooming trees and you forget that your ass is freezing.
