Hymen reconstruction? What else is next? Wouldn't it make more sense to fight against this cultural nonsense, the idea that a woman must be a virgin until marriage? But no, instead we're deceiving ourselves. It doesn't matter that the world has long been very different from what reactionary fools imagine, as long as appearances are maintained.

Once again something about the SCO case: someone from the Free Software community reports here about his visit to SCO and what he is allowed to tell about the whole story under the NDA. If his assessment is correct, then SCO has a bunch of nonsense there, but not much more. It remains interesting. However, I wonder when companies in the USA will finally start taking action against SCO's FUD campaign, as was the case in Germany with the preliminary injunction against SCO.
Anyone who deals with circuit simulation or is interested in it can find a graphical interface for Spice under the link, which allows you to operate the package in a somewhat more Mac-typical way. Spice is one of the most sophisticated systems for circuit simulation (so transistors, resistors, inductors and that sort of thing). Might be quite interesting for electronics hobbyists (for me it's not, I'm too stupid to hold a soldering iron the right way around).
Fitting for the summer slump, a nice dirty and disgusting affair. Isn't it nice how politicians are concerned about our boredom, right?
At tagesschau im Internet you can find the original article.
