eBay Happy to Give Away All Personal Info

A quite interesting article with discussion on Kuro5hin about statements from an eBay official regarding their practice of releasing data to law enforcement.

I also like the reference to the increased comfort that has been achieved with Linux.

RTL raises the stakes in poker over tour rights

Lucky. If I imagine having to watch the Tour on RTL, I feel sick. What on earth does RTL think they can do better? Their commentators are even worse than the already appallingly bad public broadcasters' commentators. Best to watch the Tour with the sound off anyway, but with RTL the constant commercial breaks would be even more annoying ...

We were there again today. Nice park, and the light was great. So here are the photos without much ado:
