Computer makers sued over hard-drive size claims

Great class. People are upset that the disk capacity in gigabytes is in the decimal system, but computers work in the binary system. Dumbasses - the binary information on a 1024 basis would not be called gigabytes, but gibibytes. Specifying disk capacities in decimal basis is completely correct, as you can read for example at Wolfram Research. Here's the original article.

The future for Hesse's women is secure

Great prospects for women in Hesse. And of course Koch will announce his rubbish as an absolutely important program and of course he will demand that the same garbage is also done at the federal level.

Canned Meat

Just a warning: I'm still using an outdated version of POPFile. Jutta uses a newer one, but not Mailsmith, rather Mail.app - anyway, you can easily combine the two scripts. The main difference is that my script looks for a colon and space and uses what comes after as a link, while Jutta's version uses the text between a < and a > as a link. If someone could just tell me how to do string manipulation properly in AppleScript, I could clean up the somewhat cumbersome source a bit - because at the moment I'm breaking the string down completely into individual characters and working through them. Somehow inelegant.

What was nice, however, was that porting from MailSmith to Mail.app only required minimal changes. These standard dictionaries of Mac programs are really a fine thing ...

Great explanation. Unfortunately, that occasionally also drives away commenters of the human variety. Maybe an upgrade to a somewhat more powerful platform would make sense? Nochn Blogg. has the original article.
