Great. Abolishing public holidays. Of course, ones that are employee-friendly and either always fall on working days or - like May 1st - are a sore point for employers anyway. Somehow, all the great concepts these days only consist of taking away and scrapping. Maybe we should just scrap the politicians. Would save costs and be good for public health. That would be a real reform.

I see this with mixed feelings: on the one hand, it's great when Lego really focuses again on the classic bricks. After all, that's the part that makes Lego so brilliant. But if Mindstorms has to go away because of it, I'd find that a shame. Mindstorms is simply brilliant. Ok, the other computer kits are rather mediocre, but the original RCX kit is really great.
Fortunately, I already have two RCXs and enough small parts; I can already tinker quite a bit with them.

Instead of blaming each other, all the politicians involved could simply resign collectively. That would be a measure. But of course, the Union is never guilty of the mess it causes, it's always the others. We all just imagined the blockades in the Bundesrat and the mediation committee. Just like the fact that Rüttgers was actively involved. When I imagine that we could get this windbag and shirker as Minister-President, if Steinbrück ruins NRW even further and people don't want to see the SPD anymore, I feel sick. The talk of the devil and Beelzebub takes on completely new dimensions ...

Another superfluous politician. Not only does he want to forcibly expand data retention at providers, but he's also demanding that cryptography must have access points for police decryption. The Clipper Chip and similar harebrained ideas come to mind.

Because I just saw Dirk's costs, here's a tip for anyone wanting to set up blog services: take a close look at the different pricing plans from various providers! There are some that are significantly cheaper. I don't advertise often, but I want to give a shout-out to Hetzner, they provide me with an entry-level server for 40 euros per month with 100 GB traffic included. And the next larger plan comes in at 70 euros with 150 GB. With something like that, you can already do a lot more cool stuff without running out of money right away. Disclaimer: I don't have much more to do with them than having simon (the server that this all runs on) hosted with them.
