0190 operator warns Dialerschutz.de

Where we're on the subject of lawyers and their dubious dealings. It's not a violation of anything if a lawyer lends his name as Admin-C for something like malvorlagen.de. But of course it is a violation of the Legal Advice Act if one offers forums in which those affected by precisely this offer - as it exists on malvorlagen.de, for example - can exchange information.

Allergies

Little known, according to Huffnagle, is that the gut is also involved in immune defense against respiratory diseases. Pathogens arriving in the airways are transported by the cilia of the bronchial mucosa toward the pharynx and swallowed from there.

For someone with chronic allergies, finally a glimmer of hope - because previous allergy medications are either chemical sledgehammers or symptom suppressants.

Jim Jarmusch Again

How those old mafiosi discuss rappers, Native Americans and their names - hilarious absurd dialogues. And then there's the ice cream vendor with the speech problem. How can anyone come up with such crazy characters? Brilliant.

Justice Minister Defends Software Patents

What stupid drivel from Zypries. Show me the open source project or small company that can afford patent proceedings - let alone the later enforcement if one of the large corporations grabs the subject. Conversely, large corporations will use the patents to block others. That won't create jobs. Except perhaps for patent lawyers ...

Survey: Germany Popular Among Top Managers

Of course. Where else can you achieve such high results with such cheap lies as here (wild rationalizations, idiotic high salaries and million-dollar severance packages for failed executives) ...
