Hama's New High-Current Battery
Nice. My Sony DSC-W12 is powered by 2100mA NiMH batteries - but nobody wants to pay for the original Sony ones. There were two sets of two batteries included, but eventually batteries give up the ghost and then it's practical to have replacements on hand.
At heise online news you can find the original article.
Playboys Open Source Mirror
Weird. Playboy (yeah, the magazine with too little money for clothes for their models) also operates servers. And they're run by admins. And they thank the Open Source Community with a mirror of various projects.
The mirror server has a pretty bare-bones design, by the way.
Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii
I think I had this one before, but the link is so great that it's worth showing more often. Slides. In color. From 1909 - 1915. Made from photographs taken with three color filters and reconstruction of the color slide from these three black and white negatives. Very beautiful images among them.
Elections in Brandenburg and Saxony
A damning indictment of the established parties that the right-wing scum could get so many votes. Certainly one cause should be the absurd equating of the right-wing scum with the PDS - under the title "protest parties". Disgusting.
Just as ridiculous is the silly elevation of the election campaign to federal issues by the Union and the FDP - if you don't have a regional program, you just make polemics your campaign. And you get the bill in the form of NPD and DVU in the state parliament. Because polemics and stupid braggadocio in election campaigns always benefit those whose campaigns can only be built on brown polemics anyway due to lack of concrete programs. From the top candidates, of course, you only heard criticism of the federal government and of course criticism of the PDS and voters regarding the rightward shift in parliament. One has to evaluate one's own defeats first, and then everything is quickly turned around so that one is of course in no way guilty.
