Ars Technica tests Aperture - and is less impressed by the program than by the size of Apple's manhood:
Jumping headfirst into the fully mature digital imaging market requires the shameless bravado of a one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest or any number of contestants on So You Think You Can Dance?
That's quite a vivid expression.
Based on the description, I'll stick with iView MediaPro - it runs well on old machines and does almost everything Aperture does. And where it doesn't, external programs do. And I still find Aperture's system requirements obscene.
I'm sorry, but the judge at the Hamburg Regional Court apparently interpreted the current legal situation in a very strange way:
The panel explained that it was convinced that the publisher could be held liable for the contents expressed in the forum solely through dissemination, even without knowledge. After all, he could check the texts automatically or manually beforehand. The way the publisher operates the forum so far even potentially incites infringements, emphasized a judge. It was unacceptable that "those whose rights are violated have to chase after you". The publisher's objection that automatic filtering had proven not to work and that manual checking of each contribution was simply not feasible given over 200,000 postings per month was not accepted by the panel.
It's strange that the legislator wrote something completely different into the law - which explicitly only requires knowledge for action. And this absurd belief in technology, that something like this can be automatically filtered out - the judge certainly did not demonstrate technical competence.
Hopefully Heise will defend itself appropriately against this and hopefully fare better than, for example, in the "Link to Brenner Software" story ...
Paj's Home: Cryptography: JavaScript MD5: sha1.js - JavaScript implementation of SHA1 - practical if you want to avoid plaintext passwords in web forms. Of course, you should always have a fallback, because not everyone has JavaScript available or activated. The site also has MD5 and MD4 implementations and a few other snippets on the topic.
To those involved in the investigations by federal authorities:
As Schäuble explained, currently, for example, the Federal Criminal Police Office can only intervene if there is a "criminal procedural initial suspicion." This condition is to be abolished. Schäuble justified this by saying that the path from the intelligence service's findings via the state police to the BKA is too cumbersome.
And what do you think, will these special rights be used only for combating terrorism? Or are the control functions that still exist in the executive gradually being lost?
It's nice how the Union and the SPD agree on the curtailment of civil rights and the curtailment of control functions ...
