It will always come out eventually - but they all complained in Germany that the strict guidelines were bad for research, that others - for example Korea - were much further ahead and not hindered by silly regulations, and that we would all endanger the research location Germany.
And it was only about who lies better.
Schneier on Security: Internet Explorer Sucks
MSIE was 98% unsafe. There were only 7 days in 2004 without an unpatched publicly disclosed security hole. [...] This underestimates the risk, because it doesn't count vulnerabilities known to the bad guys but not publicly disclosed (and it's foolish to think that such things don't exist). So the "98% unsafe" figure for MSIE is generous, and the situation might be even worse.
Autsch. 7 Tage ohne veröffentlichtes Loch mit passendem Exploit. Und Leute benutzen diesen Müllhaufen immer noch ...
And while we're on the topic of Speculoos (which also fits the season): Leica wants to build a Digital M. There have been rumors and considerations for a long time, but this is quite concrete in the LFI. Sounds very good - a digital M-body would definitely be something I would find exciting. However, I will probably find the price of a digital M less exciting, so I should just keep buying film until I have saved enough from the film material to cover the price of a digital M, which would probably take a few centuries.
Soon there will probably really be Zeiss lenses for Nikon - the images certainly don't look like fakes. Okay, on January 18th we will know for sure, but it already looks very likely that Nikon will become the new Contax. Maybe there will also be optics with Canon adapters in the long run. On the other hand, I am very satisfied with my Canon macros and at least in that area I have nothing to complain about. Nevertheless, some of the Zeiss lenses on a digital camera would of course be quite nice - especially if they are well integrated (the adapter solutions for Canon are unfortunately only suboptimal).
simple_json 1.0 - Alternative to json.py with fewer quirks (therefore with a sociopath as a programmer - but you can't have everything. In this case, functional code is more important than friendly tone).
Just in time for the Christmas season, one of the small Strelitzias has bloomed - actually a bit early, Jutta had expected this in two years. And due to the poor lighting conditions, the individual flowers have faded quite quickly. It's still beautiful, though.
