Interior Minister Schäuble wants to overturn the principle of presumption of innocence - Wheelchair Rambo in full swing. 24 in the Bundestag. Say goodbye to the rule of law. Particularly cute: Those who characterize his plans for constitutional amendments as an attack on the constitution would be defaming him: "Those who claim the opposite are playing a vile game with me." - ah, so it's about him? And not about preserving what our constitution guarantees us?

Court confirms liability of the Admin-C - good, because the sham entries that are taking place there are highly absurd. And that a lawyer wants to talk his way out of it is quite amusing (one would have expected a lawyer to have a better understanding of the situation).
Kamelia - interesting concept: component programming in Python. Components are operated in parallel via threads and communicate via a simple pipe interface. Similar to the Unix shell, but for high-level objects and within a programming language.
PragDave: Adding Concurrency to Our Erlang Program - second round. Not really practical code - the application can overload the Amazon Webservice and block your own key - but nice as a demo of how to convert sequential code into parallel. Where the hint about pmap as an alternative is not entirely unimportant ...
QuickCheck: An Automatic Testing Tool for Haskell - an interesting approach to automatic testing. The properties of functions are stored directly in the code and the test does not simply test predefined test cases, but runs through the property definitions with randomly generated values.
(The Scheme Way): Erlang or Gambit-C/Termite? A practitioner's perspective - Erlang wins the comparison. Some good points - especially Erlang's infrastructure is simply better and more mature.
"What the fuck is informationelle Selbstbestimmung!?” - PDF from the ASTA of FH Münster.
Wings3D - is written in Erlang. Here is the evidence as a link to the source repository. I didn't know that before - a 3D modeler, written in a functional language.
