German Bundestag advocates for regional top-level domains - yes, no, of course. Because something.bayern is so much easier than something.bayern.de - which has been possible for a long time but hasn't been done because all the states basically dropped the ball and some of the idiots sold their domain to some shops. Sorry, but all the whining about "we just want our own pathetic and completely useless top-level domain" is really getting on my nerves. The people from the very last row in the Bundestag can finally act like big politicians because there's nothing more important than the fox tail for the DSL modem ...

Interior Ministry blocks release of Buback files - and of course, one immediately wonders what is in the files that they should not be given to their own federal prosecution service ... the refusal means that these files "would cause disadvantages to the well-being of the Federation or a German state". Hmm. Very interesting.

SPD: Decision for online search has been made - "I do, however, have the hope that the Constitutional Court will re-interpret the significance of the right to informational self-determination in the age of the internet. This is relevant for all security authorities." - I, on the other hand, have the hope that the Constitutional Court will verbally kick the proletharians in Berlin's ass.
