Breaking News for sky afficionados: Apophis risk not increased - because the nonsense (originally - where else - appeared in the Blödzeitung) is now going around the world and I already have American acquaintances writing to me about the "math genius from Germany" and the impending end of the world, here is a link that tells how the whole nonsense came about. Quality journalism, of course.
Infection tool for SQL Server and IIS - interesting story. The attacks are becoming more professional.
Church employers want no minimum wage - plain language: the business model of Caritas and Co. is also based on the uninhibited exploitation of employees. And instead of standing up for themselves, they demand state support, which ultimately means nothing more than subsidization. And this from stores that are already massively subsidized (e.g. through their non-profit status and the resulting tax advantages).
Lighthouse - also does dynamic port forwarding on the router, but with more options to define things and, for example, bind them to certain applications. However, it is not free, but shareware.
NASA Extends Saturn Mission for Another 2 Years - it would be pretty stupid to end it now.
Port Map and TCMPortMapper - a nice little tool that can open ports on routers (provided that the router supports corresponding protocols for remote control). Useful for temporarily making services on your own computer accessible from the internet.
Sleep - Java Scripting Language - if anyone really misses Perl in the Java world, they could check out this project. Linked purely for nostalgic reasons, as I used to rely on Perl for a few years.
The iPhone SDK and free software: not a match - a reason why GPLv3 is good, no matter what some (otherwise quite popular) idiots say. Because exactly this problem - the effective blockade of open source through codesigning - is addressed by the GPLv3.
