Programming, reverse engineering and anything else as well …
… wo der Mensch wieder Mensch sein darf. Denn laut Tim O’Reilly, dem Verleger welcher den Begriff des Web 2.0 geprägt hatte, geht es darum im Web 2.0 dem Kunden noch mehr zu dienen. Schön verpackt, wurde damit einigen Enthusiasten etwas verkauft was man auch gut “die endgültige Kommerzialisierung des Internet” hätte nennen können. Klingt natürlich nicht ganz so peppig. Sorry, Tim, aber ich will mehr sein als nur ein Kunde.

Nun da die GDL von der deutschen Jurisprudenz die Erlaubnis erhielt auch den Güter- und den Fernverkehr zu bestreiken, bin ich mal gepannt wie sie damit umgehen und wieviel “volkswirtschaftlicher” Schaden dabei entsteht …

Today, searching for references to DDKWizard, I found that several people have posted misleading information in response to others recommending DDKWizard. For the most part they are recommending to use the DDK/WDK build environment. Bravo. That’s just what DDKWizard does, except that DDKWizard makes it a breeze to create and configure such projects. The magic behind DDKWizard is not the Visual Studio compiler and linker, but one of the OSR DDKBUILD scripts. This makes projects created with DDKWizard as portable as any other DDK/WDK project but leaves the developer with the option to work on the project conveniently from within the Visual Studio IDE.
So no worries, using DDKWizard will not use the Visual Studio compiler and linker (something that Microsoft advises against, when developing drivers), but will instead use the DDK/WDK build environment.
Feedback and project template contributions are generally appreciated.

After purchasing a new notebook, a friend convinced me to test Ubuntu on it. Since I am a Debian fan and Ubuntu is based on Debian, he didn’t have a hard time convincing me. So after figuring out the correct boot parameters (heck, why doesn’t it do this on its own?), I was able to start and install the system.
For the most part it went smoothly, but I had to choose manual partitioning since I didn’t want the partitioner to fiddle with my setup. Apart from some minor issues at a point where I hadn’t figured out the correct boot parameters, this was easy. So I set up boot, root and swap partitions. After that the installation went through.

Paul Tibbets, you ask? Yes, Paul Tibbets was the commander of the Enola Gay which dropped the first nuclear bomb in recorded human history over an inhabited area. The man became 92 years old before he died 2 days back in his home, but despite his age - it seems - he grew no wiser:
If you give me the same circumstances, hell yeah, I’d do it again. (quote from 2005)
He only took orders, you say?! True, but after seeing the misery he created for Japanese at this moment in history as well as until now through the abnormities created by the lasting radiation he could have expressed regret. Too late for him now.

Nun endlich auch mit Fingerabdruck. Wie, Sie finden, daß das übertrieben sei und sie würden sich so wie ein Verbrecher fühlen. Das ist natürlich Pech. War lange genug im Gespräch. Nun kommt Ihre gespielte Empörung etwas zu spät.
Der ePass schmeckt übrigens am besten heiß. Zubereitung in der Mikrowelle wir empfohlen. Aber ich übernehme natürlich keine Haftung für die Mikrowelle
