Microsoft security
Sheesh!
It is of course a well-known fact that Microsoft cares a great deal about security. I mean, there are so very few bugs in Internet Explorer, Windows is renowned for its stability, Microsoft always realeses security updates and patches (for the few bugs that might perhaps sometimes occur) very quickly. It’s just… perfect!
But just as the “solution” to an earlier problem, I wrote about, they have again come up with a great idea: they will give the standard user in Longhorn more rights, in the hope that people will less often log in as Administrator.
Oookay… so you give the users more rights, so that they will have less rights… But at least, even normal users will now have enough rights to f*ck up the system!
Oh well, as if Microsoft ever really got an idea about user rights and permissions.
I mean, “registry” — need I say more? OK, how about “Windows\System” directory?

TATATATA
No, this is NOT the 3rd part of the Hitchhiker’s Guide.
This is the name of the theater show we went to yesterday: TATATATA by Hans Liberg. A great entertainer. Music and comedy. He seamlessly combines classical music with old folk and modern pop songs. Liberg really is a marvel at the piano.
The name of the show refers to the opening piece. TA TA TA TA, Beethoven’s 5th, · · · —. You know what I mean – everybody knows it.
TRATEOTU
Yes, I finished reading part two: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Another book full of nonsense! In this book we learn about the end of the universe and that people come visit Milliways – the restaurant at the end of the universe – to watch the whole show.
In this restaurant, you can meet the Dish of the Day: May I interest you in parts of my body? Something off the shoulder perhaps?
After ordering, the animal walks back into the kitchen: Very good, I’ll just nip off and shoot myself.
On the Heart of Gold space ship, however, the Cybernetics Corporation Nutri-Matic Drinks Synthesizer still cannot produce tea.
“Share and Enjoy” is the company motto of the hugely successful Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Complaints Division, which now covers the major land masses of three medium-sized planets and is the only part of the Corporation to have shown a consistent profit in recent years.
gmail turns one
Darn!
Just yesterday, I was pleased to see that I had finally reached 50% usage of my Gmail storage space.
But today, Gmail turns one, and to celebrate that, they’re increasing the storage space for every user!
To celebrate our one-year birthday, we’re giving everyone one more gigabyte. (…) Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able.
So, unfortunately, I am already down to 45% by now… No, 44%… and dropping.
