I'm worried about the internet in Germany. Why? There will be a new law soon that gives the federal police of Germany the power to make any site on the web unreachable to the unskilled user. At the same time noone is allowed to see which sites were blocked this way. It might be something illegal today - and tomorrow CNN.com. Even worse, if you try to load one of these blocked pages, you are tracked by the police which might then start to investigate you. By the way: Click!. Yes, if I wanted to, you would be a suspect now, too (unless you were too clever to click on every damn link). And the woman behind all that has the perfect argument: This is only to protect children from perverts. Funny, even the police themselves said that this law won't help anything in that direction. It will, however, make the internet a place of fear. And politicians still wonder why young people don't trust the state anymore.
Well, we can still hope that the state magistrates stay as skilled regarding IT as today...
And this disclaimer is now actually necessary (which proves: they win :( ): I am, as anyone, against child pornography. Fight these bastards! But stasi-like fear-censorship is not the way.
More info is here on "zensursula.net". This is not paranoia or conspiration-bullshit. We are losing freedom again. And most times in history, there was no peaceful way to get it back..

Anyway, this is what I stumbled over:

Mum already shouted it (see on the left) and here is my confirmation: Did my last exam again with no complaints from my examinant. He even seemed a little disappointed by that ("Now tell me what you wouldn't have known!") ;)
So, just a presentation of my diploma thesis on Thursday and I'm officially a "Dipl. Medinf." :)

I just figured out that one of my favorite ways to decide which of two alternatives is right, democratic Googling, may not be such a good idea. For a moment there, I wasn't sure anymore, if Schwarzenegger is the governor of California or Florida - so I decided to ask Google and compare the results - and here it is:
That's right, there are two million more hits for Florida. Guess, he's got to move, right? Or maybe, I should look for new ways to find the truth.

Another exam aced :) Just one more and I go straight from cool, cruising living of a student to being a responsible and valued member of society. That's a good thing, right?
