Talking about food: researchers of the Leeds university (Great Britain) have found the formula for the perfect piece of toast. I do a bold prediction: by the year of 2123, every man will be able to create precious perfect toasts … Continue reading →

It’s probably (was?) the biggest commercial event in the Netherlands and it’s the HCC days (via Alfons). And to be honest, I have no idea what to think of it. In the late Eighties, early Nineties, we literally embarked on … Continue reading →

The BBC focusses on anti-semitism in Europe and asks 12 experts the unevitable question: is anti-semitism really on the rise in European countries? It is no surprise that nearly all experts mention the fact that too many people confuse criticism … Continue reading →

Looking through Internet archives for nothing particular I ran into this gem of a thread: ‘Will NT destroy UNIX?’ (scroll up to go to the start). 1994, mind you. Interesting (but old and now well known) computer tales about how … Continue reading →
