: Neusprech (Oct 02 2003 11:59 GMT) - Schon in meiner Kindheit in den 70-ern wurde ich damit konfrontiert, dass es offenbar in meiner Familie Worte gab, die andere so nicht kannten. Denn was heute allgemein "zappen" heißt, nennt man bei den Gerlands seit jeher "Achtermann machen". "Mach mal Achtermann", sagte mein Vater, und schon stand ich auf und drückte nacheinander auf die Zahlen am Fernseher (damals gab's noch keine Fernbedienungen, ihr erinnert euch vielleicht). Forschungen ergaben, dass ein gewisser Herr Achtermann selig in den Sechzigern damit genervt hatte, dass er das gemeinsame Fernsehvergnügen durch ständiges Umschalten, immer dann, wenn er kurz den Raum verließ, trübte. Doch die Familien meiner Freunde wussten mit dem "Achtermann machen" leider nichts anzufangen. |

- Maine business leaders warned of mental illness' costs Portland Press-Herald story on an address by Dennis King, chief executive officer of Spring Harbor Hospital in South Portland, at a breakfast gathering of Portland-area business people. King asked the group to look around their tables and think about the fact that research indicates that one in four workers will suffer from a mental disorder this year, and asked them to "contemplate colleagues suffering from anxiety or depression or psychotic disorders.

- Last week US news, in their printed edition, had a cover story about "The new dating game, how internet matchmaking is revolutioning the single life". In that article there was attention to social network tools such as Johnathan Abrams' Friendster - which finds its basis on "four degrees of separation" rather than six degrees. Again, circles of buddies to recommend contacts (read:dates) uses transitive trust, but does not warrant a succesful outcome. |

- Nachdem es Anfang des Monats Heise schon vorangekündigt hat, ist es jetzt soweit: SCO hat SGI einen Brief geschrieben, auch SGI hätte illegalerweise SCO-Code in Linux eingefügt und deswegen drohe SGI ebenfalls der Entzug der Unix-Lizenzen. Klagen wolle man aber vorerst nicht, so McBride. SGI weist die Vorwürfe von sich, man hätte sämtlichen Code, den man in Linux einbaute vorher auf seine Lizenz geprüft und es wäre nur sowieso freier Code eingebaut worden. Details bei Inquirer, The Register, Golem und Pro-Linux. |
