Riev쎃스kyl쎃스n Ritu muistaa lauantain Tamperelaisen kolumnissaan Kostiaisen Juhan, V쎃스lim쎃스en Paulin ja minun nelj쎃스n vuoden takaista Viettelev쎃스 politiikka -teosta. Tamperelaisen n쎃스k쎃슶ispainos eli pdf l쎃슶ytyy t쎃스쎃스lt쎃스. Ritu taitaa olla osin ironinen asettaessaa muutoshakuisen kirjamme rinnakkain Tampereen uusien pormestari-kuvioiden ja XL-ryhm쎃스n kanssa. Tosin m쎃스쎃스 oon jo niin pihalla Tampereen kuvioista, etten edes tajua mit쎃스 Ritu ajaa takaa.
I know one is supposed to be cynical about these megabands getting together in their old days to make some bucks and remember the old times… Can’t do it now. Billboard, MTV and the rest are reporting that David Lee Roth is back in Van Halen for a tour of 40 dates later in the […]
Linz is the official “friendship town” of Tampere. In 1904 the Austrian Empire was on its last legs, degenerate by most accounts. Still Linz and Vienna managed to produce and educate some of the most (in)famous political and philosophical figures of the 20th century. Two of them pose here in a common school photo. How […]
Sotaveteraani k쎃스veli kuolemaansa tankin alla viime vuoden itsen쎃스isyysp쎃스iv쎃스n쎃스, sotilasparaatissa Jyv쎃스skyl쎃스ss쎃스. Teolla on oman tuntemattoman todellisuutensa lis쎃스ksi valtavia symbolisia merkityksi쎃스. Jotkin n쎃스ist쎃스 merkityksist쎃스 olivat ehk쎃스 tarkoitettujakin, niin t쎃스sm쎃스llisesti itsemurhan aika, paikka ja tapa oli valittu ja itse teko tehty. Mieleen tulee asioita kuten uhri, kone, liha, aika, paraati, mielenosoitus, protesti, pasifismi, sotilasteknologian sivuvaikutukset, itseys, itsen쎃스isyys, julkinen […]

In a recent video Torvalds talks about the change that has happened in recruiting new developers to the kernel community. The bar has risen “because we are so good”; it is harder to get involved while the software is already relatively polished. However, new talent is still coming in. Torvalds: I actually do statistics on […]
This idea is so crazy that it is good. Piratebay.org is proposing to buy the principality/nation/island/antiaircraftgunplatform Sealand. Donations are welcome, and currently stand at 13000 USD. The discussion is rampant here.
The EU Comission has published a report called, succintly, “Study on the Economic impact of open source software on innovation and the competitiveness of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector in the EU“.
