Credibility… It’s the only currency that means anything on this kind of playing field. Dean’s got the tape, and he’s gonna come out with it. And when he does, I want his credibility. I want people to know he’s lying before they hear what he says. That’s a quote from the 1998 movie ‘Enemy of […]
Read MoreI was wathcing the news yesterday, and there was a piece on the government supporting teachers getting the right to go through students bags and such while at school. I think this is a horrible idea. Let me tell you why. Traditionally, a person and his property are his. You need probable cause to search […]
Read MoreFirst I want to talk a little bit about airport security. This was the first trip that I was ‘nude-scanned’. The scanner was at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. The device doing the scanning is a ProVision ATD. The type of scanner this is, is a millimeter-wave scanner. Unlike the X-ray backscatter type machines, […]

Read MoreIn Finland we now have a record six party rainbow coalition government. I wish rainbow would imply certain things, but alas, it does not. I basically had three points that were very important to me during the last parliamentary election: We don’t stop building nuclear power (if needed), but also don’t stop developing alternative energy.

Read MoreThis is by no means a new phenomena or anything, but it caught my eye.. or ear i should say, when i was listening to the latest episode of the Linux Action Show (Season 15, episode 3). There was a mention of the curious Apple-bias that many tech sites seem to have; the one mentioned […]
Read MoreHandshakes and hugs all-around? No. I’ll stray from my regular technical writing for a moment, to adress an issue that is very much in the public eye at the moment here in Finland. It all started on a sad and rainy tuesday, the 12th of October. YLE (our state television channel) showed a program called […]
Read MoreAssembly 2010 is over and done. Thursday through Sunday was spent at Hartwall Arena, the biggest hockey arena in Finland. Assembly is, to my knowledge, the biggest demo-scene party in the world. It’s also basically (and some would say today, more) a LAN party.
