I just read a small scientific essay about the possibility of election fraud in the last U.S. President election. Some scientists investigated the probably of changed votes of the election-computers. ( and hey, this is exactly what I do in one of my courses :) ) The result is that they could show a correlation between unormal many pro bush votes and the using of election-computers. Kinda ironic that the country which name itself the most democratic land seems to be quite the opposite... If everybody had a RSA Public-private Key-pair and would sign his vote with it, it might be a solution... and yes, I know that this will never happen :(

As you can see, this wave file (C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Audio\Wav\wmpaud2.wav) ends with a signature from Deepz0ne. People say that this is a member of the crackinggroup Radium and this serial was published by that group! The used program is, as you can see, Sound Forge 4,5.
So this might get Microsoft in some trouble!

The last day wasn't as good as I expected... Just a couple a ball-pens and stuff. But nobody is perfect g
Anyway, I also installed the new version of Serendipity... Just to remind other people that 0.7 is out =)
Yesterday and today I visited a fair at the university where companies introduced them-selves! I had a nice conversation with Diehl which was in the news the days before because some people thought that such company shouldn't be invited to a university ground because 1/3 of them is part of the defence industry... Anyway they are searching for physicist in there non-arms-industry parts! Most of the stuff inside a Bosch dish-washer might be from Diehl. And most of the wires insides a Pentium IV is also from Diehl... But after all the first day wasn't so good as you can see at the first pictures in the body!
1st day
So the first day only ended with around 19 ball-pens ( maybe some more I already used ), a bunch of notepapers, a small car and two thinks I forgot: a yo-yp and some mint-goodies!
2nd day
The second day started alone because all the others just thought to chill at our "fachschaft" ( physicist student chilling room ;) ).
So while grabbing a pen from the "Bundesamt für Wehrtechnik und Beschaffung" one of the "entertainer" started talking to me :)
But the conversation wasn't boring at all because I never thought of the advantages of being an "member of the state" ( beamter ) because you can't get fired and stuff...
BUT when I talked the others that there are beanbags the overrun me to get there!
After the first run I went to our cafeteria where I got some bags filled with other interesting stuff g
And I talked to two more companies! The first one produced piezo-motors and the second one was IBM ( they made this computer .) ) and it was quite interesting again. You wouldn't believe how less of your knowledge after 5 years of physics you'd need... At least IBM and Infenion would take advantage of your skills!
However, my total prey of the day is shown on the right :)
As you can see I tried to lay the pens and stuff of the Konaktiva that way that you can see the companies! Only two pens are different. That are the pen's of a stand which told me I'd have enough pens... ( Stupid *holes :) )
So I'm full of pleasant anticipation for tomorrow ( in 10 hours g )

Ana Johnsson - The Way I am
Favorite song: "6 Feet Under"
Ana started her career in a swedish girl-group 2002 but found soon out that she wanted to do rock-music! So this is her new ( and first? ) album!

At the moment they are suing 19 computer companies like Acer, Dell, IBM etc.! Just imagine what happens, if they win! "It's the end of the world as we know it" are singing people all around the world reported the channel R E M. ;)

Which File Extension are You?
This is a really deep psychological test! Just try it out! I got it from Sebastian...
some add on:
Which OS are You?
Was gibt es momentan nicht alles für Seiten, die über den Zerfall der deutschen Sprache zum Ausdruck bringen? Zuletzt bin ich auf deppenleerzeichen gestoßen. Dort geht es um die zunehmenden Trennung von Substantiven ohne Bindestrich. Eingeführt wurden diese der Seite nach, von Marketing Experten, welche einen Spruch aus Amerika falsch übersetzten. Anstelle das Produkt von anderen Produkten abzusetzen, setzten sie einfach den Produktnamen vom restlichen Teil des Wortkonstruktes ab. So entstehen interessante Sachen wie: Opel Partner ( Opel Astra und Opel Vectra kenne ich, aber den Partner muss mir noch jemand zeigen... ), Voll Milch, Western Klassiker oder es werden Mädchen für 3,99 zum Verkauf angeboten, während Jungs ausdrücklich vor dem Schild ausrutschen sollen!
