If you're running a free, open, wireless hotspot in Germany and someone (mis)uses your internet connection for, say, piracy, you're responsible.
In Germany you're responsible for...
* ... what people post on your forum or blog
* ... the content of external websites you link to (even tho they are not your websites)
* ... every crime committed using your free wifi hotspot
Worth wasting 2.5 minutes onThe very first IT professional.

If you own any hacker tool which "aim is to commit a crime"...
* nmap
* metasploit
* any penetration testing tool in general
* port scanners
* network analyzers? (hopefully not those too)
... you're signing up for one year in jail or a hefty fine.
That reads OWNING, not using, it's just OWNING.

Fast modulo operation using bitwise AND
If the divisor is a power of 2, the modulo (%) operation can be done with:
modulus = numerator & (divisor - 1);
This is about 600% faster.x = 131 % 4;
//equals:
x = 131 & (4 - 1);
the big brother state is an educational film about what politicians claim to be
protection of our freedom, but what we refer to as repressive legislation.
since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11,
governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which,
so the government say, should increase national security.
these laws obviously aim at another goal:
the states gaining more and more control
of their citizens at the cost of our privacy and freedom.
Solid freeform fabrication: DIY, on the cheap, and made of pure sugar
In February we gave a sneak preview of our project to construct a home-built three dimensional fabricator. Our design goals were (1) a low cost design leveraging recycled components (2) large printable volume emphasized over high resolution, and (3) ability to use low-cost printing media including granulated sugar. We are extremely pleased to be able to report that it has been a success: Our three dimensional fabricator is now fully operational and we have used it to print several large, low-resolution, objects out of pure sugar.
Seeing as the Zune was such a hit, Microsoft decided to repeat the success and tackle the iPhone before it even gets out the gate;
friends, we give you the Microsoft oFone.
Not to be outdone by Apple's multi-touch keyless interface, the oFone features not one or two,
but three keyboards that can all pivot about the small central screen. Need to bag some wild game for dinner?
No worries, oFone can do that too, simply extend the three arms (like in the pic above) and it apparently makes a decent boomerang.
We're loving where they're going with this idea -- cool and unusable, just how we like our fake phones.

After avoiding the 7 deadly sins of résumé design,
you may be asking, “If I can’t use crazy colors, clip art, and other types of decoration, how do I make my résumé stand out from the crowd?”
Like many things, the answer lies in the details.
Even if you can’t hire a fancy designer and are stuck with Microsoft Word,
a few tweaks can turn your blasé résumé into an elegant and functional showpiece.
Remember last week’s kerfuffle over whether the movie industry could own random 128-bit numbers? [...]
Now, thanks to our newly developed VirtualLandGrab technology, you can own a 128-bit integer of your very own.
Here’s how we do it. First, we generate a fresh pseudorandom integer, just for you. Then we use your integer to encrypt a copyrighted haiku, thereby transforming your integer into a circumvention device capable of decrypting the haiku without your permission. We then give you all of our rights to decrypt the haiku using your integer. The DMCA does the rest. [...]

xkcd
A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language
This comic is one of my daily stops, the humor is so nerdy it almost hurts.
I just love it. Especially since for quite some of those jokes you have to have quite some education to get them.
This is the latest comic, a map of online communities.
And there went quite some thought into it too. Note the compass rose and all the little details.
