Aus der Reihe: Dinge, die ich eigentlich nicht wissen wollte … in German

“Selbst für den schlimmsten Fall ist an Bord vorgesorgt: Ein spezielles Staufach ist groß genug, um eine Leiche aufzubewahren.” [Aus einer Reportage über den Non-Stop Flug der Singapore Airlines von New York nach Singapur.]

Moving Again

I have now moved all of tuxtina.de to a different provider. If you see this
entry it means that the changes in DNS have propagated. I really hope I haven’t
constructed ugly mail loops or similar stuff in the process. And if you
notice any dead links, please let me know.

Update: My old provider refused to accept mail for me from the second they changed the DNS entries. Which means some mail may have been bounced back to you in the time between the DNS entry being changed and the caches being refreshed (starting Monday 11am).
If you tried to email me on or after Monday Sept 6 2004, and the email bounced
back, please resend it later. Thanks.

Die Kraft der vier Herzen? in German

Spiegel meldet, dass Bill Clinton einen Herzschrittmacher bekommt. Einen vierfachen sogar! Nur seltsam, dass die englischsprachigen News-Seiten alle von einem vierfachen Bypass reden ;-)

Spiegel Schnipsel

Und neben medizinischen Kuriositäten hat Bill Clinton heute offenbar auch noch mit einer neuen Frau namens Hillyr aufzuwarten …

No User-Serviceable Parts Inside?

iMac G5 inside

Apparently not with the new iMac G5:
Two new Apple Knowledge Base documents indicate users can replace almost all parts themselves (including the LCD and the mainboard), and detect the cause
of hardware failures using diagnostic LEDs. (AppleInsider)

In case you’re still in the earlier stages of getting familiar with your new
iMac, Apple also provides you with instructions on how to pick it up ;-) (DasGenie: !Scrap)

The Most Important Switcher Question

Can I run Solitaire on a Mac?

Apple’s switcher website devotes
an entire page to that subject :-)

In the unlikely case of Solitaire not being the most important app for
potential switchers, there’s also side-by-side comparisons of over a dozen
more applications on that page. I guess they forgot Minesweeper, though ;-)
