Städtisch geprüftes Cannabis
Vor ca. 2 Monaten forderte der CDA Fraktionschef noch das totale Verbot von Verkauf und Anbau von Cannabis, die Antwort vieler Gemeinden kam prompt: Sie wollen selber anbauen.
Die CDA, entspricht in Deutschland der CDU, wollte ein komplettes Verbot und versprach sich mit diesem populistischen Ausspruch eine Lufthoheit bei den Stammtischen, bei einer Umfrage allerdings sprachen sich über 60 Prozent der Niederländer gegen ein Verbot aus, darunter auch viele CDA Wähler und jede Menge Nicht-Konsumenten.

Almost a fifth of Amsterdam's popular marijuana-selling coffee shops will be closed down because they are too close to schools, the city council said Friday.
Of the 228 coffee shops in the Dutch capital, 43 must close by the end of 2011 because they are within 250 meters of a school, the council said.

Scientists attack plan to upgrade cannabis
Government plans to overrule its own drug advisers and reclassify cannabis as a more dangerous substance are attacked by leading scientists and MPs in a letter to the Guardian today.
The home secretary, Jacqui Smith, intends to move cannabis from class C to class B, where it will sit alongside amphetamines, such as speed, and barbiturates. The move comes despite repeated recommendations from the government's drug advisers that its classification should not be upgraded.

Segway inventor touts island as an energy model
Energy independence is still only a hypothetical goal for the U.S., but the owner of a tiny island off the coast of Connecticut says he has already achieved that feat and is offering his work as a model.
Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway and numerous medical devices, jokingly refers to his North Dumpling Island as an independent nation and himself as Lord Dumpling. Kamen claims to have his own currency and offers visas to visitors to the tiny island a few miles from Mystic, where he is the only resident.

"Den ORF verschenken, aber nicht an Raiffeisen"

Und gab der ORF-Führung ein "Nicht Genügend": "Dieses Personal ist sofort nach Hause zu schicken."

Kein unabhängiger Datenschutz in Deutschland und den USA
Bereits berichtet wurde von den Verhandlungen zwischen EU und USA über gemeinsame datenschutzrechtliche Mindeststandards. Die Mindeststandards, auf die man sich geeinigt hat, gewährleisten keinen wirksamen Schutz. Dies verwundert nicht, wenn man weiß, dass das Ziel der Verhandlungsführer nicht etwa ein angemessenes Datenschutzniveau in den USA war, sondern den Weg frei zu machen für eine breite Auslieferung von Informationen über Europäer an die USA. Dies ergibt sich aus einem Papier des französischen Ratsvorsitzes vom 22.02.2008.

Google Analytics — Yes, it is a security risk
Judging from some of the comments responding to our story about security sloppiness on Barack Obama’s website, it’s clear a discussion about the risks of third-party javascript is in order. Contrary to what many commentators believe, widgets used by Google Analytics and similar services do represent a threat, especially if you’re a high-profile target.
