Wenn man im Paradies lebt - vom LSD Entdecker

"... nur der Mensch, dieser Idiot, glaubt, er müsste die Sonne auf die Erde holen und hier Atomkraftwerke bauen."

Erst jetzt habe ich dieses Interview entdeckt. Im zweiten Teil werden auch einige meiner Überzeugungen widerspiegelt.
Dass diese Substanzen denen in unserem Gehirn gleichen, ist für mich völlig neu.

Albert Hofmann ist am Dienstag im Alter von 102 Jahren in seinem Haus in Burg (Basel-Landschaft) verstorben.

Why are manhole covers round?

While reading this article I got a really good laugh. Why? I realized, that up to this day I didn't know the english word for manhole cover... muahahaha.

True Color Gif?

Never before I heared anything about true color gifs > check out an example and explanation here

Kempelton 2 for Firefox 2

I fail to understand, why this brilliant Firefox2 theme gets so little attention. It blends wonderfully into Vista. Compared to this I think the new FF3 default theme's a laugh.
And please don't get onto our nerves by pointing out how Vista sucks, because it doesn't. Get it here for FF2. Kempelton is Thunderbird's default theme by the way.

Note > Kempelton 3.0 for FF3

6-bit or 8-bit LCD?

Most TN panels are very fast switching but only able to produce 262k colors, using dithering to display the 16,7M delivered by the PC. The issue might be important if you're a photographer.
But always keep in mind that the end product - the print - might show much less than even 10k distinguishable colors, so this issue might be overplayed by some geeks.

I suggest reading these articles and comments.

huge screen

Why not a 24" display. Bought a Samsung Syncmaster 245b and can't say anything bad about it. The huge resolution of 1920 x 1200 is nothing for gaming in native resolution though, it just requires to much GPU performance. The best about all this is the low price CHF 640.-

Facts: hdcp compliant dvi port, every source is scaled to full screen, no hdmi port, TN panel (fast, 6-bit).

Read a very detailed review here.
