Angry Whopper!! Pff.
The ANGRY Whopper, with ANGRY onions and ANGRY jalapenos! Hey, BurgerKing?! Your ANGRY advertisement just caused you to loose an ANGRY customer. Angry onions? Spare me.

Hof veroordeelt bedreiger Balkenende tot celstraf
Hof veroordeelt bedreiger Balkenende tot celstraf. Ik vraag me af waarom deze man wel celstraf krijgt, en iemand als Theo Maassen, die toch ook zo’n beetje heel de wereld al heeft bedreigd met de dood, niet. Lekker kieskeurigheid weer in Nederland. “Straf optreden, zolang we maar geen slechte publiciteit krijgen!”. Want het is natuurlijk meer […]

Virtualization Security
Theo de Raadt on virtualisation security: > Virtualization seems to have a lot of security benefits. You’ve been smoking something really mind altering, and I think you should share it. x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly full kernel, full of new bugs, on top of a nasty x86 architecture which barely has correct […]
CherryPy on Apache2 with mod_python
(This article is also available here) I’ve recently written a web application using Python using the following libraries: CherryPy v3.0.2 Mako v0.1.8 SQLAlchemy v0.3.7 CherryPy has a built-in web server which you can use during development and for actually running the application. I already had an Apache with some old PHP programs however, so I […]
