Hi guys,
As you maybe already know, there are several campaigns around the world who want to spread the message of atheism to the world. One of these campaigns is the so called “bus-campaign”. They want to put a poster on a bus with the message:
“Es gibt mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit keinen Gott. Werte sind menschlich. Es liegt an uns”
However, the “Wiener Linien” stopped this campaign.

It’s absolutely ridiculous! I hope that all those stupid religions will die out as soon as possible!
I wrote some time ago, that it is possible to decrypt skype-calls and that there is even a backdoor in it. Well … read this. Mrs. Fekter didn’t want to comment it because of “security issues”. What a farce!
Fekter schweigt zu Skype-Abhörmöglichkeit
I say it again and again … Don’t use Skype!
But what is more important: Don’t believe in politics …

Yiiiiiha … I love good news.
As published on the official Slackware website Slackware 13.0 will come with an officially supported 64bit version. From the announcement:
[tap tap tap]… Is this thing on? 
Ready or not, Slackware has now gone 64-bit with an official x86_64 port being maintained in-sync with the regular x86 -current branch. DVDs will be available for purchase from the Slackware store when Slackware 13.0 is released. Many thanks go out to the Slackware team for their help with this branch and a special thank you to Eric Hameleers who did the real heavy lifting re-compiling everything for this architecture, testing, re-testing, and staying in-sync with -current.
We’ve been developing and testing Slackware64 for quite a while. Most of the team is already using Slackware64 on their personal machines, and things are working well enough that it is time to let the community check our work.
We’d like to thank the unofficial 64 bit projects for taking up the slack for us for so long so that we could take our time getting everything just right. Without those alternatives, we would have been pressured to get things out before they were really ready.
As always — have fun!
Pat and the Slackware crew
I’m looking forward to install it on my machine! 
I hope you all enjoy the towel day this year. Wear your towel!
Maybe I’ll post some pictures later 
Just read this article on heise.de:
Oberösterreichs Landtag fordert Kinderporno-Sperren
I especially want to point out this part:
In seiner Wortmeldung im Landtag sprach sich der ÖVP-Landesparteisekretär Mag. Michael Strugl, MBA, dafür aus, “insbesondere kinderpornographische Angebote im Internet zu sperren und darüber hinaus auch Strafausmaß für die Straftatbestände” zu erhöhen. Welche weiteren Angebote im Internet er zensiert sehen möchte, führte er nicht aus. Er verwies auf Webfilter in Schweden, Dänemark, den Niederlanden, Spanien und der Schweiz sowie auf die Diskussion in Deutschland.
Yeah, great. Sweden blocks the Pirate Bay. Really makes sense to me …. NOT!
Ok, to get this right:
I don’t want to protect producers or consumers of child porn. In my opinion these criminals should get their punishment. And this punishment should be unforgettable for them.
BUT
I really hate it, when stupid politicians use the term “child pornography” to get to their goals. These dirty bastards should really die in hell (although I don’t believe in a hell … or heaven). These blockades DON’T WORK. These blockades are just another step towards 1984.
People complaining about the stuff in China or other countries should have a look on their own countries instead.
As you can see, I switched my wordpress theme again. I hope you like it. I really love it!

…. the towel-day
Wear your towel! Know where it is!
To remind my readers (me, me … and me) about this incredibly important event, I’ll put this picture on top of the blog.
UPDATE:
##############
I now rewrote the script a little bit to use a private MAC-area because of problems when generating some MAC-addresses. Please use this version if you want to use it …

hi guys,
yesterday I told you how to change your MAC address. Because I’m unbelievably lazy I decided to write a little helper-script to do this automatically. This script generates a random MAC address and brings the interface up with it.
here it is: change-mac
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
# name: change-mac
# author: ap0calypse (ap0calypse@agitatio.org)
# purpose: helper script for bringing an interface down
# and up again with a random MAC-address
# date: 2009-04-15
# replace this with your wlan-interface
my $interface = "wlan0";
my @val_mac = (0 .. 9, "A" .. "F");
my $rand_mac = "AC:DE:48:";
for (1 .. 6) {
$rand_mac .= $val_mac[rand(@val_mac)];
if ( ($_ % 2 == 0) && $_ != 6) {
$rand_mac .= ":";
}
}
system("ifconfig $interface down");
system("ifconfig $interface hw ether $rand_mac");
system("ifconfig $interface up");

I know that this is nothing secret or special for most of you, but I think there are people out there who don’t know how to do this. Long story cut short:
ifconfig $INTERFACE down
ifconfig $INTERFACE hw ether $NEWMAC
ifconfig $INTERFACE up
Adjust the values for interface and new-mac to fit your needs.
You may ask yourself, why you should ever need this. Well, if you are really asking yourself this question, you maybe really don’t need it ….
Personally I need it because there is an open WiFi-network in my hometown which gives everyone the opportunity to use it for 30 minutes every day. They assure this by saving the MAC …
Alright? Alright!
Starting with today, every Austrian passport has an additional “security feature”:

I don’t know what to do … I don’t want such a passport. I don’t want my fingerprints stored on that chip. Every person capable of reading this data could then use my fingerprint. I DON’T WANT THAT CRAP!
