Die Zukunft der Republik

		SPD	CDU	PDS/die Linke	Gruene	FDP	sonstige
Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg:	Erststimme	28.1	9.4	16.9	31.5	4.0	10.1
	Zweitstimme	30.1	8.7	16.8	26.6	4.1	13.7

Uebrigens, bei diesem Spielchen kommt raus, dass ich PDS/die Linke =8-( waehlen sollte, leider wird nirgends gefragt, fuer wie glaubwuerdig man die entsprechende Partei haelt.

here is a list of things that I want to fix on my computer:
(And I am grateful for any hints!)

I can burn CDs with k3b (version 0.12.14) only with root privileges. I can also run k3bsetup only by sudo'ing it.
When I use the fingerprint reader to login my PATH variable under X gets messed up. There is then only /bin:/usr/bin left.
I cannot print anymore from kpdf. Cups is running, I can print using lpr. But kpdf tells me:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running..

More things? presumably yes, but they will be added later on.

How bad is American intelligence? If you think of it, it was a very well organized, very effective attack. Not just a guy sitting in his garage and telling his friend: "I am going to blow myself up tomorrow." and then actually doing it. No, a lot of logistics involved. 9/11 was an unpaired strategic victory by Bin Laden over the United States of America. In German you would say: "Die USA wurden vorgefuehrt." And it goes on: Where is the guy? His trace is lost somewhere in Afghanistan. Americas new wars don't change the fact that they are so powerless against those terror networks.
What is a secret services good for that cannot prevent an attack like 9/11? Nothing (Except for inventing weapons of mass destruction somewhere in the Iraqi desert and torturing people somewhere in hidden places all over the world)
All this is just another hint at Americas helplessness.

Der Papst ist Mitglied der Tegernseer Gebirgschützen! So zumindest behauptet es Spiegel online. Ich mein nur, mit dem "Kontakt" haben sie's nicht so die Herren Gebirgschützen. Dann doch besser "Chronik".

*Zu deutsch: Darf der das? Der darf das. Dass der das darf!

About

My name is Magdalena Luz. I grew up in Switzerland. I studied physics at Humboldt University Berlin, where I used to live in "Nordkapstrasse" (North Cape street). That's how this blog got its name. After a short intermezzo in Copenhagen, DK, I live now in the amazing city of Wuppertal. This is a place the wild, wild West of Germany, built on 7 hills, (which is really the only thing it has in common with Rome) It is populated by the strange species of homo germanicus occidens communis, also known as 'gemeiner Wessi'. And even with her it is light years away from ever being like Berlin.
