""Wem es wirklich darum geht, die Sicherheit zu stärken, der würde gezielte Projekte zur Kriminalprävention an Schulen, in Stadtteilen, in Gefängnissen fördern, wo Menschen kriminell werden können", erklärt Patrick Breyer vom Arbeitskreis. "Unsere Innenpolitiker tun das Gegenteil: Sie investieren Millionen von Euro in die Vorratsspeicherung der Daten Unschuldiger, in Überwachungstechnik, in biometrische Pässe, in Videoüberwachung - und kürzen gleichzeitig seit Jahren die Mittel für gezielte Präventionsarbeit, und es gibt immer weniger Polizisten – das ist doch keine Sicherheitspolitik!""

–Stoppt die Vorratsdatenspeicherung! - Vorratsdatenspeicherung: Nützlichkeit ist nicht gleich Sicherheit! (05.03.2010)

"Strobeshnik (final)"
[direktlink]

Strobeshnik is a HDD clock. The digits are etched in the original platter and they're strobed from behind with leds. The HDD motor is driven by a custom circuit without feedback, hence poor startup performance and awful noise. Rotational feedback is provided by an IR LED/phototransistor pair near the place where the head arm formerly was.

Tolle Idee des Tages: Lasst uns doch Russland in die Nato holen! Bin ich voll dafür. Und danach machen wir die Nato zu, weil sie dann keinen Zweck mehr erfüllt.

"„Wir beobachten oft, dass es eine Gegenanzeige gibt, wenn jemand einen Polizisten beschuldigt“, sagt Mitarbeiterin Katharina Spieß. Auffällig sei, dass die Anzeige der Betroffenen häufig nicht weiter bearbeitet werde, die Anzeige des Polizisten hingegen schon. „Es gibt Menschen, die sich aus Angst vor einer Gegenanzeige nicht mehr trauen, einen Polizisten anzuzeigen.“
