Ich weiß ja nicht, wie das in Spanien ist, aber in Deutschland würde die Staatsanwaltschaft jetzt Fluchtgefahr annehmen und die naheliegenden Schritte einleiten.

Haftgrund: Dümmer als die Polizei erlaubt.

Worüber ich mich ja schon seit Jahren wundere, ist, daß es in den Medien nie zu etwas kam, sondern immer nur dazu hat kommen können.

Klingt das irgendwie pietätvoller, oder so? Salbungsvoller klingt es allemal.

Original Ton, Imitation tagesschau.

If you say so yourself …

Oh how I enjoy #Apple Software Update. It downloads a quarter of a GiB in updates, then proceeds to tell me there has been “an error”, and throws away the files.

The idea is brilliant; the name, priceless; the solutions, amazing.

This font looks like Arial. Is Facebook messing with the kerning, or does it suddenly have extremely tight pairs like VA Ve Vo Te To, but not so tight for Ta and Va?

Under certain circumstances, which probably are related to the deployment method used, the Office 365 (2016) applications lose the ability to either sign their VBA projects or validate existing signatures.

Microsoft’s Office 365 support begs off due to “request out of scope” and refers me to the paid support. Thanks.

I’m not sure yet what the actual cause of the problem is, but the workaround is embarassingly simple:

• Run any application once with elevation and go through the motions of signing something (no actual certificate required). Signing will then work again as LUA, too.
• If macros still do not work after that, open a macro-containing file, again running elevated. Validation will now work again, same as signing above.

Microsoft recently put Flash in Edge behind a Click-to-play prompt. So far, so good. Except that prompt does not happen for the still Flash-dependent full vSphere Web Client.

At least they also finally introduced group policy to control Flash in 1703. So Edge can remain my dedicated Flash-enabled browser for this one application. Good.

An occupational hazard, I guess …

I wonder how much worse this could get with the E-ELT. Cerro Armazonas is another 400 meters higher.
