8/15    Meet the new German NPD, same as the old German NSDAP:
        http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/08/16/neo_nazis/index.html
        \_ Somebody cracked one of their servers and found records detailing
           donations from illegal neo-nazi groups (the NPD is a "legitimate"
           party) and anonymously forwarded it to the German cops, who don't
           have the same restrictions on acquisition of evidence... -John
           \_ hmm.  Does that qualify as "white hat" or "black hat" hacking?
              \_ Good question.  The guys who did it told me they felt pretty
                 white hat.  Makes you think, though.  -John

5/16    Can anyone tell me what Greece is hoping for by rejecting austerity?
        From here it seems like the austerity is a pretty generous attempt
        to keep Greece from imploding entirely.   Are they hoping the
        Germans will put them on eternal state welfare, or what?
        Also, why would an outright default mean they must leave the Euro?
        Is it just that they won't be able to pay basic gvmt services

12/15   I'm planning on traveling to Europe and I was wondering if there's
        any reason I shouldn't be able to use a US power tap/strip (no surge
        suppression) with just a plug adaptor (i.e., no voltage conversion).
        This would be for use with electronics that accept 100V-240V. While
        the power strip is intended for use at 120V, it's just wires, right?
        (Also, this power strip has no power LED or similar.) If anything,

        this time the one who said it was Stephen Hawking.

Investor Relations News Holger Apfel Veering to the Reich A slicked-up neo-Nazi party is making noise again in Germany, exploiting rising immigration fears in Europe. He leads a delegation of the neo-Nazi NPD (National Democratic Party of Germany) in the German s tate parliament of Saxony. In January, he stood up in the chamber to rag e about the firebombing of Dresden. His timing was sharp: The parliament was trying to recognize the liberation of Auschwitz, but Apfel and his comrades had just caused a scandal by walking out of a minute's silence observed for the victims; now he wondered out loud why there was no minu te of silence for all the dead Germans. He filibustered about "anti-Germ anism" and the "German holocaust," and the Allied "air-gangsters" as ter rorists and mass murderers, before someone turned off his microphone. "He knew what he was doing," says Richard Herzinger, a German political e ssayist and journalist who watched Apfel's tantrum from the public galle ry. "It was straight out of the playbook -- using the term 'holocaust' i n a new way, casting Germans as victims. For the first time in more than three decades, Germany faces a national e lection with neo-Nazis sitting in a regional parliament. The NPD won 12 seats in Saxony last fall -- about 9 percent -- and another far-right party called the DVU holds six seats in the state of Brandenburg. Few experts think even the stronger NPD can win seats in the national parliament this September, but the stirring o f neo-Nazism in the countryside is a symptom of discontent not just in G ermany but across Europe, where many voters feel threatened by the rise of Islamist terrorism, Turkish immigrants taking their jobs, and the ide a that their culture might be losing ground to foreigners who don't unde rstand its traditions. Charles Kupchan, an expert on Europe at the Counc il on Foreign Relations, thinks the EU experiment is swinging away from enthusiasm for "Europe" and back toward old-fashioned nationalism. "The concern is not just about immigration and unemployment," he says, "but a lso a dilution of European identity and community." Want to read the rest of this article and all of Salon for FREE?
