In May I wrote about an Accesspoint panic.
Today I got a similar panic with a different Software version. This time 12.2(15)XR2:

Today I reinstalled iChat, because I read, that iChat works with ICQ (well sort of) and because the MacOS Software Update program always suggest downloading the iChat security update. While trying to configure it, I got a strange bug:

Very funny translation error *lol*

Vienna has an excellent public transport system and tickets are reasonable cheap, so many people living in Vienna have an annual ticket and there are very few ticket inspectors called “Schwarzkappler”.
Some people even considered starting an insurance that pays the extra fees if you get caught.
Although I use the subway nearly daily it happens sometimes that i don’t meet a ticket inspector for months. But sometimes you meet them everytime you enter the subway. There seems to be a rule of thumb that in the week before university starts or in the first week of the university holidays all employees of the Wiener Linien are trying to catch fare dodgers. (I wonder what they are doing the rest of the time).
From my experience the “safest” vehicle is the tram, especially in the Rush hour. Next is the S-Bahn in the City, as most of the �BB inspectors are starting to control tickets shortly before the S-Bahn leaves the City (Zone 100). Buses are only safe in the Rushhour, and most dangerous is the subway.
The most dangerous stations are Schottentor, Karlsplatz and L�ngenfeldgasse, because there are very few exits for a lot of people changing trains.

My desktop switch, a 2940 crashed today with the following output:

Here are some pictures from my Berlin journey two weeks ago:

This sign tells the people driving in a public transport bus, that there is an emergenty entrance. I have no idea why there needs to be an emergency _entrance_ and how it helps against racism and would be glad if someone could enlighten me.

Here we have a picture of the “Berlin wall” opposite of the Berlin wall museum.
You can see that the concrete is still fresh and there is no graffiti on it. Looks like too many tourists stole a piece of the “original” Berlin Wall, so the museum had to build a new one.
