the Catholic Church and the Inquisition
Saw part of this movie (“The Tudors” (2007)) during my workout on a treadmill in the gym.I actually only switched to it from a basketball match, when I saw that terrible inquisition scene, where they set somebody on fire.I think I have been asking myself that question, since I was young: Why was that organisation by the name of Catholic Church not simply abolished, once there was enough intelligence “available” outside it? Why does it still exist? -

new PCs come without recovery medium – what to do?
New PCs (including ASUS Eee Boxes) come without recovery medium, but they seem to have a recovery partition on their hard disk. You have to find a utility, that copies that hidden partition to an external bootable medium like a USB memory stick (that needs to be bootable!!!).
I used R-Drive Image for that. Its evaluation period was long enough for my purpose.
This article by Benny Neugebauer didn’t actually describe my problem, but it helped finding that utility. -
the Eee Box Windows 7 initial set up allows not only the local language
And I like that really a lot. Computers must speak in English to me.
