Their official blog post and explanation: http://www.young-targets.com/formation-of-tech_hub-started/
There's a pretty big discussion/shitstorm going on in the Berlin Startups Facebook group.
The trademark owners claim that they want to use the licensing fees to support non-commercial events, quotation: "I think it's worth trying. If not, there sure will be other ways to finance non-commercial projects. I any cases it's better that it's a trademark of a non-commercial project, than of some cease-and-desist law firm."
I totally disagree with that whole idea though. Makes us Germans look ridiculous :-).

Awesome! I'm however unable to make negative lookaheads and lookbehinds work right now – though Ruby & .NET are said to support them according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_regular_expressio....

Also have a look at my http://code.google.com/p/php-ga/ project, which opens the door to many advanced server-side use cases.

That's exactly why I and a friend go into schools and talk about entrepreneurship for some years now. They won't ask for it, so we call them. But only in Cologne right now.

Thanks so much for saying what needed to be said :)!
David Zülke has a very good talk about REST that he's holding at conferences around the world regularly: http://www.slideshare.net/Wombert/designing-http-interfaces-....

You're using the wrong frameworks :)

The owner of YouPorn (and many others) is Fabian Thylmann, and he is actually a geek at heart:

Shocking to see that even an organization like Mozilla does blatantly copy other's CI... http://hackfwd.tumblr.com/post/7075853397/hackfwd-welcomes-w...

I'm in! Would be great if some new faces stop by :)
thomasbachem | 14 years ago | on: CSS "text-overflow: ellipsis;" finally landed in Gecko
Yep, that means that every major browser (including IE6!) supports it now. As soon as FF6 has spread, we can begin to make real use of it :).

You should also have a look at my server-side Google Analytics client http://code.google.com/p/php-ga which opens the door for many many advanced usages.
