One nice anecdote about BioNTech is, that the two founders are Gastarbeiterkinder.
That means that their turkish parents moved to Germany in the 60ies.
Özlem Türeci and Uur ahin which are married btw.

The companies adress is
An der Goldgrube 12, Mainz

This means literally: "At the goldmine" ;)

I use Feedly to monitor around 100 RSS feeds. Every morning I peruse the headlines and read any stories of interest, the way people used to read the morning newspaper. There isn't really any reasonable alternative.....

There is a good alternative.

Comment Re: Wireshark runs without X11 under MacOSX (Score 1) 79

Well with GTK+ being cross platform, Wireshark on MacOS still required using the X Windows interface. So will the move to Qt finally make it a native app?

Wireshark doesn't require X11, GTK2 does.
So when you've installed GTK2 via Macports like this
  gtk2 @2.24.21_0+no_x11+quartz+universal
then wireshark isn't using X11 and feels like a native MacOS-Application:
- Wireshark-Dockicon
- No X11 is started
- The menubar is on top, like in any other mac-applcation

Plus, it comes with free iOS and Android-Apps.

Censorship

Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia 1730

Nom du Keyboard writes "The New York Times is reporting that Muslim groups are attempting to censor Wikipedia because of images of Muhammad contained in the article about him. 'A Frequently Asked Questions page explains the site's polite but firm refusal to remove the images: "Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with the goal of representing all topics from a neutral point of view, Wikipedia is not censored for the benefit of any particular group." The notes left on [online petitions against the page] come from all over the world. "It's totally unacceptable to print the Prophet's picture," Saadia Bukhari from Pakistan wrote in a message. "It shows insensitivity towards Muslim feelings and should be removed immediately."'"
