Railing about Rails
While I may rail about Rails here, you could do something more useful by consulting
Peter Schow on how to get Rails 1.2 up and running on Solaris 10 with PostgreSQL, and by checking it out and sharing on Open Solaris. Alternatively, for another Web 2.0 development environment, consider Phobos.

Another Web 2.0 Application
Check out Netvibes. It is a highly-interactive, personalized content and messaging portal brought to us by French Internet entrepreneurs (with one, a Sun Microsystems' alumni).

Tortured until proven guilty, innocent or saved
The Economist (Feb. 3, 2007) carries the story of Murat Kurnaz' ordeal at Guantánamo, his torture, eventual release and parliamentary testimony. (See the original Amnesty International case for Kurnaz. Hamburg lawyer Bernd Rosenkranz has brought the case to German courts. Shouldn't there be a similar case in the American courts?)
Mura Kurnaz and I both have some relationship to Bremen. He was born and raised there. I was neither born nor raised in Bremen but my car was definitely manufactured there.
