Hello world, actually we have a very strange discussion in Germany about something called "Pendlerpauschale". This was a tax reduction you could get for the costs of the trip from home to the workplace (0.3Euro/km). It was basically a subsidy for the German car and petro-chemical industry. It helped the urban sprawl and did clearly not reduce our output of carbon dioxide. A few years it was abolished for financial and environmental reasons. Now, with the growing fuel prices, the so called conservative party wants to reintroduce it. And here comes my question: it there a similar subsidy/tax reduction in other countries or is this again one of the many special features of the German tax system? Greetings, Georg

Hello world,

there was an interesting article on the German Website heise.de about an open source

firmware for Canon cameras - it does *not* overwrite the original firmware so it should be

quite safe. Among other features it enables you to write RAW files even with the

*small* consumer things.
