venti··on Cocktails for programmers
Another cocktail is the "Tschunk", which is hugely popular with hackers here in Germany. See the recipe here: https://entropia.de/Tschunk (the main ingredient, a carbonated, caffeinated soda called "Club-Mate" is difficult to source outside of Germany, though).
venti··on MOV is Turing Complete [pdf]

venti··on Ceefax Final Broadcast: 'Goodbye, cruel world.'
The German system, called "Teletext" is still alive and kicking. See for example http://ardtext.de/ and http://zdftext.de/ of the first and second TV channel in Germany. Even in times of the Web it's often faster to get the latest sports results through teletext (if you just want the results and no clutter).
venti··on Seamless SPDY support for existing web servers (SPDY-HTTP reverse proxy)
I had a look at the code on GitHub and could only find code that seems to start and stop threads. Is there more coming?
venti··on Startup world, Y U SUCK AT MOTIVATE?

venti··on Europe's new rocket, Vega, launches in a few minutes; live stream
Amsat has a list of the cube-sats launched with Vega and their frequencies in the amateur radio bands: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/ (scroll down to the end of the page).
venti··on Steve Blank's Lean Launchpad & Chuck Eesley's Tech Entreprenur class cancelled
I signed up for the Lean Launchpad course and apart from the confirmation e-mail I did not receive any other information, yet. It might just be a technical glitch or their way of preventing too many people from signing up.
venti··on German Chaos Computer Club analyzes and releases government malware
Yes, the malware described in the CCC's document is a Windows DLL file.
venti··on The alternative Internet, WiFi based
We also have a big community Germany that has been using wifi mesh networks and ad-hoc routing protocols since 2003: http://wiki.freifunk.net/Kategorie:English

Though all of these networks are very impressive, I don't think they can replace the big ISPs in case some one shuts down the Internet completely.

venti··on Always pay your web developers
You should also have a look at the comments in the HTML source of the site. :-)
