Killer chess to demonstrate against computer game censorship

The pirates have devised for the demonstration against the killer game ban a very special event: A game of "human" chess with real fake blood. They want to crystallize the very brutal actions of the classic game come into the years. They want to make clear that chess is a killer game in the crude sense and should be banned. According to the definition of the Interior Ministers Conference is a killer game is a medium by killing action are realistically portrayed and also includes other atrocities. Below it should be banned. But that would also apply to the game of chess. And why is not banned?

The whole article you can at taz read. I think the action in any case very amusing :)

The Twitter page is updated

Due to the huge media attention Twitter gets more and more into the public. Therefore, it is more important that the service has a clear page, where each user immediately sees how he logs on and what it is all about. This is the current site is not the case, said Stone in an interview with blogger Kara Swisher. The users were rather confused, not knowing where to click.

That should change with the new site that should go in a few days at the start. It is to contain even a kind of test mode where you get the opportunity to try Twitter for a short time.

I'm curious what that looks like the new HP. One thing is clear: The current site dates from the early days of the Twitter era, and is rather spartan. Since a new coat of paint would not be bad times. :)

Game One Royal Beef!

Here is a small Web for those who want to waste their time (meant in a positive sense).

Some might be the game show on MTV GameOne a term. Since the program now has summer break, was a small blog set up on every now and then read goodies waiting to be seen or heard. The editorial team also consists of the four ex-GIGA-faces Budi, Simon, Nils Eddy and published from time to time video, text, or even podcasts about games and, more recently, films. Casually noticed: the latest movie podcast is really worth listening to!

A recent action of the Royal Beef are gambled in the no-skill games such as Mario Kart. Again and again Friday a new episode appears. I would not want to miss, because it makes it fun to watch the 4-G classifiers while gambling! :)

Pirate Party, a one-party themes?

Definitely no! Certainly, other parties have more topics, but one must also say that there is only more recently, the Pirate Party. So also are the Greens with a choice of topic (too early) now have a great party.

Now I watch the final choice and therefore formulated the program at PIRATES, one can crystallize out the following topics:

  • Chapter 1 - Basic Law protect
  • Chapter 2 - Privacy
  • Chapter 3 - democracy through transparency and participation
  • Chapter 4 - Intellectual property
  • Chapter 5 - Infrastructures keep open
  • Chapter 6 - Education

Granted, this is not a large selection of themes. But, in a small number of electoral issues and the chance is small that you will be disappointed by the party.

A code of conduct for the Internet? There Is already ...

What you do not hear anything from the CDU, particularly of the von der Leyen. Their latest idea is a code of conduct for the Internet . It can not be, says Ursula, that bullying on the Internet is simply intolerable Sun Furthermore, it is easily possible that older people log in to chat and pose as young boys and have a chat with a young girl and may have bad intentions.

To the idea with the code of conduct I have now two theories: one says that the CDU will go before the election to vote catcher. The second theory says that other and that the politicians have no idea. Because the politicians would be somewhat versed in the network (less food for thought in between! Seniors to the grid) so they would know that it's been since the beginning of the forum is a so-called netiquette in online forums. Behaves someone next to it, it is simply expelled from the forum. Finally, the Board operator has no desire to legal problems. Since I'm in a great forum moderator myself, I've often had problems with so many kiddies.

Secondly, I would sometimes like to say on this thesis by Ms vd Leyen: "Bullying in the network can not be tolerated." Oh, and in "real life" as we say Internet freaks, that's allowed? How often it happens because of the German school grounds that weaker kids from rowdy wannabe thugs are taken down? It happens there every day by and nobody is doing anything, not even a teacher. Sure there are exceptions, but largely it is still like this. All the German schools gunman were students who were classmates of the ruined soul, that is bullied. 100% of the gunman go to school, prohibits the school?

Let us paint some of the real world so, as the CDU presents the virtual world: Everything is lined with pink plush lining, so you do not even hurt. Everything is different and may even harm prohibited. Also still have a bucket of pink paint to be taken so that you can lampposts and anything pink brush. Look through rose colored glasses! When I was a little kid I had to adapt to the reality, not reality to me!

So which of my theories at the beginning of the right? Well, both hold.

A new Firefox theme for version 3.7!

I've just been to town Bremerhaven found an article about the new Firefox theme that is made ​​for version 3.7. The theme, or in Mozilla-speak mockup, looks really do not look bad. Or what do you think?

This picture shows the design for Windows Vista or 7 at Aero enabled. Very chic, right? The theme already makes her very what. As you can see the top bar (File, Edit, View ...) disappeared and only the main display. Mozilla now has only improve the performance and the Firefox browser is actually the best in the world! :)

Windows 7 Pre-Order

Yes, I am one of the lucky ones: I have Windows 7 yet. And this for 50 Ocken. I was amazed when I woke up on Wednesday at half 10th Actually, I wanted to be completely relaxed at Amazon pre-order Windows 7 for 50 €. But what do I then handed over Twitter? Windows 7 at 9:07 was sold out after a server failure. What machste now? The whole alternate sites such as Conrad and everyone was very slow so I went to my local Medimax. Opens at 10 clock, around 10:10 I stood there on the mat. Fortunately, the shop was in the action, because otherwise I would have to travel to another city to pay a visit to the media market.

MediMax had not yet received the goods delivered, so they put me on a list. The next day, I've already got a phone call: "Your order Windows 7 is here." Yeah, great. There's so has it all worked out :)

But what to do now, the whole disappointed Amazon, Conrad, Alternate, and Cyberport's customers? Many online stores offer compensation. So I have in the comments of Winfuture read that Amazon is offering for some customers Windows 7, despite the missed offer for 50 €. Conrad has also apologized. It looks like the other stores, I do not know. But I am sure that the user can not stand in the rain :)

PS: If I have Windows 7 then, I will publish here as soon as possible a review :)

Blog recovered

After a short downtime I have a small workaround to avoid a long break until I move to a paid hosting. Since in the present free-hosting, unfortunately, some PHP functions are disabled, missing some features of the blog. I also had to disable comments, unfortunately. That will depend, however, when I found a proper paid hosting. Until then, please be patient :)

PS: Do you have tips for hosting me? What is Hostloco?

Office 2010: The Movie or Clippy is dead - hot spot from Microsoft!

Microsoft Seems to have too much money. First we learn about the major advertising campaign for Bing and now there is also a totally wacky, action-packed commercial for the new Office 2010. The entire commercial is held in a Hollywood style. You'd think it was a trailer for the new Die Hard. Only without Bruce Willis.
I want to ramble you full but not too long. Here is the spot, it looks in HD!

Nu no joke: I would be really hot on a 120-minute Hollywood production. :)

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall now free for download

As I just read was, Bethesda has the second part of its grand Elder Scrolls saga free download for all parties. The whole game is measuring time 146 megabytes, can you on the official Elder Scrolls website for free download .

Since the game is several years old, it does not need much. Only a 66 Mhz processor and a bit of free hard disk space. Oh yes: And DOS box. Everything else is explained on the Elder Scrolls website.

Nostalgic for sure a good story. Sure, for today's players will certainly not be the bringer of graphics, but many older players amongst you, there is certainly a great thing. If you consider me, how much HDD space Oblivion (4.6 GB) and Morrorwind (1 GB) consumes one sees how the computer world has changed: disk space is getting cheaper and the textures getting bigger. But that is a minor matter: The main thing is what is in vain! :)
