Slashdot Mirror

I was looking at one yesterday regarding this story.

Have a look at blid.de (it's in German) - it does exactly what OP was talking about.

You know, I wonder if that isn't just a smart business move on his part...

Let's review, shall we?

Calling "BILD am Sonntag" a newspaper is a joke by itself. I'm German, so I know this first hand, taking a look at their website, however, should convince everyone else to a similar degree I presume you don't even have to understand German in order to see what sort of 'newspaper' we're dealing with, here.

Whats interesting:
Germany selected a German firm to keep the voice part secure (after 2007 till 2009?).
Later the text part was secured by the same German firm (2010?)
Finally the e-mail and sensitive data aspect was also closed up in 2012?
Beyond that was the public key method for key agreement via dedicated landline phone for the real chats classified as top secret.
So the NSA got in very easy to text and data until a more complete German solution was ready for the lower level restricted phone.
Why did Germany take a 3 part upgrade cycle for the one/only phone they really had to get sort of secure?
The selection of a German firm founded in 2007 is telling too. They did not go with a gov solution or a big German brand..for the one/only phone they really had to get secure first time and do it in one step?.
The interface? Power usage? Or the Germans recall Enigma and will never full trust US/UK tech again and played a game?
This is also very telling of the NSA skill set and what is reflected back to the US gov - WOW the top secret super German phone was 'hacked'.
vs Germany took its time in trying to get any working encryption over 2 phone over a few years for text, data and emails.
i.e. with the correct number and the US having a total understanding of the EU phone network it was more "celebrity' vs 'press' hacking?
But wait http://www.bild.de/politik/inland/spionage/obama-billigt-lauschangriff-auf-merkel-33140378.bild.html talks of the NSA having real skills.
The US broke the encrypted phone too :)

"Die Amerikaner knackten den Informationen zufolge auch das neue, angeblich abhörsichere Handy"
So Germany has top tech staff handing out 'generations' of encryption and even when encryption is offered its junk.
How good is Germany feeling about its cute looking, approved secure landline telephone (unit does telephone, fax, data and video communication)? Same staff look after that too? US/UK trained staff?
So did the German high command sell out to the US seeing its own political leaders as untrustworthy?
Did the German high command not understand what the USA will always do with any encryption it can find?
Did the German high command sell out to the US, tell the German political leaders and feed the US digital junk that the NSA/CIA reported back as 100% pure fact?
Would Germany be that silly? Would the CIA be that trusting with such a win?

Fines are most common. Mild vulgarities are probably convicted most often because they're less debatable than the more personal stuff. It happens so often it's hardly worth mentioning specific cases, but here's an article with a few examples: http://www.bild.de/ratgeber/recht/urteil/wen-darf-ich-wie-beleidigen-26418084.bild.html

Yellow journalist. Here is the originala rticle : http://www.bild.de/regional/ruhrgebiet/universitaet/uni-verklagt-studenten-weil-er-zu-schnell-studierte-24966622.bild.html

Anyway as I said in another post I think there is nothing wrong with the university depending on how the contract was made.

You need to read more German media.

For example:
http://www.bild.de/lifestyle/startseite/lifestyle/lifestyle-15478526.bild.html

For counter example, I would note that ESPN will be covering the Scripps National Spelling Bee this year.

Perhaps your perspective on this has more to do with you than with Germany or the United States.

actually, he seems to be right if you believe Bild Zeitung (which is at the best of times slightly hazardous, as it's not exactly the most serious newspaper in Germany)

From the article, one of the women didn't want to press charges, and the second only went to the police because Assange was being a asshole (he didn't want to be tested for STDs after having have unprotected sex with both women) but both were apparently pressurized by their lawyer, Claes Borgström, into pressing charges for rape. Still from the Article, Borgström seems to be a complete dickhead, part-time media whore, part time feminist extremist (I don't have anything about emancipation, I actually support it wherever I can, but the dude tried apparently to push a "default culpability for men" law ... -.- )

Here's a few more details in the German story, thanks to Google translate. (Contains amusing malapropisms.)

Apparently German workers have legal rights.

If they get fired arbitrarily, they can sue and get their job back.

I'll stop reading slashdot... how credible can a newssite be, which has a headline like THAT?
This headline is one of the worst cases of so called "journalism" that I've ever seen in my entire life!

I think it's only beaten by "Super-Virus kills Superman", which was the headline of the BILD Zeitung when christopher reeve died (yes, they used the phrase "kill", which is very very colloquial in germany)...

The US mostly mostly has middle and upper-class muslim immigrants. They're not bad people, because most of them don't value their religion about everything else.

Europe, on the other hand, mostly has the lower-class, redneck-equivalent muslim immigrants. They're bad people. They value their religion above everything else. They trade people:
http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/2010/04/21/tochter-fuer-15500-euro-als-braut-verkauft/mitten-in-deutschland.html

Most of them are dangerous, because they value the drug riddled prophecies of a child molester above both logic and infidel law.

(As always, there are exceptions)

As a German, I think you value us too highly - we have the same crappy mass culture and anti-intellectualism around here, our own share of numb-nuts reveling in their stupidity. Just have a look at our largest newspaper, the BILD-Zeitung. I didn't see much difference regarding the average citizen between my time working in the US and back home. Granted, I didn't exactly work in deep Redneckistan, but still...

This is an influenza virus we're talking about. There are plenty of studies showing that getting vaccinated for influenza is completely pointless.

Please read this story in The Atlantic.

From page 2:

The history of flu vaccination suggests other reasons to doubt claims that it dramatically reduces mortality. In 2004, for example, vaccine production fell behind, causing a 40 percent drop in immunization rates. Yet mortality did not rise. In addition, vaccine “mismatches” occurred in 1968 and 1997: in both years, the vaccine that had been produced in the summer protected against one set of viruses, but come winter, a different set was circulating. In effect, nobody was vaccinated. Yet death rates from all causes, including flu and the various illnesses it can exacerbate, did not budge.

That magical polio vaccine, which is now being given in Nigeria in the form of a nasal spray (just like the current influenza vaccine being given out now) has mutated and been responsible for causing the current outbreak there.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-08-14-nigeria-polio_N.htm

Everyone who got the polio vaccine in the US has been exposed to SV 40, one of many viruses in vaccines that have been found to cause cancer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvsXrVkjyz4

When you get a vaccine you are getting many unknown viruses, proteins and random DNA fragments that are grown with the vaccine in whatever substance is used. There has never been a study of long term effects on what these can do to you.

Doctors in Germany have been warning about this.

The nutrient solution for the vaccine consists of cancerous cells from animals and "we do not know if there could be an allergic reaction".

But more importantly, some people fear that the risk of cancer could be increased by injecting the cells.

The vaccine - as Johannes Löwer, president of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, has pointed out - can also cause worse side effects than the actual swine flu virus.

Wodrag also described people’s fear of the pandemic as an "orchestration": “It is great business for the pharmaceutical industry,” he told the ‘Neuen Presse’.

Swine flu is not very different from normal flu. “On the contrary if you look at the number of cases it is nothing compared to a normal flu outbreak,” he added.

But please fearmonger about the plague and polio without looking at any associated risks with getting vaccinated for everything that may make most people sick for a few days.

cancer virus cell base = your H1N1 Vaccine

And once again you're incoherent. Go away and die.

A real quick google search would have turned up the information you're looking for. Asshole.

This particular flu hasn't been isolated in pigs, or any other animals so far.

and
http://www.oie.int/eng/press/en_090611.htm

So it's origins are currently unknown.

e.g.

Gee, that kid sure is good at pulling hoaxes. He even changed his name from Nico Marquardt to Garrit Blank, presumably so nobody would recognize him this time around!

The article was not written by a science writer, obviously, but he was clearly smarter than you.

For some reason a significant amount say yes... I can't understand why one would if they have already committed some terrible crimes, but they seem to.

The trouble is trolling through a large enough database will randomly create some false positives. Even if you assume the DNA data is reliable, which it isn't, then you still have the problem of "I bumped into this person, and through some strange series of events my skin cells contaminated the sample." There was already a case of the police desperately searching for a serial killer for 6 murders, only to later realize that the suspect was a technician who was accidentally contaminating the samples. Check out the story here, here or here.

The problem with modern DNA techniques is they can be too sensitive. They light up anyone who ever came in contact with the sample. Even if this is through accidental contact.

Good Luck if you actually had sex with the girl, and the rapist used a condom. Your going to be a suspect no matter what you do. Hope you have a really good alibi, a really good lawyer, and that the girl swears that you are a nice guy. Your going to need that alibi for the next 100 years.

And a transcript:

http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/bild-english/world-news/2009/01/20/barack-obama-speech/first-black-president-historic-inaugural-address.html

Here is the original article, in German, from the German newspaper. It looks like a professor helped him (Professor Spahn from Potsdam University). Bild is semi-infamous in Europe for sensationalizing stories but at least we know that the boy is real if nothing else...

Bah. Half-measures.

If you want minimal access time for your daily boobie fix, you have to go to Germany, where Bild puts the nekkid women on the lower part of PAGE ONE!

the rest of the world watches news - america watches fox

Actually there's this assumption that the US news tends to be a lot worse than the rest of the world's; I mean -- it's bad, but it's mostly just notable because it's so exported.

I mean -- Fox News, as bad as it is -- is still quite a step up from Germany's most popular newspaper, Bild Zeitung ("Picture Times"), or how about England's most read paper, The Sun ?

It's easy to look at Fox from inside the US and think, "Wow, this is terrible..." and it is, but that's not a unique phenomenon to the US and just as the UK tends to export The Guardian, the BBC, the Economist -- or Germany the Frankfurter Algemeine, Speigel or Die Zeit the US tends to export CNN, Newsweek, the New York Times, the New Yorker and so on. That's not to say that any of those are perfect, but they're markedly better.

Cycling at 70? Impossible," concluded 23-year-old Julia, testing the suit for the benefit of the readers of the mass-selling Bild newspaper.
