In germany we have elections this year. Thats why the politicians need to pretend they were doing something. On the other hand they don't want to piss off the very big Gun Club lobby, so the only thing they can do is bash some scapegoats (like first person shooters and paintball)
Finally we don't need ANY proof of being "under attack" (TM by Herman Göring) anymore to start a war... just say "they opened cyberwar on us - here are the logs that (ahem) proove it!"
This is especially interesting because people always tell you, you couldn't rely on wikipedia because it wasn't fact-checked, contrary to journalism (because journalists are the people who have the capital and education to do thorough research...)
I loved Duke Nukem 3D, I played it until 2003 or so (when the last DN3D league was closed). I still have it on my HDD and play against the sob-bot every now and then. I even helped working on the High-Resolution-Pack for some time and I wrote the win32 launcher for the sob-bot...
I was patiently waiting for DNF since 1997 and I never lost hope that some day it would be done
I once read that they had $50,000,000 - but that was after years of development had already passed (and they were asked, if they could afford finishing DNF)
Not ALL Parties are allowed on that social network (StudiVZ) - only the ones which are currently in the Parliament... which the Pirate Party isn't... I'm angry about the lockout, too, but this report is just plain exaggerating!
easy solution: outlaw windows! without botnets reading some IRC channel, sending gazillions of spam-mail per day, brute-forcing server-logins, attacking other PCs and seeding child pornography, I guess we'd free up around 10-20% of the current bandwidth usage...
also this stupid discussion has been nonsense in every f*cking generation of the web - why should it be different this time?
The worst thing about this is, that they want to log all blocked dns requests AND after you get on the list YOU have to prove your innocence (and still german politicians call this a constitutional state)!
also they want to put sites on the list, that have links to a site on the list... recursively this will lead to the whole freakin internet to be on that list within a day and EVERYONE to be subjected to child-pornography-raids! (Kristallnacht, anyone?)
PLUS the brainwashed mob supports the NSDAP 2.0 (a.k.a. CDU/CSU), recent surveys say they'll get around 45% in the upcoming election...)
fucking shitfaced neonazi-politicians! this is the worst law since 1945! I want to emigrate from this totalitarian fascist plutocracy!
I'd say that would be using horses instead of humans to pull the rickshaw... 3.0 would be using bicycles (a step backward), 4.0 is using automotives...
radio contacts, radios and taximeters are somewhere between 5.0 and 6.0 - route guidance system are 7.0
so the better question would be, what technologies should be in version 8.0
I can't resist saying: improved javascript performance and more w3c compliance, but actually I think it will be some sort of entertainment device - games, internet access, tv,... or maybe it could be as simple as giving the customer a free drink (that will raise the base price of course)
The law which would allow them to suspend a domain for anything is not yet through our assembly - IF they did this, it's illegal - also the message from the Domain name registrar (DENIC) translates out to
The requested domain is currently not reachable
The domain-owner or the administrative contact should be informed about these problems by now. We expect them to be solved soon.
If you as domain-owner or administrative contact are not yet informed about the hassle, we might not have reached you. In this case, please contact:...
so this MIGHT be a technical problem, though this still highly alarms me, since I am a political activist in germany, myself...
I don't know how this is in the USA, but in germany cops and such have to tell you what you are accused of, before they can seize anything... not doing this reminds me to secret trials...

I don't have to make up reasons to not use this (which I usually would have to, because I hate Microsoft...)
what is it about object-orientation that microsoft doesn't get? read MSDN sourcecodes - it's like a trip to 1960...
nope :-)

to me, this is as if a relative had died

As a german I can tell you - the political situation here is BAD! censorship is back, surveillance is back, corruption... never left
the lockout of the pirate party is just a small puzzlepiece of opposition-oppression, but all in all - yes - we are headding for the fourth reich...
Not ALL Parties are allowed on that social network (StudiVZ) - only the ones which are currently in the Parliament... which the Pirate Party isn't... I'm angry about the lockout, too, but this report is just plain exaggerating!
Somehow this reminds me to the windows 95 installation process... which told you that it had become extremely secure...
no, I'm serious! stop laughing!

that's interesting (you never stop learning...) :-)
but I can't help imagining the flintstones' taximeters when I read your description

There you have it - cops are the worst criminals... we told you for years but you didn't want to believe us... where's my tinfoil hat?
