Letzte Woche wurde ich vom SWR2 zu einem Gespräch über Hackerkultur eingeladen in einer Runde von TLA-Vertretern: Holm Friebe von der Zentralen Intelligenz Agentur (ZIA) und Günter Ennen vom Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI). Na und ich wurde natürlich als Repräsentant des Chaos Computer Club (CCC) befragt. So weit so gut. Zu meiner Überraschung kam der BSI-Vertreter mit allerlei überholten Feindbildern und sonstigen Stereotypen über Hacker daher, so dass sich ein wie ich ...

Rein, which in German means “pure”, is one of the best looking simple themes I have seen in a while. Usually the more colorful themes catch my eye the most but this one is well worth checking into. Here is a screenshot of this awesome monochrome flavored theme: You could definitely say this theme was offbeat and a ‘bit different for sure. You can pick up the Rein theme for Firefox 3 and up over ...

According to German news site Nachrichten, a passenger at the Linz airport set off alarms when his suitcase full of bacon was mistaken for a bomb. The story was translated with Google, so it's high on hilarity and low on verifiable detail. Apparently when asked to identify the suspicious material in his luggage, the passenger replied, "There is fat inside." This explanation understandably failed to allay concerns and the passenger was forced to remove the ...

Filed under: Items, Fan stuff, Virtual selves, Odds and ends, Blizzard A company called 3 Point Entertainment has apparently been contracted by Blizzard to make some WoW steins -- yes, tired of drinking your ale out of a plain old authentic German stein? Now you can drink it out of a Warcraft-branded, Horde or Alliance themed WoW stein. As much beer as we drink, we can't exactly say we're stein connesseurs, but these look pretty ...

By Anthony Bourdain I had the monster averaging 120 mph. Bugs bouncing off the windshield sounded like golf balls. Every once in a while, somebody would pull up alongside like they wanted to play. I'd tap the gas and leave them like they were standing still, find myself doing a rock solid 140 with plenty to spare. Back down to 80 when I'd see the bulls and it felt like 20. But the truly impressive ...

Dynamically impressive, the technology-laden flagship is now even easier to use.BY DAVE VANDERWERPA somewhat less honorable way to stand out is to at first purposely hold back and then impressively show huge improvement. Has BMW done just that with its 7-series?Even though the new, fifth-generation 7-series follows suit as the technology pacesetter by adding a bunch of high-tech features including active suspension damping, rear-wheel steering, night vision with pedestrian detection, lane-change warning, and side-view cameras, ...

Filed under: CellphonesGermany wanted $6.2 million in research subsidies back from Nokia, and in addition to the "tens of millions" that the company has already relinquished after the highly-disputed Bochum plant closing, it'll be coughing up another €1.3 million ($2.04 million) to hopefully close the door on the matter. Said payment will be addressed to North Rhine-Westphalia, which was quite angry after the handset maker decided to hack 2,300 jobs from Germany and relocate operations ...

I'm glad the Germans got rid of the funny moustaches, the kinky uniforms, and they are on our side now, because these mini-tanks and mini-trucks—which could be deployed inside standard transport helicopters—give a new meaning to the word blitzkrieg. They can be rolled out in any location in a matter of seconds, as this recent video shows. Apparently the trucks have not been very successful in actual use in Afghanistan, but the Wiesel 2 multi-role ...

Nico Nico Douga has officially went international! They launched a German and Spanish version of the site on Friday. Recently, Sankaku Complex posted an article talking about how much trouble Nico Nico Douga is in financially. In Japan, there has been a sharp decline in traffic to the site most likely due to Nico Nico Douga removing a lot of the anime content that infringed upon copywrite holders. In an effort to help boost traffic, ...

OK, I am really behind here. When was I at The Old Bavaria Haus Restaurant in New West? A while ago now, but I keep dreaming of the rich meaty schnitzel goodness, so I’m going to post about it anyways. Schnitzel is apparently not the national dish of Germany (that honor falls to either Sauerbraten or Sauerkraut, depending on sources), but you wouldn’t know that from surveying the room at the Old Bavaria Haus. There ...
