Bob & Tom have found the solution. Hilarious and brilliant

Viel mehr gibts da eigentlich nicht zu sagen.

Laut Bild Zeitung verfuehrt Paris Hilton in ihrem neuesten Musikvideo einen Minderjaehrigen. Aber mal ganz ruhig, Kinners.



Nuechtern betrachtet kann ich keine Straftat erkennen. Paris Hilton selbst mag vielleicht volljaehrig sein, erwachsen ist sie deswegen noch lange nicht. Sie duerfte sich wohl kaum allzuweit ueber dem geistigen Level ("That's hot.") des hier angeblich 12-jaehrigen befinden. Von einer sexuellen Straftat kann sowieso nicht die Rede sein. In keiner Szene ist sie nackt zu sehen - was auch nicht noetig war... der kleine hatte "One night in Paris" vermutlich eh laengst zu Hause in der Schublade liegen. Selbst wenn nicht, jede Woche gibt es weit freizuegigeres Bildmaterial von Paris auf Bild.de selbst zu sehen. Und sind wir ehrlich: die meisten seiner ebenfalls 12-jaehrigen Mitschuelerinnen sind Paris in Sachen Oberweite heutzutage sowieso ueberlegen. Viel neues wird er nicht entdeckt haben.



Oh ja richtig, zum Masturbieren soll sie ihn animiert haben. Zurueck in den 60ern, liebe Bild Zeitung? Das Onanie weder schaedlich noch gefaehrlich ist lernen wir inzwischen in der Schule. Paris wollte den Jungen nur nochmal an das Video in seiner Schublade erinnern. Und dabei bleibts dann fuer mich auch: Paris Hilton, jetzt mit Musik-CD zum Porno-Film. Sicherlich auch bald als Set im Bild.de Online Shop.

Man lese diesen HAZ-Artikel, bitte. Wie beschraenkt sind die "da oben" eigentlich? Wahnsinn. Und jetzt schick ich diesen Blog-Eintrag mal lieber schnell nach Frankfurt, bevor ich noch eine Strafe aufgebrummt bekomme.

Seriously, don't buy Fifa '07 for the 360. They are trying to rip you off. Have a look at this page here. Notice something? The 360 version of the game features teams from only seven leagues. The PC, PS2 and Xbox versions come with all the teams from all the leagues (teams from 28 leagues if I'm not mistaken). For god's sake, even the Nintendo DS version offers you a selection of 22 leagues. So what's going to happen? I'd like to bet: it's not that they couldn't include the other teams and leagues because of a time-issue, but because they want you to buy those teams and additional stadiums as a downloadable Content-Pack. Cash-cow baby.



May I ask what the Champions League mode is going to look like in this game? You start in the semi-final?



Better luck next year, EA.

Watching your photos on a map is just awesome. Try it!

The Rolling Stone Magazine asks: Was the 2004 election stolen?



Rather interesting read. If you're a Bush-lemming, just don't read it, you wouldn't like it anyways. Get your own opinion.

A short update regarding the Sony GPS-CS1 device: yes, I can personally confirm now that this device is well supported on pretty much any platform. Once connected via USB it simply acts as 32MB memory stick. Which is great and pretty much the best thing Sony could have done. By the way, there are three LEDs on the Sony GPS-CS1. One signals the battery status, another one for reporting that memory is full and the last one for indicating the current GPS connection status. Other than that there is only a power-button, a slot for the AA battery and a mini-USB socket.



Thanks Sony for not creating another one of such annoying proprietary devices and making life a little easier for us

Believe it or not, I got my Sony GPS-CS1.



But what an effort it took to get hold of it. After Sony sent the package to the wrong address first, I had the chance to experience UPS "First Class" customer service today. I don't want to make this story longer than it already is, so here it is in short-form:



- 10:00am UPS promises me delivery till 11am.

- 11:30am Called UPS. New delivery ETA is now 2pm.

- 2:30pm Called UPS. New delivery ETA is now 5pm.

- 5:15pm Called UPS. Opened an investigation. They promised me the driver would call me within 30 minutes.

- 6:10pm Called UPS. Filed a complaint. They promised me the Barking center would call me within 30 minutes.

- 6:30pm UPS calls. They are sorry, but even though I'm "first class" they won't make it anymore today. The driver already tried once, but couldn't find my place. He might try again on Monday.



Might? Try? What the f***. And you claim you are a delivery service?

So what were my options then? Spend another day waiting on Monday, just to find out the driver still can't find his way? No thanks. I took the Tube and went to Barking myself. So back to the story...



- 7:30pm I'm at Barking, UPS center. They can't find the package, maybe the driver still got it.

- 7:50pm They found it. While they were looking for it in the warehouse, it was standing 1m away from me on the counter all the time.

- 8:20pm Back in the Tube.



"What can Brown do for you?"

I'm so angry. What the fuck is up with the UK and ordering stuff. Are you guys unable to handle a single order properly?! I ordered at dabs.com, they fucked it up big time (products arrived after several weeks), I ordered at amazon.co.uk (they didn't reach me when delivering and decided to not leave me a notification card, so I can have some fun hunting my package and talking to strange persons on the phone) and now I ordered something at sonystyle.co.uk.



I chose the First Class Delivery (13 extra quid, yay) to avoid any fuckup this time. Result? Sony sent my package the very same day (respect!), but to the wrong address. So now my package is somewhere, but not here and Sony tells me they can't look up the tracking ID since they only store them till the package has been delivered (it has not, morons). And UPS? Well, they can't look it up without a valid tracking ID, since that would be against their Data Protection Act. Now Sony offered me to find out the tracking ID till monday. Great. Sum-up: I paid an extra 13 quid so that I have to wait longer and get disgusted by the people on the phone? Great, next time I'll just go to a store. It' cheaper and it's quicker. And if anyone dares to react like the Sony-guy on the phone I'd at least have the chance to punch him in the face right then and there.

Just ordered at sonystyle.co.uk: Sony GPS-CS1. So looking forward to this little device. It records your GPS position automatically every 15 seconds and stores it in memory. You can then just plug it into your computer and sync the positions with the images you took. Et voila: you end up with perfectly tagged images, that you can view on a (world-)map.



Oh by the way, even though Sony officially only claims it's compatible with CyberShot and other Sony cameras, I can assure you that it's actually compatible with any camera / JPEG files in general. When you plug in the device, you can simply mount it as a disc. You'll find proper NMEA GPS logs which you can import in most GPS mapping software.



Short specs:

- Runs on standard AA batteries.

- Aprox. 86.400 (360h) position records per battery.

- Stores one record every 15 seconds.

Found a nice site today, which generates charts of cameras that are currently being used by flickr.com users. It samples between 1% and 2% percent of flickr's daily uploads (about 10.000 images per day) and analyzes their EXIF metadata. Certainly not 100% accurate, but statistically it should be rather close to the real data.



Interesting.

Yay, finally they did it. Love it so far. I never understood the disappearing side-menu anyways.

Saturday night our DSL router died. The LEDs simply went off and even loud cursing and bashing against the wall didn't reanimate it. I'd like to forget about this piece of hardware as soon as possible anyways, so R.I.P Belkin. But please, never buy a Belkin router. I had to reboot mine every now and then, since I simply couldn't ping or reach it anymore. Also, the reallife bandwidth of this 54mbit wave-lan access point was a joke and competed with good old 10mbit coax.



So off to PC World and just get a new DSL router, right? That's what I thought. At first I came home with a shiny new Linksys WRT54GS. Luckily RJ discovered that a broadband router isn't necessarily able to connect via broadband before we opened the box. Their concept of broadband routing is to connect this Linksys to your DSL/Cable Modem - which we don't have. It was supposed to be in the router, that's why it's called broadband router. So back to PC World, returned the Linksys and bought a D-Link DSL-G624T. It features a real DSL-modem, that's the upside. It even runs a proper Linux kernel and BusyBox. That's another plus on my checklist. It even comes with proper QOS and ADSL2+ support. I'm impressed. But then it started... already the installation was weird.



First of all, half of the D-Link's web-interface is not functional with Firefox. It is slightly better with Konqueror and Opera seems to work for 90% of (the really extensive and featureful) web config. Seems to be a case of "Designed for Windows XP". Amusing when you know that it's driven by Linux But ok we got a Windows Notebook connected to it, so we managed to deal with it. Strangely enough we couldn't connect with any other wave-lan devices to it, yet the access control was disabled. After a few reboots of all our devices it suddenly started working. Fingers crossed. But guess what? This device, just as the old Belkin that died, starts randomly shutting down the wave-lan port every now and then as well. Oh the joy of rebooting.



Sigh.

Das hier ist so ziemlich mit Abstand der sinnfreieste Artikel, den ich jemals gelesen habe. Und was um alles in der Welt ist bitteschoen eine "Benimmexpertin"? Klingt fuer mich nach jemanden, der nichts kann ausser nicht auffallen. Das dafuer besonders gut. Expertenhaft koennte man sagen. Oder wem ist schonmal eine Frau mit Baumwoll-rock und langaermliger Bluse aufgefallen. Eben.
