BenQ Mobile

Tante schickte mir gestern diese (allerdings gestern schon von Golem berichtet), hier aber mal vom Spiegel:

BenQ- Pleite: Entlassene Mitarbeiter müssen Millionen zurückzahlen

Bei den anderen 140 Betroffenen fielen die Beträge zwar teilweise noch höher aus, doch es treffe in der Regel gut verdienende ehemalige Führungskräfte, heißt es bei der Insolvenzverwaltung. Sie hatten im Jahr 2005 beim Verkauf der Siemens-Handysparte an BenQ Bleibeprämien zwischen 18.000 und 75.000 Euro vereinbart. In einigen Fällen gehe es aber auch um Boni bis zu 200.000 Euro, erklärte Prager.

Ich denke sowas nennt man Vetterwirtschaft.

Und nein, mich erwischen die nicht ;).

So viel Geld bekomm ich nun auch wiederum nicht.

Battlestar Galactica Vs Star Wars Vs Star Trek Vs Babylon 5


No Peace: Babylon 5 vs Star Trek vs Star Wars vs Galactica

Meh ...

I did some testing with my graphic card, again, and I got it to work, again.

Not sure what caused the breakdown of it, but so far it is working, although I'm closely monitoring it. I also checked the warranty and it is 24months, so I have some time to check if it just was a hickup in the system, the card not fitting or if it is somehow broken.

Apart from that, my DSL WLAN Router is still off duty because, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting randomly, what makes surfing the internet and especially gaming rather difficult.

I'm also thinking about stopping on my WoW adventure for a while, or at least change the subscription method from credit card to game time cards. Although it is really fun to play with my old SWG mates and hang around and game with them, it just doesn't appeal to me. Having that said, expect tante to comment here in 10 ... 9 ... 8 ...

So now for the good news:
I mentioned it to some already, Tako announced last week tuesday that some of the new people at Kendo, among them myself, would receive their armor this friday.

Well, she changed her mind, I got mine already yesterday :) wooooot!

Movies

Some are good, some are bad.

I recently found this:

3 Minutes & 29 Seconds... This is it! AICN scored the motherfucking premiere footage of JOHN RAMBO! This ain't PG13, NO-WAY!

Which probably is ... well getting old, but just reading the sideboards, I noticed that

25 Years Ago: The Best Genre Year Ever! Part VI! Cartuna Remember THE SECRET OF NIMH!--54 total posts

was mentioned. Now that was one of a kind fantastic movie. More so this got my attention that much that I looked further and found this a link to this:

Hall stays dead quiet about role in Batman saga

And that is a movie I'll be waiting for.

My graphic card just broke down ...

... and it's 11 days + 1 year ago I bought it :-/ .

I'll see what mindfactory wants to about this.

It's out: Starcraft 2

MMO Server Hosting

We all, well all MMO players, know that the server has it's up and downs, but I recently found out this tidbit of info on the eve online forum:

CCP, an idea to improve performance (Dev info leaked within).

Greetings,

We all know the hamsters have a tough job keeping the servers running, as this leaked vid from a dev clearly shows:

- CCP Server

As you can see, the hamster is dedicated to his job, and never gives up
trying to keep the servers running for us. What the hamster needs to increase performance is some form of recreation during downtime, to help it relax and have fun before the next 23 hours work kicks in. Maybe you guys could create a sub game within eve just for the hamsters, an
idea shown below:

- Sub Game For Hamsters

Please remember CCP that hamsters need love too, they should also be allowed to have their fun. I'm sure this can only lead to better overall
performance!

Das Hilft bestimmt ...

Meine Meinung: Wenn "Ihr" nur Scheisse produiert (DSDS) dann solltet "Ihr" auch nur Scheisse verdienen.

What does this mean ?

It says, Handy's got a new toy: a webcam ;)

Sadly it isn't running with trillian (yet) but it works in skype.
Going to test it in the other messengers as well but I still hope for a fix for trillian.

Do you want to know how bad it is?

It's very bad:

StarCraft MMO blasts into orbit!

Saturday 5-May-2007 2:00 PM Blizzard's new sci-fi MMO is set to rock the world later this month, CVG has learned


The long-rumoured new instalment of Blizzard's massive StarCraft series is set to be unveiled later this month - and it's another massively-multiplayer online game in the style of World of Warcraft, CVG can reveal.

Well placed US sources have revealed to us that the StarCraft MMO will be unveiled at an upcoming Blizzard event on May 19 in South Korea - the epicentre of the sci-fi RTS series' rabid fandom.

The unveiling of the new instalment has previously been rumoured for the South Korea event, though we now know that the title is in fact an online spin-off and not a new RTS game as previously assumed.


Of course this is massive news for both Vivendi and the MMO world; Blizzard's other online offering World of Warcraft has topped 6 million subscribers and is arguably the biggest game around today.

The question is, is there room for both World of Warcraft and a StarCraft MMO? The later will have to be a very different type of online game to convince gamers to subscribe to both of Blizzard's pair.

We will of course let you know as soon as soon as Blizzard officially confirms the game on May 19.

I'm speachless ... :(

WoW:Man ganks woman in game, woman's husband ganks man in RL

WoW:Man ganks woman in game, woman's husband ganks man in RL

Bronco Carson, a World of Warcraft player from Mexico, reported to police on Saturday that three men broke into his home and beat his arms with clubs and totalled his computer. The reason? Carson had been repeatedly ganking the WoW character of the wife of one of his assailants.

Carson reportedly told police that he had been "making it hard for her to get far in the game." The woman had already threatened Carson online, and Carson said that he had already been constantly harassed in-game two weeks prior to the attack.

And then Carson made the mistake of giving the woman his address, telling the woman that "if her husband was man enough to just come meet me to settle this."

The result? Carson got two broken fingers and a fractured wrist during the assault. His computer and entertainment center were also totalled by his three attackers before they left. "I knew that I might be messed with in the game but I didn't really expect her husband to come looking for me," said Carson. "I couldn't have been more wrong."

Now let this be a lesson to everybody. Taunting people behind the relative safety of the Internet may be fun, but don't be stupid enough to give out your real home address. If you do, then it's a whole new ballgame.

On the on side, it's really funny and close to being "deserved", cause everybody has met that moron that needs to shutup but because you are staying civil there's no way to make him stop, but on the otherside, hurting ppl and destroying stuff from somebody else is bad, mkay.

Ein Gasoven rockt.

Natürlich.

Nur, Ihn vergessen auszumachen bevor man zum training geht, mit dem neuesten WMF Topf den man gerade gekauft hat obendrauf, schockt so gar nicht.

Nix passiert, ein wenig rauchig in der Bude, ein wenig Schrubber aber nun gibts kein Abendessen mehr :-( ...

Leet speak ?

Nope, just something the AACS “Licensing Authority” (AACS LA) seems to have fun with.

Why ?
