To celebrate, the site has been back under their original URL.

CERN created the basis for the World Wide Web. Originally, the technique was developed, so that scientists can communicate better with each other and exchange research results – but in the end, the invention has changed all sectors of society fundamentally. Not only scientists, in principle anyone can join today. Whether cats videos, 160-character extract confessions or leaked documents.

    The European Space Telescope “Herschel” has surpassed the expectations of the astronomers: But now it is too hot for his instruments. In an orbit around the sun is Sendeschluss.

    The European Space Telescope “Herschel” comes after about three years of scientific work as planned out of service. “Herschel” has used up the necessary instruments for the supply of coolant. “The scientific part of the mission is now complete”, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau told in Göttingen on Tuesday.

    The European Space Agency ESA had already announced on Monday, the telescope was calculated as previously overheated on his last journey. Further observations are not possible – so to speak Sendeschluss

    .

    “Herschel has exceeded all expectations and given us an incredible wealth of data with their evaluation astronomers will be busy for several years,” it said in the ESA. The space telescope has contributed as much to the knowledge of the formation of stars in distant galaxies.


    new surprising findings

    enthusiasm also at the Max Planck Institute Herschel had directed his unique view not only of distant galaxies and stars, “the Mission has also new and surprising insights about our solar system possible “. For example, a comet had been identified, the water ähnle the earth strong.

    The 14 May 2009 transported into space telescope was equipped with a 3.5-meter primary mirror measured as particularly powerful. With cameras and scientific instruments more than 35,000 observations were recorded.


    “Herschel” is more keep radio contact

    “Herschel,” will remain on for some time with its radio contact with ground stations in order to implement a number of technical tests by the end of the cooling helium supply. In May, the telescope will then be transported to a long-term stable orbit around the sun.

    The telescope was named after the German-born astronomer William Herschel (1738-1822), who discovered the planet Uranus, among other things, as well as infrared radiation and on the British King George III court . worked

    One of the future space telescopes that can pursue “Herschel” observations, the “James Webb Space Telescope” (JWST), NASA, which is launched into space in 2018.

    “We go bankrupt”: Scene from the cracked version of Dev Tycoon Games

    (Photo: Greenhert Games )

    Patrick and Daniel are Wisely game developers with its own small studio called GreenHeart games. They have brought a few days ago the game called “Game Dev Tycoon” on the market, tells a similar story as the popular smartphone game “Game Dev Story” by Kairosoft. It simulates, as it creates a small programmer to stardom developers.

    Immediately after the official launch – the game will cost $ 7.99 – questioned the developer a slightly modified version of “Game Dev Tycoon” on file sharing sites. How to Write the brothers in her blog, the recognizable as a cracked copy version has been downloaded shortly after numerous.

    Who

    the game via file sharing sites procured, but gets a rude surprise. Because hardly the player has developed a promising product in the game, he will sacrifice himself for piracy. Nobody buys his game, instead he gets to see the following note: “Boss, although a lot of people play our game, but they steal it by download a cracked version, you do not buy it legally, if the player’s games that you.. please do not buy, we will go bankrupt sooner or later. ” In the end, the developer is actually bankrupt, the game is over.


    “That’s not fair,”

    This hint, hint was not understood by some players. Thus, contributions were increasing in forums where players asked how they would come out from this situation. So a user wanted to know if it was possible to explore copy protection measures yet to make a profit again. Another wrote: “Why are there so many people who steal my game is ruining me, that’s not fair?”. “As a player, I had to laugh out loud: what an irony”, says game developer Patrick Klug this entry

    .

    According to the anonymous usage statistics of the brothers have legally purchased the game only 214 users and 3104 brought to the obviously cracked version. That’s more than 90 percent – despite a low price. For this money you get a DRM-free game that runs on Mac, Linux and Windows computers, and can also be copied to three separate computers.

    “We give people who can not buy a legal copy of itself because of money problems,” writes Patrick Klug. “With you I have no problems But the rest, who could afford the game should note the following:.. We are not wealthy and it will not be in the near future probably we are just two guys who ripped his ass have to start their own studio and developer to develop games that are fun. “

    What does the digitization of our society? What developments will shape the online age? What debates leading Internet thinkers now? These and other questions, the authors employ the digital blogs from Süddeutsche.de.

    Expensive Ignorance: Ministry scrapped 170 computer for viruses - STERN.DE

     viruses, Conficker, 170 computer, calculator, 187.300 EUR, Ministry

    expensive battle against computer viruses: A Ministry in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania replaced 170 computers infected with malicious software with new appliances ©

    V Irish, worms and Trojans are annoying not only on private computers. Above all, companies are afraid of cyber pests that could spy on explosive data and damage expensive hardware. If, despite all precautions, but once a computer is infected, the excitement is often large.

    the Ministry of Education in Schwerin, it was obviously too big: 170 Because of the computer teacher training institute IQMV were infested (Institute for Quality Development Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) in Schwerin, Rostock and Greifswald from relatively harmless Conficker worm, which were contaminated computer from the IT department summarily discarded and replaced with new equipment. The exchange with subsequent re-backup the user data cost 187,300 euros.


    Brand New Computer disposed

    Some of the equipment had still been “brand new” at the time of infection in September 2010, writes the “Ostsee-Zeitung”, which refers to an annual report by the Court of Audit of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The document already appeared in December 2012, but only now attracted attention. As it says in the report: “At the time of interference by ‘massive virus attack’, which was accompanied by significant limitations of the ability to work at the Institute, so there was no functioning IT security concept.”

    with free tools to remove the malicious software

    Instead, the devices were easily replaced at the expense of the taxpayer. “Alternatives to purchasing were not seriously considered,” the state audit. The cause of the infestation of the 170 computer is still unclear. “Protocols of the anti-virus software, despite repeated requests could be submitted only to the Greifswald”, criticized the report, where “however, was not a massive fund to remove viruses at the relevant time.”


    Human error?

    This was left open which computers were infected with malicious software, by which pest it is actually acted and whether “the virus scanner was configured incorrectly and that the outbreak is due to human or technical error.” Only one employee was entrusted to August 2010 with the support and supervision of the IT systems of teacher training institute, says the report of the Court of Audit.

    The conclusion of the examiner is clear: “The approach taken is not up to the principle of efficiency and economy.” Likewise chaotic as in fault diagnosis, the Ministry seems to have acted on replacement of the equipment: Only nine months after the costly replacement of the last PC in Rostock was put into operation

    Shit Storm against decelerator: Telecom examines the showdown - n-tv.de NEWS

    class=”category”> Technology

    Monday 29 April 2013

    Deutsche Telekom CEO René Obermann, it can get it: The severe criticism from users and politicians do not bring it on the plans for a data limit in the fixed network. The competition, meanwhile, prefer silent.

    Despite a storm of indignation keeps Telekom CEO Obermann to his plans for a fixed data limit. Despite a storm of indignation keeps Telekom CEO Obermann to his plans for a data-limit fixed (Photo: AP).

    After the shock with the decelerator Deutsche Telekom CEO René Obermann, after all the attention of the customers safe. For years, the telecommunications industry complains about high costs for the expansion of broadband networks, declining revenues and a too rigorous in their view regulation from Brussels. The announcement of data caps in the fixed network is the next escalation step in a years-long tug of war between telecom, supervisors and politicians – only this time consumers should be give to checkout

    .

    that are less than enthusiastic. Online forums are full of outraged comments in a week. An Internet petition against the plans already found more than 100,000 supporters. When Internet messaging service Twitter account of satire “@ drosselkom” has more than 6,000 subscribers. The jokes all hit the same line: “Please stay on the line and listen instantly on opening times to tweet about the scene The blow us up the lines!” or “Please do not use Skype., you will definitely find a pay phone near you”. Old enemy to live: The memory of the times when the telecom was considered portly service dinosaurs is still fresh

    .

    Ironically, the outgoing CEO René Obermann, who has done much in recent years for improving the image of telecom, now comes the important customers in the home market over the head. Even in the face of outrage he does not retreat. “The alternative would be a price increase for all customers, which would be neither wise nor fair to our eyes,” Obermann ticked off in an open letter to German Economics Minister Philipp Rösler (FDP).


    dispute over the cost of the broadband expansion

    Obermann’s argument: The vast majority of customers will not notice any difference at all. First, the data cap applies only to new contracts. In addition, the data volume of most customers is dramatically lower than the announced ceilings. “As of today, only about three percent of the customers would be affected by this price change.” But the decelerator will not enter into force immediately, but only 2016.

    That’s three years old – in the Internet era, a small eternity. Online video or music streaming, where flit especially many data packets through the network, are on the rise. Just this exploding data volumes also called the Telekom finally as a central reason for the need of more powerful networks. Whether it’s 2016 are still only three percent of the customers who want to push the telecom ceilings, so is another question.

  • Obermanns in his letter also sets a direction sideswipe policy. Entitled to unlimited volume of data there can not be – “at least not as long as the necessary billions of investment and operation of the network are to be provided privately.” The dispute over the cost of the broadband expansion between politics and telecom industry has been brewing for years. Require the telecom companies that their industry is not regulated. But they found it again on deaf ears. The European Commission set up by a drastic reduction of the once some exorbitant roaming rates for calls abroad. In Germany, the power rates have been cut repeatedly in mobile communications.

    Telekom could not prevail with her intention not to retain its VDSL fiber optic network in the first years in order to pocket “pioneer profits”. Last time they got less money than hoped for the passage of other data provider on the “last mile” to the customer connection. Competitors point out that the former monopolist can draw on once more taxpayer-funded infrastructure.

    competition in the industry also heard that the competitors can stand discreetly in the telecom shitstorm alone. Vodafone and other providers quickly stressed that they are not planning any limits of this kind. And the Managing Director of the Association of Broadband Communication (Breko), Stephan Albers, predicted in “Focus” do, be that of the Telekom “run away customers in droves” if the group holds on to the model.

    Volume limit for DSL tariffs - Deutsche Telekom CEO Obermann justifies speed limit - Süddeutsche.de

    The outrage was great when known, Telekom announced that they will introduce a volume limit on their DSL rates and prefer their own offers. Now, the company defended in an open letter: We therefore did not violate the net neutrality as “entertainment” is not an Internet Service

    .

    After fierce criticism of the proposed data-limits in the fixed network CEO René Obermann has plans in an open letter defending. “The alternative would be a price increase for all customers, which would be neither wise nor fair to our eyes,” Obermann argued in the letter to the German Economics Minister Philipp Rösler (FDP). He refers to the increase in data volumes and the billion investment that would provide for the expansion of the telecom networks.

    Telekom intends to introduce at flat rates for fixed limits on the volume of data, from which the speed is reduced drastically. Who wants to quickly surf the Internet, then this book could further data quota. The new regime is of 2 May, will be enshrined in the new contracts. To actually grab the decelerator but not before 2016. Obermann had both the accusation, Telekom contrary to the plan against net neutrality because their TV service will not count Entertain in the dataset.

    “The Internet as Videoload.de telecom services, telecom cloud and others are also included in the volume available individually such as the services of competitors, such as Google or Amazon.” Entertain is, however, no Internet service, “but one of the country’s media institutions regulated by separate television and media platform for our customers to pay an appropriate additional fee.”


    response to Rösler

    Obermann’s letter is dated last Thursday, he was released by the telecom late Sunday on the Internet. It was in response to a letter from Rösler middle of last week, which was immediately leaked to media. This was a result of the Minister “concerned” and warned of possible restrictions for flat rate customers. Federal Government and competition authorities would “pursue the further development in relation to a different treatment may own and other services very carefully in terms of net neutrality.”

    Telekom in Germany remains a dominant position: Seven out of ten German households have a telecom connection. The company has sovereignty over most lines. And the state is closely connected with the company as a major shareholder.

    The protests against the telecom company, meanwhile, plans to continue. Thus, the petition of 18-year-old high school graduates from Dusseldorf Malte Götz found on the protest platform Change.org more than 100,000 supporters. Goetz says, “Deutsche Telekom will own deals as entertainment, the volume of throttling means that customers are aware of other streaming providers at a disadvantage because the bandwidth is not sufficient at a certain point this is a cut in the network neutrality…” With its user-protest, he wants to move Telekom to rethink.
