not sure if that was the same show i saw. but that's what i was thinking when i read that. they had 2 or 3 teams, one used a remote controlled model airplane to carry the life buoy to the person, another team built some kind of mortar which was in fact a t-shirt cannon. after tweaking targetting with a computer to assist against wind they successfully delivered the life buoy within a few metres to the person in the water.

yes here: http://mofo.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=7309710

the articel on massively has quite some facts wrong anyway. the alliance that guy was in had an active war declaration going (during that their opponents are allowed to shoot them even in the normal safe "empire"). So it was in fact sheer stupidity to undock with such valuable cargo in such a fragile ship during an active war. The attackers didin't even knew that he was carrying the PLEX's. Without checking they also blew up the wreck. But that didn't matter anyways since they all blew up anyway (there is a chance for the cargo to drop intact and then it'd be retreivable from the resulting ship wreck).
In game news reported the victim already left the game for good. No wonder, he's now the laughing stock for almost the whole playerbase. *g*

Best Man Rigs Newlyweds' Bed To Tweet During Sex 272

When an UK man was asked to be the best man at a friend's wedding he agreed that he would not pull any pranks before or during the ceremony. Now the groom wishes he had extended the agreement to after the blessed occasion as well. The best man snuck into the newlyweds' house while they were away on their honeymoon and placed a pressure-sensitive device under their mattress. The device now automatically tweets when the couple have sex. The updates include the length of activity and how vigorous the act was on a scale of 1-10.

i agree that (sadly) the majority of germans seems uninterested in any sort of politics. (although many other countries share the same problem).

what adds up to this misery is that the biggest newspaper in germany was somehow supporting the censorship by spreading propaganda by dissing everyone opposing the the law as "child-porn-supporters" including but not limited to a few politicians from established political parties but also CCC / AK Zens_ur / Piratenpartei (german Pirate Party). with the main stream media incompentent of realizing the consequences and actively working against the freedom and rights of the citizens all we can hope for is the "Bundesverfassungsgericht" (german constitutional court). If they don't prevent this law i'll lose the last bit of hope for this country as the german constitution says "There is no censorship."
