Raúl wird ein Münchner



Vor wenigen Wochen hatte der Vorstandsvorsitzende des FC Bayern, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, einschneidende Veränderungen bezüglich der Transferpolitik angekündigt. Man sei nun bereit auch einmal "etwas verrücktes" zu machen, "neue Wege zu beschreiten" und "aggressiver" vorzugehen.

Wie aus, übereinstimmenden, spanischen Medienberichten heute hervorgeht, lassen die Münchner Verantwortlichen, im Gegensatz zu früheren Jahren, den Worten diesmal Taten folgen.
Sowohl die "Marca" als auch die "As" berichten von einer Einigung zwischen dem Münchner Nobelklub, dem spanischen Rekordtorschützen und dessen aktuellen Verein, Real Madrid.

Diese sei bereits im Vorfeld des Aufeinandertreffens der beiden Vereine, im Februar diesen Jahres (Champions League Hinspiel in Madrid), erzielt worden.
Laut "As" wolle Raúl "nach 13 Jahren in Madrid noch einmal etwas Neues erleben. Eine neue Herausforderung suchen. Und Bayern sei ein großer und ambitionierter Verein."

Zuletzt war der Kapitän der spanischen Nationalmannschaft beim spanischen Rekordchampion nicht mehr ganz unumstritten, und äußerte mehrfach Wechselgedanken.

Der 29-Jährige Spanier soll in München einen Dreijahresvertrag erhalten, der mit 4,5 Millionen Euro pro Jahr datiert ist. Die Ablöse soll umgerechnet rund 15 Millionen Euro betragen.

Eine offizielle Stellungnahme der beiden Vereine steht noch aus.

Es gibt wohl wieder Peseten in Spanien  ;)

Finally a permanent solution for the hosting

Today we announce that we're moving some of our servers to the North-Korean Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden.

After lenghty discussions with the leader of North Korea Kim Jong-Il we have decided to start a cooperation.

Some of the reasons are the extremely good bandwidth agreement we get - redundant fibre links, redundant power with diesel to last for four years makes the colocation a very good deal for us.

We are also promised immunity against foreign copyright holders and all of the crew will get North Korean citizenships.

"One of the reasons that we're doing the move is also that the Swedish King still haven't granted us a visit with his daughter. This ignorance towards the cultural benefits of having a site like The Pirate Bay can not be ignored." says Tiamo, one of the founders of The Pirate Bay.

We would like to thank Kim Jong-Il for the opportunity and we would like all of our users to review their current feelings towards this great nation!

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX/GTS' Killer Bug

Ever since NVIDIA released their revolutionary GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS graphics cards, users have been complaining about the poor Vista driver support and how these expensive cards have failed to improve their performance in games. That may now come to pass, in a manner of speaking.

An NVIDIA engineer, who wishes to remain anonymous, has just clued us in on the whole deal. This engineer claims that while allegations of poor gaming performance are correct, the reason is not really poor drivers. Brace yourselves for the truth.

Right after the G80 was taped out, NVIDIA discovered a bug in the vertex shader that causes the GPU to generate slightly incorrect geometry transformation data. The difference was minimal enough to escape attention but it was significant enough to render a scene incorrectly.

Now, what's the big deal about a slightly incorrect scene? After all, you can't even tell the difference between 2xAA and 4xAA. What would a slightly different scene matter when you are zipping along at 60+ fps? Well, that's what YOU think.

Here's the bummer. What it really means is that objects can be rendered off to one side. For FPS gamers, this can cause shots aimed at those objects (like your opponents) to miss when they should really hit. In RTS games, it may cause you to click on the wrong unit or send your units to attack a different target. So, yeah, you can now blame your poor gaming skills on a bug.

Real interview with Fake Steve Jobs

We got a precious few minutes to sit down and talk to the man himself. That's right, we landed a real interview with Fake Steve Jobs. In it, "El Jobso" reminisces about his drug-addled youth, what he does to the traitorous wretches that leak Apple products before they're launched, the questions they ask you when you apply for a job at Apple, and even how he really feels about my girlfriend. Not to be missed!

Principality of Sealand to Bid for 2016 Olympic Games

The Principality of Sealand, a self-proclaimed sovereign state off the coast of Britain will bid for the 2016 Olympic Games, GamesBids.com has learned. The tiny nation was founded in 1967 on an abandoned World War II sea fort by Roy Bates but is now ruled by his son, Michael, also known as Prince Michael of Sealand. The country is basically a large steel platform sitting on two giant concrete pylons.

Sources revealed that the bid was inspired by a devastating fire that struck the tiny island in June, 2006. The fire destroyed much of the infrastructure but it was rebuilt by November 2006 at a cost of over one million Sealand dollars (at par with the U.S. dollar). After the successful reconstruction, Sealander's realized that their potential exceeded all expectations and the island was ready for expansion.

"An Olympic bid would not only show to the world that we are ready to expand and build, it would also give us the incentive to do so" a Sealander told GamesBids.com by telephone.

The tiny nation sought inward investment and was even for sale last January – but now believes an Olympic bid may be the best way to grow.

Sealand has yet to receive membership in the International Olympic Committee, a key step towards a national bid, but the Principality already has an Olympic team of one. The country's "Athleta Principalatis" was proclaimed in 2004 to be a marathon runner who is currently a dual-citizen of Canada residing in Oakville, Ontario.

David Blackburn told the Toronto Star in 2004 that he aimed to run the marathon at the Summer Olympics.

"Running for Sealand is a big deal, knowing that what they did was so incredibly difficult – founding a nation on an old World War II platform in the middle of the ocean," he said.

Sealand's involvement in international sport dates back to 2004 when they formed an international football team (hosted by the Danish team in Vestbjerg). Now Sealand is home to a nine team national league that plays their scheduled Games in various places in England. This is the kind strategy Sealand plans to use to host the Games.

"Expansion potential of the island is extremely limited, we may only be able to host some basic sports here such as trampoline and wrestling and of course yachting and rowing in the sea", the source said, "but we hope to team up with England to complete the package."

The 2012 Olympic Games will be hosted in London, not too far from Sealand's off-shore location. With all of the facilities already in place, Sealand hopes to borrow them for a couple of weeks in 2016.

"Such a deal would help offset some of the cost over-runs that London 2012 is currently experiencing and trying to deal with. We'll be happy to share the revenue with them."

But Sealand hopes to host the marquee opening and closing ceremonies at home by arranging borrowed aircraft carriers surrounded by cruise ships for spectators in its own territorial waters.

"Imagine a floating Olympic Stadium where spectators can watch events from their own suite or dining room."

Bid applications for 2016 are due into the IOC by September 15. Sealand will have to compete with several other bids including those from Tokyo, Rome, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, Qatar and either Los Angeles or Chicago to win the hosting privilege. The final vote will take place in 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
