Es wird eng für BMW
Hinter dem von Audi "Sigleframe-Kühlergrill" genannten, riesigen Beatmungs-Trapez steckt ein Sechs-Liter-Zwölfzylinder, der 450 PS (331 kW) leistet, die Fuhre in 5,2 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 und in 17,4 Sekunden von 0 auf 200 km/h treibt. Bei Tempo 250 bremst dann die Elektronik den Vorwärtsdrang des allradgetriebenen Fahrzeugs.

Nachi-Wurm infizierte US-Geldautomaten
Nach einem Bericht des Sicherheitsmagazins SecurityFocus sind im August Geldautomaten zweier US-Banken mit dem Nachi-Wurm infiziert worden. Die Geldautomaten (ATM, Automatic Teller Machines) wurden von der Firma Diebold hergestellt und laufen mit Embedded Windows XP. Der Hersteller ist ausgerechnet derjenige, der auch die umstrittenen US-Wahlmaschinen herstellt: Den Diebold-Wahlmaschinen wiesen Wissenschaftler schwere Sicherheitslücken nach; um interne Diebold-Dokumente gibt es mittlerweile einen heftigen Rechtsstreit.

When Cash Is Only Skin Deep

Under Silverman's plan, rather than swiping a bank card to make purchases, micro-chipped customers would scan themselves using special readers.

Venus has 'heavy metal mountains'
The highlands of Venus are covered by a heavy metal "frost", say planetary scientists from Washington University.

Sex on Tuesday: Worth Embarrassing Your Folks
A few months back, a couple of reactionary “Christian” zealots got their panties in a bunch when I encouraged men to play with their butt-holes. Last week, the powers that be posted a link to my column on fark.com, which resulted in 39,000 hits to the Daily Cal Web site, leaving me flattered but amazed that my thoughts on female ejaculation could draw that much attention.
