CIA / Slient_Bob Case Update.

| Comments

Well there is reason behind it. I was following up on the Silent_Bob case. Nothing to report yet, but I am following up on some great leads:

  1. The CIA currently has 10 operatives searching for Silent_Bob (information accredited to hacker: duder)
  2. Offenses are still unknown but could be related to the CS Assasin back in 2000 who used a USP silenced that police believe is still at large. (60 murders all over the country are accredited to this unknown killer. The police have a suspect sketch that I was able to obtain from FBI Top 10 Most Wanted page. I have attached it below)

That is all for now. I will be continuing the investigation until I find the truth.

Gentoo Enters the 21st Century

| Comments

Let me be the first to welcome Gentoo into the 21st Century. Creating an Installer instead of a 40 page ‘Handbook’ was a bold and innovative move. In this bold move they have enticed new blood to this awesome distro such as the renowned Silent_Bob who now goes under the alias thesb to avoid FBI and CIA warrants, but that is another story altogether. (Which I will follow-up on if you, the reader, comment and tell me to) But back to Gentoo. USE flags as CHECK BOXES!

Ok, yes, again. It has been a while. But I am back. I got a new Wireless PCMCIA card (ORiNOCO a/b/g Combo Card Gold). So far it is a great card.

Back to the Basics

Age of Empires II – Age of Kings. That is a great game. It has something that not a lot of games have these days. Which is replay value. Once you beat a game, that is it. No more fun. You know all the secrets.

That is where MMORPG came into the picture. But still most of them are still lacking. You can get to Level 60 or Level 70 and you have reached the top. You get stuck. So how does one make the prefect game? Easy make it last forever. Now you want to know how you do that? Aren’t you selfish! Do I have to tell you everything?

Well since you aren’t going to answer me I’ll just assume that you mean yes. Well you make a game last forever by making it a game that you play with your buddies, with your friends. Make it a social event basically. Now I don’t expect a game to start dispensing beer (although that would be a great feat). But make it something that rivals going out to… say the mall when you are bored, or even a movie theatre.

Now, you have to make it enjoyable. Make computer rivals so you can co-op with your buddy. Make more levels of difficulty than Easy, Medium, and Hard (and Legendary). Call MIT and ask for a AI with some ooomph. Put cheats in the game. For some people, cheating makes the game MORE enjoyable. For others it does not. But at least give them the option to do it. Well, except in multiplayer mode. hmm more later…

Last Day!!

Today is my last day on a looooog…. 12 hour shift work week. Right now I am hating my life. (Just because of work). It is so busy that I actually have to take a second of it to settle down and moan and complain. So here it is:

Intro to Programming (Java)

| Comments

Right now I am taking a class called “Intro to Programming”. And yup! you guessed it! The first assignment is to make a Hello World program. For those who don’t know, that is the Globaly accepted first assignment for programming languages, be it HTML, Java, C++, PHP, python, or Assembly. Now this is where I get to voice my opinion of Java so far: It bites! Any language that makes you write 3 lines of code just to print “Hello World” is gay. And another thing! You have to be EXACT on every command you do or your screwed, and WTF is a Class path, why the hell do you get so many errors if you don’t specify one? Gay. Sorry, rage gone (Dr Pepper system is restored). Suggestion to all those who are taking Intro to programming, START WITH PYTHON.

USMC: Crack Down on Tats

(This is a joke) IN BREAKING NEWS: The Marine Corps has adopted the no Tat policy. In this bold move, it is Dishonorably discharging 80% of it’s current personnel due to this new “Clean or Out” program.

Toilet Peril

| Comments

One should never be made to make a decision such as the one I’m about to share with you: Where I work, there are two Male restrooms. One is downstairs, still within ‘hurry’ distance, and the other is just across the hall. You are probably thinking, ‘Where is the decision in that?’. Well this is where it gets interesting. Both are alright for number 1 traffic. No big deal, in and out. But number 2 is a different story. Here are the stats on both restrooms:

Upstairs: 3 stalls, one is out of order (Stall 2). Stall 1 never stops flushing (so when you wipe, your hand gets wet), Stall 3 will flush, so fast that it will actually make your pants wet.. no matter what.. (this thing gets distance) and the whole bathroom is pretty dirty. Although this bathroom is nice and warm. (See the next line for why this is an important statement)

Downstairs: 2 stalls, freezing cold, so cold that constipation is a natural reaction. On the upside, it is always clean and hardly anyone is ever in there so, if you are ‘loud’ you have the convience. Again, it is down a flight of stairs.

Which would you choose?

Why would someone ‘test your email’ to a extremely random user?
