China brings birth control to the masses

27 augustus 2006 in Geen categorie

While everyone is touting China’s industrial revolution, nobody seems to care about their birthcontrol politics. I mean, we know about Chinese deathcamps and the one child-per-family law. But did you know they have forced abortions and sterilisations too?

German soldiers to guard the holy land

26 augustus 2006 in Geen categorie

Germany is sending Wehrmacht ground troops to Israel afterall. 1200 to be precize. It’s still unclear which piece of barbed wire will be guarded by these nice European fellows.

These troops are additional to the frigate that was promised by the Kriegmarine navy earlier this week.

You might want to check this if you are emotionally shocked by these German troops so near the holy land?

If armed Germans near the Jewish home country give you warm and fuzzy feelings, then you might want to visit this lovely Indian eatery for a nice and healthy Krakauer.

With the releasedate of Windows Vista finally coming closer (somewhere in 2007) and the implementation of InstoreConnect happening at world record speeds, it’s clear that Take 2 Interactive has been put under severe pressures to work miracles. Yes, you guessed it right: the release of Duke Nukem Forever is immenent. Pre-ordering can be done through Amazon.

September 29, 2006. Better remember that date folks, because someday you will have to explain to your grandchildren that it was the day that our Duke was brought back from the archives to Nuke On forever.

Steam mop: Euro 79,99. Revolutionary … or so the shop advertisement says. Do you have it too? Sometimes you have no idea what you are going to do with it, but you just want to have it. Read more…

That’s a very cool ‘error’ page.

Battery recall …

15 augustus 2006 in Technologie

So it then finally seems that battery compression has reached it’s utter limits. Too many cells in too little space. One crack and ‘boom‘. Really nice to know since all upcoming wireless technologies (WiFi, HSDPA, Wimax) are really, really powerhungry. So why not sticking that nifty new wireless phone in your trouserpockets and fry your balls? Lovely.

In the meantime Dell is recalling 4.1 million (yes, 4.100.000) batteries put in notebooks produced between April 2004 and July 2006. And since those batteries were produced by Sony, you don’t have to worry about your PSP, Walkman or Handycam. Have fun!

Peace in our time!

Yes and the United Nations again brokered some time to save face. This time the Israeli army has to retreat from Lebanon, while the Gang of God must disarm. Interesting, because the latest UN resolution already called for the disarmament of the Hizbollah figher wing. That resolution led to the purchase of 12.000 missiles of which apx. 4.500 were fired at Israel, with another 5.0000 destroyed by the IDF. How lovely. Read more…

Al Qaeda found in Zwolle

Cleaning up my basement revealed this nice ‘ready-to-mix’ combination of fluids. This shelve contains some menure, three kinds of oil (totalling 20 litres), strong cleaning vinager, ammonia, white gas and armament cleaning fluids.

Since the basement is still kind of ‘under construction’, nails, screws and other small pointy things are nearby in great masses. Ehmmmmm ….

So, Minister Donner, I will probably see your boys paying a visit someday soon then.

Bon appetit.

You wanna buy a piece of vomit?

13 augustus 2006 in Geen categorie

They call it blubber mouth, it comes from a sperm whale and it sells for Euro 15 a gram to the parfume industry.

A girl in England found some and made roughly 5000 euros.

Yikes.

Ubuntu or Debian?

13 augustus 2006 in Technologie

Both Linux distro’s derive from the same sources. So, what’s the difference then? Must be quite something as complete tribes are fighting eachother online about which one is the best.
