Just something to fill this blog in while I am working on my assignments…
It is funny, let me tell you…
The same girl who gave me some Lamb of God tracks also told me that this music video is funny:
Now, I invite you to feel the hell I’ve gone through and barely survived.
And for those who thought that that is lamb of god… Dude… That is vanilla sky singing rihanna’s umbrela
Portal’s ending video here.
Here’s the lyrics:
Test Assessment Report
This was a triumph
I’m making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It’s hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science.
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.
Addendum:
I’m not even angry.
I’m being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
And we’re out of beta.
We’re releasing on time.
So I’m GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.
Addendum Addendum:
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you’ll find someone else
to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa…
THAT WAS A JOKE. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It’s so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
when there’s Science to do.
When I look out there,
it makes me GLaD I’m not you.
I’ve experiments to be run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive..
PS: And believe me I am
still alive.
PPS: I’m doing Science and I’m
still alive
PPPS: I feel FANTASTIC and I’m
still alive.
FINAL THOUGHT:
While you’re dying I’ll be
still alive.
FINAL THOUGHT PS:
And when you’re dead I will be
still alive.
STILL ALIVE
Enjoy, sing along.
FRIENDSTER IS CLOSING SOON!!!!!
from Mr. Allen Smith (Manager of Friendster)
Friendster system is getting too crowded!! We need you to forward this to at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number, but we need to find out who is really using their account. If you do not send this to at least 10 Friendster members, we will delete your account.
WARNING!
We want to find out which users are actually using their Friendster accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass this e-mail to every Friendster user that you can. IF YOU DO NOT PASS this letter to anyone. we will delete your account. Sorry for this inconvenience.
Is the content of the message spreading widely on the Friendster network. I don’t care about it, because I know very much that it is not true. Why? I’ll explain.
Firstly, the name ‘Allen Smith’ is pretty much as generic as ‘John Smith’. Frankly, I think the hoax will be much more believable if they use the name ‘Andrew Pulowski’. Seriously, generic names just saps the credibility of a message like a black hole.
Next, for each new member in Friendster, they will get more money, eitheer from advertising or whatever, the point is, more users mean smore money and more money means easier maintenance and no member cutout.
Now we’ll go to the technical details. What do you think a message is? Just a collection of characters being sent around? Exactly. The only thing identifying the sender are the ‘from’ field. Of course, Friendster can tell their servers to count every messages passed by their servers. But it’d be a hassle, not to mention pointlessly loading their servers. You see, rather than telling the users to spam each other, they would be better off putting a button on each of their user’s homepage and telling them to click it for a survey.
I can feel it. I know you can feel it, too. People screaming, economy drops, drastic measures taken, the weak and the olds were left behind, new weapons being built.
I’m talking about the high-end computer hardware battle. Nvidia releases a new video card, AMD answers by dropping their lineup prices, which was answered by Nvidia by releasing another product quietly, not mentioning changing their product names to be more… appropriate. And don’t make me start telling stories about the CPU battle. It’s even scarier.
Now, if you are still sane, you’re not gonna be thrilled to know that the newest-sexiest and guaranteed-to overclock-nicely hardware just come out this morning and put an order on it.
Normal people should be excited for at most a whole minute, and then regain their sanity. Because after that minute passed, they realize that the buzz is just as cheap as a nice used car.
Now, how much computer power (measured in computron, of course…) will a normal, sane user need?
For grandma’s everyday computing, a good old Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP is still sufficient to run email manager, word processor, and antivirus software. Give it at least 512MB of RAM (double that if she’s using windows vista) and she’ll love you more, at least. This will work for your mothers and aunts too..
For white-collar office workers, put together a rig with a nice CPU and case, cut corners for everything else, especially the RAM. You’ll have a good chance of being promoted into purchasing manager by doing this.
In the next category lies the holy, untouchable CAD workers. Nothing but the very best will do for them. Actually, if they calculate the price for the PC they’re using and found the result to be less than five digits, they’ll hate you and your descendants.
Young overclockers are the ones you will find in this category. Give ‘em newest-but-slowest processors, and a pair of RAM guaranteed not to burn, ever. For graphics deparment, they usually, but not always, want dual/triple/quad graphics card. And, of course, Terabytes of free harddrive space.
What about me, you ask? Well, overclockable low-end processor will suit me, ample amount of RAM, nice midrange graphics card, throw in a few hundred gigabytes of harddrive space and I’ll be happy.
Yes, I realize there are still many categories I haven’t mentioned, post them in the comments below if you will.
