| The Day Napster Died |
Here is a really cool parody song by Dave Reed (http://mcfumbler.com/best/dave-nap.html)
It's sang to the tune of 'American Pie'. Funny ... happy singing
'American Lawyers'
A long, long time ago... I can still remember when
Computers used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance,
I'd make those small beige speakers dance,
And maybe I'd be happy for a while.
July 2000 angered me,
And other fans of MP3,
Bad news I'd collected...
Just couldn't get connected...
I remember my first day,
With Windows 3, and MAplay,
The corporate lawyers got their way,
The day that Napster died.
So, ..Bye, bye, had a very last try,
Sent some packets to the server, but it didn't reply
So the good ol' boys slowly e-mail their files
Saying this will be the disc that I buy
this will be the disc that I buy.
Do you know TCP/IP?
And can you code in ANSI C?
Get those Napster clones ready to go....
Do you believe in Metallica's goals?
Can Dr. Dre save your mortal soul?
And does Napster really make the LAN so slow?
Well I thought it all was pretty grand
when I dumped my modem, got broadband
My transfer rates were swell
The lawyers could go to hell!
I was a lonely teenage music fan
with an 3-click fix for the Metallica ban
And I knew the shit had hit the fan
The day Napster died.
I started singin'...
Bye, bye, had a very last try,
Sent some packets to the server, but it didn't reply
So the good ol' boys slowly e-mail their files
Saying this will be the disc that I buy
this will be the disc that I buy.
Now for many weeks we've ignored the threat
And we haven't solved the problem yet
But that's not how it used to be...
The artists, slaves to the industry,
Exploited like no-one should be,
Only making a few cents per sold CD,
The fat execs were looking pleased,
Preserving near-monopolies,
The courtroom was adjourned,
The verdict was returned.
So Gnutella tried it peer-to-peer,
The lawyers then had more to fear,
But the protocol was flawed,
The system was ignored,and we were singin'...
Bye, bye, had a very last try,
Sent some packets to the server, but it didn't reply
So the good ol' boys slowly e-mail their files
Saying this will be the disc that I buy
this will be the disc that I buy.
The media megacorps go to war,
Want more control than ever before,
The Internet begins its rapid death
Load IE5, to search on Yahoo!
But find that that's been shut down too!,
So what's a bored computer nerd to do?
I've still got all my MP3s
On discs and tapes and burned CDs
We still try to log on
We just want one more song...
Cause the R-I-A-A took the field,
And Hollerith refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed,
The day Napster died?We started singing...
Bye, bye, had a very last try,
Sent some packets to the server,
but it didn't reply
So the good ol' boys slowly e-mail their files
Saying that might be a disc that I'd buy,
that might be the disc that I'd buy.
There we were all in a state
A generation - really late
With no time left to start again.
We tried going back to IRC, and ICQ and FTP,
Encrypting songs with PGP,
The battle lost, the war had just begun?
But dot-com stocks fall through the floor,
The advertisers all withdraw,
The Internet, it was no more
Destroyed by corporate greed and clueless laws.
The memories fade, into the night,
Of downloading those sacred bytes,
Then listening with delight.
The day Napster died.
I met a girl on IRC,
We traded songs via DCC,
And chatted of the good old Napster days,
I went down to the PC store,
Where I'd first seen Winamp, years before
But the man there said the new songs wouldn't play.
Behind their screens, the geeks, they screamed,
The 'w@r3z d00dz' cried and the coders dreamed,
The lawyers, they has spoken.The Napster client was broken.
And the three things I connect to most
The Website, LAN, and Napster hosts
Every single one was toast
The day Napster died.And they were singin'...
Bye, bye, had a very last try,
Sent some packets to the server,but it didn't reply
So the good ol' boys slowly e-mail their files
Saying' let the music industry die!...''Let the music industry die!....' |

| Game Ideas |
Since there are a lot of sucky games out there , I thought out a few more sucky games for those who are looking for new ideas and gameplay mechanics to kill the average mind ... HEre they are free of charge.
GT Mechanic - Here you play as a pit stop crew for those Gran Turismo racers. You get to (hold your breath) change tires for the cars that comes into the pit stop ! Wow .. that is sooo cool ! If you manage to change tires fast enough , you'll probably get into a 'Challange Screen' where you get to play some dancing game with the race queen (think Dance Dance Revolution). Every now and then a different type of car comes in that you have never handled before (of course, since you only change tyres it makes no difference to you) You also have a special button which, when you press, will allow you to go into a slow-mo mode where both the game and you move in slow motion speed allowing you to fully appreciate the tyre textures. When you change too many tyres and fail too many of the dance routines you will get 'stressed'. When your character in the game gets 'stressed' you will start seeing strange things like dancing pink elephants in pink bloomers (the Japanese ones, not the Victorian age ones .. though with their pronounciation would it shoud be written as Buruma ) Eventually when you get stressed enough you will have a special option to commit suicide by lying down under one of the cars that you just changed tires. If you do well you get to leave your virtual wife and marry a Race Queen of your choice. The actual process of getting the divorce is handles through a new innovative game engine where you automatically lose everything you have unless you can prove that the 'wife' in the game has been having an affair with someone , for this you will be given a clue .. tyre marks on your driveway .. you have to match this with the cars that you change tyres for to find the culprit. If you are able to guess correctly the divorce will not leave you bereft with everything , you'll get the six-packs in the fridge and also ALL OF YOUR CLOTHES !!! Cool huh ... This game supports the use of a driving wheel but it doesn't do anything except allows you to rotate the screen.
The Wife - This is a RTS (real-time strategy) where you have to juggle resource management, unit production (read : kids) and other weird and mundane stuff (like burning rugs). The idea here is to run a family while making sure your units (read : kids ) don't get destroyed. You have to control the main character in the game , The Mother and use her to feed the kids, change the diapers, clean up the house, settle arguements between childrens, pick up toys on the floor, do the laundry, fetch beer for the useless couch-potato husband, create new family-subunits ( read : kids) cook breakfast, read bedtime stories, lunch and dinner and of course handle a career (probably as a neurosurgeon who is on call 22 hours a day). Every now and then diasaster will strike and you have to deal with issues such as teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquncy, the occasional cheat-husband and divorce. The pace of the game will be fast and furious and is not recommended for males as their head might just blow up when they play it.
World Of Craft - This is a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) here you get to create a character and role play it online. You can choose from a multitude of unique races such as 'Humans', 'Fat Ugly Green Guys', 'Undead Skeletal Looking Bulimics', 'Practically Unclothed Amazon Woman' and even 'Weird Looking Unnamed Race'. In this game you choose a race and a character class (this is like a job like Bartendering, Shoemaking, Couch-Potatoing and stuff like that) .. after that you have to work for a living. Constantly clicking on the mouse earns you Gold Peices which you can use to upgrade your skills to .. well ... do more work faster. The cool thing here is the interaction between all the online people , you'll be able to trade for 'services' (The 'Practically Unclothed Amazon Woman' race have a multitude of 'services' to offer as they cannot hold a regular job .. it's a game restriction to make the races unique). They can also chat, make alliances and even get married in the game. It all depends on how you communicate .... for example a Level 25 'Fat Ugly Green Guy' who has the character class of 'Office Clerk' named Joe Nolife who has saved enough money will advertise that he is looking for a suitable partner. Then he will not get any replies for days. Instead if he additionally mentions that he has like 5 million Gold Pieces stashed in his account he will suddenly be swamped with a variety of e-mails for chat requests. He then chooses sexybritanny80@woc.com and chats with her and finally agrees to marry her as she is a level 1 'Practically Unclothed Amazon Woman' and needs his help to 'level' up. ('She' is actually in fact Siriuz who also convinces Joe Nolife to send him tickets so that 'she' can come visit him in person cause he 'fascinates her' .. oh and make sure the tickets are business class) |

| Serenity Prayer |
My cousin Vinoth posted about the Serenity Prayer in his blog (http://www.vinaldo.blogspot.com). Since I am not really in a good state of mind (flu) I'll just write about the prayer ...
Well here is the prayer if you haven't heard of it before :
Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
This prayer is often used in programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous and stuff. Some people find that the usage of the term 'accepting' is a bit callous (in the case of say .. murder or rape) but some people argue that 'accept' is defferent from 'condone'. Some people have made parodies of this prayer such as :
Serenity Prayer Parody
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I cannot accept,
and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had
to kill today because they pissed me off.
And also, help me to be careful
of the toes I step on today,
as they be connected to the ass
that I may have to kiss tomorrow.
Help me to always give 100% at work...
12% on Monday.
23% on Tuesday.
40% on Wednesday.
20% on Thursday.
5% on Friday.
And help me to remember...
When I'm having a really bad day,
and it seems that people are trying to piss me off,
that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 4...
to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me!
Amen. |

| Male Singers and Weird Voices |
I am currently listening to some Crazy Frog songs. It's weird how something as asinine as a guy with a weird voice and calling himself a 'crazy frog' can become such a big hit. Weird. Maybe I should come up with an album too ... then I can be Crazy Bear .. or something like that. Siriuz can play the belly bongo and I can sing in some gay-assed weird voice and suddenly we will be adored by millions of screaming raving fans.
Now that I think about it a lot of the top male singers/band uses either a weird voice or uses falsetto. Think James Blunt, Adam Levine (Maroon5) and Kevin Little. Hmmmm... new trend ? Well guess at least its different ... |

| Impatience Kills |
Was catching up on the news .. been a bit out of touch with the world recently. Came across the Hajj related deaths where stampeding muslims caused the death of their fellow muslims during the Hajj. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1204816.stm)
It's sad how people become stupid when they are put into groups .. the bigger the number the higher the chance for them to all become stupid and easy to panic. I see this phenomenon everywhere, in Hindu temples (yes, my mom drags me there evern now and then) where there are around 50 - 80 people crowding around you'll be able to experience everything from the dreaded 'Mantis Elbow Strike Of Death' , 'No Shadow Back Push', "Shaolin Bull Rush' and my all time favourite 'Lead Foot Of Chaos'. For some weird reason the perpertraitor of these killer kung fu moves are not the unshaven rugged looking guys, instead you have haggard looking 'aunties' in their sarees and bedecked in their finest jewellry trying to shove the spleen out of you or at least to rupture a kidney or two. I always wondered if the amount of jewellery is directly connected to their ability to 'kung fu' the poor unsuspecting guy in front of them (namely me). Maybe everytime they end up killing someone by using their moves they are allowed to put a new piece on, perhaps that is what motivates them.
Let's hope this kind of incidents doesn't happen anymore .. It's quite sad to die. Even sadder when you're crushed to death. What makes it worse is that there is no reason to stampede and kill people .... all they required was A LITTLE PATIENCE ... sigh.
Remember the sign boards that read " Speed Kills" , I don't think they are accurate. It should be changed to 'Impatience Kills'.
Special Message To The Legions Of People Who Go Around Trampling ME In Temples
If any of you saree wrapped jewellery bedecked 'aunties' are reading this ... lay off the damn kung fu moves damn it ! I am quite sure god wouldn't want you to trample me in order for you to reach the priest. I'm too evil to die that easily, I am sure he/she/they have much worse things planned. Besides, you don't really want blood on your saree right ? So lay off the pushings and shoving. OK ? Good .. good . Now go and do the gene pool a favour, go and jump off the closest cliff you can find.
Thank you
&
Have a nice day

| Prayer To St Peter |
This is the lyrics from Edwin Mccain's 'Prayer To St. Peter' . The song originated from a poem that was scribbled in some hospital around World War 2.
Edwin McCain
Prayer To St. Peter
(Album : Messenger)
Let them in, Peter
For they are very tired
Give them couches where the angels sleep
And light those fires
Let them wake whole again
To brand new dawns
Fired by the sun
Not war-times bloody guns
May their peace be deep
Remember where the broken bodies lie
God knows how young they were
To have to die
You know God knows how young they were
To have to die
Give them things they like
Let them make some noise
Give dance hall bands not golden harps
To these our boys
Let them love Peter
For they've had no time
They should have bird songs and trees
And hills to climb
The taste of summer
And a ripened pear
And girls as sweet as meadow wind
And flowing hair
And tell them how they are missed
But say not to fear
It's gonna be all right
With us down here
Let them in, Peter
For they are very tired
Give them couches where the angels sleep
And light those fires
Let them wake whole again
To brand new dawns
Fired by the sun
Not war-times bloody guns
May their peace be deep
Remember where the broken bodies lie
God knows how young they were
To have to die
You know God knows how young they were
To have to die
And tell them how they are missed
But say not to fear
It's gonna be all right
With us down here
It's gonna be all right
With us down here |

| Zoom-Zoom new Mazda 6 |
Just read a news about new Mazda 6 launch at December last year (2.0 L MT). For all the people who know Mazda 6 would probably know this car only have 5 gear automatic. But this new Mazda 6 is equip with 6 gear manual. Which mean it will have more power (0-100 need only 9.7 s), less fuel consumption(5.9L/100km or 0.096c/km if u in Malaysia) and more fun to drive. This car have the maksimum speed of 211km and also have a big space to carry stuff. So who ever can affort it should probably consider buying Mazda 6
(This is just a news and not a advertisment)Ha! |

| Answer |
I don't really know what is "Omnipotent Paradox" (attempt to read and understand but my level in reading English is........) however I get the idea from warlock question. How about this:
First, God create a small stone which is so small that can lift by an ant. Then The God turn to become smaller than an ant. So the God create a stone that cannot lift by the God. Although the stone originally can be lift by the God. By changing the size. Stone become unliftable. Is this answer the question? I don't know. So I think this answer is as conflict as the question. Haha. |

| The Omnipotent Paradox |
Ok , I'll admit it .. I am damn lazy to type much today .... so I'll make it short.
I was reading up articles in wikipedia as usual and I came up with one really cool one. It is called the Omnipotent Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence_paradox ).
The basic idea behind this paradox is :
a) God is omnipotent ...
b) Means : he can do pretty much anything , right ? No limits for him ... if there are any limits then it is meaningless to say that god is omnipotent
c) so the question here is ... can God create a stone so heavy that even he cannot lift ?
If ..
a) God can create the stone and it is too heavy for him to lift, then god cannot be omnipotent
b) If God can't create something that even he cannot lift that means there is something god cannot do ... which makes him/her not omnipotent.
Gets your brain working doesn't it ?

It's an online encyclopedia It's FREE and it covers a broad range of topics ... What more can you ask for ?
Ever wonder what the heck I am talking about when I blab on about DOTA ? Go on and search ...
Wonder what the storyline for 24 the TV series is ? Go ahead and search it ...
Wanna know how a Wankell Rotary Engine works ? It's there ...
Talk about covering a broad range of topics huh ...

Damn , I wanna be a cat too ....

I found what has gotta be one of the weirdest website on sexuality .. it about Plushophiles. O_0
If you are wondering what that means .. by all means do go to http://velocity.net/%7Egalen/index.html and read the FAQ ...
WARNING : The contents of the said website might not be safe to be viewed in the office .. or by any other people with 'normal' tastes. Basically if you have lots of plush toys and you like them , please DO NOT go to the site ... you'll never see your plush toys the same way again ....
Why is it that everytime I see a pothole on the road and I try to avoid it , I END UP GOING OVER IT ! For once , it would be nice if I can actually avoid a pothole . Of course , when I don't notice it I usually miss it ... or i think i should miss it. Since if I don't notice it , I won't know that there was a pothole for me to miss in the first head .. but then ...

| A post |
Wow! Long time since my last post. Been busy with daily work so not enough time to read through the blog until now. I guess i will have more free time from now on.
Finally reclaim my Gamer status by finish 2 games in a week. One is Prince of Persia - the two throne and another one is F.E.A.R. Both are very good game. Can't tell much here seeing Warlock haven't finish the game yet (evil smile:)).
So have a look at the girl in FEAR!!!

| Human Nature .. |
It's funny how we humans always tend to get into 'groups' then get paranoid about other 'groups' and constantly stay in fear or some form of discomfort. We have in a broad sense 'countries' which are nothing more than lines on a map. Those from Country A feel that they are different from those from Country B , they feel smug and superior to their neighbours because they are better at some stuff than their neighbours. People from Country B feel that the nighbouring Country A is opressing them / feel jealous / insert whatever dumb excuse here / and use it as an excuse to be hostile/competetive , this then proceeds bring about dissatisfaction and leads to bad stuff ...
This is just the general model, you can see that the same analogy can be applied to social status, race, states, political beliefs, religion and even ideology. Seems to me that we humans are just looking for an excuse to band together and look down on other people ....
I see it everytime a bunch of people from one race makes fun of another . When one country thinks that it's way of doing things is better and tries to impose it's beliefs on other countries, when religious people go around trying to convince others that their beliefs are 'wrong' and only their religion is the 'correct' one that offers salvation.
Sigh
When are we going to look around , open our eyes and realize that no matter what the colour of our skin is, no matter what our ideologies are, no matter what god we pray to , no matter where we choose to live .. we all all brothers and sisters (in a wide sense of the term). We don't even need to accept the differences , we just have to remember that different people have different tastes, opinions and such and we shouldn't be quick to hate or disrespect people for that.
Just give peace a chance , look through the other guys point of view before we condemn or look down on people ..... sometimes you might find that they aren't all that bad.

| MIlitary Euphemisms |
I was reading up on some of the military euphemisms which was used or are still being used by the military. Here is some of my favourites :
FUBAR - Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition. This is used to refer to missions profiles that totally gets screwed up causing the soldiers to improvise of retreat. Other acronyms used in the same vein are TOFU (Things Ordinary : Fucked Up) , SAPFU (Surpassing All Previous Fuck-Ups), SUSFU (Situation Unchanged : Still Fucked Up) and of course my personal favourite TUIFU (The Ultimate In Fuck-Ups).
ADJUSTMENT OF THE FRONT - A nicer way of saying 'retreat' . The word 'Retreat' doesn't exist in modern military euphemism, instead they conduct RETROGRADE MANEUVERS or REDEPLOY THEIR FORCES. When surrounded and in a totally FUBAR condition the military just EXFILTRATES. It's interesting to note that the first use of alternative slanf for retreat was first recorder being used by a Macedonian commander named Antigonus Gonatas around 250 BC who refused to admit that he had retreated and insted described his movement as A STRATEGIC MOVEMENT TO THE REAR .
I also found the origins behind the much used " BUY THE FARM" or "BOUGHT THE FARM" for years I have been using it without knowing what it really means. Edward Estlin Cummings wrote in a poem " Nobody Loses All The Time"which is about an 'Uncle Sol' who was a failure in every farm he buys in life , when he finally dies he managed to achieve sucess .... by starting a worm farm :P
Here is the poem if you are interested :
nobody loses all the time
i had an uncle named
Sol who was a born failure and
nearly everybody said he should have gone
into vaudeville perhaps because my Uncle Sol could
sing McCann He Was A Diver on Xmas Eve like Hell itself which
may or may not account for the fact that my Uncle
Sol indulged in that possibly most inexcusable
of all to use a highfalootin phrase
luxuries that is or to
wit farming and be
it needlessly
added
my Uncle Sol's farm
failed because the chickens
ate the vegetables so
my Uncle Sol had a
chicken farm till the
skunks ate the chickens when
my Uncle Sol
had a skunk farm but
the skunks caught cold and
died and so
my Uncle Sol imitated the
skunks in a subtle manner
or by drowning himself in the watertank
but somebody who'd given my Uncle Sol a Victor
Victrola and records while he lived presented to
him upon the auspicious occasion of his decease a
scrumptious not to mention splendiferous funeral with
tall boys in black gloves and flowers and everything and
i remember we all cried like the Missouri
when my Uncle Sol's coffin lurched because
somebody pressed a button
(and down went
my UncleSol
and started a worm farm) |

| We are star stuff |
When the world was created it was created from the cooling of stellar material which was spewed out from the stars. These material provided the raw material for everything from proteins and other complex molecules ... even living forms. When we really look at it, all lifeform are actually made from 'star-stuff'. We are the universe given form.
There is a bit of the universe in each and every one of us. When you look at life from that point of view it's incredible. You can almost believe that the universe is alive and it is trying to discover the meaning of existence through us (from the Babylon 5 TV series). Makes you feel that you are part of something bigger and that life isn't just random chaos connected by events.
I wonder if the reason we humans are so curious has something to do with a deep seated cosmic-vibration with the universe and it's need to understand itself (yeah, at this point im raving)
Hmm, star stuff. I like the idea of that .

Yeah baby ! New Year is here !!
....
..............
............................
hmmm... still can't see anything that exciting about it . Life goes on as usual . Maybe I should have got myself totally drunk and plastered onto the wall .....
Well had dinner with the family .. seafood , yum yum . Met up with some buddies in Starbucks (RM 14 for a cuppa coffee .... daylight robbery !) and that is about it ..
Well to symbolise the new found energy and resolve for this coming year I decide to play DOTA first thing in the morning ! Yeah ... (yeah . i am one sad fellow)
Well seeing as how my New Year resolution was to stop posting junk raves on the blog this means I have allready broken it :P .. maybe this gives me the shortest New Year resolution record.
Well , until then .. HAPPY NEW YEAR ! |
