The best video on the Internet

Who said I'm not good at hardware?

Dax Flame, awesome kid

I watched all his videos and if he's fake he's truly amazing but if he is not fake I'm really sorry for him...

He talks in one of his videos about a PEE FIGHT with a classmate. That's one of the funniest things I ever heard. Some people think he is "resmarted" :)) Someone makes fun of him in this video but he is not gay and I posted this only because it describes him so well. If you don't have something interesting to do I recommend watching his videos.

people

I can't understand those that shake their head without saying anything instead of saying hi. I walk into class and people shake their head instead of saying hi! It's absolutely idiotic!! Anywayz... this is something I wanted to post some time ago but I don't really have time for blog these days because WASL is coming up and I'm having some issues with the computer. I also can't understand people that don't mimic any smile on their face at very good jokes, jokes that make me laugh my ass off. They keep their face straight like they're at a funeral or something. What really concerns me is I can see more and more people like this. I know life is not fair, boring, sad and bla bla but they really need to cheer up. Among the reasons why I hate crowded places I have to mention this one. When I walk up the stairs I have a few options where to look at. One option is to look in the person's butt, another would be to look sideways but I can't really see where I'm walking, or I could look up but because I'm walking up the stairs it would be really hard to always walk with the head like that. Looking down is almost like looking in the butt of the person ahead. I also hate people that dance in front of me and can't decide which way to go. Tough days coming so I might not be posting too much.

hello blog

I didn't feel like blogging and I was very lazy because of the one week break. I also lost my 30 GB iPod... I realized that right when I was free, the last day of school before the break, when I got home. I hate and I don't understand the ironic smile of my teachers right after I ask them if they know anything about my iPod. I also didn't blog because I was very sick. I'll blog more these days because I'm much more active when I go to school (probably the only good thing about school) and I finished F.E.A.R. so I have much more time.

World's Brands

How many can you recognize?

Are you sure you're supposed to be a boy/girl?

I had this weird biology assignment about a girl who was supposed to be a boy. The doctors discovered that while trying to find out why can't she have babies. Because of some chromosomes she was born a girl instead of a boy how she was supposed to be and she looks like a regular girl but she can't have babies and she doesn't have pubian hair.

Valencrap's Day

Saint Valentine's Day is on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards, candy, or donations to charities, often anonymously. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day.

But wait! what's love?

Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness. Depending on context, love can have a wide variety of intended meanings. Romantic love is seen as a deep, ineffable feeling of intense and tender attraction shared in passionate or intimate attraction and intimate interpersonal and sexual relationships. Love can also be conceived of as Platonic love, religious love, familial love, and, more casually, great affection for anything considered strongly pleasurable, desirable, or preferred, including activities and foods.

Oh really? Now I see why people fall in "love" so easily. I'm always and probably I'll always be amazed how indifferent and ignorant can people be about things from which they don't benefit at all. I don't mean donations and stuff like that, I mean every day behavior, small things. People simply don't care about anything that doesn't affect their life in a good way or in a bad way. People you think they have a good heart because of good things they do, they probably do them because they think someone sees them. I was so angry one day because of this and I wrote these thoughts because I saw so many ignorant people in a short time. It's an ignorance and an selfishness which I often associate with wickedness. I'm sooo sick of it. Can people really love with that attitude? I highly doubt that. Love. It's a strong word, isn't it? It's because it changes things not because it's a strong feeling. If, somehow, it's a strong feeling, it's a feeling given by what? It's a feeling given by what people SEE. It's a feeling based on something that a real feeling like LOVE could never occur because it takes time to discover all the reasons why a person potentially loves another person. The "love" it's based on idiotic things like: "OMG she looks so hot!", "That guy right there is so strong and handsome!! What's his name again?" I find absolutely idiotic how smart people "fall in love" with persons they know for 5 minutes. People need to learn how to love, they learn to love after they have some unpleasant experiences by falling in love with people for retarded reasons followed by knowing the person better and knowing it doesn't match you at all, it only matches your imagination and your idealism, until you know who you're really talking to. I'm ashamed of my way of rapidly judging someone by their appearance. This it's not fair, but it's so human - to judge things and persons so easily, we were born with it. It's not their choice if they look ugly in my opinion but if they don't match my fashion tastes it's probably because I don't understand it and because I haven't lived in the same environment as they have. Valentine's Day is rubbish until you truly LOVE a person and that involves knowing that person and knowing why you love him or her. I don't think it's necessary to remind the other reasons for which people "love" and I'm not even going to talk about "lovers", the persons who seek persons of opposite sex 24/7 - one of the most retarded category of humans, destroyed and broken-hearted. I almost dropped a tear. Girls have expectations from their "prince" like in fairy tales. You can't even imagine what expensive things girls expect and how far their imagination goes. Boys don't really care, they don't have money and time for that, another good reason to hate "love" as a boy. Enough said, Valentine's Day is rubbish for most of the people and will remain the same as long as people love for no good reason and as long as it's commercialized like it's not every year.

Khufu

My English teacher to the class:

Go home and khufu your mother!

We were talking about the Great Pyramid of Khufu and we couldn't pronounce that word.

Yahoo Messenger inside Yahoo Mail

If you don't have this feature you'll have it soon, it's now being tested.

Groping in front of the computer screen

I can stare at the computer screen for hours and hours and hours... The accumulated hours are since March, last year.

My English assignment

Deciding upon your future is not an easy task. Too many options make life easy and hard at the same time. It's good when you have many options and you know exactly what's your choice but many options are bad when it's hard to make a decision. The best way of being successful in life is choosing what you like and what satisfies you. If you chose what you don't like you make your life harder because people do a quality job and are more productive when they do things they like. These factors should be taken into account when deciding things that change your future.

Firefox extensions

So, these are my favorite Firefox extensions.

All-in-One Gestures

Makes browsing much easier and faster. The only problem for me was when I accidentally closed or opened pages but I fixed that. I use more than one direction of moving the mouse. For example instead of UP for opening a new tab I now use UP followed by RIGHT.

Clicking buttons is overrated. This excellent hybrid of the old Mouse Gestures extension and a collection of tools for alternative navigation methods lets you perform almost every action in Firefox with a quick swipe.

Dictionary Tooltip

This is useful when you're not sure about a term, by clicking the little speaker icon it reads the word out loud.

When surfing the Web, sometimes you'll come across words you don't know the meaning of. Instead of reaching for a dictionary or heading to its online equivalent, use Dictionary Tooltip. With this extension you only need to double-click a word to bring up a window with pronunciations, definitions, and thesaurus entries.

GooglePreview

A really useful one, it shows little screen shots of the websites in google and yahoo next to each search result.

When you perform a regular Google search, your keyword turns up a list of links that fit your search, along with text snippets from each of the pages. But if you have the GooglePreview extension, Firefox will display a screenshot of each page in the list so you can see it before clicking the link.

MR Tech Local Install

Gives more functionality to Firefox.

For Firefox users who want to delve into the nitty-gritty of managing extensions, this add-on hacks the default extension and theme tools in Firefox to give you much more control. It also adds the invaluable "Restart Firefox" functionality.

Reveal

It's like alt+tab in Windows Vista.

Firefox Showcase is a strong competitor, but Reveal narrowly beat it out with its polished look and additional features. Simply hit F2 or Alt+~ to see thumbnail images for all open tabs for a window. Hitting the Insert key brings up thumbnails of the history for any tab or all of them, and the Back and Forward buttons also provide small thumbails of each link.

StumbleUpon

This one's my favorite, a great way of wasting time.

Most people tend to repeatedly visit the same Web sites, whether for news, sports, or shopping. StumbleUpon offers a new (and great!) way of browsing the Web by randomly picking high-rated sites from categories you select. If you like surprises, this extension delivers.

Tab Mix Plus

Great for tab customization and session saver. If you shut down the computer with Firefox open next time you open up Firefox it asks you: restore session or start new session.

There are a lot of Firefox extensions that customize tabs and a few good session savers, but none does both as well as this handy add-on. Edit everything possible about tab appearance and behavior, and also save Firefox sessions in case of a browser crash or unexpected shutdown.

"Invention"

A Romanian 'invented' a new way of using the emoticons in Yahoo Messenger. He copies and pastes on yahoo messenger the lyrics of a song and replaces the words that can be replaced by emoticons. He pastes the lyrics as the song plays to impress his girlfriend. Big deal. That's not an invention. He appeared on a online Romanian website for news and he was even contacted by a yahoo representative.

Romanian Student Invents Yahoo Messenger's Emoticoncert
7 Februarie 2007


Darius Groza, a Romanian student was congratulated by Yahoo! Inc bosses after inventing what he called Emoticoncert.

The Romanian’s invention consists in creating a video clip in which a song is played, based on a yahoo messenger window using Yahoo’s emoticons to depict the situations the song is about.

The Romanian student is 21 years old. He studies Journalisms and public relations at the Cluj University Babes-Bolyai".

'”Congratulations on your creation! It is truly original and very intelligent, said Francois Dufour, manager Yahoo! Messenger manager for the United States, in an email sent to Darius Groza.

''They told me they want to develop and integrate the concept in Yahoo Messenger , so that anyone can make an Emoticon on any kind of song, Groza said .

He added that he would like to collaborate with Yahoo and not sell his idea.

Emoticon is a brand created by Yahoo in the 90’s anii '90, using graphic signs to depict a certain emotion or state of mind.

Rainforest Cafe

I visited today the Rainforest Cafe and I thought it would nice to post some photos here. The restaurant is located inside a Nordstrom mall and they have pretty good food. Here we go:

Stumble Upon, school and the phone of the future

I'd like to talk about my favorite Firefox extensions but I'm sure I'll not have enough time. The reason? School. I HATE SCHOOL!!!!!!! Before I continue I want to add something:

It's okay to hate school:
There is nothing wrong with you.
If you hate school, parents and teachers might be quick to label you as 'troubled' or 'defiant' or diagnose you with a bunch of disorders. Nothing could be further from the truth.

There is nothing wrong with hating school, there is nothing wrong with hating being forced to go someplace you don't want to, and being "taught" things you're not interested in, in ways that would kill you if boredom were lethal.

You're not worthless if you don't get good grades, and you're not mentally ill if the mere thought of school scares you.

In fact, you're probably a lot more sane than someone who has a nervous breakdown if they don't get an A+.

They say school is for learning? Well, being bored is hardly any way to learn anything! No wonder hardly anyone remembers what they were forced to memorize at school. School isn't about learning, it's about training people to be obedient to those with authority over them.

Don't trust school to 'educate' you - only you can be trusted with that!

This psychologist has a message for kids who hate school:
I, as an adult and a psychologist, want to say to any children out there who hate school: you are not alone. Most people hate it too, but usually they don't feel entitled to say so, and many can't bear to think about it so they hardly even know how they feel. You are not mad – you don't have a Deep Psychological Problem (though you might develop one if you stay in school against your will!); and you are not bad for wanting to live your life the way you choose, doing what you think right – that is what everyone should be doing. You are not the problem: coercion is the problem. Being forced to go to school is the problem.

http://www.school-survival.net/

I hate all the workaholics I see everyday, they are so retarded that they love self-torture! A kid said these days: "It hurts so good!" They're insane! People who can't stop working are insane! and I see them everywhere! I HATE TO BE FORCED TO LEARN THINGS THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT AND WHICH I'LL NEVER NEED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! I HATE SCHOOL!!!!!

OK... now about the Firefox extension, Stumble Upon it's a really good extension because it helps you discover the internet like never before. First you choose what you want to know from various categories (unlike the school where you're forced to learn things you don't care about) and then you click the Stumble! button which is in the Stumble toolbar (installed in Firefox). It takes you to randomly selected websites from all the internet that fall into your categories. The toolbar also has two buttons "I like it" and "No more like this". You can spend hours and hours with all your favorite content on the internet. Stumble Video is pretty new and it's like the Stumble toolbar but it's a website and, obviously, displays video content. The videos are from Youtube and google video but you can't click them and go to their exact location but you can find them by their title and to make it even harder those from Stumble did something so that you can't even copy and paste the title, so you have to type it to find the video. Why this? Probably they want you to be loyal to their website. I'll write about my other favorite Firefox extensions next time because I need to do the homework. Did I mention how much I hate school? I HATE SCHOOL!!!!!!!

I found this interesting concept of the phone: Turn your fingers into a mobile phone! Maybe first users of this... phone will look pretty goofy but, who knows, maybe this is the future, right here, beyond touch screen.

The shutdown, restart, sleep etc. function in Vista

For all the idiots that still think Microsoft designed Vista with such a small button to get to all those functions just to get on your nerves I have to say something: Microsoft did that instead of the black & white screen from xp because they thought it's faster! In fact, it is! Clicks to shutdown computer in xp: 3. Clicks to shutdown computer in Vista: 2!! It IS small because they don't want you to shutdown the computer by accident! Got it?

She's sooo cute :) isn't she?

Underbed Video

For all the lazy people out there... Underbed Video. It's a TV that comes from right under the bed and it can be rotated as you wish.

For the record

The funniest things I've ever seen.

How much reality can you bare?

How much "reality" can a computer bring on your screen before you feel compunction for doing something really wrong and bad? For some of us maybe the answer is simple but for me and other people the answer will come only after the games will resemble reality in such a good way that we'll not be sure which is the game and which is the reality. I had the chance to download Test Drive Unlimited, the beta version, and to be among the first people experiencing this new "reality". I'm not gonna get to much into detail but I think it's a really good game but there will be more games in the future which will redefine high-end graphics every time taking us closer and closer to photorealism.

Computers and school

How could a normal person consider that I shouldn't receive credit on an assignment just because on the teacher's computer the website doesn't work like on the computer I created it? I mean... it's retarded. I told her to come and see that on the computer (at school) I made the website, it works but she said it doesn't matter, and that she believes me but she wouldn't give me the damn credit! I don't care why it doesn't work on her computer but I used the manage website option in Dreamweaver as she told us!!! If she does that one more time I'm gonna go talk to the counselor. Grrr... I hate school so much...

prizee.com

I finally received my joypads from prizee.com It took exactly 1 month from the day I ordered until I got them. I spent like 10 minutes a day for a few months until I earned enough points and I'm not sure it's worthy but, anyways, I'm glad they made it and I can enjoy games like Flatout 2 and I'm pretty sure now I can play racing games better than using the keyboard.

This is a picture I took some days ago, now the snow it's completely gone and everything is green.

Battlefield 2142

Can someone make this clear for me? Am I dead or I'm just wounded? Or maybe we all live in the matrix...

Battlefield 2142 it's a good game though. There 2 things that in my opinion make it suck a little. The first is that it doesn't have a single player campaign and the second is that it takes such a long time to reload weapons, if you're surrounded by enemies and you need to reload there are big chances you die.

No time for blogging :(

!@#$%^&*())_+ school!!

The video card story (part 2)

I now have the ATI Radeon X1900XT and everything works just fine. I also replaced the power supply with a Master Power, 500 watt. Here are some photos:

before:

ready to go, new video card and new power supply + cleaned

The video card story

So I bought this video card, GeForce 7900GS after a long time of brainstorming and problems didn't delay to occur. The system freezes sometimes after 5 minutes and sometimes after an half an hour. I returned the video card for refund and I ordered an Radeon X1900XT from newegg.com but there couldn't be a worse time to order it because they ship only during business days and I ordered it Friday afternoon. That wouldn't be a problem if, as I found lately, the system would provide enough power. So I need to buy a new power supplier for my PC. I found some yesterday on CompUSA at a good price + rebate. Now the $40 one + $40 rebate is $160 and it doesn't have any rebate. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I think I'll try if it works with the one I have now and at least nothing bad will happen, hopefully.

Developing story. Stay tunned.
