Tenning

February 26th 2007 00:00
Tenning.com

I was directed here via a comment from my other blog. It is a Digg style site where people submit top ten lists, the lists themselves are hosted on the servers, there is no outbound linking. You sign up, create the list on there and submit it, it gets voted up if it’s good or down if it… sucks.

Naturally there are some crazy top ten lists around, such as ‘Top Ten burning questions that the internet has answered for me recently number three being the funniest ‘How many 12 year olds could I beat up before they'd overtake me?’.


Another list that caught my attention was ‘Top Ten Things I Don't Ever Want to be Stabbed With’ with number one being a squid. Why a squid you ask? Well I don’t want to spoil it for you.

Why Islam is a Backwards Religion

February 24th 2007 07:04
Yes it is, so backwards, it doesn’t allow people to think freely, it forces narrow-mindedness and intolerance and it definitely doesn’t produce people like me who go to university and write on blogs.

Lets face it, it’s all a tremendously huge conspiracy theory by evil Muslims, never in history have Muslims and non-Muslims, lived together in peace under Islamic rule, never in history has the structure of an Islamic government changed (for better or for worse) oh and most certainly never in history has a Muslim not wanted anything more than peace. They are all just evil hell bent on suicide bombings.


Islam is so strict on what one can learn, must learn and shouldn’t learn, for instance Muslims should not learn about the origins of the universe because it definitely was not even mentioned in the Quran. Muslims should not learn about such things as mathematics either, especially when what they learn could be so advanced that it wouldn’t be re-discovered until 520 years later in the 1970’s.

Of course Islam doesn’t simply restrict Muslims from learning about the world, it also restricts them from learning about the world from non-Muslims. Islam only preaches violence against non-Muslims and calls for Jihad against them, it definitely does not get you to align with them to fight a common cause.

An example of Islams inability to integrate with different societies and cultures can be perfectly seen in the example of Mosques from different countries. All Mosques have to have a dome on top and be made of expensive granite. After all, building a Mosque is the first step towards the Islamic dominance of any society.

It’s all a conspiracy, whatever they tell you it isn’t the truth, Islam is a backwards religion, everyone who disagrees has bought into liberal and Muslim lies, they have re-written history, Muslims can never get along with anyone since they always demand everyone change for them.

So if you really want to learn about Islam, go here and here and just for the heck of it, go here too.

Area 51, Secret Medical Facility?

February 21st 2007 13:29
Mad Scientist
Typical Mad Scientist
Way back in the hey-day of Soviet Russia and the cold war there was a facility hidden deep in Russian forests. This facility was a place where (mad) scientists were performing medical experiments, inane, cruel, heartless medical experiments on animals and possibly human beings.

The reason for this was simple, to see what could be done with organisms. The experiments culminated in a two headed dog and a complete head transplant of a monkey

Circumcision Cuts AIDS Risk, AIDS Vaccine Alternative?

Circumcised men have up to 60% less chance of contracting AIDS from an infected woman than their ‘longer’ counterparts.

Of course nothings good without what we call ‘studies’, so lets get to the dirty details. French and South African researchers took 3000 male subjects between 18 and 24 and randomly selected half to be circumcised

Wii, The Solution to Fat Kids

February 20th 2007 16:09
Kids swinging the Wii-Mote around burn 40% more calories than their lesser fortunate none-Wii owning friends who hold a regular controller, this extra 40% amounts to about an average of 1,830 calories a week.

I was a bit shocked, just 40% more? Kids need to play more physical Wii games such as Wario Ware: Smooth Moves

TV Worse Than We Knew

February 20th 2007 15:49
A study which was published in the science Journal ‘Biologist’ has found that cutting television time for children has to be a priority for health reasons.

melatonin
Melatonin, your biological clock, hear it tick?
Excessive TV viewing apparently reduces the production of a specific hormone called melatonin and as such children watching too much television can be adversely affected in many different ways. It can affect the sleeping cycle of children, the immunity system and even trigger the onset of (premature) puberty, all caused by a lack of the hormone

Social News Sites Are Boring and Repetitive

February 20th 2007 10:57
I don’t know if it’s just people who keep only voting up the same stories but Social News Sites such as Digg and Reddit are going around in circles with what they take to their respective front pages, and quite frankly they are getting boring at it.

When communities develop they change bit by bit, they eventually reach this level where they attract a certain kind of person and isolate others from it. This creates a massive community with a single ideological view on different matters with very minor differentiations from member to member

Regular Fellatio Reduces Risk of Breast Cancer Occurrences

February 17th 2007 14:35
No, this isn’t a joke, this is the real deal.

The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had performed fellatio and swallowed on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and 9,728 women who had not or did not swallow. The group of women who had performed and swallowed had a breast cancer rate of 1.9 percent and the group who had not had a breast cancer rate of 10.4 percent.

When it sounds exaggerated it probably is exaggerated. Never go to a conservative asking them to prove their sensationalistic ideas about global warming through science as you wouldn’t go to the Pope asking about Taoism.

If there is a group smearing another group don’t take the word of the attacking group, often times they lie with fabricated stories or even photographs. Go to the group that is being smeared and find out what validity (if any) the attacking group has

Why More People Know Global Warming Exists Than Ever Before

February 15th 2007 16:47
May I borrow a line from the conservative writer, Andrew Bolt? ‘They’ve already lost, they just don’t know it, like the Japanese soldiers still holding out on the Kokoda track as Japan surrenders’ (sic). Such is the way of the ignorant conservatives who forcefully bend science via politics and think it magically solves the issues of global warming.

It doesn’t, as of writing the only ‘credible’ scientists who are refuting global warming being caused by humans are being paid $10,000 by oil corps, the other bunch who are refuting it believe the apocalypse will happen before global warming drastically changes planet earth as we know it

Computer Warranty Blues

February 13th 2007 09:28
So I’m having this really big problem with a computer of mine, it’s a Medion MD8386, purchased from an Aldi grocery store (long story). Of course by big problem I mean to say the damn thing won’t turn on for more than ten minutes, why? The power supply unit is clearly very much busted.

How would that be? It goes back, all the way to the manufacturing of the fan that is supposed to keep the damn thing from over heating. It started making an extremely loud noise, like it was constantly impacting with something else while spinning. Thankfully it came with a two-year warranty. After calling the customer service people to organize a repair the technician stated that odds were it was to do with dust, that we were free to open the case and dust it

Hot or Not is a website where you go through a bunch of photographs and rate other peoples looks on a scale from one to ten. Perfect time waste of time for people who have yet to find the wonders of Miniclip.

Some clever dude decided to get the average of about thirty people for different ratings, for instance about thirty people who got scores from 1 through 3.4 where all merged and averaged out into a single face. By doing so you can get a good idea of what idea beauty is. Bare in mind in the process of creating the computer generated models the faces look cleaner and more attractive than they would in real life

How Easy a Mac is

February 8th 2007 10:10
So I read in the February issue of ‘Macworld’ of yet another one of those ‘from PC to Macintosh’ migrants. Jason Snell (editor) speaks of how his retired ex-executive uncle decided to move over to Mac claiming that the reason he wouldn’t move of past was because that Windows based software would not run on Mac’s and since the Mac’s switch to Intel CPU’s it has become more efficient to run Windows applications natively on OSX.

But why would his uncle move to Mac? Apparently because OSX is so much ‘easier’ to work with than Windows. The Mac Fanboys really, really, need to get their heads out of the sand if they really want to move on and properly challenge Microsoft’s dominance, there ‘once upon a time, happily ever after’ stories just doesn’t cut it, ignoring the facts does not make everything better

What N-Gage 2 Needs

February 7th 2007 07:47
N-Gage 2 prototype
N-Gage 2 Prototype?
The original N-Gage was (is) one of the biggest flops in gaming history, basically it demonstrated why it was foolish to try to push technology further than it can go for a certain time period.

So it is a little crazy reading about rumours of an N-Gage 2, complete with a proto-type photograph. Still, if lessons are learned (N-Gage name dumped) I think the N-Gage 2 could do heaps better than the first

PC VS Mac Spoof

February 4th 2007 21:53
Apple has been going the less than respectful route with its ‘I’m a PC, and I’m a Mac’ TV ads by misleading consumers considerably.

To that end lots of folk online have been putting their own parodies of these TV advertisements up, particularly on youtube

Aussies Have a Sense of Humor, Boston Based Americans... don't?

February 4th 2007 16:25
I know, I know, were ‘sitting ducks’ for a terrorist attack, we are all going to be bombed by anthrax lest we start putting innocent people in jail with no reason, the terrorists have already won because we do not want to legalize torture, and most importantly, we know what a joke is, that makes it the biggest problem.

While a simple marketing campaign in the US city of Boston turned into a fiasco that shut down the city for an entire day in Australia two fellers by the names of ‘Al Kayda’ and ‘Terra Wrist’ who bought boarding tickets were taken with a grain of salt

Mathematics at its Worst

February 4th 2007 14:34
As a computer science student I am forced to do lots of maths. One of the my Math lecturers stated outright ‘mathematicians are lazy’ when he demonstrated to us the ‘don’t care Karanugh map’, no I’m not kidding, it is called the ‘don’t care karanaugh map’, ‘don’t care’ also happens to be a form of logic in Discrete Mathematics.

But why? Because mathematics is about problem solving, not about making the problem more complicated than it is. Simplicity rocks, lets face it, humans inherently aspire to be simpletons, we like to get the job done quickly and cleanly

This is where your computer makes all those cracking noises and stores data, really cool look into it, even if it is just a spinning disk with a needle.

Misconceptions about Microsoft and Apple

February 4th 2007 13:32
There are many myths surrounding the Apple vs. Microsoft war, trying to put Microsoft down, myths such as Macintosh running OSX being more stable than PCs running Windows or Microsoft copying Apple. Surprising how misguided these attacks are, but I guess we all need someone to hate.

Here are some popular myths about Apple, Microsoft and the General PC VS Macintosh debates that I will go through logically and let you make up your own mind on where you stand

How My University Made it to the FrontPage on Digg.com for All the Wrong Reasons

February 2nd 2007 15:57
I go to Latrobe University and I have to say that I absolutely love it. It isn’t like most other universities, there’s green grass, water and vegetation and trees and birds that go tweet, tweet (or just Ducks that don’t quack), you know? Stuff like that, it’s pretty diverse too in terms of students, lots of Marxist students and… more Marxist students.

That’s ok though, in a way, because it encourages the democratic process, I was forced (rather politely) to vote for who gets what seat in the university student union, I just threw votes down left right front and centre, I have no idea who got what, I think I put a conservative right winger in charge of homosexual/bisexual affairs

Water Bottle Computer

February 2nd 2007 14:08
What would the advantage of sticking a little bit of technology onto a water bottle bring? Quite a bit in fact.

HydroCoach is the result of this little experiment, it has a computer embedded into the bottle which you manually input your weight, the duration and intensity of your exercise and it will as such measure how much water you are drinking and how much water you should drink to stay fit and healthy

Exit Strategy in Iraq

February 2nd 2007 13:38
I have to hand it to George Bush, he might have mildly screwed up in Iraq but he really, really knows how to make things turn out for the best. Damn, was I wrong about him, heres a feller who really knows how to solve mistakes he might have made, heck, not even made, he just knows how to make things turn out for the best.

Conservative or not, you gotta love the way this guy thinks
