Are teenagers so stupid these days?

I’ve seen trailer to Virginity Hitthe other day and must say that I’ve lost faith in humanity, again. Are teenagers really such stupid now that they’re willing to watch such stuff? For sure in High School I was watching, listening and reading a lot of bullshit, but there are limits. A movie about a guy who is about to loose his virginity, common. It’s supposed to be para-documentary, at least looks like it, but actors are so weak that one must be retarded to find it even partially true.

Bits more expensive than paper

I was checking a book I would like to buy on Amazon - How Risky Is It, Really?: Why Our Fears Don’t Always Match the Facts. As delivery from US takes long and is expensive I’ve wanted to check price for Kindle version. It’s easy as Amazon is providing you with such table: As you can see Kindle (electronic) edition is almost 3$ more than hardcover. Yes, let me say it again, hardcover.

Wanna freebies?

I’ve just read on Noise’s blog(PL) information that Paragon is offering some of their software for free! Head to their websiteand enjoy following apps (serial will be provided to you after filling short form): Partition Manager Free Edition Backup & Recovery Free Edition Rescue Kit Express(also for Mac - Rescue Kit for Mac® OS X) If they would give away their NTFS for Mac® OS X 8.0 for free as well, I would be in ecstasy, but still it’s a bunch of great programs.

Don't talk to strangers!

Today I’ve read about new bot, HoneyBot. It’s bot designed to use on IRC and Facebook chat. The way how it operates is both simple and clever. It enters the chat and starts chatting with two people (preferably with different sexes, it uses nickname analysis to distinguish it), then it passes text from one human to another, so there is no way that they would notice a bot, because they’re indeed talking with human being.

CC Everybody

Again thanks to TechcrunchI’ve learned about cool new Internet service - CC Everybody. It’s a blogging/forum service where you can start or reply to a post/thread by sending email to designated email address. You can even cc your personal @cceverybody.com address when you’re exchanging emails with your friends and entire conversation would appear on website. It’s quite cool, I’m thinking about using it to exchange funny pictures with my friends and family.

Stupid choices

From the article on TechCrunchI’ve learned about new book “The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World” by David Kirckpatrick. They’ve posted two excerpts there and in one of them you can read: “In the first week of his sophomore year at Harvard, Mark Zuckerbergcobbled together an internet software program he called Course Match. The idea was to help students pick classes based on who else was taking them.

Deep hide:)

Today I’ve read article on Polish security portal Niebezpiecznik.plabout a guy who was searching for information about his debtor and accidentally found a file with list of over 1000 debtors of PKO BP(Polish bank), more here(unfortunately only in Polish). First he was accused that he obtained this file illegally by breaking into bank’s network, but police found no evidence for that and file was indeed indexed by search engines. So after charges have been dropped bank’s spokesman informed general public that this file was, as he called it, “deep hide” and was indexed just after 4 years.

[Wiki] World is mad

I was reading some stories today (as every day) and on some picture I saw Gerardo Medinaas infant. From the title one can read that till the age of 10 he thought that girl (Lina Medina) next to him on this picture is his sister. But she was his mother, she gave him a birth when she was 5. Below is the picture I’ve found and you can learn more from article on Wikipedia.

Facebook reached my blog!

Today is the great moment in history of this blog. I’ve added Facebook's Like button (). Yes ladies and gentlemen from now on you can easily show which of my posts you like:P I must add that this button is here thanks to article of Mr. Ruhani Rabin. UPDATE: There is simpler way to have Like button on WordPress blog. You can use Simple Facebook Connectplug-in, I’ve added it and it works great, plus it has other functions not only Like button.

We're all !equal

Today I’ve found funny picture where present president of USA Barrack Obamasays (my own translation): “In the moment of such tragedy and such pain we all are Polish” Although I know what he meant, comment under the picture is still quite funny. Here is what it says: “We’re all Polish… but not all have visas” It’s old subject about Poland having big problem with US visas. I understand my nationals as US has no-visas traffic with smaller countries which sent a lot less army to help the US forces fight with terror.
