Sex?

Excerpts from here.

No sex drive? Is that a bad thing? I anxiously await the day when I can rest peacefully without feeling that one urge which makes us do sooooo many stupid things, like put up with someone's shit until you get what you want.

Reducing your risk of death?

It's possible. The longer you live, the more likely you'll survive till:

1. The Rapture
2. We find a way to stop/reverse aging
3. The aliens find a way to stop/reverse aging.
4. We find a way to travel back in time, duplicate our bodies, and implant our souls in the new body.
5. see #4, but change souls to neural pathways, quantuum states, and data.
6, see #4, but the aliens invent it, not us.
7. see #5, but the aliens invent it, not us
8. God decides death is now deprecated/obsolete.
9. The Grim Reaper takes himself out.
10. Entropy reverses or stops, possibly due to dark matter/anti-matter/quasi-matter/doesn't matter/the universe compressing instead of expanding/aliens/God/Cmdr Taco.
11. The bugs in the universe responsible for death and other bad things are fixed.
12. God ports the universe from Windows to Linux.
13. The Grim Reaper revokes the license for death because Andrew Tridgell reverse engineered it.

Best comment I ever hear.

A new word : 'morose'

It means 'sullenly melancholy; gloomy'.

e.g They're just morose if they stop to think about almost anything.

Gay rights?

At first it was a discussion about the reason why Microsoft abandons the gay rights bill. More or less. Some people will just want to flame Microsoft just because its Microsoft. However, the comments turn quite interesting when some religious person started to spout their bigotry statements. The rest of the sane people started to pick apart the myths and whatever things were spouted against the gay rights bill or the gays in general. Turns out that homosexuality is a norm in nature. There are gay communities among the penguins. Turns out that gays can love each other like the rest of the couple in this world. Turns out that marriage gives fundamental rights to couples that most of us takes for granted. Rights like tax break and stuff. Turns out that child rearing have nothing to do with sexuality thus there isn't a valid argument against gays adopting children. Turns out that gay isn't a disease that infect others. Turns out that homosexuality isn't a psychological problem. Turns out that the only reason why people are intolerent of gays is because it was based by a book which they claim are from God. Does this sound absurd to you? My former church All Saints Cathedral, being Anglican, a sect in Christianity, officially do not support gays. They are against homosexuality. I find it very ironic though. A place which preaches the love and mercy of God turns out to be intolerent of a sexual orientation which we have yet to understand.

Democracy?

Best quote I ever read about democracy.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch." - Benjamin Franklin.

Legacy? Dr. M? What is next?

I've always been critical of Dr. Mahathir. Maybe I got it from my dad. There are things that he did which could be categorize as great but there are things that he did which to me was lack of morality or the bigger picture. First was the timber fiasco and now its bribing people for US support. Is this a screw up? Why should the government pay so much for a support in the United States of America? Isn't Dr. Mahathir being a hypocrite for denouncing US for its foreign policy while trying to gain favours from the US? Is that being honest? I'm not sure what Dr. M is trying to do and if his action is right but I feel it is a mistake for a government to bribe policy makers. That's just plainly being dishonest and if a leader screws up, everyone who are depended on him screws up. Read here for more context.

NSTP's legacy? Sarcasm lost?

Read here, here, here, here and here for context. You can watch the video of the debate here. The newspaper have single out DAP Lim Kit Siang for leading the attacks of Zainul Arifin's column. However is that the true picture? IMHO, from what I saw from the video and read from the verbatim of the debate, DAP Lim Kit Siang was being sarcastic. Didn't any of the editors in NSTP realise that? I mean they are well experience in this kind of things right? Even a guy like me realise he was being sarcastic. So I beg to question, have the newspaper's journalist and editors shoot themselves in the leg by misleadingly reporting DAP Lim Kit Siang's statement?

Misleading Statements?

Excerpts from here:

Two people have died and 203 people have been hospitalized following a typhoid outbreak in Kelantan that has sparked a public health scare, reports said today.

State health director Ahmad Razin Ahmad Maher said the outbreak detected three weeks ago was becoming critical but was still under control. He said the department had taken immediate steps to control the disease including conducting large-scale operations at eateries and business premises.

Say what? The outbreak detected three weeks ago was becoming critical but was still under control? Isn't that a bit contradicting? How can something be under control yet becoming critical? I'm no doctor but you tell me what's that suppose to mean?

Subject Streamyx upload Speed
Well my streamyx has already been upgraded, but the only problem now is my upload speed which is just "128kbps". I am using aztech 600E, on router mode and I accessed it and checked the speed which showed me that. Here is the full details from the router page:

Link Status Connected
Us Rate (Kbps) 128
Ds Rate (Kbps) 1024
US Margin 31
DS Margin 27
Modulation MMODE
LOS Errors 0
DS Line Attenuation 41
US Line Attenuation 46
Path Mode Fast Path

I thought my upload was suppose to be 384kbps and not 128kbps. I don't have much time to go kedai telekom, or call up the help line. So hope you guys can just update it from there.

Wuhoo I am Ea Jook Beng, cool eh hahahaha only a computer can make such mistake. I guess telekom got fadup typing and replying custormer email complains and so on. So they ordered a auto reply software which will read out the mail and reply back with a format which included some words that is common used like "upload, download, speed problem" and so on from the email it read :P. Now this is real malaysian half gov company, too lazy to take care of their custormer and always got "alasan" or what ever shit.

God and Science

The existence of God is not proven in science. There is no evidence, inference or experiments that concludes the existence of a higher supreme being. As such, 'God does not exist' is a fact. I agree though the possibility of the existence of God should not be muted at all. Science is after all a self-correcting methodology.

The fate of #allsaints : REOPEN

Sometimes I have no idea what DALnet adminstration is doing. #allsaints have been reopen after the latest founder talked to them or something. Adriel, your former channel is damn eventful! *lol*

The fate of #allsaints : PURGED

Adriel's former #allsaints have just been purged by the DALnet adminstration. I got a sore butt being kicked. The latest founder have been caught mass inviting on the network. Even the nick was frozen. ;) I guess some people just want to abuse the AUP given by the IRC network. Its weird sometimes.
