I don't get it :D

Postcards for world peace!

As a follow-up to this post featuring predictions by leading scientists from the year 1900, here are my predictions for the year 2107... or around that time:

Large parts of the earth have grown unpopulated due to starvation and war. The borders around rich countries have been totally shut.

From Monument To Masses My favorite band currently. It's feels both like experimental art rock, but the song structures are both creative and catchy like a mix between Explosions In The Sky and Redneck Manifesto. More mp3s are at their website and epitonic. Mirah Reminds me a bit about …

Danish arty-farty movie company Zentropa has made a movie called AFR. It features Anders Fogh Rasmussen having a love affair with a fictional character. He discovers the wonders of being gay and giving away money to Africa. Then unfortunately he gets murdered under mysterious circumstances.

Watch the trailer

Anyways, this …

First off, I just got a replacement hard drive for the second time. A Hitachi Travelstar 1.8" (C4K20) compatible with the Karma is very hard to get, but Hitachi just started a new production, so if you need one, you should try to call Hitachi and ask, who's stocking them …

Greenpeace is a kind of b/w thing for many people. They either dig it or they don't. I just started working there. First task was to translate Green My Apple into Danish. That went down pretty well, I think. Now, this campaign probably triggers something quite common amongst the …

...yep, I flopped Quads on a very loosely called all-in.

I would like to have a better understanding of what just happened tonight. I hit 2 straight flushes in less than 2 hours. In that period I definitely saw less than 500 hands. Now, the odds of that happening are EXTREMELY low:

1 in 72,195 * 1 in 72,195 hands …

The word of God can often be confusing. And sometimes we forget that maybe the good book wasn't narrated by a genious, but rather put together by pure chance - that somehow a lot of old Jewish texts got mixed together and incidentally ended up being the non-questionable manifest of …

This animation contains so much symbolism, and the music is beautiful. I just don't get how it can be Russian-made from 1983 and emerge through the censorship back then?

Never call all-ins by players who have about as many or more chips than yourself in the beginning of the tournament. Even AA loses. Call all-ins by inferior players when you have AA, KK, QQ, JJ and AKs.

Never bet on a fire flush; Only call smaller bets and inferior …

I'm starting my blog again. I didn't blog for a long time, and I didn't have anything useful to publish, anyway. I used to blog about personal stuff on Xanga, but it became a pointless ramble and only taught me how important good conversation is.. in contrast to the introvert …

I may have just saved the Encarta Intant Answers® from the claws of evil:

(14:46:20) Ben Jao Ming: You are a Microsoft property (14:46:21) Encarta® Instant Answers: Isn't it good to be a Microsoft property? (14:46:30) Ben Jao Ming: No (14:46:31) Encarta® Instant Answers: OK, fine.

Notice how it has …

Booting is still at 50 sec. Same hardware as my previous test. This is a 0% change.

YaST is very much improved in terms of speed. All those scripts running prior to a system change are now faster. But after installing packages there are still a billion redundant scripts executing. …

Often I've wondered what'd be the best practice when connecting to MySQL with PHP. Many people use some function and possibly open and close their database connection multiple times. Well, I've used global variables and such to keep track of the connection, but often global variables do not behave well …
