  • The world in 100 years

    April 22nd, 2007 - Benjamin Balder Bach

    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.

  • Making Rio Karma work on Ubuntu Dapper

    March 21st, 2007 - Benjamin Balder Bach

    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 …

  • Avoiding prejudice

    February 27th, 2007 - Benjamin Balder Bach

    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 …

    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:

  • Sceptic's Annotated Bible

    December 27th, 2006 - Benjamin Balder Bach

    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 …

    December 25th, 2006 - Benjamin Balder Bach

    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?

    December 24th, 2006 - Benjamin Balder Bach

    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 …

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

  • Re-using your database connection in PHP

    April 16th, 2006 - Benjamin Balder Bach

    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 …
