An Indian techie flame war.

Sentient has the money and muscle power to FUCK you in your back side so hard that your generations to come will be born defunct just the way you are mentally sick & defunct.

This shows you are mad .because you always FUCK in back side. But if you want to learn How to fuck in front side contact me.

I am WARNING you if you send another email to any Sentient personnel I will do needful.

Achtung Panzerrrrrrrrrrrr! Roll that ‘r’ for Indonesian model Tiara Lestari! Probably not very safe for work. [via Indocoup]

From Drama: “This could be the perfect Mrs. Shaky! You have so much in common. She’s a blogger and enjoys topless photos just like you!”

I love the perverts in the comments. E.g. this post. Ask me anything in the comments. Serious, nice questions, then:

DO YOU SWALLOW?? DO YOU SWALLOW???

Outrageous!

Erm, if Indocoup has taken his pic down, you can see it here. Careful. Def. not safe for work! Do you reckon she has extra hardware installed? Or should that be software?

PIAT? For shooting Panzers!

some geeky things

BitTorrent conviction in Hong Kong, More here, via Simon.

Some early OSX 10.5 rumours. 10.4.3 soon.

Dual G5 tests:

Conclusion: one Dual Core processor doesn’t make for a large difference compared to two old G5 processors. We predict that the new Quad 2.5GHz Powermac will make for a performance increase of 70% or more.

iPod nano adverts in Japan.

Crazy gaming video, and another.

Google Base:

Is Google putting a layer in-between dynamic web sites and their databases, replacing MySQL/PostgreSQL/MS SQL, and creating a new GoogleSQL… possibly, with their ads in it?

Oh, I’ll find more, don’t you worry.

Here we go. Not geeky, but is it funny?

Asiaphiles need to be glassed.

no to the yam

Getting prepared for the MLCCC Christmas Dinner, so did a quick review of the lads, you know, who will be here and what did they fancy. I know what I don’t fancy. Candied yams.

So Gunther sent off a mail to Bulldog’s:

Is Bulldogs open on Christmas Day and are you taking bookings for large groups for Christmas lunch?

We have between 10 and 15 people interested. Would prefer the VIP room at back with the balcony.

Please send: Christmas Menu (British – no yams please)

Price: per person or total & what it includes?

Cheers

The reply:

We of course can make “non- yams” X’mas Lunch.
BTW, could you kindly let us know what’s your budget for food and drinks per person?

Cheers,

Obi Yingying Perry

My reply to Gunther: “Obi Yingying Perry? I wonder if that’s Old Yingying Perry?”
Gunther: “Could be, could be. I’ll wager she hasn’t heard the name Obi Yingying for many years. And she definitely doesn’t recognise those droids…. which is weird cos she should..”
Gunther: “Can you imagine what the banter will be like about Obi with 10 of us around a table after ales?”
Me: “You mean multiple arrrrrl?”
Gunter: “That’s the one. Just thinking. Internets were created in our life time. We will be the only generation that can remember what it was like before internet - the launch - then the aftermath. How better to celebrate securing our place in history than by doning a Bacardi witches hat and skulling an ale this saturday?”

I fyyyuking love him. But not in a rollerblading to a yoga class with a slice of quiche in one hand and a pink Walkman in the other kind of way.

I also love this joke:

What’s the hardest thing about rollerblading?
Having to tell your parents you’re gay.

starbucks challenge

Published on 26/10/2005 in hong kong. 4 Comments

UPDATE: The Starbucks in Exchange Sq., Hong Kong passed. They had the Fair Trade coffee.

I’ll be trying the Starbucks Challenge later.

Regardless of politics, most of us agree on one thing: If a company makes a promise, it should stick to it.

According to its own policy (PDF), Starbucks will make fair trade coffee for you, any day of the week, in the 23 countries it is licensed to including: Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, the U.K. and the U.S.

But just how easy is it to get a fair trade coffee in a Starbucks in one of those countries?

We aim to find out.

Join the challenge:

1) Simply visit your local Starbucks and ask: “Could I get a cup of fair trade coffee?”

2) Tell us what happened next.

My mate had a quick read:

“In fiscal 2003, when prices for commercial-grade Arabica coffee ranged from $0.55-$0.70 per pound, Starbucks paid an average of $1.20 per pound for all our coffee.”

Can anyone else see the conversation going like this:

“Crap we forgot to close out that long Arabica coffee future we had and got filled on 100,000 pounds at $1.20.”
“Bugger, give it to the marketing dept and see if they can spin it somehow.”

Soooooo cynical.

That amused me this morning.

An error message:

“Item 1 of more than 0″

OK then.

And in an email:

“We shall be grateful if you could have the needful done.”
