au Natural

So your argument against homosexuality is that it is not natural?

Well dear friend, technically, neither is wearing clothes.

Count++

Everyone hates spam right? I am guessing even the guy sitting in front of a computer in the basement of some shady building, making spambots all night long is sick of them. Most of us just delete the spam that we get everyday, never even thinking how much of it we actually get.

Last month, I tried an experiment. I did not delete a single spam mail and let the spam collect for the entire month so that I could get a count of the approximate number of spam mails I get in a month.

And the count is ~ 650 mails per month.
Approximately 22 per day.

The number of real emails I get on an average per month barely reaches two digits. Sigh.

The Pirate Ship sinks (aka, changes ownership)

ThePirateBay is being sold.   

Yes, you heard that right. The website from where you could get torrents for almost any media is being sold off. To some company which runs gaming cafes. Reassuring us, the crew of TPB said, 

If the new owners will screw around with the site, nobody will keep using it. That's the biggest insurance one can have that the site will be run in the way that we all want to.

The company that is taking over said :

 ...launch new business models that allow compensation to the content providers and copyright owners...

...would like to introduce models which entail that content providers and copyright owners get paid for content that is downloaded via the site...

...The Pirate Bay requires a new business model, which satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users, and the judiciary...

...Content creators and providers need to control their content and get paid for it. File sharers’ need faster downloads and better quality...

The only way I see in which the copyright owners can be paid are by charging the customers (us) or by advertisements. But how much money can ads make? Enough to satisfy all those copyright owners? Maybe (look at Google)…maybe not. Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.

And with Mininova going all legit and shit, where do we go forward from here?

PS : Read the comments at ThePirateBay blog…people don't seem to be very happy.

Napster came, Napster went, TPB came and seems like its leaving already...whos coming next? Or should I ask is anyone coming next?

Beavers and Butterflies

Yes, they do.

They also sometimes write absolutely amazing lyrics. Like these lines:

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
Calling Him in and out of nowhere
Said if You won't save me, please don't waste my time

The value of redoing things

Holy shit.

Just finished Bonehunters.

Damn. No other word for it. So many threads of intrigue, that they knot themselves into chaos by virtue of simply existing close to each other.

The last 200 pages have more action than all of the 11 Wheel of Time books together have. And I really have to re-read this book.


Its like Shawshank Redemption, you know. The first time you watch that movie, it will blow you away. The sheer awesomeness is just pure pwnage. But then the second time you watch it, it becomes better. Its like I can give you a hundred ways how it becomes better, but I wont bother. Watch it yourself and see. And once that's done, you'll understand what I feel about the Bonehunters.

Of Wands and Wangs

QDB is an amazing place to see all wacky jokes.
This one, is an amazing read. Slightly NSFW though. And Harry Potter fans, if you cant take a good joke, please stay away. Here is a edited version (content not changed, just made easier to read)

Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book Let's see the results...

"Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry.
"Oh, well -- I was at Hogwarts meself but I -- er -- got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an' everything

A magic wang... this was what Harry had been really looking forward to.

"Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work."
"Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. "

Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls

"Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!"

The troll couldn't feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry's wang had still been in his hand when he'd jumped - it had gone straight up one of the troll's nostrils.

He bent down and pulled his wang out of the troll's nose. It was covered in what looked like lumpy gray glue.

He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them.

Ok I have found, definitive proof that J.K Rowling is a dirty DIRTY woman, making a fool of us all
"Yes," Harry said, gripping his wang very tightly, and moving into the middle of the deserted classroom. He tried to keep his mind on flying, but something else kept intruding.... Any second now, he might hear his mother again... but he shouldn't think that, or he would hear her again, and he didn't want to... or did he?

Something silver-white, something enormous, erupted from the end of his wang

Then, with a sigh, he raised his wang and prodded the silvery substance with its tip.

'Get - off - me!' Harry gasped. For a few seconds they struggled, Harry pulling at his uncles sausage-like fingers with his left hand, his right maintaining a firm grip on his raised wang.
