LifestreamIt’s a drag since I mainly rely on corporate tickets. The non-refundable kind. I realized I had two tickets that expired 31/1. So it’s “The Two Towers” all over again and “Gangs of New York”. Not exactly what I would normally have chosen and it annoys me since there are much more interesting movies coming […]

Finnish Music Industry Wants Kindergardens to Pay for Singing. Is it a prank? Not necessarily. The idea is stupid of course BUT I like the initiative. Why? Well, it pisses people off and undermines the credibility of the music industry. They are digging their own grave with stuff like this and I’ll be sure to […]
Did you know that in Sweden, student union ( “studentkår” ) membership is mandatory for all students? It’s pretty macabre when you think about it. If you don’t join da union (it’s like organized crime and Jimmy Hoffa’s teamsters practically) you lose all your financial aid, you can’t register any courses and you can’t do […]
Bertrand Russell once put the prospect of war in a civilized world as a witty moral dilemma (in the same spirit as the barber paradox). He also pointed out that “War does not determine who is right - only who is left”.
Yes, you guessed it. It’s an Iraq special report here at battleangel.org. But I […]
Working towards the ‘Six Million Dollar Man’
The reality of the first truly bionic human (cyborg) is closing fast. While the present generation of implants is crude, it’s amazing how many parts of the human anatomy that can actually be replaced with cybernetic equivalents. Sight, hearing and basic motor functions are not a problem if you […]

It’s scary to see the kind of incompetence that exists in the pc community.
Well, the reviews are popping up like mushrooms all over the net. The problem is that the card is too little too late and with a frightening cooling solution. And did I mention the price tag btw?
Here is a small crop of reviews if you really must see some benchmarks:
AnandTech, Tom’s Hardware, Extreme Tech, […]

Notice any improvements? No? Well, using a 33.6 modem I noticed that the gziped page loaded […]
A Field Guide to Battlefield 1942 (from the Plane Newb to the Color Guard and Mad Bomber). In essence what you SHOULDN’T do when playing BF1942.
If your are like me and just picked up the game more or less (due to a new TnL gfx card) then a proper strategy guide is in order. I […]
I dunked in ZoneAlarm Pro today and got rid of Proximitron (at least for the moment). I never realized that ZAP had the ability to filter out ads and pop-ups until now. Dang.
It’s not that Proximitron didn’t work, no, on the contrary it excelled. But I never really got the hang of all the settings […]
