These Quantum Fireball harddrives was the bomb back in the day, this is what it looks like when one crash: Unfortunally I dont have any more of these laying around, and if I did, I would probably replace them after seeing this 🙂

It would seem that another HP NC8430 is about to bite the dust. It has been running its fan constantly for the last couple of months, and using coretemp.exe i can see that both cores are extremely hot all the time (75+ degrees Celcius). Again, HP disappoints, I need to pay to have onsite service, and not just a small fee, but about 250 Euros. If they really wanted a true “Personal” appearance, they should either make better products, or charge a minimum fee to fix them.

“and do you really believe 10,000 outraged letters to a congressman outweigh $10,000 in unmarked bills? government is one of the few real bargains left” Seen on BoingBoing.net regarding the ComCast hearing (FCC)

So Larry Lessig has decided not to run for congress. The decision comes mainly because of time and fear it might damage the entire “Change Congress” campaign. I can understand that position. I would very much like to see a game plan on how this campaign will gain momentum. And I would really like to help out, but seeing as im not an American, theres apparently not much I can do to help 🙁

I have given some thought about Larry Lessig’s possible candidacy for congress. I have come to the conclussion that I would agree with it, for the following reasons: Exposure. Rally the right people. For starters, I believe that by running for congress, Lessig will create some exposure about the corruption in American politics. Everybody knows its there, but nobody is willing to change it. Lessig is out to change it, and for that very reason, all exposure is good exposure.

Just noticed that Lessig is considering running for congress this year. I am not quite sure how I feel about this yet. I have great admiration for all his work so far, but i guess i just have a bad feeling about all politicians in the beginning. Will Lessig be able to change anything from within congress, and does it really matter if he makes it or not, as long as he makes enough noise about the issues, in doing so?

Okay, so this sunday evening, my folks and the like of my girlfriend aren meeting for the first time, and a heavy debate is under way, concerning what to serve them. What do you serve on such an occasion, and how do people with limited dining room make something nifty anyways?

Anyone ever thought about how the destruction of property is getting worse and worse? This weekend, alot of lamp posts got thrashed close to where I live. A few weeks back somebody actually stole a car and ran into the exact same lamp posts, busting them completely. And the recent burnings around Denmark because of the prophet thing. It just keeps getting worse and worse, and more and more accepted. Its pissing me off.

Dont know if you heard, but at this very moment Denmark is experiencing alot of riots in the streets of major cities. Once again, pictures of the prophet Muhammed, are being displayed on major newspapers. This time not as a simple journalistic interest, but because members of the Islamic community has put forth deaththreats on the person is behind them. Police have judged the threats as to be very real. As a support, and to get this public knowledge, major Danish newspapers have all re-printed the pictures.

How do you explain how Bittorrent works to people who have never heard of Bittorrent before? I actually find it quite hard to explain the fundamentals of it.
