So Ive hit a snag in my learning process. There is a question on one of the chapter tests, that I simply cannot work out. I know the answer, but I simply cant figure out how to that answer. It is really pissing me off.

In recent months ive re-experienced what its like to have a bad teacher. Im currently taking a CCNA certification, and anyone who has taken one, know there is ALOT of material to go through. To have a good teacher help you with questions and problems would be a huge help.

But it was a close one: “The vote was close, with 314 MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) voting in favor of an amendment to scrap what many consider draconian and disproportionate measures to protect copyright over the internet, and 297 voting against the amendment.

Another attack. I suffer from depression along with anxiety/panic attacks. When I was 21, I all of a sudden felt like I couldnt breathe, and everything around me seemed to blur and sound funny. I was at work, and was forced to leave work and drive to my parents house, since I knew that, at the time being nobody was home.

Okay, so Im fed up. I dont like Idols. I dont like Can you dance. I dont like The stage is yours. I dont like complete ripoffs, and basically reruns of the same old, same old. It is simply not something you can call a classic, and keep watching over and over again.

Filesharing, as I define it, is a way for people to share files with one and another. Filesharing programs, are programs that enable people to do so. The programming instructions which perform the transfer of bits from one computer to another is a technology.

What do you think?

A fellow by the name of Daniel K has been supplying Windows Vista users with a usable Audio Driver on his own accord. He has been doing this work because Creative has been unable to support this platform which, apparently, quite alot of people are using.

This is what the white house looked like during Earth Hour: Earth Hour – An hour where alot of citizens around the world turned of their lights to save electricity, and thereby showing their concern for the environment. I participated, did you?

There was no Internet connection at my second hotel, that actually worked. I really do think its a necessity to have a good and reliable Internet connection for your visitors. Watching TV and reading books used to be what you could do in a hotel-room, now however, the Internet is the main source of information for many people, so why not give your hotel an edge and use it as a selling point?

I am sitting in a hotel room once again, and I am going to be sitting in one until thursday. How do you feel about hotel rooms, and what do you do in one of them? I normally spend most of my awaken time by my laptop, which it is critical for me to have an internet connection.

Arthur C. Clarke passed away today at his retreat in Sri Lanka. Besides fighting the nazi’s by helping develop radar facilities, he is also behind many of the conceptual ideas behind space travel and sci-fi in general. He was always very philosophical about mans role in the universe, advocating space splunking whenever possible, and was of the belief that we would reach Mars by 2000.

I just learned that a local handball team (HF-Mors), apart from being sponsored by various sponsors the normal way, by having their expenses and training gear taken care of, also got their mortgage/rent paid. I think this is crossing the line for a small time handball team.

A 16 year old kid was recently beaten to death for no apparent reason. Senseless violence an indication of a worse society? I think so. I have no more to say about this than whats already been said. We should all be ashamed.

A plane from Copenhagen to Amsterdam, was cancelled yesterday, because of fear of terror. A group of middle eastern men (all of whom are airline pilots in an Iraqi airline), was the cause of the fear to a Dutch man. One of the middle eastern men, had to use the restrooms, and, like me, you and everybody else, left his luggage (carry-on-bag) with his friends.

America’s war on tourism: airlines to foot the bill for fingerprinting foreigners as the leave the US Scotland Yard wants DNA samples from 5-year-olds in case they grow up to be criminals; Oyster card records to become part of “war on terror”

Please dont try this at home, but if you do, id like to see the outcome:

Been doing alot this week. Mainly been studying some more. Couple of important chapters, I need to get down really well. How do you get hard information into your brain, and get it to stay there, and understand it for good?

Take a look at this little picture helping you, fight the biggest problem facing humanity – global warming:

Please sign this petition if you are against the European copyright term being extended. It is bad enough as it is, so please take action. And also, please remember to support EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation), with donations, advocating and educating people about the importance of online freedom.

A link on Digg pointed towards a YouTube video explaining Net neutrality. This is an important subject, not just in the US, but everywhere. The Telco’s might own the pipes, but they shouldnt get to decide what gets to flow through them.

Reading Marc Andreessen’s blog I came across his endorsement of Barack Obama. He writes of a meeting in early 2007, which basically shapes his opinion about Barack Obama. Without meeting the man, this is the impression I have as well.

Watched a short video clip on Digg today, about a guy who knew he only had a few months to live, and yet he choose to make the most of it. This should really be a lesson to alot of us, to enjoy life!

So simply, and yet so effective.

Yesterday I went into a Humac apple store in Aalborg (Denmark… Its in Europe… Across the water.. anyways), to see the new Apple Macbook Air. Oh dear, thats a sweet little laptop. It really is as thin as you hoped it would be.

How will peace ever be established between the large parts of the muslim world and the west, when young kids are being taught to kill for depicting a god in a way you dont like? Well, thats exactly what a children show stipulated a few days ago, regarding the now infamous Muhammed drawings.

This is a pretty cool billboard hack. I like it alot. “Evil Death Star” anyone?

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).

“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”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
