1337 h4X0r

so i go away to camp for a few days, and i return to discover that my start menu has had its clutter increased by a entrant. Dark signs, it says. So of course, in the spirit of adventurous enquiry, i run the program, thinking it's some funky screensaver or something that my sis keeps seeming to fall for.

And it turns out to be a console. huh? another one of my sister's text based games. argh. oh well. looks funky enough with all its coloured ANSI. so then.

>help
available commands:
- addchar;bgcolor; cap; cd; clear; cldo; color; commands; connect; copy; crack;
- cut; date; drack; decrypt; delete; edit, etc.etc.

woah, my sis has a game which pretends to be an OS. And includes its own programming language too, including a tutorial on how to program an ip scanning thingie.

And what does she do with it?

she programmes a command which will show the date and time and change colours and things when you type in 'bored'.

I love my sis.

Premptive leave of absence

This space for rent. Excellent location within 2 clicks away of an MRT. Spacious flooble and haloscan comments boxes.

Owner will be away from the 8th to the 21st, please don't call me, unless you wanna pay IDD charges....In the meantime please amuse yourself by spamming my boxes, safe in the knowledge that if you spam enough, i won't be able to read whatever it was you wrote on my flooble.

Oh, and if i catch SARS or the plane crashes or something, it was nice knowing you. Well, most of you anyway. =)

Which irrational number are you?

must i say something before blogger will publish it?

What Irrational Number Are You?
You are π

Of all the irrational numbers, you are the most famous. You have many friends and fans. Like many people, non-Euclidean geometry makes you feel uncomfortable. You are involved in so many things that it seems like it would take two of you to make ends meet.

You are particularly close to the rational number 22/7. However, you and e have been called "remarkable."

Your lucky number is approximately 3.14159265

Legality

SO why's it that in the US, you can watch RA shows before you can drink, but vice versa over here?

It seems Singapore is more concerned that RA shows corrupt the sensitive asian values, and the US probably thinks that seeing something isn't as evil as getting drunk, and then possibly going out to do evil things. (like, say, looting!)

It's like that economic moral analysis.... that activities which produce more negative effects for society as a whole should be restricted more than activities which are less harmful to the public. Which means that drugs should be more legal than alcohol, coz people shot up with cocaine just sit in a corner lolling and getting high while being very low are less dangerous than drunken people who proceed to get into street brawls and drive over kittens and stuff.

What does the difference in laws mean, after all? That the US doesn't think their 16 yr olds can control themselves well enough to not drink to excess, while they can be trusted not to get their morals (further) corrupted by seeing wanton killings and other wanton things? hmm.

oh and what gogo uses in kill bill? it's a kusari-gama sans the kama, damnit, not a ball and chain.
