Just a collection of stuff (mostly from my old blog)
I thought I’d take a break from writing about Tech this week, to focus on where the worlds attention should be–Iraq and Syria, and the existential threat that is besieging the middle-east, a threat we’ve come to call The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). ISIS may have started of an off-shoot of Al-Qaeda, but they’ve evolved to be much more, they’re so far...
When you get behind the wheel of your car, and hit the road–you’re implicitly trusting ever other road user to play by the rules. You trust no one will go out of their way to crash into you, or that no one would swerve into you for an insurance claim, you even trust that pedestrians won’t hijack your car as you stop at the red light. Sometimes you mitigate these risk, by...
Last week one of my most popular videos detailing how I hacked Unifi accounts was ‘flagged’ as inappropriate in YouTube–apparently it was in violation of their community guidelines. As such my video was made unavailable and essentially deleted from Youtube. I was upset. The email I received from YouTube, gave no indication as to what I did wrong, and even though it states that...
A popular question I get, is how to boost a WiFi signal. Folks struggle to get good WiFi connections on the 2nd (or 3rd) floors of their homes because the routers they have don’t pump enough ‘juice’ to go around. This is particularly true for those that work from home, having poor WiFi while trying to have a teleconference– just sucks. While other applications like...
I remember this problem from watching an episode of numbers. You’re a contestant on a game show–and you’re given 3 doors to choose from. Behind one door is a shiny new sports car–behind the other 2 are goats. Your goal is to get the sportscar, by choosing a door. But after you choose a door the host reveals one of doors with the goats. Leaving you with you just two doors...
A Coalition of Muslim NGOs have asked for Cadbury to pay for the ‘cleansing’ of the blood of Muslims to remove any traces of Pig DNA they might have consumed from having eaten Cadbury chocolates. I’m not going to debate the religious and legal implications, just the scientific aspect. The aspect which says that the DNA of what you eat doesn’t enter your blood–and...
There’s a highway they want to build from Damansara to Puchong–called Kidex, and just like any other highway before, people are understandably worried about the construction. This excerpt from the KL-Chronicle details the causes of anxiety: [box icon=”chat”]Kidex will be constructed over heavily built-up residential areas in Petaling Jaya and will pass very close to...
Teachers day was last Friday, and I thought it would be good to make a small post in tribute to an interesting teacher I had in form 4. Imagine a 200 pound man, with a thick moustache, carrying intimidating rotan, and wore nothing but Chairman Mao style Bush-coats everyday–that’s Mr. Vijay, and he thought me Additional Mathematics. Mr. Vijay was interesting in many ways, including the...
We are all a single species, all of us share a common DNA, so common that if yours changed by a mere 2% you’d be a chimpanzee. We share one atmosphere, from which we breath the same air–not just with other humans alive today, but those of past times as well. In fact, every breath you take contains a slither of air from the breadth of everyone else–who has ever lived. I stand in...
Tun Dr M, our beloved former Prime Minister, openly supports Israel–well sort off. Today on his blog chedet.cc, he called on everyone to boycott Israel, stating quite clearly in his latest post that; I think the whole world in the interest of justice should boycott doing business with Israel. This is truly a pariah state which is immoral and beyond the pale of human laws. Now of course...
