  • Browser wars

    Safari on Windows is pretty fast, much much faster than firefox. You really do feel the difference. It also takes just about a second to open, whereas firefox needs 3 to 6 seconds depending on your computer. The downside is, Safari on Windows crashes way to often. On my iBook I don't feel a difference between Safari and Firefox, I use Safari though because I just have 512 MB RAM on my iBook and Firefox would eat it up in no time.

  • Wikipedia

    Exactly, when I was in school I didn't even know of Wikipedia (I don't think it even existed back then ^^). I had to use Microsoft Encarta and the teachers used it too so you had to be very sneaky in rewriting the articles. You couldn't just go back in time on the article like with Wikipedia to use a not so polished article from the rollback history that then the teacher's would believe you had wrote:)

  • Transformers!!

    Transformers rock ^^ And they make a second Transformers movie. Michael Bay said that he wouldn't make a second one because Paramount got bribed with 150 million dollars that they exclusively support HD DVDs and not Blue ray but then Paramount bribed Michael Bay and now he's all cool with it:) ( I read that on Digg, I though it was hilarious ^^)

  • South Park

    Matt and Trey are cool, they even said it's cool with them if you download South Park off the internet with Bittorrent and the likes:) They said as long as you watch South Park, they aren't interested in where you got it ^^

  • Rails Hosting

    Like I said, if you use a pretty static website like a blog where everything is cached and doesn't have to be updated that often it is okay, although your admin interface will still be awfully slow:)

  • Learning Rails?

    I bought myself a pack of 10 subscription. I have nearly every one of the screencasts, I also bought the new PDF booklet, which is really great. It's basically a receipt book for Rails. It shows you things people often do the wrong way with Rails and then shows you how you should do it if you expect to have a website with thousands of visitors and needs to work under the load:) And it's much better than the pragmatic programmers Rails Recipes book, they just show you how you can do things but they don't even show you the best way to do something.

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows(spoiler)

    But in book 6 he started to get better ^^ Book six is where Hermione becomes really dumb and causes so much trouble for Harry. Harry is the only one of the trio in book six who thinks logical and does what has to be done.

  • Scrubs

    I saw Garden State when I still was a big Scrubs fan ^^ He not only directed and played in the movie, the movie also was some kind of biography of him he said. Not everything happened in his life that was shown in the movie, but there are quite a few parallels. He really did work as a waiter in a chinese restaurant for example, there are other parallels but that's the only one I can remember right now ^^ Zac Braff and the guy that plays Turk on the show, can't remember his name, also really do live together (or have been up until not very long ago) and have been doing that for years before Scrubs. Oh and Zac also chose the Music for Garden State and of many Scrubs episodes. I really liked the Garden State music, bought the Soundtrack ^^

  • Wii or Xbox360 or PS3 ?

    I haven't seen HD movies yet, but DVD already has an amazing quality and I don't know if I would really HAVE to have an even better quality when watching a movie.
