Book: Little Brother

In today’s war on privacy - which includes warrant less spying on all americans by the telecommunication companies (not a criminal offence either thanks to the republicans in america and George Bush)

Then there’s also the ‘THINK OF THE CHILDREN’ spies whom have there own no privacy is best argument. Privacy is a concept that no government really respects and if you think the ‘c’ word means Bin ladin did did Mr Bush a big favour.

Im not going to argue that privacy is all good, and that state where necessary is all bad too but there is a point when the abuses of the State (i include China,Tony Blair,Gordon Brown, and the Bushes here) become a little unpalatable.

This text (free and available in many forms, and as a paid for book) is worth a read.

5/5 Bananas so come on - wake up everybody, George Washington would be ashamed of what is happening if he where alive today.

Youtube and your privacy advice.

Viacom an evil mafiaaa enterprise has a record of both mine (i search for monkey porn) and whatever your youtube video searches are for.

I do not like this as much as you so i will not be visiting youtube or embeding videos into this site from this point on.  I apologise to you all for the privacy misuse which i have caused.

Anybody know a better monkey video porn site ?  If an employee from Viacom can point me to one that be great.

Microsoft’s Extend Embrace and Extinguish in action.

Filed under: Economics, Microsoft, Patents, fud, usa — Tags: — bananasfk @ 12:05 am

235 is the number, according to the chair thrower at Microsoft, nobody knows what the 235 be but after failing with Sco-x, and then Hiring dubious ex sco employees who would not know a doughnut from a sex toy its time to see whats going on the Linux mystical 235 action plays that Steve Balmer is playing like Darl McBride did until he failed while spending Microsoft’s cash.

There are three names here Novell (and Ron the ceo of Novell who gets the sex), Xandros and Linspire who sold there Linux foss souls to fud*. Thing is that the last two have now become one.

This is classic Microsoft EEE in action. It also proves that if both Linspire and Xandros both signed the same deal with the devil and something like this happens what does it say about co-operating with Microsoft. ? ‘run for the hills’ ?

I’m quite sure Novell will soon fail like the two smaller players have, its just going to take a little longer.

* if you don’t pay money to microsoft they threaten to throw chairs at it’s competition.

Book: Selling out

Filed under: Books — bananasfk @ 12:05 am

In (book 1) I continued to book 2. I would suggest that book 1 is read before book 2 is started but in isbn: 978-1591025979 the pace is fun and some quite nice humour about where the missing screws from ikea end up.

Not quite sure the story works as well as book 1 but anyone who can make fantasy seem a little less like an academic text on how the the comma might have been used in the fifteenth century and inject some humour and sex means i say good luck to the author.

I rate it 2/5 Bananas.

review: The Merry Wives of Windsor at the globe.

Filed under: uk — bananasfk @ 12:05 am

Regulars to the zoo will note that the tribe goes every year to the Globe on London’s south bank where we pack a banana or too and watch William Shakespeare’s words come to life at £6 ($12 usd) and its a steal*.

Clever human - he was. We are getting close (monkeys with typewriters) to his work but lets give the human some credit for his work.

The performance is witty 5/5 Bananas.

* bananas are extra.

You Naughty man Adam Dicker (a godaddy employee)

Filed under: Domains & DNS, Schemes & Scames — Tags: , , , — bananasfk @ 2:26 pm

In this we discover it is not a a good idea to to annoy the writer of nmap. Adam Dicker is not only a Godaddy Employee, but “VP of Domain Name Aftermarket”

Think godaddy (a domain name registrar who bananas in the falklands has linked to Robert Soloway and other iffy causes) is your friend ? think again.

Let us hope Bob Parsons (the ceo) sacrifices this lamb and continues in his strange views on domain names.

I do not need a hero

Filed under: Television Shows, big brother, uk — bananasfk @ 12:05 am

Bananas in the Falklands has noted the boys with hair free legs has arrived but due to an overload of gay sporting events it means no chance to watch them - personally the tribe considers the the human zoo (that’s big brother) as a rather tired format.

Another thing to go was Heroes - series two and im affraid to say that i gave up on the r e a l l y s l o w story.  No dear writers of Heroes i do have an attention span of more than 2 minutes* - bloody humans really do annoy the superior apes that we are and you humans are not.

* we do watch Batttlestar Galactica

Charlie Jade

Filed under: Life in general, Television Shows, media rants — Tags: , , — bananasfk @ 12:05 am

Charlie Jade is s/f with a social exploration of the issues of apartheid and genetic screening ala ‘gattatica’.

There appear to be three ‘universes’ - and Charlie through his ‘work’ can interact with them. an Alpha, Beta and Gamma classification means that humans in one ‘metaverse’ can manipulate that space and can alter things in the other two.

Its floating about and looks quite interesting and is filmed in South Africa so is a little different and covers some issues

Worth a look

Warzone 2100 on Linux

Filed under: Linux Distros — Tags: — bananasfk @ 12:05 am

Is a game and quite fun, the tribe is stuck on the fifth main challenge (i have not the right guns) - see a screenshot. Game works best on Linux and the open source nature of the game is quite interesting

Its worth a play. 4/5 Bananas
