let me tell you why i hate optus
1. i signed up for their internet. took forever to set up. and the promised modem never showed up.
2. they upgraded my internet without even informing me.
3. because they didnt inform me, i wasted like at least 5 hrs trying to get it fixed. and was very handicapped for a few days.
4. the retards working there dont even know that my internet connection is changed.
5. the so called technicians, they cant do shit. all they ever tell u to do is really simple stuff that i already know how to do. and they t-a-k-e f-o-r-e-v-e-r t-o t-e-l-l y-o-u w-h-a-t t-o d-o.
e.g.
technician: now go to your desktop (like yeah duh?)
...
technician: are you there yet?
me: yes (like its freaking there u idiot)
technician: ok...now go to "run"
me: mmm...
technician: are you there yet?
me: yes
technician: now type c for charlie.
*i type*
*10 seconds pause*
me: ....
*another 10 seconds pause*
technician: have you done it? (like OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!?! im not an idiot!!!)
me: yesssss
technician: now type m for mary
me: yup (knowing that the retard is gonna wait till i say something b4 he/she continues)
technician: and now type d for donkey (yes u r a freaking donkey)
me: uh huh
technician: now press enter
me: uh huh
technician: you should now see a black box
me: uh huh
technician: now....type....
and he goes on forever. no wonder im always on the phone with them for at least freaking 1 hr.
6. after that 1 hr (or more) THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT SOLVED
7. when they upgraded my internet i was supposed to get 2 complementary filters. it was suppose to come b4 they upgraded it. its been almost a month already since it was upgraded. still no sign of it coming.
8. i have to wait for 3 days before they actually tell me that my connection has been upgraded. thank you you lazy pigs.
9. the day my internet connection is activated. supposedly. but i need to freaking call them up to get it working. AT LEAST they worked it out.
10. they freaking disconnect my internet like 2 weeks in. call them up and ONCE AGAIN problem not solved after an hour on the phone. and the lady (i'll be nice and not call her a biatch) said she'll call me back on my hp because she wanted me to try something which required me unplugging my house phone line. i waited for more than 1/2 hr. never got the call. when i tried to call back, i had to wait for the technicians to be available. no way im waiting for u idiots.
11. they sent me a bill. i paid it. the very next day, they direct debit from my account.
now im looking for a phone that is capable of recording conversations so that i will have a copy of me unleashing my fury on the poor martherfarker that is going to attend to my call. you poor soul. serves you right for working for that shit company.

life saving condom
not only does condoms helps in not getting a girl pregnant, it can also save your sorry ass for being abandoned on some random island
so this is what you got to do.
1. take off ur pants (better be long pants)
2. blow those condoms up (as shown) and tie it properly. you dont want it to leaking. if you still havent noticed, u need a few of them.
3. stuff those blown up condoms in your pants. almost there...
4. now put it around your neck and tie it up.
5. there you go! your very own condom saving...uhm....whatever you want to call it. the point is that you wont be drowning :D

In and out the elevator
I realised how Malaysia-internet-user-unfriendly we are with all these videos and shit. Therefore i shall rant!
Ever tried getting out of and elevator and theres like somebody there to "greet" you by forcing his/her way in? And that person doesn't even say sorry for being in your way and instead reckons that you should have got out of his way because he wants to go in? What the hell?!?!?!?!?!
I've been living in apartments for....a really long time now....and I see this shit almost every other day. Well unless I stay home for the whole week or I go out at very weird hours of the day. But anyway thats not the point. FREAKING LET SOMEONE OUT OF THE ELEVATOR BEFORE U FREAKING TRY TO GET IN!!!! ITS NOT LIKE WAITING A FEW SECONDS GONNA CAUSE YOU TO MISS ANYTHING!!! WHAT? YOU WANNA RUSH HOME TO WATCH YOUR FREAKING PORN?!?!?!?!?! THAT CAN WAIT DUDE....ITS JUST A FEW MORE SECONDS DELAY DARN IT!
Oh this applies to public transport as well. Yup. Retards all over the place.

Firefox tips!
Recently i switched to firefox completely, cause IE was being a bitch. So to share some cool stuff in firefox
First off, download firefox for windows
or download firefox for mac
or download firefox for linux
Themes
I'll start with theme for firefox especially if you were IE7 user and want to switch.
There are 2 themes you would like to try
Keyword feature
The other thing about Firefox is the keyword feature which enables you to quickly search from a search engine with just the keyword.
Lets do a Google.com example
To do this go to Google.com. Put your mouse over the text box for the search. Right click and click add keyword for this search.. Enter Google for the name and maybe enter g as the keyword. Done!
now you can go to the address bar and type "g candy bar" and it will search Google for candy bar.
You can speed up firefox (theoretically)
To do this type "about:config" in the address bar. A list of settings will appear. in the search bar type "pipe" . There will be 3 settings there
- Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
- Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
- Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
you can also right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
Limit RAM usage
If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram.
Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized. This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it, taking up much less memory. And there is no noticeable difference in speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s definitely worth a go. Again, go to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean. Name it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to TRUE. You have to restart Firefox for these settings to take effect.

PES2008 vs FIFA08 for PC
Please do not buy FIFA08 for current-gen console + PC .... it sucks. they used the same bloody engine for 3 versions of FIFA and don't bother changing it. FIFA08 is basically just a patched version of FIFA07 so if you have one stick with it. You will be able to get unofficial updates for the updated squad for 2007-08 season from various web sites. They went to next-gen console and left us PC gamers play with a piece of shit software. The worst thing is that FIFA08 is worst than FIFA07 the game play is laggy, the menus are sluggish and loading takes forever. They screwed up the controls, the previous controls were just right for the PC but they had to go and fucked it up just because they don't want to change a small bit of code that was meant for the PS2.And don't buy FIFA08 cause of the be-a-pro mode cause it is ultimately boring. This goes for all the current-gen console such as the PS2. I haven't tried the FIFA08 on the PS3 so i have nothing to say about it
I was amazed by PES(pro evolution soccer)2008 - sort of winning eleven 11. Anyway they are not releasing it as winning eleven anymore apparently. I just downloaded the demo for PES 2008 (1.1GB download) and its great. The graphics was such a step up from the last version. The interface is speedy and loading is quick. I am a PES fan now!!!
Hope nobody buys FIFA08 at least for PC and PS2. screw you EA Sports.. all PC FIFA players please move to PES08 or stick with FIFA07.. don't let them steal your hard earned cash!!!
WINNER BY A LONG STRETCH PES 2008!!!

Girl Bites Off Boyfriends Lip When Kissing
24 year-old Wei has a very loving girlfriend… Maybe too loving.
When Wei went to see his girlfriend recently they began to kiss. She apparently got so excited that she accidentally bit off Wei’s lower lip. Bit off to the extent that the bottom lip was actually still hanging in her mouth.
Wei was rushed to a hospital in the Chongqin area of China, but the tissue from his mouth was already dead. The doctor was forced to use tissue from other parts of his body to fix his lower lip.
As strange as this story is, it is not the first time Wei’s girlfriend has taken to biting him. It seems whenever she gets excited, biting and hurting Wei is the only way she can be satisfied.
“My girlfriend’s zodiac sign must be a dog”, Wei jokes… while the doctor seems to suggest it might be something psychological with the girl.

Text jokes!
Yeah.. i know some of you now are sick of the videos we keep posting.. videos videos and more videos.. so now for some good'ol text jokes.
Bullshit
A young man walked into the local welfare office, marched straight up to the counter and said, "Hi, I hate drawing welfare. I would really rather find a job. The man behind the counter replied, "Your timing is amazing. We've just got a listing from a very wealthy man who wants a chauffeur/bodyguard for his nympho daughter. You'll have to drive around in a big black Mercedes, but the suits, shirts, and ties are provided. Because of the long hours of this job, meals will also be provided. You will also be required to escort the young lady on her overseas holidays. The salary package is $200,000 a year.". The young man said, "You're bullshitting me, man!" The man behind the counter said, "Well, you started it!"
McGregor
THE SETTING: A Scottish old timer in Scotland, in a bar, talking to a young man.
Old Man: "Lad, look out there to the field. Do ya see that fence? Look how well it's built. I built that fence stone by stone with me own two hands. Piled it for months. But do they call me McGregor-the-Fence-Builder? Nooo.."
Then the old man gestured at the bar. "Look here at the bar. Do ya see how smooth and just it is? I planed that surface down by me own achin' back. I carved that wood with me own hard labour, for eight days. But do they call me McGregor-the-Bar-builder? Nooo..."
Then the old man points out the window. "Eh, Laddy, look out to sea. Do ya see that pier that sretches out as far as the eye can see? I built that pier with the sweat off me back. I nailed it board by board. But do they call me McGregor-the-Pier-Builder? Nooo..."
Then the old man looks around nervously, trying to make sure no one is paying attention.
"But ya fuck one goat . . . "
One liners
Q: What similarities are there in a condom and a casket?
A: You come in one and leave in the other, and they both hold stiffs.
Q: How many men does it take to mop the floor?
A: None, it's a women's job
40 more years to live
This 60 year old woman was walking along 5th Avenue when she heard a voice from above "You will live to be 100." She looked around and didn't see anyone. Again she heard "You will live to be 100." Boy, she thought to herself, that was the voice of God. I've got 40 more years to live! So off she went to the plastic surgeon. She got everything fixed from head to toe. When she left the plastic surgeon's office, she got hit by a bus,died, and went up to heaven. She said to God "You told me I would live to be 100. I was supposed to have had 40 more years. So how come you let the bus kill me?". God said: "I didn't recognize you".

Tech Jokes
Bill Gates And God
Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Bill Gates all died in a plane crash and went to meet their maker. The supreme deity turned to Al and asked, tell what is important about yourself.
Al responded that he felt that the earth was the ultimate importance and that protecting the earth's ecological system was most important.
God looked to Al and said, " I like the way you think, come and sit at my left hand". God then asked Bill Clinton what he revered most.
Bill Clinton responded that he felt people and their personal choices were most important.
God responded, " I like the way you think, come and sit at my right hand". God then turned to Bill Gates, who was staring at him indignantly.
God asked "What is your problem Bill Gates?"
Bill responded " I think you are sitting in my chair".
Hardware vs. Software
Once upon a time, in an absolute monarchy not far from here, a king summoned two of his advisors for a test. He showed them both a shiny metal box with two slots in the top, a control knob, and a lever. "What do you think this is?"
One advisor, an electrical engineer, answered first. "It is a toaster."
The king asked, "How would you design an embedded computer for it?"
The engineer replied, "Using a four-bit microcontroller, I would write a simple program that reads the darkness knob and quantizes its position to one of 16 shades of darkness, from snow white to coal black. The program would use that darkness level as the index to a 16-element table of initial timer values. Then it would turn on the heating elements and start the timer with the initial value selected from the table. At the end of the time delay, it would turn off the heat and pop up the toast. Wait 'til next week, and I'll show you a working prototype."
The second advisor, a computer scientist, immediately recognized the danger of such short-sighted thinking. He said, "Toasters don't just turn bread into toast, they are also used to warm frozen waffles. What you see before you is really a breakfast food cooker. As the subjects of your kingdom become more sophisticated, they will demand more capabilities. They will need a breakfast food cooker that can also cook sausage, fry bacon, and make scrambled eggs. A toaster that only makes toast will soon be obsolete. If we don't look to the future, we will have to completely redesign the toaster in just a few years.
"With this in mind, we can formulate a more intelligent solution to the problem. First, create a class of breakfast foods. Specialize this class into subclasses: grains, pork, and poultry. The specialization process should be repeated with grains divided into toast, muffins, pancakes, and waffles; pork divided into sausage, links, and bacon; and poultry divided into scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, fried eggs, and various omelet classes.
"The ham-and-cheese omelet class is worth special attention because it must inherit characteristics from the pork, dairy, and poultry classes. Thus, we see that the problem cannot be properly solved without multiple inheritance. At run time, the program must create the proper object and send a message to the object that says, 'Cook yourself.' The semantics of this message depend, of course, on the kind of object, so they have a different meaning to a piece of toast than to scrambled eggs.
"Reviewing the process so far, we see that the analysis phase has revealed that the primary requirement is to cook any kind of breakfast food. In the design phase, we have discovered some derived requirements. Specifically, we need an object-oriented language with multiple inheritance. Of course, users don't want the eggs to get cold while the bacon is frying, so concurrent processing is required, too.
"We must not forget the user interface. The lever that lowers the food lacks versatility, and the darkness knob is confusing. Would-be diners won't buy the product unless it has a user-friendly, graphical interface. When the breakfast cooker is plugged in, users should see a cowboy boot on the screen. Users click on it, and the message 'Booting UNIX v.8.3' appears on the screen. (UNIX 8.3 should be out by the time the product gets to the market.) Users can pull down a menu and click on the foods they want to cook.
"Having made the wise decision of specifying the software first in the design phase, all that remains is to pick an adequate hardware platform for the implementation phase. An Intel 80586 with 16MB of memory, a 1.2GB hard disk, and a SuperVGA monitor should be sufficient. If you select a multitasking, object oriented language that supports multiple inheritance and has a built-in GUI, writing the program will be a snap. (Imagine the difficulty we would have had if we had foolishly allowed a hardware-first design strategy to lock us into a four-bit microcontroller)."
The king wisely had the computer scientist beheaded, and the kingdom lived happily ever after.
