You'd probably realize that I wrote the post before this title, PENGUINS!!!!

Trying to think of something. Trying to think of something. I shouldn't need to think, for me to write stuff in here. As evident from all of my previous posts. It's getting more chilly. When ever I think of the word chilly I think of the cartoon character Chilly Willy the Penguin. He was a character on the woody wood pecker show. He sneezed a lot. I think he was oblivious to the fact that there was a person trying to kill him. Being a penguin he was of course portrayed as cute and adorable, but seeing penguins in real life, photos on the internets, a lot of them aren't. I could post some pictures of ugly penguins but would probably throw up.

IIRC/TLDR/TTLY/A/S/L: don't throw up, it is a waste of money.

Planet Saving Tip Eleven

Windows seven is a piece of shit. It represents the changing times in
the computer age.

Way back when, programmers (people who code programs) used to program
for efficiency and compactness. They needed to because if they didn't
their program will run like shit and take up a whole lot of memory
people could not spare. Now a days with processor that do a gazillion
operations per second and seemingly endless amounts of space,
programmers say a metaphorical 'fuck it, lets put this shit out as
fast as possible, we are losing money because the other memory hog we
put out last year didn't make enough money'.

Do you know what this leads to? E-Waste. Poor cities get converted
into landfills to house electronic garbage we don't want anymore
because big companies are offering their city leaders a couple pennies
from their pay check causing the city's water and air and people to be
polluted with things not commonly found in large amount in the human
body.

Do you know why Windows Seven will cause a baby in China to be born
without a left forearm? It conveys the message that people need the
latest crap they put out to be able to keep playing solitary. They
might buy it, and try to install it only to find out that they can't
(prompting Microsoft to message you to upgrade your computer) or in
many cases, runs like shit. People will then feel obligated to upgrade
their computer which to most layman means buying a new computer
completely. Their old computer might stick around the house only to
not be used anymore. It will find its way to a used computer shop
since Goodwill won't accept that stuff anymore, the computer will
replace another older computer on the shelf, that older computer might
find its way to be used in a public school somewhere. The computer it
replaces, now obsolete by peoples standards, will have to be disposed
of. People do not need to upgrade to be able to do the things they
would normally do in their older OS.

What was wrong with Windows XP? (Best unintentional use of
alliteration) My answer, nothing. In my experience there is nothing
Vista could do that XP didn't, other than play the latest Microsoft
published computer games or the latest versions of Microsoft Office.

(which by the way alienates the majority of users, users who are used
to where the tools were in Office 2000 and previous, try to use one of
those new versions of Excel, you will have to relearn where everything
is again, when will Microsoft learn that a program requiring a lot of
buttons, or menu pull downs will always require a learning curve, by
the act of changing the placement of buttons for what they think will
be an easier usable program, well that just decreased productivity for
everyone for a month, and there is a solution, Open Office, it
features 2000 like button placement, it is compact, runs smoothly,
opens and creates anything that Office could, and by the way it is
free, I will give you a link later)

Those programs could have easily been made to play for XP if they
weren't so greedy.

I will even ask what will Windows Seven do that XP can't. I have read
the reasons for upgrading to Windows Seven, put out by the Microsoft
people and not one of then can't be done on XP. The only thing I can
think of is that DirectX 11 drivers will not be available for XP, that
won't matter because all of the future games requiring DX11 will not
run on the Microsoft' black balled OS. Also on the same system how
can one think that an OS (Windows 7) requiring a 1 GHz processor and a
whopping 15 GB (reeks of inefficient use of space given what little
new it can do) of hard drive space will run faster than an OS
requiring 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and a now relatively small 1.5 GB (XP). If
anything they will run at the same speed with a 'modern' computer and
XP will run faster on anything older than two years.

With three major consumer OS releases by Microsoft in this decade,
Microsoft is a victim of it own product. XP in hindsight was a major
success. There was no need to upgrade; XP did and does what the
average person needs. Computer power has grown exponentially since
XP's release, but other than games, the average person does not need
that power. So the computer industry noticing this needed to make it
that you needed to buy a computer every five years. System
requirements are raised every single year with no new feature needed
it. Look at Microsoft Office, 2000 version requires a 233 MHz
processor and 32 MB of ram, while the current day 2010 Office requires
a 500Mhz and 256 MB of ram, yet 2000 can do the majority of things
that 2010 can do (there are new pieces of the office suite that are
not in 2000) and can probably do them faster. There is no need for a
person who only checks there email, surfs the web and watches youtube
videos to need a computer that run complex algorithms to predict the
weather one week in advance. They can look it up on the internet from
the people who get payed to do this like NOAA. Their old computer
becomes garbage yet did everything they needed. That garbage becomes
shrapnel collecting in the blood stream of a mother. One mans garbage
is another's misery.

Yesterday,

All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
oh, I believe in yesterday....

..cough

Yesterday by accident, I walked into the girls bathroom. Not noticing this, I walked to the sink, just then a women walks in. Startled, she asks, "Why are you in the woman's bathroom?". I take in my surroundings, and then I ask,"Why are there urinals in the woman's bathroom?"

Fuel for the mind

Sit in here I can not help but to think about the situation I am in. Early for school, I sit in this café, too rainy for outside walking, or rather too weak for any adventuring. Everyone else around me is looking downward reading or writing, I suppose I am doing the same. I am no different from others, occupying their time with boredom called book work. I guess this would not be called book work, far from it, this post is more likely just too say that I am alive and this blog will be updated.

Autumn, also known as fall, it rains more often, colors become browns, people make analogies too life.

Run away and save yourself.

So many people are sick. It probably has to do with us being in an enclosed area breathing the same air. I got sick, I can trace it do to two people. There was a dude sitting next to me on Friday coughing in my school classroom hall cooperation, later that day at home I was feeling like I had a sore throat after I ate rice and curry.

Fresh air is good for you.

Don't Judge a Post by its Title Because The Title Usually Does Mean Anything.

I had this idea in my head a few hours ago, but I do not know what it was anymore. Maybe I will figure it out later.

Today the strangest thing I saw was a man on a latter using a drill to fix or install something in the area of curtains through a window at 8:30 am. I will probably see something more strange as the day goes on. I do not think the man using the drill found what he was doing strange though. To him it was normal as the sun rising from the east. It is all perception, if an alien would come down to earth and view the sun rising from the east it may be strange to him for his sun rises from the west. Assuming his planet has a west, and his sun rotates in backwards orientation from the earth, although it could be his planet rotates the same orientation as our solar system it is just that we are looking at it upside down.

Excuse my gender bias banter.

Werk Miser

Sometimes you just have to take a break. This is what I am doing, breaking. I got a lot of work to do, many of the things tedious. I didn't eat breakfast today, and now I am feeling it. I am so hungry, cold, and alone. With just 70 cents a day you can help this child. Give him food, warmth, and most importantly hope.
