I am sure you have heard by now that Sheryl Crow would like for us to not use toilet paper. Apparently the trees that are planted by the paper mill companies, which provide oxygen until their planed "homicide," are causing some sort of a global problem. I don't want to think about the amount of dysentery that would be passed if Americans only used a square of toilet paper. Our fast-food restaurants are disgusting enough.
If we want to conserve, and it's paper we are talking about, why can't we start with the those motherphuking, good for nothing, faux coupon mailbox jammers? Every day the mail-person cuts down a Redwood tree, chops it up, and jams the mailbox full of litter. It is literally litter. In every apartment building these are all over the floor. I would much rather this paper be used for a better purpose.
Download form 1500 from the USPS and send it in. "Postmasters may not refuse to accept a Form 1500 because the advertisement in question does not appear to be sexually oriented. Only the addressee may make that determination." Source
The real solution needs to start with the Super Markets. They need to stop sending us this junk. If they don't…we will be forced to use it for toilet paper. Please Sheryl, think about these things. You are in a position of influence. People are listening to you. Making radonkulous statements only diminishes the cause. I hope this was a bad joke taken out context. Please stop the mailbox litter if you really want to make the world a better place.
Amarok is a Music Library Organizer. It uses SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSql to index your entire music library. Amarok blows iTunes away. The interface is light weight and beautiful. The ability to search, sort and create playlists couldn't be any easier. As the player changes songs, a "Web 2.0" banner fades in showing you the name of the track, the artist, the album and the album artwork. It took about 10 minutes to index my entire library of 40GBs.
Amarok currently only runs on Linux. The Amarok Development Team is working with Google in the Summer of Code project to natively port Amarok to OSX and Windows. So hopefully you will be able to use the best music player in the world real soon.
Amarok alone would make me switch to Linux, had I not gone 'buntu already. So make the switch cause Amarok is well worth it.
Here is the second collection from the world's most talented artist, Sunil Bhanot. If you are interested in purchasing these, please contact me.
The other day I was having a conversation with someone and they said "I believe Excel is possibly the greatest program ever invented." I thought about it and I really couldn't argue it. Are there other great programs? Absolutely! The Turbo Tax website might also take the prize, IMO. These programs take something that is actually very complex and simplify it to drag and drop, point and click. These programs make our life easier.
As I continued to think about other programs that possibly could compete, I realized something else. Qmail is the WORST program ever created. Qmail is an MTA (Mail Transport Agent) written by Daniel J. Bernstein. It was first released on January, 24, 1996. It's final and current release was June, 15, 1998. Daniel stopped working on Qmail 9 years ago. Qmail has a cult following that has attempted to patch the buggy, broken software.
According to Wikipedia, and various other sources, Daniel has offered a $500 "reward" to anyone who is able to prove Qmail is vulnerable. Georgi Guninski published his report in 2005 but Daniel has refused to pay saying these security holes do not meet his standards. Interesting…
Qmail sucks! Any software that hasn't had an official release since 1998 is deprecated. You can only patch for so long. The 3rd party patches will start to conflict and need to be included in the core. Qmail needs to be entirely rewritten. Qmail is based on the world's most popular MTA, Sendmail. Sendmail has many critics. Sendmail has many flaws. No one claims Sendmail is perfect by any means. Sendmail comes with any Linux distro and is easy to stop and start. It's easy to check the mail queue and just as easy to flush it. Sendmail works. The Qmail cult loves to say Qmail is better than Sendmail. That's like saying it's better to drown than be burned alive.
If you are looking for an MTA, chances are you are going to have to pay for it. Writing an Enterprise level MTA takes a lot of time and a lot research. Big companies spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours developing secure, scalable, MTAs, that work. www.zimbra.com happens to be my favorite Enterprise MTA. It has a customizable AJAX interface with all of the functionality of MS Exchange. For $50, a direct-push plugin can be purchased for Blackberry and Windows Mobile compatibility.
Some things are just better when you pay for them. I am currently moving all of my email to Zimbra. But when I need to send some basic form mail, I am using good ol' Sendmail.

Do you like taking a shower in the morning? Do you like drinking coffee in the morning? Well now you can get that rush of morning caffeine…while in the shower.
Think Geek now offers caffeinated soap. The soap seems very natural except for the Jolt Cola amount of caffeine. This is perfect for people who have trouble waking up before hitting Starbucks for a quadruple shot Macchiato.
This is a great gift for a caffeine addict or that stinky d00d who keeps falling asleep at his desk.

No, it's just Jared Leto. He some how manges to look even more radonkulous than this guy
The Big Lebowski is a terrible movie. I know this probably the most controversial thing I have said on this blog. But seriously, What Da Phuk is with this movie? Everyone seems to love it. I don't get it. I like the Coen brothers. I love the movie Fargo. But for some reason, on the IMDB message boards, people are bashing Fargo and LOVING The Dude.
I can't stand The Dude. I also can't stand John Goodman, in this movie. I have tried. I have given this movie enough chances. I didn't like Anchorman the first time I saw it. I liked the second time and loved it the 3(5893)rd time.
Since I am currently watching The Big Lebowski, I think it is perfectly fair for me to say I hate this phuking movie. I am turning it off. I'd much rather watch reruns of the Carson Daly Show.
