Red Eye show on Fox

Two idiots made very disgusting jokes about Canadian military. We are rightfully outraged.

]]> But I think that Bill O'Reilly and other Fox hosts are outraged even more as these two idiots gave black eye to Fox News. I am afraid even to think what these big guys and gals are doing right now to these two poor bastards.

Galow-way

In 1946 British sent Lord Haw Haw to gallows (should I say gallow-way?) , in 2005 they elected his modern day equivalent to Parliament. What next? KBE? House of Lords? 10 Dawning Street? O tempora o mores!

]]> BTW, the analogy between Mr Galloway and Mr Wilders is false: the former has socialized with the groups listed by Canadian Government as terrorist groups (and border officials here follow ths list, not one compiled by Mr Galloway, British Government or someone else) while the latter has no terrorist connection.

Freedom of speech: nobody denies Mr Galloway the right to say any crap he wants but he can do it from his office. Mr. Levant was denied the right to speak freely in his own country.

Многоподтиражка

Был наш Миллер полудурок,
Теперь полный идиот,
Свою многоподтиражку
Курам на смех издает!

If they have a Russian version of this newspaper, should I submit my poetry there ?

Complimentary crap III

They did it again! They put Toronto Scar November 12, 2008!
Toronto Scar decided again to provide me with a complimentary copy.

]]> I weighted one day. Next day (November 13) I sent them 2 page fax (one page normal, another reverted colors) requesting to stop and reminding them about our last encounter

Complimentary crap II

It worked! No Scar today. Let's look few days more and send them "Thank you" fax!

Good guys in Vancouver and Ben Gurion

In new Vancouver International Terminal (I am flying to Osaka) there is a free wireless internet and electrical sockets. Good guys!

In Ben Gurion (Israel) there is also free Internet but not power.

These two airports score the best in my roster!

Khadr

He should not be at Guantanamo Bay. He should face justice where he committed his crimes - in Afghanistan.

]]> Another youngster (at the time of crime) came to media hot spot - Samir Kantar, who at age of 16 committed unspeakable crime. Now the beast was released from his cage. I don't want neither of them on my backyard or in my country.

If I was Kantar

I would be scared, really scared. Because if Nasrallah decides that Kantar became too popular, and gets too big portion of love and admiration (well, he deserves them, not everyone, not even Nasrallah managed to smash the scull of a child), a little kaboom would send too beloved Kantar to his 72 virgins (taking probably many of his relatives with them).

]]> Remember the guy who were released last time? He was smart and took pose of submission claiming that the was raped (so he is not a great hero and a challenger).

Child's blood is sticky

Right-dishonorable president and prime minister of lebanon shook hands of child-murderer and some part of the child's blood got transferred to their hands. I hope that no Western leader and Prime Minister of Canada will ever shake their bloody hands!

Ken gone, his buddy Miller to go

Red Ken gone! Londoners became tired of his loony left rhetorics, anti-Zionism (which many, me including, consider as a thinly weiled anti-Semitism) and probably support he got from some of radical (extremist) Moslem preacher caused more harm to him.

Now, hopefully his buddy David Miller, the Mayor of Toronto, pink David as I call him, will go in the next election too. He is just Canadian version of version of Ken, the loony left positions diluted, distilled but equally stupid.

Double windoloser

We see a Windo²loser²

]]>

Windo²: Behind a window, using a windoze junkputer

loser²: because he uses windoze, because he is a political loser

School funding. IV

One could argue that the public should pay only for non-religious portion of education leaving religious education funding to community, church or parents. But those who believe that non-religious part of education in faith-based (or private, or charter) schools should not be funded, are bigots.

]]> Further, if the religious part of education is not funded, then such religions as Global Warming Theory should not be funded as well. Actually, this is not even a legitimate religion but malicious and harmful sect because the supporters of this theory demand to waste public money while supporters of say creationism do not harm anyone (creationism does not have practical implications).

School funding. III

Mr McGuinty justifies his opposition to public funding faith based schools by the fact that they are not inclusive and produce narrow minded people (aka bigots).

]]> He is right: at least one of faith based school system (Catholic) produced at least one bigot (Mr McGuinty). But this system is publicly funded!

People who oppose public funding of all faith based schools are at least honest. But it is not the case with people who support public funding of just one faith based school system.

Message from my MacBookPro

Listen All, I'm glad to tell
That I'm feeling so well,
That I am not junk from Dell,
And my Owner and User,
Is not stupid Windoloser!

Internet Crimes

Some poor lady got fined over $200,000 US for sharing music over Internet. RIAA got her. I am not sure she did it (may be her Windoze PC got zombied). Anyway, whatever RIAA claims this is the victimless crime (unless one counts what profit they would get if everyone who downloaded this music bought it).

Let us talk about real Internet crimes. Everyday I am getting hundreds of "my" email messages bounced back; in almost the cases the original message is attached and in each and every such case I can trace that this original message was sent from Windows PC (and it is secure to assume that it was an infected zombie).

]]> This is a crime with a lot of victims. First of all me: despite my powerful filters sending 95-99% of such emails to /dev/null, spam.gz gets around ten per day (none of them goes to mailbox). Looking through spam wastes my time. Sorting these messages out overloads mail system. Using low threshold for defining message a a spam endangers some legitimate albeit spam looking messages. Second, it is me again: my email address gets blacklisted at some servers. This is an identity theft.

Second, Department of Mathematics and University of Toronto: domain becomes suspect in sending spam and messages originated from math.toronto.edu, toronto.edu become suspect in being spam.

Finally, there are all recipients of these spam messages, whose filters did not sort it as a spam. Also those of them, who could get email from me (definitely negligible minority), or from math.toronto.edu, toronto.edu (less negligible minority) but whose mailserver rejected them.

And we are talking only about email spam (and there is bulletin board spam, blog spam, wiki spam, spoofing and fishing). It is difficult to get immediate perpetrators of these crimes (those who actually wrote those viruses and Trojans) unless justice is going after Windiots whose computers got infected.

But there is a common denominator of all these crimes: the accessory always is Windoze and almost always Outlook Express.

Blank cheque

Today I found in my mailbox the leaflet from the incumbent MPP from Willowdale riding Mr David Zimmer. "Are you going to write to John Tory the blank cheque for undisclosed amount to pay for faith based schools? I don't". Nice. We know the number of children enrolled in such schools and we know how much is given for 1 child. But Mr Zimmer is not going to give this cheque to pay for kids of our neighbors who BTW supported education of our children paying their taxes.

]]> I do not remember to write the blank cheque to Mr McGuilty to cover medical expenses of people living in far country who were fleeing from the war their country started by an unprovoked attack; these people happened to be Canadian citizens but they were not paying taxes and they were evacuated for free by Government of Canada (and the majority thanked Canadian government by bitching about the conditions which were less luxurious than they expected). To have medical coverage under OHIP people should meet 3 months residence requirement. This is the case for all Canadians coming from abroad or even other provinces, like my son came from Graduate studies in Stanford. But for Lebanese this requirement was waived. This courtesy was not extended to Canadian citizens who were in the country which was the victim of aggression.

And Mr Zimmer is talking about "blank cheque"! What a schmuck!
