I Feel Sad Again ... Sort Of

Carrie won AI4. Bo lost.

Well, to be fair, Carrie did perform very well in that final, especially her last song. THAT was the clincher.

And both definitely deserves to be in the final.

I Feel Sad

I feel sad to see in this new world of internet, how easy it is for people to spread misinformation without being held responsible. I know it's been going on for a while what with all those conspiracy theorist and "help raise money to cure our son's cancer by forward this email" emails.

At least if somebody forwards you such email, you have a chance to rebuke.

But what if it's an article on the web? Yesterday I stumbled into this site while doing some search in Google:

A critique of Einstein

At first I felt angry when I read it. But after it was over, I felt more sad than angry. Sad not because somebody's criticizing Einstein, but sad by how such blatant misinformation is easily spread in this age of internet.

Imagine people who does not know better reading this article. It would be nice if everybody thinks critically, but that's wishful thinking. Especially if you consider the type of people who visits sites with religious slant such as this one. I wager most will swallow his "argument" whole.

Primacy of observation over doctrine. How I wish ... how I wish.

yet another hello world

maap guys kalo postingannya rada narsis... but i cant help it.. its abap :)

NAV Blues

Ketempat client, di Clementi, IE nya ngaco dan NAV nya corrupt.

First step: Clean spywares. Install Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware SE, SpywareBlaster, and HijackThis.

Cleaned 140 spywares, removed several IE hijacks. IE working fine but for some reason can't connect to HTTPS. Solution according to MS: reinstall SP2 ... blah, don't feel like it.

Second step: Install Firefox + FlashPlayer + JRE 1.50. Works perfectly.

Third step: Reinstall Norton AntiVirus.

Because it was bought online, no CD was provided and the original download went missing. Had to register and re-download again. I must say ... very fast internet indeed :)

Next, run the installation program. Asked wether want to do pre-install scan. Well ... doesn't hurt, does it? Clicked "Yes".

30 minutes later ... still scanning and no end in sight ... grrrrrr ... clicked "Abort Scan".

Continued installing ... yada yada yada ... dum doo dee dum ... this is a freaking slow installer ... dum deee dum ... Norton AntiVirus encountered internal error ... invalid type in XXXX.html .... ?????????

Checked symantec.com. Apparently the NAV user interface is in HTML and dependent on IE!!!!

HOW STUPID IS THAT!!!

IMAGINE YOUR IE BEING ATTACKED BY SPYWARE AND VIRUS ... AND YOUR ANTIVIRUS STOPPED WORKING ... nice move Symantec.

Installed AVG.
Problem solved.
