Very often I get people asking me what Linux distribution I use. I used to be a big fan of Linux Mint, but in the past year I have moved to Ubuntu. This is why I no longer use Linux Mint.
So by now you may or may not have seen T-mobile’s commercial about Billshrink.com. Well, I decided to try the site out, I put in my info and after battling the site’s login system (I had to setup my account twice), the site recommended a new plan for me. This new plan was offered by [...]
Today a random teacher talked about Obama’s address yesterday. He said that it was the first time that he heard a president talk about education in the past 8 years. That is not true, one of Bush’s major issues was education, to say something like that shows complete ignorance. Also at one point a kid [...]
Every fiscal year Wikimedia (the organization behind Wikipedia) produces an annual report that talks about what it has accomplished and how it spent money. This year’s report can be viewed here. Like most reports of this type, wikimedia’s report has nice graphics and is visually appealing. However, unlike most reports of this type, wikimedia uses the [...]
Just wondering, where has Joe Biden been since the vice presidential debates!??!? I have heard almost nothing from him while I hear a lot about Sarah Palin.
Around passover MTV aired two very good holocaust ads. They are here and here. Both of the ads are good at making people think. It looks some anti-semites realised this too and modified parts of the ads to talk about the “holocaust” of the palestinians and to claim that the real holocaust never happened. I [...]
Every morning I wake up to the same sound of my alarm clock wrenching from my sleep. The same thing happened this morning, and after two unsuccessful attempts at going back to sleep, I walked out of my room and brushed my teeth. Then I went back to my room took off the clothes that [...]
Look at the Arab protest, then watch the Jewish response… (this video is from march 2008, the Muslims are supporting this terrorist attack and the death of Jews, the Jews are singing songs of peace)
I really hate it when developers change something when the old system worked just as well if not better than the new one. Mozilla did it when they got rid of the lock icon if FireFox and it looks like google just did when they moved the tabs in iGoogle. The old iGoogle had tabs [...]
Can we ever make peace? What scares me the most is that the the children are not only told to kill Israelis, but they are told to kill Jews, wherever they might be.
I don’t think that it is any secret that CNN often manipulates stories about Israel to be pro Arab and anti Israel and Jewish. Recently I read an article that talked about the current “cease-fire” in between terror/government group Hamas and the state of Israel. The article is here and its neutral POV (point of view) equivalent on Fox [...]
Today I went to see the movie “You don’t mess with the Zohan”. It was funny, and after being in Israel for 4 months I understood a lot of the jokes that the other people in the theatre did not understand. However that is not to say that the audience did not understand the jokes [...]
Today I went to school and saw people who I have not seen for 4 months. It was really nice to see how people have changed and grown. I also got my yearbook and noticed that the TIF page and the page about the 10th grade shabbaton had the same descriptions that last year’s did [...]
Dollar VS. New Shekel over the past 5 years: over the past 2 years: over the past year: over the past 3 months: Does any one else notice the general down ward spiral of the dollar??!?!!?
As anyone who has ever looked at the comic xkcd will know, xkcd is awesome! And it seems to be getting more and more popular and even people who know nothing about computers are looking at it. An example of this is my friend(who knows almost nothing about computers) who asked me if I had hear of xkcd. [...]
Today was my first day of classes at school this year….. and the stress begins again.
Today I got rubber bands on my braces. They are the origin of a lot of pain and annoyance to me. Every time that I want to eat I have to take them out then put them back in. I also have to change them every morning…. Not Cool!
