India, Sri Lanka, LTTE and Mumbai Attack

As all Sri Lankans, I despite these terrorist attacks on India. It isn't the time for calculating aftermath and point fingers at one another. All people and nations to join hands and fight against ruthless terrorists.

I think It demonstrated all of us why all kind of terrorists should be eliminated. There won;t be a more great time to work hand in hand to eliminate terrorisms in all the world.

I think some Indian politicians whom were trying to help terrorists like LTTE and interfere with Sri Lankan infernal affairs will feel how we (lankans) are suffering from terrorism and why we want to end this war. It is easy to say that LTTE should be given a second chance( or rather fifth or sixth chance). But did India invite the terrorists who came to attack Mumbai to Peace talks? Even once?

Terrorists are terrorists. They won't do any good to anyone but themselves. Either they were in Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan or USA.

How to remove nofollow from Bloggs

The following was retrieved from http://www.earnblogger.com/how-to-remove-nofollow-from-blogger/ and it works :)

Almost all blogging software or platforms automatically adds the “nofollow” attribute to all user generated links. It is done to discourage Comment Spam in blogs. But is not friendly for all! And I know that many of us want to remove it, to show our love to the community. Today, let us talk about the Blogger blogging platform. You can easily remove the “nofollow” from your Blogger blogs (blogspot blogs), by a simple modification of your existing template. Read on to know more!

User generated links means links in comments and backlinks or trackbacks. Remove and handle your blog links responsibly. Never give spammers a chance to use your blog for spamming. Mind it, “nofollow” is for spammers and “dofollow” or “no-nofollow” is for bloggers!

How to remove nofollow from Blogger Blogs?

• First, backup your Blogger template. You can do it from the Template>Edit HTML section of your dashboard.
• After completion of your backup, check the “Expand Widgets” box in your “Edit Template” area. It will expand your template.
• Now do a search for “nofollow” in your template. Use Ctrl+F, type “nofollow” in the “Find Box” and hit enter. It will highlight the term in your template code.
• This search will show you two results - one for Backlinks and another for Comments. Look below! The results should be something like this.

rel=’nofollow’> (for backlinks)

rel=’nofollow’> (for comments)

• Decide which you want to remove. I would recommend that you must not remove it from the backlinks. Because you don’t have control over your backlinks and they may came from spam blogs!
• To remove nofollow from blog comments, go to the highlighted section of your template code (rel=’nofollow’>) and simply delete the rel=’nofollow’ portion.
• Press “Save Template” button to save your blog template.

Using or not using “nofollow” depends on you. Mind it, this simple attribute helps in reducing comment spam. If you have removed “nofollow” from your blog, please moderate all your blog comments. And try not to remove “nofollow” from your backlinks.

Forwading Chain Mails

It seems that people are replying and forwarding a lot of chain mails. (chain mails are those mails that say forward this and you will get phones, prizes... forward and a poor person will get 3 cents ... etc.)

Please do not do this because those mails are 100% Hoax/ bogus mails. They can't track whether you forward this mail nor Yahoo/Google wont give anything to anyone for forwarding this. Only a originated IP address can be traced back not the forwarded details. Even that is done in very serious situations like threating or false mails about important people/companies. As a IT person I know this for a fact and I even did some digging to be 100% sure.

The only thing you do by forwarding these kind of mails are..

1. Show you that you can be fooled easily :p

2. Give away your e-mail addresses to a chain mail. and later a receiver will get hundreds of forwarded e-mail addresses in the mail. After that they can start spamming and hacking your accounts.

3. Annoy your friends with filling their inbox with these kind of msgs and other spams.

---

So Guys, Pleas think twice before you fall into these scandals ....

Xubuntu 8.10 .rar Download links

Xubuntu is an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system, using the Xfce desktop environment. Xubuntu's goals are to "provide an easy to use distribution (...) with a focus on integration, usability and performance, with a particular focus on low memory footprint (...) based around the ideals and values of Ubuntu."

Knight Rider.e 06 - Knight of the Living Dead

watched episode 06

but it was not “Knight fever” but “Knight of the Living Dead” :o It wasn’t there to download on the regular date but on the other day. I thought it skipped another day cos of election.

Nice episode. KITT is showing more and more human like thing and I felt really sorry when “he” was getting ready for his “death”. He clearly denies his creator’s request/order to download his files like a stubborn boy.

Mike: “Next time calculate faster”
KITT: “where you injured”
Mike: “Noo..”
KITT: “Then my calculations were fast enough” ROFL :lol:

There are some inconsistencies of the episode though. one is I though KARR (Knight Auto Roving Robot) was a regular car shaped thing which Michael Knight destroyed by forcing it to pull out of the course of a face to face chicken drive. (it was resurrected and killed again) But the images KITT shows to Mike is a thing like a robot with wheels :o Aw, Are they going to introduce a Megatron or Maximus PRiME like transforming robot.. KOOOL.

Another good hint given was the Mike felt some connection with KARR. Did Mike worked in KARR project. Is that what the Alex Torres (FBI agent) is hiding from Mike.

And the audio fingerprint is visualized :o that sucks. If they show that though a goggle or a screen, we can accept that. But spray painting the air, gimme a break :p

And the password inputted to the KITT “LEARNS ALON..” or something is not password masked :o Even I knows you have to mask and hide passwords behind asterisks (**) :lol:

Why Dr. Grayman and Zoe weren’t killed? from what were they shot at?


Aw, from whole 42 minutes were excellent entertainment.

Email + Messaging.. All in One Programme

Email + Messaging.. All in One Programme

Since Yahoo was so popular back then and now everybody is moving to Gmail, most of the people these days have more than one e-mail account. Yahoo, Google, MSN ...etc.

This gets really bad when it comes to chatting/ Instant Massaging (IM). You have to install or keep few browser windows open to be able to see all your contacts. What about FaceBook and other social communities ?

Things could get really complicated and your machine could waste lots of resources if you want to stay online with many accounts.

There are a few programs and web sites that can help you out in a scenario like this. To name a few Meebo,

The most useful and feature full one I've found out is Digsby. It a little software that can manage you e-mail accounts, Instant messaging plus social networks like FaceBook and myspace. You get pop and sound alerts for new messages, notifications in facebook. It will make your life easier.
Full feature set...

Woman's Way Vs Man's Way

Woman's Way: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

Mans Way: Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!

==========================================

Womans Way: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

Mans Way: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato, keep it in the fridge for up to a year.

==========================================

Woman's Way: When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

Mans Way: Go to the bakery, They'll even decorate it for you.

==========================================

Woman's Way: If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant fix.

Mans way: If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Go to McDonalds

==========================================

Woman's Way: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

Mans Way: Celery? Never heard of it.

==========================================

Woman's Way: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

Mans Way: The frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.

==========================================

Woman's Way: Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Mans Way: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!

==========================================

Woman's Way: If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

Mans Way: Go ask that cute babe next door if she can open it for you.

==========================================

Woman's Way: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

Mans Way: Leftover wine???????????

A Little Tip On Emailing

A Little Tip On Emailing

It is said that E-mail by product of Internet is the most used application these days. Most of the users go online only to check emails. So are you doing it right? What Can you do to reduce the 1000 of spam mails on your inbox? Pls follow below mentioned tips to make things easy for you and your contacts (friends)

• 
  

When you get a Spam mail (unwanted mail), Don't open it. Press the "REPORT SPAM" button, Don't press the "DELETE" button. Don't ever reply to spam mails.

Always forward mails using BCC to avoid exposing your email IDs/Contacts to
spammers. Put only one mail address in "TO" field if necessary.


Remove all traces of emails ID left behind by less IT Literate people. These are the hundreds of email addresses that lies before the forwarded massage.

Do not forward chain mails (ie. Forward this and you get 1$/iPhone, If you want forward you'll die within 7 days...) Are you rally that stupid to believe these stuff ?

Don't print every mail you get. Save paper, Save trees.

If a Email is suspicious, don't open it. Conform the sender by another mail or call. Or just delete it.

When you register in various websites (ie. friends and community sites) Don't give them your address book content. They start spamming all your friends.

Don't hit "forward" button for every mail you get. Too much of bulk mail sending will make you a spammer eventually.

Make folders (ie.Academic, Friends, Important mails) and/or Filters to keep your account tidy.

Make groups of your e-mailing contacts (ie. Friends, All Friends in School). Hence if you want to forward mails often, you can just enter the group name and send. NO need to hand pick each address each time.

Don't include images that are flashing/ blinking or large in size. It is harsh on eye and distracts the reader from the actual content of the email.

Don't use too large and/or colored fonts in the mail. It is not descent and make it harder to read.

Please you your common sense and keep emailing a pleasant activity on the internet.

Comments, amendments, suggestions are welcome at .

Characters of Smallville

Wonder about your favourite Smallville character in your dreams. Here is a good resource I found when i was searching. It is a small site called wikipedia :D

Follow the link to find out more about your favorite Smallville characters

DO MEN REMEMBER ANNIVERSARIES?

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night?'

The husband looks up from his coffee,

Husband: 'I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16. Do you remember back then?' he says solemnly.

The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring, so sensitive.

'Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.


Husband: 'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?'

'Yes, I remember!' said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

Husband: 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said,

'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'

'I remember that too' she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says...

Husband: 'If I Choose to go to Prison, I would have been released today.'

WHO KNEW THIS???

Here is a Important massage I got

I have been driving for over 50 years. I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in

the face the whole time...I didn't...and I bet you didn't either...

Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the petrol station wondered...mmm, which side is the petrol filler cap?

My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car!!!!

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the petrol station or put your neck at risk of uncomfort or injury.

If you look at your petrol gauge, you will see a small icon of a petrol pump?

The handle of the petrol pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the petrol pump?

If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo). It is that simple!

I don't know how you feel right now but when I found out this morning I felt cheated!

WHY don't the dealers share such important information with car buyers?

I don't understand why this isn't in the Highway Code or even the car manufacturers manual??

I don't get why any mechanic I have ever been too or know has even thought of mentioning this to me??

The only possible explanation can be that all these people probably don't even know!

Go out and share the worlds best kept auto secret with your friends as this is information is way too important to be kept secret.

THE BEST OF THE WORST

THE WORST HIJACKING

We shall never know the identity of the man who in 1976 made the most unsuccessful hijack attempt ever. On a flight across America, he rose from his seat, drew gun and took the stewardess hostage.
'Take me to Detroit,' he demanded.
'We're already going to Detroit,' she replied.
'Oh ... good,' he said, and sat down again.

THE WORST BANK ROBBERY

In August 1975 three men were on their way in to rob the Royal Bank of Scotland at Rothesay, when they got stuck in the revolving doors. They had to be helped free by the staff and, after thanking everyone, sheepishly left the building.
A few minutes later they returned and announced their intention of robbing the bank, but none of the staff believed them.
When they demanded 5,000 pounds in cash, the head cashier laughed at them, convinced that it was a practical joke.. Then one of the men jumped over the counter, but fell to the floor clutching his ankle. The other two tried to make their getaway, but got trapped in the revolving doors again.

THE WORST ANIMAL RESCUE

During the firemen's strike of 1978, the British Army had taken over emergency fire fighting and on 14 January they were called out by an elderly lady in South London to retrieve her cat which had trapped up a tree.
They arrived with impressive haste and soon discharged their duty. So grateful was the lady that she invited them all in for tea. Driving off later, with fond farewells completed, they ran over the cat and killed it!!

LAWYERS Vs INSURANCE

This is the best lawyer story of the year, decade, and probably the century.
A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, and then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost 'in a series of small fires.'
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and won!
In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated, nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire, and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the 'fires.'

NOW FOR THE BEST PART...

After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!!
With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.
This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

Reasons for ComplanisReasons for Complains

A couple came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife gave a listing of every problem they had.

She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, blah, blah, blah and blah...

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said,
"This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"

The husband thought for a moment and replied,
"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish."

Knight Rider... Other Characters

Sarah Graiman

is the daughter of Charles Graiman and childhood friend of Mike Traceur. She is a 24 year-old Ph.D. student at Stanford when the movie starts. K.I.T.T. contacts her to let her know that her father, who created both him and the original K.I.T.T. has gone missing. With Mike, she and K.I.T.T. go on a search for him.

Trivia

• In Episode 102: Journey to the End of Knight she tells Mike that her bucket list of things to do before she dies includes summiting Kilimanjaro, sailing around the world, and making love on a beach while listening to Puccini.

Charles Graiman

is the father of Sarah Graiman, and designer of both the Knight Industries Two Thousand and Knight Industries Three Thousand versions of K.I.T.T.

It was Charles Graiman who chose to send K.I.T.T. to Mike Traceur for help in the Knight Rider movie.

In the first episode of the 2008 Knight Rider television

series it can be seen that he is very proud of K.I.T.T. when he is able to adapt quickly to survive a missile impact. While worried about his daughter's safety in the burning car, he is also able to put aside his concerns and focus on downloading the data she obtained, even if it means putting her into slight additional danger. At the end of the episode, he has a brief conversation with Alex Torres about Mike's missing memories from Iraq, which suggests that he knows something about what happened.

Billy Morgan

is the head research technician at Knight Industries.

He has seven advanced degrees in math and physics, including

• applied physics
• quantum physics
• mechanical engineering
• electrical engineering
• chemistry
• discrete mathematics
• applied mathematics

He collects comic books and sci-fi collectibles, and is a Doctor Who fan. He enjoys games such as Planetary Warcraft and Gears of War. His hobbies also include making homemade rockets. Billy is very squeamish. In Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor, he throws up whe n the "package" has his thumb cut off, and then faints when KITT cauterizes the wound.

Zoe Chae

is the office administrator for Knight Industries. Although she seems ditsy at times, she is actually quite intelligent and can hold her own in the

secretive environment. She speaks 9 languages. Her sense of humor is quite snarky, and frequently aimed at Billy Morgan.

In Episode 103: Knight of the Iguana, she and Mike go undercover together as a honeymooning surfer couple. She is assigned to the mission because she can surf and speaks Spanish. Her glee in the role makes Mike uncomfortable.

Trivia

• In Episode 104: A Hard Day's Knight, Mike, under the influence of a truth serum, reveals that Billy calls her the "Asian Sensation" behind her back.

Alex Torres

is an F.B.I. agent and the boss of Knight Industries. His focus is on the success of the mission, rather than the safety of the agents.

In Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor, K.I.T.T. discovers that most of his records are classified. In a short scene with Charles Graiman at the end of the episode it is revealed that he is somehow linked to Mike's missing memories, and determined to keep Mike from remembering everything.

Knight Rider... Mike Traceur

Mike Traceur is the estranged son of Michael Knight. He is the childhood friend and former fiancée of Sarah Graiman.

Personality
Mike is charming and outgoing. He is an excellent fighter, and has no hesitations about using his fists to obtain results. He is also very loyal to his friends. He is something of a lady's man, and enjoys flirting when the chance arises.

History

Youth

Mike is the son of Michael Knight and Jennifer Traceur. As a child he did not know his father, or even his father's name. According to his own admission, he had a difficult childhood and didn't have a fantastic bond with his mother. While he enjoyed his time with Sarah Graiman, he left his life behind to enlist in the US Army Rangers.

As an Army Ranger, Mike served in Iraq. He also did special classified missions. During a classified mission to Beirut he made a quick call to Sarah Graiman, proposing. Sarah accepted, but Mike then vanished for the next three years. He has no memory of much of this time period, including the trip to Beirut.

Recruitment by Knight Industries

Charles Graiman, the creator of KITT, had left instructions that should anything happen to him, KITT was to secure Sarah's safety and then find Mike. They find Mike attempting to raise cash quickly to pay off a large debt to some men who are holding his roommate captive. He agrees to help Sarah only when she promises to pay off the debt, and when he realizes that she is in immediate danger from mercenaries who have followed her to him. During their efforts to save Charles, Mike's mother is shot and killed. On the way to her funeral, Charles reveals that he's re-forming FLAG. He'd like Mike to drive KITT. Mike refuses, claiming that he doesn't believe the same things that Charles does. At the funeral, Mike meets his father, who tells his son what Wilton Knight had said on his deathbed: one man can make a difference. As they say goodbye, Mike asks if he will see his father again, and his father says that he hopes so. Mike changes his mind and agrees to become KITT's driver.

Name Change

During Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor, a simple retrieval mission is repeatedly derailed by mercenaries from Mike's past. Realizing that this is a problem, Carrie Ruvai fakes his death. Forced to choose a new name for himself, he suggests Michael Long. Zoe and Billy both insist this is a porn-star name. A few minutes later he introduces himself to Sarah as Michael Knight.

Memory Gaps

As Mike starts to work for FLAG it becomes obvious that there are large gaps in his memory from his years in the Army. People he can't remember claim to know him from places he doesn't remember going. KITT confirms that there are many gaps in Mike's service record, and he cannot help Mike fill them. Sarah, when questioned, says that Mike did not tell her he was going undercover in any way; he just disappeared. Carrie Ruvai obtains some classified files for Mike, but even those are not complete.

During his 2nd mission, Mike accidentally brushes his army tattoo against KITT's hood. He is amazed when KITT lights up with files and information on his forgotten past which he tries desperately to read. The approach of the bad guys forces Sarah to hide the files by pushing Mike down onto them and jumping on top of him as if they were making out. By the time they can check again the files are gone. Because they were on KITT's exterior, the car itself did not see them. and Mike cannot figure out how to re-activate them.

Relationships

Romantic

• Sarah Graiman: Mike's childhood friend and former fiancée is now his partner at work. Although he frequently denies that they are still involved, and she suggests that she doesn't want to date him again, it is clear that both still care for each other. Mike feels a responsibility to look out for Sarah's safety, despite the fact that she is trained as an agent. It is clear that Sarah's father believes Mike should take care of her as well.

• Mysterious Woman: On his first mission, Mike meets a hispanic woman who appears to know him well. KITT finds footage which shows Mike sharing an intimate lunch with the woman in Beirut, shot on the same day that Mike called Sarah and proposed to her before disappearing. Mike insists that he has never been to Beirut. When the woman realizes that Mike truly does not remember this part of his past she is horrified.

Friendly

• KITT: Michael quickly develops a camraderie with KITT, watching old western movies with him and choosing his team in water-gun fights.

Logical Inconsistencies

• According to KITT, in "Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor," the missile was tracking Mike and not KITT, who had made his own heat signature neutral. It is unclear how the missile could sense Mike's heat signature inside the neutral KITT, or why Sarah was not similarly a target. ( this may be due to tat the missile was not homing in on Mike's heat, perhaps his DNA or other bio signatures )
  

• In the Knight Rider movie, Sarah claims that she didn't hear from Mike after he left for Iraq. In "A Knight In Shining Armor," she says that he called her once after he left and proposed, after which she didn't hear from him again. ( Perhaps she was trying to ignore the humiliation)
  

• In the third episode, "Episode 103: Knight of the Iguana", a mercenary recognized Mike, and seemed unsurprised that he was not dead.

Why Bill Gates decides to Sell OFF Microsoft?

A Letter from Banta Singh (a guy from India) to Mr. Bill Gates

Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,



We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.



1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.


2. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.


3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.


4. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Mi crosoft sentence', so when you will provide that?


5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will ovide the remaining items?


6. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that ?


7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.


8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?


9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.





Regards,

Banta





PS: Last one to Mr. Bill Gates:


Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS?

Memory Clinic

Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other,

"Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?"
"Outstanding," Fred replied.
"They taught us all the latest psychological techniques: visualization, association, etc. It was great."

"That's great! And what was the name of the clinic?"

Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember.
Then a smile broke across his face and he asked,

"What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
"You mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's it!"

He turned to his wife,

"Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"

Law Joke

An attorney telephoned the governor just after midnight, insisting that he talk to him regarding a matter of utmost urgency.

An aide eventually agreed to wake up the governor.

"So, what is it?" grumbled the governor.

"Judge Garber has just died" said the attorney, "and I want to take his place."

The governor replied: "Well, it's OK with me if it's OK with the undertaker."

Season 4 to season 5

Knight Rider... the 2008 series

Yeey... The New Knight Rider season Started officially. Just finished watching episode 1, twice. ",

AS all the fans are debating, there are lots of pro and cons in the the show and they differ greatly from one viewer to another.


The major debate is about the car.. KITT 3000. As you may know we were fallen in love with the KITT 2000. So anything other is good enough to be the second best. That happened to this car. Although i initially liked the car, after reading all the fan sites i started to have second thoughts.. Anyway, After the feature TV film, they have included a attack ode and a transformation feature. My personnel opinion is that attack mode is more cooler than the regular mode but the transformed pick up sucks :p Most of the fans around the world do not like the ford mustang GT 500 very well. I have to agree though cos there are lot cool designs out there. It think the creators definitely needed a ideal American model :p There were lot nice looking cars in episode one and too than the KITT:( But hte silver line here is that if the Knight rider team understand that Ford Mustang just wont go, they'll just transform it in to a Ferrari, McLaren, Bugatti or Even a Toyota Hybrid :lol:










Have to say that the leading actress is smoking hot. Perhaps too hot to have a Phd in Physics ;) As to the car, I like David Hasselhoff a bit than the new guy. But he is OK.

Droping off from a air plane instead of the old container carrier is awesome. And i love the new KITT's voice. It's cool. But the display for KITT's mouth has changed after the TV movie.:( The new sphere doesn't go with the car very well... And the Transforming is too much fantasy engineering i say. But hay, Knight Rider is all about that .. eh? :)

Another thing that suck is the helicopter that chases KITT in the start of the season. The Computer Generated images are so lame. It looks like a toy helicopter. They should have put a lil bit polygons (resolution) to it ^_^

The bottom line for most of the fans would be they all watch it cos they loved the old seasons. They like the new one but hard to say they love it :p Hope the creators will read some fan sites and learn from the mistakes. Good Luck KITT 3000

NUmb3rs, the TV show

Hey guys,

Any one interested in Numb3rs? I mean the TV show :p

feel free to discuss your thoughts here.
I know it's kinda lame and late, but i started watching the season one recently. Downloaded all four seasons for a friend and one of my mentor who has a Masters degree in Maths. Since i spent lots of time DLing it, thought of spend some more time watching it :D

I have to say, the pilot is kinda low. After watching it, i thought of stooping. But continued anyway ( lucky me)

I thought the show is all about maths and stuff. But since the FBI is involved and the way they present it is kinda interesting.

And since the math prof always describe the detailed maths to FBI morans and his father, viewers like us (also morans in maths) can keep their interest alive :)

The bottom line is, it's a good interesting show and i'm looking forward for "watching" it

Prison Break s04e05

Just Watched s4e05









Just Watched s4e05

And i am just wondering, Why is Dominic Purcell's name comes out in the show title clip befor Wenworth Miller ? :o :unsure: Isn't Micheal the leading role in PB ? <_<>African American . Since now he is gone, There is that 6' 4", 220lb killing machine ^_^

Arh, that reminds me another thing, The whole world is using metric measurement units (Celcious, Meters, Grams ...) Why the heck is America still using imperial unit's (Fahrenheit, pounds, Miles) It's not convenient at all. <_< notv ="=" id="97YCG0O88" id="84EVF5I46" id="51TFN8B88" id="95QWX8N70" d="L4Q3O4NM" d="B2HR7OUV" d="C094EXDN" d="TYPUVQ21" id="33TLS5J03" id="36WZF3Q81" id="09PGW7Q69" id="26MKY3X29" reencode ="=" id="93OYQ1S42" id="">
