Legal & Logical

After having failed his exam in “Logistics and Organization” , a student goes and confronts his lecturer about it.
Student: “Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?”
Professor: “Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!”
Student: “Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an “A” for the exam. ”
Professor: “Okay, it’s a deal. So what is the question?”
Student: “What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?”

Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an “A”, as agreed.

I’d played my first paintball game!

Yesterday was the 1st time I played this game, even though I know about this game since it was invented. It was fun, thrill and as the first timer, I can’t deny that I was a bit excited. We played somewhere at Bukit Jalil sports centre.

We had a good time shooting, running and of course, get shot at! I got 2 direct hit to my stomach and arm and the bruises lasted for a few days. Well, it’s OK as that’s part of the game.

What is Paintball?

What is Paintball?

Popularly described as a more advanced and challenging version of ‘tag’ and ‘hide & seek’. Paintball can hardly be considered a child’s play. Think of it as a game where adults can get together for a dose of serious fun as they explore their adventurous and competitive streaks.
In paintball, strength and speed can only take you so far. Success comes from a combination of strategy, quick thinking, leadership abilities and, most importantly, team work. Paintball is not just about de-stressing; it promotes team spirit, effective communication, problem solving and decision making skills, self confidence, and tunes up your hand – eye coordination. Most importantly, it teaches you to keep cool when under pressure, and that winning is just half the fun………..the other half comes from just playing the game.

Paintgun/Marker
Paintguns, also called ‘marker’, comes in a variety of shapes and styles. They may be powered by carbon dioxide ( co2 ) or compressed air. Many have power systems that use large refillable cylinders called ‘tanks’ or ‘bottles’ that fire hundreds of shots before needing to be refilled. Some use small 12 gram Co2 as their power source, each powerlet being good for 15 to 30 shots.

Dude, where’s my country?

Guys,
Just completed reading this funny book. Well, it’s funny and true! I don’t think I need to introduce Micheal Moore anymore :), Being an American, he’s really frank about what’s happening in the US, even more frank than some non-American around the world.

and I, being a non American myself, feel a big relief, since there’s someone inside US soil that really brave to talk the truth, nothing but the truth. Honestly, that’s the beauty about the place call USA, you can talk and do anything without being arrested, as long as you didn’t kill anyone, of course… Feel sad about some country who claimed that are ‘free speech country’ but not even allowed to say something that directly affect their daily life.. (Maybe I should stop here hehe..)

Linux vs. Windows web Hosting, does it make a difference?

One of the most confusing decisions someone new to web hosting will have to make is which platform their server should be on. There are a number of different choices out there but the main two are Linux and Windows web servers. There are also a lot of sources of information about hosting, but the majority of them are tainted by the author’s biased personal opinion unfortunately confusing the issue. Having just put in some solid hours researching the topic I have come to the conclusion that in general it quite probably does not matter which server you use. For the majority of people it will be far more important to choose a really good web host than to worry about the server-type that they implement.

Microsoft developed and owns the Windows operating system. Linux is open source and generally free. This means it can often be more expensive to set up and run a Windows server. However, this fact doesn’t really affect you unless you are actually setting up a server for yourself and if you’re reading this article then I’m guessing that it’s safe to assume you’re not. This article is going to offer information for those trying to decide which hosting company to go with. The cost involved in running a server does not affect the cost of a web-hosting package as much as you may think. Despite the general opinion that Windows servers are more expensive to run, buying a Windows hosting package can often turn out to be just as cheap or even cheaper than an equivalent Linux hosting package.
