First, I’d like to apologize for the kinky stuff that happened. But one thing I’ve learned: “Don’t fix it if it’s not broken”.

Here’s what happened, due to some retarded reasen, whenever someone goes to “http://q8geeks.org/blog”, it redirects to “Blog might be kinky” post which shouldn’t happen. It would either redirects to the main page “http://q8geeks.org” or give a 404 error.

I screwed up big time that I had to restore a fortunate image I created in August 30th (Right after the first fix attempt which was almost perfect). and work from there.

JustHost guys had hard time dealing with me because I didn’t quite transfer the idea from my head to their but they were kind enough to bear up with me (Till I get to the point where I thought recovering is better than fixing).

So, in case you’ve been wondering what the hell happened, the answer is “I SCREWED UP BIG TIME, NOW THINGS SHOULD BE WORKING FINE”.

I tried with several links. Now “http://q8geeks.org/blog” transfers to “http://q8geeks.org” and whatever old link can work well; it’ll transfer back to its right post.

So yea, I’m really sorry about what happened… But hey, things are working now =D

What happens when you donate $1.9m worth of computers to Iraq?

The answer is, they sell it for $50,000 xD

I tried to avoid writing this post, but I couldn’t help looking at how stupid things are…

U.S government bought $1.9 million worth of computers which is supposed to be delivered to Iraqi students in Babil. What the Iraqi government did? they auctioned it for less than $50,000 at Umm Qasir’ port.

Reason? Port authorities said that the port have the right to sell whatever “unclaimed goods” are left there for over 90 days and they didn’t know they belong to the U.S government.

Though they canceled the auction and retrieved %90 of the whole thing…

/facepalm

Eggmaster sent me this video while Skyping with him… I gotta say, made me freeze in fear for a second…

But then again, I thought of what retarded stuff I can accomplish with that… I’d tell you, but I’ll have to kill you xD

The blog might go kinky in an hour or so…

Well, I’ll be trying a new stunt; I’ll be moving my files from /blog to its root folder.

So things might act crazy and all… I’ve already backed up things just in case things went naughty xD

Taking stupidity to a higher level: Hackers tend to send their malicious codes and viruses to Microsoft by mistake xD

Y’know the annoying message you get whenever Windows XP crashes? The message that asks to send Microsoft the crashed software to check things out? Something like the image below?

Yes, due to some stupidity and lack of attention, hackers tend to crash the system with their drafted malicious code and send it to Microsoft…

I just like how Microsoft’s senior security architects, Rocky Heckman, explained two reasons why the top-ten hacking methods haven’t changed for the last six years in this quote:

One, it tells me that the bad guys go with what they know, and two, it says the developers aren’t listening

It’s funny how they try their malicious attacks on Microsoft that they get 7000~9000 attacks a second xD … And that’s in average too!
You should read the source, it’s really interesting.

Arabic domains sold @ crazed prices!!

So I’ve been searching for Arabic domains — i think; cause i had the tab opened for a month now — and found that Q8electro/Domainco is reselling some arabic domains. That was not the shock, because the domains they sell have .com as their toplevel domain.

The dot com bit is not that much of a problem when writing the Arabic domain. One will not have to switch the keyboard layout when typing the domain, cause Ctrl+Enter automatically adds a .com and navigates to the site.

The shocking bit began when i went through the list of domains and the prices! The first i saw was دردور.com, i honestly dont know the meaning of it and thought it would be really cheap! I was wrong, 50, yes 50 KD!!! I was all exclamations! I continued, but soon my hands were over my head beaning me! Guess for how much they are selling the domain معجزة.com. 100? 200? 250? no, FOR 1000 KD!!!

Seriously, i know they have the right to set such prices, BUT WTH?! From what i saw from the list … i dont think anyone would ever want to buy from them, … unless somebody’s threatening him! I myself would never buy any domain at such prices, even if has my name; محمد.com. Oh wait … sorry, that’ll be worth millions!!

Of course not to forge mentioning that they got another undeclared set of prices for domains of family names! Now if you’re interested, you can go see the list for yourself on their rusty website, no offense!

Oh and just not to be all against them, they’re having discounts right now, during Ramadan! And hey, if you buy one, i’ll know you have monies, and lots of them, to waste ;)

According to The Mozilla Blog, Fennec (thats FireFox Mobile) the Alpha version has been released for testing and download today.

What’s interesting is that this is the first mobile browser to support add-ons. And as a FireFox user i think that’s great, add-ons takes your surfing experience to the next level.

Anyways, here’s a demonstration video:

Duality Costumes Q8

For all those lazy bastards who won’t get their hands dirty into busting up a good looking dual boot computer, here’s your answer: Duality Costumes Q8.

Aight, Duality Costumes Q8 is a home-based business by a guy named Yousef. He builds up computers with decent-to-great specs with either dual boot with the mixture of choice (Windows\OSX… Don’t know about Linux though… But that’ll be awesome!).

The packages page is easy to understand… No bloated info about the specs… Three types of packages with decent pricing and specs for each package…

If you’re having hard time figuring out how to build up a Windows\OSX dual boot computer (Who needs a Macbook or iMac to do that, right?) or just too lazy to do so, he’s the guy.

No Steam on Linux!?

Valve ported Steam on OSX and that brought so much hopes and rumors regarding porting it to Linux… But unfortunately, they won’t…

According to VR-ZONE, Valve won’t be porting Steam to Linux for two reasons: DRM issues which won’t be really accepted by Linux freebies and massive flavors that they can’t to decide on which to work on.

At least that’s what I understood in short, check out the source for more details.
