Normal manufacturing date: December of 2005. Which is about right.
Guess what? The second RAM module is/will be built in 2036! Look mum, I've got a piece of the future!

Interesting things about my notebook
Was going through some of the details of my notebook with Cpu-Z, when I saw this:

Review: School Rumble Volume 5 trading cards
Starting from Volume 4 of the School Rumble manga, something called character trading cards were introduced. Despite their name, they are just pages in the manga, to quote Wannabe Wiki:

There are numerous pages in the manga that depict character trading cards. Each "card" shows a set of abilities and a pentagon power grid of the character. This is just some trivia information thought up by the author Kobayashi Jin himself.So what else? I did another comparison!

Harima vision is scary
Seriously. School Rumble 二学期 ep 12:
Reality. As seen by 99% of the world.
Tenma as viewed through Harima vision (TM)
I've honestly never felt so sorry for a 不良 in my entire life.
The subs need some more exclaimation marks through.

The great journey: AirAsia X in Gold coast!
Now that the dust has settled from the AirAsia X announcement that they are looking at Gold Coast as their first destination, lets look at the practical bit.
When AirAsia announced their plan to go international, forums were abuzz with "we can go back 3 times a year!" conversations. But can we?
First, a geography lesson: AirAsia is not flying to Brisbane Airport. They are flying to Coolangatta Airport. And its not near.
Brisbane at the top, Coolangatta at the bottom.
Geographically, its about 110km from Brisbane. Or just slightly more than an hours drive. But thats assuming that you have a car or someone to send you in the first place.
One would have thought that Brisbane airport, with their half-hourly airtrain service, would be a logical point for budget travelers, who would prefer public transport. But instead, when they land at OOL, they'd have to get a taxi. Which at A$1.10 flagfall and $2.50/km, is probably going to be almost as expensive as flying here in the first place.
OOL is an interesting airport in that one end is in QLD and the other end in NSW. So in summer, walking from one end of the runway to the other end, you kinda gain or loose an hour, depending on where you start.

Its probably fitting, as Tweed Heads is where most people go and usher in the new year twice. The town in divided by Main Street; one side is in QLD, the other in NSW. So people call in the new year on the NSW side first, party like mad, then cross the road, and do it all over again on the QLD side. Some one needs to find where QLD, NSW and SA meet; then they would be able to usher in the new year 3 times! :D
Public transportation to OOL is poor as far as I can see. The closest is Robina. Trains depart Central to Robina every half-hour or so, and it takes about an hour and half to get to Robina, one way setting you back $11 (which doesn't sound too bad, as the airtrain is also $11 one way to BNE). From Robina is still a 20km journey to OOL. So if you thought getting to KLIA was far, its going to be worst with OOL. My guess is that people will need at least 2.5 hours just to get from Brisbane to OOL.
Thats even longer than fighting my way down the causeway!
Personally, I hope that AirAsia X fails. Only because the low-cost model doesn't work with long haul. Seriously, just getting to and from the airport is an adventure in itself! Just thinking about makes me want to say "I'm going to need a holiday after that!".

What is the world coming to!?!?!?!?!?!?
Disclaimer: the following post may be controversial, insulting and disturbing to some. If you have no or little interest in anime, I strongly suggest you give this post a miss. This is my site, and I will not tolerate any critism that is unjustified and unwarranted by anyone who does not have any facts to back themselfs up.
You have been warned. I Timothy do not claim responsibility for anything that happens if you read beyond this line.
Was reading Otakuzone a few days back, when I came across the usual Top 10 anime in Malaysia ending for the week of 26 Aug. Something caught my eye.
Specifically, item no 8.
Yes, "Otome Ha Oboku Sama Ni Koishi".
That sounded familar. So familar. Too familar in fact, that is set off alarm bells in my head.
A quick search later, and I saw this:
Yes, that is a "tulen" sticker on the bottom right.
ITS A TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
処女はお姉さまに恋してる!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me translate that into Chinese= 乙女爱上姐姐。
乙女 = girl, maiden
爱上 = fall in love with
姐姐 = elder sister
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Essentially, its a story of a boy (yes, someone with a XY chromosome) who is sent to a all girls school thanks to his late grandfathers will. Only problem is, he's, er, male, and when was the last time you saw a male student in St Mary? So he has to dress and er, act like a girl.
Suddently, having a law that says people over 90 should not be allowed to change their will sounds like a good idea fater all.
To make things worst, take a look at what the seller/distributer is saying:
Yes, apperently getting a sticker from the Censorship board is now a selling point.
And believe me, they're not kidding.
Let me this straight: we are not allowed to hold hands with our girlfriends when walking in the KLCC park, but we allow a questionable anime through to be the top 10 best selling anime according to The star.
Its all the fanboys I tell you. As I said, their questionable slogans don't inspire much confidence. Honestly, didn't alarm bells start ringing when they saw the cover?!
Honestly, what is the world coming to?! Am I the last person alive on this earth thats sane?
