Just found the band OK go on Youtube with some very nice video clips, even with some good music. This is something completely different as often seen on TV with just some ‘sexy’ women showing their behind and self proclaimed tough guys.
I wish other ‘top’ bands would pick this up and start making better video clips again.
Ok, by now most people should know not to use Adobe Reader. First of all it has many security issues and secondly, Adobe seems hardly interested in fixing them in time. But what annoys me, is that most sites only provide Foxit Reader as a proper alternative.
I don’t want my programs to show ads, not even an add to urge me to by the pro version. This is also what Foxit does, and I don’t want that.
For those that also don’t want those adds, a few more (windows) alternatives:
- Sumatra PDF
Open source and very small, but also very basic.
- Sorax Reader
Nice looking, although I don’t want such programs to use skins, just use the O/S looks.
- STDU Viewer
My favorite at the moment. It can view more then just PDF. What I like most about it, is the search dialog showing all found entries in the sidebar, not having to use find next/previous all the time.
You can also take a look at PDFreaders.org for more (non-windows) alternatives.
Mankind is getting out of control, trying to control nature.
We are seeking ways to steer (or stop) hurricanes, determine which vegetation should grow in nature preserves and more.
But then I wonder; if you stop a hurricane, where does its energy go? If you steer it away from a coast, which coast do you steer it to? What about all the microscopic life it moves around the planet, the seeds it transports and such? There’s probably a ton more tiny details involved with hurricanes that make me believe it’s very very dangerous to try and control such powerful natural phenomenon.
And I also wonder; if we control which vegetation is allowed to grow, and which animals, in nature preserves, we don’t let evolution decide which life is strong enough to survive the future. By (over) protecting weaker species, we are making nature weaker to deal with future problems that we are throwing at it as well, like pollution and such. We are thus seriously undermining nature’s flexibility.
The best way to ‘destroy’ (life on) our planet is not polluting it, nor waisting its resources.
