[UPDATE] Several people did’nt seem to get the cartoon above. I guess its more of a nerd cartoon than a geeky one.
Basically in UNIX, prefixing ‘sudo‘ before any commands gives you a root/super user powers and you pretty much have the power to do anything or make the host do anything. […]

Banksy is quite possibly one of my favourite artists. Because he’s a genius. You will too, after you check out pics of his latest work, showcased this weekend in his Los Angeles show “Barely Legal.” I wish I could have gone, because I would have loved to try and buy one of […]

Google Revealed: The IT Strategy That Makes It Work. A revealing article about what makes Google the kick-ass Geek-Machine that it is. They pretty much write their own tools for internal use, subscribing to my personal motto: “If you want something done right, do it yourself.”
Some of the things I was surprised to […]

This weekend was the very first time in… well, every since I can remember that I traveled out of town without my laptop or Internet connectivity of any kind. And it wasnt easy. Before leaving the flat for my train from London to Manchester on Friday night, I picked up my laptop twice […]

Esquire asks whether Chris Nolan (director of Batman Begins and Dark Knight) the greatest director alive? Well, they just figured that out? I’ve loved Nolan’s work since 2000 - after watching the brilliantly amazing and awesomely original Memento. You need to watch it if you havent already.

We’ll never get these guys to quit saying “FAIL.” At this point, it’s in their DNA. Like steampunk, Cheetos, and crying while masturbating.

The first War Crimes trial started in Gitmo Bay this week. Who is on trial you ask? A murderer of thousands? A mastermind of the terrorist attacks? Nope. Its for a fucking driver! They are charging a driver that drove Osama around for War Crimes. Hamdan is no doubt not without some sort of guilt, but War Crimes? Poor guy was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is further proof of how little the Americans know of the culture of that part of the world. Growing up in Pakistan, I had not one but two drivers, as well as a lot of “domestic help.” Every middle-class family does. Did our driver know everything about our family? No. Learning about your “enemy” if more than half the battle, and the American’s cant even get that right.

If you thought Bush was bad - learn how much worse McCain could be. That old fart doesnt know anything except killing people, and I bet he would suck at that too.

The Presidential Memorial Commission was successful in their petition to add a measure to the San Francisco ballot in the November election to rename a sewage plant to “George W Bush Sewage Plant.” Ive said it before - California dances to its own beat and San Francisco is literally the best city in the world. Period.
