Rambo Amadeus - Laganeze (rijeci pjesama, lyrics)
Lokacija: Pametne misli   |   Autor: cacan @ 10:50   |  

Eh… jedna od onih za putovanje u trascedentni smiraj…

Laganeze

Mala, koja si ti… jesi li ti odavde…
Aaaa strankinja znaci…
English… english…
Hungari, Hungari…
Tako mlada a vec Madjarica…
Ma znam ja, bio sam ja u Budimpestu prosle godine…
Ha Boze moj, svi smo mi masni…
Sto si ti ljuta, sto si nervozna tako a…
Pa sto si dolazila na Škver onda, kad se ljutis…
Pa sto cu ti ja kuco moja…
Benzina je nestalo.. a moram sad pomalo…

Eto vidis… kazem ti ja… laganeze

    Kako saznati tko je spammer?!
    Lokacija: Mozdano mlijeko   |   Autor: cacan @ 0:45   |  

    …odnosno tko prodaje podatke spammerima?

    Dobra poznata i korisna metodu za auto-labeliranje i sortiranje mailova u GMailu (i drugim mail serverima/servisima) moze se iskoristiti za identificiranje spam-friendly servisa. Prilikom registracije na neki servis dovoljno je dodati “+imeservisa” u e-mail adresu. Em se mogu raditi precizniji i bolji ruleovi za auto-labeliranje, em se na taj nacin mogu skontati servisi koji podatke (pro)daju spammerima.

    Dakle, prilikom registracije na neki servis kao e-mail adresu umjesto ime.prezime@gmail.com navesti ime.prezime+imeservisa@gmail.com. Simple as that… poruke poslane na obje mail adrese doci ce u isti mailbox.

    Men vs. Women
    Lokacija: Zene :: Zanimljivi linkovi   |   Autor: cacan @ 9:30   |  

    Men vs. Women
    Some subtle (and some not so subtle) differences

    Handwriting:

    Men: To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They just chicken-scratch.

    Women: Women use scented, colored stationery and they dot the “i” with circles or hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops in the “b” and “g". It is a pain to read a note from a woman. Even when she’s dumping you, she will put a smiley face at the end of the note.

    Groceries:

    Women: A woman makes a list of things she needs, then goes out to the store and buys those things.

    Men: A man waits till the only items left in his fridge are half a lime and a beer. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett’s car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the express lane.

    Relationships:

    Women: When a relationship ends, a woman will cry and pour her heart out to her girlfriends, and she will write a poem titled “All Men Are Idiots". Then she will get on with her life.

    Men: A man has a little more trouble letting go. Six months after the break-up, at 3:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, he will call and say, “I just wanted to let you know you ruined my life, and I’ll never forgive you, and I hate you, and you’re a total floozy. But I want you to know that there’s always a chance for us.” This is known as the “I Hate You / I Love You” drunken phone call, that 99% of all men have made at least once. There are community colleges that offer courses to help men get over this need.

    Sex:

    Women: They prefer 30-40 minutes of foreplay.

    Men: They prefer 30-40 seconds of foreplay. Men consider driving back to her place part of the foreplay.

    Maturity:

    Women: They mature much faster than men. Most 17-year old females can function as adults.

    Men: Most 17-year old males are still trading baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high school romances rarely work out.

    Magazines:

    Men: Men’s magazines often feature pictures of naked women. Men are turned on at the sight of a naked woman’s body.

    Women: Women’s magazines also feature pictures of naked women. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is lumpy and hairy and should not be seen by the light of day. Most naked men elicit laughter from women.

    Bathrooms:

    Men: A man has six items in his bathroom – a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn.

    Women: The average number of items in the typical woman’s bathroom is 437. A man cannot identify most of these items.

    Shoes:

    Women: When preparing for work, a woman will put on a wool suit, then slip on Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in a plastic bag from Saks. When a woman gets to work, she will put on her dress shoes. Five minutes later, she will kick them off because her feet are under the desk.

    Men: A man will wear the same pair of shoes all day. Let’s not talk about how many days he’ll wear the same socks.

    Cats:

    Women: Women love cats.

    Men: Men say they love cats, but when women aren’t looking, men kick cats.

    Children:

    Women: A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best friends and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams.

    Men: A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

    Dressing Up:

    Women: A woman will dress up to: go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail.

    Men: A man will dress up for: weddings, funerals.

    Laundry:

    Women: Women do laundry every couple of days.

    Men: A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants (the ones that were hip about eight years ago) before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the Laundromat. Men always expect to meet beautiful women at the Laundromat. This is a myth perpetuated by reruns of old episodes of “Love American Style.”

    Eating Out:

    Men: When the check comes, each man will each throw in $20 bills, even though it’s only for $22.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back.

    Women: When the girls get their check, out come the pocket calculators.

    Mirrors:

    Men: Men are vain and will check themselves out in a mirror.

    Women: They are ridiculous; they will check out their reflections in any shiny surface: mirrors, spoons, store windows, bald guys’ heads.

    Menopause:

    Women: When a woman reaches menopause, she goes through a variety of complicated emotional, psychological, and biological changes. The nature and degree of these changes varies with the individual.

    Men: Menopause in a man provokes a uniform reaction - he buys aviator glasses, a snazzy French cap and leather driving gloves, and goes shopping for a Porsche.

    The Phone:

    Men: Men see the telephone as a communication tool. They use the telephone to send short messages to other people.

    Women: A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours.

    Richard Gere:

    Women: Women like Richard Gere because he is sexy in a dangerous way.

    Men: Men hate Richard Gere because he reminds them of that slick guy who works at the health club and dates only married women.

    Madonna:

    Same as above, but reversed. Same reason.

    Toys:

    Women: Little girls love to play with toys. Then when they reach the age of 11 or 12, they lose interest.

    Men: Men never grow out of their toy obsession. As they get older, their toys simply become more expensive, silly and impractical. Examples of men’s toys: little miniature TVs. Car phones. Complicated juicers and blenders. Graphic equalizers. Small robots that serve cocktails on command. Video games. Anything that blinks, beeps, and requires at least 6 “D” batteries to operate.

    Cameras:

    Men: Men take photography very seriously. They’ll shell out $4000 for state of the art equipment, and build dark rooms and take photography classes.

    Women: Women purchase Kodak Instamatics. Of course, women always end up taking better pictures.

    Locker Rooms:

    Men: In the locker room men talk about three things: money, football, and women. They exaggerate about money, they don’t know football nearly as well as they think they do, and they fabricate stories about women.

    Women: They talk about one thing in the locker room - sex. And not in abstract terms, either. They are extremely graphic and technical, and they never lie.

    Movies:

    Women: Every actress in the history of movies has had to do a nude scene. This is because every movie in the history of movies has been produced by a man.

    Men: The only actor who has ever appeared nude in the movies is Richard Gere. This is another reason why men hate him.

    Jewelry:

    Women: Women look nice when they wear jewelry.

    Men: A man can get away with wearing one ring and that’s it. Any more than that and he will look like a lounge singer named Vic.

    Conversation:

    Men: Men need a good disagreement to get talking. For instance, “Wow, great movie.” or “What are you, nuts? No REAL cop would have an Uzi that size.”

    Women: Women, not having this problem, try to initiate conversations with men by saying something agreeable: “That garden by the roadside looks lovely.” “Mm hmm.” Pause. “That was a good restaurant last night, wasn’t it?” “Yeah.” Pause. And so on.

    Leg Warmers:

    Women: Leg warmers are sexy. A woman, even if she’s walking the dog or doing the dishes, is allowed to wear leg warmers. She can wear them any time she wants.

    Men: A man can only wear leg warmers if he is auditioning for the “Gimme the Ball” number in “A Chorus Line.”

    Friends:

    Women: Women on a girls’ night out talk the whole time.

    Men: Men on a boy’s night out say about twenty words all night, most of which are “Pass the Doritos” or “got any more beer?”

    Restrooms:

    Women: Women use restrooms as social lounges. Women who’ve never met will leave a restroom giggling together like old friends. Women also go to the restroom in packs, at least two women at a time excuse themselves to use the restroom.

    Men: Men use restrooms for purely biological reasons. Men in a restrooms will never speak a word to each other. And never in the history of the world has a man excused himself from a restaurant table by saying, “Hey, Tom, I was just about to take a leak. Do you want to join me?”

    E - dodaci hrani (aditivi), food additives e-numbers
    Lokacija: Medicina :: SciTech   |   Autor: cacan @ 14:09   |  

    Malo o dodacima hrani… lijepo je imati jedan ovakav nacionalni prirucnik pri ruci (pri cemu drugom bi prirucnik i mogao biti?! ;-))… Dakle, Udruga za demokratsko drustvo je izdala Savjetovaliste o e-brojevima (dodacima hrani). Popis s iscrpnim objasnjenjima za svaki od dodataka hrani (vise informacija o pojedinom e-broju se dobiva klikom na strlicu ispred broja - ovo je jedan od usability minusa na siteu) je napravljen dosta kvalitetno, za svaki od obradjenih dodataka se navode moguce nuspojave, upotreba, dozvoljene kolicine.

    Pogledati i UK Food Guide i E-number (Wikipedia)

    Uglavnom… prije nego pocnete jesti kojekakve proizvode iz sarenih vrecica koje vriste (pojedi me, pojedi me), svakako procitajte koji drlog se sve nalazi u toj vrecici. Isto vrijedi i za, kod mnogih, obozavanu Coca Colu (i slicna tekuca smeca i splacine) - pice koje ima vise svojstava otrova, nego prehrambenog artikla.

    Why IT Sucks
    Lokacija: Posao :: Zanimljivi linkovi   |   Autor: cacan @ 9:42   |  

    Eh, covjek je odlicno secirao problem… ovakav clanak moze napisati samo netko tko ima podosta iskustva u IT biznisu i netko tko je radio u vise razlicitih (po tipu i opsegu) okruzenja…

    Bill Eisenhauer : Why IT Sucks

    Just to be clear, IT in this context means being in an IT department, not being in the IT industry.

    I’ve spent a combined five years in IT departments of two companies — one a large company another a small company. In each case, the experience lacked job satisfaction and only marginally advanced my career. If you find yourself faced with a job opportunity in an IT department, consider the following to be likely experiences:

  • You will be frustrated because technology is not the core business. And unfortunately for you, this means that you aren’t likely to be the rockstar of your company. You are an enabler of minimal importance in a cost center.
  • You will deal with technology that is likely to be obsolete or on the verge of obsolescence. In IT, it is not important to those you serve what the technology is, rather its whether the solution provides the desired value.
  • You will integrate with old technologies or products that have challenging integration scenarios. As you are the tail on the dog, no one will ask you your opinion for the products that are most likely to integrate well with your technology stack. Rather, you will be brought in after such products have been selected.
  • You may find that the talent around you is watered down. The trend is to cut costs which inevitably leads to outsourcing. In my experience, outsourcing provides less talented, less instinctive colleagues. These will be your teammates.
  • You may find that cost cuts means there is little investment in the “factory” that you work in. Hardware and software that could make your life easier are not accessible due to budget challenges. Therefore, the factory eventually resembles an old car plant with declining efficiency.
  • Your managers may care only about your utilization and your costs. Innovation is secondary to these factors, so you may have trouble championing new ideas.
  • You may find in bigger companies that consensus-building consumes most of your time. Be ready for double-digit emails per day with people copying you on details that are irrelevant to your job.
  • You may find that the company has organically grown in layers causing you to fight through multiple layers just to get simple tasks done. As such, simple tasks are hard tasks and hard tasks are impossible. If you think that something as simple as opening a firewall port can’t take weeks, think again.
  • You may find that since the company has cut costs to the bone that you end up wearing more hats than you feel qualified to wear. You will be best prepared to succeed if you can write your own requirements, write code, write markup, develop your own styles, be your own DBA, be your own system administrator, and do your own testing. You will most likely have to build your own infrastructure enablements because those would be too costly to be purchased for you.
  • You may never understand the business decisions made by those who ultimately create your projects. You may question whether they know how to scorecard, perform cost-benefit analysis, or whether they even know their business. But in the end, you will have no choice but to work on their projects.
  • You may find that your natural curiosity for new technologies or business strategies is not appreciated or valued. Old school managers may even make fun of you for having your nose in a book reading about those “new-fangled” technologies. Be prepared to have uninspired leadership.
  • You may find that your colleagues eventually have become zombies. They show up every day and walk the halls, but they seem to be in an unproductive, unchanging funk. And worse, you may recognize yourself making the same transformation.

    Customer value and the network effect
    Lokacija: Mozdano mlijeko :: Posao :: Zanimljivi linkovi   |   Autor: cacan @ 13:26   |  

    Clanak o odlicnom radu koji govori o tome da i non-buying useri imaju svoju vrijednost… zapravo, njihova vrijednost moze biti i veca od buying usera… zanimljivo…

    Rad se nalazi ovdje

    What’s the value of a customer who doesn’t buy anything? If you’re running a hot dog stand, the answer is probably “zero.” But if you’re running a two-sided market - a market, like eBay or Monster.com or AdWords or YouTube or Digg or even Second Life, that needs to attract both buyers and sellers (or content generators and content consumers) - the answer may be “a lot.” EBay, for instance, earns most of its money from its sellers, who pay the company a fee whenever they sell something through the auction site. The buyers don’t have to pay when they make their purchases. But while eBay receives no direct revenue from the buyers, the buyers nevertheless represent a crucial set of customers for the company - without buyers, there’d be no sellers and hence no business.

    Silica aerogel - silikatni aerogel - izolator buducnosti

    Aerogel - izolator buducnosti… Wiredov clanak o aerogelu

    Wikipedia - Aerogel

    A 2.5 kg brick is supported by a piece of aerogel weighing only 2.38 grams.
    Aerogel is a low-density solid-state material derived from gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with gas. The result is an extremely low density solid with several remarkable properties, most notably its effectiveness as an insulator. It is nicknamed frozen smoke, solid smoke or blue smoke due to its semi-transparent nature and the way light scatters in the material; however, it feels like extruded polystyrene to the touch.

    Osim u upotrebi kao odlicni toplinski i zvucni izolatori, moci ce posluziti i kao odlicna skladista energije

    Aerogels are solid substances similar to gels but where the internal liquid is replaced with air. Aerogels rank among the world’s lowest density solids. They are very porous and light, and have remarkably high internal surface area. Their microstructure and physical properties can be manipulated at the nanometer scale by selection of raw material and modification of manufacturing conditions. Aerogel products can be engineered to exhibit desired thermal, acoustic, mechanical and/or chemical properties. Aerogel materials can be produced as monoliths, thin-films, powders, or micro-spheres to respond to given application requirements.

    The extremely high electrochemical surface area of ACI’s ENERGel™ carbon aerogel enables very high rates of charge and discharge. Capacitances of more than 104 F/g and energy densities of more than 325 kJ/kg have been demonstrated with carbon aerogels ultracapacitors. Additionally, power densities of up to 20 kW/kg have been achieved. This is orders of magnitude higher than what conventional capacitors offer. ACI believes that its ENERGel™ carbon aerogel is a superior option for applications such as specialized electrodes.

    Slika i tekst najbolje opisuju svojstva toplinske izolacije silikatnog aerogela… “…silica aerogel can protect the human hand from the heat of a blowtorch at point blank range….

    Godwin’s Law
    Lokacija: Mozdano mlijeko :: Zanimljivi linkovi   |   Autor: cacan @ 8:25   |  

    Citajuci clanak o Bushu na Crooked Timberu, naletih na zanimljivu sintagmu s kojom se nebrojeno puta susretah u ovih XY godina e-komunikacije.

    Godwin’s Law

    Godwin’s Law (also Godwin’s Rule of Nazi Analogies) is a mainstay of Internet culture, an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. It is particularly concerned with logical fallacies such as reductio ad Hitlerum, wherein an idea is unduly dismissed or rejected on ground of it being associated with persons generally considered “evil".

    The law states:

    Godwin’s Law
    As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

    Godwin’s Law does not dispute whether, in a particular instance, a reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be apt. It is precisely because such a reference or comparison may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin argues in his book, Cyber Rights: Defending Free Speech in the Digital Age, that hyperbolic overuse of the Hitler/Nazi comparison should be avoided, as it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.

    Ovo je jedna glupa misao ili misao o gluposti
    Lokacija: Mozdano mlijeko :: Pametne misli   |   Autor: cacan @ 13:03   |  

    Iako se nalazi u kategoriji pametnih misli, ovo je jedna izuzetno frustrirajuca misao, zapravo misao na jednu frustrirajucu ljudsku glupost.

    Racunala ti mogu dati samo podatak koji si u njih unio.

    Prvi put sam to cuo od starog, jos dok sam bio klinac i cimao ga da mi kupi noviji stroj (prvi PC). Stari je mator i zbog toga mu se oprasta, ali takvo razmisljanje se ne moze oprostiti ljudima koji su mladje dobi, rade za racunalima, ne razlikuju file od direktorija i na takvoj razini mentalnog sklopa su da ne razumiju zasto je za neku stvar bolje imati aplikaciju od komada papira ili obicnog sheeta u Excelu.

    Zaista se trudim na neke stvari gledati pozitivno, ali ljudska glupost me tako zna dotuci da bih cvilio od muke. Pogotovo ona iz moje okoline.

    Citajuci o autoru clanka Why I Will Never Have A Girlfriend [do kojeg dodjoh preko foruma portala Osijek031.com] pronadjoh informaciju gdje je sve clanak objavljen. Jedno od mjesta objave je i casopis The Annals of Improbable Research (AIR) . Jako, jako, jako zanimljiv site… njam, njam…

    Our goal is to make people laugh, then make them think.
    We also hope to spur people’s curiosity about science, and to raise the question: How do you decide what’s important and what’s not, and what’s real and what’s not – in science and everywhere else?
    AIR may be the only science magazine that’s read by scientists, doctors, and engineers – and by their families and friends. Teachers love to use AIR articles as a way to get kids (and their parents) curious about science.

    How a company policy begins - five monkeys - pet majmuna - korporativna pravila ponasanja
    Lokacija: Mozdano mlijeko :: Pametne misli   |   Autor: cacan @ 23:14   |  

    Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result; all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water.

    Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

    Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they are not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

    After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey every again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.

    Why not?

    Because as far as they know that’s the way it’s always been done around here.
