Upper division writing course...
Glad I don't have to face the wrath of ENL 102 in INTI
Some course are not meant to take in INTI... (LOL in my perspective)
Well I took this course in CU for this sem...
Card stacking: When we see an medical or food advertisement, they will tell you all great things about it, the side effects parts are usually less emphasized or skipped. Side effects might be the problem that make you wouldn't want to buy it. In China milk scandal, the advertisement shows the milk having high protein but didn't reveal it contains melamine.
The Either/Or fallacy: Your friend might tell you: “I'm not a doctor, but your runny nose and cough tell me you either have flu or cold.” Although it may be a flu or cold, these are not only the option available. It may be allergies or other serious diseases.
The False Analogy: A brother told her sister: “ We have the same score”. “ You got 70 and I got 100, that is not the same”. “Well, 100 is pass and 70 is also pass, why isn't it the same?”. (70 and 100 is pass but they are not the same score.)
The Red Herring: Two men are debating. One says “I can prove that the son is smarter than the father, because Einstein discovered the theory of relativity but his father didn't”, the other says: “Well, this shows that the father is smarter than the son because Einstein discovered the theory of relativity but his son didn't” (Einstein theory of relativity has nothing to do with the smartness of father and son)
Begging the Question/Circular Argument: A: “The fish must be happy!” B: “You are not the fish, so how you know?” A: “You are not me, how you know I don't know?”. Bill: "God must exist." Jill: "How do you know." Bill: "Because the Bible says so." Jill: "Why should I believe the Bible?" Bill: "Because the Bible was written by God."
Hasty Generalizations: All birds can fly, so all flying animals are birds. (Not all birds can fly and not all flying animals are birds.)
A Non-Sequitur: I didn't do well in my test because my father is a mechanic, if my father is a teacher, I will do well in the test. (Your father is a teacher and your test result don't mix)
The Post Hoc Fallacy: There's one village where people sacrifice their animals for the river god so that it will rain. If there's rain, it must be from the river god. (who cause the rain?)
Example of Emotional Fallacies
Argumentum ad Hominem: "You claim that this man is innocent, but you cannot be trusted since you are a criminal as well." attacks directed against the character of a person rather than at the claims s/he makes.
Straw Man Argument: Bill and Jill are arguing about cleaning out their closets: Jill: "We should clean out the closets. They are getting a bit messy." Bill: "Why, we just went through those closets last year. Do we have to clean them out everyday?" Jill: "I never said anything about cleaning them out every day. You just want too keep all your junk forever, which is just ridiculous." (The person doesn't mean it and it's too exaggerating)
Bandwagon argument: Joe: "Bill, I know you think that 1+1=2. But we don't accept that sort of thing in our group. " Bill: "I was just joking. Of course I don't believe that." (Peer pressure that cause Bill to leave his statements)
Plain Folk Appeal/ad Populum: "I read the other day that most people really like the new gun control laws. I was sort of suspicious of them, but I guess if most people like them, then they must be okay." (Popularity pressure)
Status Appeal: I'm not a expert, but I always took MorphiDope 2000 when I need a fast acting, effective and safe painkiller before my filming starts. – An action film actor.
Scare Tactics: You must believe that God exists. After all, if you do not accept the existence of God, then you will face the horrors of hell.
Testimonial and Improper Appeal to Authority: A: "I played the lottery today and I know I am going to win something." B: "What did you do, rig the outcome?" A: "No, silly. I called my Super Psychic Buddy at the 1-900-Mind Power number. After consulting his magic Californian Tarot deck, he told me my lucky numbers." B: "And you believed him?" A: "Certainly, he is a certified Californian Master-Mind Psychic. That is why I believe what he has to say. I mean, like, who else would know what my lucky numbers are?"
A Glittering Generality: The new Mountain Dew gives you the power you need. If you buy one, people will envy your power. They will look up to you and wish they were just like you. You will know the true joy of power. Mountain Dew. (Really?)
LOL... My homework...
Everything is amazing smooth in Colorado...
I'm living at a place almost full with people devoted to Jesus
A lady (christian) told me is because Jesus love me (??)
Well, I'm not having a religion now yet... Not sure...
Hope to finish my degree on 2011 spring! GOGOGO...

Grub Boot Parameters
Hahaha... finally I back LOL
I have school starting tomorrow but i still feeling like blogging
Today: Inspired by my NEC laptop with broken keyboard
I got something from http://grumpymole.blogspot.com
How to edit grub boot parameter (for broken laptop)
A. Changing Boot Parameters Temporarily
When the PC boots up, you will see the Grub countdown, which is set to 3 seconds by default. Press "Esc" to intercept this countdown and go enter a Grub menu. Then
1. Press 'e' to start editing
2. Scroll down to the "kernel..." line. The is the line that tells Grub which kernel to boot with and the parameters to be passed to the kernel when it boots are placed at the end of this line
3. Press 'e' again to edit this line
4. Move to the end of the line. You will see any existing parameters and can add other new parameters to the end
5. Parameters are separated by spaces and are mostly either a single word (e.g. nolapic), or an equation (e.g. acpi=off)
6. Once you have added the parameter to the end of the line, press Enter to accept the editing
7. Then press 'b' to boot using that kernel and those parameters.
the grub parameter for my keyboard...: i8042.nokbd check out more here:
http://redsymbol.net/linux_boot_parameters/
B. Making Boot Parameter Changes Permanent
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
will edit this file in the Ubuntu gedit graphical text editor.
## ## End Default Options ##
title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid 645e8e00-aece-4483-82d7-e3922070015b
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=645e8e00-aece-4483-82d7-e3922070015b ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet
Add your parameters to the end of the line starting with "kernel...". This should be the same line that you would edit in the temporary change scenario above. Save the file and the change will survive a reboot.

Emesene2 alpha
Finally got a replacement for my studio 1435
Now I am using latitude e4300
Have been looking for alternative for wlm in ubuntu. Nothing new found.
Emesene still under development. Hope it will come out soon
Since I have more free time now, I decided to try.
Emesene2 alpha. Alpha means haven't complete yet
I don't like emesene 1.5 beta. The black msn icon I don't like.
Download the version you want to test, the 3 versions above are located at:
1. emesene 1.0.x: http://emesene.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emesene/tags/emesene-1.0/
2. emesene 1.1.x: http://emesene.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emesene/trunk/emesene/
3. emesene 2: http://emesene.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emesene/trunk/mesinyer/
Now that you have the code, cd to the folder and run emesene
1. python Controller.py # to run emesene
2. python emesene.py # to run emesene 2
To download all the changes that where made to the repository.
To make that, cd into the folder and then do: svn up, that will update all the files.
Emesene2 code name mesinyer
My test on Emesene2 alpha, still using it right now.
What I found not ready.
1. Cannot change display picture
2. Cannot web cam (emesene 1.01 also cannot)
3. Some yahoo contacts cannot be added...
Hmm... Me want to go learn Python (hope i got time later)
Emesene is nice but need quicker developement.
Happy testing. Source: http://emesene-msn.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-test-development-versions-of.html

Mounting ISO in Ubuntu
Promised Anbin to post about mounting ISO in Ubuntu
However I am busy with my visa few days ago.
I am not sure about the older version, maybe this trick will work on 8.10
Ubuntu 9.04 mounting of ISO images is supported in the kernel
Just forget about downloading extra packages to mount...
Open your terminal and enter the command
sudo mkdir /media/isoimage
sudo mount /home/username/path/to/file/myfile.iso /media/isoimage/ -t iso9660 -o loop
The first command makes a folder in the /media directory to where your ISO image can be mounted.
The second command then mounts the file to that directory
A shortcut to the directory should then appear on your desktop.
Here's some picture about me doing mounting...
Here's a dummy .iso file
To mount it, just do what you think you should
To unmount it, type umount (not unmount) I kena before...

If you mess with the setting terribly...(how terrible can you go?)
Just restart your PC/Laptop/whatever... (it may not work) it will auto unmount
Happy mounting!

Desktop effect could not be enable
Ever meet this problem?
I just want to try my UXA. Argh
Actually this problem can be solved easily.
Just need to go /home/forestbreeze/.config/compiz
And create "compiz-manager" file
Put this line in "SKIP_CHECKS=yes"
It works. My compiz is running again.
Wonder why some card are blacklisted??
I am using x3100 card. x3100 is weak... maybe I will turn to ATI 3450
Anbin's blog about virtual drive is quite nice
Haha but I am using Ubuntu
Ubuntu can mount their drive with terminal command (without software)
And you can run it without any fuss
Beside that Ubuntu also allow user to create an USB startup disk
Which you could try Ubuntu or install it, using your USB stick
The easy way...

Just do it?
One day, I stumble across this. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/UxaTesting
I have been playing counterstrike (hehe cannot stop playing) and getting fps around 10 to 50
much better than my old 82835/855GM (5 to 40 fps)
10 fps! how to play properly? That why I had to spray...
My current card is
Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a02] (rev 03)
It is on a Core 2 Duo T6400 (2.0 GHz) Dell 1435 laptop
Hmmm... Keep getting pawned by bots...
Then after doing the UXA tweak...
it greatly improves graphics performance in Open GL mode
I am getting around (20 to 60 fps) Still poor but much better.
Besides that, I also found that Jaunty run much smoother.
This is how you do it,
1st go sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2nd then insert this
Don't forget to check
Remember that this not stable and may cause problems
Other people find it causes corruption, leads to crashes, or locks up their xserver and prevents booting.
Happy testing.

Anbin and Ahlong linked
Hey there people,
Please click here to link to Anbin computer blog!
Anbin and I officially linked our blog together to share knowledge
These blogs are dedicated for computer knowledge
One guy could not achieve what two guy can!

Disable recent documents
Great News!
I had accepted Anbin to join my blog and I had joined his blog
Hope this will increase the knowledge we can share.
In Ubuntu there's a tab called recent document
Some people just don't like the recent document being show there
Because we don't want to tell people what we had just look into
So to disable it,
1. rm ~/.recently-used.xbel - This will remove the /home/username/.recently-used.xbel
2. touch ~/.recently-used.xbel - Recreate it
3. sudo chattr +i ~/.recently-used.xbel - This will lock the file permission
Then, clear the Recent Documents list
Now when you check Places/Recent Documents again, it should now be greyed.
If you do it correctly, it will be something like this.
It will be 0 Kb. To undo the permission use sudo chattr -i ~/.recently-used.xbel

XP is full with holes...
Some virus can even get pass some so called anti virus defences
Such as AVG, Avast... you know there's a virus trying to get in your computer
And you can't do anything...
I spend about 50 Mbyte for the anti-virus and its not doing anything
Most of the virus I deal with are brontok virus.
These virus are so irritating because they always try to conceal themselves
You will notice your folder option or hidden folder always disappear...
These virus are superhidden, you need to activate the superhidden to see them
...but you can't do it
There's always a second option. Use gpedit.msc
Where to find it - in your system32/gpedit.msc
What it can do for you
1. Alter Administrative templates
2. Running scripts or programs at startup/shutdown or user logon/logoff
This is far simple than running regedit. Hehe.
Group Policy editor
Administrative templates
Shutdown and Startup script
*one more way to escape virus problem - Don't even on your computer

Trash can bug
From 8.10 to 9.04 another long 6 month
From 2.76 to 2.75 another long disappointing 4 month
Luck had decided most of my life
As long I remember it had been twice I escaped (or maybe not?)
Well, talk about some serious stuff now...
There's a very strange phenomenon (weird) in Ubuntu 9.04
I thought it may be a mirage but...
When I deleted stuff from my desktop, the file disappeared... WOW
but my disk space still record about the file
And when I look in my trash can... THERE'S NOTHING!
woooooooooo GHOST FILE
Actually is just a small flaw in Ubuntu.
Solution:
1. Go /home/username/.local/share/trash. All your file is in the trash...
2. Delete it
3. Create a file at /home/username/.trash (if it's not there)
4. Create a shortcut of the .trash and put it at /home/username/.local/share/.
5. Try deleting your file now. It should went it your trash can.
No la not ghost file... It's just some mistake?
Finally, there's trash in my bin!! (so excited)
Ubuntu 9.04...What will Koala be?

How to get CS:CZ to work on ubuntu
Counter Strike is one nice FPS.
After I stayed with Ubuntu, i have rarely thinking about playing games
But what is life without games... (spending too much on CC)
To get Condition Zero working...
1st Install the latest wine and cs:cz
2nd Find motd.txt in czero and cstrike. Rename to oldmotd.txt. (to allow single player game)
3rd Delete the content of motd_temp.html and make it as read only. (to allow multiplayer game)
*Not all cs:cz having this problem. This cz is add on from half life.
And tada... type in your terminal
wine (your hl.exe location) -game czero (depends) -novid
And you can play now...
Yes! I searched the way for hours...

Imaginary cow (a true experience)
This story is absolutely strange... however is not nothing at all
Long long time ago at India...
A father had 4 cows...
And when the father dies, he took one of the cow also (old school fairy tales...)
Ok la, one cow died. So now left 3 cows
But in the will which the father made before he died:
One quarter of the herd for each son
So now is it impossible to divide the cow evenly...
And Don't even thinking of cutting the cow because
Cow is a sacred animal in India...
The 3 sons could not think of a solution...
They discuss for whole day long... but still they couldn't find a fair solution
...
...
...
Still thinking...
Haiya no need to think so much
Then appear a very very handsome prince (cehhh...)
The handsomeness had nothing to do with the story line anyway
So this prince solve it easily.. while the 3 sons break their head whole day
And meet no solution...
The solution:
The prince lend one of his cow to the 3 sons.
So now there is 4 cows again
And so the son each get 1 cow each
the extra cow returned to the prince
Still wondering how it can happen? The cow is an imaginary cow...
