Microsoft Telescope sucks and I can prove it

Filed under: Humour — Cardoso @ 3:15 pm

Microsoft Research released today their WorldWide Telescope, they claim it accesses terabytes of astronomical data, seamlessly joining the pictures to form a never before seen educational tool. But hey, come on, Mr Gates, you can do better than that. Where are those so-called terabytes, if I can´t find anything? Let´s check some of the queries your tool was not able to provide an answer:

telescope1

Yes, Commander Adama, you´re on your own. All you have is that crazy blonde biatch to guide your rag-tag fleet, don´t count on Microsoft WorldWide Telescope.

telescope2

No, you can´t go back home, either. And no, Mr Gaeta, we´re not there yet.

telescope3

I think the MS Telescope does not reach the farthest planet from the bright center of the Universe.

telescope4

Oh come on, not even the Capital of the Empire? What are you rebelling against, Microsoft?

telescope5

Another nice planet (well, if you´re some warmonger, anyway) Microsoft chooses to ignore. They never listen to anyone, should change the address to "This island, Redmond".

telescope6

I see. No love for jocks wearing fur speedos. Pretending they don´t exist will not make teh ghey go away, Microsoft.

 

telescope7

Ming will not be pleased.

 

telescope8

To be fair the planet is gone, but the Telescope should be able to show a debris cloud, lots of dirty diapers and Kirstie Alley´s lost hotness…

telescope9

I CAN HAZ THIRD EARTH?

telescope10

OK, that one I do not blame Microsoft. The world is a better place if we pretend Highlander 2 never existed.

British Submarine, redux

Filed under: Humour — Cardoso @ 3:43 pm

A lot of blogs are talking about a british submarine, towed to the assembly yard. But I think it was missing something. OK, now it looks like a classic british submarine.

Lost City of Atlantis found!

Filed under: Humour — Cardoso @ 11:29 pm

Complete with roadmaps. Near Savoonga, 63°41′44.89″N 170°27′46.58″W near Alaska.

OK, may be not Atlantis, but what about a secret underwater government facility, used to plot evil… goverment plans?

What a shame…

Filed under: Humour — Cardoso @ 1:34 pm

Now that´s a terrible, terrible joke. Sick, plain mean, with no respect whatsoever for the human condition, personal feelings, full of prejudice against disabled people, etc, etc.

As you can see, a masterpiece:

Someone asked Paul McCartney:
_Now that you´re divorced, do you think you´ll ever go down on one knee again?
_I prefer to call her Heather.

First Post and FLD - Foreign Language Dyslexia

Filed under: Humour, Personal — Cardoso @ 2:29 am

sotp.jpgFinally! First Post! After years reading Slashdot I managed to be the first, the one and only, numero uno. Oh well, big deal.

OK, now that I bragged about some meaningless merit, my first apologize. I’ve a rare case of FDL - Foreign Language Dyslexia. It’s not a simple “it’s vs its” case, I miss entire words, spell checkers are useless, and it’s something VERY strange.

Only happens when I write, I talk and it’s fine (if you don’t mind my outrageous accent) I read and listen, no problem. But my written English is very strange sometimes.

So, if you find things like “I don’t think I with that” write me and I’ll try to discover what I wanted to say and fill the blanks. If you find a simple typo, write me too. I hate typos. And if you’re a famous doctor interested in studding my condition, I’m all yours (no needles or anal probes, please). I always wanted a diseased with my name.
