Huh? F1 bans engine development?

Uncategorized

FIA has just announced a 10-year ban on engine development in Formula One. Teams will have to submit an engine to FIA by March 31, 2008, which they will then have to use through 2017. Speaking about the decision, FIA President Max Mosley said, “There is no need to develop an F1 engine any further. The engine runs at 19,000 rpm, which is far faster than any comparable engine. It sounds good, it’s reliable and amazingly the six partially frozen engines of the current manufacturers are really evenly matched.”

Wouldn’t this slow down innovation? This just doesn’t make sense to me.

Oh, that’s one unfortunate bird. All it’s trying to do is do catch a ball game and the players just have to knock it out. It’s funny when the player asked for forgiveness.

Two of the stranger spam comments I have seen

Uncategorized

I’ve been receiving strange comments lately. Take a look, this one tells me to drink urine:

Tom Anderson says:

Drinking your own urine is healthy. People like Albert Enstein, Gandi etc. would drink their entire morning wiz to get all the minerals, vitamins and a host of good chemicals that are just now being studied. I am a Gerontologist and found the article amusing, however please investigate for yourself the benefits of drinking your own urine if you are healthy enough to drink your own. Check my web sight at (censored)

And this one promises me lesser spam which really is very kind:

Anikrichard says:

hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments ,
I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines. Contact me icq (censored) or write me (censored) , i will give you my site url and you will give me yours if you are interested. thank you

Spam just got more interesting. I had a lot more spam then in the past. I used to have Bad Behavior but I disabled the plugin as I myself got banned in my blog which is just as embarrassing as you getting locked out of your own house. But I really missed Bad Behavior plugin. It just worked so well last time. It cut my spam by 30-50% I think. A much better way than endorsing a spammer’s address.

Akismet has caught 71,196 spam for me since I first installed it.
