When gov'ments get together, or Dumb and Dumber..

I had a video conference with Germany, the Taiwan telco and Deutche Bank are working with other countries to provide secure e-commerce.  Of course, the only person in the entire meeting who knew anything technical was me.

In the middle of his presentation, the guy said he'd protect the private key with a PIN code.  4,6,or 8 digits they are not sure.  So their government issued card with all your personal data, valid digital signature etc.. will be protected by 9999 digits.  I told him, I can break 2^24 in a few hours, and if it's only digits, I can do it in a few minutes.  He replied the dumbest reply I have ever heard..  "Well, we currently all use a 4 digit pin code and the banks have not fallen yet.."  Errr..  The ATM gives me 3 tries and then eats my card; where as at home, I can crack at the card all I want, and running from 0000 to 9999 will take my computer a fraction of a second.  Even 8 digits is a joke.  20 digits is a joke.  Hell, 50 digits is a joke if they are all between 0 and 9.

So if you think governments are stupid, you should see what happens when governments get together.  Dumb, meet Dumber..  and the scary thing is, they are going to make it MANDITORY.. 

Big brother is watching..

The absolute lack of logic has facinated me..

So I'm talking to an architect, and I tell him I want like a long counter, so I can put small appliances like a blender on the counter.  So naturally, I'll need a plug.  The guy then says, "Well, we'll put the plug down low, then drill a hole in the counter, and extend it up."

Keep in mind, the house is not built yet...

So I told him, "No, why don't you just put the plug at the correct height?"

He replied, "You mean have the plug high??"

AND??!?!!!

He said it just wasn't done in Taiwan.. 

AND???!!!?

He then admitted that it made much more sense, and that drilling a hole in the counter so you can pull up an extention cord was an ugly solution, but that was the solution that they had always used..

ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKIN' CONCEPT OF IMPROVEMENT OR LOGIC.  They don't even bother to think about logic or practicality.

I said I wanted dual switches for the Living Room and Kitchen lights, (XOR switch, for you Binary nerds) and he asked why.  So I can walk out of the room and STILL turn off the lights without going to the other corner, turning off the lights, and then attempting to cross a completely dark room without smashing my toe into something!!  The logic just just just defies me..

Oh ooops..  I forgot, cockroaches only survive, they don't evolve and progress..  In theory they should, but in actuality, nobody's seen it yet..

Cockroachness (Burning of paper)

So a few million Taiwanese people today woke up and felt "Hmm.. Taiwan air is too clean, let me go ahead and burn up about 40 lbs of paper.."  and so they did.  My house smells like $hit now because why?  Of course you know the answer.. the cockroaches are burning paper everywhere..

You see, what they will say is "I've read your blog, if you are so unhappy here, then leave."  You will never read someone posting "You are right, we need to improve."  Because see, cockroaches don't improve, they ruin a place, and then move on.  They don't try to improve their habitat.  They dirty it up, and then when it's too dirty, they leave, and leave their headaches to others.  That's how cockroaches, viruses, and Taiwanese people operate.  What, you think someone is going to pick up your beetlenut pulp, or cigarette butts?  No?  Then why are you throwing it everywhere you jackass?  Yeah, I know why, because you are an effin' cockroach.



Why Taiwanese are cockroaches: (a small part in a long series)

Now many of you (with profanity and explitives) have asked, how is it that I'm Taiwanese, currently living in Taiwan, and I can use such a broad brushstroke and catagorize all Taiwanese as cockroaches?  Well, very good question.

First, if you are Taiwanese and feel that you are not a cockroach, then don't get your underwear all wrinkled up, you are probably the exception and definitely not the rule.

But let me give you examples of why Taiwanese are cockroaches.

Pick up a Taiwanese magazine.  Flip through it, chances are, you will find about 12365352626575335 English mistakes in it.  How much would it have cost, to hire some Native English speaker to be an editor?  Forget that, you can go to the local college, wave $500NT at some American, and ask him/her to edit it for you.  Forget even doing that, you can click on "Spell Check" in Microsoft Word, and have it check the spelling.  But do Taiwanese PUBLISHERS do that??  Of course not.. don't be silly, to do so would be diligence and striving for excellence on their part; something they don't do, otherwise I wouldn't be complaining about it.  If you are posting to a blog, and you have spelling mistakes, gramatical mistakes, mistakes in general, hey, not big deal.  But if you are PUBLISHING A MAGAZINE, then don't you think you should be a little bit diligent?  Of course, the Taiwanese readers will not complain "What, you think you can do better?" and of course, I will reply, "Why yes, I do know how to hit [spell check] in Word."  Do they feel even a little bit shameful?  Absolutely not.  Why?  Because they are cockroaches.

"To Run Business"  What the hell does that mean???  Nobody knows, but it's on the door of 50% of the stores in Taiwan.  Why?  Cockroachness...  Absolutely zero desire to strive for excellence..

We were driving one day, and there was an arrow pointing to the street we wanted.  But guess what?  The arrow pointed left AFTER THE FACT.  The arrow was BEHIND the street we wanted.  Diligence?  Of course not.  Cockroachness?  Yes.

Go to Wen Hwa.  Take a look.  No effin' street names!!  Why?  Cockroachness, that's why.

Get on the MRT, and take a look, some signs say "Kuting" some say "Guting".  Why? Cockroachness..

I can go on for hours..  If you'd like, I can provide pictures... 

Loud kids on the MRT who run around like it's the playground?  That's just cockroaches having baby cockroaches..  That's all.

Should I continue???  Or just post pics as proof?  Red spots on the floor, on the sidewalk?  Beetlenut juice.  Why?  Because the Taiwanese cockroaches feel, "Wow, look at the clean floor, let me spit some juice that resembles blood on it.."

Smokers Part 2...

So let me get this straight..

In case of a fire, don't use the elevators, use the stairs..

That would be fine, except there are a bunch of SMOKERS SITTING IN THE STAIRWELLS SMOKING. 

So am I to understand, the very place that is suppose to be the sanctuary for people in case of a fire, is the place that smokers choose to smoke?  When asked why, "Oh, because there are no fire alarms and smoke detectors there.."  Well then, maybe there should be.  How are you suppose to know when you walk to another level, that that level might be on fire??  Well, you don't, and you can't tell, because if you asked yourself "Do I smell smoke?" Well, of course you do, because the idiots are smoking in the stairwells!! 

Arson, littering, and of course, the endangerment of everybody by smoking in the escape route..

I love smokers, they keep proving that human stupidity is infinite..

Smokers lack common sense to the point of rediculousness..

This is your brain, this is your brain on cigarettes, any questions?

Smokers.. Dumbasses...
