One of the most amusing typos of the season turned up for awhile overnight in a major Associated Press dispatch. Some in the liberal blogosphere, who have often criticized Sen. Joe Lieberman -- the Democrat turned Independent who has endorsed John McCain -- found it all too apt.

FOD WIRE: Pedobear Tells Olympic Committee He Thought Gymnasts Were 16

FOD WIRE: Pedobear Tells Olympic Committee He Thought Gymnasts Were 16

Beijing, China- Following the media row over allegedly underage gymnasts on the Chinese Olympic team, Web sensation Pedobear has emerged from the dark corners of the internet to take center stage in the unfolding controversy.

The pedophilic bear has been detained by Beijing Police and charged with an Attempted Lewd Act With a Child after arranging a private meeting with gymnasts He Kexin, Jiang Yuyuan, Yang Yilin during last week's opening ceremonies.

"The girls told me they were 16," said Pedobear from jail. "I have done nothing wrong. I was convinced they met the age of consent according to Chinese law."

According to the International Olympic Committee, Pedobear began an online correspondence with the gymnasts in June, at which time he claims he was misled about their age. "I'm virtual friends with all of the Chinese gymnasts on MySpace, where they are listed as 16 years old. Before making the trip to Beijing, I asked each of them to show me two forms of identification. I even sent them webcams so they could prove their age."

The ursine meme claimed he travelled to Beijing to help the gymnasts with their "homework." The IOC confiscated three McDonald's Happy Meals and a roll of duct tape from Pedobear's car.

When contacted, Pedobear's 14-year-old public relations manager wished to remain anonymous.

My friend eating a Moth Cocoon

So we went clubbing and found this dude dressed as chick

noreply@blogger.com (SMP Zombie) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:17:00 +0000

I mean, it was painfully obvious that it's a guy. Look at the biceps and the leg muscles. Check out the face. It's a dude. I must admit it was an interesting night. First we ran into "fat penis girl" who was this fat chick with a big inflatable penis. It was her bachelorette party and she was waving at me to go dance with her. Nope. Ain't happening.

Then, my friend tells me he is willing to pay for me to dance with "that" girl over there, the one in the white dress. Well, it wasn't a girl.

I was even kind enough to take a video of her/him/it.

Check it out... you might want to turn your sound down a bit, since the music is a bit loud. Sorry, I took this video with a photo camera, so sound quality sucks.

How to pimp your Ubuntu desktop

noreply@blogger.com (SMP Zombie) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:22:00 +0000

It's rather easy, actually. While not activated by default, Compiz is available for download in your Applications-->Add/Remove. Simply select "All" and "Show all available applications" just in case and type in "compiz" for the search. Select the 3 components for Compiz show in this screenshot:

Once the 3 components are installed, you can go to System-->Preferences and then select"Advanced Desktop Effects Settings":

You can get really cool desktop effects like the desktop cube, wobbly windows (this makes your windows like jello), water ripple effects and other awesome effects.

You should note, though, that you need some sort of graphics acceleration card with the proper drivers installed for Ubuntu. This option is normally presented to you by clicking on the hardware icon on your toolbar at the top right (next to your name) and enabling your driver for your video card.

Compiz also allows you to install very awesome and advanced with themes via Emerald themer.

Windows Vista Aero versus Ubuntu Linux Beryl

Going from Windows Vista to Ubuntu Linux

noreply@blogger.com (SMP Zombie) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:19:00 +0000

I finally made the plunge; I crossed the border; I jumped the fence. Whatever metaphor you want to use, it's a big step. It's much like being a lifelong Democrat or Republican and because you are frustrated with your party, you want to see what the other side is like, so you go ahead and change parties.

I went from a Windows Vista SP1 operating system to Ubuntu Linux. I carefully backed up all my files, saved games, emails, videos -- anything that was of worth on my Vista installation. I had already downloaded the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 8.04 and burned it on a DVD.

Before rebooting my machine, I put the DVD in and said my final farewells to Windows Vista. To my surprise, the auto-launcher went off and Ubuntu presented me with installation options -- which I've never seen on any other Linux distribution. One option was to keep your existing Windows installation but install Ubuntu like any other application; in other words, install a virtual machine of Ubuntu that is bootable. Another option is that you can automatically reboot and it'll launch the DVD on boot.

Wait, you mean I can try Ubuntu without wiping my Windows installation? Cool! I'll try that first. I gave Ubuntu 30 gigs of my hard drive to install itself as a bootable virtual machine and before you know it, it was finished installing. It wasn't like the 800 years it takes for Vista to install, this took like 10 minutes tops.

I rebooted my machine and there it was... I was asked if I would like to boot Windows Vista or Ubuntu. I of course chose Ubuntu. I was very surprised that Ubuntu hardly took any time at all to finish loading up when I was presented with Gnome's login screen. Wham-bam, thank you ma'am and Ubuntu was finished loading.

Ubuntu immediately recognized my printer and that I had a ATI Radeon video card installed and prompted me to download and install the drivers. OK! It was quick and gave me some warnings about proprietary drivers. No big deal, since the whole idea behind Linux is free and open source -- freedom!

Ubuntu by default comes with the GNOME desktop interface. It's simple and not very flashy, but believe me, you can definitely pimp it out once you get your basic needs in order!

Speaking of basic needs, GNOME on Ubuntu has Mozilla Firefox 3.0 installed for the default web browser, OpenOffice.org for your office suite of speadsheats and word processors, Pidgin for instant messaging, and even a Nero-like CD/DVD burner called Brasero Disc Burning and a ton of simple Windows card games and such.

Need more? I clicked on Applications-->Add/Remove. This is similar to how Add/Remove Applications worked under Windows XP, except the big difference is, Ubuntu provides you with a default repository of HUNDREDS of games and applications that are all FREE. You simply need to check it and it'll download it for you, install it, AND keep it mind for updates which it'll kindly download and install for you. WOW. Windows never ever did that. The closest it got to doing that was only for Microsoft software... it didn't care about third-party stuff.

To top it off, Ubuntu uses an application called Wine to emulate the Windows kernel, allowing you to install and run at least 90% of Windows applications and games too!

OK. That did it. Wine definitely sealed the deal. Good-bye Vista, you RAM-sucking overbloated fiend! I wiped my entire system and installed Ubuntu over my previous Windows Vista installation. Ubuntu was even faster than the virtual machine led me to believe (one of the draw backs of virtual machines).

Wow. Just wow.

Later: More on Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and pimping your Linux desktop...

Sometimes I wonder about Google Adsense

Paris Hilton's mom takes offense at McCain's humor

The Associated Press: Paris Hilton's mom takes offense at McCain's humor

Lawl! Funny stuff, Mrs. Hilton. Regardless what I think about McCain or Obama, I find it absolutely hilarious that you consider John McCain's ad a waste of contributor money. Speaking of a total waste, let's talk about your daughters -- specifically, Paris.

What has she contributed to humanity other than facepalms and lollerskates? In fact, Mrs. Hilton... what the hell have you contributed to humanity other than your vagina and opulent spending? Wow, I wonder where your daughter gets it from.

I thought McCain's ad was pretty damn funny, to be honest. He ripped your daughter and and the other waste of space and air, Brittney Spears. Paris and Brittney are total trainwrecks, so, Mrs. Hilton, I don't think you have a whole lot of room to talk. And McCain should concentrate more on "...millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs"? Well I'll be... I'm sorry, what have you done to help ease the problem with homes and jobs?

Oh yeah, I forgot...
