Gaki no Tsukai, un jeu de gage muet japonais à mourir de rire

Voici un jeu japonais auquel j’adorerais jouer un jour ! Chaque joueur choisit une carte et celui qui tire la carte marquée écope d’un gage…

Le tout se passe dans une bibliothèque où le silence est de rigueur, ce qui a pour effet de renforcer les fous-rires !

La vidéo n’est pas complète – j’en avais une version de 12 minutes mais en bien moins bonne qualité.

Le jeu, Gaki no Tsukai, se passe à Tokyo et le grand costaud n’est autre qu’Ernesto Hoost, ancien champion de boxe.

An Apache tale : Two Wolves

One evening an old Apache told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

“One is Evil – It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

“The other is the Spirit – It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

Migration de serveur : Kimsufi 250G photo

Migration de serveur : Kimsufi 250G

Aujourd’hui, je vous donne les quelques news techniques du site.

Serveur Kimsufi 500G

Cela fait presque un an que SkyMinds.Net tourne sur un serveur dédié hébergé chez OVH. Le serveur était un Kimsufi avec 500 Go de disque dur.

Quelques jours seulement après le transfert du site, OVH annonce le Kimsufi avec 250 Go mais… à moitié prix ! Et on ne peut rendre un serveur Kimsufi pour un autre, il s’agit de deux achats séparés.

Au niveau des performances, je dirai que mon Kimsufi 500G n’était pas terrible : il était constamment surchargé et j’avais l’impression de devoir relancer les services régulièrement pour assurer la disponibilité du service. Pas cool du tout.

La petite différence entre Julian Assange (Wikileaks) et Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook)

Entendu sur Saturday Night Live (SNL), à méditer :

“What are the differences between Mark Zuckerberg and me ?

I give private information on corporations to you for free and I’m a villain.

Zuckerberg gives your private information to corporations for money and he’s Man of the Year.”

Bill Hader (impersonating Julian Assange) on SNL

Happy Birthday Matt : 30

nombre 30

Il fallait bien que ça arrive un jour : je viens de quitter la deuxième décennie pour entamer la troisième !

Bon, pour l’instant cela ne me fait trop rien mais j’ai l’impression de rattraper d’un coup des gens que je considérais comme beaucoup plus âgés que moi jusqu’à hier…

Dans ma tête, je vois ça comme un virage à droite. La vingtaine, c’était une route droite qui montait. La trentaine, c’est une bifurcation à droite.

Bizarre non ? Mais je suis peut-être influencé par mes lectures :

I was thirty. Before me stretched the portentous, menacing road of a new decade.
The Great Gatsby, Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Le nombre 30 en mathématiques

C’est la somme des carrés des entiers 1, 2, 3 et 4 (1²+2²+3²+4²=30) , ce qui en fait un nombre pyramidal carré. C’est aussi le premier nombre sphénique : un entier strictement positif qui est le produit de trois facteurs premiers distincts (2 x 3 x 5 = 30).

Jake La Motta: “did you fuck my wife ?” (Raging Bull)

Jake La Motta (Robert De Niro): Did you fuck my wife ?

Joey La Motta (Joe Pesci): What ?!

Jake La Motta: Did you fuck my wife ?

Joey La Motta: [pauses, looks insulted] How could you ask me a question like that ? How could you ask me ? I’m your brother. You ask me that ? Where do you get your balls big enough to ask me that ?

Jake La Motta: [cooly] Just tell me.

Joey La Motta: I’m not answerin’ ya. I’m not gonna answer that. It’s stupid.

Jake La Motta: You’re very smart Joey. You give me all these answers, but you ain’t givin’ me the right answer. I’m askin’ ya again. Did you or did you not?

Joey La Motta: [frightened but controlled] I’m not gonna answer. That’s a sick question, you’re a sick fuck, and I’m not that sick that I’m gonna answer it. I’m not tellin’ ya anything… I’m gonna leave.

If Lenore calls, tell her I went home. I’m not staying in this nuthouse with you, you’re a sick mess, I feel sorry for ya, I really do. You know what you should do ? Try a little more fuckin’ and a little less eatin’. You won’t have troubles upstairs in your bedroom and you won’t pick it up on me and everybody else.

Do you understand, you fuckin’ wacko? You’re crackin’ up! Fuckin’ screwball, ya ! [walks out the door]

From Raging Bull, 1980.

Hax0rs Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who 0wnz heaven, j00 r0ck!

May all 0ur base someday be belong to you!

May j00 0wn earth just like j00 0wn heaven.

Give us this day our warez, mp3z, and pr0n through a phat pipe.

And cut us some slack when we act like n00b lamerz,

just as we teach n00bz when they act lame on us.

Please don’t give us root access on some poor d00d’z box when we’re too psssed off to think about what’s right and wrong,

and if you could keep the FBI and HADOPI off our backs, we’d appreciate it.

For j00 0wn r00t on all our b0x3s

4ever and ever,
