Feed Science Daily: Massive Canadian Oilfield Could Be Exploited Using New System (sciencedaily.com)

A new method for extracting oil is now at the forefront of plans to exploit a massive heavy oilfield in Canada. Unlike conventional light oil, heavy oil is very viscous, like syrup, or even solid in its natural state underground, making it very difficult to extract. But heavy oil reserves that could keep the planet's oil-dependent economy going for a hundred years lie beneath the surface in many countries, especially in Canada.
Linux

Journal Journal: Linux failing, proven.

I saw a comment on /. saying that linux was (un)successful because of the rudeness / "elitism behavior" of veterans, IE being a total jerks towards newbies. Well today I have a proof of that. Sit back 'n relax. This was taken on #linuxhelp on EFNet, May13th 2000pm EST:

Journal Journal: Benny Benassi sucks

"Satisfaction" is from that guy. I hate that crap, hes popular only because he's talking about sex with a vocoder. Then he released some other songs and remixes, but it sounds all the same. Same vocoder, too. I was in a club last saturday and after 3 seconds of the beginning of the song i said "here we go, another Benny Benassi crap."

Wanna be popular? Try this.

Journal Journal: You know you're a computer geek when...

I was talking with some friends and someone mentionned about how he warms up his room with that cold season (I'm Canadian, and this week we had temperatures like -30 degrees Celcius). There was the usual answer like burning some wood in a funrnace (bad english, probably) and the usual warming methods..

I just replied "Me? If I want heat I just have to turn on my computer!"

I guess that was a geeky reply =P

Movies

Journal Journal: American Wedding - last movie?

I watched American Wedding not long ago, and I was thinking about the chances of having another american something movie afterwards.

When AP2 was out, i watched and said "ok, looks like there will be another one", but now it looks like American Wedding was a bonus movie, and there is no hope or hints saying "yes, we'll be back."

Journal Journal: Jabber, anyone? (First postie, too) 1

Yeah, first post. About time, since my uid is considerably low. Anyway.

Who the hell uses jabber? It sounded like a good idea (and im sure MSN Messenger will either screw up or will be a paid service one day or another), so I am giving it a try, but im kinda all alone up there :P

Yea, uhm.. just add me to your list, kay? bilange[at]nureality[dot]ca
