I’m sure many of you know by now, I am “addicted” to Disturbed. Their music f@$#ing rocks! Well, lately, I’ve been listening to one of their songs… a lot. A lot more than many of the others.

It’s become one of my top favorites, and it’s called “Deify”.

[Woman's Voice:] That’s what I believe got him re-elected, is the people knew that you could believe what he says.
[George Bush:] Our Country is strong, we go forward to defend freedom, and all that is good and just in our world.

All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you’ve stolen from me

You want to know why I feel so horrified?
I’ve let my innocence die
You want to know why I can’t be pacified?
You made me bury something
I won’t be sleeping tonight

I only wanted a blessing made
Now I’ve been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You’re no immortal
I won’t let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man

You want to know why it seems the passion’s died?
We’ve all been living this lie
You want to know why my will’s been fortified?
You’ve made me hunger again
Good luck sleeping tonight

I only wanted a blessing made
Now I’ve been labeled a renegade
It seems so clear now what I must do
You’re no immortal
I won’t let them
Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man

All my devotion betrayed
I am no longer afraid
I was too blinded to see
How much you’ve stolen from me

Deify you
They view you as the new messiah
Deify you
Renew belief in some demented man

It’s about time someone had the balls to say something about dotAsia. I for one, have had the same thoughts since news first broke about dotAsia.

So, today, I bring you, a very well written post about The dotAsia debacle:

Well tbh, I don’t subscribe to TLD bashing. Its a common enough pass time for trolls and others alike on most boards. Some people do it to downplay competition, some coz they want to push something else, some coz its just fashionable to kick something when its down. But a really small percentage do it for educating the sheep (aka followers) who’re being led down the garden path by people with vested interests (not to mention huge holdings) in a particular TLD…

Any of you heard of ExpertRating.com?

I found them earlier today by just browsing around. It appears they do a lot of testing for employers, and they have every test imaginable.

I just had to try it, so I picked out the PHP5 Test. The tests aren’t free, but it appears most of them are around $9.95 (and payable by PayPal).

As for my test, I passed with an 88/100. I could do better if I *tried*, I flew through the thing. I might try it again later, and take my time But for now… I am:

Percentile: 97 GPA: 3.5 Passing Score: 50 Your Score: 88 Result: Pass

The Percentile value denotes the percentage of candidates who have scored less than this particular candidate in this test.

The GPA shows this candidate’s performance relative to the top scorer of this test. It is calculated out of a maximum of 4. A GPA of 4 would mean that this candidate has top scored in this test.
