Pana Around 1900

Donncha posted this photo of the Father Mathew statue from around 1900, but feck that, look at Pana, it’s barely recognisable!

Forked Forkbomb Tattoo

Guy on Stack trying to figure out why the forkbomb he tattooed on his arm doesn’t actually run. Bless.

(Part Of) Me Old Mini!

This came off my first car, a Mini I bought before I had any mechanical skills whatsoever, probably 15-20 years ago. I know it’s mine because the grille was a separate purchase, and I picked the colour myself from something completely unrelated to Minis. A friend of a friend sprayed it, badly, and then it languished in my parent’s garage for far too long, stripped. I eventually sold to my neighbour for a fraction of what it cost me. He probably made a tidy sum on it. :)

Doing It Wrong #875

For once I was actually surprised…

Kia GT4 Stinger

I was disappointed not to be able to post anything interesting from CES – anything, anything at all – but at least Detroit isn’t disappointing on the metal front. Best so far is this brilliant concept from Kia, of all brands. 2l turbo driving the rear wheels. Gorgeous.

Open Source Browsers Are Dangerous!

That’s according to clueless fucktard Patrick O’Donovan, Fine Gael TD for Limerick. Here’s a tip for you Patrick — when you don’t understand what you’re being told, fact-check it with at least two other independent people in the field. You fucking buffoon.

Fine Gael TD for Limerick, Patrick O’ Donovan has called for tougher controls on the use of open source internet browsers and payment systems which allow users to remain anonymous in the illegal trade of drugs, weapons and pornography. Deputy O’Donovan has written to the Oireachtas Communications Committee, of which he is a member, asking it to investigate the matter.

“An online black market is operating which protects the users’ anonymity and operates across borders through the use of open source internet browers and payments systems which allow users to remain anonymous. This effectively operates as an online supermarket for illegal goods such as drugs, weapons and pornography, where it is extremely difficult to trace the identity of the buyers. We need a national and international response to clamp down on this illicit trade.
