Curfew? What the...???

The government just announced they're implementing a curfew starting tonight. People are advised not to traverse the streets from 12:00 midnight to 5:00 in the morning. What I don't understand is why they decided to make up this curfew nonsense. The police and military are so inept they can't handle something like this. First, they let their own men (armed to the teeth, no less) go unaccounted for and occupy a hotel in the middle of Makati, for cryin' out loud. It's in the middle of a business district and nobody noticed??? Now they want to impose a curfew on hapless civilians. Who's to blame here? Certainly not the civilians who are minding their own business.

More on Green PC's

I've just posted an entry on my tech blog about the "green" PC's I've found online. I really am looking for a low-power alternative to my desktop and would like to replace it in the near future.

Top 5 Reasons Your Friends Say You're Addicted to the Web

5. You maintain multiple blogs - You have a blog for personal issues, one for technology, one for your favorite band, one for news commentary, one for your club, one for making money and one for ummm....'private' interests (like porn).

4. You've ditched AIM/ICQ, MSN and Y! Messenger for a multi-protocol IM/Chat solution - Maybe you use Trillian on Windows? Running Adium on your MacBook? Or do you stick to Meebo.com on your favorite browser? Maybe you like the exotic and customize stuff with Miranda IM? Aha! Pidgin!

3. You have an email address for each of your activities - You have an email address for emailing friends, one for all your blogs, one for mailing lists and forums (with a twin account for bashing people you fight with in the forums), one for ad revenues and affiliate programs and one for other ummm... 'private' activities (porn). You will typically have one from each of the big players (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL/AIM/Netscape), a couple or more from niche providers (Hushmail, Fastmail, Bluebottle, Hotpop, Mail.com) and one for work (lest we forget!).

2. You have multiple browsers - You have Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Netscape, Maxthon and Browzar (for 'private' browsing of ummm... porn) on your MS-Windows systems. You also have Firefox, Opera, Epiphany, Galeon, Konqueror, Swiftfox, IceWeasel, SwiftWeasel, Kazehase and IEs4Linux on your Linux system. If you're a true- blue Linux geek, you'll go one step further and install Lynx, Dillo and may even browse sites using Emacs/W3. Then to maintain your social networking, Flickr, Del.icio.us and blog accounts you rely on Flock.

1. You have a blackbelt in Google-Fu - 'Nuff said.
