Well what can I say? The region’s tension has just got much closer to boiling point, and I am frightened and excited at the same time. That’s coming from me who doesn’t even live there. Looking on the situation as a whole, it is really difficult to take sides. Not that we should…but it’s hard deciding what and what not to believe here. Both Israel and Hezbollah and their actions are fuelled so much by hate and anger at each other that it is hard for outsiders to see past this to actual justifiable reasons, besides the ones which are given out to the public,...

h44xoRd?! Yeah my site got hacked, wowza those guys are so great I mean if guessing if my password was the name of the site (usayd) isn’t bad enough, they even managed to optimise their cheesy owned page for the amazing browser – Internet Explorer! Oh well I’m not complaining at least they were nice enough to leave most of my data untouched. Basically all they did was replace all of the index pages on this site (both php and html) with their own gangsta version! Meh its my fault, I mean if the creator of WordPress’s site can get hacked then I probably should’ve thought...

Uhm for all those using those FCKGW versions of Windows – RUN! Haha only joking, but you may want to watch out for this. EDIT 3rd July 06 Haha, title edited to ‘M$ FAIL to Strike Back! From that you can probably work out what happened. No one was having it, sorry this topic really amuses me for some reason (i.e. the ideologies behind this ridiculous idea). If you don’t know what was going on, basically M$ come out saying they’re going to change their WGA (windows genuine advantage) tool in the next release so that it checks if your using a legal version of windows and sends...

I’m so happy! My GCSE exams are over and my 2 month and 20 day holiday has started! I’m not even going to bother talking about those extremely tiresome exams, but I’m really going to make the best out of these holidays. Firstly I don’t want to be lazing around at home all holiday which I know is something that you can easily fall into at the beginning of the holiday and something which is also quite difficult to get out of. My plan: Get a Job! – Want to get experience on my CV and $$ of course Work on Usayd Network – That means this site and the upcoming FreePeace...

No chemical materials and no charges. Isn’t it time the stupidity stopped?

A few days ago I came across an article talking about Sony’s new AR range of laptops, and when I saw the specification I was taken back. The Sony VAIO AR11S features (full specs available here): Intel Core Duo 2Ghz T2500 CPU 200GB (2×100GB HDDs in RAID 0) 1GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM Rewritable Blu-Ray Disc Drive TV Tuner (Freeview/Analog) Windows Media Centre 2005 256MB nVidia 7600GT 17″ X-Black TFT Screen HDMI Out (High Definition TV Cable) Media Centre Remote and Receiver   The Blu-Ray discs can store about 50GB of data (about 10x what a standard DVD can hold at the moment) and...

A recent article written by Yvonne Ridley talks about ‘Pop Culture in the Name of Islam‘. There has been a lot of hype about it, and I don’t even have time to go into detail as I have an exam tomorrow (search google if you want to see!). I am posting just to say that the Islamic group ‘Mecca2Medina‘ have made a response to the article where Yvonne Ridley says: “Islamic boy bands like 786 and Mecca 2 Medina are also the subject of the sort of female adulation you expect to see on American Pop Idol or the X-Factor. Surely Islamic events should be promoting restrained...

Peace, theres a cool site and a really good flash video which is encouraging people, largely kids in America not to join their army which is killing thousands of innocents and essentially could cost you your life. Check it out!
