Kite flyers union demand more pay for flying bigger kites

Posted in Uniquely Singapore by themediaslut on the April 26th, 2007

Welcome to the TMS Make-Believe News Alert!!!

Besides the current pay tussle between Singapore International Airlines (SIA) and their pilots, the kite flying union here has also taken the kite owners to court over pay issues.

The union of professional kite flyers in red-dot nation are demanding for more pay from their pay as they will be slated to fly a very big kite later in the year and have taken the owners of the very kite to court to settle it out. 

The kite owners fired the first salvo by highlighting that there is no difference between flying a small kite and a very very big kite.

The kite flyers defended that flying a big kite and small kite is not like riding a bicycle.

"To fly a very very big kite requires lot of responsibilities," said the president of Omega-K, the union of professional kite flyers.

"There are more strings attached to a very very big kite. Small kites have lesser strings so they are easier to handle."

The owners of the very very big kites have countered that there will be no difference in flying a big or small kites.

"A kite is still a kite," said the very very big kites owners.

"We have designed the environment to meet the demands of flying a very very big kite. All the kite flyers need to do is to pull the string."

Law observers expect the judge to tell the kite flyers and kite owners to "go fly kite "!

Have a hearthy breakfast, for tonight we dine in Outlands hell!

Bigger storage space reduces PC’s chances to hang?

Posted in Tech, Uniquely Singapore by themediaslut on the April 24th, 2007

themediaslut was informed by a technical guy from hardware shop that a very senior official made this statement about how a bigger storage space can reduce the chances of your PC hanging and felt rather uneasy with the statment. 

From the very very senior officer:

Singaporeans, if I can chose an analogy, we are the hard disk of a computer, the foreign talent are the megabytes you add to your storage capacity. So your computer never hangs because you got enormous storage capacity.

The technical guy highlighted that the computer is still prone to hanging if you using a very slow processor or a very bad operating system.

"I think it has more to do with how you manage the boot drive," said the technical guy.

"I mean, if it’s badly fragged, then it will be slow.
 
"What if the PC doesn’t have a up-to-date anti-virus program and the additional storage space introduces a virus?"
Another technical guy also highlighted that megabytes nowadays cost more than than gigabytes.
"You know a thumbdrive of megabytes capacity now costs more than gigabytes," said the other technical guy.
"Nobody wants a 512MB thumbdrive, everybody wants 1GB or more and the price of GB are going down day by day."
 
More computer experts are giving themediaslut some comments about increasing the PC’s capacity.
 
"Well u can extend it," said another computer expert.
 
"If u have too much capacity, u end up not using all of it.

"u need more effort to maintain and it consumes more resources on the same small computer."
