I found an awesome post on a website where the Chinese version of World of Warcraft – Wrath of the Lich King was compared with the regular version of WoW. I must say that the Chinese rules about games are laughable, just look at the images! Why would it harm the people of China to see some static computer made skeletons? Just check for yourself and feel some empathy for the Chinese.

Okay, this video series/movie is some months old, but I just found it this morning when I was looking around at That Guy With The Glasses’ homepage. I have only watched the first part when I’m writing this and I really like it, so here are all of the parts. I’m going to finish watching them a bit later. :)

The version that you can download from the official Firefox addon page doesn’t seem to work in Firefox 4 Beta 3 (which that I’m using). But I found after some googeling a post with a link to a working beta version of Greasemonkey that works in FF 4 Beta 3.

Check it out here, post #10:

I bought Borderlands a few days ago and I started to play as Lilith. I’m currently at level 25 and I find this build very good:

As you can understand I’m using phasewalk to get in and out of combat, and to heal myself. I’m also using SMG, but I haven’t got many skills that boost weapon damage, accuracy and stuff like that yet. With the SMG am I using the Mercenary class mod that increases SMG damage and more.

This is the build I’m working towards, to get fully advantage out of my class mod, and that I will get it on level 33:

On level 50 (if I even reach that far) I will use something like this:

Then I have 5 unspent points too, that I don’t know yet what’s best to spend them on. Maybe on Blackout or on Hit & Run.

Maybe you find this post useful if you play Borderlands and need some inspiration as Lilith. :)

Here are three graphs that show how much the criminality in Sweden has increased during the past decades:

Physical abuse

Reported cases of physical abuse, 1950 - 2009

Reported cases of rape, 1950 - 2009

Reported cases of rape, 1950 - 2009

Reported cases of robbery, 1950 - 2009

Reported cases of robbery, 1950 - 2009

Where I found the graphs:

The sources are SCB (Statistiska Centralbyrån) and BRÅ (Brottsförebyggande Rådet). Those two organisations work for the Swedish government.

Anime Calendar is a pretty neat website to check out which anime series that are airing right now in Japan. The calendar does also tell you on which time on the day that the episodes are being aired and on which channels, but that information is kinda useless if you don’t have access to those Japanese channels and know how to speak Japanese. On the other hand can you use the site to predict on which days that you can expect new subbed episodes to be released on. The site’s layout is also really good.

Here are three nice anime databases that I like:

Those sites are pretty useful when you wonder something about an anime and want to check up any information. I also recommend you to check Wikipedia, there is also a lot of information about animes.

One awesome addon to Firefox is Better GReader, which adds extra features and settings to Google Reader. My two favorite features in this addon, are the preview function and the ability to change skin of Google Reader. With the preview function am I able to open sites in a window in Google Reader, without having to mess with new tabs and stuff like that.

Hrm… I don’t know what to say more about this addon. Check it out on the link below:

According to this article, is a 7 characters passwords pretty hopeless nowadays, because of the GPU-power that the regular consumer graphic cards got. Instead does the article recommends you to change to a longer password, with at least 12 characters. Then I can feel a bit safe, with my 15 characters password. :)

I wonder when we will need to have full sentences as passwords due to the increasing power in our machines.

Just so you don’t get me or the article wrong. It’s only “safe” with a 12+ characters password as long as the hacker doesn’t have access to the database, with the password stored in it in plain text. Then is it only helpful with a long password if it’s hashed and/or salted.
