I think you need to stop reading Perez Hilton Blogs

Free Ubuntu Stickers [Hak5]

Gave up on Windows 7, gone back to XP.. Mac Mini via Synergy+: (Had to reinstall.. *sigh*)

Keep it, you can install Windows 95 on it

lol Thanks dude, that brown wallet looks nice too!

I just saw this article on bbc news about how the UK passport has evolved over time, and was wondering what you guys think of these new rfid passports? My knowledge with these is kinda sketchy, but are the chips safe? Can they really be cracked and if so, how can you destroy them? (I've heard microwaving them can cause the passport to catch fire.. )

Since I haven't been able to find a job after dropping out of uni, I'm considering going back. I just have to see if student finance give me a loan.. fingers crossed..

I got them in the post today, four 'Powered by Ubuntu' stickers, but sadly no key stickers (I think they only do those in the USA..)

Isn't the Daily Mail for old people? :P

Whatever you do, don't come to the Midlands. It is a disaster here.

I've been asking this same question for far too long (10+ years) and still haven't got anywhere..

Thanks dude! The one in the UK is about 15 minutes drive away from me :D

As a matter of fact, yes. I have been declined jobs, while my friends of different cultural backgrounds (who happened to be studying the same as me at the time) managed to breeze through. You should know that there's a difference between a 'fanatical muslim' and a muslim. Don't believe everything you read in the papers or watch on youtube. I do see the point of view of the guy who refused to work on an online sex toy shop, but I don't want to get into a religious debate and go offtopic. :)

Networking. I can set up a router, set up wireless dongles, and configure ports. Pretty much it. Programming. Despite knowing how all programs work, and being able to compile programs, I can't code to save my life.

A few years ago I completed a four year course (BTEC National + HND. Probably equivalent to around half a degree) in aerospace engineering. I picked this course after leaving school as I wanted to be an airline pilot. However, as this was an engineering course, it opened my eyes and I basically started to think like an engineer. I also found that I would most definitely need to pick a different career, as 9/11 destroyed my chance of ever getting a sponsorship from a UK airline company, due to myself being Muslim and probably having brown skin. After this course I took a year out to help with my family business, which is a simple newspaper shop. I then went to uni and got into the second year (due to my HND) of an aerospace technology/avionics course, and everything went downhill from there. Due to my year out I had a tough time remembering anything from college. I repeated the year doing part time (only studying the modules I failed) and ended up failing a few again, as the financial crisis disaster was at its peak at this time. (No job + student finance were simply being idiots). For the past year I've been back at home, working in the newspaper shop. The funny thing is I still have a qualification, but no experience + a student loan to pay. Square one.

Well, since everyone else is posting their setup.. This is pretty much where I live:

I use Twitter to keep up with any aerospace related stuff, i.e. Nasa. I also use it for Islamic updates on any new Islamophobic crap around the net. Yes, I'm a Muslim and I'm involved in the aero industry.. Life is tough <_<

What do you guys think of this? http://www.joindiaspora.com/

Slashdot

These are pretty good, thanks :D

Come on guys, time to dig out all that old junk you have lying around..
