New World Highest Bridge - French Millau bridge

May 30th, 2004 | Category: Technology | 2 Comments

Engineers brought the two central ends of the Millau road viaduct in southwest France together, completing the span of the highest bridge in the world.(AFP/File/Eric Cabanis)

The road surface is 270 metres above ground, a world record, and the total structure, with suspension cables added will be 343 metres (1,132 feet) above ground at its highest point or 23 metres higher than the Eiffel Tower.

These will take the total height at the highest point to 343 metres. One of the main supporting pylons beneath the platform, known as pylon 2, stands 245 metres high, making it the tallest pylon in the world.

The bridge, along the most direct route from Paris to the Mediterranean, is to be opened to public traffic on December 17, 39 months after work began.

Singapore: “You Are Fined, Spammer!”

May 30th, 2004 | Category: Technology, Web | 2 Comments

Wow! Wow! This is interesting! Singapore is going to fine spammers on per spam email?! :shock:

While it can’t do anything about the mail that comes from outside the country, the government is planning to slap a huge fine on the locals.

The Singapore attorney-general’s office told the Times that new laws could come into effect by early next year. They would force ISPs to take local spam purveyors to the civil court and fine them $S1 to $S0.10 per spam email.

However, in signs that the government may not be thinking this one through properly, they have not said how they expect ISPs to trace the origin of the spam nor how they are expected to enforce any laws that were enacted.

First thought: Really good in making money…
Second thought: Knowing that most spammer spoofed its sources, I am waiting to see how Singapore trace the origin of spam mails.

Please, Keep My Movie In One Piece!

May 30th, 2004 | Category: Life Log, Malaysia | 5 Comments

Watched 8TV movie show - My Sassy Girl just now. Frusted. :evil:

“My Sassy Girl” is one of my favourite movie, but the 8TV has no mercy on it… It simply cut the movie here and there! The good movie became incomplete pieces… :mad:

Yes, I know there are a few not-children-friendly scenes in the movie and they are cut. BUT, why there are MANY 12-year-old-friendly parts also gone?! Too terrible… :(

Okay, admit it. EVERY movie will end up like that in Malaysia… Sorry to say that our neighbour country is better to keep a movie in one piece.

I understand that TV stations need to make the movie shorter to plug in products information(read: time for toilet). Cut mah cut loh~, but cut SMART please! I strongly feel that those handle the scissors need to learn how to cut. :P

You know, that is one of the reasons people buy budget VCD/DVD… *sigh*
