Cannon Fodder and the art of being nerd

Do you remember Cannon Fodder for Amiga?

Yesterday afternoon I had such a flash, an uncontrollable desire of listening to "War has never been so much fun".

I know you can understand.

After the jump some videos and music to remind us all how nerd we are.

The revenge of the Nerds

Good ol' time when football players used to humiliate nerds in high school...

Now nerds sit in the Homeland Security Advisory Council.

"Hacker Jeff Moss, founder of computer security conferences DEFCON and Black Hat, has been sworn in as one of the new members of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) of the DHS. Moss, who goes by the handle 'the Dark Tangent' says he was surprised to be asked to join the council and that he was nominated to bring an 'outside perspective' to its meetings. He said, 'I know there is a new-found emphasis on cybersecurity, and they're looking to diversify the members and to have alternative viewpoints. I think they needed a skeptical outsider's view because that has been missing.'"

Great comeback, guys!

at it, lads! (Pirate Party wins seats in the EU Parliament)

Pirate Party wins seats at EU table

Sweden’s Pirate Party has won 7.1% of Swedish votes in the Europe-wide ballot, comfortably over the 4% threshold and enough to give it two seats in the European Parliament.

Roughly 200,000 citizens voted for the party, making it the fifth most popular party in Sweden and the largest party representing under 30s, as well as beating more established parties like the Christian Democrats and the Centre Party.

A swedish point of view here, at Little Gamers :)

While they managed to get into the Parliament, unfortunately their collegues at the Pirate Bay were astonished when the Stockolm Court ruled that the TPB judge, member of two pro-copyright groups, wasn't biased.

Chimp-Made Toolkit Most Complex Ever Found

Central African chimpanzees crave honey so much that they've invented the animal kingdom's most complex known set of tools to get it, according to researchers who found many of the tools still slathered with the syrupy liquid.

May 25th is a great day because (in the right order)

  1. It's my birthday
  2. It's the Towel Day
  3. It's the Geek Pride Day (aka Nerd Pride Day)
  4. in the US it's the National Francesco Appreciation Day (no offense here... only one person can understand it) ;)

And yes, I'm boasting about that.  :P
