When running an online voting site that doesn't really have any sort of user authentication method other than using cookies to see wheter the person has voted within the last hour. Data must be constantly scrutinized to ensure that no one is stuffing the ballot box.

To prevent bots from spaming votes, you need to use a CAPTCHA control like this one.

So, now people can't use bots to fill your ballot boxes anymore so are you safe from getting invalid votes?

No!

Do not underestimate the power of feminity! A properly equiped and highly trained female is about to convince legions of interested people to Click On Vote->Clear Cookies->Click On Vote... rinse and repeat.

Nothing against women but that's what the data is telling me. In fact the person doing it is getting so good at all that he's topping one entry every about 10 seconds, which after some tweaking of Firefox I too as able to do so it's humanly possible to stuff the box and there's nothing you can do about it without any sort of SERVER SIDE VALIDATION!

So... the E3 press conferences have come and gone and how do I feel about each of the 3 major companies... well not much has changed. I still have no inkling to buy a Sony PS3 on launch day, and pulling the We have motion detection controllers too! stunt was really really low. Where's all the technological advancements and impressive doodads that was promised to us last E3? Where're the dual HDMI outputs, where're the triple LAN ports. Oh.. you took them out to cut costs? And yet the machine is still priced pretty steeply.

Microsoft... well my experiences with online gaming on the 360 has been nothing less than phenomenal, and I can see that I'll be having more fun down the road with the 360. So... no regrets getting the console and I can't wait to play Dead Rising!

But... Nintendo... NINTENDO!!! Nintendo... ROCKS... MY.. WORLD!!! My friend says I'm biased cause I'm an old school gamer but... no.. that's not the case, the Wii is going to change the way we play games, it's going to be fun playing games on Wii and I can't wait for it! Everyone who play video games should look at the Wii demo trailer and if you don't even have a little bit of WANT to play with it... you just ain't enjoying your games then! ;)

Lately work has just been so busy... and then when I come home the 360 is waiting for me. I just don't feel like I have enough time to work on anything else.

But... I do feel like doing something, maybe something to give back to the local gaming community.

Well I hope I can actually see the project through, there's just so many things to worry about hahaha... ooo.. let's just wait and see lar.

So... let's play a game. How much force does it take to move an old parked Toyota Corolla about 5 meters?

In fact if it wasn't for the fact that there was a Kembara in the way I think it might have flew even FURTHER!!

Anyway to answer the question...

Enough force to make the oncoming Kancil/Kelisa to flip on it's side. I didn't blot out all of the guy's plate number (The last number is NOT 4) because after smashing into my brother's PARKED car and then coming out from the Kancil with the faint but distinct scent of alcohol on him. And then he tells me he wasn't drinking?!?!?! If you weren't drinking why the heck were you driving so fast in a housing estate until you gained enough mometum to shove my brother's car from where it was parked into our neighbour's Kembara?

I wonder who's car was damage more, My brothers?

Or his..

The Kancil get's extra damage points cause when the tow truck came, instead of gently lifting the car up. They just pushed it right side up, I think your wheels would probably get damaged by that. And yes.. that's the dumbass driver!

Also in another food for thought on the topic of WHAT THE HECK was he doing to cause him to smash into my brother's car, this is the first thing he discarded from inside his car after it was flipped upright.

A container.. STILL OPEN... with left over Fried Kuay Teow if I'm not mistaken, I peeked inside the car there was no spillage which I could see so maybe he finished it before.
