Google claims that this service is better because it has no ads or redirection. But you have to remember they are also the largest advertising and redirection company on the Internet. To think that Google’s DNS service is for the benefit of the Internet would be naive.

LoL, I remember mine too, it is embarrassing to think about it.
Kept typing quit when it said 'type :quit to exit', who knew that colon was to be included too.
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish;
we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we
wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of
life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of
having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are.
We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over
truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we
curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely
observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our
circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility
to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life
do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better
conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need
nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the
wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest
difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices
that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives.
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and
needing to make changes in their life - If you don't like how things are, change it!
You're not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life -
and it all begins with your very own power of choice.
By, Jim Rohn
Gotta love Japanese, and their creativeness for coming up with weird and funny stuff :)
Putting creativity on a pedestal can also be an excuse for laziness. There is a lot of cultural belief that creativity comes from inspiration, and can't be rushed. Not true. Inspiration is just your subconscious putting things together, and that can be made into an active process with a little introspection. Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better.
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Bad programming is easy. Idiots can learn it in 21 days, even if they are Dummies.
Good programming requires thought, but everyone can do it and everyone can experience the satisfaction that comes with it. The price is worth paying for the sheer joy of the discovery process, the elegance of the result, and the commercial benefits with which a systematic program design process comes.
One of my all time favorite dialogues from the motion pictures. Network was released in the year 1976 and yet the dialogue seems so relevant and perfect.
