Sex

In this post I am going to talk about my experience about sex in Canada. So, please leave it here if you are not interested in reading nude ideas. I will not hesitate using explicit words.
My Chinesse Friend
Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran
I’ve got a chinesse friend. He is a Ph.D. student and has come here last August. He is a nice short-sighted boy which is ready to laugh. He asked me about Azadeh and told me that he has got a girlfriend back in China. Then I asked him the funny question “is it OK in China to have a girlfriend”? His answer was more like the image in the right. I tried to make it easier so I replied, “you know, Iran and China are so similar blah blah blah”. At the end I knew two important pieces of news,-
Even in China, people think about economy. So, being communist does not mean that people should live in hundreds of limitations and in desperate situations.

My friend was surprised about the way I was talking about Ahmadinejad. He asked me “so, you do not support your gvernment?” Even chinesse people love their government.
My nice laughing friend left my desk, but not my mind. You know, I was recently watching Ahmadinejad’s sit-down comedy about the goblet of fire.

Red Beard
Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran
Read this article to have some information about how Tehran stock market is working (see). Just to let you know, it is from the official site for Tehran stock market. Briefly, the article includes an interview with a controversial guy which is playing around in the stock market, collecting money. He has been behind bars for what he does and he is still doing it. A funny point: his last name is Ahmadi, so similar to Ahmadinejad. He is carrying the nickname “red beard”, so much sounds like pirates’ names.Canada

I Shop So I Am
Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran
Everybody knows that internet is full of pornography. Once I had the statistics of pornographic content in the internet, because of doing some research on image-preocessing-based methods to stop nudity. I do not remember the actual values but I do remember that it was a real mess. Now, BBC reports that women and computer games are among the most frequently searched words (see). Though, these results are based on the queries by people not seeking pornography in the internet. The report concludes that, even if not searching for webporn, users of the internet are looking for non-important things. The question is, where the hell in the world anyone looks for some real thing? In Iraq, in “Mission Impossible”, or in funny relationship of Tom Cruise with his new girl?
Anyway, I did a small research of my own. I searched for these words in Google: Hatred, porno, Ahmadinejad, Nudity, Paris Hilton, Hope, Terror, War, Islam, Shop, Allah, Sex, God, and Jesus. This list is sorted in terms of number of pages divided by number of images, a funny measure, though. In terms of number of pages containing these words, Google shows this list: Shop, War, Hope, Sex, God, Terror, Jesus, Islam, Paris Hilton, Hatred, porno, Allah, Nudity, and Ahmadinejad. So, people shop and go to war with other nations. Hoping God loves all of us, and equipped with Sex which is the fancy part of all television shows, news on terrorism remember westerners that Jessus version of God is more important. Though, Islam is also top of the list, maybe because of hatred. The same list is made when we soirt the entries in terms of number of images found by Google.
Thanks God. Sex is not the most important thing in the world. At least, shopping and going to war are more important than sex. By the way, God is always everywhere.

How to Pirate Movies
Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran
This may be not so new to many, but was really new to me when I first learnt it. When you live in a serious country, like Canada, if you are a movie-watching guy then you have to pay 5$ for renting one hot movie from Buck-Buster for a week. Being a student, that would not be your choice for sure. So, what is the solution? Torrent is the way, indeed. As much as I know, torrent is a new technology aimed at peer-to-peer data transmission. There are plenty of tools for hiring a torrent service, but the general story is the same. You share some files, and as you do not like those fancy copyright protection guys, you make a torrent. The torrent includes your address, but keeps your privacy. To download a movie you have to first find a suitable torrent file. You can go to torrentspy for example. There are several other torrent-archiving systems, but torrentspy is my choice. It contains torrents of movies, TV shows, also books and as it is a part of the internet, lots of pornography. Also, there are lots of nude ads in the pages, so be careful. When you’ve done downloading a torrent file, which is a small file of few hundred KB, at most, that’s the time to wait and count the bytes coming. Hence, you need a torrent client. I use bitcomet. Just search google and download the first version you find. Now, double-click on the torrent file and watch how it is being downloaded. Generally, if you have a fast line, you will have the movie in a few days. But be aware: Some files are compressed. Torrentspy gives passwords for them, which in my experience are always correct. But do not mess with the owners of files and what they ask for to give you the password. Generally, I would prefer files without any password. Also, be aware of health of files. Personally, I will not go for files which are not full-green-healthy. By the way, you can watch the movie as soon as you have, say, 20% of it in your computer. So, take a look and do not waste your time.
In my experience, I watch movies with a DVD-player. So, if you are in the same boat make sure that you are buying a DIVX-enabled DVD player. I bought a LG one for 99$. There are not so many DVD players that support DIVX and some of them are funnily expensive. If you are planning on using a DVD-player, make sure that you only download AVI files. There are also Real files which will not play on your DVD-player. By the way, you can find out the format of files you are downloading when you first feed them into bitcomet.
So, go on, do it, but, after all, what you are doing is essentially piracy. So, do it with your own responsibility.

Academic Paradigm of Clerics
Kamangir | December 1, 2005 | Category Iran
This photograph is from a meeting about “academic paradigm” (see). It seems that Iran has changed too much. Because, as I remember, there were few cleric professors that time, I mean three months ago. Basically, there were no cleric professors in Sharif, except in that “Vali Faqih’s representatives”.
