Malaysian Cars

What do I think about Malaysian cars. Well, some of them are good like the Neo and V6. While some of it is like OK like the new Saga and all the other cars. But compare it to other car brands, it's like our cars are so ol'skool.

Let's talk about Malaysian performance cars. Wait, there ain't any Malaysian performance cars. OK, there's the Proton R3 specials, but the latest R3 car is just 135HP. Guy's, that's not what you call performance. Lets compare Proton best performance car, the Satria R3 with 150HP with Hyundai. In the old days, Proton will always on top of Hyundai. But now, it's the other way around. Hyundai has their Genesis Coupe which has 300HP. Twice the amount if the R3. And rear-wheel drive. REAR-WHEEL DRIVE. While we are still stuck with front wheel drive.

There's only one Malaysian made luxury car, the Perdana. Has a gutless V6 and a terrible gearbox. Proton, how are you going to compete the the german marques like BMW and Merc. Even Hyundai beat you with their Sonata.

You've seen what Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson did to the Kelisa, right? He said that Malaysian cars are made without passion and made just for collecting profit. To me, he's telling the truth. Malaysian cars are designed with no passion what so ever. You guy's know about the new Fiat 500. Compare it withe the old one, the new one has as much flair and charisma as the old one, which is an icon in it's time. Malaysian cars design are so blur and boring. Look at Ferrari, their cars screams passion, for crying out loud.

If I owned Proton, man, I would make Malaysia's First Supercar and with these specs:

• Engine: Mid-engined 5.0 Litre V8 with 500+ HP
• Transmission: Something similar to BMW's DCT transmission
• Chassis & Suspension: 100% made by Lotus
• Design: Pininfarina @ a Malaysian made design (If it has passion)

Anyone whose good with photoshop can send me their artwork to kowreck@gmail.com and I'll post it on the blog for everyone to see.

If any of Proton's executive's read this, please make Proton, if not the best marque in the world, make it the best in Asia, at least.

P/S: My favorite Malaysian car is the Neo. But the Ferrari 430 Scuderia stole my heart......

The Threat of P2P

P2p. I use it to share songs with my buddies. But some goons use it to steal peoples documents and identities. Here's a link where you can read more about the P2P threat:

Now you know the threat, you must protect your PC against P2P stealing (that's what I call it).
This link will help you protect against P2P threats.

A word of the wise, don't steal other peoples documents and identities. Ask their permission if you want it.(Although I never ask permission. Don't follow what I'm doing. Long live P2P)

1st Post = Assingment

Woohoo I've finally opened a blog. Although it's an assignment but this blog will go on unless I forgot the password to log on.

You should know that this 1st posting is an assignment, so I've been told to post about my view on computers or PC's.

My first class in Uitm was CSC 134. It's about PC's. I learned about pros and cons of PC's.

Let's start with the pros first. It speeds up and simplifies the work.I agree with this because my PC does help me when I'm doing my PMR. The PC also is really reliable. If you want proof, my PC still have all of my documents from my UPSR report. That's six years ago. It's also consistent and not lie people who usually gets a lil bit rusty after a few years of service.

Now for the cons. Privacy. You've heard before that people's identities been stolen, right? And from where does this thing happened? From the PC of course with help from the internet. The internet is like a stream of info and identities. So when people goes fishing in tha stream, they will caught something other than info. If it's use by bad people it'll cause trouble to the dude who's identity been stolen. One other thing is piracy. People nowadays don't buy cd's, they download songs ofhe internet. If people pay for it, its okay, but if people doesnt pay, it's doesn't become fair to the artist who produced the music.

But to me, there's more pros than cons for PC's. And a word of the wise, use your PC responsibly (although I never will. Long live P2P software)
