August 03 GRRRR PT 2Well, I'm still not satisfied with this new look. This is the biggest change to date, it will definately take some time to get used to. The music plays off and on. The spaces take to long to load. The "statistics" dont work. Buttons aren't in their usual place. That crazy ad is up on top. It took me a long time to find the new "save" button, its now a floppy disk icon. The new "friends" thing is a ripoff from Myspace, lets just hope MSN space doesnt turn into that teeny bopper site.
Wow, that rant took quite a few brain cells, and its a Thursday, my non-blogging day. I'll end this with a cut & paste from the paper. I asked Yu Yi and 2 other people from China about it, and none of them heard a thing about it. There is alot of censorship in China, and I think this is one thing they kept from the public.
A county in southwest China has ordered all 50,546 dogs to be killed in an effort to fight a rabies outbreak that has caused the deaths of three people, state media has said.
Around 90 percent of the dogs in Muding county, Yunnan province, had already been killed since the campaign began on July 25, the Beijing News said. Owners were ordered to kill their pets or face having teams of local police and other enforcement officers kill them, it said. Even the 4,292 dogs in the county that had been immunized against rabies were ordered put to death, as authorities said the immunizations were not 100 percent effective, the report said. From January through July, 360 people in the county had been bitten by dogs, with the three human deaths occurring since April, the Beijing Times said. Some owners have used methods including hanging their dogs, electrocuting them and clubbing them to death, while others used drugs, the Beijing News said. Dog owwners had been compensated five yuan (60 cents) each for the loss of their pets. A reporter for the Beijing News who visited the county said one woman was told by dog-elimination squads patrolling the streets that her dog had to be killed. She covered her eyes as the patrollers beat her dog to death. To prevent dog owners from violating the order, roadside checkpoints had been set up to inspect vehicles for dogs, the Beijing News said. Any dogs found were immediately killed at the scene. Only police dogs and canines used to guard military artillery warehouses were spared. China has laws banning harm to endangered animals. But there are no regulations protecting other animals, including pets. A small but growing number of animal activists and pet owners in China are pushing to build a humane society and legislate animal protection, but those efforts are usually only in big cities. I'm stumped, maybe someone in blog land has an answer for me. I guess my music IS playing, but the only person who cant hear it is ME. In fact, I cant hear anyones music. My WMP works fine on music on my harddrive, it just doesnt work in spaces. Comments (23)
