[en] Whale killing in the Faroe Islands

Today a herd of Pilot whales where killed in Tórshavn on the Faroe Islands. There is a article about this here. Also you can enjoy the beautiful images from the killings here in these two galleries: Gallery 1 and Gallery 2.

Long live the Pilot whale killings!

Having received criticism for this article I have deceived to add some more informative text on the killing from wikiedia.org - Whaling in the Faroe Islands.

From wikipedia.org:

Whaling in the Faroe Islands has been practised since at least the tenth century.^[1] It is regulated by Faroese authorities and approved by the International Whaling Commission. Around 950 Long-finned Pilot Whales (Globicephala melaena) are killed annually, mainly during the summer. Occasionally, other species are hunted as well, such as the Northern Bottlenose Whale and Atlantic White-sided Dolphin. The hunts, called "grindadráp" in Faroese, are non-commercial and are organised on a community level; anyone can participate. The hunters first surround the pilot whales with a wide semi-circle of boats. The boats then drive the pilot whales slowly into a bay or to the bottom of a fjord.

Most Faroese consider the hunt an important part of their culture and history. However, animal rights groups criticize the hunt as being cruel and unnecessary.^{[2] [3]} The hunters claim in return that most journalists do not exhibit sufficient knowledge of the catch methods or its economic significance.^[4]

Good whaling... Jari

[en] List open ports on your PC

Have you ever wondered which ports are open on your PC? Both active outgoing and listening?
A tip is to use netstat which is built into Windows. I used the netstat -ano command (from the command prompt) to find a process which was using a port, which was meant to be used by another program. The above command will provide you with the Process ID (PID) of the program for each connection. The use the Windows Task Manager to find the PID (can be seen under the Processes tab, provided that you have selected the PID to be display).

To undelete a file or files that you have deleted by accident (and they are not in your "Recycle bin" or "Trash".
