Because of the ourageous amount of Spam, the following things have changed at the forums:- No more users from South America or Eastern Europe. Unless you are the tAtU girls or Charo, you will be banned. I welcome people from around the world, but if you have come to my message board to sell crap, you are getting banned.
- All words relating to ANY pharmasuedical product will get you BANNED. I was hoping not to do that incase someone wanted to debate the unnecessary number of children on Ritalin, but because people think I need a larger member, There won't be any talk about drugs, M'Kay. Drugs will get you BANNED, M'Kay.
- Just a reminder, if you spam any part of this website, your IP address and hosting address will be posted on the internet so that everyone knows what a bastard you are. I've got a whole list of IPs from St. Louis to Spain that is updated once a month. Last month was totally out of control. I now have to waste a beautiful weekend taking out Eastern-Eurotrash.

Digg gets HD-DVD pwn3d!
I used to look up to Kevin Rose back when he was on TechTV, but this news about Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson taking money from the HD-DVD promotions group and the MPAA is like finding out Barry Bonds took steroids.In response to this stab in the back, here's the number that the MPAA tried to censor from public knowlege to crack their crappy overpirced coasters.
09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0
Shame on you, Kevin. To hell with you , MPAA.
What numbers will the MPAA try to censor next? pi? e? The speed of light in a vaccum?
UPDATE
Kevin has quickly appologized for today's actions.

School Shooters are Stupid!
By now most of us have been IMMERSED in The Virus's 24 Hour coverage. The only reason I'm writing about this event is because Maddox doesn't respond to these events.If you have seen the photos the press recieved this kid looks like a moron.
"Duh, no body likes me. I'm a psycho case waiting to happen. I think I'll go listen to some Linkin' Park and fake speaking in a deep voice."
This was all planned. He wanted to cause this chaos. What he percieved would tear people apart, has only made them stronger.
The real weapons were not the two guns he had. They were the mainpulation and fabrication of mass media ("The Virus") The virus is his weapon. Using this he puts the Virus Addicts (miserable people who do nothing but watch talk shows and yellow news journalism).
The news media will be kicking around his propoganda for weeks, spreading disinformation and asking school leaders, law enforcement, and lawmakers to enforce hyperpower security that is about as pointless as trying to control other people's thoughts.
Such yellow journalism deserves a countermeasure to bust up this culture of fear.
Here's a photo that perfectly profiles this guy.
Asian people won't be picked on. No goths or outcasts harmed this time. You failed, Cho Seung-Hui. Burn in hell. And take your crappy photographs with you!
Man I hate the thrid week of April.

Y2K7
Thanks to your elected leaders, both current (i.e.: George W. Bush) and past (i.e. Al Gore), computer programmers have a new problem, seven years after Y2K and thirty years before Y2K37. (That's when the UNIX clock runs out. Better do something about that, Linus.)Ever since Bush took office in 2001, politicians on both sides of the asle, especially those with something to hide, have tried to manipulate contol of the technology than is suppost to catch criminals (especially the elected ones) and make elected representatives be more honest (espeically the dishonest ones).
Ever since the tape recorder logged Richard Nixon's involvemant in the Watergate scandal, dishonest politician and lobbyists have been pushing more legislation to make Big Brother watch citizens more that their leaders.
While it is reasonable in this day and age to put security cameras in some places like inside shops, busy intersections, buses, and other places where a large number of people congregate, we never see these things inside the offices of public officials. If they can wire tap our phones and log our public internet records, why can't we spy on them?
While these questions should be addressed, it seems more suitable to ask the EFF.
Looking back since 2001, the FBI New York field office was destroyed on September 11, 2001, containing the largest collection of confescated devices created by hackers going as far back as the 1960s.
In 2002, the PATRIOT Act allowed the government to warrentlessly spy on citizens. It doesn't say anywhere to my knowledge that citizens can't sequester the government's privaciy, although common sense would excuse the part of the government that is truely defending this country. What kind of fool would brag about war stragegies that help our troops who risk there own lives to protect this country and to help opressed people in countries that do really like us but are fortunate that we are there to help them and to let them know "I didn't come here to serve the leaders of my country but to serve the people that I love just as you've struggled to serve the people you love."
Which brings us to 2003. I don't think I need to explain a whole lot about what happened that year. War was declared. As much as our country though they were doing the right thing, we actually screwed up. On one hand, we took out Saddam. On the otherhand, we created more problems than we solved. On top of that, just about everyone who had a passion or interest in history worldwide was pisted. Of course our adminstration wasn't going to be lectured by a bunch of history professors, archiologists, scholars, museum curators, or any smart people. Never mind the fact that despite all the troops we sent into Iraq, the leaflets we dropped out of the sky, and the fact that there were even generals at CENTCOM who knew that there is much more in the Middle East that sand and oil. But would it have killed someone to protect the Iraq National Museum of Natural History? Like a special ops team? A phone call? A box of locks to secure the doors? Nope, our leaders were too busy watching Saddam's 23 gold palaces. Thanks to our leaders, nearily every artifact that could tell us about the Cradle of Civilization has been lost, damaged, stolen, or destroyed. Even the Mongolians knew to protect certain places back when they invaded Baghdad in the 16th century. This was also the year gas started costing over $2 per gallon. Who needs an honorary presidential pension when you can steal money from people who have to work for theirs? Let's also not forget the lost of one of the space shuttles due to an underfunded space agency that our country likes to brag about but never supports.
In 2004, there really was no election. John Kerry never intended to win. That would betray his fellow Skull and Bone brother, George W. Bush. Kerry is no hero. When you join the armed forces, you sign a commitment to serve your country, NO EXCUSES! Bush got his daddy to write him a note. Kerry shot himself in the foot, then scraped himself twice. Kerry and Bush are no Vietnam Veterans. I don't see them in black vests, riding motorcycles, working down at the VFW hall, or going to The Wall to rub a crayon on a piece of paper over somebody's name. This was a set up. Another four years of misery. This was also the year that thanks to the Hollywood Elite, the Christian conservative-run FCC cracked down on censorship after an intentional accident during the superbowl and some F-bomb by some old-as-dirt musicians. Thanks for the mamories, you stupid rich people!
In 2005, Hollywood and the media (now known on this website as "the virus") continued to show signs of foot-in-mouth syndrome espeically in the midst of a myriad of disasters. A tsunami in the Indian Ocean in late 2004. A destructive hurricane season that lasted well into the beginning of 2006. The piss-poor response by our government to provide help to a city that was destroyed. While fear-mongers shouted "global warming" and racism, the government once again turned a blind eye. Starting that year, many cities and states began to develop new programs for disaster response, especially greater support for people in low income areas. It was this year, that we learned that the adminstration would leave us to die if the unthinkable happened. We made a statement that if they wanted to preach about how life was sacred yet start wars and let people drown then we weren't going to go down without a fight.
In 2006, elections occured. Stem-cell research (SCR) was approved despite the kicking-and-screeming response of the uberconservative and the hypocritical federal government. When the results came in and SCR got the go ahead, opponents claimed that we didn't know what we were doing or that we were confused. It is bad enough they call the scientist who work on this stuff murderers, but to call the people who know that life begins when sperm meets egg not when boy meets girl stupid should anger anyone who is religious. I'd gladly go back to church if it wasn't for the people who forced their believes upon me or violated their own canon laws. When I go to church, I want don't want to look at some protestor waving their framed fetus-in-a-womb posters. Meanwhile in 2006, Al Gore's head continued expand rivial that of nimrod conservative talk show host Bill O'Rielly. While their egos continue to throw off the Earth's axis, the St. Louis area was hit with three separate storms that knocked out the power in most of the area for over a week. If you want to know what life is like in a post-apocalyptic world, try going without power for nearly a week while the mercury is over 100 degrees or below freezing. Gas topped $3 per gallon, but there were no pumps to fetch it. This was also the year we learned the Internet was not a big truck, but a series of tubes. The inbred intelegence of the telecom industry does not see technology in terms of zeros and ones but a check with a lot of zeros.
So far this year, the egos of the "global warming" campaign continued to get stuck under overpasses as Gore got an Oscar, gas continues to hover near $3, the PS3 and Microsoft Vista suck, and thanks to the federal government's inability to conserve energy, use Abrams tanks that get less than one mile per gallon, and because they've punished California for using more clean renewable energy, we now have to spring forward two weeks earily and fall back two weeks later.
"That doesn't sound like a big deal. You made me read all that to tell me about changing my clocks?"
Wrong! This has much more to do than just clocks. Computers now have to update their timekeeping software because of a bill passed by the federal government extending daylight savings time by four weeks.
That 400 point drop in the stock market last week wasn't because of Far East financial problems. It was stock investors covering their ass because they haven't downloaded any software patches to be Y2K7 compliant. There have been several upgrades to Linux and UNIX time zone data, but no announcements by Microsoft or Apple about their software. Not to metion, no major corporations who home brew their operating system have made any announcements. So what are banks going to be doing way earily on Sunday morning around 2AM? Probably not paying attention to the cyber-prowlers taking advantage of the earily shift in time. I suppose we will find out next week.

CompUSA Crashes! - Click!
If there is anything true it is that nothing complementary is truely free or as good as they say. Today, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch posted on the front page of the business section that all three St. Louis Area CompUSA stores are shutting down. Nationwide, 50% of all their stores are closing their doors."Yeah, so why not go to Circuit City or Best Buy?" Because firedog and geek squad are posers! On top of that, a trip to Circuit City this afternoon offered none of the products that I need to continuing to build my own computer. What's the point of selling CPU cooling fans if you don't have any CPUs to sell?
It also doesn't help that places like Circuit City and Best Buy put their computer department next to the car audio or home theatre section where the base is turned up and making items sensitive to shock vibrate.
I have come to realize that geeks in this country are being forced into exile. Money makers see the computer nerd as a niche group sort of like they associate goths with Hot Topic or women to the Lifetime TV network. Unless you are part of the herd, they seek to exterminate strays and individual thought.
I will not stand for it! I've worked too hard to save up to build my own machine just so that one of the few resources that can actually help me can die.
This is a sad day.

Where are the Movie Trailers?
The Superbowl is a great source to see what movies are coming up this summer. While site like YouTube may have these trailers already online, most people still turn to the Superbowl ads with their Teaser Trailers for movies that are coming soon to the box office. Or atleast we were hoping that would be the case.Unfortunately, advertising agencies (like most people in the field of offline commercial marketing) seem to think that if we want to find this information, we should go to the Internet. While the Internet is a good source to find previously aired advertisments, it is no subsitute for the 30 second movie trailer in high definition on the small screen.
The results for this years advertising were less than desirable, although the winner for the advertisements would have to be the Bud Light Squirrel. (Who doesn't love squirrels?).
Many ads that I wanted to see were AWOL. There was suppost to be ads for this summer's block busters. They weren't there. There were suppost to be ads for Microsoft Vista. They weren't there.
Most of the ads were the ads that people ususally see when there is no Superbowl. The Superbowl ads are suppost to be new advertisements, not the old ones. The high cost of adversting by the NFL certainly must have scared off the pennywise ad agencies and the miserly movie promoters. (Not to be an anti-semetic person, but Mel Gibson is right. You Hollywood producers need to splurge a little and stop being a bunch of anti-non-semetic misers. SPEND SOME MONEY ON ADVERTING YOUR MOVIES! OY!)
Pregame was Orwellian. No really it was. It might not be the drab environment like in the Apple 1984 commercial, but "One people, One Will, ...", but it was still Orwellian. The Circ de Sol (sp) appearance was more like a colorful kaliedescope to make it more appealing.
Prince was awesome, although, I don't think he liked being in the cold rain. I think a couple fireworks went off by accident, never the less, no F-bombs and no coordinated "malfunctions".
I really wanted to watch the game elsewhere, but since the temperature is a less-than-balmy 20 degrees, it was too icy and too cold to go down to the local pub.

UGH! I've done something I had hoped I wouldn't do! - Click!
I hate myspace. It has more cookies than a Mrs. Fields. But since I'm desperate to get some attention to this website and to myself, I had to swallow a tablespoon of codliver oil loaded with ADD causing advertisments and people whose HTML skill are so bad, Tim Berners-Lee needs to kick their ass.On the other hand, I could start up a group to bring down G4.
I'm tired right now. I'll deal with all that crap later.

Snakes on a DVD - Click!
I don't know why Hollywood takes a good idea for a campy cross-genre movie and try to destroy it even before it has the chance to be good.For anyone who did not read my blog entries back in August, Snakes on a Plane is an idea forged by a proud group of Internet nerds but smoothered by the mainstream.
The thing that continues to piss me off about these media folks is their "we came up with it" and "let's use the phrase 'snakes on a plane' as slang for 'C'est la vie'". It is this VH1-BS mentality that justifies such nimrods to have their lights knocked out. (NEVER EVER use "snakes on a plane" as slang for "C'est la vie" unless you're health insurance covers getting your ass kicked by geeks.)
Aside from that, I'm dissappointed that these movie makers decided to release Snakes well after the Christmas season. What revenue Snakes lacked in the box office it will surely make up on DVD like any good cult classic. Just look at Army of Darkness starring Bruce Campbell.
Probably the one problem with snakes for the dastardly group of people known as marketing folk is that Snakes was a cross-genre film. While Snakes qualifies as a campy horror flick, the demons in charge of marketing the film decided to label it as "Action-Adventure-Horror-Comedy-Thriller". In which on the DVD cover, it is called a "Action/Thriller". The truth is Snakes is a horror movie, plain and simple.
Like any horror movie, there are comedic scenes where the audience is fooled into thinking "Oh my God! It's something creapy at the door! Don't open it! etc." When in fact, the door opens and it's one of the protagonists. Added music and lighting also adds to this movie trick. The idea is to earn the audience's trust and to let their guard down. They know it's a horror movie. The came to see something spooky. And they assume that they know what will happen because they thinking they have seen it all before. Disengaging the audiences guard is important, because it reminds the audience with their know-it-all mentality that in fact they don't know jack.
This is what made people like Rod Sterling and Alfred Hitchcock successful writers. They take something ordinary that we think we know everything about and they show us that we know nothing about it, sort of like how the media thinks they know the audience but as we have learned they don't know their audience.
Because they don't know their audience, good TV shows get cancelled while crappy ones stay on the air. Because they don't know about their audience, news and information are dwarfed by celebrity gossip and crappy human interest stories. Because they don't know their audience, they think Midwestern folk (such as myself) are stupid and will buy anything that they tell us.
The media has no interest in keeping us informed or to help our country in times of conflict. Their only purpose is to distract us by entertaining us with stupid stories that they think will prevent people from creating their own ideas or thinking with cognitive reason while they exploit the downtrotten to make tons of money.
I don't know how many blog entries I have stated that in, but it bears repeating.
Anyway, pick up Snakes on a Plane on DVD and don't ever use "snakes on a plane" as a subsitute for "c'est la vie"!
