Wow…


Yeah… Read this and cry.

I apologize me for my bad English: Today I have been to have to whether to make with some clients that complained about the problems to the computers that have in endowment, affirming that they were restarted to the sudden one without any apparent explanation, causing losses of time and damages to the job, not allowing them to save the current document on which you/they were working (if they were me to feel when I say to save in cuntinuazione the changes everything this it would not happen!). I have wasted time to look for on Internet a program that made a will the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of their cars, submitting her to continuous and perpetual overloads to see if the problem was verified indeed. I looked for a type of called program benchmark that uses him really to make a will the CPU peripheral other e/o, so much to try to understand if the problemapotesse to be the same CPU, the mother card, the Hard Disk in state of terminal coma, or if it simply concerns the unhappy supply of PC choice!! To extreme evil extreme remedies are contrasted… always the benchmark the writing from me in Visual Basic: -)

Anyway – whatever that says…. I just thought it was interesting considering that the Hard Disk can go into a state of terminal coma! And the problemapotesse is the same as the CPU.

Lesson learned: Do not use online translators. It is not even possible for someone to write that. I can understand if someone says excuse my English and has some grammar mistakes. As long as it makes sense, I get the point. but when its complete nonsense, thing sget a little funny.


Unsecured Wifi May Be Outlawed in New York


According to a new proposal being considered in Westchester County, any business or home office with an open wireless connection but no separate server to fend off Internet attacks would be violating the law.

This is absolute nonsense. Anyone who votes in favor of this bill needs to get run over by a car. First of all 75% of people who buy wifi routers are n00bs who have no idea how to secure their network. It would be unfair to pass a law that punishes them. It is not possible to enforce this because so many people have unsecured networks and would be a waste of money. Second off, if people are too dumb to read the documentation and learn how to secure their wireless networks, then they deserve to have others access their network. Let’s make a simple analogy: If you were in the middle of the South Bronx, would you leave your car door open with the key in the ignition? Obviously no, because that’s just asking for some person to walk in and drive away with your car. Same thing goes for wireless – if it’s left vulnerable, you shouldn’t complain if people access it. Any open wireless access point should be considered public.

Politicians in Westchester County are urging adoption of the law–which appears to be the first such legislation in the U.S.–because without it, “somebody parked in the street or sitting in a neighboring building could hack into the network and steal your most confidential data,” County Executive Andy Spano said in a statement.

Andy Spano – resign immediately you ignorant fool. You obviously don’t know anything about computers so don’t make retarded ass statements, you nüb. If a wifi access point is unsecured, someone sitting in the street or in a neighboring building is not HACKING into the network and stealing confidential data. Because it’s unsecured, that means anyone can access it – you don’t have to be a hacker to get onto an open network. That’s like walking into CVS during store hours and getting arrested for burglary. You’re not breaking into the store, but rather shopping in the store. Second off, once you connect to someone’s wifi, chances are they’re too dumb to set up file sharing, so you probably would not be able to get their “most confidential data.” Most likely, you’re just using their Internet. Besides, anyone sophisticated enough to set up file sharing on a network would be smart enough to know that the wifi should be protected.

I’m not done with you asshole politicians in this dumbass county. Stop worrying about people’s wifi and start spending more time prosecuting sick ass online predators who attack and kill children. Worry about people selling crack in Mt. Vernon, worry about securing Indian Point. If I hop onto someone’s network, you’re basically saying I’m a criminal.

Also, Windows XP tends to connect to the strongest available network. So why should some noob be punished if their computer connects to some other person’s network without their knowledge. Smart people would check the XP wireless connection, but noobs would say “LYK ZOMGZ!!11one Teh internet is lyk working. I’m teh computer expert”

If I ever read another news story like again… I don’t even know what I’ll do. That’s how insane it is. This nonsense completely outrages me.

Halloween Pictures


Happy Halloween People (or what’s left of it). Pictures are up from today… Look at them over here. You can also see a 2 second video clip of Goober dressed up as Napoleon Dynamite over here. The gallery is not finished, I still need more pictures of people (including myself – YARRRRRR). So send them over.

Edit: No you can’t. I don’t do media anymore. Well I do, but not the way I used to. Deal with it.

Congratulations Chicago White Sox


As a Yankee fan, I’d like to congratulate the Chicago White Sox for winning the World Series. They haven’t done so in 88 years and I have specific reasoning for why I support the White Sox over the Astros.

First of all, I was watching ESPN, and there was this 96 year old man who was a kid when the White Sox won a World Series. Fox interviewed him and I figured that he’s old an probably won’t see this again in his life, so Chicago might as well win.

Most importantly, I’m glad the Astros lost for one reason – that Roger Clemens did NOT deserve a World Series ring. That old bag is a traitor to the Yankees and I lost all respect for him after he announced his retirement, then suddenly signed with the Astros. This clever scheme enabled him to leave the Yankees and return to his redneck land of Texas. Quick off topic side-note – David Wells went to Boston and was booed in Yankee Stadium. I still respect Wells because it was not his choice to leave, rather, Steinbrenner being a selfish fool (who spends hundreds of millions of dollars to lose)


More Ignorance


I HATE STUPIDITY.

I was enraged when I read the following bulletin that was posted on Myspace. How ignorant can people be? Read this nonsense:

Subject: Under age users

Hi Folks,
As you may have noticed, many myspaces have been deleted. This is due to the underage users that abuse the privileges of myspace. I understand that there are many memories from myspace that are irreplaceable so i lowered the age to 14. Please pass this on because we have attached a !!special tracking device!!. If you repost this, you will be safe from being deleted. If you don’t repost this, you will be tracked and your myspace will be searched throughly for underage users. Repost this message saying “Underage Users”. Thank you

Myspace Creator,
Tom

First of all, some moron writes something claiming to be Tom and everyone believes it. This is why phishing is so successful – people believe everything and give away their info. First of all, explain to me how can a !!special tracking device!! can be attached to a stupid website? There’s no such thing as a special tracking device. Even if there was one, how would it get your age? The only way people get their myspaces deleted are by RATS that report them. Otherwise, they don’t know if you’re 12, 18 or a 59 year old pedophile. Secondly, whats with the special !!exclamation points before and after!! the word tracking device? I don’t know what language you speak, but in English, one exclamation point goes after the sentence. But I’m sure that in dumbass-lish, it probably translates to “ZOMG this needs to lyk stand out. lyk OMGZs its lik 1300% true iffff notytt I’ll lyk dyyyyyEEEE” (Yeah that wasn’t supposed to make sense).

Anyway this rant is a follow up to my chain letter rant, because nothing pisses me off more than ignorant people who fall for internet rumors and keep reposting chain letters. Maybe if I got this once I’d let it slide, but when 30 people repost the same thing, it shows me that morons really believe that it’s true. The U.S. really need to make a law that bans these morons from the internet.

I hate Myspace. It’s corrupting people.
