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.

PHP Broken

Update: Everything is working now. Thanks for the patience. And thanks to Rameez for pointing this issue out. if anything on this site ever breaks, let me know about it and I’ll take care of it. I’m so busy that I probably won’t notice things.

Php is all messed up on my server. My image gallery is not generating thumbnails and my uploader is broken.

Just a heads up. I have no control over this because I don’t have root access to the server. So the admins in Orlando will get to it when they can – I notified them.

Links Updated

I updated my links page because it needed a little work. For instance, there were dead links, dead pictures, some sites disappeared (WinMX) etc. There might be a new link or two here and there. I also reordered some links based on importance.

Check out some good sites here:http://portfolioso.com/links.php
