Fireworks Should Not Be Illegal

What is the point of making fireworks illegal? I listened to the police radio for five minutes and almost threw up. The police wouldn’t shut up about sending cars to different locations for fireworks. Guess what? It’s the Fourth of July and no one gives a shit. Supposedly, New York made them illegal because too many people were injuring themselves. This is nonsense. If you hurt yourself on fireworks, it is because you’re a dumbass and lit a 2 inch fuse or forgot to run away. Even those sparklers are illegal, which is the dumbest thing ever. It doesn’t even blow up and is no more dangerous than a flame. Actually since it’s magnesium, its much brighter and hotter, but its the same crap. Why not just ban fire?

Why should I be banned from making a nice display and celebrating the 4th, because some stupid ass blew his balls off? When something is banned, people do it more, so there’s no point anyway. When I was in Virginia, I passed hundreds of little shacks along the side of the road selling fireworks. It was insane. You don’t hear those southern fools having any problems (other than rednecks, cotton and shotguns).

Mmm…Mercury

First off, if I wanted to eat mercury, I’d suck on a broken thermometer, but I don’t appreciate getting it from my food. Tuna + mercury = dead brain cells which makes you stupid, and mercury also causes birth defects. I don’t care if the government sets safe mercury limits in food for people. How about this – no mercury in my food is safe mercury. So no tuna (or swordfish, or whatever else is infected with mercury) for me. And these stupid ass pharmaceutical companies need to stop putting it into vaccines. I don’t care that your dumbass company wants to preserve it longer. You cheap fools are only concerned about profits and not about people. Stop giving kids autism and get that shit out of the vaccine.

Capitalism causes problems because all anyone sees is green… not what’s best for people. Why pay to dispose mercury properly when illegally dumping in the water is free? Instead of fining these corporations, we should take the people responsible and drown them in their mercury wastes. Why make vaccines last only for a few months when we can give them a shelf life of two years? Money is the answer – and it’s the wrong answer.

Spammer Fool

This post is designed to publicly humiliate a moron who registered three accounts on my website. These accounts have been registered by the same idiot: will – [email protected], willm – [email protected] and willmo – [email protected] Is there any need to have three different accounts on a stupid little blog?

Even though publishing these email addresses is probably useless (because anyone can make a fake yahoo account), I am doing this to prove that I will expose private information if you are a spamming asshole. Usually, the email addresses are not visible to the public, but I would like to personally acknowledge the fact that this pimp shizzle gangsta moron shouldn’t mess with Portfolioso. The accounts have been deleted and if the registration process continues to be abused, I’m disabling it.

Optimum Online Blocks Limewire

Edit: Limewire may or may not be blocked anymore. Some people are now reporting being able to connect.

It’s official. If you’re on Optimum Online, you won’t be connecting to Limewire’s network because they have taken measures to block all of peer to peer traffic. Besides Limewire, some other P2P applications are also affected.

In order to get around this, you kind of have to know what you are doing and it is beyond the basic skill level of average computer users. I am not giving detailed instructions here (Google it), but this is basic idea: 1) In Limewire options you have to change the default port. 2) Forward that port in your router control panel to the internal IP of the computer on your network.

This is completely uncool. Not all P2P traffic is illegal. There are perfectly legal things licensed under Creative Commons that are free to distribute (free internet shows, podcasts etc.). The whole point of P2P is not piracy, but rather to take a load off one central server and distribute the content among users. This is useful for linux distributions and other things of that nature. I lost most of my respect for Optimum Online and Cablevision as a result of this. For a while, I always thought cable was good because of it’s high speeds. However, many people started complaining that excessive bandwidth usage led to individual bandwidth capping restrictions. Optimum online is doing this because it is less expensive for them when customers use less bandwidth. And that is not the point of paying for internet access.

Gmail Chat Blocked

I logged into Gmail in school yesterday and was shocked. Apparently, the admins updated the 8e3 blocklist, which happened to block out gmail’s chat feature. How retarded is that?

 

Things our admins should not be worried about: blocking useless websites, NetSupport (the retarded program that is used to take over your computers/ spy on you), retarded restrictions like blocking view source, etc.

Things they should be worried about: nonexistent security (I’m just not going to get into that), viruses and broken computers.

Have fun…
