I now have an office job where I can surf the internet at work all I want (Security) so I've increased my overall online time, while also increasing my overall work hours.
And yet the phone companies are no worse than the government when it comes to lying... and the American people happily pay to keep BOTH right where they are.
I dare say that the mentality that the government can control a private company to do as it demands by the use of force is a teensy bit more fascist than free men having the freedom to not comply.
Why should they have to? They're a private company. You don't own them. The government doesn't own them. It's not in their interest to help anyone but themselves.
I'm a geek and think Obama is a fucktard and wouldn't have voted for him for all the money in someone else's wallet that he'll be taking from them to give to people who don't do shit to help themselves.
I would, but I can't, it's family and despite not really liking them that much, I have this really odd compulsion to do what I can to make things better for them even if just a minor way.
I think I might have a conscience, or something. It's weird, at any rate.
I can use violence on one, the other is a whiny 15 year old girl. The media would love to talk about that one if I so much as gave her half the smacks in the head she needs.
That means waiting for this recent one to kick the bucket. All the previous ones have been cannibalized and their non-useful bits (Like crappy OEM motherboards) sent to the dungheap.
Another thing I forgot to mention a few comments ago - The reason I have to stop doing whatever I'm doing when my uncle comes in is because he throws huge fits whenever something isn't fixed immediately, or if he immediately breaks it after (Or, on occasion, if something just plain isn't fixable.) and tends to decide that whoever's responsible is no longer welcome in the house, and my aunt doesn't want that turned on me.
Especially since he has a tendency to get virii on his computer doing pretty much the exact same thing, and blames the kids' computer for giving it to him over the network... but given the once or twice I had to use his computer for something and the recent pages dropped down when I entered a URL... *shudder* He brings it on himself, too.
Blah.
Yeah, sorry for the ranting, but it's been bugging me and needed let out.
The initial problem is still there though - An inability to get it clean in the first place, due to user intervention.
Maybe I'll just steal their computer, tell them the virus completely nuked their hard drive, and start from scratch. DeepFreeze looks like a good nearly-idiot-proof option.
They'll probably murder me for losing a year's worth of MySpace angle pictures of groups of their idiotic teen friends if I do that though.
Agh, I just don't know. The damn kids run that house, so if I try to take their computer out of action and change anything on it, I'll be run out with pitchforks.
Maybe I'll just let them sit in their own muck. It's not REALLY my responsibility, after all.

You spend money on Facebook? Amateur.

And that's alright with me.
Look again.
One could even say they overlap perfectly.
Then they simply outlaw covering your face.

Funny how that works.

Ah yes, there's nothing more flamebait than the truth.
...at once, when the odds were stacked against him, and remember well what happened to him.

DON'T GIVE THEM IDEAS.

Weirdo.
And yet I'd still hit it.
They're just games, FFS.
If you've never seen a GSX-R powered go-kart, you may want to get a few tissues, some lotion, and head over to YouTube.

But it's a good idea, and I thank you for it. :)
Sorry, I made too many posts without infuriating anyone.
That one was just for you and your ilk! :D
I must admit, I'd buy and drive a Nano here in the US for in-town commuting.
But I'd totally shove a Hayabusa engine in it.

I don't think it'll work at this point, or I'd try it.
Actually now that I think about it, how is me taking their trash spending their money?
