  1. Re:Mud! on FCC Boss Backs Metering the Internet · · Score: 2

    ABP and NoScript do a good job of blocking most content. For instance /. and even FB are ad free due to ABP.
    I am sure that OS updates will be a free charge depending on some sort of whitelist, but who knows? I am sure the FCC will get a kick back from the cable companies and tell the public to fuck off, eat your ads and OS updates.

    My life was shitty. So I bought a lamp and now I see exactly why it is shitty. I was tripping over shit in the dark.

  4. Re:Cross-referencing with Slashdot, not a troll on Depressed People Surf the Web Differently · · Score: 2

    I have a shit load of disposable income. So, that probably isn't it. I just choose not to socialize with people. It is the people 'out there' that irritate me. They are all fucking morons and I'd rather not talk to the lot of them. This is why I am single, haven't been laid in 5yrs and have no friends to speak of. I have a few coworkers I talk to on a daily basis, but ONLY while I am at work. While a home, I talk to no one. I barely ever talk to my parents. Maybe once a month and even less with my brothers. They all live in California and I live 1500mi away. Some nights are great, others I tend to cry myself to sleep. It's a bittersweet lifestyle.

  5. Re:So WTF do the non-depressed do with the interne on Depressed People Surf the Web Differently · · Score: 1

    That's what I did with 'Trailer Park Boys.' Of course, I finished all 7 seasons, the pilot and I think 3 other movies and the 'making of' AKA 'The Hearts of Dartmouth' in roughly 3weeks. Watched 2 seasons of 'Life After People' in 2 days, all 120(I don't remember the exact amount) episodes of 'The Twilight Zone' in one week and countless horror flicks from the last 12yrs in the last year. I moved to where I currently reside 7yrs ago, have met no one and it gives a lot of times for video entertainment and video games....fsck, I need a GF :/

    Yes. A Red Dragon to be specific. Rather rare in DW1.

  8. Dragon Warrior on Google Maps Introduces 8-Bit Quest Maps · · Score: 2

    And they used the best game they could have ever used to make this mapping system. DRAGON WARRIOR, ahhh nostalgia. Of course, I am wondering why they used the name 'Quest' for the mapping name. Is it because the name of Dragon Warrior was Dragon Quest before it came to the states....or some other reason?

    I still play ver. 1-4 on an NES Emulator on my phone. Currently I am at the last tower on DW2. This cracks me up or it is just too early on a Sunday morning?

  19. Bought a new TV and... on TV Isn't Broken, So Why Fix It? · · Score: 1

    ...never ended up watching more TV.
    I had a 27in CRT that I bought Nov. 1998 and I rarely ever watched TV even though I get around 1000+channels and the ones that are, in HD. I mainly played games on it.(Wii, PS2, etc)
    I went and bought a new 50" 3D HD in Sept. and I am not watching more TV than I used to, but I am hooking up my computer to it when I play PC games.

    Overall, TVs do have potential, but not with what is currently being aired. Change the programming to some quality stuff rather than unoriginal 'hey this is my job' reality crap and it might go somewhere.
