If they would get off their deadbeat asses and get the hackers out of Black Ops the game would be fun. Nothing wrecks a game like hackers. I think the problem is their prestige system. You level to 50, then reset back to level 1 for each level of prestige, and there is 15 levels. That's 750 levels unless my math is off this morning. I think you get tools that will blast away with hacks so they can prestige up. Of course they just might be a bunch of no skill punks with mommy's credit card to buy it from www.callofdutyhacks.com. Its probably a combination of the two.
Until they can prove they can keep these punk cocksuckers out, they can forget getting my dollar.
BUT, if that is what it takes to insure my game is hacker free, I would pay twice that.
Should we cut them off from the food out here in the Country that we produce for them until they develop an appreciation for it? Every time I see a city, I think of how artificial it is and how it cannot sustain its self. I think of them as abominations upon the landscape. Filled with a ratball of humanity that serves no real purpose other than to feed and amuse its self. I can't help but think some intelligent life form is going to pass by Earth, take note and vaporize each one, removing the cancer they are from a suffering planet.
My fear though is, they might pay attention to the city dwellers and decide the entire race has to go for the sake of the universe.
Where its seriously wrong is its a reinforcement of the personification of a villain who has creepy people who idolize this sort of behavior. This shit should have all ended up in a dumpster some place instead of glorified like this. I would think the victims would recoil in horror at being giving money from creeps who idolize this guy and his stuff. It seems like a slap in the face, if the victims need money, shouldn't someone have helped them by now instead of waiting for this creepy auction to bear fruit?
What this says to future psychopaths is hey, you will be famous and even your crap will become valuable like some weird rock star. Its not only creepy, but I think its highly irresponsible behavior on behalf of authorities. Taunting the criminally insane doesn't seem very wise either. What if the next one decides to ratchet the stakes up out of spite and give us all something to really whine about.
That is all fine and dandy, but anyone can go interview lunatics and come up with "research" and something that resembles a "story". What next, run to the nursing homes and start "documenting" and "researching"? I have a father who has Parkinsons and he will give you all sorts of "first hand accounts" of how "aliens have infected our blood supplies" and how he is still on a secret mission for Jack Kennedy. Sweet Jesus, I should be writing this all down and making bank on a book to the retards in today's reading clime.
Seriously, as much as geeks want it to be so, Area 51, Roswell and Aliens, Russians and all the trimmings does NOT make for real journalism. Its pandering to the lunatic fringe for money, simple as that. Its not only pathetic and sad, but it also raises moral questions as to should people feed rumors that obviously aren't conducive to good mental health for those who are deluded by it. Way to reinforce these lunatics by giving them any ink.
You don't need a gun to make a war against a people, to enslave them and drive them under your heel into the dirt. These fuckers have done what no army in the world could have done. We have fought war after war, against all kinds of enemies and and none of them have done the damage that these bastards have done to our Constitution. Are we so undereducated and idiotic that we have to ignore history when this kind of thing happens in a country?
I lived through the cold war, and remember it well. We faced down vodka swilling soviets pounding on their tables at the UN with their shoes. We dealt with the KGB, which is infinitely more slippery and deadly than all of these terrorists put together. We didn't pussy out and hand over our civil liberties then.
One attack and we hand over our liberties like a bunch of stupid pussies. One attack, and the Constitution gets thrown out the window. 10 years later, the damn thing should expire, but NO, we will NEVER be safe, there will always be some fucked up excuse for authoritarians to keep throttling the Constitution into the dust.
I really didn't think our founding fathers could envision their descendants being a bunch of cowardly idiots that would allow something so blatantly Anti-American to happen. They figured we would have to be invaded, or taken over by a foreign power before our Constitution would be so trashed. Had they known we would have turned into a bunch of ratfuck cowardly pussies that let traitors like this get away with such crap, they would have spelled it our very clear what to do. How could they have known? We couldn't have envisioned this 30 years ago, you would have been laughed out of town if you predicted crap like this happening.
4 more years you say? Well that is long enough, there will be nobody left to fight it by then. Fighting this will be seen as "a threat" and they can whisk away "enemies" and there isn't shit you can do about it. Welcome to the dark, fucked up future, where we were all collective idiotic pussies that handed over our liberties. If you retarded lemmings don't think so, get back to me in 4 years, when Liberty and Freedom will indeed be a fading dream even in the minds of the staunchest Patriot.
The next step, mark my words, is our "American Terrorists". Let's shake the dice and see who comes up at the next "Enemy de Jour", shall we start on Fundamental Christians? We've been marginalizing them in the media for quite a while, they look like easy pickings. Who else? Liberals? They have all those "socialistic and communistic" ideals, lets get them before they get us. Oh, I know, crazed Mexican drug gangs! Yes, we have a winner!
"your papers please", get used to it. Get used to shit like the TSA being EVERYWHERE.
I might suggest taking that map along if you experiment with wormhole or quantum accelerator technologies. That is only if you get lost and have any desired to return home. Then again, torch it if you think your about to be captured. After all Hawkins thinks they will be hostile when "they" get here. He also thinks there is no God. I think he suffers from "angry-cripple-syndrome" where the sufferer's point of view is tainted by his miserable existence, hence his bleak outlook.
You might try looking into if they were threatened with some secret "patriot act" horseshit. The fucking Feds have left the reservation on this one, folks. Our military is not home to protect us, and I am not sure if they would protect us from them. How often have they polled our military on "would you shoot American Civilians if ordered". Eventually, they will get enough positive numbers to give them balls to try even more crap. We have Generals that would probably love to shove this Patriot Act crap down some treasonous politicians throats with a rifle butt, but are these particular Generals conveniently deployed in some trumped up war?
How big of a treasonous dick do they need to stuff in our asses before we start to do something about this?
I think I would fucking snap if I had to fly these days. I flown a lot when I was young, in the service. Planes got hijacked now and then, nobody got excited about it. Not like this. The painfully simple solutions are always ignored. Put a door on the cockpit and don't open the fucking thing, and let the pilots/copilot carry a gun. But no, we lose all common sense and throw our civil liberties our founding fathers died for out the window like a bunch of pussies.
Frankly, I couldn't do this shit. They are NOT going to fucking pat me down like I am a criminal. They can fuck themselves, for I will refer to the 4th Amendment, and I will tell them I am a Vet, and a law abiding citizen. If they can't tell me from their "terrorists" then too fucking bad. I am sure the cocksuckers will bum rush me, throttle me to the ground and drag me off for interrogation. I may or may not ever be released. I am sure they will piss me off enough while man handling me to call them all Traitors and tell them they had better not EVER let me go if they have any sense of self preservation.
We haven't had this kind of intrusive rat bastard government on our asses since the British were here a couple of hundred years ago. Frankly we had more balls back then, but I will admit we've become a bunch of cleverly manipulated and brainwashed sheeple. I can't expect any REAL PATRIOTS to stand up out of this collective bunch of pussies. Fuck! Why couldn't they have done this 20 years ago, when I was more spry?
Texas needs to lead this nation in balls, and come back with even harsher legislation in regards to this Treasonous horseshit. Texans need to drag those pussies that caved in out of office. This TSA shit is nothing more than authoritarianism shoving it's cock down your throat, proving it can do so to your psychological make up. For nutless idiot lemmings, it might make them feel safe knowing someone is manhandling them for their own good, but not me. Fuck off!
Please Texas, don't pussy out on this one. We can do another Alamo if have to, people will come to support you. Like real heroes did in the days of the Alamo, they came from around the land to come fight in Texas. Draw a line in the dirt, see who stands on which side. Succeed if you have to, or not. Just don't pussy out and embarrass your forefathers.
The rest are guilty of High Treason against the Constitution in my opinion. They should be arrested, tried, and when found convicted publicly executed for the world to see what happens when you attack the Constitution of the United States like this. We kill "terrorists" who do less against us. Terrorists might kill a few of us, knock down some buildings, but they don't DESTROY OUR CONSTITUTION. That has to be done by traitors HERE, not there.
Can't we Grand Jury indite every damn one of them for this when they set foot back home in their perspective states? Not only do we need to recall each one of them, but we need to prosecute each one of them. That oath to protect the Constitution isn't some formality, its vital and sacred. These fuckers need to be taught that and in a lesson hard enough that any fuckers in the future think twice about violating it again.
Sweet Jesus! Wow! We are seriously fucked! They have lost their fucking minds on us. Mark my words, we are all under the gun on this one.
Get this people, they can "classify" any horseshit they want. They have just pissed all over the Constitution with this crap. What an Orwellian nightmare this is! What a bunch of pussies we are for letting this happen! We have to fire every one of these fuckers that voted for this. We have to put some people in that will overturn this shit. I am not talking later, but NOW. Look into recalling each and every one of these pricks. It's that or be cursed by your descendants for letting this shit happen.
This act is one of the greatest violations of our Constitution I have ever seen or ever heard of in our history. To allow it was insanity that capitalized on a weak moment in our history. To continue it is nothing less than treason. Why haven't these people been arrested and tried for treason? Where is our Military which is sworn to protect our Constitution from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC? They could snatch up these traitors and hold them while our high courts try them.
Oh yeah, they are out fighting wars that aren't Constitutionally viable. Shall we just call it as it is and render the Constitution dead?
Nothing screams "reptile brained monkeys" like human greed. Our system takes greed and puts it on steroids and attempts to hose every living creature for every drop of worth they can for the least amount in exchange. Yes, I remember being burned for 25 cents on up per minute to use POTS. It was like we were all dumb enough to pay them for the "magic call box", they did it as long as they could. And everyone cheers them on and wants to be just like them. It's like being born and raised in Hell, you don't know any better.
My idea is NetFlicks is putting the major burn to every cable company and their cronies want the hammer dropped on them in any avenue possible. Imagine how great it is to be able to just watch your awesome little phone like a TV? Better than "TV" because you can watch WTF you want, when you want it. But this isn't about you getting what you want or even pay for. This is about you being a good little zombie and being farmed for all that you are worth. They want to continue making a fortune off of you from their old tech that has already made them fortunes. That's the bitch about corporations, they can be owned and orchestrated from higher up. This means the entire landscape can be orchestrated to farm us all. This is where the irony is so fucking thick it would kill if it was comedy. All of this happens in "land of the free". Hey, fuckers, you are anything but free.
The only problems we ever see is the want-to-be hive mind of the corporate hydra having internal conflict with its own stupidity. Once it sorts things out, it sics its toady pet governments into action to enforce their will. There is no legitimate excuse for WTF they do with this issue, they are just testing the waters to see how far they can plunge it into us. Its like gasoline prices. They find out just how far they can press the issue before the lemmings become restless.
IT is a tricky crowd to nail down in economic oppression and totalitarianism, you put the squeeze to them, they invent new ways to burn you back. Its best to wait for them to make products that the lemmings can't live without and nail the zombies. They will squeeze the zombies until they cry, then squeeze them until they shut up.
These caps are just the beginning, don't expect to change it, except for the worse. It time to milk the zombies.
Don't think so? Gasoline shouldn't be more than 25 cents a gallon. Seriously, I watched this happen over the years. Who the fuck do they think they are trying to fool? You can't fool everyone all the time. Gas was 25 cents a gallon and there wasn't a shortage. There never was a fucking shortage, nor probably ever will there be a real shortage in even our grandkid's lives. Its all about manipulation of idiot lemmings. They found out we are all dependent enough, and stupid enough to pay whatever they charge for gas, so here we are at $4 a gallon instead of 25 cents.
Unless they have High Def support somehow, I will probably just serve files over to my PS3. But...
I have already modded my old xbox and it will be interesting to see WTF they have done to it. The modding of it was lightyears ahead of time as far as a kick ass media center. I put a chip in mine and that was a learning experience. I first started with the piece of shit solder-less adapter for the chip, and it was a train wreck of a product. I ended up soldering it in, and that was my first soldering job. Watching youtube for soldering instructions helped a lot.
The gist of it is, you put a chip in, then you can take out the 2gig hard drive and drop a big hard drive in it. There you can transfer your MP3s and AVIs and whatnot over to it and it's like a jukebox. I was never much into console games with that platform, so I didn't collect every game they had on it floating around in newsgroups or torrents. They did have some great emulators where you could play every old video game from like the 80s and 90s and such. There are outrageous amounts of old computer games like that lying around in collections of hundreds if not thousands each. Game overload IMHO.
Leave it to Microsoftbrains to ignore this great feature their customers generated up. Instead of running with that brilliant idea and make it all legal for users and make a shitload of money in process, they let it slip by with a big fat "DERP" collectively floating out of their lips.
Sorry, I got off on a tangent/rant. Planetside was awesome. Like I said, WAS, awesome, but you are right, SOE ruined it. These companies have absolutely no respect at all for the gamers. I have so fantasized about me traveling to one of their corporate HQs and do a terminator on them. In my mind I have killed them all a dozen times. Where else on planet Earth can you spend so much time on something and get blatantly fucked in the ass by the powers that be?
If Sporting franchises pulled ANY of the crap that these game companies pull, Congress would be all over them. Imagine if you would the NFL changing the rules so that teams that are winning couldn't throw the ball anymore? Or what if they just took some of your most important players away from you, no explanation, just right in the middle of the play offs, yank them out and tell you "TOS, we are god, fuck off".
Or the car analogy, you buy a Corvette and in the middle of the night Chevy comes and takes out the V8 and drops in a 4 cylinder put put motor? It sounds ludicrous, but that is the gaming world. Gamers endure ignorant arbitrary decisions that effect months if not years of their efforts. How would that play out in any sport? There would be damn riots in the streets and cities burning to the ground if you did that to Soccer.
So is it any damn wonder that the nerds get pisT and knee cap the fuck out of one of these asshat companies via the Internet? No, and it's not going to get any better until justice is done. GAMERS RIGHTS NOW!
I think its time for everyone to take their PS3s and games back to wherever they purchased them and demand their money back. In my case it would be Wal-Mart, I know, i should burn in hell for shopping there, but I live in the boondocks and they have ran everyone else out of business.
Across the board, game systems, PCs, all games are under attack from hackers/cheaters. Black Ops was hacked 2 hours before it was released in the US they claim. I believe it. Being an old vet of FPS's I know when someone shot me with a wall hack or aimbot. You can see it on the replay, nobody has that kind of intuition to turn and accurately shoot that well. Watch players who don't cheat, they are comical a lot of times. It's the guys who kill you with one shot from across the map through a window, into the weeds you are hiding in, with effectively a BB gun, all with the speed and precision of a Terminator. Then you watch as suddenly they flip a grenade that lands perfectly over some walls and stuff and kills half your team, not just ONCE, but gets grenade kills ever time they throw one. Normal people throw one and they are lucky if it doesn't bounce back and roll right under them. Boom! "Mistakes were made!"
I am done buying games that have no security from hackers. I wrote STEAM about VAC and it's "crickets" from them. I told them I wasn't impressed with their performance once they took over TFC. Punkbuster used to keep the hackers down to a dull roar. VAC to me is a fucking bad joke, I had been away for so long that I had forgot how bad. I must have been optimistic, but BZZZZZT....wrong again. They still obviously suck.
I have been bitching for a "Bill of Rights" for Gamers. We have all be seriously fucked over by these punk game companies far too long. The first company that keeps the cheaters out and NEVER fucks you over with nerfs, they will get my money and loyalty. Until then, they can collectively suck my dick, no more money for all of them.
I can't believe they have the balls to do that! Or the stupidity, this sets a precedence that will allow pigs to do as they please. It makes moot any case against an illegal entry by law enforcement because now there IS NO ILLEGAL entry by law enforcement.
These judges need replaced now. We have a choice, we can amend our Constitution so that we can remove them either personally with amendments just for each one, or we make provisions to remove judges that cross Constitutional lines. This being a case where the Judges have urinated all over the Constitution and sit there defiant of it.
We cannot let this stand, if we do, we are cursed. I think collectively we are screwed, we have no sense of community enough to stand up against this kind of tyranny, so it's going to take individuals to fight this.
Let's just hope they get heavy handed with it right off the bat. That way they fuck with the wrong person and we get at last some brave soul to kick off the 2nd American Revolutionary War.
Let them fall apart and feed on each other like the animals they are. Offer up some of them incentive to turn on each other, and lets make a horror story/cautionary tale out of all of them. Decent people don't operate from veiled threats like punks. They screwed with ME when they hacked Sony. Before I didn't give a fuck about them or their baby games, but now, FUCK THEM. We need to lock down this wild west show known as the Internet. Its full of criminals that we can't find or track down. The music industry, and movie industry are about toast from all the thieves. The game industry is in shambles from trying to cope with thieves and asshats that hack their games then flood the cheat/hacks out to every jackassed punk.
It needs to be a global, multinational effort, with no place to run or hide. And cocksmoke countries like China that encourage it's people to constantly probe our cyber defense, we lob thermal nukes at them until either they get the picture or they are all dead. BTW, here is a genius idea a friend of mine had for dealing with these Chinese hackers trying to probe your system/network. You let them in a port with some stupidly simple permutation that only a moron would put on. When they get in, they get the "welcome file" that is chocked full of western propaganda, thus flagging themselves via their own "great fire wall of china". If it doesn't flag them, we have really great propaganda, it might screw them up..lol.
It's time for the anonymity to stop all around. It will help save the children. (lol) I am more interested in stopping the "Internet Douchbag" effect, where people hide behind their computer and say the most fucked up shit they would NEVER dream of saying to anyone in real life without getting throttled to death with their own shoes. If you are an asshole to someone on the Internet, they should know who you are immediately. I think after about a year or so of the mayhem that would occur, people would settle down and act like civilized human beings. It's like my driving axiom "Unleashed Road Rage Cures Road Asshole-ishness". Perhaps after Mom and Dad watch in the news were a couple got throttled along with their punk kid for basically letting their punk kid run their mouth to the wrong people, they will get off their ass and check out what their heathen hellspawn punk kids are doing online.
Or one would know where that red neck retard lives at, the one that screams shit on voice chat, loves Fox News and Bush. The one that drawls out that Southern accent so bad that God curb stomps 12 kittens every time he hears it. I know it would raise a conundrum of choosing between tasking an Air Group to carpet bomb the entire area code for the sake of the gene pool, or surgical strike armed with a wooden spoon. (Slow death via wooden spoon is the gist)
Of course, my ways might be considered a bit harsh by some. Nobody seems to like my ideas for getting our prison population under control. I say to save money, promote obedience and fear in the public, and reduce the size of all of our prisons down to only ONE that we do this: we feed prisoners other prisoners. Just put guards on the wall, open the cells and let them decide democratically who gets ate. We could sell this on Pay-Per-View and generate revenue.
I see it now, Bill has been home too long watching Myth Busters, now he wants a Federal Version of it. I bet he daydreams of hiring the Myth Busters guys to head the department. Are you inhaling now Bill?
On a serious note he does have something of a point. But I don't think he's going in the right direction. We need draconian measures, but we aren't going to get them for a while. It's going to take something really crazy to scare the government into putting the serious clamps down on the wild west version of the Internet we currently have. I can see it all coming at the same time, World ID cards, forget national, why piddle with that?
On a serious note, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't claim to be a "free country", yet do something draconian to the Internet. Not without enough cognitive dissidence to cause some people to utterly snap. Me being one of them. I will probably flip out and think I am in a PVP Minecraft server and start digging straight down.
They could pass some gamers' rights laws and I would be extremely happy. Laws for dealing with companies who twist the rules around, nerf things, making them worthless, and for people who hack games and cheat, not to mention people who write viruses and people who spam. Personally, if they get rid of the cheaters in my games, I don't care what they do. I have paid for so many games only to have them cracked and full of cheaters, there should be a law! lol Oh I really love their reasoning for cheating, "I am smart because I cheat, I get away with it, so I do it." To me that cries out for their parents to be lined up against the wall and shot.
What kind of heathen rat bastards are these little monsters growing up to be? Just think, these twisted kids will be in charge some day. If you can't trust their basic character in something like a game, you sure as shit can't trust their behavior else where. We give all sorts of positive reinforcement to this completely warped behavior and thinking. Establishing poor behavior habits and pattern in our kids is some serious parental neglect. When I see most of the criminals today, I see shipwrecked jobs at parenting overall.
I would imagine most parents who set down with their children for a board game would be horrified to see their child cheat at the game, and then remark how dumb you are for not cheating. Then start smack talking you for even bringing it up. If I did that, my Dad would have punched me right off the planet, I would still be sailing through outer space somewhere. Yet, this is the behavior our kids and sadly teens, young adults and creepy guys who live in their mother's basement, engage in on a regular basis.
This is what happens in our society of greed now. Two income families for lifestyles they feel they are entitled too, but the children are not parented, this will come to bite us hard on the ass. Latchkey kids, or raised by other family members, or some daycare center. Then the Internet raises them once they can be entrusted not to burn the neighborhood down if left alone. This is why we have lazy assed parents whining "for the children" when the fuckers should be tending to this themselves. It doesn't take village to raise a child, it takes PARENTS. If you think that "the village" can be intrusted to raising your kids, you shouldn't have kids period. Ever.
Besides, the old axiom is "don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see." Any information read has to be taken with a grain of salt that it might not be true. Even hard facts are often proven wrong, so a person should have an open mind. Also, sometimes when you see something, you don't see the "whole picture" and can still not have all the facts of the matter. Applying some healthy skeptical caution about one's information across the board in life is a good thing. Why should the Internet be any different? Most of us already know a large percentage of what we encounter on the Internet is pure bullshit.
It would be a wonderful thing what he proposed, but human history has a bad track record of "well intended" policies turning into monsters given time.
Seriously fuck Steam and Valve. Their anti cheat systems are a fucking joke. Of course the internet has a generation of cunts that think cheating is clever that support this kind of bullshit. Nothing like shelling out good money for a game to find out that it was hacked before it was even released.
check out www.callofdutyhacks.com This place seriously pisses me off. Call of Duty: Black Ops, hacked all to hell. After this fucked up deal of Black Ops, I will never buy shit from Steam or Valve ever again.
Where is your vision man? I would wager you are a conservative Republican with a mind like that.
I am thinking if they get an Android App for it, it could seriously take off. Fuck yeah! Be the first coffee shop to take bitcoins for a coffee. It just takes a few to brave the new frontier, and it will be off and running like a scalded cat. If it has ONE iota of exchange, others will want a piece of the pie. (literally..along with their coffee)
Let me enlighten you if I possibly can to what he means by thinking outside the box and ending up in Gitmo. It's about not being a fucking lemming your entire life much to the collective disgust of the universe. It's the information age and its time for an evolution of our government to match it. Lets face it, how we've been doing things is really seriously fucked, and it will continue to be fucked as long as we let it. It's OUR responsibility to take charge of not only our own lives, but to do so collectively.
If this system is what it's cracked up to be, it's light years ahead of our current system as far as freedom and democracy for the people. Again, if it's viable, it's too late, the idea and thought of it is already out there. To try to squash it has a high probability of failure and a higher probability of severe if not deadly backlash. Ignoring it would be the best idea, and perhaps people's fear of something new will let it die on the vine. If they react to it, it will only validate it and attract more unwanted attention to it.
So, naysayers like you are probably the best friend of the current powers that be. If you are content with your current Overlords, then by all means defend them, you can dream of them petting you on the head. Personally, a life never risked in hopes of progress, is no life at all.
I think after looking it over some more with my think-tank, if it's viable, it's time to jump the hell right in with it. Offering up product right now would be ideal, something electronically generated would be perfect. Getting in on the ground floor of anything is great if it pans out. I am sure Google, was looked at with some criticizing eyes when it started. I have seen so much tech come and go and stay, and it's fun to watch.
This will also definitely send the powers that be off the deep end. "Sweet Jesus, the Interwebs is taking over MONEY! RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!1111!!!"
It would take the complete destruction of P2P, which might set us all the fuck off. Ok a few of us, nobody born in the last four decades has an ounce of balls between all of them.
Slashdot Mirror
If they would get off their deadbeat asses and get the hackers out of Black Ops the game would be fun. Nothing wrecks a game like hackers. I think the problem is their prestige system. You level to 50, then reset back to level 1 for each level of prestige, and there is 15 levels. That's 750 levels unless my math is off this morning. I think you get tools that will blast away with hacks so they can prestige up. Of course they just might be a bunch of no skill punks with mommy's credit card to buy it from www.callofdutyhacks.com. Its probably a combination of the two.
Until they can prove they can keep these punk cocksuckers out, they can forget getting my dollar.
BUT, if that is what it takes to insure my game is hacker free, I would pay twice that.
Yul Brenner movie, I can't help think of this when I read this.
Etc..etc..etc...
Should we cut them off from the food out here in the Country that we produce for them until they develop an appreciation for it? Every time I see a city, I think of how artificial it is and how it cannot sustain its self. I think of them as abominations upon the landscape. Filled with a ratball of humanity that serves no real purpose other than to feed and amuse its self. I can't help but think some intelligent life form is going to pass by Earth, take note and vaporize each one, removing the cancer they are from a suffering planet.
My fear though is, they might pay attention to the city dwellers and decide the entire race has to go for the sake of the universe.
Where its seriously wrong is its a reinforcement of the personification of a villain who has creepy people who idolize this sort of behavior. This shit should have all ended up in a dumpster some place instead of glorified like this. I would think the victims would recoil in horror at being giving money from creeps who idolize this guy and his stuff. It seems like a slap in the face, if the victims need money, shouldn't someone have helped them by now instead of waiting for this creepy auction to bear fruit?
What this says to future psychopaths is hey, you will be famous and even your crap will become valuable like some weird rock star. Its not only creepy, but I think its highly irresponsible behavior on behalf of authorities. Taunting the criminally insane doesn't seem very wise either. What if the next one decides to ratchet the stakes up out of spite and give us all something to really whine about.
That is all fine and dandy, but anyone can go interview lunatics and come up with "research" and something that resembles a "story". What next, run to the nursing homes and start "documenting" and "researching"? I have a father who has Parkinsons and he will give you all sorts of "first hand accounts" of how "aliens have infected our blood supplies" and how he is still on a secret mission for Jack Kennedy. Sweet Jesus, I should be writing this all down and making bank on a book to the retards in today's reading clime.
Seriously, as much as geeks want it to be so, Area 51, Roswell and Aliens, Russians and all the trimmings does NOT make for real journalism. Its pandering to the lunatic fringe for money, simple as that. Its not only pathetic and sad, but it also raises moral questions as to should people feed rumors that obviously aren't conducive to good mental health for those who are deluded by it. Way to reinforce these lunatics by giving them any ink.
Are we talking about the LA Times that slightly overshadows The Enquirer in reputation of truth? Sarcasm or did I fall into some cosmic bunny hole?
Yes, much like douche bag MacArthur telling Truman it'd be be grand idea to drop up to 50 nukes on China.
I am missing how that would have been a bad idea. In fact, I still think it would be a great idea.
You don't need a gun to make a war against a people, to enslave them and drive them under your heel into the dirt. These fuckers have done what no army in the world could have done. We have fought war after war, against all kinds of enemies and and none of them have done the damage that these bastards have done to our Constitution. Are we so undereducated and idiotic that we have to ignore history when this kind of thing happens in a country?
I lived through the cold war, and remember it well. We faced down vodka swilling soviets pounding on their tables at the UN with their shoes. We dealt with the KGB, which is infinitely more slippery and deadly than all of these terrorists put together. We didn't pussy out and hand over our civil liberties then.
One attack and we hand over our liberties like a bunch of stupid pussies. One attack, and the Constitution gets thrown out the window. 10 years later, the damn thing should expire, but NO, we will NEVER be safe, there will always be some fucked up excuse for authoritarians to keep throttling the Constitution into the dust.
I really didn't think our founding fathers could envision their descendants being a bunch of cowardly idiots that would allow something so blatantly Anti-American to happen. They figured we would have to be invaded, or taken over by a foreign power before our Constitution would be so trashed. Had they known we would have turned into a bunch of ratfuck cowardly pussies that let traitors like this get away with such crap, they would have spelled it our very clear what to do. How could they have known? We couldn't have envisioned this 30 years ago, you would have been laughed out of town if you predicted crap like this happening.
4 more years you say? Well that is long enough, there will be nobody left to fight it by then. Fighting this will be seen as "a threat" and they can whisk away "enemies" and there isn't shit you can do about it. Welcome to the dark, fucked up future, where we were all collective idiotic pussies that handed over our liberties. If you retarded lemmings don't think so, get back to me in 4 years, when Liberty and Freedom will indeed be a fading dream even in the minds of the staunchest Patriot.
The next step, mark my words, is our "American Terrorists". Let's shake the dice and see who comes up at the next "Enemy de Jour", shall we start on Fundamental Christians? We've been marginalizing them in the media for quite a while, they look like easy pickings. Who else? Liberals? They have all those "socialistic and communistic" ideals, lets get them before they get us. Oh, I know, crazed Mexican drug gangs! Yes, we have a winner!
"your papers please", get used to it. Get used to shit like the TSA being EVERYWHERE.
I might suggest taking that map along if you experiment with wormhole or quantum accelerator technologies. That is only if you get lost and have any desired to return home. Then again, torch it if you think your about to be captured. After all Hawkins thinks they will be hostile when "they" get here. He also thinks there is no God. I think he suffers from "angry-cripple-syndrome" where the sufferer's point of view is tainted by his miserable existence, hence his bleak outlook.
Anyway..hows this load into my GPS?
You might try looking into if they were threatened with some secret "patriot act" horseshit. The fucking Feds have left the reservation on this one, folks. Our military is not home to protect us, and I am not sure if they would protect us from them. How often have they polled our military on "would you shoot American Civilians if ordered". Eventually, they will get enough positive numbers to give them balls to try even more crap. We have Generals that would probably love to shove this Patriot Act crap down some treasonous politicians throats with a rifle butt, but are these particular Generals conveniently deployed in some trumped up war?
How big of a treasonous dick do they need to stuff in our asses before we start to do something about this?
I think I would fucking snap if I had to fly these days. I flown a lot when I was young, in the service. Planes got hijacked now and then, nobody got excited about it. Not like this. The painfully simple solutions are always ignored. Put a door on the cockpit and don't open the fucking thing, and let the pilots/copilot carry a gun. But no, we lose all common sense and throw our civil liberties our founding fathers died for out the window like a bunch of pussies.
Frankly, I couldn't do this shit. They are NOT going to fucking pat me down like I am a criminal. They can fuck themselves, for I will refer to the 4th Amendment, and I will tell them I am a Vet, and a law abiding citizen. If they can't tell me from their "terrorists" then too fucking bad. I am sure the cocksuckers will bum rush me, throttle me to the ground and drag me off for interrogation. I may or may not ever be released. I am sure they will piss me off enough while man handling me to call them all Traitors and tell them they had better not EVER let me go if they have any sense of self preservation.
We haven't had this kind of intrusive rat bastard government on our asses since the British were here a couple of hundred years ago. Frankly we had more balls back then, but I will admit we've become a bunch of cleverly manipulated and brainwashed sheeple. I can't expect any REAL PATRIOTS to stand up out of this collective bunch of pussies. Fuck! Why couldn't they have done this 20 years ago, when I was more spry?
Texas needs to lead this nation in balls, and come back with even harsher legislation in regards to this Treasonous horseshit. Texans need to drag those pussies that caved in out of office. This TSA shit is nothing more than authoritarianism shoving it's cock down your throat, proving it can do so to your psychological make up. For nutless idiot lemmings, it might make them feel safe knowing someone is manhandling them for their own good, but not me. Fuck off!
Please Texas, don't pussy out on this one. We can do another Alamo if have to, people will come to support you. Like real heroes did in the days of the Alamo, they came from around the land to come fight in Texas. Draw a line in the dirt, see who stands on which side. Succeed if you have to, or not. Just don't pussy out and embarrass your forefathers.
The rest are guilty of High Treason against the Constitution in my opinion. They should be arrested, tried, and when found convicted publicly executed for the world to see what happens when you attack the Constitution of the United States like this. We kill "terrorists" who do less against us. Terrorists might kill a few of us, knock down some buildings, but they don't DESTROY OUR CONSTITUTION. That has to be done by traitors HERE, not there.
Can't we Grand Jury indite every damn one of them for this when they set foot back home in their perspective states? Not only do we need to recall each one of them, but we need to prosecute each one of them. That oath to protect the Constitution isn't some formality, its vital and sacred. These fuckers need to be taught that and in a lesson hard enough that any fuckers in the future think twice about violating it again.
Sweet Jesus! Wow! We are seriously fucked! They have lost their fucking minds on us. Mark my words, we are all under the gun on this one.
Get this people, they can "classify" any horseshit they want. They have just pissed all over the Constitution with this crap. What an Orwellian nightmare this is! What a bunch of pussies we are for letting this happen! We have to fire every one of these fuckers that voted for this. We have to put some people in that will overturn this shit. I am not talking later, but NOW. Look into recalling each and every one of these pricks. It's that or be cursed by your descendants for letting this shit happen.
This act is one of the greatest violations of our Constitution I have ever seen or ever heard of in our history. To allow it was insanity that capitalized on a weak moment in our history. To continue it is nothing less than treason. Why haven't these people been arrested and tried for treason? Where is our Military which is sworn to protect our Constitution from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC? They could snatch up these traitors and hold them while our high courts try them.
Oh yeah, they are out fighting wars that aren't Constitutionally viable. Shall we just call it as it is and render the Constitution dead?
Nothing screams "reptile brained monkeys" like human greed. Our system takes greed and puts it on steroids and attempts to hose every living creature for every drop of worth they can for the least amount in exchange. Yes, I remember being burned for 25 cents on up per minute to use POTS. It was like we were all dumb enough to pay them for the "magic call box", they did it as long as they could. And everyone cheers them on and wants to be just like them. It's like being born and raised in Hell, you don't know any better.
My idea is NetFlicks is putting the major burn to every cable company and their cronies want the hammer dropped on them in any avenue possible. Imagine how great it is to be able to just watch your awesome little phone like a TV? Better than "TV" because you can watch WTF you want, when you want it. But this isn't about you getting what you want or even pay for. This is about you being a good little zombie and being farmed for all that you are worth. They want to continue making a fortune off of you from their old tech that has already made them fortunes. That's the bitch about corporations, they can be owned and orchestrated from higher up. This means the entire landscape can be orchestrated to farm us all. This is where the irony is so fucking thick it would kill if it was comedy. All of this happens in "land of the free". Hey, fuckers, you are anything but free.
The only problems we ever see is the want-to-be hive mind of the corporate hydra having internal conflict with its own stupidity. Once it sorts things out, it sics its toady pet governments into action to enforce their will. There is no legitimate excuse for WTF they do with this issue, they are just testing the waters to see how far they can plunge it into us. Its like gasoline prices. They find out just how far they can press the issue before the lemmings become restless.
IT is a tricky crowd to nail down in economic oppression and totalitarianism, you put the squeeze to them, they invent new ways to burn you back. Its best to wait for them to make products that the lemmings can't live without and nail the zombies. They will squeeze the zombies until they cry, then squeeze them until they shut up.
These caps are just the beginning, don't expect to change it, except for the worse. It time to milk the zombies.
Don't think so? Gasoline shouldn't be more than 25 cents a gallon. Seriously, I watched this happen over the years. Who the fuck do they think they are trying to fool? You can't fool everyone all the time. Gas was 25 cents a gallon and there wasn't a shortage. There never was a fucking shortage, nor probably ever will there be a real shortage in even our grandkid's lives. Its all about manipulation of idiot lemmings. They found out we are all dependent enough, and stupid enough to pay whatever they charge for gas, so here we are at $4 a gallon instead of 25 cents.
Unless they have High Def support somehow, I will probably just serve files over to my PS3. But...
I have already modded my old xbox and it will be interesting to see WTF they have done to it. The modding of it was lightyears ahead of time as far as a kick ass media center. I put a chip in mine and that was a learning experience. I first started with the piece of shit solder-less adapter for the chip, and it was a train wreck of a product. I ended up soldering it in, and that was my first soldering job. Watching youtube for soldering instructions helped a lot.
The gist of it is, you put a chip in, then you can take out the 2gig hard drive and drop a big hard drive in it. There you can transfer your MP3s and AVIs and whatnot over to it and it's like a jukebox. I was never much into console games with that platform, so I didn't collect every game they had on it floating around in newsgroups or torrents. They did have some great emulators where you could play every old video game from like the 80s and 90s and such. There are outrageous amounts of old computer games like that lying around in collections of hundreds if not thousands each. Game overload IMHO.
Leave it to Microsoftbrains to ignore this great feature their customers generated up. Instead of running with that brilliant idea and make it all legal for users and make a shitload of money in process, they let it slip by with a big fat "DERP" collectively floating out of their lips.
Sorry, I got off on a tangent/rant. Planetside was awesome. Like I said, WAS, awesome, but you are right, SOE ruined it. These companies have absolutely no respect at all for the gamers. I have so fantasized about me traveling to one of their corporate HQs and do a terminator on them. In my mind I have killed them all a dozen times. Where else on planet Earth can you spend so much time on something and get blatantly fucked in the ass by the powers that be?
If Sporting franchises pulled ANY of the crap that these game companies pull, Congress would be all over them. Imagine if you would the NFL changing the rules so that teams that are winning couldn't throw the ball anymore? Or what if they just took some of your most important players away from you, no explanation, just right in the middle of the play offs, yank them out and tell you "TOS, we are god, fuck off".
Or the car analogy, you buy a Corvette and in the middle of the night Chevy comes and takes out the V8 and drops in a 4 cylinder put put motor? It sounds ludicrous, but that is the gaming world. Gamers endure ignorant arbitrary decisions that effect months if not years of their efforts. How would that play out in any sport? There would be damn riots in the streets and cities burning to the ground if you did that to Soccer.
So is it any damn wonder that the nerds get pisT and knee cap the fuck out of one of these asshat companies via the Internet? No, and it's not going to get any better until justice is done. GAMERS RIGHTS NOW!
I think its time for everyone to take their PS3s and games back to wherever they purchased them and demand their money back. In my case it would be Wal-Mart, I know, i should burn in hell for shopping there, but I live in the boondocks and they have ran everyone else out of business.
Across the board, game systems, PCs, all games are under attack from hackers/cheaters. Black Ops was hacked 2 hours before it was released in the US they claim. I believe it. Being an old vet of FPS's I know when someone shot me with a wall hack or aimbot. You can see it on the replay, nobody has that kind of intuition to turn and accurately shoot that well. Watch players who don't cheat, they are comical a lot of times. It's the guys who kill you with one shot from across the map through a window, into the weeds you are hiding in, with effectively a BB gun, all with the speed and precision of a Terminator. Then you watch as suddenly they flip a grenade that lands perfectly over some walls and stuff and kills half your team, not just ONCE, but gets grenade kills ever time they throw one. Normal people throw one and they are lucky if it doesn't bounce back and roll right under them. Boom! "Mistakes were made!"
I am done buying games that have no security from hackers. I wrote STEAM about VAC and it's "crickets" from them. I told them I wasn't impressed with their performance once they took over TFC. Punkbuster used to keep the hackers down to a dull roar. VAC to me is a fucking bad joke, I had been away for so long that I had forgot how bad. I must have been optimistic, but BZZZZZT....wrong again. They still obviously suck.
I have been bitching for a "Bill of Rights" for Gamers. We have all be seriously fucked over by these punk game companies far too long. The first company that keeps the cheaters out and NEVER fucks you over with nerfs, they will get my money and loyalty. Until then, they can collectively suck my dick, no more money for all of them.
Wow! Just WOW!!!
I can't believe they have the balls to do that! Or the stupidity, this sets a precedence that will allow pigs to do as they please. It makes moot any case against an illegal entry by law enforcement because now there IS NO ILLEGAL entry by law enforcement.
These judges need replaced now. We have a choice, we can amend our Constitution so that we can remove them either personally with amendments just for each one, or we make provisions to remove judges that cross Constitutional lines. This being a case where the Judges have urinated all over the Constitution and sit there defiant of it.
We cannot let this stand, if we do, we are cursed. I think collectively we are screwed, we have no sense of community enough to stand up against this kind of tyranny, so it's going to take individuals to fight this.
Let's just hope they get heavy handed with it right off the bat. That way they fuck with the wrong person and we get at last some brave soul to kick off the 2nd American Revolutionary War.
Let them fall apart and feed on each other like the animals they are. Offer up some of them incentive to turn on each other, and lets make a horror story/cautionary tale out of all of them. Decent people don't operate from veiled threats like punks. They screwed with ME when they hacked Sony. Before I didn't give a fuck about them or their baby games, but now, FUCK THEM. We need to lock down this wild west show known as the Internet. Its full of criminals that we can't find or track down. The music industry, and movie industry are about toast from all the thieves. The game industry is in shambles from trying to cope with thieves and asshats that hack their games then flood the cheat/hacks out to every jackassed punk.
It needs to be a global, multinational effort, with no place to run or hide. And cocksmoke countries like China that encourage it's people to constantly probe our cyber defense, we lob thermal nukes at them until either they get the picture or they are all dead. BTW, here is a genius idea a friend of mine had for dealing with these Chinese hackers trying to probe your system/network. You let them in a port with some stupidly simple permutation that only a moron would put on. When they get in, they get the "welcome file" that is chocked full of western propaganda, thus flagging themselves via their own "great fire wall of china". If it doesn't flag them, we have really great propaganda, it might screw them up..lol.
It's time for the anonymity to stop all around. It will help save the children. (lol) I am more interested in stopping the "Internet Douchbag" effect, where people hide behind their computer and say the most fucked up shit they would NEVER dream of saying to anyone in real life without getting throttled to death with their own shoes. If you are an asshole to someone on the Internet, they should know who you are immediately. I think after about a year or so of the mayhem that would occur, people would settle down and act like civilized human beings. It's like my driving axiom "Unleashed Road Rage Cures Road Asshole-ishness". Perhaps after Mom and Dad watch in the news were a couple got throttled along with their punk kid for basically letting their punk kid run their mouth to the wrong people, they will get off their ass and check out what their heathen hellspawn punk kids are doing online.
Or one would know where that red neck retard lives at, the one that screams shit on voice chat, loves Fox News and Bush. The one that drawls out that Southern accent so bad that God curb stomps 12 kittens every time he hears it. I know it would raise a conundrum of choosing between tasking an Air Group to carpet bomb the entire area code for the sake of the gene pool, or surgical strike armed with a wooden spoon. (Slow death via wooden spoon is the gist)
Of course, my ways might be considered a bit harsh by some. Nobody seems to like my ideas for getting our prison population under control. I say to save money, promote obedience and fear in the public, and reduce the size of all of our prisons down to only ONE that we do this: we feed prisoners other prisoners. Just put guards on the wall, open the cells and let them decide democratically who gets ate. We could sell this on Pay-Per-View and generate revenue.
The guy has a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories, so I guess this makes him one of "low iq and mentally deficient wack jobs".
What retarded troglodytes marked this as insightful? This is troll bait 101.
I see it now, Bill has been home too long watching Myth Busters, now he wants a Federal Version of it. I bet he daydreams of hiring the Myth Busters guys to head the department. Are you inhaling now Bill?
On a serious note he does have something of a point. But I don't think he's going in the right direction. We need draconian measures, but we aren't going to get them for a while. It's going to take something really crazy to scare the government into putting the serious clamps down on the wild west version of the Internet we currently have. I can see it all coming at the same time, World ID cards, forget national, why piddle with that?
On a serious note, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't claim to be a "free country", yet do something draconian to the Internet. Not without enough cognitive dissidence to cause some people to utterly snap. Me being one of them. I will probably flip out and think I am in a PVP Minecraft server and start digging straight down.
They could pass some gamers' rights laws and I would be extremely happy. Laws for dealing with companies who twist the rules around, nerf things, making them worthless, and for people who hack games and cheat, not to mention people who write viruses and people who spam. Personally, if they get rid of the cheaters in my games, I don't care what they do. I have paid for so many games only to have them cracked and full of cheaters, there should be a law! lol Oh I really love their reasoning for cheating, "I am smart because I cheat, I get away with it, so I do it." To me that cries out for their parents to be lined up against the wall and shot.
What kind of heathen rat bastards are these little monsters growing up to be? Just think, these twisted kids will be in charge some day. If you can't trust their basic character in something like a game, you sure as shit can't trust their behavior else where. We give all sorts of positive reinforcement to this completely warped behavior and thinking. Establishing poor behavior habits and pattern in our kids is some serious parental neglect. When I see most of the criminals today, I see shipwrecked jobs at parenting overall.
I would imagine most parents who set down with their children for a board game would be horrified to see their child cheat at the game, and then remark how dumb you are for not cheating. Then start smack talking you for even bringing it up. If I did that, my Dad would have punched me right off the planet, I would still be sailing through outer space somewhere. Yet, this is the behavior our kids and sadly teens, young adults and creepy guys who live in their mother's basement, engage in on a regular basis.
This is what happens in our society of greed now. Two income families for lifestyles they feel they are entitled too, but the children are not parented, this will come to bite us hard on the ass. Latchkey kids, or raised by other family members, or some daycare center. Then the Internet raises them once they can be entrusted not to burn the neighborhood down if left alone. This is why we have lazy assed parents whining "for the children" when the fuckers should be tending to this themselves. It doesn't take village to raise a child, it takes PARENTS. If you think that "the village" can be intrusted to raising your kids, you shouldn't have kids period. Ever.
Besides, the old axiom is "don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see." Any information read has to be taken with a grain of salt that it might not be true. Even hard facts are often proven wrong, so a person should have an open mind. Also, sometimes when you see something, you don't see the "whole picture" and can still not have all the facts of the matter. Applying some healthy skeptical caution about one's information across the board in life is a good thing. Why should the Internet be any different? Most of us already know a large percentage of what we encounter on the Internet is pure bullshit.
It would be a wonderful thing what he proposed, but human history has a bad track record of "well intended" policies turning into monsters given time.
Seriously fuck Steam and Valve. Their anti cheat systems are a fucking joke. Of course the internet has a generation of cunts that think cheating is clever that support this kind of bullshit. Nothing like shelling out good money for a game to find out that it was hacked before it was even released.
check out www.callofdutyhacks.com This place seriously pisses me off. Call of Duty: Black Ops, hacked all to hell. After this fucked up deal of Black Ops, I will never buy shit from Steam or Valve ever again.
Where is your vision man? I would wager you are a conservative Republican with a mind like that.
I am thinking if they get an Android App for it, it could seriously take off. Fuck yeah! Be the first coffee shop to take bitcoins for a coffee. It just takes a few to brave the new frontier, and it will be off and running like a scalded cat. If it has ONE iota of exchange, others will want a piece of the pie. (literally..along with their coffee)
Let me enlighten you if I possibly can to what he means by thinking outside the box and ending up in Gitmo. It's about not being a fucking lemming your entire life much to the collective disgust of the universe. It's the information age and its time for an evolution of our government to match it. Lets face it, how we've been doing things is really seriously fucked, and it will continue to be fucked as long as we let it. It's OUR responsibility to take charge of not only our own lives, but to do so collectively.
If this system is what it's cracked up to be, it's light years ahead of our current system as far as freedom and democracy for the people. Again, if it's viable, it's too late, the idea and thought of it is already out there. To try to squash it has a high probability of failure and a higher probability of severe if not deadly backlash. Ignoring it would be the best idea, and perhaps people's fear of something new will let it die on the vine. If they react to it, it will only validate it and attract more unwanted attention to it.
So, naysayers like you are probably the best friend of the current powers that be. If you are content with your current Overlords, then by all means defend them, you can dream of them petting you on the head. Personally, a life never risked in hopes of progress, is no life at all.
I think after looking it over some more with my think-tank, if it's viable, it's time to jump the hell right in with it. Offering up product right now would be ideal, something electronically generated would be perfect. Getting in on the ground floor of anything is great if it pans out. I am sure Google, was looked at with some criticizing eyes when it started. I have seen so much tech come and go and stay, and it's fun to watch.
This will also definitely send the powers that be off the deep end. "Sweet Jesus, the Interwebs is taking over MONEY! RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!1111!!!"
It would take the complete destruction of P2P, which might set us all the fuck off. Ok a few of us, nobody born in the last four decades has an ounce of balls between all of them.
