You mean the 5000 people who if they had not of downloaded it, probably would not have gotten off their arses to go see it in the cinema...
.
Ohhh those 5,000 people.
.
Or by the time it had of come out on DVD, would have forgotten all about it....
.
Ohhh those 5,000 people.
.
And the producers who were too stupid to release it simultaneously in the cinema, on DVD and online for like $1 a showing - all at the same time?
.
What do you mean $1 a showing, the computer monitor is only 1 / 10,000th the size of the cinema screen - it should be 20c per viewing.
.
Ohhhhhh those 5,000 people.
.
And not forgetting the merchandising, the Mc Crappy meals and their child psychologist manipulation to come back every day for 2 weeks to get the whole toy set....
.
Ohhhhhh those 5,000 people.
.
So now who are the dick head producers are going to sue...
I am a HUGE fan of add blockers, mainly because of the incessant locust plague of advertising that comes down the pipe.
.
99.99% of all online advertising is stuff that I don't want, can't use or can't afford - even if I didn't want it.
.
So why are these people acting as if it's their divine right to keep shoving this shit in my face?
.
Like are they so stupid - they just don't get it? Apparently so.
.
One newspaper company in Melbourne Australia, called "The Age" would produce sometimes newsworthy columns worth reading; AND picture this. Say the webpage was 30cm wide. The left column filled with links and adds was 12cm wide, the right column usually filled with the same was also 12cm wide............. and the center column being the actual article was 8 cm wide; and
.
These stupid fucks in the Age / Fairfax news group, would insist in putting brightly coloured, flashing, animated adds smack in the middle of the news column.....
.
And it was like trying to read with a strobe light in your face...
.
No matter how many times I complained - these stupid cunts did nothing.
.
That is when I made the decision to get and use add and javascript blockers on a full time basis.
.
And the editors of "The Age" and the entire scummy media group can go fuck themselves.
I was port scanned non stop, several times a second, for about 24 hours straight, and it came from Amazon 184.73.236.247., so I complained to them and they write up all this crap on their site about monitoring their networks - and they don't; and they also back door the hacked, by giving them selves some bullshit backdoor, by saying "Closing down the offenders account (we take hacking very seriously) is in most cases not effective (because they just change the access paths).
.
After I complained I received an acknowledgement that the activity was coming from their network and they had stopped it.
.
BUT not a fucking thing had changed. - the port scanning just kept right on happening.
.
I sent them an email "If you fuck with me I will take legal action against you". The traffic soon stopped but then I got emails from a guy who used the same moniker as Amazon Cloud Computing, saying "from your friend in the cloud"..... and he jerked himself off to my surprise and delight - for all concerned, by making threats to expose me as a cunt - well I know I am a cunt so what was his point?
And life goes on.
Yeah... but the management of MS has done a lot of really shitty things - as a business. INCLUDING dumping lots of really shitty software on the market, without any protection - and excluding the issue of having to spend 2 to 3 times as much per anum on security software as what I paid for the software, the bugs in their software have cost me HEAPS in lost time, income and productivity. If I was to pay $200 for their software - the bugs in it over time - being the total cost of ownership - easily come to 50 times the purchase price.
.
And it's through many of their unscrupulopus business practices in the face of limited alternatives for consumers - that is how they made their billions
.
Their customer service is appalling - especially if you are poor...With the endless drill down menus, the buck passing and stone walling?
.
Not interested in their crap....
.
So why should our hearts be bleeding for them? - The management of that company are only too happy to rip off the consumer - remember the recent pricing scam by Microsoft for Windoze 7 - the USA has one price and everywhere else in the world pays TWICE that price; and they block online sales from the USA by IP and shipping address?
.
You mean that they want to treat consumers like stupid shit? Of course they are going to get lots of flack from people - especially those with long memeories.
Microsoft - the worlds longest running disaster that has the scummiest of free features and product lock in, and a vertical integration of all their other products....
And their OS doesn't come with any protection...
Well it does if you can get your head around 2500 vaguely interrelated security settings, in 120 different parts of the software, with no clear connection between any of them, and you need a PHD in computer science and an astronomical memory, several months to drill down through the all the menus, AND anything that is run, won't run unless it's in administrator mode, which switches off what ever worthless security settings that Microsoft creates, AND I just don't have any more time for that endless shit of issues and security and scanning everything with 10 lots of malware scanners anymore....
Ummm by "week" and "end" - were you referring to the 2 days of the week between Friday and Monday; or where you referring to the days between Sunday and Saturday?
.
With Microsoft and all of it's bullshit, I can hardly remember a weekend spent fixing it - didn't run from Sunday to Saturday - that being Sunday the first of the month and Saturday being the first day of the next month.
Pretty soon we will be taking robo-combat 101 classes., on how to shoot hardened cyborgs running at 200 miles an hour with their own laser target designators and proximity fused 20mm cannons...
The line is crossed when I no longer have control or can regain control, when I need to have control.
.
Hence the desire to use a big handgun on the car computer and the idiots who program that nagging shit into it......
.
My dream is to have a house that asks me to confirm that I want to have the light on, every time I switch the light on, by asking me, "Hi Dogzdik, did you know you have activated the illumitronic universal room lighting system, if you want the lighting to commence, say "YES", if you do not want the lighting to commence, say "NO" or wait 30 seconds before pressing the light switch on again"....
.
jesus fuck... I hate automation, phone robots and stupid, stupid shit and the people who make it.
Dust tends to fall down and blow across, not up into.
-
(strong winds don't count)
-
Keep your laptop in a plastic garbage bag at all times - except when you are actually using it.
-
It's something like the average person only uses their PC about 6 hours a day, so by wrapping it in plastic - that is 18 hours less for the dust to get into it.
-
OR
-
Make up an inverted glass fish tank, as that lets you leave it running and the glass dissipates the heat.
-
And you can do things like use blue tack (soft adhesive) to retain a film of cling wrap across the keyboard and down the sides - just don't block up the air ports.
-
Ummmmm add a centripital air filter to your work environment - like what 4WD vehicles have, before the paper element filter.
-
It won't filter out 100% of all airborn dust, but it will remove about 95%.
-
Get a water "air cooling" tower and suck your cool cleaned and humidified air from that, into your office.
-
Most of the really best ideas fall into 3 categories;
-
1. Reduce the amount of contaminants going into your environment and
-
2. Shield the components in that environment - to the actual time they are being used and
-
3. Fit common sense shielding where most of the dust is likely to go, most of the time.
Turn the output or input levels down....
That also works....
But as some people seem to think, being fucked in the arse by your girlfriend with a plastic dick is not sex., no matter how you look at it.
Microsoft have served up so much so much crap software, as part of their never ending perpetual consumer beta-testing with the repackage, rebadge and upgrade cycles...
-
That I have upgraded to thinking for myself, not taking their shit and moving to BETTER products with BETTER service...
-
Microsoft is now so bad in that department...
-
LOL....
-
Fancy that - rigging the prices of Win 7 and everything else so that the people in the USA get their 10 varieties of operating system, and at about 1/2 the price microsoft charge for the same product in other countries....
This stuff can be really great;
-
Except when:
-
-
A. It gets hacked; and
-
-
B. The metaphorical "power goes out" or system crash / failure events occour.
-
-
No home. No Computer. No phone. No car.
-
-
And of course the only way access can be restored is by a phone call to the flooded call center, on a phone that doesn't work.
-
-
Me thinks: No Way.
The Australian media - for those unfortunates who do not have to suffer the benefit of it all, runs "competing" news services, who all run the almost identical stories - usually about worthless sensationalist bullshit; and the news readers and the journalists for the larger part - are just fucking idiots.
I mean like Duhhhh it's a fucking passport....
And the brightest of them go and stake out the people and their houses - that is the people who had their passports stolen;
And they complained about them driving away and then giving chase.
All I could think of was being one of these media stalking victims, and owning a hummer and then ram-raiding every bunch of fuck hole journalists at ever stake out - outside of everyone's place.
That is it - just running the hummer at high speed straight into the middle of them all... running them all over, ramming their cars and squashing their cameras, and cutting all their heads off and sticking them on their satelite dishes - for trophies in my front yard.
For the larger part - Not terribly sympathetic to journalists and their cause.
Most of them are fucking idiots and stupid ones at that.
Stalking people and staking out peoples houses? I don't think so.
Hmmmmmmm all the graft and corruption of this committee and the kickbacks and all just to host "The Olympics" in your city......
-
And the corporate cash grabs and the taking of bribes by the members of this committee with the consumerist angle of it all?
I remember how the chairman of the IOC kicked some kid out of lighting the torch in Greece, so his own kid could do it.
Sycophantic prick.
-
The IOC is looking more and more like christmas with a fat guy in a red suit standing on every street corner - telling us to buy, buy, buy - to "celebrate" the spirit of christmas.
With their copyright nazi-ism - Whats next?
Prohibiting groups of 5 people from hanging thir bare arses out of the bus windows, because it copyright infringes the IOC's 5 rings.
-
As far as that guy dying when he flipped out of the chute into the steel posts, I saw it, downloaded it and saved it. Sent it to some friends. Quite sad.
-
But I am a bit sick of the insanely sanitised news that is largely identical on all chanels in Australia; and most of it is "We are the 53rd state of the USA content, and it really matters if Obama makes a comment about the snow in Washington.
-
So it was HEALTHY to see "real news" and that the guy had a quick clean death - so.
-
In respect to the arseholes in the IOC bullying people:

Should have reversed over her accidentally like... "Oh sorry didn't see her - she was laying underneath my car when I did it".

Sure the soup is technically OK., but

That one bobbing bit of brownness discolours, unflavours with it poigniant persuasiveness, of the nicety of it all.
