  1. Re:Curious if there's any informed people here... on Fee Increase Attempt Inspires 'Dump Your Bank Day' · · Score: 1

    yes how dare the government pass a non fuck you law on a bank they kept out of failure. BOA is a prime example, too incompetent to run a bank then try to fuck their customers for the mistake.

    They do not invest your money, your money is nothing more than a number in a database to them, your money pays for that marble floor and HD TV in each branch, otherwise its a ledger game of what debt people have promised to pay back.

    if your money mattered we would not be bailing them out in the first place, cause they would have had the cash to back up their loans.

  3. Re:Ubuntu doesn't run on pre-USB boot systems anyw on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Won't Fit On a CD · · Score: 1

    debian (you know the thing that ubuntu is based on) runs on a pentium with 48 megs of ram, gnome 2 requires like 4 megs of video memory, ubuntu minus BLOAT will run just fine on a 8 year old machine with the memory, and if you trim off all of its pre installed pure garbage runs quite well.

    but its honestly less effort to su apt-get install debian where you want it, than hope and pray that you can boot ubuntu on such a machine and apt-get remove AOL, compaq utilities and MS HOME, which is what it boils down to

    most people will never in their life use 90% of what ubuntu comes bloated with, nevermind the dumb shit like jello windows and the cube desktop switcher

    why?

    most decent linuxes will let you download a tiny net installer, why waste a entire DVD containing software that was outdated a year or more before it was shoved into an ISO, just to update on the net anyway?

    Mint 11 cant even load the window taskbar widget on my desktop now unless I manually do it on reboot, sometimes forgets there is a clock widget on the taskbar, and on my laptop it crashes gnome when I run filezilla in full screen.

    but it sure gives me a fuckton of error messages, its funny because 10 was running flawless, goes back to "if it aint broke, dont fucking fix it you dumbshits"

    cause a 50 pack of cd's is 5 bucks and I dont have to dick around with ubuntu not wanting to format it, and I can stick it in a stack of other cd's for when they royally fuck it up (looking at you mint, which now crashes constantly on my laptop, and every time I reboot my desktop it bombs a taskbar item, fucking POS garbage)

    Fuck that, and fuck you recording industry, don't you get it? you ceased to matter in 1998, it does not take millions of dollars to produce and publish quality recordings any more, and you fail to exist other than a copyright troll, fuck off and die already, unless you really want to produce another limp bizcuit?

    dont get me wrong I love freedom,I love the USA, but we have started to hit the midpoint where stupid fucking morons have true power protecting their 1 acre of mentality and fuck the billions of others, which is starting to be scary.

  21. Re:I stopped reading the responses after... on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 2

    When I was younger I smoked pot, smoked cigarettes like a chimney, drank like a fish and guzzled the high fructose corn syrup soda's slammed with caffeine

    now that I am post 30 years old I find that

    I drink less than 2 cups of coffee, while I watch co-workers slam down 8 (2 gives me the shakes to the point where I feel uncomfortable, like eating a pile of trucker pills)

    I still drink too much, feeling like death the next morning, even in moderation

    I smoke less than a half pack a day of cigarettes and feel like sandpaper stuffed with Vaseline half the day

    And smoke no pot.

    I wish I could afford the nicotine programs, other than that I try to control myself with limited success
    I wish I could kick the booze habit with limited success
    Pot? fuck man at one point I needed to get a job with a random drug test, I stopped that day and its been three years no problem, without a second thought

    IMO its the least addictive thing out there and it packs a good punch for the moment.

    I am not advocating that pot be like cigarettes as obviously it has intoxicating effects, but shit man its the same level as booze and honestly should be treated as such .. get busted driving 90 down the middle of an interstate acting a fool DUI, I have no problem with that. Public intoxication fine. Get busted for having a baggie of grass and getting harsher prison penalties than rape and murder? I do have a problem with that.

    I recently saw a story on the national news where some perv kidnapped a 14 year old girl and raped her for 10 years, then got a parole after 1.5 years. Followed up with a story of a gang of pot dealers doing community time after serving 3 years in prison.

    That is fucked up. Remember this bit of insperation... go rape a teenager for a decade and get off lighter than selling the dried leaves of a naturally occurring plant.
