"The trouble with the Internet too is that it always leaves someone wanting more. Perhaps, if they were offline, they would have given up. But searching for more and more XXXX only leaves them more obsessed, I think.
"
better to have them obsessed and mindlessly clicking away at some lame ass website then slitting their wrists because they are sick fucks. because god knows the psychiatric help system in north america is fucked up beyond all hell, and they can't get help there....and the school-industrial-military-prison complex isn't going to help them. who knows mabye they may bootstrap themselves to a new level of life that doesn't include cutting/anorexia. hell, i'm no longer suicidal
people are stupid. be aware of this fact and act and think accordingly. expecting them not to be stupid instantaneously is, well, either in error or just plain evil. it's not their fault, for the most part, that they are stupid. they have been raised stupid...
i mean come on, you are obviously smarter than they are and realize these things. but not everyone is as smart as you are. you have to come to grps with this. the people who muck around with transmitters in the bus should not be barred from media, they should be *enlightened*. because if you find a way to bar them from their media, they are just going to screw up some other part of your day. don't have a vehicle yet/taking the bus? wait till you get a vehicle and learn how utterly incapable most mammals are of operating moter-vehicles safely and sanely. don't deal with people day to day for your work? then you mustn't realize the total waitress-groping-loud-annoying-and-obnoxious-assho les that just seem to hang around every corner. yours isn't a problem with media, this is a problem with people. it's not that most cell phone users aren't rude, it's that most people are. how you've lived 10+ years and not realized this after learning about how 3d-spread-electromagnetics work is beyond me.
i attend a university and i've found that the higher up a person is on the scale (except for a few exceptions), the more likely they are going to see 'linux' as 'free' as in 'doesn't cost anything' rather than anything else. this is not a surprise, because microsoft has active financial interests here(there's ms posters, conferences, labs, etc). mabye having a ms lab or two isn't a bad thing(considerring their sheer market dominance, people coming out of university knowing how to use their products slightly can't be that bad)...but there is brainwashing going on. or at the very least, outright lying. people here honest to god believe that linux is no better than the ripped off illegal virus loaded "freeware" video games that people used to pass off to eachother in the 80's and early 90's..."CRACKED BY ZEROCOOL" etc. i have yet to see a microsoft representative think that linux might be a better scenario because of the open source/because they trust their users.
and honestly, when all you know about linux is what you hear from microsoft, not using it because you think that it's just a version of windows that has been 'ripped by warez doodz' or something makes sense...after all, you have better things to do with your time, like say, what you are getting paid to do.
and this is of course in the CS wing. i pheer what other departments are like(although they probably all use Macs, judging from the number of those laying round everywhere)
that said i love my university, and besides a few strains of ivy growing in patches, i wouldn't go to another one for the world...and i also have crappy grades, so mabye i'm way out on a loop...
oh wait, that's because everything Microsoft sais, does, thinks, hears, sais IS EVIL.
it doesn't even need to be proved...it's an axiom.
even if for some strange reason, microsoft decides to actually fix their code, and release new applications that make linux say, pale in comparison(which i doubt, but let's imagine this to be the case...lets take for example, a really cool antivirus product)... they will stil be EVIL and should be DESTROYED.
can you not see this? is this not as clear as say, the fact that a triangle has three corners? that microsoft is evil is one of the easiest things to know, besides your own existance. if you doubt the evil in microsoft, i would assure you that things you consider more reasonable, the earth, the sky, and so on, are much less likely to be as you know them.
to be honest i'm not sure why you think this way. Microsoft has included antivirus products in it's operating systems at least as long as i had been using (2000-2002, MSDOS 4.?-Win98SE) it's just that they are finally replacing an aging, broken, obselete-10-years-ago part with a new part.
this is NOT a NEW reason as to why they are breaking antitrust legislation NOW...(because this is a feature that has always been in windows, from before the antivirus venders even started in the feild)
although there could be an argument that they are EVIL and should be DESTROYED derived from this.
but an update? so if for example, 10 years down the road, they give up updating IE, and 20 years down the road they suddenly provide a new updated one full of the features that their previous version had be lacking in Windows 2014 would they still in this case be committing antitrust ? I think we should be thankful that they had crappy code in their anti-virus side for so long.
that being said I also think the most of the antivirus companies should be sued into the ground and seeing them be screwed into the ground by microsoft to me is a reasonable compromise.
i'm not sure about microsoft (although i would be suspicious) but Apple did say this back in 1981 or so with their Apple ][ e documentation. if you'd like to see a copy I could provide, although it is deadtree and i don't personally own a scanner and i havn't seen it in awhile so i'm not sure what page it'd be on:L
don't you get it? this will allow microsoft to benifit by having multiple viruses in the wild at all times, because you will want to get the 'OS that has a Virus Scanner included! er something like that.
i think the idea of microsoft+virus writer combination is a little scary....
* they are helping microsoft
* all people who help microsoft should be shot.
* ergo they should be shot
* * ergo the Anti-Virus companies should be included.
can you imagine a world where there was no antivirus protection for windows users at all?
oh wait...that would be kind of like most of the windows world is allready.
the essence of 'fighting back' is a moral one.
if it was not, you(fellow revolutionary) could be bought and paid for by large sums of microsoft cash. or mabye that's the point, and that your revolution is only a ploy to get you bought over.
i at least hope that i'd never bow down to large sums of money like that
the RIAA lost. and that's the important part here. if the RIAA lost a hundred million dollars, the consumer gained nothing, then this would still be a good day. any and all tools we can use to destroy the RIAA and the poeple who run/ran it are justified.
after watching the kult rise (and fall?), and keeping into mind the exponential growth of the world's population, i'ld have to disagree with you. we created our own unique "kulture", and with it it's own traditions, manerisms, symbols, 'gods', and so on and so forth. being a mostly open society, we all took part in it to some extent or other...and while perhaps we are not nor will ever be an established culture to the extent that say, the romans or the british were... we were definitely on the way in that direction.
i'm sad that some cultures lose their grip on humanity and fade into the death... but the amount of 'culture' more potent, and deep than anything we've seen so far is actually _growing_, whether you believe it or not. how many ethnicities were there 100 years ago? today? cargo cults much? with every divergence of religion(see scientology), and state(see quebec) and stuff like 2600... new cultures begin to form. and with it _new_ poetry, new literature, new music, and so on. as the population grows, and is more able to feed itself(culture only really grows once people have time...you can't have much of a culture if your held in one razorwire lined Nike sweatshop at machine gun forced to work 20.5 hours a day. )...more cultures will really shine.
and then you get the screwed up freaks who's main focus as far as freindship goes is
'a person who is not actively trying to kill or harm me in any way'. yes. that was my definition once upon a time. and i heard it echoed later on in a couple of places independant of my home town, once i found the internet. surely, the internet has changed the entire dynamics of freindship, as i thought that most of the people out there were totally against me, when in reality, they were just trying to save themselves face by picking on or just plain not supporting the freak.
now with the internet the 'freaks' can 'team up' with eachother...so there HAS to be a new level of freindship screw-ed into the worldview of even the most unfreindly. right?
how is this thought compatible with your sig? am i interpreting things correctly? how can you both remain non-anonymous, and retain any ability to sell data about yourself whatsoever? if you are anonymous there is little you can do(there is some, but not much) to make inferences about the you when there is a large pool of anonymous agents. right? whereas, if you have named induviduals in a pseudopublic database... inferences can be made just by observing this database..this is a passive process, and you would have to actively fight against it from occurring, if you could at all, which i doubt. the information about you is necessarily then being documented, and broadcast, and asking money for it is like asking money for the photons being interpreted by the brains of people who are looking at you when you are physically nearby them.
as for the topic? i think the first thing to note is the finiteness of human lifespans, and the ability to only interact with so many humans in a lifetime.
or has slashdot/someone paid you to disclose your name? or do you really think that your screen-name hides your true identifying number?(i doubt this)
you are equating flying a cesna with an f-16? i think there's just a hint of a difference between the two.
the point i'm trying to make here, albeit not very well, is that sometimes the fun stuff in life isn't healthy. alchohol and LSD kill brain cells. thc messes with your memory management. Soccer will inevidibly bruise, scrape and cause some bone and or brain damage. loud music kills eardrums. the playa fries people like hamburgers. the great canadian unexplored north freezes people alive. sex causes disease to transmit(not to mention children). and i'm a relatively boring person, and i can't think of really anything that fun right now(i've been studying all day.:/)
"live dangerously"-neitzsche.
i failed my pilots liscence testing...but had i been able to fly the two aircraft, i know which one i would chose.
if, and possibly only if, everyone does this, will it be time for the great revolutions akin to that fortold by marx. Capitalism will have outlived it's use
(honestly, how many people are involved in 'overhead' jobs these days? how many lawyers, bankers, financial analysts, and so on and so forth) and it will be time for "everyone" to get together, overthrow the current regieme and live in relative utopian bliss. mabye no revolution will be necessarry, and it will be a democratic process. due to the election-rigging and media control lately i don't see this as likely, but hey, it's possible.
the next step will be convincing the outsourced labour to not be our slaves, and not to try to enslave us. but that's just a suggestion.
i'm exactly who you are talking bout, by the way. when i graduate from university, i know i'm not going to be able to get a job in my feild. i'm probably going to be deliverring papers and or flipping burgers for my entire life...which is starting to sink in because this weekend i found what could be someone worth marrying...and i can't raise a family on less-than-minnimum-wage, period.
know what the worst part about this situation is? that i refuse to charge to help people with their computers. i know a few of people who basically make a living either a) making websites and b) reparing/doing service on peoples' home computers, and i see this as sick. even if only in virtue of being in kult, i refuse to charge for such service if i can help them with it. i think it's sick that people take their knowledge and then profit on it, when they could be helping people.
if you want to help a multinational corporation, go hard, charge them through the teeth...but these are human beings. people who are just trying to live their lives. if enough people help other people for free, the others will be *forced* to have sane pricing standards by sheer competition.
i remember living at home with my family, getting my computer infected with spyware, and screwing the winsock up... and while i was willing to install the operating system(win98) over again, the place we got our computers told us not to because they had the drivers and they didn't give us the drivers... so we had them to a routine os reinstall..they charged us like 150$. 150$?!! for a fucking re-install of fucking windows? i've installed windows a good 4 dozen times, and linux at least twice that many, and i'm not even really good at this sort of thing. if me and my collective of peers can do something there is no fucking way you are justified in charging a family 150$ for it. that's just sick, and greedy. but they get away with this, and they make their livings like this. and i will live the rest of my life now trying to put them out of business.
want to learn how to play the piano? have some spare time for me to teach you in? if i can get enough money together on my own to fix my piano, i'll teach you for free, if you let me. computer borked? i'll fix it, if i can. for free.
to keep this on topic, has anyone thought of music?
because when the male-male-female, female-female-male-female-female and not-male-or-female-with-the-matrix-style-sexor-por ts come out, and we start get into the real body modification stuff whatever culture is still left dwelling on the differences between men and women is going to be consumed by anxious confusion and resentment.
i have a server. upwards of 99.9% of the uploads from my server are pornographic. sure, one could ask 'why do you serve porn to the internet', well, i serve most or all of my files(not including some legal copies of copyrighted materials;) )...and it just so happens some 0.1% of my files happen to be porn.
not only is 99% of my uploads porn, but i have had servers in the past(i think i've mentioned this before, but i can't find it due to slashdot's 24-comment-and-no-next-page limitation:/) with good percentages of uploads of files like 'childporn.mp3'(sean kennedy, 'sluts.mp3' and now 'rocked by rape'(evolution control comittee) ranks in the top 20 or so. neither of these are pornographic, although they discuss sexual issues.
why is it that most of the time when i look for porn online i find lolita-9 year old virgin preteen incest files before i find anything i'd want to fuck? because this is what appeals to people and that it wouldn't be there if there wasn't massive demand.
people are fucked up, okay?! if you legislate or in any way break the freedom of the internet up, you aren't *solving* anything. you are merely ignoring the fact that there are some perverted, nay, most of the people in the world are perverted sadistic sick fucks to whom raping children on film is something they can get off to. sure, YOU and your ancestors have evolved past this but THEY have not.
isn't it better to admit this, and as a community come to grips with this and then MABYE try to HELP this massive amounts of people bootstrap themselves into some sort of greater civility should one exist? someone suggested this awhile back but did not emphasize that humanity-as-a-whole-is-messed-up and i wish i had acess to their post as well:/
the problem is that by and large, human beings who are connected to the internet are messeed up. breaking the internet solves nothing.and furthermore...
"the government is not your freind"-sktfm
if i knew propper grammar, propper gramar for what language? english? well guess what? i don't speak english, or write it, so i'm afraid if you and your english world would like to understand me you are going to have to translate it into some form of predigested-bytecode-garbage that english can interpret...and i'd love you for carrying my ideas onward if this would occur.
the reason that my post appears to be a blob of text is, well, because it *is* a blob of text.
i can't believe how this isn't obvious to you.
i applaud you for not viewing things within your language/propper grammar structure and implying censorship upon those who cannot phrase their thoughts in your tounge/thought-ruleset. this implies a barrier where bad ideas, faulty thinking, is filterred out and if my message was REALLY IMPORTANT someone who can understand me better(*gasp*, yes, they are rumoured to exist.) and who can communicate with you. bullshit-o-meters are a good thing, even if they are somewhat questionable(using other people to think for you, but hey! your clock cycles are more important than theirs, because you are obviuosly smarter than they!, for they speak the language of the base themusicgod1, they cannot possibly be as articulate and specific as you!)
the lack of a language that is not a hack does not make english not a hack, nor does it counter anything that follows from english being a hack.
grammar is *not* what gives sentances meaning.
*experience* is what gives sentances meaning.
and if 'because so many people speak it' were the driving force in learning grammatical rules i think spanish or chinese rules would supercede any english ones.
granted, i havn't read chaucer in a while, and i do remember it being terse
but don't get me wrong: rules are good.
english is just so bloated that it is not only niegh-impossible to learn, but that its bloat is a necesarry part of the development of language. i'm not sure what teh-solution is, should one exist.

this is typical of microsoft.
i attend a university and i've found that the higher up a person is on the scale (except for a few exceptions), the more likely they are going to see 'linux' as 'free' as in 'doesn't cost anything' rather than anything else. this is not a surprise, because microsoft has active financial interests here(there's ms posters, conferences, labs, etc). mabye having a ms lab or two isn't a bad thing(considerring their sheer market dominance, people coming out of university knowing how to use their products slightly can't be that bad)...but there is brainwashing going on. or at the very least, outright lying. people here honest to god believe that linux is no better than the ripped off illegal virus loaded "freeware" video games that people used to pass off to eachother in the 80's and early 90's..."CRACKED BY ZEROCOOL" etc. i have yet to see a microsoft representative think that linux might be a better scenario because of the open source/because they trust their users.

why is it that most of the time when i look for porn online i find lolita-9 year old virgin preteen incest files before i find anything i'd want to fuck? because this is what appeals to people and that it wouldn't be there if there wasn't massive demand.
people are fucked up, okay?! if you legislate or in any way break the freedom of the internet up, you aren't *solving* anything. you are merely ignoring the fact that there are some perverted, nay, most of the people in the world are perverted sadistic sick fucks to whom raping children on film is something they can get off to. sure, YOU and your ancestors have evolved past this but THEY have not.
isn't it better to admit this, and as a community come to grips with this and then MABYE try to HELP this massive amounts of people bootstrap themselves into some sort of greater civility should one exist? someone suggested this awhile back but did not emphasize that humanity-as-a-whole-is-messed-up and i wish i had acess to their post as well
the problem is that by and large, human beings who are connected to the internet are messeed up. breaking the internet solves nothing.and furthermore...

if i knew propper grammar, propper gramar for what language? english? well guess what? i don't speak english, or write it, so i'm afraid if you and your english world would like to understand me you are going to have to translate it into some form of predigested-bytecode-garbage that english can interpret...and i'd love you for carrying my ideas onward if this would occur.
the reason that my post appears to be a blob of text is, well, because it *is* a blob of text. i can't believe how this isn't obvious to you.
i applaud you for not viewing things within your language/propper grammar structure and implying censorship upon those who cannot phrase their thoughts in your tounge/thought-ruleset. this implies a barrier where bad ideas, faulty thinking, is filterred out and if my message was REALLY IMPORTANT someone who can understand me better(*gasp*, yes, they are rumoured to exist.) and who can communicate with you.
bullshit-o-meters are a good thing, even if they are somewhat questionable(using other people to think for you, but hey! your clock cycles are more important than theirs, because you are obviuosly smarter than they!, for they speak the language of the base themusicgod1, they cannot possibly be as articulate and specific as you!)
Comparing c to english is blashemy.
the lack of a language that is not a hack does not make english not a hack, nor does it counter anything that follows from english being a hack.
grammar is *not* what gives sentances meaning. *experience* is what gives sentances meaning.
and if 'because so many people speak it' were the driving force in learning grammatical rules i think spanish or chinese rules would supercede any english ones.
granted, i havn't read chaucer in a while, and i do remember it being terse but don't get me wrong: rules are good.
english is just so bloated that it is not only niegh-impossible to learn, but that its bloat is a necesarry part of the development of language.
i'm not sure what teh-solution is, should one exist.
on hardcore porn!" [/rocks out]
