Trust me, I wish I can buy a dragunov and snuff out these f_ckers on the left eyeball one by one. Some MF apparently posted trash on/. from a major ISP here and got the whole subnet banned for real long. That PISSED ME OFF real big time. Ages back, when MUDs were way hot, I had real fun on one mixing with my clanmates from US, UK and all around. That is until people started cheating (crashing the server to dup items, etc). And yet again apparently the majority of these lamers are from Singapore. And so another subnet ban for many years. $%#@^%
Kiddies are everywhere, do you not have them in other countries around the world? I am not defending anyone, but let's not attribute certain behaviours to entire countries.
My point being that instead of stopping these morons from making appearances, let them in. When they start acting gay, screw them. Censoring out people isn't going to help, we need them to come onto the Internet and realise that the world isn't just this small little island. Yeah that brings us back to the topic: screw censorship.
And yeah, fcuk these people who doesn't want to learn and use proper English. They are going to flunk school anyhow, I expect most of them to end up nowhere in life.
It is precisely such comments like above, which a very mixed and hetereogenous society like Singapore cannot afford to let loose. Now if the minority races are just kept in a small town in any country, you can insult them and let them riot for all we care. At the most they burn down their own little town.
But if the minority is all over the country, or maybe you can't even mathematically call them minority, then letting people make such comments in public is just plain gay. I do NOT support suppresion of political speech freedom, but neither do I support turning a country into anarchy.
Quite a few good suggestions here regarding community effort and sharing. But as much as we want, it is just not feasible in the current state of affairs.
1. Cable companies cap the damn modem.
2. How many of us leave torrents running 24/7?
3. RIAA/MPAA will be jolly pissed at not being able to pinpoint their next victims behind all the NAT
Really, community regulation is not really an easy task. Yes we may be friendlier, but how many non-geeks out there actually care much that they are eating up bandwidth with their torrents and file servers? Once people start abusing, we will have to play Survival! The outcast will just set up their own network and everything degrades back to the old ways.
Anyhow, I blame the freaking ISPs. Over here, they play santa 365/24/7, giving away linksys routers with a new sign-up.
Conversation:
X: hey dude, my connection is slow. I think someone's stealing my bandwidth. You know how I can secure it?
Me: yeah, go to your router page and enable WPA. It's dead easy.
X: but I can't login!
Me: (without much thinking needed) try linksys/admin.
X: I think someone changed it!
Me: press the reset switch for 10 seconds. You will lose some settings though.
X: Oh damn, that sucks. I'll have to type in my adapter's MAC again.
Firstly, tech support stinks. Secondly, it's tough helping people who doesn't listen. Thirdly, I have no idea how his password can get changed if he blocked access with MAC address. Lastly, screw those people giving away wireless routers with every big mac meal.
Ok, I'm all ready for do some covert community work by changing channels for a start.
Not only that, it seems to be running out of stories to dupe and has resorted to self-advertising.
Seriously, if you start using this, you may notice your colleagues staying back real late and hanging suspiciously around your cubicle one evening. The next morning, when your manager walks past you, your phone rings and Mr Duper kicks in: you know what, screw my boss he's such a scum..
I know there are lots of www.free.clip.arts.here.com sites, but are there any that works along the same mentality as this? Where the licensing is clear and any developer working on small projects needing icons and whatever else can easily grab what they need, at the same time knowing it's high quality stuff.
Does deviantart count? I can't really tell what their policy is for re-use, and it seems more for large artistic creations.
