Rants Net Neutrality

0 Comments

The Entertainment Consumers Association is urging gamers to stand up and be counted for Net Neutrality.

In an e-mail circulated yesterday, the ECA issued a call to action:

Now is the time for you to stand up for your rights and join millions of Americans of every political persuasion in the fight for Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is the principle that ensures that gamers are free to go where they want, do what they like, and connect with whom they choose onlin. Congressmen Ed Markey (D-MA) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) have introduced H.R. 3458, the Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2009.

Take action now and tell Congress to make Net Neutrality the law of the land. Without Net Neutrality, your Internet Service Provider is free to: charge you extra for playing World of Warcraft, to interfere with Xbox Live, or to completely shut off your ability to access for favorite web sites. Net Neutrality effects your entire online experience…

This is our best chance yet in making sure that Net Neutrality is passed by Congress. The head of the FCC supports it, the President of the United States supports it, and we’re asking you to make sure to tell Congress you support it. Take a moment to send them the message to make Net Neutrality the law.

suggested letter to Congressional representatives is available from the ECA website.

Rants Porn industry not doing well?!?!?!?

0 Comments

I just read that the porn industry is in a downturn since it came out. They said porn DVD sales have basically stopped altogether. Pay-per-view sales are down 50% There are no new jobs and seasoned porn stars are now working at discounted rates. I would have to blame all the armature sites out there such as redtube, and youporn and a few others. Why would you want to pay 30 bucks for a 3 hour movie when you can spend 20 seconds loading a stream that you will only be watching for 10 minutes max. Don’t get me wrong I love porn as much as the next guy but I have never paid for it and I never will. As long as the Internet is up and running there will be free porn. I remember back from the 56k days when you was waiting 3 days to get a 5 minute clip. Well maybe they can take that industry and turn it around with blue ray. Oh thats wright no one wants to actually see the warts on the girls ass. Just kidding, they use great makeup.

Rants Breaking stuff

0 Comments

So for the people that know me well, know that I can break anything. I have been quoted saying “Its a couch, how can I possibly break it” and the next thing you know you hear “rippp”. Well I have succeeded at it again. again. I was trying to transfer my Windows based server over to Linux. One becuase well lets face it Windows servers suck. SO i go to my host GoDaddy and i go through the steps that I am suppose to do to change servers and I never received a confirmation that it worked. So I gave them a call and talked to one of their CSR. He said that he was showing that it was not started. He asked if I would go through the steps while I was on the phone so he could see if it worked. Well I did and it did not go through. He thought it was weird so he checked a few things on his side. He came back and said that it might be a windows based thing stopping it. Well nope was not that. He put me on another hold and came back saying that he talked to his supervisor and that he was not able to get it to change. He took the initiative to go talk to the hosting guys, and said that they could not even change it. So pretty much they have to send it up higher and have them look at it. So the moral of the story is I can fuck up anything. When i was beta testing my team was responsible for 29% of the bugs found in the service. Out of that 25% I found 12% of them with the most unique ones ever.

Update I had to switch back to windows to get it running again. But I am back and stronger than ever.

Rants America and the new “Change”

0 Comments

So Obama is truly trying to change the government to a socialist government. This will not stand. I gave the guy a chance and so far I am not impressed. He is trying to turn us to England or Canada. He is trying to pass his health care reform. I do agree that our current health care system needs changed but not the way he wants to do it. The young people are covered but the old will just get booted out. NOT cool. If he wants to change it do it the right way and provide equal coverage to everyone. There are many other aspects that are not flying with the rest of the nation. His approval rating has dropped down to 47% with a steady decline over the past few weeks. He can make a change but it has to be for the better not the worst. Please do not think that I hate the guy he has done a few thing I do approve of, such as stem cell research ban lift, I just do not want him to ruin this country.

Rants What the hell is going on these days?

0 Comments

So I was reading the news and there was this 16 year old who got kicked of of her schools drill team for some foul language on her Myspace. What kind of shit is that.What she says is what she thinks. Its called Free Speech. When did it become OK to look through a a students personal space on a social network and make a school related decision about what is posted. The story says that it was originally over a photo then changed to the foul language. Thia country is going to hell. I love my country but i hate our government. If you want to read the original story here it is. I do agree that you should be careful of what you put on the internet and set all your profiles to private to help reduce the chances of shit like this happening.
