Ah, Sony. Where the stupid live and the idiots shop.
Stupid. Expecting people to go for yet another closed content environment when there’s so much more available *without* their supposed DRM (digital rights management) software getting in the way. Idiotic: actually buying the crap rather than getting the same thing legally, free, and without 50 gazillion restrictions that all boil … Read the rest

Some wake-up calls are not good things to have.
And, when your power goes out 5 minutes before you plan to shower, that’s not a wake-up call you want to have any part of… especially when you’re not on municipal water, and so depend on electricity for your running water… kinda like us. So, there was lots of excitement … Read the rest

Some people’s logic is just laughable.
Or maybe it’s the 4:30-ness of the post that’s doing it. I dunno. If you didn’t have permission to write a book about someone in the first place, would you later sue said person for *anything* related to said book, and then order said person to officially endorse said book, … Read the rest

And you thought I’d go 2 days without blogging.
Heh, yeah, that could happen. Because I have such a crammed schedule and all. Well, I was just going to leave some vague entry up here about how absolutely nothing happened, but then I had to go find an excuse to do what I do best; bitch about stupidity. So, … Read the rest

The record labels’ solution to the music download problem: give ’em another format no one wants.
So now, rather than doing something to make things *easier* for people to put music on their computers, so they don’t have to go and do exactly what the record labels are shitting bricks about, they decide it’d be more fun to stick music on a DVD. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. … Read the rest

Now he’s just stirring the pot.
I can’t be the only person who’s sick and tired of hearing anything and everything middle-east. And now, one of the local whackjobs is trying to get his share of attention. Again.

I’ll take a cheap host with periods of down time any day.
Especially if the choice is between these folks, who I use now, and these duds, who I’ll be cancelling once all the important crud’s been transfered over. Why, you ask? Well, okay, so maybe you don’t ask. I don’t care. The answer is simple. I pay $15+ per month at … Read the rest

Due to technical difficulties…
… the job I’m being interviewed for is haveing said interview temporarily put on hold while they track down a piece of software they need? I dunno, part of me wants to be all paranoid at the guy who’s supposed to be doing my assessment, and figure it’s just a … Read the rest

What’s in a promise?
Well, that was a short 48 hours. Israel’s back in the US mindset. They’ve managed to piss off a good majority of the world now, resuming their bombing runs and whatnot… but they don’t seem to give two shits. And the US still won’t back a ceasefire… an *immediate* ceasefire. … Read the rest

Israel has become another bloody US.
As if bombing the hell out of a country isn’t bad enough, now they hit a civilion refuge. And neither the US nor Canada, nor anyone else who isn’t directly affected by the bombings, is calling for a ceasefire. Yeah, okay, I can see the US not wanting a ceasefire–everyone … Read the rest
