This is Staten Island - a Driving Introduction

Welcome to Staten Island, NY. Here's an introduction and the basic idea of this video series.

 

Why Ubuntu sucks (and how to fix it)

Let me preface this article by saying that I use Ubuntu 9.04 24/7. It's my primary computer. I keep Firefox (when it's not crashing), Thunderbird, and X-Chat open all of the time, and I use OpenOffice.org for all of my office application needs. I use KDevelop as my IDE, and gFTP for my FTP needs.

With that being said, Ubuntu has some serious usability flaws. Before you Linux nerds get your panties in a twist, let me state that I'm picking on Ubuntu for two reasons: it's the most popular desktop Linux distribution, and "Ubuntu" gets more hits in Google and more recognized on Digg than "desktop Linux." Yes, I'm blogging for money - suck on that you twisted socialist nutjobs.

OK apparently I have some mental issues. Let's get back on track: Ubuntu has issues that really need to be corrected. These are, for the most part, behavioral issues that can be solved by the developers or by installing additional applications. Others are more systemic and cannot be fixed by a piece of code.

 

i maek viddya <3 #2

I got tired of Doug & Co's attempts to make mindfuckery videos and fail, so here's some brainshit that is sure to be sufficient mindfuck material. If not, it'll at least keep you up at nights.

If You Were a Spy... Episode 1

If you were a spy, what would you do with a battery charger?

 

Ask a Mobster - How do I get my money back?!

Jimmy want's to know how to get some money he loaned to a lazy SOB back.

 

Staten Island Mall "Golden Age" Books

For anyone who frequents the Staten Island Mall, the Cult of Scientology is apparently preparing for some kind of event there. The mall is literally littered with advertisements for books about the "Golden Age" - all of them authored by L Ron Hubbard.

The center "courtyard" (Staten Island being the rats ass of the world, "courtyard" is a very generous term) has been cleared of the usual street merchants and is currently empty with a big ol "Golden Age" banner hanging from the rafters.

I guess those psychotic motherfuckers are planning on selling their books this holiday season.

American Financial Slavery

It took me too long to realize this: there's no such thing as freedom. Not in America, not in Canada, not on planet Earth. As long as there are artificial social sub-classes that create and enforce laws, there can never be true freedom.

 

Bush to Economy: lol wut?

Did anyone else catch the special address by the president this morning? if not, I'll sum it up for you:

"Hai guise. I know the markets suck, sry. Bai guise!"

What a way to install confidence in the stock market. We would've been better if someone took a piss on Bush's head.

 

Metallica, Death Magnetic, and More

Let's face the facts: I'm a Metallica fanboy. On the face of it, I like Death Magentic, and I especially like how DM seems like an effort to put the Metal back in Metallica. Of course, there are a few things I can complain about, like the clipping issues and how the record seems to have been practically suffocated by the loudness wars.

 

My Thoughts on Spore

If you're interested, I wrote an extensive Spore review. TL;DR, here's the rundown:

  1. DRM sucks ASS. 3 installs. Uninstalls don't count. 4th one by begging EA. 5th one needs a new license.
  2. SecuROM sucks my balls and if I ever meet the people who own that company I will personally end their lives by force feeding them my feces till they're fucking dead.
  3. Gameplay is shit. Camera in space is shit. Battles are shit.
 

What the hell is going on here?

Anyone? A guess? I'm lost.

Wife Needs Sperm!

Here's a new portion of the site I'd like to call "Crazy Craigslist" - CL has some crazy shit going on. It's like a community message board for sociopaths. Anyway, here's the first installment!

Wife Needs Sperm !

In serach of men to donante their sperm so I can put in wifes food. Been doing this for years and am willing to trade personal items of hers for this task. Must be D&D free. Age is not an issue or race. 


 

ProjectXI Shit

I've bee working on Project XI for the last couple of weeks, and boy let me tell you: Final Fantasy XI is fucked up. I don't mean that it's a bad game (though it does cater to a very hardcore audience), but I mean from a design standpoint, it is painful to think about the decisions Square-Enix has made; for example:

  • The SE server trusts the client in some cases, such as client position and speed, which is a terrible flaw that allows Notorious Monster campers to just 'warp' around maps with ease.
 

Yet antoher meetup?

I'll be at the Broadway Comedy Club tonight at 7pm cheering on River Huston, a successful motivational speaker turned comedian, who will be performing at the Graduation Class.

Hit me up on twitter if you're interested.

 

Metallica Needs a New Online Strategy

I've been a part of the online world for so many years now. I started my online "career" playing on the Red Dragon Inn, a local BBS role-playing game (now long since dead) in 1986. I was four years old. Since then, I've traversed The Sierra Network, merged with the ImagiNation! Network, played on Prodigy, America Online, Erols Dialup Internet, and finally finding my way to a broadband Internet connection.
