Onward Forevermore…
September 14, 2009
Gazing upon the vast hulk of corporate oligarchy that is invested upon us.
is it fair for us, as a people with free will, to say it wasn’t our fault?
It certainly is not.
The truth is, without a conscious reversal,
the police state is upon us.
The powers that be have learned from past mistakes…
Now only the select few, enlightened, notice anything really different at all.
What has history taught us?
People revolt only when they are hungry or deprived of material goods.
We are a people of plenty. I fear that when the point of starvation comes,
the backlash will be bloody beyond anything mankind has ever seen.
We are no longer on the brink of a new era…
We are here, now, to witness the product of this wicked metamorphosis.
What will you choose to do?
Stand by for orders?
Or make the orders yourself?
You, you, you are the bearer of your own will.
Keep your eyes open and your heart protected.
Solution to high DPC latency in Window Vista/7
September 8, 2009
I had been battling with the problem for literally months across many different versions of Windows and hardware configurations. Many across the internet have had the problem of high DPC latency in Windows Vista and Windows 7. The latency causes severe tearing and distortion while playing music or watching videos, regardless of the performance load on the computer.
I was getting levels of DPC latency literally 1,000-3,000 times the norm. Disabling my wireless adapter lessened the problem, but who wants a laptop without wireless?
Most thought it to be something IRQ or I/O related, but, at least in my experience, the solution was much less complicated.
It’s Comodo Firewall!
Uninstalling the program immediately solved the problem 100%. Do yourself a favor and try it out.
(Personal Post) In a rough spot…
August 31, 2009
…and racking my brain for a solution to really quite conflicting parameters…
I want to be in college.
I see my friends who are there now, most of them with money (from their parents), and I’m envious. A lot of them don’t have to worry about how much it costs or what’s going to happen if they run out of money for food.
Maybe I just want that ideal image I have in my head of going off to college, doing some light homework and partying, finally graduating and getting a good job and living without stress because well….I went to college.
I know that’s not how it happens.
At the same time, however, I know that if I spend that entire next three+ years in college, I will have wasted 80% of the primetime of my life to get a boring job with shitty benefits because everyone else has a college degree too.
Older people grew up in a time where getting a college degree pretty much guaranteed you a living wage. No matter how much I try to convince Jan’s father, he just doesn’t get that it’s simply not that way anymore. A college degree might…IF YOU’RE LUCKY…get you a job as a copy machine in an office, but not after you’ve spent $30,000 to get there.
So I’m left wondering if I should just get a job now, save up lots of money, go somewhere I want to be, and worry about college when I, and my parents, can even afford it. After all, my dad is getting older and he’ll need to retire eventually. I don’t want to fuck that up for him. As for my mom, well…my mom is struggling herself.
I’ve been dealing with this for a long…….long……long time, relatively speaking.
It’s shitty, but money would really make my life at least a little bit easier when it comes to decisions like these. Right now I, almost past the point of rationality, am considering lottery tickets. LOTTERY TICKETS!
All in all, however, my problems are small. I am lucky to be so privileged. I eat, sleep in comfort, and have friends and family that I love. What more should I ask for?
Observations
August 30, 2009
This is great! Found via Facebook comment.
1. I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
4. I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?
5. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
6. That’s enough, Nickelback.
7. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
8. Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know” feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?
9. Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
10. There is a great need for sarcasm font.
11. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.
12. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.
13. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
14. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
15. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
16. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
17. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
18. Was learning cursive really necessary?
19. Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.
20. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
21. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
22. My brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.
23. Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
24. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
25. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
26. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”
27. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
28. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
29. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
30. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
31. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
32. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
33. I would like to officially coin the phrase ‘catching the swine flu’ to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: “Dave caught the swine flu last night.”
34. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
35. Bad decisions make good stories
36. Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
37. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
38. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
39. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem….
40. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
41. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.
42. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
43. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
44. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
45. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV.. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
46. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
47. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
48. When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
49. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
50. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
51. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
52. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
53. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
54. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
55. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
56. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
57. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?
58. It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
59. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
60. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
61. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
62. The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner

Biting debt collectors in the jugular
November 3, 2008
Most people don’t know how to deal with debt collectors. In fact, it is this weakness that gives them all the power in the field. These companies are only able to operate out of the fear of the ignorant, and it is entirely in their interest to make sure everyone stays that way. Unfortunately for them, their tactics are a dual-edged sword; those with even a basic understanding of how the law works, specifically contract law, are self-endowed with the quintessential bane of credit debt collection.
Electronic credit (which comprises most of the credit these days) relies on people accepting binary code as a valuable object. Credit companies do not lose anything tangible when you use the credit they give you. You see, credit companies work on an EFT (electronic funds transfer) system. When you open a credit line with their company, they are using your signature as a value. In other words, their books are balanced the moment you sign for a card. When you use your credit card to “purchase” a good, there is absolutely nothing coming out of the pockets of the companies.
What they do next is ask you to “pay them back”. In essence, however, giving them dollar bills in exchange for them leaving you alone is not only extortion, but double-paying. You have already paid them with your signature the moment you sign for the card.
I might not be making much sense here; it’s a little tricky once a person first hears it. I’ll provide some links below for more information on what the hell I’m talking about.
Less than a week after I turned 18, I was presented with literal piles of mail which contained advertisements begging me to open a credit line. Being young and in deep lust with my newfound independence, I opened 6 credit accounts over the course of two months, eventually drying each one of them up like a man on fire. A couple months later I received the inevitable collection letters. A couple weeks after that the constant out-of-state phone calls began.
I was a mess. My heart raced every time the phone rang. I stopped opening mail, knowing that it would do nothing but hurt me to do so. My family, having already been through this kind of thing offered to help, but my pride wouldn’t let me accept any of it. Looking back it almost feels as if the back of my head was telling me to ignore the collection harassment, as if there was something coming to save me if I just waited a little bit longer.
I could not have been more right. I am 20 now and have taken these collection companies by the balls, so to speak. Before I delve into the finer details, please try to remember one thing: debt collectors and credit pushers are desperate for your ignorance. Without it, they’re the biggest joke on the planet.
Without going too far into the inefficiency of credit at the basic level, here’s how this all works.
All Law is Contract Law
Read that again. All – Law – Is – Contract – Law. What does this mean? Basically, you can’t be held accountable for things you weren’t told. There are four basic requirements for a contract to be valid:
1. Full disclosure
2. Equal consideration
3. Lawful terms and conditions
4. Signatures of the parties/meeting of the minds
Now, how does this apply to credit? In every way.
1. Full Disclosure (we are not told that we are creating the credit with our signature);
2. Equal Consideration (they bring nothing to the table, hence they have nothing to lose);
3. Lawful Terms and Conditions (they are based upon fraud); and
4. Signatures of the Parties/ Meeting of the Minds (corporations can’t sign because they have no right, or mind, to contract as they are legal fictions).

As much as Obama seems to me to be…
October 23, 2008
…a big lie,
I think I’m just going to take one for the team and vote for him this time instead of Ron Paul. I DO NOT WANT McCAIN to WIN THIS ELECTION.
And despite the media, the Republicans have (Democrats too, but to a lesser extent) a documented history of rigging elections. So McCain DOES have a much much much better chance of being elected than the mass media wants to admit to its viewers.
Here’s what’s going to happen in my life if McCain is elected:
I will finish the month of school I have left after the election, and then move out of this hopeless country. I’m not even joking. I pawn off everything I don’t absolutely need and head for Asia or Europe.
Considering that, I kind of hope McCain wins now! JK JK JK
‘Top international military officials meet in Adirondacks’
October 20, 2008

SARANAC LAKE – Powerful generals and admirals from some of the most powerful nations on Earth are reportedly meeting somewhere in the local area this weekend after flying into the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear on Friday.
Among the passengers of a large Boeing 757 airplane with “United States of America” printed on its fuselage were top members of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and their counterparts from France, Germany and another country, possibly Great Britain, according to Barry DeFuria, a town of Harrietstown councilman and Airport Committee member who was there when the plane landed. A top military delegation from Italy flew in on a separate Falcon airplane, DeFuria said.
Town Supervisor Larry Miller, also on the Airport Committee, was also there and confirmed which nations’ officials were on which planes, but he said he did not know what kind of officials they were or where they were going from the airport. He said he and DeFuria had to get security clearances to be present and that soldiers were guarding the 757 around the clock at the airport.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff is the leadership council of the U.S. military, comprised of the top general or admiral of each branch of the armed services. Its current chairman is Admiral Michael Mullen.
That’s it. No major media coverage….just one single small article in a local newspaper. Does this not concern the media that top military leaders from around the world are meeting, and they seem to want to make sure no one is aware? What are they planning?
One thing is for sure; something big is about to happen.
Meh….nobody reads this blog anyway :/
Dow plunges 500 points
October 6, 2008
The Dow is below 10,000 for the first time in nearly 10 years. They are not alone. Russia, Brazil, Ireland, Canada, Germany, Austria, Denmark, and Indonesia stock markets have fallen 10 percent so far today. Iceland suspended trading. Austria and the Netherlands halted for some time.

I say “they” because this is not our, we-the-people’s, mess. It’s a mix of greedy homicidal banksters and a fiat monetary system. Looks like they expect us to clean up their tracks as usual 
- Dow industrials plunge 500 amid global sell-off
- Stocks stumble at open
UPDATE:
DOW is now down 630 points (6%). – 12:10 MST
Bailout bill passes; United States descends into fascism.
October 3, 2008
This is it. The bailout bill has passed the Senate and House, in that order (unconstitutional, by the way). Today I officially declare the United States to be ruled by a fascist regime. We as a people can no longer presume to be protected by the Constitution, nor expect our representatives to listen to our needs and desires. What has happened today should do nothing less than convince people that Washington, DC has completely terminated their mutual relationship with the people.
There is no going back for the government at this point.
We are on our own now.
- House Bailout Bill Friday Vote: YEA – 263, NAY – 171
- House finally passes $700 billion economic bailout
