Well back to the grind

It was a heck of a relaxing few days as my mom came to visit. Yea I know relaxing and parents visiting doesn’t normally belong in the same sentence but it was actually quite enjoyable.  She is a great cook and so now I’ve got a freezer and fridge full of delicious home cooked food to keep me from going to grab some fast food of some kind, normally this is the wife’s job but she’s out of the country with the USAF so this works out quite well.  I’ll get back to posting properly in the days to come now that I will be returning to my usual computing schedule 😉

Weeee Comcast could get what they deserve… but probably not

“A study conducted last year by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and independently verified by the Associated Press revealed that Comcast interferes with BitTorrent and Gnutella sessions by sending TCP “reset” packets to users. Despite the growing body of unambiguous evidence, Comcast still denies allegations that it specifically targets BitTorrent. Comcast vice president David Cohen told us that the company’s traffic control mechanisms conform to the FCC’s definition of “reasonable network management” practices (which are allowed by the FCC), but critics don’t agree that Comcast’s management is anything “reasonable.” The FCC today indicated that “reasonable” practices should be transparent.””Numerous advocacy groups have filed FCC complaints over the issue, and they contend that Comcast’s behavior is a flagrant violation of the network neutrality principles outlined in the FCC’s Internet Policy Statement. A class-action lawsuit against Comcast over traffic blocking is also in the works. Aggravated consumers and digital rights activists aren’t the only ones calling foul. Comcast’s competitors, who have traditionally expressed criticism of network neutrality, have also called for an FCC investigation of Comcast’s BitTorrent blocking.” –Ars Technica

God I hope the FCC sticks it to them, although I doubt they will judging from personal experience..

The weekly rant

– Fuck you Hillary Clinton, don’t go on TV and cry just because someone said you weren’t personable.

– Fuck you Democratic party for not understanding that the terrorists in the middle east don’t care who we are or what we want, it is in their religion, it is in their blood to hate the west regardless of who that may be.. this isn’t something that can be changed in any short (decades) period of time.  It’s been that way for centuries.. can you finally catch up?

– Fuck you WGA of America for not allowing new TV shows when my Wife is in another country causing me some boring ass nights.

– Fuck you parents of the under belly of today’s youth, learn to raise your kids correctly and not let them either a) become pregnant at 13 and become trailer trash b) lazy with their hands held out for food stamps and welfare c) contribute to the pussification of todays men d) become britney spears

Fuckin’ sheeple…
