Nice collection of usefull tools to keep on a USB key, I have used one similar for years with my basic computer files as I call them, things I need on any machine I load my "Essintial list"

Record your life...

Ever forget something that you possibly said last year during a friends party when you were drunk. A guy created something that he used for 3 years now recording his conversations and takes it home to this program that transcribes and organizes everything into text that you can search and go back to later and hear the audio from it.

Re-Ripping

So I am sitting here, re-ripping my Harry Potter collection of Books on CD, for the 5th time I think, hoping I can get rip of the skips and bumps I got last time :/
no clue how I got that errors in there, but I did, so I am redoing it, and since I have gotten my iPod I don’t have to worry about the short naming scheme I did with my iRiver (blew it up :( ahh well the drive is now my pocket storage device)
So I am now going with a more interesting naming, I can finally use chapter naming instead of some silly naming convention of title acronym disc and track number :-s

Arrested for being a geek

"The police decided that wearing a rain jacket, carrying a rucksack with a laptop inside, looking down at the steps while going into a tube station and checking your phone for messages just ticked too many boxes on their checklist and makes you a terrorist suspect."

Talk about some of the most screwed up stuff I have read in a while.
Hell I went thru an intergation and 9 month long "investigation" because a co-worker turned me in for making "threats" to fellow employees. Not once did they interview anyone else I worked with about my joking (I have a dark sense of humor, only damn way to deal witht he bullshit out there lately) I have since been fired for making a bloody joke, took em 9 months to figure out I was not a threat and I have no real idea if my record has been cleaned. Fucking annoying is what this shit is.

Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics
intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches
of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper
identification, secret agents who are members of the President's
security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of
Honour winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males
between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria
Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices
that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves --
if they have any such sense. As the writer of the award winning story
"Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Come on people wake up!!!
And guess who just bombed London?????????

Goddamn Horde

WTF is it with people who play Horde, are they all cocksuckers and assholes? Never fucking fails, I try and quest, minding my own goddamn business and one or 15 of these fucks shows up, waits till I am about to kill what I am fighting and nearly dead myself, then hits me from behind so they get an "Honorable" kill. Fucking people need to get a goddamn life. I play the damn game to relax and I can't quest half the time cause I am bust getting my bleeding body back. Seems lvl 60 horde players most of all are bored and like to gank anyone they see in contested territory. WTF I ignore horde players in alliance territory by and large especially if they are low lvl or lower than me by a good margin. hell the old curtsey of waving to say your just passin thru trying to level just gets a wave and stabbed in the back for me. shit should be marked as a back-stab non-honorable kill, but no, they get the stats showing they got a kill, who cares if it was a back stab. or player 40 odd levels below them. bullshit ass PVP servers. Why I listened to people who suggested I join one is beyond me.

Great Political Joke

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her The Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you The People.
The nanny, we will consider her The Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him The Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother sound asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say's to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now,"
The father says, "Great son! Tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "The President is screwing The Working Class while The Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and The Future is in deep shit."

WILL JOHN KERRY WIN?

Article taken From Dillion Precision
http://dillonprecision.com/rl1050.cfm?dyn=1&

WILL JOHN KERRY WIN?
ONLY IF WE LET HIM!


(Note: Four years ago, prior to the 2000 presidential election, I wrote a cautionary Blue Press article, the very title of which offended a number of our gentle readers. This year, I have resolved to avoid using "potty language" in describing the anti-gun candidate, his adherents and those gun owners who may unwittingly contribute to his victory. I can only hope that this exercise in forbearance will be as effective as my earlier, less compassionate approach.)

I've talked to a number of gun owners recently, all intelligent gentlemen who should know better, who said they were either not going to vote in the upcoming presidential election, or would vote for some protest candidate. Their reason? Apparently, George W. Bush had taken a position they didn't like, be it on immigration, Iraq or whatever, and they were going to teach him a lesson.

This is a wonderful example of cutting off the old schnozzola in order to spite one's face. Let's make this very simple: any vote that does not go to Bush, automatically is a vote for John Kerry. And a vote for John Kerry is, whether you like it or not, a vote to flush our Second Amendment rights down the toilet. Yes, I know that Kerry made a big deal out of having himself photographed hunting upland game. But, that photo op aside, let's look at the record. John Kerry's record on gun rights is, unlike the rest of his voting record, amazingly consistent. He has received a 100% rating from the Brady Campaign (HCI) and from the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. He has voted against protecting firearms manufacturers against junk lawsuits. He has proclaimed his support for the renewal of the Brady Act, the hi-cap magazine ban and a ban on so-called assault weapons. Is Kerry pro-hunting? He has received a 100% rating from both the Humane Society of the United States and the Fund for Animals. Neither of these organizations consider hunting as a worthwhile, legal or moral pursuit. Kerry has even managed to surpass his mentor, Ted Kennedy, in anti-gun votes. In fact, when he was on the campaign trail, he made the effort to return to Washington just to cast votes inimical to American gun owners and firearms manufacturers.

So, what's the big deal if Kerry actually does become President? Many say that he could easily be over-ridden by a Republican-dominated Senate and/or House. That is, assuming that the Republicans will have control of either or both bodies after this election. But most important, as President, Kerry would have the opportunity to put up his favorite people for Supreme Court positions, vacancies that might likely occur soon, since several Justices are getting on in years or failing in health. And who might Kerry's choices be? Well, one name that immediately comes to mind is that of Hillary Clinton aka The Smartest Woman in the World. Another likely choice is the other Senator from New York, Charles Schumer. Want more delightful possibilities? How about Dianne Feinstein and Mr. Wonderful himself, Ted Kennedy? Imagine a Supreme Court vote on Second Amendment rights with one or several of those deep thinkers on the high bench. How long do you suppose it would be before your Remington 870 is banned as an "assault weapon," or your scoped Ruger M77 MKII Varmint/Target as a "sniper rifle?" As for your handguns..really now, why would you want to endanger your family and neighbors by owning one of those?

Having observed the defeat that American gun owners handed to Al Gore in 2000, today's anti-gun politicians are taking a different line. They insist that they will stand up for your rights under the Second Amendment. This of course refers to their interpretation of your rights under the Second Amendment, which means whatever bones the lawmakers are disposed to throw to you. They will claim, as does Senator Kerry, to be hunters. The question is, are they hunters when the cameras aren't rolling? Liberal politicians do not believe that lying is in itself a bad thing, as long as the ultimate end is what they perceive as good.

For the American gun owner who wants to remain a gun owner, there is one, and only one criterion for judging a candidate, presidential or other. That is, "Will this candidate stand up for my right to self-defense?" If the candidate does not trust you with the tools of self-defense, be it a so-called assault rifle, handgun, rifle, shotgun or whatever, that candidate essentially does not acknowledge your right to live. Without the unencumbered right to keep and bear arms, you are not truly a free person or a citizen; you are a subject, serf or slave.

America's freedom was won with guns. Today, America's gun owners are the last bastion of freedom in a ever more regulated, monitored and repressive world order. We have seen the chaos that the United Nations' world view has brought to this suffering planet. John Kerry sees nothing wrong with an America under U.N. rule. It is only our inactivity that will allow him to succeed.

Well, Another Day has passed

Well, day after my birthday :/
as normal was pretty much another day for me, I did get to the range, which is always fun, let's me hear loud booms and work on my marksmanship, which is ALWAYS a good thing, if you own a firearm, you should practice with it so you can hit what you are aiming at not something totally different, only safe way to own one in my opinion. Well just wanted to jot a few thoughts down, better be off, maybe I can find a lead on a new job, since the FBI is still dragging there heels and not figuring out I am no threat to anyone, but that is for
my rant
HI HI
