GEEKIN' OUT

SOP/PIPA...not the mexican one either.

So I am going to put my money where my mouth is. I am hopping on the wagon. Doing my part.

Here is some RatM to get you in the mood too.


works on my lady...


Now do your. Stop posting about about it. Stop Tweeting about it. Do.

I have written a nice little form letter for you to fill out and send your rep. Who you can find
here.

You can use the form letter below or your own. But...if you dont act, you cant bitch.

Here it is in word.


 

Dear Representative [Rep's Last Name]

 

My name is [YOUR NAME], and I’m one of your constituents living in [CITY/TOWN]. I realize that your duties serving us likely take up much of your time, and I appreciate you taking a few minutes to read this; So I will be brief.

My primary reason for contacting you today is to inquire as to your thoughts regarding the ‘Stop Online Piracy Act’ (SOPA). Succinctly, where do you stand?

 I’d like to take this opportunity, while I still have your attention, to point out a few technical truths regarding SOPA, from a DNS Engineering (Doman Name System) and Network Engineering standpoint.

Also, please be aware that by no means is it my intent to insult your intelligence, I assume that you have researched this topic in earnest, and have consulted with professionals and experts. However, I would like mention a few. If you’re already versed in the technical aspects please bear the following no mind:

-The functional setup of SOPA’s proposed site blocking -- via DNS blocking -- is effectively Identical to how the Great Firewall of China works. While the intended purpose is obviously different, the actual mechanism for blocking is nearly identical.

-DNS blocking would set back a decade’s worth (or more) of work on online security standards; would make people significantly less safe online and runs the risk of literally fragmenting the internet.

-DNS Registration will be fair game, meaning an ‘offending’ or ‘infringing’ website could be taken down entirely.

Example: “For example, if the domain “example.com” was a foreign infringing site, a law enforcement agency could petition Verisign (the registry operator of the .com TLD) to remove the relevant DNS records that provide the delegation for example.com.

One should note that the impact of such a suspension would have a worldwide impact. All users of the domain name would no longer be able to access services offered by that domain.

I know that you have many vital duties and thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply.

 

Cordially,

Science Never Fails...To Convince Me That We Will Be Killed in the Most James Cameron Way Possible




God, I hope I get killed by an iceberg...or even a violent facehumping alien...anything that isn't a robot.

That's Not Creepy...oh wait, Yes It Is!

In an effort to ensure that my dreams are plagued with Orwellian themes, Microsoft has worked day and night to bring about the next gen Kinect. Now, I am not into the whole motion based controls thing, I have an assortment of sports balls, guns, knives, motorcycle, and even a Kompressor...so If I want to motion control something I play Outdoors.

That said, I do from time to time wonder about the Kinect (read: Fiancée wonders, read: 3 months no post=wedding planning). Then I remember my much sought after Wii which is...somewhere. Anyway, point is I am not a fan. But if you are be warned, at least according to Eurogamer.

"Kinect 2 will be so powerful it will enable games to lip read, detect when players are angry, and determine in which direction they are facing. Kinect 2 can track the pitch and volume of player voices and facial characteristics to measure different emotional states."

Whhhhhaaaa?

It’s like 1984 all over again! (If you don’t get it, its ok...not my best) Why would I have that in my house? I am not paranoid, but I just don’t like the idea of people being able to watch, track, and listen to my every move. I take the battery out of my cell phone whenever I ...do stuff. So if you don’t like the sun, have the dough, an Xbox, and the urge to have the eye of sauron in your living room then check out the upcoming Kinect 2.

Oh and it has hi res.

Holy F#*king S&@^! Chinese Pills are 99.7% Dead Baby!




So...yea. It has been reported that A Korean TV Documentary Team has supposedly found a hosiptal that sells dead babies. "Mostly" Abortions and stillborns...selling them to "Medical Companies"... According to team hospital staff have been instructed to immediatedly alert the medical company when there is a "deceased baby case". This all occurs with the mother's consent supposedly.

The Doc Team has reportedly uncovered that the "companies" store the dead babies in a "normal family's refrigerator", to avoid dectection and then use a "medical drying microwave". Finally they grind the baby into a powder and encapsulate it....

They claim to have paid well to obtain some of these pillss and when tested found them to be 99.7% Human. They were even able to determine the babies' sex from the pills.


What worries me the most is if they are 99.7% dead babies then what the hell is in the other.3%?!?! Cancer AIDS Flu???

Special aired on Aug 6th on SBS in South Korea...yea, the good one.

An Indian Scientist, Dr. Mohamed Babu has created Rainbow ants in his own backyard. He achieved this by, get this.... feeding them. That is right he feed them colored sugar water and tada! An acid trip without the Beatles soundtrack.


no word as to wether this turned the ants gay or not.




now if he could only make them bubble gum or pina colada flavored...

you can find out more here. Now go out to the backyard and make a rainbow.

Also, just so you know...you should never ever feed ants...and never NEVER taste the rainbow.
