EBay scammer gets PWNED!!!

A friend of mine sent this to me and it's absolutely hilarious. Judge Judy gives an EBay scammer who sold two sheets of paper what for. I knew eventually something like this may happen, of course it was funny the first couple of times but still, even if the person is stupid the people selling the item know damn well that nobody is going to buy a box for 400 dollars. Enjoy.

Borat is missing!

As part of my normal rounds on the Internet I discovered something really odd: the sods over at IMDB have decided that they would not include Borat on their list of DVDs that are coming soon. Also very odd is the fact that it is in fact coming VERY soon to DVD. Very soon meaning March 6th, which if you remember is only 2 short weeks away, give or take a day. Not to fear, I got ya covered. You can check it out on IMDB here or you can go to its Amazon profile here. I like!

Router Vs. Rooter

We all know that you say Potato and I Potaato but have we ever heard you say Router and I say Rooter? No, the answer is that you probably haven't. The reason for that is because there is a U in Router and there is no U in Rooter. They are both distinctively different and both very easy to read, at least to someone who is in the slight bit literate.

So why then am I doused on a daily basis with something along the lines of "I think there is something wrong with my LinkS rooter"? Well there's a very easy answer to that question: the person who said it is illiterate or just plain can't speak English. In either case I think they should either hang up immediately and join Hooked On Phonics or be thrown out of the country as an illegal immigrant.

There is always another option of course, they could call The Real Rooter.

Warez Leader Faces 10 Years In Jail

I got this from Digg. Apparently being a Warez distributor is not entirely the best profession to have. Good luck to all involved, it really sounds like you're going to need it. A very short stint for me as a teenager found that Warez sites are a haven for malicious activity. None of any of the experiences I have trying to gain access to this illegal software were pleasant. Admittedly I was wrong for even trying, but never succeeded, and hearing about this story I'm glad I never did. Most Warez sites were littered with among other things, bugs, viruses, popups, spyware, adware, and porno galore. I think they should be given a reduced sentence, basically because most of their sites are more of a deterrent than an actual reason to continue trying to download pirated software. The Story.

Coming soon to DVD

Any body interested in what new DVDs they can buy next Tuesday can rest assured, I got ya covered. Next week you can expect Tenacious D And The Pick Of Destiny if you want to rock out and actually like Tenacious D that is, and of course I do. There are random others but I haven't seen any of them, come to think of it I haven't seen Tenacious D And The Pick Of Destiny. All right I admit it I don't care to look at other movie titles I've never heard of, movies like "Tideland" and "The Return". Yeah I know, I'm so "mainstream" it's ridiculous. And if you feel like being bored on the 27th go ahead and either rent or buy Alexander: The Final Director's Cut on DVD. Funny how it says final huh? I wonder why that is, oh yeah now I remember it's because there have been about 3 releases of this trash already.

• Alexander: 2 Disc Special Edition
• Alexander: The Director's Cut (2 Disc Special Edition)
• Alexander: The Final Cut (2 Disc Collector's Edition)

Kind of funny how they change it from 2 Disc Special Edition into 2 Disc Collector's edition. That just screams to you "Hurry up and buy before I'm gone" doesn't it? Well that's until you actually watch this and realize nobody would ever buy this item from you.

Not so funny Crackdown gag

As the previous post mentioned, Crackdown hits store shelves today. Because of the Halo 3 beta that is included with it some of the junkies that play that game insist that Crackdown isn't actually a game so much as a bonus of getting the Halo 3 beta. I have to disagree with these guys, Crackdown is in itself worth purchasing and the Halo 3 beta for me is just a bonus. Maybe you'd like to pay $60 dollars for the ability to play a beta, which is a game that is incomplete and sure to have bugs, but I'd like to spend that on a full blown game. To the point, I found this while browsing Digg. It's basically some joker's idea of what Crackdown actually is, I do find it funny, but only because there are people buying it for the Halo 3 beta.

Crackdown released today

Just in case any body didn't know, Crackdown for the XBOX 360 came out today. Here is a review to get you hyped up for when you play it. There's also an XBOX live marketplace demo for those who have been zoning out for the past couple of months. I'm sure there are big banners on live for those with out enough "want to" to check marketplace for new demos every now and then.

Wireless Networks....Bane of humanity

I am not sure whose brilliant idea it was to create wireless networks, but clearly they weren't thinking straight when they did. I know people love the idea of no wires, but this technology is so imperfect that it shouldn't even be on the market yet. I get people who call in every day and complain about security keys not working, and networks that don't show up. Let's face it anyway, when it boils down to it a wired connection is much more reliable any day.

I was telling somebody just last night about the pros and cons of wireless versus wired connections. Sure, she didn't seem to agree with me, but that's because she didn't understand half the things I was saying. Every body is all about wireless because it's clean and they can use it with their laptop. Nobody ever stops to consider the notion that it's a wireless device just like any other wireless device and may be prone to the same issues.

Wireless networks are probably no big deal for someone like myself who knows what to do in the case of it failing but what happens when a DigiMoron has one?



I know you've probably seen that 10,000 times but I feel like this is what just may happen when one of the computer illiterate get their hands on a network of their own. Wireless networks are not for the computer stupid or people who expect to pick up and play. It doesn't work that way, computers don't work that way. It's not going to work 100% of the time with out any user input.

In summation, please don't buy a wireless any thing or maybe even a computer if you can't be bothered to find out important things like what your network name is. That's right folks, I said it, I talk to people who don't even know what their network name is. Guess what they also don't know: their WEP key. And sometimes they might not even have a secure network. We all know what that one means: TIME TO EAT UP SOMEONES BANDWIDTH and steal an internet connection.

BB Gun Vs. 19" Flatscreen Display

So just what does happen when you shoot an LCD monitor with a BB gun? Get ready to find out. I found this video on Digg and thought it was interesting. Click Here to see it.
