Is the tail shaking the dog?

WTH? Is the tail shaking the dog?
What's wrong with this world. Other day i saw site where one was defending IE, and attacking FX. Ok firefox really sucks a lot, but IE is even (far) worst. No to say the worst browser ever!
In my short expirence with internet, i changed from Netscape to Opera in 1999/2000, in 98 i was forced to use IE at school, and at home sometimes. But netscape was for sure my first browser.
This makes a big difference, since i didn't know internet at first time throught IE.
Most people that did use netscape, or other browser before knowing IE, are less likly to use FX, and, to be firefox fanboy fanatics!
Opera is a superior browser, it's not meant to be used by any lammer...
Now the poem part...

I live exposed to every one's look
Everybody observes me, but no one is so critic as me
I like to be aware of all detail
Notice the unotice
The world is ten times bigger and complex for me

Yeah, i usually notice what most people don't. I get scared "how come? it's right on your face", and i remeber those details. Tomorrow there's going to be terrible interview with me. I know the guy, he's delicated as a elephant... really, that man is rude, and will try everything to put me down.
I'm sure he'll say lots of things about me life, as if he could predict something, but he's a stupid.
It's hard to remember this during the interview, and most people really get down, i have some friends who left crying...
But let's see, i'll do my best. :smile:

What's the matter now bitch, why aren't you laughing?

What's the matter now bitch, why aren't you laughing?
Because there's nothing funny on a dickless head with a battery on his ass.

Walls protect you, but they can also hide you, squeeze you.
A wall is hard, but you can always open as door on it. A door can be closed, or locked.

Now i'm having real work here... no more brainless, but i still got some free time. I wouldn't live without free time!
Today i saw some new beautiful lady on the hotel breakfast. Interesting, but just that.
I like popero music.
I installed mega drive sega genesis emulator on my co-worker computer, and he played for 1 hour :D
LOL
So i thought my ppl access porn and other content not relative to work, in work?
First idea was that these people don't have computer+internet at home, so their first contact, or even unique, to internet is at work.
Well, of course nowadays most of people have it, its getting easy to buy a computer. But, they don't have enough time at home, to be browsing randomly, to discover the internet.
Then i get to think, if they do it at work, well maybe they have too much free time at work. And too little at home. So we should work less?
But what happened to rules? I'm sure most offices don't allow users to be playing Quake 3 during work... Why are people going on this way?
Why we stop doing our job, to go browse something, read yahoo news, etc.
Hmmm, this is the key. We doo it because the job is boring!
So if your company is facing a huge porn access from your employs here are my magic steps:
  1. Be sure all workers have computer AND internet access at home. (no dial-up! c'mon) If they don't, provide a ISP, company can even get a good discount if it brings up to 50 users to one ISP. Don't buy a pc, but teach them where to buy, and also get discounts on stores.
  2. Allow them go home early, forget fulltime work everyday. It's better to be home 2 hours earlier then usual 2 days of the week. This provide free time, and allow people to organize they personal tasks.
    In some cases, you can have a free time during lunch where network is open to any use, but do not allow personal use, it's better not to mix things.
  3. Do a meeting with everyone and explain WHY they shouldn't be browsing anything at work. Don't expect people to read some agreement they sign up...
  4. Keep the job exiting, create different tasks each month, apart from the 'normal' job every one has.
  5. Firewall, proxy and content filtering may look like a STOP sign for most people, but for some they look more like a challenge sign "bypass me if you can". This people have a virtue, and you must know how to use it on your company.

Want the best? Here I am!

, , , ...

I want the best, to be and to do. But usually my best is related com computer. There's no scape in my life, i better with a computer.
Sometimes even cellphone seems complicated, that maybe because of their crazy OS organization, no mouse and small screen. I've heard googles OS is really nice.

Now about privacy. No ip retention !
Ok, why would you need to record every user ip ? For nothing!
IP is like your ID card, when you enter a store to LOOK (not shop) some products, you don't need to show your ID.
When you enter some Club (night club, disco club whatever), you by most SHOW your ID to prove you're not under age, and thats ok! Thats the law. But no one record your id.
So why sites should?
When you go on a public health clinic, and get some free condoms (YES, in some countries we have !) no one record your ID.
When you enter a BUS/Subway, no one record your ID. When you buy newspaper with few coins, no one records your ID!
Then again why servers should?
The internet it self is free. When simple sites and hosts record ip, it makes possible to lawyers abuse and even censorship (as some fellow we know in Latin America...).
Many will say "if you have nothing to hide, why worry?"
Well, maybe in the future, i'll need to hide my thoughts, maybe some one don't agree with my ideas...

And last, but NOT THE MAIN REASON, file sharing. If one uploads copyrighted content, and has hes/her ip loggeg, thats danger!
Ok, so upload copyrighted material without authorization is illegal.
And you'll say "oh the company/creator will be loosing money it could gain on selling"
But we got to face, does the company make it EASIER to customer to access their product?
At least the company sell that product in that customer country???????
Does it sell online or real shop?
If its only online, does the website display IN THE CUSTOMER LANGUAGE?
And more, is the price worth? Or abusive? (like ms windows)

Because if one company doesn't sell their product on my country stores, do not have online-shop website on my language, what does exactly make them think i'll buy (and how) that product?
If they are not interested in selling here, or they think my country isn't a worth marketing, that maybe chine is better. Well, i guess they can't complain about crackz and keygen, pirated and warez version on their product running on my pc!
This is competition, they can't expect someone to just not use the product. "Ok, we don't sell on your country, but you can't use it either" WTF?
I'm not saying i'm for pirate products, but companies should have a closer view of other markets.
It's so easy to say "if you want the product go to the site and buy" What if the site is in some language you don't understand a word? They just lost you as a costumer...
Maybe for some people this doesn't make sense, because they might have all products in the world on their stores, and 99% of sites in english...
But we must think on the rest of the world.

Don't push me down, 'cause I'm close to the edge...

, , , ...

It's a like a jungle sometimes, and makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under...
Broken glass everywhere, people pissing on the stairs, you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back, junkies in the alley with a baseball bat...

The abandoned Intercontinental Hotel in Puerto Rico, from wikipedia

Today, more brainless work... making holes on sheets of paper.
Keep my search on Internet freedom and legal torrents, public domain, etc.
Found one interesting game, Fortress Forever, I'll try it at home.
I do support freeware, open source, well... that would be the next step, but just be free is enough for me and most users.
I still feel some pain in my left arm, and back. The hotel seems less noisy these days.
BTW, some stupids here at work are picking on me because i'm at the hotel, they try in every way, to get me away. They tell me about someone they know, that is renting an apartment... keep repeating that i spent too much on a hotel. One even said "but for him isn't a problem, he's son a big farmer" ¬¬ WTF! I have no farm, nor big company behind me. Poor idiots, why they want me to go live somewhere else? because most of them will get some money with this!
Bastards, i'm not going to move from the hotel. I'v been here 2 times before moving, and almost no one at the company had any useful information about a room to rent.
Also, i refuse my self to share house and/or toilet with some stranger for 3 long months.
What's wrong, i just don't want to! My choice.
Hate when people try to tell me how i should live my life, interfering on what i do.
Some need the learn more educated attempts and not "oh no man, you pay too much, go my fathers house, i get a room for you..." blablabla before that, it's missing "WOULD you like to live somewhere else" "IF you want to, i can get ...".
Hate when poor people pick on me as if i where a millionaire or something like that, and that other been rich is the reason for their poverty. BTW, they lack more education then money...
Most of them even have a computer, common!
Just leave me alone, in peace. I can have fun with a TV, a paper, anything. Don't need this bastards.
And to end, another quoting, this time won't tell the source...
"A -...year contract, guarantee... what do you think?
B - I'll tell you what i think of it... I live to see you eat that contract but i hope you leave enough room for my fist, because I'm going to ram into your stomach and break your god damn spineEE!!!"

Ow no, not me, I did it my way...

, , , ...

Yeah, don't blame me, i did it my way. I know sometimes i do my best, but my best isn't good enough. Don't thank me, thank Tim Berners Lee...
All that working yesterday left with a pain in back and arms.
I keep reading about internet freedom, and censorship. I found this very interesting site http://www.neutrality.ca/ the idea of moving to Canada isn't so bad...
I had a dream with Jessica again... She had passed the exam to enter university, in reality she didn't even take the test last year...
In my dream she was picking on me, because she had 5th place... and i, don't know what shit i was doing in my dream, but she didn't like it. LOL She'll never read this anyway, useless dream.
Maybe it means she ain't that different from me, and could, in the future, enter same university. Or even she's smarter then i though... oh my little skinny brunette...when will I see you again...
Still doing nothing here at work, i hope i get something so that i can write on my report... otherwise i'm screwed.
Who cares wtf i write here... people don't comment and even vote on my poll, years old atm.
I like voting on polls :smile: Edited: Thanks to one who just voted!
Ah, now i eat cookies at the hotel, after a early dinner :smile: while watch TV News.

Is there life, without love? Is it live, without freedom?

, , , ...

If you can't love, and be loved, then what for you exist? Yesterday i was thinking, how boring life could be without love, don't understand how ppl live this way. Maybe they just have their secret loves, they dont tell or show anyone. Some love the TV, who knows...
While watching the news, i feel like i needed to do something for poor ppl, but why, what, i don't know. Maybe build a square with playground.
But why live, if you can't have freedom. What use would your brain do without freedom, apart from math...
There's a nice song that says "Without love, there's no reason to live..."
This night i had dream with Jessica, was hugging her on the elevator, but then we had go out before things got spicier... who cares anyway, who knows her... at least i believe no one who's reading this post know her. That skinny elegant girl is amazing...
For me the best dreams (night dreams, when asleep) are the ones you remember. Thats some kind of magic on this, like a connection to dream-world. It's like a souvenir you bring from that outstanding universe... WTF

When talking about freedom:

There's this world largest Invisible machine... one of the fastest machine on earth. No human have ever seen such big machine, and the best thing is that lots and lots of people can use it, all the same time. It does not produce CO2, doesn't waste water or paper. Its fairly silent and clean. Can never be touch, but anyone can reach...
Yes, I'm talking about the Internet!



Can't forget to mention my fellows on BitTorrent fight, other anonymous networks, free IRC and the copyleft, creative commons, etc.
If some people don't open their eyes to this, we might face a big mess on the internet.
