evil, thoughts
So, like stated in some famous and infamous sources, one could sell his soul to the devil to get all the earthly pleasures he wants and then spend the eternity under the agonizing tortures of hell.
And it makes you think it'd be a pretty sweet deal, of course, given that pretty much anyone's soul nowadays is condemned to the said tortures. Interesting. Then one would think - how do I strike that sweet deal? And the problem is that you can't. Because it would, obviously, be a very bad business model for the prince of lies - to go around buying his own property over and over. Of course - noone realizes their worthless souls won't gain them a thing in the lifetime. What you need to be looking for is salvation, repentence. Credit to your soul that would be traded for the desired effect. You've got to have that tempting, pure soul to offer - you've got to have a place to start.
So kids - you need to be good, even in order to condemn your souls to eternal punishment. Isn't that some food for thought
Be nice!

evil, annoyance, internet
Ok. It's seriously not funny anymore.
+1 posts suck. Great. So you just agreed with something stated above and you had absolutely nothing fucking useful to say about it? Wow! That makes a friggin' good point and makes me care about your "opinion". What are you - totally incapable of even stating why you agree? Lazy? Seriously - what the hell is it? Why the torrential downpour of stupidity? If you think you're being cool like that - I'll be kind enough to enlighten you - you're bloody damn annoying.
"First!!!", "Second!!11oneoneeleven" posts also suck. They're the avatar of suckyness. It's like wearing a T-shirt stating how much you and the rest of your corrupted seed suck. It's trolling on crack - you think you're oh-so-damn-awesome that you spend your life refreshing a stupid page online. Massively impressive - I'm sure mommy's gonna be proud of ya.
Fuck this - I will write a simple script that will follow pages and post "OMG<First!!oneoneforty-two" on every god-forsaken blog or forum you follow so you can see how it's like. I'll always win. Pure pwnage, with the awesome power of computers and Python. At least *I* will try to be smart about it.

evil, phone, Nokia, annoyance
...
"Nokia phones have crappy cameras". That's what a friend of mine told me. Well - I didn't care, I still don't really care about a camera on a phone. Best case scenario is that it'd be barely useful, but that's about it. Fine. If I need the pictures - I'll take them with somehting that has 8+ megapixels and some actual semi-decent lenses. And some focusing ability.
But I'm outraged by the actuall lack of quality of this thing. See - I happen to own a Nokia E51. It wasn't my choice - it was a gift. People should have asked, but anyway - I'm not complaining. It's a decent phone, has some neat features, has WiFi, that I literally abuse. I love it - in Oslo there's so far not a single spot that is not covered by at least 1 open wireless network. I've checked. WiFi rules - period.
But I tried taking a few photos with that thing. I needed a quick reference - something to show fast to people. Sweet zombie Jesus, I did not expect these despicable results. If you can detect any shape at all on that photo, consider yourself lucky. Everything mostly looks like puke. And seriously - I've seen other phones, with much older cams that do a lot better job than that. Hell - compared to that crap, they're amazing.
Now .. explain it to me. Considering the camera is literally and unquestionably worthless - what in the name of all that makes sense is that thing doing on my phone? Taking space and artificially raising the market price of the device. Artificially, because it's clear that the damn thing is worth fuck-all, given the results it produces. I've a no-name, antient, completely fucked webcam at home that gives a lot better output. And the mobile one says 2.0 megapixels. Sooo - crap in higher resolution. Oh man, so much joy!
So what are you trying to tell your customers here? That you don't give a flying fuck about them, given the lack of quality of the product you're trying to push them? You've literally offended me with this. It's rather cocky to make a pretty damn decent phone and then poop on the back of it, before packaging. You'd have done a lot better with not even including a cam on that. Maybe then someday I'd have bought a Nokia phone myself. Sucks to be you.

evil, digital, open standard, annoyance
...
Although I've stated in an explicitly clear manner - my blog is my own and has nothing to do with what I do, who I work for, or who I go to bed at night with - I'll say it once again. There. I said it already. If you didn't get it - leave the page, I've no use for your kind here anyway.
This article hasn't been meant to promote. You can all judge the value of the things I happen to like for yourselves. However it has been meant to be specifically targeted against a large crowd of people that happen to have their heads stuck up each other's behinds in a most gruesome, humiliating and disgusting fashion, that cannot encode a video signal with a gun pointed to their heads, apparently.
I urge you to abandon.
Abandon your digital shackles of oppression. Abandon the monsters that seek your wallet at night, masquerading as victims and as advocates of the poor and mistreated. Abandon the crowd, leave the masses, get a mind of your own, before it's too late for all of us.
We are all trapped as the result of an evil genius machine's action. We are all trapped in our modernistic, brainwashed ideas of freedom. We are allowed to do whatever we want, become whatever we want, no limits, no heritage needed, no immoral deeds required, and etcetera with the bullshit. Sure, fine, 10% of us have admirable morals - good for them. The majority of the rest 90 follow the leader like there's no tomorrow, because they're not pushing a change, they just blend in with the crowd.
The crowd says - we live in a land of freedom and a world of democracy. Oh please, enough with the bullshit. Especially you, you poor, poor, mistreated bastards, living in the glorious, democratic, degrading, declining, loosing-their-all-heritage-and-values-countries you. The war machine keeps turning, it's just a little modernized in the software world nowadays. And when people are afraid, they retaliate.
When big companies are afraid they retaliate big. Big companies don't retaliate for small things. They just make better things and swipe away the opposition. It is, apparently, unbelievably easy to do so. And we love them for it, right, they made something cool - sure, we like it, w00t, hurray for you and three cheers for giving it to us. Sure, fine - that's without argument a nice thing to happen. But - when big companies are afraid, they retaliate big. RIIA and MPAA sue the schoolteacher mother of two underage kids, after failing to sue the kids for getting a minor amount of copyrighted material online. Oh sure - please, sue the kids, while the core of the distribution is employed by you guys, that's a good one. Fuck, if I was stealing content from you, distributing it worldwide, before you've even realesed it and then you file a court suit against a random 14-year-old that downloaded it, I'd be laughing my ass down to hell with the greatest pleasure.
In the same display of stunning genius, a flash in the future, a divine intervention, we might say - Microsoft, Apple and Nokia have made a tremendously good job of pressing down the standards of Xiph.org. Continuously and systematically, ever since the Vorbis sound codec made debut, along with the Ogg container format. And especially recently when the Theora open video codec is about to gain in speed, threatening new codecs, supported by the guys who brought you "wmv" and "wma". Oh lord, please, please strike me now, before I have to see another 10 minute video that takes 400MB of disk space and looks like I encoded it on my 386, while recording the sound with a mic stuck up my arse.
So I call you all now - all of you who will never see that article or never think enough of it to care, all of you that happened to read it and get what I mean - abandon.
Abandon. Just don't do it. Don't pay for content delivered to you from the modern wannabe dictators. "You can do anything you want, as long as you pay to us" - yes, the true sound of modern freedom. Abandon those things. When you make your next amateur porn site, please - do both of us the favor and don't encode your movies in .wmv format. Don't rip the scenes from your wedding in that shit. Abandon proprietary, abandon patents, abandon complication. The guys supporting patented software technology can't get their own shit straight for years now. And yet we get superior quality engineering from Xiph and their completely open, patent free technology that has been proving itself for years now. Vorbis was superior codec to MP3 and AAC when I was still in high-school. If you need anything more than Vorbis, you're welcome - just go ahead and use FLAC.
