All is well in modern suburbia.

Does anyone else hate the middle class? I sure do, and for a matter of fact I hate the upper class to. Mainly, because they bitch about stupid shit. At least the lower class bitch about stuff that is a matter of life and death. Actually, I hate uneducated people that are overly vocal about it and/or do stupid stuff.

One example of this is driving with your parking lights on. Way to look like a tool. There is a reason that they are called parking lights, you turn them on when you are parking temporarily. Not when you are driving during the day (I’m pretty sure this is illegal in Maryland), not when you are driving in the rain (Illegal to do so), and not during the night (dumb as hell). Your vision isn’t improved with these lights, it just makes me want to sterilize everyone in your family.

I have a theory, the richer you are the more likely you are to wear crocs. If you don’t know what these are, crocs are molded plastic clogs that look ridiculous. They look like something a homeless man would find in the trash and he would leave them there. They aren’t stylish, and there is no way they feel good.

Have you guys seen the “A Douche Drives this Car” bumper sticker? They are all over the place. You may also know them as “ReImpeach Bush”, “1-29-08″ and the crossed out “W” sticker”. Last time i checked, Bush was never impeached. And talking about the anti “W” sticker, last week I saw one of those stickers, but it was put on upside down so it was a crossed out “M”. Way to go. If I remember correctly, which could be wrong since I was young, the conservatives didn’t bitch as much about Clinton. When a Socialist is elected to office in 08, I’m going to raise holy hell, just so they know what they were like for the past 8 years.

Today some lady came to me at work and told me that I shouldn’t be using paper towels because it is “destroying the rain forest”. I hate to break it to you, but the rain forest is being burnt down for farmland, not cut down to make paper towels. I’m so glad that she walked to the park totally naked and ate vegetables you grew in your compost garden at your house. What’s that you say? She drove here in a car that burns oil, which leads to Global Warming(tm), wears clothes that are made of cotton and industrially produced in china using child labor, ate a cheese burger, which was made by raping (milking) cows then slaughtering them inhumanly and drank Coca-Cola in a wax paper cup? Oh sorry I didn’t get the memo that all of this was ok as long as you save the rain forest. Just to clarify things, a lot of paper towels are made of post consumer content. Cotton is a crop, so if we didn’t harvest it, odds are it would die out. Same goes with cows.

On a side note, I’m to lazy to proof read this. Sorry but I’m drag ass tired

And this is why it’s not called “Brainbook”

So if you didn’t know already Penn State student football tickets are going for an insane amount. So on facebook, I made this market place post as a joke

Season tickets in the JR section. I don’t want money, I want your soul and a kidney.

Clearly, semi retarded people can tell this is a joke. Despite this I have gotten multiple replies. Going from the joking to the dead serious. The first one was from a friend saying that they would give their soul for the Notre Dame ticket jokingly, and I thought that would be the end of it. WRONG. A few minutes later I got a reply that it was a funny listing, but was I seriously selling them. A few more sarcastic replies came in, then this dumbass touched a keyboard

face value man let me know

Yes, Cody K, I’m going to sell you a set of tickets that are worth over 1,000 dollars for 190 dollars. Retard. But it doesn’t stop there, someone offered me $600. I thought I clearly stated that no monetary value would suffice. Then I got this

I want to buy your item on behalf of my client. I will pay you any amount you which to sell it as buy it now. My client will send you Money Order as a mode of payment. The item is going to my client manager in USA. The shipping will be made by my client once you received the M/O. If u agree to sell the item for me. Kindly send your address, phone#. Just email me with address and name asap today, so that the M/O can be send on tomorrow. Make sure you tell me the price you want to sell your item in your reply and email me with your address ASAP today. Hope to hear from you soon…mail me back to my email address (willitsw44@gmail.com)

ORLY? “John Jeff” of Albany, New York? You don’t even have a fucking picture. Then I got this, the best one due to it being serious

RYAN I WILL DO ANYTHING!! LITERALLY ANYTHING!! I cried for like 2 days straight when i saw that i was on at 9 am and didnt get ticketes i am going to be a junior and NEED tickets. I will pay you 300 at the most. I am a college student, i dont have much money i dont know how other people are paying 750 for them. PLEASE help me out!

Any thing? Would that include me fucking you, then fucking you again by not giving you tickets? Thats probably illegal tho. Taylor you are a baby for crying for 2 days, maybe a few hours but 2 days? Ok I lied, I would have cried for at least 2 days too. Tickets are “wants” not “needs”, you won’t die if you don’t have tickets. Also last time I checked EVERYONE with student tickets are STUDENTS.

Then someone told me “you can have mine.” I was pretty sure that she was being sarcastic but I replied to her saying that if she was serious that there are other people that “need” them more than I do. This one is the second best

I AM INTERESTED IN UR TIXETS. CN I SUBST2T SUM1 ELSES SOLE? I GOT XtRA KIDNEES. YEAH OK THX HAI/BAI.

I’m still getting offers and inquiries about me selling my tickets. It’s great to know that all these people made it into college.

What would happen if I had an advice column

There really doesn’t need to be a lot of explaining so lets just go and see what my “advice” column would look like:

Q: I recently found out I have herpes and didn’t tell my boyfriend. What should I do?

A: Clearly get a more classy STD like gonorrhea. Ask any 1920’s hooker. They all have it and they are CLASSY. Or you could wait until you are going to break up and then then he gets it tell everyone he was cheating.

Q: My father just died and I recently inherited a good sum (500K) of money. What should I invest in?

A: You have a few options, first of which is give it all to me and if I get rich I’ll return double. If not that sucks for you. Second option is to buy a shit load of potato chips. Just hang with me for a second please. You take all the big chips and eat them and throw away the little chips. Now you know what it feels like to be rich. The reason that don’t give them to poor people is a 2 parts. First of all then they think that they will get everything for free. The second part is that it could possible destabilize the potato chip market and no one wants that. Thirdly, buy a lotto ticket everyday, you are bound to win. Lastly, help some Nigerian trying to smuggle in money.

Q: We are concerned about out child’s weight (145 lb and age 10). We don’t know what to do. Can you help?

A: Sure I can. First off, it’s not his weight that’s the problem it’s your look on life. You need to tap the little tapped marked of American Sumo wrestlers. Just keep up what you are doing and maybe exacerbate it more. Instead of him playing halo make him play WoW for at least 8 hours a day. Also make sure he always get the largest size when you eat at fast food (which should be 5 times a day, 1 more time than normal). Also make sure that he doesn’t have to do anything physical in school. I mean they don’t make stupid people take hard classes do they? By the time hes 20 he should be at least 400lbs. Have a good day.

Q: Have you seen Sicko?

A: That’s not asking for advice but I’ll give you some anyway. Go to Canada and shoot yourself in the face. When your life is on the line money is an after thought.

Q: Who shuld i vote 4, Obama or HillDog? i mean they r both g00d LOLZ. Obama iz c00l guy of teh peeps and wants 2 help every1. pls he will b the 1 blk presedent. and hillary was bills wife so she must kno stuff and what not. aslo shes a woman.

A: Neither, but you can help me out. Shoot yourself too. We can compare who got better care and who lived. If you are dumb enough to blindly vote for those people and anyone else that is mainstream media hyped (Rudy, McCain, Edwards, etc) with out checking the facts and what they stand for you don’t deserve to vote. But if you do vote, write in Jay Bundy.

Ok, that was fun. If you have any read questions, just comment and I’ll make a post answering all of them in August or September.

Full Slackware 12.0 Review

So as you all should know by now, the king of Linuxes, Slackware, just released version 12.0. After over 14 years Slackware still holds true to its ideals of keeping it simple and straight forward.

The Linux Kernel: 10/10

Slackware 12.0 has kernel version 2.6.21.5, which is the most current version as of now. It also supports SMP.

Window managers and Desktop environments: 9/10

Let me start off by saying that I want to give a 10/10 on this one but I can’t for 2 reasons. First of all it is gnomeless (I don’t like gnome but I know others do). If you want gnome go here http://droplinegnome.org. My second reason is that it doesn’t come with beryl. Now I only docked 1/2 a point on this because it is not something Pat would include or that anyone would need, it just looks nice. Slackware 12 comes with everything from KDE 3.5.7 and Xfce 4.4.1 to twm. It also includes fluxbox, blackbox, windomaker and fvm2. This really shouldn’t go here but gtk+-2.10.13 is also included.

X.org: 10/10

Slackware has finally moved to modular X.org. In this release it comes with version 7.2 which is the current version to date.

Graphics Card support: 8/10

Slackware 12 doesn’t come with any closed source drives, but you you want to install them yourself you can. The Nvidia drives work fine for me, but the only problem is that it doesn’t come in a .tgz

Browsers and Email Clients: 10/10

Again Slackware 12 is up to date, coming with Firefox 2.0.0.4, Konqueror, Seamonkey 1.1.2, links and lynx. And for email clients it has Thunderbird 2.0.0.4, Kmail and mutt. There may be a few more but these are the main ones.

Chat Clients: 10/10

Despite the snafu with Pidgin, Slackware 12 includes Pidgin 2.0.2. It also include Kopete. For irc, there are more clients that you would ever need, some of which include xchat, irssi, bitchx, epic.

Music Players: 10/10

This version of Slackware has dropped XMMS (RIP) in favor of audacious. If you like a music player with a bigger footprint and do more than just plays music, there is the current version of Amarok. And for cli music players there is mgp123 in /extra.

Text Editors: 10/10

You may like Emacs, you may like vi, it really doesn’t matter because it has both and even more. It has my personal favorite Joe. It also includes nano, pico, jove, vim, and kate.

Movie Players: 9/10

Slackware 12 comes with GXine and Xine. If you want mplayer you can go here: http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slackware-11.0/multimedia/mplayer/1.0rc1try3/ Even tho it says it is for version 11, it should still work with 12. There should be a 12.0 version very soon too. Also you will need the codecs which can be found here: http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slackware-11.0/multimedia/all/20061022/

Office Suites: 8.5/10

Sorry Pat, but I’m going to have to give you an penalty on this one. Slackware 12 comes with KOffice. If you want OpenOffice, you will have to go to my favorite 3rd party Slackware site, slacky.eu again and download it from here: http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slackware-11.0/office/openoffice/2.2.1/en-us/ I use OpenOffice and it works fine, but I guess Pat doesn’t care for java.

Terminals and shells: 9.5/10

Slackware 12 comes with rxvt, xterm and Konsole. It lacks my personal favorite Aterm. You can head on over to slacky.eu, and go to utilities to find aterm, eterm, and mrxvt. For shells they have all that you can ask for. Some of them include bash, ksh, zsh, and csh.

Cd/Dvd Burning: 10/10

Again Slackware 12 has growisofs, k3b and more. This is enough to burn cd’s and dvd’s and copy them.

Compiling tools: 9.5/10

Even tho it doesn’t have the most recent version of GCC (4.2.0) it does include version 4.1.2. It also include autotools, cvs, ruby, svn and other tools that you may or may not ever use.

Server software: 10/10

This is where Slackware really shines. Slackware finally ditched apache 1.x in favor of the newer apache 2.2.4 Also Php was updated to version 5.2.3 Slackware 12 also comes with the most recent version of bind, cups, dhcp, mysql 5.0.37, procmail, proftpd, smbd, ssh, and vsftpd. I probably forgot some, but Slackware can be just about any server you want it to be.

System Internals: 9.5/10

Slackware 12 finally comes with both HAL and Dbus. It also comes with just about every library under the sun. The only dependency problem you might have is if it requires a something from gnome. The boot scripts are still bsdesk SysV. And this version of Slackware is as stable as ever. I will probably get flamed for this one, but Slackware 12 comes WITH a package manager called pkgtools. It doesn’t resolve dependencies or fetch packages remotely. These functions ARE NOT requirements for something to be a package manager. If you want dependency checking and repo fetching you can install slapt-get, but you can find it yourself because I don’t recommend it.

Install: N/A

I can not really give this a score because I didn’t install 12, I upgraded a previous install to Slackware 12. But it should have the same setup as it always had. This is a command line installer. It ISN’T hard. Don’t listen to what people say.
UPDATE: I run -current so all I did was rsync and upgradepkg –install-new a few packages and I was running 12. Also the installer isn’t GUI so I consider it CLI even tho IIRC it is ncurses.

Repositories and Communities: 9/10

Slackware’s community may not be as big as ubuntu’s, but they know what they are talking about. A good place to go for help is ##slackware on freenode. There are many knowledgeable people there, many are more knowledgeable then me. If you want a forum, LinuxQuestions is a great place despite a few fools. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/forumdisplay.php?forumid=14 If you want an online repo, use http://slacky.eu/ It isn’t in English (it’s Italian, so if you can read Italian you are even better off), but the box to the right type in what you want and and hit enter. 90% of the time you’ll find what you are looking for. Slacky.eu has both the .tgz package and a .slackbuild in case you want to compile it yourself. Also you can go to http://slackbuilds.org/ if you want to compile it yourself. Just do everyone a favor, and DO NOT USE linuxpackages.net I’m not even going to link to that site. They are horrible. They DO NOT compile in a clean environment, so you will get random dependencies. You also don’t know what is in there. For all you know they could be root kitted. Also, they are kind of shady. They have popups that get around firefox’s blocker and apparently have a package to stop people from “leeching” or reselling.

Overall score: 9.5/10

I HIGHLY recommend Slackware 12 to anyone that has an open mind and isn’t afraid to maybe get their hands a tad dirty. Slackware won’t baby you like ubuntu, but you will learn a lot more about Linux with Slackware. If anyone has anything to add or comment on please leave a comment and I will change it.

Update: This review has been dugg so if you would please digg it http://digg.com/linux_unix/Full_Slackware_12_0_Review

Slackware 12 is out

So I just dated Slackware-current. I looked at the changelog and Slackware 12 is out!. If you want to download the .iso’s heres is the link: http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-12.0-iso/ You don’t need 4-6 unless you want extras, pastures (outdated stuff), sources, and what not (you don’t need 3 if you don’t want KDE or tetex). So lets get on with features.

Since I just updated today I’ll do a full review in the near future. But here are the main selling points:

• Linux kernel 2.6.21.5 (also supports smp)
• KDE 3.5.7 and xfce 4.4.1
• X.org 7.2.0
• Comes with HAL (even tho I don’t care for it)
• GCC 4.1.2
• Firefox and Thunderbird 2.0.0.4
• Pidgin 2.0.2 (formally GAIM)

After over 14 years, Slackware is still rocking.

Look for a full review in the next few days

iCompensation

That is what the iPhone should be called. It’s the geeks version of a hummer. If you are a geek and have a small penis you have to get an iPhone to make up for it. I mean if you are going to buy a cell phone what do you need it do do well? MAKE CALLS. I mean if I wanted a shitty camera I would buy one for a lot cheaper. I’m just waiting for an iPants, iWatch or iSuck. That is all.

On a side note I really haven’t had anything to blog about so that’s why I haven’t.

LOL WUT?!

So I decided to check out my blogs stats and I would like to share the searches that lead to this page.

“infected penis” with 2 hits
“crazy girl fight” with 2 hits
“crazy college fucking” with 1 hit
“second antenna fonera” with 1 hit
“evolva slackware current” with 1 hit
“to me to you” with 1 hit
“fucktard” with 1 hit
“fucking yourself” with 1 hit
“fuck yourself” with 1 hit
“Sweet im for firefox” with 1 hit

Not only do these not make sense or have anything to do with this blog who searches for “infected penis” and why do these lead to my site?

I’ve Seen the Light!

So today I went to Home Depot. I got a chuck and a mandrel for my 300-series Dremel (you should also get a Dremel if you don’t have one, but you might want to consider the 400 series). Then while walking past the light bulbs, I convinced my mom to get Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs because she bitches at me when I leave a light on. Back at school I used them in my lamps because I had a giftcard to the bookstore, and they were on sale for something like 7$ for 2 of them. Needless to say there were good. So I’ve been using them for 2 years even tho they are kind of dim. So I see a 4 pack for like 10$. Fuck ya I’m getting them. The are n:vision day light 14W bulbs and boy do they kick ass. These 14W bulbs beat the shit out of the CFLs I got at Penn State. These fuckers are so bright I think that they are brighter than normal 100W bulbs. I put 2 in the kitchen light (along with 2 normal 100W bulbs) and the side with these seems brighter and whiter light. These 14W bulbs are suppose to be the same as 60W bulbs even tho I think they are brighter. It seems like the normal bulbs make an orange light compared to these. You may not like it but I LOVE IT. The only problem is that they aren’t dimable, but you will save 86% on the energy bill over 100W bulbs. I googled n:vision and I can’t find their website, but if you go into Home Depot and go to the lighting section you will see them. They come in 2 sizes big and small. The big ones are bigger than regular light bulbs and the smaller ones are are thinner but about the same length. They come in from what i was 40W equivalent to 150W equivalent, which by looking at the Wikipedia entry would be 5W to 30W respectively. They also come in 3 “colors”. The “color” that I got was day light, and I would assume that they are the brightest. Day light also have a very slight blue tint to them, kind of like a white led. These come in then blue packaging. Home Depot also has bright white “color” and they come in green packaging. The last type is soft white and it’s in red packaging. I don’t know the difference, but I assume that soft white is more orangey and that bright white is between that and day light.

To Catch a Dumbass

Not only did I catch this dumbass, the joke is on him. His Screenname is MkKool7. I would advise everyone to spread this. So lets start from the beginning. One day I come back and see this queued on my aim:

(04:01:43 PM) MkKool7: hi
(04:01:43 PM) ME <AUTO-REPLY>: i have tickets :)
(04:23:02 PM) MkKool7: hi

Ok I’m clearly not here and on top of that I’ve never heard this username before. So google and facebook turn nothing up. And 3 days later I get this:

(04:25:35 PM) MkKool7: hello
(04:25:35 PM) ME <AUTO-REPLY>: have you ever had a dream when you are wondering if you are dreaming or not?
(04:31:10 PM) MkKool7: hello
(04:31:15 PM) MkKool7: answer me
(04:31:16 PM) MkKool7: hell
(04:31:17 PM) MkKool7: 0
(04:31:17 PM) MkKool7: o
(04:31:18 PM) MkKool7: o
(04:31:18 PM) MkKool7: o
(04:41:17 PM) ME: yes?
(04:41:17 PM) Unable to send message: Not logged in

Ok who the fuck is this person and why do they want me? Do they not notice that I’m away? So I add them to my buddylist because I think it might be important. I see them come on about 1.5 hours later and this happens:

(06:07:36 PM) ME: im here
(06:07:38 PM) ME: what did you want>/
(06:09:14 PM) MkKool7: who is this

Ok you IM me firs, but don’t know who I am?! Way to go jackass. At this point I’m doing a play by play because it all goes by so fast. So it continues:

(06:09:18 PM) MkKool7: is this a girl

Wait one second. So you IM someone you don’t know then think that they are a chick?

(06:09:22 PM) ME: no
(06:09:32 PM) ME: who are you?
(06:09:44 PM) MkKool7: this is mike
(06:10:15 PM) ME: who the hell is mike? and why did you im me?
(06:10:21 PM) MkKool7: who i sthis

Who the fuck is Mike? I know 2 Mikes and I haven’t talked to either in a while.

(06:10:39 PM) ME: how about you tell me why you imed me and you dont know who i am?
(06:12:56 PM) ME: well i take it as you are ignoring me which i fine with me because i only know 1 mike and i havent talked to him since sophore year in highschool
(06:13:07 PM) ME: a word of advise dont im people you dont fucking know
(06:13:28 PM) MkKool7: ok are you a guy

Ok so he finally figures out I’m a guy, but never tells me where or how he got my name. Three days later I get this from him:

 (12:24:00 AM) MkKool7: hello
(12:24:00 AM) ME <AUTO-REPLY>: Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessle’s life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever had.
(12:24:00 AM) MkKool7: o

This time I’m around and I’m going to emotionally scar this guy or at least hope so. So the first thing that comes to my mind is crazy.gif. I think that this person is retarded because of what follows:

 (12:24:19 AM) ME yes?
(12:24:34 AM) MkKool7: are you a girl
(12:24:35 AM) ME: wait a sec you are that person that doesnt know who i am
(12:24:43 AM) ME: how did you get my name?
(12:24:47 AM) ME: and are you retarded?
(12:24:51 AM) ME: i said no the first time
(12:25:00 AM) ME: and will for every time here after

Wow he’s a fucking moron. I answered him the first time. But it gets better:

(12:25:12 AM) MkKool7: wona see a dick
(12:25:28 AM) MkKool7: do you
(12:25:35 AM) MkKool7: wona se my dick

So I think that this fucktard doesn’t think I’m a dude and I commence the primary ignition:

(12:25:45 AM) ME: wanna go fuck yourself?
(12:25:56 AM) MkKool7: no are you a girl
(12:26:31 AM) ME: ok you decide http://www.spacepotato.com/fishstrips/extras/crazy.gif

If you clicked that link before reading this I’m very sorry for you. That link is to a picture of an infected penis and is NOT WORK SAFE. So I thought I got him good but don’t know yet. So about a minute later this happens:

(12:27:07 AM) MkKool7: a man
(12:27:10 AM) MkKool7: are you gay
(12:27:21 AM) ME no but you just looked an an infected penis
(12:27:37 AM) MkKool7: are you a girl
(12:27:39 AM) ME: NO
(12:27:47 AM) ME: why do you think that i am
(12:28:01 AM) ME: who gave you this screen name

WTF? How fucking dense are you? I just showed you probably the grossest image on the internet and you still want to know if I’m a chick. And it turns for the worst:

(12:28:09 AM) MkKool7: can i see you nskrd
(12:28:11 AM) ME: or how did you get this
(12:28:26 AM) MkKool7: can i see you naked
(12:28:59 AM) MkKool7: can i see younsked

Is this guy retarded, drunk or on drugs? I don’t know, lets find out:

(12:29:40 AM) ME: so you are a fag?
(12:29:48 AM) MkKool7: ya

If you thought I was a chick why did you want to see me naked? Oh that’s right you were probably trolling after 16 year olds and found out I was a dude. Wait there’s more:

(12:29:54 AM) MkKool7: can i see you naked
(12:30:23 AM) MkKool7: can i
(12:30:28 AM) MkKool7: please
(12:30:33 AM) ME: so i guess crazy.gif didnt work
(12:30:55 AM) MkKool7: on yahoo

I guess seeing an infected penis doesn’t work on gay people. And WTF does “on yahoo” mean? So far nothing back from this guy. Next time it might be something better than a nasty picture. Might be a virus or rootkit. Might not. He sure has a pretty computer, It would be a shame that something would happen to it. And that’s the end of this for the time being.

Full Circle and Amazing Finds

So I’m ashamed to admit this but someone that I know from TheBroken (that’s the part that I’m ashamed of) got hacked. If you don’t know what TheBroken is, it’s a good thing, but if you don’t read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thebroken (I guess it was cool at the time) But there is this guy that will stay unnamed (but I’ll link to his shit because its funny) who is a self proclaimed hacker and security guy whose site just got hacked. But it gets better. He submitted his zine to milw0rm (thats a zero not the letter “oh”). Milw0rm is a site with exploits and papers and random other shit. He named his zine Exploit.This!, which I think the person was confused and thought he wanted him to exploit his site. It was published on the 10th and his site was exploited on the 12th. Pretty fast I must say. Apparently, he was RFIed (remote file inclusioned). Pretty much an RFI is when a hacker remotely loads a file onto your server such as a C99 php shell or anything for that matter. They exploited hello.php which does something (I forget what it does) and uploaded a php shell. Hell knows what they did to that afterward. But afterwards he does some cyber sleuthing and it’s kind of funny. Because it’s pretty basic and not really a big deal. It’s not like he had to read an erased drive or some shit. Ok enough with that.

So do you love finding stuff as much as I do? Like finding money in your pocket? I have something better than that, 3 N-Female bulkheads. What’s the big deal you say? They are fucking expensive. They are about 4$-6$ (I think I got them cheaper by buying them in bulk and used) .What do you use them for you say? Making wifi antennas. So I found about 12$-18$ worth of hardware and can make 3 more antennas.
