Mac humour

October 11th, 2007 | Category: Amusements, Technology

South Park style. I laugh out the side of my face however as the studio where we recorded a bunch of tracks for our new EP just had a major PC meltdown (virus related) and that combined with the bloody UK postal strike means big delays in getting the full tracks for mixing.

Survival of the World?

October 11th, 2007 | Category: ROPMA, Religion, Terrorism

In an act of amazing hypocrisy Muslim leaders have implored Christians to gang up on Jews with them band together with them. Wait a second Muslims want Christians to band together with despite the fact that Christians are being slaughtered by Muslims worldwide? Do the Muslims leaders think all Christians are that stupid? Or do they really mean this “gesture” as a thinly disguised threat?

EU VAT collectors hit SL

October 11th, 2007 | Category: Technology

It seems the EU have forced Linden Labs to start charging VAT on transactions with Europeans. Linden stupidly opened an office in the UK and thus put themselves into this situation. However if the transactions are between avatars there is no such VAT charged. No one should be too shocked to see the EU muscling in or rather taxing Second Life. The theiving bastards are trying to get their bloody mitts on everything. If you are a Euro user of Second Life and want to find out how to minimise your VAT obligations in Second Life I recommend you get in touch with the good people at BNT in Second Life. They have EU based clients and no how to deal with things SL.

Ringtones…Motorola ones…

October 11th, 2007 | Category: Technology

We all have mobile phones these days of various kinds of varying quality. Most people who have phones, especially younger users, are always striving to make their phone theirs and extension of their personality. Instead of just being a piece of equipment its an extension of self with screensavers, covers and other fun stuff. A lot of people try to find an individual ring tone as well. Then again some people try to have the latest trendy one; as when Crazy Frog was all the rage.

Those with Motorola phones are keen to find Motorola Ringtones at the cheapest and best rate possible. There are lots of sources but everyone wants to find the best one. Its best to find a site with a large selection, like thousands so you can find one that best suits your needs.

You want to find a site that is straightforward, easy to use and more importantly wont rip you off. You want to know what you are getting from the minute you sign up with no hidden surprises when you get the bill. This is especially the case if you are a parent with a ring tone hungry offspring. Things have to upfront, clear and precise so you know what you are signing yourself or them up to in the long run.

Far left on local access

October 11th, 2007 | Category: Political Correctness, ROPMA, Television, Terrorism

I was distressed to see a bunch Israel-hating retards being broadcast at taxpayers expense here in coastal Maine. I was just in time to see Democracy Now’s latest bit of anti-Israeli ranting. What is most amusing is that in trying to be anti-corporate they have a host who has an eye twitch and mumbles. Then again with crap coming out of her gob she might as well look crap too. The site features such things as “Guerilla of the Week” and a story on wait for it “the power of the Israeli lobby.”

Like the American media isn’t skewed to the left enough?

Need a lawyer in LA?

October 11th, 2007 | Category: The Law

You are in LA and you get up to no good. I mean what is the point of going to LA for anything else really? Well you might be in need of Criminal Attorneys Los Angeles | California Criminal & DUI Defense Lawyers. You know the type of people that are well experience with local Police and courts. The type of firm that features ex-prosecutors and lawyers who really know their stuff? By good I mean top 5% in the US and there are a lot of lawyers here.
