Sorry about that

Sorry about the interuption before. My lovely grandparents found me at this terminal and they of course have a higher priority than you. You should read the original blog entry before this.

Now where was I... Oh year, altruisim is in fact a form of dominance. Yet I usually write about this in the context of politics. In the context of ordinary life this dominance and all its evil is prevalent.

I have meet in recent days people who cannot believe they can read, because they thought they might not be able to, and so someone kept doing it for them. People who believe they have no future, because someone else has planned it for them - and really they don't have their own future because the ladder of oppertunities bottom rung is stuck by some mindless brute saying "beware of the top of the ladder."

I am in the gimp house again

Well, it is that time of the year in which I am incarcerated for being insane. It is always a fair call calling me insane but the real question of my sanity shouldn't be one of my social skills nor my lack of desire for participation in society but my independence.

It bothers me quite tiringly that in these places they preach a broken version of self-esteem. They tell people to attain it by attending to others pain and ignoring their own. They set an impossible criteria for sanity and call people insane. I will not let this bother me too much...

Don't start a thread called Honesty

Well, I decided to stop by my favorite crib of freetards this morning. The forum I checked is specifically anti-Microsoft. A thread was created called Honesty. It had a poll and a simple question: "Do you honestly use Windows? Do you think it qualifies you to critisize it?" My answer follows:

I use Windows but honestly I don't think any of you are in the right space between the poles of stupid and arrogantly intelligent to judge any system. Worker201 is such a dumb fuck his parents were probably twins, he doens't even know how to use Linux or Windows - he just gets forum cunts to do it and they should strike and leave him to suffer or foot the bill. Calum is also pretty thick, but just not quite as thick as a man who lives in an Internet cargo cult of tech support like Worker201.

The most complex pf.conf ever.

Interesting things about this config.
* The two interfaces are on the same physical network. The Modem/Router is a gateway that the FreeBSD machine that runs this configuration accesses, doing NAT between the LAN and the Modem/Router.
* The FreeBSD system runs a transparent squid proxy. Anything addressed for the internet on port 80 is passed through it. SSL is not passed through it. The squid proxy forwards all Application/* mime type stuff to ClamAV. There is also an ad blocker and a very large cache.

Shitty Central Banking and the Alternative, Free Banking.

I do a lot of thinking these days on economic matters. A lot of people can see the obvious hyperinflation coming, with colossal debts, low interest rates, crazy countries like Australia with no formally regulated reserve ratios (yeah thats right slaves, I'm born free), and so on. For those who do not know, its pretty damn simple, I get a dole cheque and then my bank loans it out. Over here my bank could loan it out 500 to one if they wanted. Yet, my account balance still reports my ill gotten money, and then I buy myself smokes and food for two weeks, and maybe pay some bills.

Economic Ideal Graph

I thought I would show off something impressive about Vectorvest and my 'secondary' stock portfolio (its linked to under Where you can find me on the right). I made this graph on Vectorvest which is a typical performance graph. That is a graph that shows percent gain or loss since its start on the 5/2/2007 (when my portfolio didn't exist). It did exist early 2009 however neither use the current strategy, which is much better and has done well already.

It includes: The Dow, Gold, Portfolio A, Portfolio B, VV Composite, OIL.

Internet standards and elitism

As a Libertarian Conservative of sorts I can literally rant for years about all the elitist little bastards in Government. There are loads of elected progressives that consider themselves as the conduits of special wisdom. How about outside of political life however? There is a massive culture of 'Geek knows best' collectivism that is as irrational as the same behavior. The place I see it most is with web standards.

VMware Unity kicks ass

It brings the best software to Linux: proprietary Windows software.
