This is great for people like me who sometimes need an image editor better than “Paint”, but would get into trouble if we installed something on our work computers…

It is similar to Photoshop, only all online!

If NObama agrees to this, he might gain a point of respect from me. He will still have a very long way to go before he will make me believe that he was the better choice…

Forgive Student Loans: Stimulate the Middle and Lower Middle Class

Forgive Student Loans!

The American middle and lower classes are crippled under the weight of educational debt; in these unusual times, as we bail out lenders and executives, we encourage the Obama administration to forgive student loans, providing a bail-out to the people and simultaneously increasing their spending power.

In 2009, we enter a new age, where anything is possible. As our industries falter, we have no choice but to reconsider how we do just about everything, from governing to banking to educating our people.”

Have you heard of the Large Hadron Collider? It is the giant ring under Switzerland that scientists will use to shoot atoms at each other to see what happens when they crash into each other. There was going to be one under Dallas, but it got canceled back in the early 90s.

Anyway, the fear is that by shooting a specific atom at another specific atom, we (as in humanity) could create a small black hole that would eat up the earth. Rainer Plaga, an astrophysicist working for the German Federal Office for Information Security, states that a micro black hole produced at the LHC could set off a chain reaction that “would appear like a major nuclear explosion in the immediate vicinity of the collider.”

While this is not really provable either way, without actually running the LHC tests, most of the scientific community believe that nothing dangerous will happen.

Check out this LHC video stream to see more.

I have been getting quite a lot of searches for the shadow companies listed (aprosupport.com, epoch.com, jetchrg.com, paycom, rknethelp, rknetmedia) in my fraud report, but for whatever reason the results are pointing to this page, rather than the actual post.

Here is the post for those of you whose results are not accurate.

Sorry. It’s a Google thing.

Comcast announced today that starting October 1, they are capping their “Unlimited” network bandwidth use to 250GB per month. In this day and age, this is ridiculous.

First of all, I am fixing everyone’s computers all the time which many times requires a fresh install of an OS, plus downloading patches. This can easily be more than 1GB per machine. This can be 5 to 10 in a busy month = 5 to 10 GB.

Secondly, I listen to a lot of Podcasts. I probably download 3 or 4 a day at between 100 to 250MB each. Probably 20GBs in a month.

I also watch a lot of Hulu.com, which each show is a minimum of 250MB. I have been watching the A-Team, Airwolf, etc. So there are a lot of shows to download. I can easily see me using 100GB a month just in that. I can watch them on my computer while working on another computer.

Just me in a busy month can be 150GB by myself. Now, take into account that I have 3 other people living in this house (My wife and two basement-mates), we can easily go over the stupid limit.

Wow. If there were any, I mean any, other way to get fast broadband at my house, other than Comcast, I would so jump ship.
