Why does my DVD copy of the public domain Night of the Living Dead have copy protection on it?

One other thing

To all of you in California that appear to be pushing for a Yes on prop 8, way to drop the ball you spineless fucks.

Obama wins

I am very thankful that McCain did not win this election. I don't think the world, let alone the country, could take another four years of the path we've been heading down. I don't think the world could take someone so easily swayed to the path of mudslinging and fear tactics. That said, I do not let go of my fear for things because Obama won. I am still afraid for the people he will continue to war against. I am still sad for people who choose to love someone of the same sex, but are denied their right to marry. I am still angry that I'm forced to pay for the criminalization of drug users. We are still subject to the DMCA, the Patriot Act, and every other measure instituted to ensure the destruction of the Constitution.

I do not believe we will see change. I do not believe this is a time of hope. The only thing I believe is that the next four years will be better than the last eight.

Do not install boost to /usr on OSX

And the verdict is... gcc puts implicit extern "C" {} around headers included by C++ objects, from /usr/include to fix up misbehaving standard headers. So the proper place for boost headers is somewhere that is not /usr/include. Good to know.

Dear Joe Biden

While Sarah Palin talking to the camera makes me nervous, your bug ass alien eyes looking at me when you do it creeps my shit. Stop it. Thanks.

Dear Sarah Palin

The more you look at the camera and the less you breath between sentences, the more nervous it makes me. Calm down, look at the moderator, breathe, then talk. Thanks.

Thanks again South Park

The blood of innocents?

I know that if I had been killed in a terrorist attack, I would want the blood stained metal from the building I was in to be used in building a ship that would be used to bring death to impoverished nations around world.

In other news, the war is going fine and our economy is as strong as ever. Buy Nike and remember to pay your taxes.

Georgia

I can't tell who I'm supposed to hate here. I've read that the Ossetians want to break away from Georgia. I've read that the Georgians are trying to keep the Russians from taking their country through Ossetia. I've read that Ossetia is a part of Russia and that it's a part of Georgia. I've read that Russia is involving itself because they want to take back oil routes. I've read that the US is supporting Georgia and I've read that the US is doing nothing. I've read that Putin wants to reclaim the Soviet Union and I've read that the Russians were the first to offer a cease fire, which was ignored by the Georgians. I've read that the Georgians put down the first offer of a cease fire and didn't honor it. I've read that the US is using the event to distract from advances on attacking Iran.

I don't know who or what to believe anymore.
