Corporate Lies: Radioshack

Corporate Lies
Radioshack's products are cheap crap. You would be lucky if they last at all. The saying you get what you pay for, this is usually true, but in the case of Radioshack it is not. The products are over priced, cheap components, and poorly made. Well, now there is an additional reason to hate them. They now lie to their customers, trying to push Cingular (crappy cell phone services), and I hate pushy salesman.

Side Note BTW: I've been a T Mobile user for about a year now. The service is good, never been cut off, etc... My dad who has Cingular, gets cut off almost all the time, and he pays alot for his service. I just pay the simple $10 a month.

Happy New Years and other stuff.

So today is the last day of 2005. I of course, get curious and look at my blog from 1 year ago on this date: http://williamandrus.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_williamandrus_archive.html. Not much exciting, just the normal stuff.

Ok here are some funny clips from Moronland.com:

Discrimination in U.S. State Constitutions against Atheists

Source: http://www.religioustolerance.org/texas.htm
I find this disgusting that, because I'm a atheist, I can't hold office in the following states:
MA, MD, NC, PA, SC and TN

In Maryland, I can't be a witness or juror.

In Massachusetts, everybody gets taxed to help out Protestant clergy.

"The good news:
These phrases are historical relics, left over from
earlier times. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution supersedes any
applicable statutory laws and sections of state constitutions. It thus nullifies
the effect of the above clauses."

Of course, with some thanks from the ACLU I bet. :)
But there are people out there who would love to have the 1st admendment taken away. Mostly the extreme conservative right, maybe?

You will need:
http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AutoGK.htm

"1) Put in a DVD and launch DVD Decrypter. Choose IFO (Information
File) mode
2) Now you need to find which program chain to rip (PGC). Pick the one
that’s the longest, or in the case of a TV dvd, the episode you want to rip,
after which you will have a set of files which look like
this:
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_PGC_07 - Stream Information.txt
VTS_01_PGC_07_1.VOB
3) Launch AutoGK and select the first .vob that you just ripped as an
input file, and set an output file name
4) Now you need to select audio (choose the first one) and subtitles,
if any.
5) If you’re ripping a TV, set the preferred size to 350MB, if you’re
ripping a movie, choose either 700MB or 1400MB, depending on your
preference.
6) Finally, click on advanced settings and choose MP3 VBR 128kbs. Then
click “add job” and “start.”

Video of President Bush Drunk at News Conference

Ok, this is fake, but funny how just slowing the feed down makes him so obviously a drunk. The weird words coming out of his mouth, of course are always his quirky ramblings.
