Because the 1990s are now considered “retro”, and this article claims it “perfectly captures the 1990s” when it DOES NOT, not even by a long shot., it’s time you hipsters got an education from a man who lived through the 1990s and lived to tell about it. ME!
Tumblr being “that thing you heard about before everyone else heard about it”, needs people like...

SOPA tabled, but RIAA and MPAA members broke their...
It’s a rather amusing follow up to yesterday’s posts. Apparently, under the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008 (PRO-IP Act), the very proof that Sony, Universal, and Fox stole from each other, is a violation of the very laws they were in support of. Gosh, I hope they didn’t pass any other stupid laws that would make corporations be...

SOPA, PIPA, and NDAA: Why the status quo is scared...
2011 was a year of revolution. From the Arab Spring to the American Autumn.
It has exposed the abuse of power by law enforcement, ousted dictators, and called out the oligarcy that is establishing tyranny.
But the United States, the status quo government officials (mostly Republicans), and the people from Hollywood, the Entertainment, Music, and Advertising industries who have bought their own...

THE FOLLOWING POSTS CONTAINS LINKS TO A SITE THAT CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT IS CONSIDERED NOT SAFE FOR WORK (NSFW!) If you find any of the content that I am sharing with you in this post patently offensive, then do not click on those links. In fact, Google “Manga Plagiarism”.

Intel: Intentionally rendering good computers...
I recently figured out why whenever I start up Chromium (as I am using Ubuntu Linux as my Operating System), why Chromium always starts up without enabling the WebGL features. Sometimes I will look up the active processes for Chromium and see the following attributes have been tacked on. (Note: -F for ps generally has more columns shown, but for clarity, and for the fact that my attempts to...

list_where.sh
It’s been a while since I posted a shell script. Here’s one I think everyone will enjoy.
# File: list_where.sh
# Date: 19 Oct 2011
# Author: MrHacks (bushidohacksATgmailDOTcom)
# Info: When a whereis command is executed and returns a list of items,
# return it as a list rather than a long string of places.
function whereisit(){
local places=$(whereis $1)

Create a new user on MySQL: YOU!
I’m pretty sure that 99% of all attempts to run MySQL on your Linux/UNIX computer the first time would be solved if more books about MySQL pointed to this page.
Still, here’s my take on doing what needs to be done.
I’ll assume you have root access if not, find someone who does to set up your user account on the database. If you don’t have root access, your journey ends...

Must Have Old School Android Games
Tumblrers who have written about this subject in the past have often limited their idea “retro gaming” to mainstream games. (Yes, you’re guilty of this too, Tumbler Hipsters! Like we don’t know about Oregon Trail for the Apple II computers enough!)
Today, I’m taking about games that really have fallen off the grid that anyone who has used a computer between 1987 and...

Cleaning up Android's Contacts, but at what cost?
So, remember earlier this month when I listed a short list of android apps that still won’t store on the SD card, and how on the top of that list was Contact Storage? There is a solution for that but it comes at a price. The easy part is going to GMail or Yahoo! Mail and making sure your contacts are up to date followed by creating the .vcf file via the Import/Export feature (in this case...

A short list of Android apps that still won't...
The following Android applications are not being stored on the SD card like they should. Items listed are for the most part listed only by their application size being stored on the phone, except when noted.
Contacts Storage [17.88MB] (YMMV, but all of this is data. No App. Why is this not on SD? And pressing “Clear Data” would be a very, very, very bad idea that you may regret.)

How to prepare for Anonymous's Facebook Takedown
For the most part, I’ve been keeping my distance from whatever Anonymous does. While I doubt a whole lot of people reading this would think fondly of Anonymous, or support whatever they are doing, when Anonymous is committed to doing something they want to do, they will do it, even if it means some of their members get to take a ride in “the FBI partyvan”.
We’ve seen the...

“I felt like I had to do something.”

Three things the Democratic Party Can Do To Beat...
1. Stop Begging people for money. (Seriously!)
I’m starting to believe that the Democratic Party should start up its own televangelist TV network. If they need money so badly, they should consider doing what many of the Republican sponsors (especially televangelists like Billy Graham and Pat Robertson) and raise money much like the televangelist do. Constantly asking people for money,...

Why saving this Del Taco matters.
OK. Del Taco isn’t exactly good. But if you’re not a fan of Mexican food (and if you do, you are missing out on a lot of good food), they at least have alternatives like hamburgers.
If word was going around that the Del Taco in your neighborhood was being torn down, there might not be a whole lot of people who would say that it would be sorely missed…unless it looked like...

A 360-degree look at at the street across from St. John Regional Medical Center in Joplin. The hospital was hit by Sunday night’s tornado, and the area around it was destroyed.

I accidently a whole program
OK, so I did something REALLY stupid this week. I accidently deleted the newer version of a program I was working on. This included a two-dimmesional array hack, better loop syntax and better string searching. Fortunately, this program I was working on was a newer version of a program I created already.
So what can you do to prevent suck mistakes? Well, some would say “back up your...
