I think you might be right, but if Glenn Beck couldn't last on Fox, how could Alex Jones?

I'm glad they do that. I've been having issues with the live data, so if they archive it all as closed that's awesome.

What true Youtube Poop is complete without "UN Own was Her?"?

Although I will admit this one seemed to be trying to force their YTP to fit "the formula". Still a better YTP compared to others I seen and by that I mean in terms of quality not in how much it's a YTP.

I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed the rickroll.

First the Koren IP theft commerical with the Korenglish, then wrestling, then the TV series, and then the animated series?

What made you want to make these clips? Did you have a RoboCop marathon or something?

Ah, I see you posted the same copy-paste job as you did in a previous post. SPAM anyone?

NASA really is going after the more obviously insane ideas but doesn't show 2 important things:
1) The Mayan calendar does not recycle at 2012, it's on December 21, 2200. The original calculations were wrong.
2) There is an apparent (not real as there's no defining characteristic) Earth-Sun-Galactic-Equator alignment on December 21, 2012. But this happens every 25,000 years which certainly is within human existence. Therefore since life was not interrupted 25,000 years ago why should it be in 2012?

These are 2 key points which I've never seen used to debunk the conspiracy theories surrounding 2012. (Source info: http://science.slashdot.org...

Re: LUNCHTIME POLL: What’s Your Favorite Firefox Extension?

I have a lot of webcomics that I read that only updates on a schedule so Morning Coffee is an easy way to only open the ones that have (likely) updated. Greasemonkey allows me to take advantage of increased functionally of a website. Ad-Block Plus AND NoScript to protect myself from dangerous scripts such as malware-injecting advertisements. (I always turn off Ad-Block on websites I wish to support and that I feel relatively safe with the ads.)

My answer is simple: I slept through the whole thing. At least the heavily inaccessible part.

Re: Report: AT&T Blocking 4chan

lightningjim — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 23:06:12 -0000

Update: apparently it IS due to the DDoS of 4chan and the bandwidth issues it caused AT&T.

Re: Report: AT&T Blocking 4chan

This is not a hoax, I cannot access the server myself. I am an AT&T customer who cannot access img.4chan.org. Reports now seem to confirm that this is almost a complete blocking on AT&T nationwide. (I wouldn't have noticed if some friends of mine hadn't told me as I don't go to /b/ or /r9k/.) Unfortunately you've done the overgeneraliztion of saying "4Chan is notorious for Internet attacks" when it is more correctly "4chan's /b/".

Some seem to think that it may have to do with people posting child pornography on /b/ as this would be the most likely reason for the mass scale of the blocking. (CP is against 4chan's ToS and response from moderators are usually swift.) Others seem to think that maybe AT&T doesn't think that 4chan's response is good enough and yet others think that AT&T believes that /b/ is part of a "pedophile ring". Another more recent conclusion is that AT&T may have temporarily blocked access to the site to head off a Distributed Denial of Service of 4chan (which has been happening on and off the past month).

The response from 4chaners seems to be a push to unblock by legal means: http://www.encyclopediadram... (Link potentially NSFW as it is ED) Of course it's possible that few will do things via illegal means such as DDoS and black faxes.

In end though I hope the block gets lifted as it simply does not make sense for a permanent block.

I have 2. If you get followers not soon after you tweet something, example "social media", odds are they are autofollowing spambots.
