Why, well because I need to format it for a PC so I can start using songbird to manage it. F*** Apple.

Rise against – Prayer for the refugee

Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.

Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Down!

We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.

But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you’ve known.

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

So open your eyes child,
Let’s be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.

Keep quiet no longer,
We’ll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we’ve lost,
And the lives we’ve reclaimed.

Go!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down!

So basically this song pretty much is my exact feeling to the people who blindly follow what the government says is “good” for us.

Grandma and Internet.

Mike M. — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 04:47:56 +0000

My father bought my Grandma a computer some years ago, at the time a phone jack for Internet was “standard” (yes we got the computer for that long ago). But recently she decided to get off NetZero and switch to DSL provided by AT&T. Because of this change she needs a network plug on the computer, I have a computer left over from something from long time ago. I think the church was throwing it away and Curtis gave it to me.

Now this is where I get to the guts of this post. We don’t have the money to spend on WinXP and my dad didnt want to me to download it from the intertubes. So what was our next option? My dad was thinking, maybe I should just fork out the money to buy XP. Then I got an idea, I run over to my desk, when I say run I actually mean stroll, and grab a blank CD and go to google. I search for ubuntu and the first link on there is the one I am looking for. I begin to download it from a mirror but it is only going about 120kb/s, yea that’s slower than gay. So I look around and find a bit torrent link, cancel the Firefox download open up uTorrent, import the torrent into the program and watch it max my connection. Download takes about 20min I get Alcohol up and running waiting for the iso to finish downloading. Burn a disk and then go install ubuntu on the old”new” computer. So basically my grandma is going to be using linux before I am. Haha. But we are going to tell her that its just a different version of windows so she doesn’t freak out.

I am scared for the future of this country. Round two.

MY FIRST DMCA!!

Mike M. — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 18:37:22 +0000

I am happy to inform everyone that I have received my first DMCA take down from youtube posted on a video that was uploaded well over 2 years ago, good going guys at Warner Bros. it only took you guys over 730 days!

I wanted to know how long the light from the sun traveled.

Mike M. — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 10:48:07 +0000

I came up with this…and yes I know I can just put in google, but that would be far too easy.

299,792,458 mps / 1600 = 117.10642890625 mps x 60 = 7026.385734375 mph

earth distance from sun: 94.5 million (max)/91 million (minium)/92.58 million (average)

Distance(mi) Speed(mph) time light travels from sun to surface of earth.
Maxium : 94,500,000 / 7026.385734375 = 7.4353288194444444444444444444444e-5 seconds
Minium : 91,000,000 / 7026.385734375 = 7.7213030048076923076923076923077e-5 seconds
Average: 92,580,000 / 7026.385734375 = 7.5895287690375891121192482177576e-5 seconds

What did I do wrong, it seems that the distance that is further should be the larger time, but its shorter than the other times.

Mr. Cooke, a bit of help please?

Combination Lock

Mike M. — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:31:58 +0000

I found one…I don’t know the password…

It is a 3 wheel 1 through 0 lock. I started at 000 and am trying every number. now statistically speaking I will find the number somewhere in the 750 range…but with my luck it will be 999

UPDATE:

I got the password, 645…a bit sooner than I thought it would be, and stastistically speaking, pretty darn close.

I am scared for the future of this country.
