  • Why Does Music Distrubution Suck so Bad?

    RIAA .lol.

    One of my favorite groups of all time, the ROOTS, just came out with a new album, “Rising Down”
    music industry sucks (?uestion describes the picture: “This drawing is entitled NEGRO RULE. and it pretty much sums up the feeling of the Confederate Union towards the newly freed slaves and the idea that if given power they would reek havoc and chaos on the country.” hardy-har-har OBAMA j/k

    So, yeah. I want a digital selection of quality from ROOTS/Rising Down to check out. So I try to find it on their site.. which if freakin’ Myspace page :http://www.theroots.com. I really want to buy their album but their label (defjam) they don’t have anything for my MP3 Player.

    The record industry sucks. And they wonder why people steal the music. The record industry has become the firewall in front of the product. They remind me of the Agents in the Matrix:

    We have survived by hiding from them, by running from them. But they are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors, they are holding all the keys which means that sooner or later, someone is going to have to fight them. — Morpeus

    Artists need to get away from this old, corrupt bureaucracy like Nine Inch Nails has. NIN has full unimpeded connection with their fans. They sell directly to the customer with no middle man. All their fans can come to there site and talk directly to them, buy their products, talk with each other even re-mix their music.

    I wish all my favorite artists allow this kind of access to material.

  • Al Qaeda Sites getting Hacked

    This was an article that really cheered me up today. Al Qaeda websites are still getting hacked constantly. Sometimes it seems that the free world is WAY off on the “War on Terror”. With most resources going to Iraq, political rhetoric and pandering and the almost complete absence of anyone talking about capturing and/or killing Osama bin Laden, its easy to get discouraged. Its good to see that the cyberwar is still being waged on those who promote and or support terrorism.

    Octavia Nasr | BIO
    CNN senior editor for Arab affairs

    A hacking war is raging on Jihadi websites. Radical Islamist sites have been attacking and getting attacked for quite some time. The website hacking practice was common in 2001 and 2002… Following the 9/11 attacks when al Qaeda used only one website to communicate its messages to supporters and foes alike. That website was called alneda.com. It was getting constantly hacked… sometimes several hackings a day. After every hacking the site managed to resurface on the net until it disappeared from the scene in 2004 to be replaced by other websites — What started as one al Qaeda-linked site mushroomed into dozens which branched out into hundreds of supporting sites that serve as dissemination centers over the internet.

    Techdar talks about How to catch hackers on your wireless network and how to defend your Wi-Fi from future attacks

    There are lots of tools around to help people carry out ARP-related exploits and if a malicious, Wi-Fi enabled neighbour decided to find out more about your network, this could be an effective way to do it. The good news is that there are some defences out there. The bad? They can be costly and don’t always deliver the protection you might expect.

  • Worried about the collapse of the dollar? Me too.

    Lately I’ve been concerned about the potential collapse of the dollar. Although it is tempting to blame George W. Bush (or any other politician – Clinton if you’re Conservative) for the current financial difficulties, its really not any one person and/or administrations fault. Rather it is a generational habit of living in debt. We allowed this Republic to run record deficits, fight wars with borrowed money and we didn’t hold them accountable. What concerns me are the words of David M. Walker, Former Comptroller General:

    “declining moral values and political civility at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government”. He compares Americas self-destructive tendencies to those that

    Brought about the fall of the Roman Empire.”

    Listen to Peter Schiff accurately predict the subprime crisis and the bail out of 2008 two years before it happened.

    Man, I love this country. I still believe the dream and principles on which this country was founded are the best in the world. This is my home, my birth place and I have been so proud of our accomplishments, so it really pains me to see us on the brink of collapse. At the same time, I can’t help but think that it is the only thing that will save us from ourselves and reign in our feeling of invincibility, naive arrogance and complacent ignorance of the representatives that have turned their backs on this Constitutional Republic.

    As an American, Peter Schiff’s predictions are very difficult to accept. I want to believe that everything will magically get better. I want

    To believe that the best economic times are ahead of us, but then I hear this guy talk.

    As one Fox contributor said, “I don’t know whether to shoot him or shoot myself.”

    My hope and prayer is that Peter is just a very pessimistic guy who was extremely accurate by accident. Maybe his total negative

    view is bound to be right 50% of the time because that just how the chips fall 50% of the time. But my gut is telling me that he is

    right because he has a fundamental understanding of how economics work; much like Newtonian physics can accurately predict

    how fast an object will fall. He deals with science not speculation.

    You can’t watch these video from here, but you should send this link to your home account an watch them there.

    Peter Schiff is so right that its scary. If you actually watch the video, go a little further and check out some of his Fox news

    Appearances from 2006 to now. I watch them and it made me sick to my stomach because he paints a very ugly picture

    of what is ahead of the United States economy. At first, I found the more I watch, the more angry, depressed, frustrated

    I got. But now I’m just looking for solutions and ways to prepare myself and family. Even if he is wrong, it won’t hurt to

    Get prepared.

    David Walker on $56 deficit

    Peter Schiff predicted the collapse in 2006

    Imagine it. The U.S. Government defaults on all debt and files for bankruptcy. The dollar officially collapses. The world economies are in big trouble because they held so many dollars and they are now as worthless as the paper they are printed on. In about 8 months the rest of the world (Asia & Europe) start to show signs of recovery. The world starts to collectively unload the dollar and they come flooding back into America. With no surplus, no savings, a weakened export economy and ZERO financial credibility the U.S. starts to feel the pain. Business slows WAY down. Credit markets almost completely stopped, fearing the worst people begin withdrawing large sums of money from their bank accounts, turning dollars into other Euros and sending them abroad, causing a run on the banks. “The government then enacted a set of measures that effectively froze all bank accounts for twelve months, allowing for only minor sums of cash to be withdrawn.” (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_economic_crisis). The U.S. government enacts a new form of currency, the Amero. That is when the civil unrest really starts. There is about a year and a half where the crime and violence is so bad Martial law is necessary in some cities.

    The government starts aggressively pursuing financial, energy and commodity independence. The action slows some of the job loss but the dollar is still a corpse.

    http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/16/beck.crisis/index.html

    When it gets this bad, the greatest threat will be crime because people will be without homes, hungry, without jobs and without hope… which is ironic since the President won his election on “hope”.
