Bananas in the Falklands

Sir Michael Rake – a man you want be in a desert with you.

Sir Rake is the chairman of British India (british telecom)  who lives in a broadband desert country area in england between High Wycombe and Henley (where the regatta is held)

He is the only man with broadband in the area, to anybody else a connection would cost you £ 68000 pounds sterling.

Oddly the economics and civil service ethics clash – apparently nobody in Hambeldon wants broadband and thus nobody gets it, but if an employee like Sir Rake moves in it is ok, British Telecom (britsih india) also want a .50 pence tax (half of a pound sterling)  on all phones line to pay for Hambledon areas.

The moral of the tale – monopolies are bad and that  bt.plc is no  business (my blog). Thus if in a desert Michaels your man.

Support Perverts in Need or else.

Today in england is odd for the bbc do a charity event – saving kids or something.

Vanessa George, Plymouth a professional child rapist

Vanessa George,Plymouth professional child rapist campaigns like children in need support her activities.

So do go support perverts in need, irrational as it seems but don’t complain to me when it comes out that donations you gave provided some great sex for the child professionals, while parents of children (even female police officers) whom offer say babysitting and do not abuse children are not allowed to

I suppose a professional rape (eg that parents also pay for) is better than an amateur rape. After all Vanessa George of little teds was a professional and that makes my point.

processed food – why humans are doomed.

Filed under: Life in general, addiction, consumerism, dumb, health and fitness — bananasfk @ 00:05

google ‘fake cheese’ – if you did not then fake cheese is oil based (that’s fat).  Guess who uses fake cheese – frozen pizza’s – why ? well its cheaper than milk.

Here’s the thing.If humans consume processed food aka the ‘ready meal’ then it is not good for you.

This is darwinisn in action, while a few might be rich replacing milk based products with oil cheese it does nothing for the idiots who buy crap pizzas except speed up that medical condition.

Its scary that people buy this stuff after it will leave a bitter taste in the future.

Why is buying a netbook so hard ?

Filed under: Economics, Linux Distros, Microsoft, consumerism, fud — bananasfk @ 00:05

Bananas in the Falklands is in the market fora netbook computer running Linux, and no windows xp will NOT do.

Dell fail

Dell fail - no sale

If you see this and the image to your right (external link) then it appears the Dell seem to think Linux is a microsoft product.

This would make my life much easier since yes I can purchase a linux netbook without paying the evil ms tax but you cannot buy the newer models from the larger retailers either in a shop or online without buying the windows tax as well – odd that.

I hate Dell with a vengeance and the issue abouve put me off purchasing a mini netbook with a 10 inch screen [dells ctb bumps up the price greatly too]. Moreover try an purchase a Eee pc 1000 with just linux on it, no it mean a eec pc 1000ha or other model.  See where i am coming from ?

I will buy the computer without Microsoft and if that means not going to a big website/shop then that is there loss and not mine.

It is also interesting to note that the Novell/Microsoft ‘Suse linux’ distro is not offered either.  Proof positive that Microsoft wants Novell out of business.

cbs and the riaa trying to kill last.fm

Last.fm is web radio, who cbs an american corp bought.  What you may or may not know is that an application on windows tracks all your media (see a problem yet?) so this means lots of data which is uploaded to last.fm [privacy?]

Last.fm is a london,england based outfit and so should really be under the control the evil ifpi, not the american bit which is the riaa and famous for suing music fans with bad data.

The story is here, the moral is don’t run microsoft windows, or trust americans (even if you are an non american citizen) for your privacy.

So Cbs the American broadcaster wishes to destroy there investment in web radio in last.fm, thats ok with me, but the shareholders of cbs might be a bit angry since thats rather a waste of money.

kiss

tame and spying on you

It is interesting to note that popular music once a benchmark for american freedom means just the opposite of it today, that goodness those commies in Russia lost the cold war, but lets not mention china.

As to the privacy abuse make up your own mind.

Plenty of issues here i think for all.

Fairtrade is a minefield

great bananas, but the catholic preist raped my children

great bananas, but the catholic preist raped all my children

fairtrade means a ‘fair’ price to those who produced x rather than corporation y. It’s a brand name with a ’cause’.

All kinds of ‘ethical’ can now be bought, but what is galling is when the churches decide to get into this act

That strikes me as being evil, ‘ethical’ does not mean you have to a member of a certain church to start with and the churches are beginning to sully fair trade schemes for example traidcraftshop.co.uk, how does that differ from say the original fair trade providers and who keeps any of them honest.

Whatever your views on ‘fair trade’ goods tea/coffee/chickens means just that – i do not particularly want to eat a catholic chicken, because that might be as bad with catholic priests raping the new farmers children and since they are recruit to the faith is that fair?

Fair trade has the beginnings of an image problem, when the churches get involved.

One might argue that the church is now a corporate entity and thus as evil as say the Nestle corporation is to source producers.

amazon.com’s ‘easter hating gays’ moment a one off, or future feature?

Amazon.com is a big shop on the internet, which for whatever faults it now has pushed bookseller from a rather stuffy  / lazy profession hence the quote from them before amazon that

“PEOPLE DON’T READ BOOKS”

into a dynamic business worldwide where it appears people do.However with big comes responsibility, the word monopoly might come into a discussion, and the one click patent trolling that amazon still engage in to today mean this beast needs monitoring.

you cant buy jack at amazon easily.

you cant buy jack at amazon easily.

Cave dwellers will not know that amazon decided that any book with a hint of a gay theme – including Captain Jack from Torchwood (my blog) lost its rating on the the amazon .com site, however if your book was soemthing like how to train fighting dogs your safe.  So amazon went redneck for a bit.

so what’s the problem ? i hear some of you think.

Well – if you start delisting ‘alternative’ books how long before Harry Potter goes, or Stephanie Meyers book?s.  The world does not need extra censorship, in fact censorship is bad for amazon – for this book (my blog) i could not enrich the shareholders of amazon.com.

Granted that the books i read might not be best sellers, and im not likely to read the books that amazon it appears would prefer not to sell but if the only two books allowed to be printed where the bible and how to train fighting dogs then amazon.com would not have a business.

phew amazon think asterisk the gay gaul isnt gay.

phew amazon think asterisk the gay gaul isnt gay.

If you read the blame game now that this was a cock up by  one tolerant french amazon employee caused the issue that does not ring true to me, and why it that english titles like Jack Barrowmans book got censored rather than say asterisk  (seen right) then explain that one away.

In short it does not add up.  However if you read about the tale of the book amazon would not sell me then you will know that ‘no’ isnt the final word yet.

Exploring the world of bookselling outside of amazon means there are much nicer websites thena amazon,  be different explore.  Why you should explore is that say a book deals with vampires or witchcraft and some loon complains and amazon repeat this with vampires then both as a shareholder it will help you investing and as a consumer supply you with the things you might need.

If those examples are bad try this if ‘god fearing folk’ have issues with most things, women leaders, eating pigs, sex etc  then pick a book up suppose a charles dickens book has strong female character, or emily brontes books might cause womens liberation then the danger is that these retards can both damage a business and have the ability to censor everyone.

The e-book – there kindle is also a means of future censorship, suppose Jane Eyre is banned as a e-book on the kindle, then the drm does not allow any non amazom.com content loaded.  You have censorship.

I’m off to purchase a copy how best to train pit bull fighting dog after all im sure they can be trained to bite and kill religous people.
