Kim is quite obviously not wholly innocent … he is the eric cartman of the geek world, not wholly evil just sometimes dubious in behaviour and intensively seeking self reward right on the edge of law and morality. And he thought megauploads stance would be a matter for lawyers, of which he could afford, also in his public flamboyance his business partners seem to have gone unnoticed ? Link removal is not offering the same feature as file removal to copyright holders, hash checking files being uploaded so as to store a single version of a file whilst enabling multiple download links, tends to work quite nicely to save on storage for “large similar video or music files” rather than your average personal word document which is most likely bespoke, and rewarding uploaders with money for heavily downloaded files, encourages some dubious behaviour, though youtube has worked that same model by rewarding user content creation and distribution, Im sure kims personal music file access rivalled that of itunes match. Sadly google is probably the cop in this scenario as they can measure another sites impact on the web the best, in terms of search and advertising, did google ever write cheques to megaupload ? or was megauploads advertising bespoke ? 4% of internet traffic and google not getting an advertising cut ?
Its also true his arrest was over the top, but the media industry’s ambition is not to win against him but to slow throttle him with a 5 year court case, stop his business and leave him as a penniless example to others, that is a sufficient win for them they dont need more. And the fact the FBI appears to operate on behalf of the MCAA indicates a weird power hierarchy ? Also another reason why the media want to control the internet is not just the Piracy excuse, its because they are also threatened by user generated and non mainstream media content output for a viable share of the publics attention, you know this is true, when the yogscast blew past a billion views ? all of megauploads downloads didn’t equate to a billion downloads. But then again youtube=google can be considered corporo mainstream, after all any wealth seeker can buy shares in it whereas megaupload didn’t share what it was making with an international investor class. Note also he was based in a friendly territorys to the US that made his arrest and prosecution easy, whilst numerous other sites and servers that deliver piracy on a greater scale and more overtly go unchallenged, in piracy prevention it only makes sense to go so far, cost of policing etc unless you get your information for free ?
Kim is right in his video to highlight the real danger which is the media industry wants full control to shape the internet at their will into their paytill, this they should not be given as they have too much power as it is. And the truth is that films can be distributed very easily in digital terms and that lowers the media industrys distribution costs and these distribution costs will continue to decrease in the future, films should cost less in a digital viewing form, and theyre is no reason for them not to be released on the internet at the same time they are viewed in cinemas, the cinema is allot less important to people nowadays in terms of viewing experience with such big screens at home.
financial pariah list – dont know – befriend – entertain or foster these people in anyway, let them sit in their middle of their squalid money piles – friendless
international based corporate shareholder self love egotists who have little solidarity with any culture or people other than themselves, who historically decided to disenfranchise and profitably ill reward depositors with no interest on their positive accounts, so they could create profits to for themselves to create vastly leveraged speculative digital debt growth encouraging operations whose further profits were then used to set up huge corporate trading arms for the benefit of shareholders, that vastly outweighed the depositor operation, so as to create speculative market based gambling operations whose only function was to reward the shareholder class and shareholding employees, subverting the idea that a bank is supposed to benefit its depositors, who are the lynchpin by which they gamble.
1: Spend more than the relationship can afford monetarily jeopardising its overall security, and confuse monetary expenditure and material things as directly equatable tokens of love, chinese culture also for instance often acceptably perceives monetary expenditure as a sign of love.
2: tend to be very worried about how other people ecternal groups perceive the relationship/family, and are obsessed with keeping up appearances at the cost of the relationship very often.
3: tend to be jealous very easily
4: tend to use the love they do put in, as a tool of manipulation within the relationship to control ower in their favour
5: Tend to throw a wobbly any time the lovers attention diverts to anything other than them, ie if you spend to much or any time even with friends or family or even children, they start throwing a hissy fit.
6: tend to be incapable of seeing whats good about the relationship and being satisfied with it, and the small blessings blessings and qualities within it until the relationship is already irreparably broken
7 Tend to have very high expectations and very low tolerance of behavioural patterns different to their own narrow beliefs.
8: Tend to enduce unecessary amounts of stress into almost every situation, as though they thrive of the stuff ?
9: Tend to throw a hissy fit and prefer to live in denial when confronted with a truth they dont like.
That to me is your … full on … High Maintenance woman
What the hell ? how is this going to work, Henry Pryor is right, the “NewBuy” scheme is just the houseowning classes trying to propup their ill gotten inflated houseprice gains by offering more debt availability to avoid a correction in the inflated house prices, this will fuel more property speculation.
Oh and lets give those who already steal/leech on the benefits system the opportunity to buy their own homes at an actual discounted price, ahead of those not on the ladder in the private sector ? They will give benefits claiments an actual discount on market prices ? and allow them to erode the quantity of social housing available, when it was proven last time that allot of the people who took advantage of the right to buy scheme were speculators using the right to buy scheme to make money through selling propertys on .
And the private renter who cant get on the ladder pays taxes and doesn’t claim benefits, instead they can carry the debt can so that when the correction occurs theyre stumped with the negative equity ? Great Cameron the benefit classes and the wealthy have again worked out how to screw the non claiming, poor to middle class non house owning set !
Just repaired my iMac G5 with complete boot failure, it all came down to capacitors, there was an industry wide use of sub standard/sub spec capacitors at the time the imac G5 was manufactured, due to a manufacturer using a capacitor recipe missing one ingredient, This caused the imac G5’s to fail at a much faster rate than they should have done, I had to replace half the capacitors in the power supply and 5 of the higher rated capacitors nearest the power supplies internal vent onto the logic board once this repair was affected, my machine worked perfectly.
take the cover of the back of you imac G5 and see whether your imac version has some led diagnostic lights and check whether the power diagnostic led light lights up properly when started, there are tutorials for this on the web also a light there that indicates whether gpu is communicating with the display properly. all led internal green lights should light up, apart from the right hand one of the four.
with your dar screen sleep light on symptoms it seems quite likely a surface mount BGA graphics chip failure, but to be honest it could also be a capacitor related issue, if your not into stripping the machine down and soldering capacitors then the machine for you is probably a right off, just try a pram reset boot before giving up, I had similar sleep light no boot scenario on a macbook pro, and a stripdown got it booting again.
the power supply in the imac G5 gets very hot and has no fan of its own and is dependant on the one internal motherboard fan, there is also no temp sensor for the power supply to give you an indicator as to how hot its getting, I feel the the heat venting from the overheating power supply internally is what cooked the capacitors nearest it, this is a flaw in the design of this machine.
Britain effectively ceased to exist as a sovereign entity on the 10th Dec 1991, with the signing of the Maastricht treaty, do not delude yourself otherwise, no country which cannot control which persons can enter its borders has control of their own country or any real sense of self determination. Britain was only great when is was sure of its own identity, and was culturally unified in purpose. Our overpopulated isle and your future native progeny are now fully exposed to competition with 800 million people, whose cultures maybe more agressive selfish and less civilised than your own.
This is disregarding the impact of the era of global mass immigration external to the EU into the UK over the last 40 years we have been living under the kosh of, that has compounded the struggling native englishmans situation further.
individual corporate vested interest removing entire sites from the internet for individual comments or content placed by users on those websites will basically lead and equate to, total corporate censoring of the entire internet for their own interests.
OK I bothered to waste the time to create a BBC ID login, and add a comment to one of the “FEW” articles that are available to comment on the BBC corporation push based media website( ie its nominally interactive )
The article got up to 738 comments and they locked it from anymore comments.
The comment system on the BBC website is token and pointless and here are the reasons why :
1: every comment is censored by a paid human being for political correctness and language, (A total profligate waste of license money) since the comments after this process can never be said to represent free opinion, or allow for any negativity or criticism toward the beeb, it is automatically a pointless system !
In contrast to a ‘were all adults’ approach ie a completely free self moderated system.(all they need is a disclaimer of liability ?) after all if idiots want to chase theyre tail getting upset by comments on a website allow them to, but at least they’ll get a realistic view of the full spectra of opinion of the public ? whereas as the beebs approach has always been to sanitise public opinion to some absurd politically correct fascist liberal agenda > which is in no way democratic.
“Katia Zatuliveter, 26, had affairs with Mike Hancock, a member of the defence select committee, and with a Dutch diplomat, a German Nato official and a UN worker.”
hmm that’s one way to stay in the country sleep with a 65 year old politician . . . . and a whole collection of older powerful burocrats.
“Miss Zatuliveter, who is being represented by a media handler and is expected to sign an exclusive deal to sell her story, said: “I feel fine. I am very happy, incredible relief. My parents are ecstatic.”
yes im sure they are ecstatic about who theyre daughter has been sleeping with ? all quotes referenced from these two articles :
wow shes such a moral human being ? Katia It’s so grim having to climb that greasy corrupt morally bankrupt political pole, but I guess your prepared to.
she said of the older men >
“She also appreciated their “humour, sophistication and kindliness,†the panel said. A personal diary included “excruciating detail†about her attempts to ensnare men and revealed she was an “immature, calculating, emotional and self-centred young womanâ€.”
the truth will out …
Great another useless contribution to the people that we allow to stay resident in this overly liberal culture.
MP Hancock – you sir are a truly predictable 65 year old man > GROW UP > and stop having women 39 years your junior who work for you ? and concentrate on the job at hand that portsmouth needs you to get on with !
“They said Mike Hancock, the Lib Dem MP for Portsmouth South, who appeared to mix with glamorous Russian and Ukrainian women and was supportive of the Russian government “would have been of long-standing interest to one or more Russian intelligence agencies.â€
This liberal certainly does like immigration, especially when it get him access to young female russian ones to play around with, Mike . . . . christ you make politics look grimey. hopegully you can climb back into obscurity.
Christ and my day has been disturbed by the furtive goings on between a 65 year old liberal idiot and a needy for fathering insecure political sugardaddy pole climber, god why do I now feel the need to vomit and a general hatred for the continuingly corrupted behaviour of the 60’s generation ?
“Miss Zatuliveter said afterwards that she was “very happy†with the decision and her parents were “ecstatic.†Her tearful sister, Polina, who lives in Chorley, Lancashire, rushed from the court room to ring them when the judgment came through.”
and Polina her sister of course magically by chance just happens as well to be living in the good old UK, because the UK border is effectively non existent ! and half run by naturalised immigrants allot of the time ? bloody bullshit this country is degenerating into, and this story evidence of it.
self irony or not theres something I hate about the vindaloo song and video ? but remember dear keith, waving shit culture in the air and calling it shit, is also gaining it some strength ? so … is such a concept diminished by the creation of this video or empowered by it ? often not mentioning something at all, is the best way to do it down and make it disappear, add no mass to the concept either way. Which of course im failing at, by mentioning it here ? god I’m losing it, easy targets, fish in a barrel and all that jazz … talking of ‘fish in a barrel documentaries’ :
Those facist religious ‘the bible is the truth manual of the universe’ idiots, are pretty easy targets :)
Apparently vindaloo makes him a comic genius ? by support of this cultural trash, he’s a degrader of british culture > the vindaloo video is a hymn to ignorance and filth, which preyed on the mentality of the weak at it’s release, to deliver internationally the most crass presentation possible of british culture. You can’t make money of the back of taking the mickey out of chav and ignorance culture on the one hand (ie your chav king documentary) and then laud it up in a song for profit like “vindaloo” on the other ? well actually you can … it just involves a certain kind… of special blindness, hypocrisy has got some real travel in it, as you can sell both sides of the coin, after all in order to sell one side you have to research the other anyway, so you may as well sell both.
I know your saying… hey… chill guy… its only ‘froth’ ? but… it’s froth that lines the pockets of the obsequious, it’s the kind of filth, that winds me up immensely, and Mr Allen himself doesn’t resist getting wound up by things ;) so why… should I ? The Allen family tribe, hasn’t done itself any favours in my eyes with its activities generally, lily being a bad case in point, living her life in the media eye ? thankfully now she’s married and may have some kids, we will hear bloody less of her ? but I doubt it … knowing that lot. Because famous people in general don’t seem to realise how damaging it is to culture, to have the populace focussed on such crass pointless faces and the false worship of idols with their idiot viewpoint’s, supplied in over-zealous quantity by the media with it’s ‘z grade’ and up, plebrity focussed obsession, seems to reinforce a “news” market(read “NOT NEWS”), of such tripe obsessed… media consumers. As such the celebs keep thrusting themselves in our faces.
And this product was the creation of supposed figureheads in their fields, Damien Hurst ? matt Lucas ? David walliams ? really grubby rubbish in my opinion. how low will intellect sink. OK lets leave Vindaloo behind and remind ourselves of why the media and fame set are irritatingly smug prigs, in case you’d forgotten? who play the self irony card ? if only to further their perception, within the eyes of the audience ?
damn … I can’t actually hate him … fuck ((maybe the Diana documentary was marginally redeeming ? especially if he depleted al fayed of some money in the process ?) And no doubt there is and will remain some conspiracy over it, and no doubt Mossad might have been involved considering her next big proposed campaign was going to be “Israel – Palestine” which she might have had an impact on like landmines or something, but Mossad wouldn’t stand by if that were her cause, because they dont have any rules about what they will and wont do in defence of Israel ((Hence the nicked and abused passports in the Mossad Dubai assassination) did Mr Vague stand up for us as a nation over that ? it went pretty quiet pretty quickly ? and are all dual nationality Israeli / British citizens likewise able still to abuse or be abused in our name ? by ‘helping’ Mossad in this way ? and if so perhaps they should be stripped of dual citizenry ? make a bloody choice).
But to be honest it’s just as likely if not more so that fame and power convinces people they can ride in cars at 100kmh through a tunnel and not wear seatbelts ? and that the driver can drink a couple of ricards and still be fine travelling that fast in what is a confined tunnel whose set speed limit is 45kmh ? all things are plausible in this case. The only real weird stuff that remains surround the paparazzi guy who was found burnt to death in his car in a field and how his office was raided and two people shot after his death and computer equipment and files taken ? that’s remains weird, note though it might not have been related to Diana’s death but it is a bit weird ? Note that really famous people can’t have ordinary deaths ? they have to die in a conspiracy, whereas when we lowly scummers die its just chalked up to something like a heart attack, drink driving, lack of seatbelt wearing, drug abuse, suicide etc ‘we dont get to have a conspiracy theory about us, because ‘WERE JUST NOT DAMN IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO DESERVE ONE’ and because no one cares or gives a shit either way … lol :)
And to be honest though I didn’t fall for her doe eyed dewy eyed confessional interviews (Martin Bashir another man to be annoyed by ?) to the camera and her public draw, she was a woman not to be messed with, who had a weakness for celebrity friends and bedding sports stars and famous people, but she led the celebrity set and all those millions of propagandised people, who loved her, but didn’t really know her, Diana’s demographic of acolytes was a powerful group, and she could use that to change anything she showed an interest in. And to be honest land mine banning is a major achievement that can’t ‘wait for the pun’ be undermined ? apologys i know its bad one.
onward with MR allens works … OH shit his chav king documentary, makes me like him a little, because it’s the right side of a funny piss take, tongue in cheek etc :s bugger
perhaps hes attempting to make up for “Vindaloo” ? lets face it just his deliberate pronunciation of “Metro” … “Pole” hotel ? and the taste of ‘yellow’ did make me laugh ;), and the concierge? do people like that still exist ? who either grew special with age or was probably renowned for it, throughout his career, is the most remarkable character find from a humour perspective :) I almost spat my cup of tea over the keybaord, at that dialog.
Reminded me of an aging scruffy street lounger, I saw today who was of similar voice style to this concierge, sidling up to a pal of mine to blag a rolly, but was further enhanced by humorous uncontrolable interjecting of coughing, and pitch variation like he hadn’t used his voise for a year, that had to heard to be believed. I had to practically bury my face in my efete class large cup of latte and snorkel it into my system whilst grinning, just not to offend the poor guy, as normally i’m pretty sensitive when it comes to people who through perhaps no fault of their have issues. But sadly I found it difficult to control myself, which normally I can manage very well with, but the guys demeanour was so natural and unconsciously hysterically funny my natural smirk, grin and whole body was doubled over with a humour corpsing heaving response that could barely be contained.
god the Davina advert for neutrogena that plays before it is another reminder of how hideous celebs are from a personality perspective.
maybe im being mean ? but hell we have to be mean now again, otherwise no-one ever learns to moderate their behaviour and the unjustifiably forceful ego’s continue to grow.
oh strangely… vindaloo… crops up in the video below to > how weird ? life’s symbols repeating themselves, for some reasons… Keith’s … is a curry ? here he is using his emotional 80’s jobbing actor, class rant tirade routine to intimidate an admittedly weak array of pseudo intellectual table guests who probably threw around dull ideas, vocabulary and attitude he no doubt wasn’t keen on, at least here he is showing some character of some sort, the child that wants attention through tantrum perhaps ? but just like the chav king documentary, Keith as you clearly put it (No Doubt from personal experience) at the end, sometimes the stereotypes that are perceived about us or placed upon on us Keith, we somehow subconsciously like to offer back to a world, thats expects such behaviour and personality from us, and this is a sign of insecurity, because were attempting to subconsciously please the external group and its narrow projections of us.
then later below, he is thinking he’s doing some wonder act ? by offering his vote to an Afghan person or something, no doubt some media pleb celeb campaign that was promoted and he felt worth jumping on board with, but notice the effect of money, and the media life twisting the natural person he once was, into some kind of middle to upper class hypocrite, god what life does to us is nasty, and I guess being some horrendous forceful personality hes no doubt lived so much he’s changed too many ways to retain full integrity over the years ? the media can do that to you…
global village ? wt! fuck… that’s serious propaganda those media whores put out, your ancestors fought for you with their vote… Keith, not so you can give it away to some fucker in another country, regardless of how fucked up our democracy is ?
(I agree with you, that the pint of voting has become to little over the years… I personally like to think of UK democracy as : a popularity contest to vote in the new face of ‘fucking this country, in new and special ways once every four years’)
Anyway you should never have been convinced of this shite voting campaign, but I guess working in the media, your viewpoint and pc quotient, is set for you ? if you want to work with the pc liberal set (though I think you rebel against it a bit least did do), after all you probably have to sign up to some of the crap, or they think your not hip or something ? and you lose media favour and therefore work ? Keith come back to some sort of independent strength and thought and don’t be influenced by others in your media scene. Your rebelistic cantankerousness has a use, as long as it doesn’t dwell within the confines of ego and self, and works to a purpose.
Oh heres Keith acting too, though that whole robin hood revisited thing left me cold pretty much, I’m sure he probably shines compared to some of the cast ? I think i got to old to be interested in fictional stories anymore really, I think i’ve worn that fictional story gene out.
strangely every time I think of anyone in the Media : I imagine… there lips uttering the words “Ok Lovey” and kissing each other on the cheek everytime their within ten metres of each other by regulation, in some transgender internationally effected, effete we own a second home in France how about you ? kind of way ? And this is all it takes, to kill them off in my imagination, Second home abroad Keith ? probably not, but I know a lot of the media set, love a bit of it, it’s so dirregeur for the PC wealth liberal set to displace a native somewhere else, with their oversized ill earned wages, and their astronomical first home property values that have multiplied absurdly with little work on their part (thats what people pressure does for you), like some end game scenario, of shit monopoly on this tiny isle, enabling them to buy up foreign peoples local housing stock, in front of their poor young native children’s eyes. But I digress …
And worse the bastards have affected most of the british populace, to act the same way, As though the Imperial British Standard Handshake (IBSH as i like to abbreviate it) was not enough of a gesture of affection ? Perhaps additionally reserving a ‘my brother’ Hug in the social equipment bag, in case of dire social need, was not thought sufficient? Nowadays we all get thought of, as Howards Hughes freak obsessives, if we don’t comply with these new social greeting regulations, complied with by the public as if they’re were some new european directive, on double cheek kissing imported from the continent? so much so that I myself find myself falling in line with this enforced regime, otherwise I now look cold and old-fashioned ?
I’m mean if we could restrict it, to we all have to greet, ‘of age young attractive people of the opposite sex’ in this manner… then ok it’s not too intolerable. But really I’m happy not do it at all, if only to guarantee warding off, the panoply of fuckers that reach for it by default, as soon as they surface on the horizon of my personal space, like some leaping fawning harpy. Yet if you want a job in the media, it’s no doubt an unspoken hardcore requirement ? which if you fail to commit to your ostricised into last place, like an ‘a cup’ in a wet t-shirt competition. I blame sexually questionable people and actor’s from the 70’s for it, which are pretty much the same group? really they were an incestuous lot, who probably took it to the extreme of sleeping with each other, just to maintain functional work relationships ?
To be honest the more I view YouTube videos of him, I feel for him, like a tired donkey trying it’s best at the beach, to get through another day in the media fame life. when you’ve existed, the length of time he has in the media scene, your bound to have gone back, on and over yourself a few times during the years.
Change change blah blah and all that jazz … I peter out … but sometimes I wish celebs, would disappear from view a little faster than they do. and preferably not to be deified either due to sheer age ? As long as there not committing conspiracies against the masses, a quiet life for them is a fine thing as Mr Allen knows ?
I think my friend my summarised Keith Allen really by saying … and I quote :
“Like him ?”
“Well he’s just Keith Allen really isn’t he ?”
maybe im trying to binarise my likes and dislikes too much, leaving Keith in limbo is an ok decision in this situation ?
