It is really, really. bad!

I don’t know what it means.
I wrote this in a daze.
It can mean nothing.
It can mean everything.
Interpret Please.

In this world\
we are outcasts \
beggars of modern \
singularity is disease \
crime is just \
law is faulty \
save, justice \
deserve not the world \
nonetheless, receive \
within offense \

contradiction of spirit \
unity, yet singularity \
esoteric in all \

In this world\

I just recently got an HP Mini Netbook for my birthday. It is a really solid machine, with an awesome keyboard and sleek design. Plus, the price is right at $350. One annoying thing about it is the fact that it comes with Windows XP Home Edition. This in and of itself wouldn’t have been bad. However, as with many (if not all) modern PC manufacturers, the HP Mini came with tons of Crapware. No I would not like a trial of Microsoft Office, no I would not like a trial of Norton Internet Security, thank you very much. All of this crap is (nearly) impossible to get off without reinstalling the operating system. So I hooked up an IDE CD drive to my conveniently placed IDE->USB hard drive enclosure. It didn’t fit perfectly, but it worked. with this I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro. I then install the First Ten Applications on every windows install I do. Here They Are:

1. UXTheme.dll Multi-Patcher
   Allows the installation of custom Visual Styles on windows XP
2. gVim for windows
   An Awesome Text Editor (disclaimer: Opinion)
3. VirtuaWin Virtual Desktop manager
   Allows up to nine virtual desktops, this computer dual-boots Ubuntu Netbook Remix
   I like to have the virtual-desktop experience to be consistent throughout windows too.
4. Microsoft Office 2007
   Yeah…I know, What about Openoffice ? Well I happen to have a copy of Microsoft Office 2007.
   In my opinion, it runs better on windows than Openoffice, plus, I already have it…so there.
5. iTunes
   I really don’t like it that much, but I have an awesome iPod Touch…so I have to use it.
6. VLC
   It plays Everything
7. Ext2FS Driver
   Since I dual-boot linux on this system, most of my files are in the linux partition,
   this driver lets windows access it
8. 7-zip
   Extracts any archive format, for free
9. Launchy
   Access all of your files, folders, and programs with an easy key press
10. Firefox
    I saved the best for last, the best browser ever, hands-down

And that’s 10!
if you’d like to add any to the list, just add a comment below

Yeah...

Yeah…I couldn’t believe it either…

“Due to newly acquired intelligence The City has been put under Level Three “Protection” [L3P].”
The announcement took the entirety of The City by surprise, as the COMs
– as everyone in The City called the network of communication devices laid
throughout the city hundreds of years before during The City’s inception – screeched into life.
Level Three “Protection” was something that was taught in textbooks, and everyone knew the IDEA of,
however nobody believed that it would actually be put into effect. The Government called it
“protection”, although Level Three Spying would be a more apt description.

The Three in Level Three “Protection” didn’t really describe the level of “protection”, the amount
of “protection” was the same no matter what level the system was on. The Level described the
physical area that would be “protected”. Level One “Protection” allowed The Government
to use covert surveillance anywhere on the streets, roads, sidewalks, public parks, official buildings
of The Government and just about anywhere outdoors. Level Two “Protection” allowed The Government to
use covert surveillance everywhere they could use Level One Surveillance with the addition of
of inside stores, restaurants , movie theaters, and anywhere that dealt services to the public.
Level Three “Protection”, however, to this day had only existed in theory. Level Three “Protection”
allowed the government to use covert surveillance anywhere they could use Levels One and Two with
the addition that terrified the inhabitants of The City.

Level Three “Protection” allowed the use
of covert surveillance in private homes. This was unheard of, with the advent of privacy laws
and lobbyists, this level of “protection” was never put into use. This allowed inhabitants of
The City to be watched 24×7. This was an attempt of some power-hungry higher-ups in The Government
to manipulate the lives of the citizens to a greater degree. They expected the inhabitants to take this
lying down, but what they didn’t know, is one man wouldn’t have it, and would rise up against them.
This is his story.
