FHM Men’s Magazine – in Other Countries

December 4, 2011

To be honest, I’ve never bought this on the news stand.

I’ve stopped to take a quick gander…here or there.

There are online versions for many countries and they are slightly different.

Ahh, Someone Feeling My Pain… Eclipse, Java/XML and the bless-ed Emulator

August 2, 2011

This needs a repost…or 3
http://nfarina.com/post/8239634061/ios-to-android
Ahh someone feeling my pain….

“You’re going to just hate Eclipse. You’re going to hate it with the heat of a thousand suns.

It’s going to feel slow and bloated and it won’t taste like real food.

Eclipse is a world unto itself.”

Ahh, so this is just chronicling the pain of translating IOS to Java….using Eclipse, Java and the bless-ed emulator.

Denying Friend Requests in Facebook …FaceBaggery

July 17, 2011

I know this will change over time… But as of July 16, 2011, you click “Not Now” (which I don’t like at all)

This still allows that person to see some things on their feed about you….

Then you have to go to https://www.facebook.com/reqs.php

To see “hidden requests” where you just sent the “Not Now” one….

Then you answer “Do you know this person outside Facebook?”  (I don’t them at all Zuckerberg you idiot)

When you answer No…it says…

“Thanks. This person won’t be able to send you any more friend requests. Undo.”

Shame on you Ron Paul and Barney Frank – Federal Marijuana Law

June 23, 2011

Shame on you Ron Paul (TX) and Barney Frank (D-MA) for introducing a bill to weaken our Federal drug laws.

________________________________________________

Thanks for checking  out my posting.  Check  out the latest at https://mrobvious.wordpress.com No scraping please….. ________________________________________________

This is an outrage.  Ron and Barney, please get your sorry unAmerican ass on a plane for Amsterdam so you can live with a bunch of loser stoners in a place of low morals, low productivity and low prosperity.

Doesn’t this country have enough problems?  We need more stoner morons?  Really?  No, really?

When was the last time the Netherlands was number one in anything?   Exactly.

The remaining House boneheads that supported this are: Democrats  Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado, and Rep. Barbara Lee of California

Here’s the story via yahoo news.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110623/pl_yblog_theticket/house-bill-would-repeal-most-federal-marijuana-laws-leave-choice-to-states?bouchon=623,tx

Let’s be clear… loser idiots that really wanna do that stuff already do it…

The ultimate reason for the law is that there is leverage to use to jail these morons when they stop getting stoned in their mom’s basement and start trying to traffic it and use it close to schools and the civilized population that doesn’t want to be around stoner morons.

For every person that can occasionally use this stuff, there are MANY that are horribly enslaved to it and can’t walk away….(a month doesn’t count…it’s straight up addiction in MOST cases) .  I know of several cases where good people are trapped and throwing their lives away on this life crippling junk.  It’s truly sad.

I call for Ron Paul and Barney Frank to step down… MOST of  the American people like a sane and sober society thanks.
