    I'm doing research for a speech I have to do for my speech class and I found this video of the virtual townhall meeting Obama had in which around 10 of the top 50 questions were related to marijuana law reform...

    When obama read the question about legalizing, regulating, and taxing marijuana, he read it as if it were a joke, and all the people who were in attendance where he was were laughing as well, as if it were a joke.

    I know the last thing Obama needs is people hating him for considering this option... But, it is a serious issue and as a country we, the united states need to move beyond moral laws and start paying more attention to scientific facts to drive our policies.

    Oh... and there was a related video on youtube of Rush Limbaugh talking about this that just reminded me of how much of a douche he is. Oxycontin, A-Ok, "Doobies" horrible

    I'm willing to bet if you slapped in a rider (because you know how they weren't going to sign any more bills with pork spending in them...yeah, about that) legalizing small quantities of cocaine for recreational use, it would be on the fast track to Obama's office.

    It started sleeting this time around and has continued over April. Now, I would be surprised if it started snowing in the Summer time, but that shouldn't happen... or would it?

    So, this african guy in my speech class got in front of the class to give his persuasive speech today. He opens his powerpoint and it takes some of us a few seconds to gather what we're seeing on this 8x8 projection screen...
    it's a penis... with some sort of disease going on w\ it. This slide was followed up by a few more w\ similar shock & awe images.

    My speech on legalizing marijuana went rather well though, a few people commented that it was the best one given

    .......

    Are you bitching because his powerpoint worked, because you saw a deformed penis, or simply a follow-up?

    Seems like your speech worked well enough without the powerpoint anyhow

    What was he trying to persuade that involves that kind of imagery?

    he was trying to stress the importance of safe sex... i was bitching because I didn't want to be looking at things like that, and didn't enjoy getting burnt up like that..

    I just thought though, that maybe it helped my speech... Can't do much worse... this guy just shows a room full of people pictures of <0<ks!

    I spent the day thinking I was locked out of my house, and walked to my brother's place in the rain, waiting for my roommate to come home since the only place I have her phone number is on my phone which was in my room. Hours later, I find out that the door wasn't locked, it was just jammed. I could have gotten in all along. Ugh. You wouldn't think that I have an engineering degree.

    If it was hours later, you could have used the time to bake something for your dear brother.

    I love my friends.

    So one of my friends suggested we get Left4Dead to play. My friends looked it up on Valve and found a four-pack. It was $150 for a 4-pack. Pretty good, we thought. That comes to about ~$37.50. However, the catch was that it was in USD. Since the value of the Canadian dollar astronomically fell from "par", this translates to about an extra ~$10 CAD more per person, making it about $47 CAD per person. Since my friend bought the 4-pack, it was expected that those who wanted to be in the pack had to pay up.

    I got the game today.

    It was amazing. Curiosity awakens me to compare the prices from the one we bought from Valve and my national electronics retail store (Best Buy's Canadian subsidary to you Americans), and it ended up being $30 CAN, which equates to approximately $25 USD. Using basic arithmetic, Valve is enjoying one of our $50 bills.

    Also, my friends teamkilled my other friend and I after we reached one of the spawning point AND RESCUED THEM.

    Go figure.

    Oh, and our national state media's streaming news website is not working at all at the moment.

    GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTT DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

    The day the internet died.... at my office

    what started as a simple project of blocking users from going to myspace, youtube, and a few other sites quickly got out of hand...

    I was going to block traffic on a per computer basis using a custom host file, and then have requests for those sites goto my iis server w\ a blank white page.

    I found opendns though, and it looked promising and my supervisor thought so too. So i set it to block adware and phishing sites, and then youtube, myspace and facebook.

    I get to work today though and my supervisor blocked almost every category of websites, this one included which gets blocked as P2P / File Sharing. My first trip to my now blocked ebay garnished a verbal WTF?!

    I feel like the office nazi now.

    Wow man, that sucks. Though I haven't experienced the feeling of being outbid like that, I can imagine it. Some things you just have to get .

    Well, I've been trying to change over to a new ISP for the last month or so. They don't use any mutual ADSL2 hardware save the physical copper line, so I had to do the following:

    `1) Check compatibility with new ISP (passed)
    2) Disconnect current service (Had to use up my remaining 20 days because they forward-bill me.
    3) Disconnect attempt #2 - told me they'll take 2-3 business days to physically disconnect it. Ended up taking like 9.


    Finally it's disconnected now. I'm using a rental 3G connection (2GB free quota) while the new ISP sets us up. It's supposed to be up to 10 business days, so I'm hoping the estimate is right. 2GB doesn't last that long.

    Meanwhile, I'm keeping up with anime using DDL sources on my uni connection with ~10GB which I bought for this situation. They blocked both P2P and irc traffic.

    Not really a bitch, but it's just a tad inconvenient. Guess I'll play some more Fate/Stay Night to pass time. Or get on with my assignment, but you know....

    I can certainly understand blocking p2p, it happens here as well with uni connections, but blocking irc? You have some pretty nazi data administration over there.
