Call of Duty: Black Ops update 1.10

Well I hated black ops from the start thinking it was too laggy, things that I did on my screen did not happen in play back modes so WTF. Sounds like they messed it all up with some anti-lag bullshit I heard about. But yet, since I got it, I played it; that is until now patch 1.10.

They took away my only game I loved to play.. Hardcore CTF, and don’t tell me they didn’t.. You try playing a game of CTF when its random and every dick swinger out there wants to play headquarters. I wished all games were Hardcore just like Core.. a Version for both but leave it to developers to fuck it all up and think “Hey they will love mosh pit” … umm NOOOOOOOO I dont. I want Hardcore CTF and ONLY that.. If i want to play something different, I change lobbies. Wow was that so hard?

So now that they have done that crap with the Call of Duty: Black Ops, I can finally put that game at rest and go back to playing Oblivion, and anxiously await Oblivion V in November, I will probably get the COD in November as well, but I am debating on changing to Battlefield. (which is supposed to blow COD away anyhow.) COD could have been better if they had servers instead of making individual people a server.. those who use lag switches and have crappy connections .. yes they are servers too. or they turn off their system during play .. leaving the game to exit back to lobby.

blah blah blah. Thank you Activision for messing this one up, I needed to quit playing anyway.

I Propose a New Internet Standard!

Spam, spam, more spam, ahh yes SPAM!!!
And no I am not the edible kind, I want to share my thoughts on the email kind. There seems to be so much into marketing about spam cleaners, filters, and any other product to help with that. Being in the industry I know and see where 97%+ of spam comes from, and no it is not generally not from actual mail servers. So where does most spam come from? Usually from the millions of people with infected computers that are controlled remotely by a hacker. That means poor old Grandma and Grandpa are probably contributing to the masses of spam emails.

New Standard Proposal:
Deny ALL email that does not come from an IP address with a reverse record that contains ^mail. or .mail. in the record.
Any email server that deals with email must have that in the reverse record.

Oh look this will block 97% of spam!!!!! and it stops the senders, it is NOT a filter. If you do not have a correct reverse PTR you are NOT sending mail.

Sure spammers will create “mail.” servers but that will be so much easier to block, especially when we don’t have to block the ma and pa’s of the world sending email from a dynamic IP address with no correct reverse PTR

Summary:
Why get more filters, when we can block from the source. Filters will be able to be more efficient, this will cause less server loads having to process 10,000 emails per hour instead of 100,000

Bux.to DOES NOT PAY!!!

I have decided that Bux.to is a scam, they do not pay, SORRY let me take that back.. they may pay your first payout like they did me for a whole $17 and some change.. but now that they owe me $2000 + I haven’t seen a cent. If they pay it is probably to an employee or someone they pay to post comments that they just got paid.. I have waited 3 years and never got a payment after spending $600, they say the same stupid response. I’m sorry you are having to wait so long but there is a queue.

I have lost as much in the stock market so I am not too worried, it was a gamble and a bad one. Please do NOT invest any money into Bux.to as they will NOT pay you in return.

Why would anyone want to use IE?

Over the years Internet Explorer (IE) held ground as the best because it did not really have any competition, now unfortunately the web has evolved and Internet Explorer is years behind the competition. They do not have great support of HTML5 nor CSS3. You can see the differences in rendering between 3 top internet browsers here.

You can see how the simple form does not render the same, nor does it have the CSS style the other 2 have (rounded corners).

What I really do not understand is that IE has been behind for 4-6 years or longer, yet they still have a handicapped product.

As for me I use Firefox and Google’s Chrome for development and browsing.

If you think you have a good browser, go to http://acid3.acidtests.org/

See what your score is.

IE8	12
Safari 4.05	100
Chrome 5.0.375.70	100
Firefox 3.6.6	94
