So, I’ve been having this problem for quite sometime now.  And for the longest time I have ignored it.  Today though I just have had enough with saying firefuckit.

So what is this?  Why does it do that?  Well it seems that Mozilla Firefox happens to have a problem with one of the most popular font types in human history.  Helvetica.  See I don’t even have Helvetica installed, at least from what I can tell, anymore – so the problem should of been fixed.  However as you can see, it hasn’t.  WTF? Seriously, one of the most popular browsers in the World has issues with Helvetica! Lame!

Using Firebug I inspected the above element to find that the CSS defining the style was going about it like:

font: blah blah Helvetica, Arial;

All in one line, which shouldn’t be a problem at all.  If I removed the Helvetica from the line, the problem was gone, because well, if I didn’t have Arial installed I’d have issues doing almost anything.

How I solved this temporarily.

Install the plugin Stylish for Firefox. – Here(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108/)

Then install this userstyle (http://userstyles.org/styles/33939)

The userstyle maps Helvetica to use Arial instead.

For me I also had to add a line to that style (@font-face { font-family: ‘Helvetica’; src: local(‘Arial’); }) (capitalization….pft)

I Hope this helps anyone else having this issue – and I hope the people on the FF team at Mozilla decide to fix this problem…

So At&T is no longer It’s bullshit – complete bullshit in order to facilitate a way to charge the end-user in the long run.

Sure go ahead and get the ‘power-user’ plan, if you think it’s really going to allow you to be one.  What shit plan name – something to make you feel good about loosing a good thing.

“Ok so, they just want to cut out the people taking advantage of the unlimited plan by tethering their PC’s”

Get real people – if your going to use an excuse like that to justify the end of the ‘unlimited’ your insane.  What’s  so different compared to getting broadband Internet?  I currently pay more for my smart phone unlimited plan than I do for my broadband access.   How does that make sense?  Phone?  Shiiiit…I could add digital phone to my service and still probably pay less every month.

If my provider (*cough” Verizon Wireless “cough*) decides to implement something like AT&T does – I will drop VERIZONS service.

I encourage everyone else to do the same with their providers when these ‘new’ plans hit the waves – its bullshit.

It’s been a long time coming.  The Ohio Supreme Court ruled on June 3rd in a 5-1 vote that part of the Adam Walsh Act is unconstitutional.  The decision rules against 2 provisions in the Act that was passed in Ohio in 2007, which go against the ‘separation pf powers’ doctrine of the United States Constitution.  This is very important people, that despite our political climate in 2010, that there are still people in government who have some sense, and a head on their shoulders.

“Why is this a good thing?”, you ask, “sex offenders are horrible people and should be castrated physically and shunned from society!”

Let me direct your way of thinking here, do you realize that the way the law works today that anybody and everybody is one accusation away from being listed as a sex offender.  Before the Adam Walsh act was passed the offenders classification was left up to the overseeing judge of the criminal trial, allowing them to assess a persons risk.  A kid in high school who has sex consensually with another student should not be classified as a “Sexual Predator” for the remainder of their life.  The Adam Walsh act is wrong to retroactively apply new classifications and restrictions on people, a change in sentence is not remedial – EVER – it is punitive, how many times has a law been enacted which changed a persons sentence for the better?

It’s like – going to jail, getting out because its time to get out, and then the next day, someone picks you up to say ‘You have to go to jail because you committed this crime’, serving a sentence all over again.  Is that “Just”…hardly.

Sure there are people out there with a mental illness, people who really are sick, and the statistics for recidivism scientifically explains just that.  What those statistics also show, is that there are literally thousands of people nationwide that are being added to this list and classified beyond what they deserve.

This is not about having a bleeding heart for people suffering from injustices in the law.  It’s about the foundations of equality and justice this country was built on.   It’s about ensuring that people are judged and sentenced fairly, morally, and fitting to the crime.

Humanity is Lost.

There is no religious belief which can set us on the right path.

Neither Judaism, nor Islam have what it takes to bring humanity from the darkness.

Do you think we live in an enlightened world?

You would be wrong in that assumption.

Understand that I am like you.

My blood is red, just like yours.

I am a creature of the Earth, just like you.

Yet unlike those of you who put your faith in religion.

I mistakenly put my faith into mankind.

We have nobody but ourselves to fight with.

Which is the only legitimate answer to why we fight with each other in the first place.

Some people and business’ make so much money, that it makes no sense to have that much at all.

We strive to live in a world where the only currency is the one that benefits an individual only.

Whats wrong with a civilization which thrives off the progress and enrichment of humanity?

Right now, we could not represent ourselves as a worldwide race of sentient beings.

Because the majority of people are not capable of seeing past simple differences.

Religion, Racism, and Sexism shows just how weak the human species is.

We are fully capable of accomplishing great feats of unimaginable ingenuity

Yet religion, racism and sexism keep us in a state of separate primitive societies.

Always fighting with each other.

An estimated 7 billion people on Earth yet we still allow people to starve.

We still allow people to be uneducated.

We fight wars with each other, kill each other, over something we call god.

The majority of us lack any regard for the planet which bears us with life.

We are passionate, as humans, about a wide array of different things.

But when, as a whole, will we ever be passionate about humanity.

About progressing our species.

We always talk about providing better for our children and beyond.

Why is that only a dream?

As a child of people who wanted such things, I see nothing of the world being better, or safer.

I once learned a lesson from a life simulation of evolution.

It was easy to be a predator. It was easy to conquer.

There was always one constant – regardless of the path you chose.

It was either kill or be killed.

Human kind is beyond conquering planet Earth.

We only have ourselves to fight with.

And while we fight with ourselves, we will ultimately destroy ourselves in the process.

Though it may not all be a loss

For I am a human for humanity.

Following this article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_n_word_feud

So this is now an issue? Are you serious.  Can any African American go through life without hearing a racial slur?  Can any ‘White’ person go through life without hearing stereotypes or the same racial remarks at some point.

No.  Plain and simple.  When you let a racial remarks hurt you, you let the person saying it – win.  What is this they said we said oh my god lets make it an issue bullshit.  How can you expect that there are not any racist people in the world?  How can you expect to walk through a group of activists and not hear something you do not like? Or something you wouldn’t want to hear for that matter?

People are angry, and the people lined up at these tea parties are not angry because this person, or that person has a different skin color.  They are angry because they know something in our Government is wrong, and by any means necessary they will strike to invoke emotional outrage.

They are trying to tell you something which you are not paying attention to, therefore they will say something which strikes a cord of familiarity.  I don’t care if a person is black or white, I don’t care about what nigger or cracker means, if you ask me, those terms can be applied to anybody regardless of skin color.  What I care about is whether our Constitution’s integrity is being taken into consideration in our law making process.

Why are ‘Conservatives’ wanting proof?  Fuck off, Just because someone yelled something that hurt, for christ’s sake get over yourselves.  Those of you who are saying shit like ‘wheres the proof’ and blah blah blah, or ‘it didnt happen’ blah blah blah – please go sit down.  Because you know damn right it happened, it happened because there are people that are racists, the majority of us know it is wrong, that it isn’t right, it doesnt mean that 1 racist out of 100 people make the other 99 racist as well.

The media is throwing this up in the air like “OMG WTF THEY SAID THE “N” WORD, OMG TELL EVERYONE SOMEONE SAID THE “N” WORD – OMG THE “N” WORD!!!!”

This is nothing new.  The hurtful word nigger is not new – it is not new – why is something which is not new being so debated over and thrown up in the media  like it is new?

People this is a lame attempt to subvert the intentions of American people petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.  This is an attempt to make fellow Americans who are participating in the democracy our founders intended, to look bad in the press.  Seriously America – Wake up.  Consider why people are at these tea parties, what are they saying?  Why – all of a sudden this huge surge of people, who were not activists before – now protesting? Does this not make any sense – do you think that they are doing it as a family outing?  Or something to do rather than take their kids to the park?  If your against people at tea parties, then your not thinking about what our Constitution grants us, it grants us this right, this power, and the responsibility to keep our government in check.  Do you not understand how complex and robust our Government is, what numerous things go on we know nothing about?  How about the current state of checks and balances – the separation of powers?  If your an American – you should be thinking about these things – it is our responsibility to stay informed, to participate in our Republic – If we do not do this – then we WILL loose it – or worse…never allow our children to see it.

You read the title of this post correctly.  I can’t help to wonder how belief systems justify that despicable and immoral behavior justifies a person in the face of a higher power.  I completely understand that justification through moral aptitude can be rightly done, and any person who falls in this category, has certain boundaries, and would in many cases respect the boundaries in others.  From whatever source that humanity sprang from we have been given a power of choice.  But when a person says my choice is led by the doctrine of a belief system, I believe that it would go against any intentions a higher power would of had.

I mean seriously here, why would a god create a species of mammals with a high amount of intelligence to make decisions for themselves and then pass on a doctrine that they believe in him or go to a horrible place?  Why not simply let the world know of his existence daily through legible and understandable communication?  Why have a book and doctrine if God actually exists?  If God is the creator of all other animals on earth, then why do they not practice religion?  Surely a good lord would be pleased with all his or her creations and allow them to praise.

Anyways, let me get to the foundation of this post, let me get to reason why I have came back here and posted to my website in which I have closed up. What could possibly bring me from my studies and my work?

Fred Phelps, his wife, and the Westboro Baptist Church.

If you don’t know this group, run a quick search.  These people ruin what Christianity should be, and what it could be.  They protest evil USA and about homosexuality – at funerals, and not just any funeral, but the funerals of fallen service men and women who have died in the line of duty.

Now I guess they have been doing this for some time now, why I never heard of it before is beyond me.  I know people protest about the sorts of things they protest about ‘Bad USA” and “God Hates Fags” or whatever.  But I was unaware that they would stoop to such a low level as to say “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” at their funerals.  I’ve been to church, I have read the word of God.  This is not ordained behavior in the eyes of God.  This sort of behavior is not something in which Jesus Christ would do or even condone his name in use for.

It is that type of behavior which is evil and corrupt.  When their time comes, and they stand before their lord he will laugh at them and cast them away.  I get the protests, I get the message, but there is a time and place for such things and at the mourning and laying of the dead it is not.

Sick.

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div>

So I was just casually sitting here minding my own business this evening, working on a top secret project when all of a sudden my email alarm went crazy.  Yes I have an alarm.  A lot of the time I pass most of these bells and whistles off as spam, and close my e-mail client.  However this time I decided to actually check, and lo and behold, a message from Flyninja.net.

Now this was no ordinary e-mail, such as for a new comment, or a new post from one of our contributing authors.  No.  This was to notify me that my password had been forgotten by someone else, and had been reset.  That is an annoyance.  Oh but what to do? What to do?

I decided I would add a few lines of my own code to the login page.  This code checks for a specified IP address, and if it is not the defined IP, redirects the person somewhere else.  All in a couple lines of code.

Before I divulge this little trinket, letme just clarify that it’s very generic, and simple.  If you are the only person who posts to your blog, this is great.  If you have more than one author, then it will need a bit more added to it.  If you don’t have a static IP, then this probably is not a good idea for you.

Open up wp-login.php in your favorite editor and find the line:

add_action(‘login_head’, ‘noindex’);

This is found within the Function ‘login_header’ and may be about line 49

Beneath this line add this code:

$data = ‘you.ip.add.ress’;

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != $data) {

header(‘Location: http://www.somewebsite.com/’);

}

$data should equal your IP address, and after Location: you should add a website which you would like the stupid fucks who attempt to login to be redirected to.
