Well, the people from tm had came and fixed the lines and yeah, the line for the phone works fine, only one problem - the DSL LED on my modem isn't on, at all.

Kudos tmnut screamyx, you're a fuxing ridiculous ISP, I'd rather subscribe a line in Israel (which I'm guessing is WAY better than good ol' screamyx).

Hence, I shall be away from the inter-connectivity of the cyber realm for a longer and more indefinite period *fades off into the night*

Well, I am officially paralyzed and drained of all knowledge from not having any contact with the outside world for the passed 4 to 5 weeks due to the damn tm and tmnut for not fixing the cables in my new home.

With this, I'm left not able to do most of EVERYTHING; No online games, no chats, no resources for assignments, no NOTHING :(

Until I get back my line(which I will not be expecting anytime soon), I will be offline, later amigos!

Another rant about Vista's flaw. This may be one of the most annoying feature implemented that not only I myself experience its wrath, but also countless many others (let's look at a particular victim).

In the following links, the victim suffers the same problem as I have, and placed the very same query over multiple sites hoping for an answer, which only reaps no proper solution, as I have tried them all and none works.

See, it's so messed up that a person needs to post in various sources just to get a solution to the problem which does NOT YET have a definite fix to it.

Kudos Vista, you're such a retarded OS.

So, Filefront has earned themselves a nick for being one of the best file hosting sites ever, but now, it just got crapped up.

There I was trying to download some o2jam mp3s from Filefront to add to my music collection, and guess what happens? It kept showing me errors and won't allow me to download the file(s).

I, of course was using Firefox to access the site. So I guess I'll just try with IE, and it does work, but with minor complications such as pop-up blocking when the download is about to start, slow response time (Maybe this is IE, but meh).

Filefront is gonna be one of my least dependable sites to download for files now seeing it's no longer fully compatible with Firefox. Good riddance to bad trash.

Ever wonder why sometimes, when you look at how humans can become such vagrant beings? it all comes down to one thing - power.

Everyone will almost always have the crave for power, or even more of it.

Why power? A very simple explanation would be because of having the capability to place judgment or a sense of overwhelming control over someone or something else.

Whatever prejudice we humans might have on others may be due to discontent, or something foreboding that makes us want to defeat it. Without power, how else would you sought to do so? If you're going to say knowledge is a better alternative, I'm way ahead of you - knowledge IS power.

The reason we want more power is because we actually understand how having this power can influence us, and towards anyone else whom might or will be in contact with us. We feel strong when we have some sort of authority or strength, but does it really make us, stronger? Does it actually makes us better? Why yes, it does.

If you are willing to strip away all morale and focus on the true power of power itself, then you have to rid yourself of emotions. Power is neither good nor evil, it is just a neutral state of self acknowledgement.

No matter how we see it, having power is no longer in an infant stage of corruption, but it is a matter of how much corruption that will be taken account when the damage has been done.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely
