Everybody is watching pornography!

  There is a report written by John Thomas Didymus on Digital Journal “Pornography: ‘Everybody’ is watching it, statistics say.” 

“Nobody admits it, but statistics don't lie, and it says "everybody" is watching porn. Investigators say 30 percent of all web traffic is porn. The porn site, Xvideos, receives a staggering 4.4 billion page views and 350 million unique visitors per month.

So well established is the fact that porn sites attract the greatest volume of web traffic that ExtremeTech takes it for granted that any person "in possession of a fast Internet connection must be in want of some porn." ExtremeTech's investigation gives an insight into the staggering volume of traffic porn sites attract.

According to the investigation, the only sites that surpass the biggest porn site, Xvideos, in traffic are sites like Google and Facebook.

The traffic statistics for Xvideos was obtained from Google's DoubleClick Ad Planner which uses cookies to gather information about users. ExtremeTech reports porn sites dominate the top 500 websites and Xvideos receives 4.4 billion page views per month, three times page views of CNN or ESPN, and twice Reddit…”

“The investigation identified the three major porn sites, besides Xvideos, as PornHub, with monthly page views of 2.5 billion; YouPorn, 2.1 billion and Tube8, 970 million page views per month.”

  All of these people can not just be Democrats!  The Republicans and the born again right must be watching porn.

Green screen

  I am getting a 9 foot by 15 foot green screen today. 

“Chroma key compositing, or chroma keying, is a special effects / postproduction technique for compositing (layering) two images or video streams together, used heavily in many fields to remove a background from the subject of a photo or video - particularly the newscasting, motion picture and videogame industries. A color range in the top layer is made transparent, revealing another image behind. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video production and post-production. This technique is also referred to as color keying, color-separation overlay (CSO; primarily by the BBC^[2]), or by various terms for specific color-related variants such as green screen, and blue screen - chroma keying can be done with backgrounds of any color that are uniform and distinct, but green and blue backgrounds are more commonly used because they differ most distinctly in hue from most human skin colors and no part of the subject being filmed or photographed may duplicate a color used in the background.^[3] It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts, wherein the news presenter appears to be standing in front of a large map during live television newscasts, though in actuality it is a large blue or green background. When using a blue screen, different weather maps are added on the parts of the image where the color is blue. If the news presenter wears blue clothes, his clothes will also be replaced with the background video. A complementary system is used for green screens. Chroma keying is also used in the entertainment industry for special effects in movies and videogames. The advanced state of the technology and much commercially available computer software, such as Pinnacle Studio, Adobe Premiere, and dozens of other computer programs, makes it possible and relatively easy for the average home computer user to create videos using the "chromakey" function and easily affordable greenscreen or bluescreen kits…” 

 

 

 I am not sure that I have the lighting and software to make it work but I am going to give it a try.  So you can expect a YouTube video soon if it works.

There is joy in Mudville

  All across the United States there is joy in the red states.  The conservatives smell victory.  They think there is blood in the water. 
  The United States Supreme Court is having hearings on the health care reform law.
  The conservatives want the law dead.  They hate every letter and line and page of the health care law.  They hate it so much they call it Obamacare.  They want it dead.
  The part they hate the most is the “individual mandate.” 
  The evil empire (the Republican Party) could not beat the law in Congress.  They did everything they could to beat it.  They did not vote for it.  It was a law passed by the Democrats.  President Obama signed the law.

  Now with hearing before the SCOTUS they hope to kill the law in the court.  They hope that SCOTUS will rule that the individual mandate is unconstitutional.  
  The SCOTUS had two days of hearings.  Yesterday the right loved what they heard and they are jumping with joy today.  There will be a hearing today and then the Supreme Court will meet and discuss the law.
  Soon the right hopes they can rub the President’s face in the hated law. They want to bring down the President of the United States.   

  The libertarians, the tea party movement and the evil empire are so excited. They are hanging on every question asked by the Justices at the SCOTUS.  They like what they hear. 
  There right wing activist judges gave them a election one time and they hope they can depend on the right wing judicial activism this time to bring down the health care law and slap the President of the United States in his face. 

  They think their right wing judges can give them what they want.. They want defeat for President Obama.  They want no health care law.  They have hated Medicare and Social Security since day one and they sure as hell do not want health care for the American people.
  The evil empire is looking at the SCOTUS to make their day.

  The evil empire is worrying about the vote of Justice Kennedy.  The RedState right wing hate site says:

“All of this, however, overshadows a more important issue — how the hell did a constitutional, democratic republic come to depend on the whims of one man in a black robe who nobody ever elected to anything?”

A view of the Reason Rally

“Uploaded by stevelikes2curse on Mar 27, 2012

Just an assemblage of my relatively modest thoughts and experiences at the extraordinary Reason Rally in Washington, D.C., on March 24, 2012. No interviews with famous people, no arguments with protesters, just a few poorly photographed clips from a few speeches, and other good stuff I picked up as I wandered among the godless throng. Hope you like it.

Raging Robert Update : Update on the 700 pound man

My Daily View for 3/18/2012

  I removed a bunch of programs from the computer that I never used or were expired trial programs.  I also did some cleaning of the register.  Yes, of course, I messed up something.  Images are not showing in Chrome.  I think it has something to do with the HTML5 or whatever they call the new coding.  I can click load “basic HTML view” and I get the images.  I also set a restore point so I could go back to that time.  But I am just messing with Safari right now.  Checking it out.

  My YouTube video about “Comments on the Trayvon Martin Killing and the 911 Tapes” was upload yesterday and it has 392 views so far but it is not winning me any friends. 
  The video has 4 likes and 12 dislikes.  It is a 22 minute video and I think some people are bailing out early and checking the dislike.  
  One thing also… I think a lot of black people see me and think old fat white racist.  I think I am type cast.

  
  HGTV has a show I just love called “You Live in What?”   I would love to own and live in many of the places that they showed this week.

My Daily View for 3/16/2012

  Bin Laden’s final days he spent trying to mount assassination attempts against President Obama and Gen. David Petraeus.  (Funny the Republican’s say that President Obama is a member of al Qaeda!  Don’t they?) 
  The CNN news story says that bin Laden’s last days were filled with paranoia! 
  It is not paranoia when people are after you for real.  He was sane. 

 

“…Bin Laden noted snidely that killing Obama would pave the way for Vice President Joe Biden to assume the presidency. The al Qaeda leader said Biden was "totally unprepared" for the job…”

That is funny as hell.  I know everyone makes fun of our Vice Presidents.  I do not want Joe Biden as President but I think he was more prepared to be President than Obama was.  Looks like President Obama is smart and a fast learner but Joe Biden could step right in and be President of the United States.
  I know times were different but one of the very best Presidents we had was Harry Truman.  He never went to college and when FDR died HST had not been informed about anything.  Like I said Harry Truman was one of the best President we very had. 

  Hamid Karzai is trying to stay in power and he has to do and say things for the people there.  I understand that.  But we should be waiting and watching for him to say anything that will give us an out.  If he says we should leave.  We should say.. OK ….  The Afghan President wants us out.   
  We should be out of there in a flash.  Of course Hamid Karzai would be out of the world in a flash.  A bomb flash.  In fact if we pulled out fast he would want to go with us.

  I guess President Obama said the Republicans are members of the Flat Earth Society.  I think he is wrong.  I do not think the members of the Flat Earth Society think you can sail off the edge of the earth.  Republicans are so out of touch with the world that they think it is only 10,000 years old and they think that if you sail to far you will fall off the earth.  But fear not… You will fall into hell.

 

   Happy days are here again!    Remember Wisconsin?   Well the Republicans just lost control of the Wisconsin Senate! 

My Daily View for 3/15/2012

  Comedian Gallagher, the watermelon smasher,  has had a heart attack in Texas.  He is in a Dallas area hospital……….Karzai wants us to pull our troops back to our main bases.  I think we should just pull our troops back to our main bases in the United States………. 

 

Sex-deprived flies seek alcohol
“…Galit Shohat-Ophir, the team’s lead researcher, and her colleagues discovered that the more a male fruit fly’s sexual advances are rejected, the more likely the fly will turn to alcohol as a consolation…”   
  Some researchers just gave all the comedy writers a lot of stuff to work with.  I bet they are working on it for TV tonight.
  OH and when they talk about “fruit” flies they are NOT talking about gay flies. 
  You know for many years now I been thinking that I should take up drinking of alcohol. Now I know why.

  Fox News and the right are going after Bill Maher big time.  He is a big  target right now.  If people attack Rush then they have to have someone to target and it is Bill Maher.  I am not a fan of Maher.  But what Bill Maher does is not the same as what Rush does.
  I do not think that Bill Maher cares about the attacks.  His show is on HBO.  You have to pay your cable company to get the channel.  He has no advertisers.

  Here is one reason I am no longer a Catholic:   Catholic Bishops say birth control is “ubiquitous and inexpensive.” 
  Oh no it is not because of their position and their fault statements.  It is because they use words like “ubiquitous.”  The word means that it is everywhere at the same time.
  Yes I am sure it is easy to get if you pay for a doctor’s office visit and get the doctor to write a Rx for it.  Then, of course, you have to have the money to pay for it. 
  How much do birth control pills cost?  I looked up on the Internet and it says $15.00 to $50.00 a month.  If you are a single mother working at a fast food place that is a lot of money. 
  I do not need birth control pills but I could not afford $50.00 a month.  If I had to pay that I would have to give up eating for a week or two that month.  I would be fucked.
  Yes, I understand there are other types of birth control.  But that is above my pay grade or I never get my head into it.
  Oh I guess woman could get help from Planned Parenthood.  But the Republicans are trying to do away with Planned Parenthood.  Mitt Romney said he was going to “get rid” of Planned Parenthood.   

  That is it for today.  See you tomorrow.

Boost your odds of winning the lottery

 

  I do not know why the guys plan would work.  But he has won big a number of times.  I know I would like to win.  I do the “quick pick” thing that he talks about.  It might be better to buy the same ticket each time.  I don’t know … I think it is just a matter of luck.  Not sure you can do anything to increase your odds.

Anno 2070

  I am downloading right now Anno 2070.  I am at 20% download.  Download speed of 890.6 KB/s.
  So soon I will be playing Anno 2070.
  My grandson got it for me. 
  I  watched some YouTube videos that show the game.  It looks like fun but looks like a lot of work.  I will see what happens here soon.

  I do not play these sort of games online with other players.  I am to slow and to dumb to pay against others.
 

  It looks like the sort of game I may like.  I like city-building and am not into games where you are fighting others and attacking and getting attacked all the time.
  So I will let you know how I like the game.
