The Fight For Net Neutrality
The FCC has ruled in our favor, Title 2 is now a reality!
F.A.Q.
1. What is Net Neutrality?
A: "the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites." Essentially, all internet traffic should be treated equally no matter who's traffic it is, Netflix, Youtube, etc.
2. Why is Net Neutrality good for me and why should I support it?
A: Would you like to pay an extra fee to your ISP to access Steam? Yeah, I didn't think so. If all traffic is treated equally, it means ISPs cannot set up toll gates for competitor websites.. like Netflix. Especially when they already tried to do that.
3. Why are some people still against Net Neutrality?
A: The only people that would really be against it are the cable companies themselves. After all.. money.
4. What can I do to help?
A: As seen above, you can go here https://www.battleforthenet.com/ and see which senators and house members in your state are pro-cable or pro-net neutrality. If they're pro-cable, you can bug the stuff out of them via Facebook or Twitter or whatever.
5. State..? I don't live in the US! How will this affect me?
A: This still affects you. Think about how many sites are hosted in the US and how many people would have to pay or even how much your favorite website company would have to pay ISPs for access to a majority of their customers. It would ram them into the ground. Startup companies would have a nearly impossible time trying to gain any ground and would slowly lockout the entire market to only the big companies. Any anti-net neutrality stance is not good for the people using the Internet and especially not good for people with a brand new idea that Comcast or Verizon may not like.
plz dont rage at me i probably messed something up

Help / "Nvidia" problems; mouse movement in full screen among one thing.
« on: November 11, 2014, 03:05:20 PM »
Blockland is being weird again. First, in non-fullscreen mode, theres a limited amount of options up to like 1024x768. When I enable fullscreen to get the other resolutions, now the mouse will not move across the whole screen. Here's some screenshots.
I tried 1280x960 or something.
..I tried 1366x768.
..I tried 1920x1200, my monitor's native resolution.
And yes, I did update my video drivers. Can anybody help?

F.A.Q.
What is CISPA?
"The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA H.R. 3523 (112th Congress), H.R. 624 (113th Congress)) is a proposed law in the United States which would allow for the sharing of Internet traffic information between the U.S. government and technology and manufacturing companies." Wikipedia
How will CISPA affect me if passed?
Privacy and.. stuff. Its pretty obvious how it will affect you since it not only does not address protecting civil liberties but does not limit the sharing of such information nor does it say explicitly who the companies can share their data with. That's right: they can give any of your personal information to anyone under this revision of CISPA, according to the ACLU.
What can I do to stop CISPA?
http://www.cispaisback.org/ Visit this website for an easy way to stand up to this legally broken bill that will most certainly be abused. I'd advise you send this to your friends as well if they value their Internet liberties.
I live outside the US. What can I do?
If you live outside the US, well, I'm not sure what you can do. I'll update this part if I have the answer.

Off Topic / The Life and Times of JewWario
« on: February 02, 2014, 01:21:51 AM »
On Dec 28, 2006, an upstart Youtuber by the name of JewWario joined the internet community to start creating videos. Within a short amount of time, he would gather many followers and fans, soon becoming a member reviewer of the That Guy With The Glasses website cast. Although not as popular as others, say Nostalgia Chick, Linkara, and the Critic of course, JewWario still provided much laugher and joy to the TGWTG and his Youtube community. Those that knew him through the Internet or knew him personally knew him to be a positive and upbeat guy who always tried to cheer people up. He never showed any signs of the opposite.
On Jan 25th, 2014, his wife posted on Facebook that two days ago, Justin Carmical, aka JewWario, committed Self Delete in the bathroom. There is just no followup to something like this. Both his fans and the Internet were unprepared for such a tragedy, and now they weep. He will be deeply missed.

"ATLAS was developed for DARPA by Boston Dynamics. Software-focused teams from Tracks B and C of the DARPA Robotics Challenge will use the robot to compete in the first physical competition of the Challenge in December 2013 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway."
And no, before you start commenting about Skynet, this thing is entirely remotely operated.

Sonic Sez Friendship is Magic
This certainly came out of nowhere – a source has tipped us off that Dave Polsky, writer for such TV shows and movies like South Park, Frank TV, Scary Movie, and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, was dropping hints at the Ohio-based My-Little-Pony-themed convention Trotcon that he was currently writing episodes for a new Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon under the name of “Sonic Boom“. For what it’s worth, Sonic Boom is even listed in his Featured Guests profile on the Trotcon website:
Dave Polsky
His credits range from features (Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2) to animation (South Park, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Sonic Boom, Class of 3000) to sitcoms (Pair of Kings) to late night (The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show) to daytime (The Donny and Marie Show) to sketch comedy (Frank TV, Cedric the Entertainer Presents). Add that to the fact that he got his start in game shows (Singled Out) and you have a textbook case of a) versatility or b) terrible career management… take your pick. Dave created and executive produced Disney’s The Buzz on Maggie, in addition to writing other pilots for Disney Channel, FOX, CBS, Castle Rock Entertainment, and Nickelodeon.
Moments ago at his Trotcon Q&A Panel, Polsky revealed more information about “Sonic Boom” – we’re still waiting to see if our source can elaborate more, but early reports indicate that it is a “Pony-esque reboot of the cartoon series”. What, exactly, that means is currently a mystery – Sonic has had no shortage of cartoons over the years, and each one of them involves completely different settings and supporting characters. Any one of them could be rebooted, and it’s worth mentioning that one of Polsky’s contributions to MLP was, apparently, writing music for an episode, so not even Sonic Underground is out of the question at this time.
Right now, you know about as much as we do. We’ll have more on this as it develops.
UPDATE: Our source has offered more information now that the panel is over regarding “Sonic Boom”. All Polsky would say is that it involves Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy Rose, and would lean towards “comedic in style”, making it sound unconnected to any previous Sonic cartoon.
Stay tuned!

So far, he has:

3] Adjusted the water/lava level, flooding the city
4] Crashed the server
