D. L. Hughley should have new material, "...at least."

D. L. Hughley hoisted up the new 2008 series of Russell Simons' Def Comedy Jam with OOOOOOOOOOOld D. L. jokes, his old act. My God, man, HOW DARE YOU!

The NEW stuff is supposed to go in the middle, not the OLD shit.

Now just stop raping our time with that old shit, and gimme some new jokes, at least. I wish you would! We all...wish you would. At least.


Now, I got my own wood to take out, C-ya!

iPhone Unlocked + Apple's iPhone update 1.1.1 = APPLE is a MORON

iPhone Unlocked + Apple's iPhone update 1.1.1 = iDoorstop or the iBrick (there has to be more) and a damned illegal thing for Apple to have done to its iPhone users! Yes, it is actually illegal (it's punitive).

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR iPHONE with 1.1.1 if you have "unlocked" your iPhone* and installed any 3rd party apps on it, which is, by the way, legal for OWNERS of iPhones to do - the Supreme Court said 3rd party apps installed on devices is exempt.

UN-INSTALL all 3rd party apps

RE-LOCK your iPhone to "day one" status (if you unlocked it properly, you WILL be able to do this!)

THEN update with iPhone update v1.1.1

THEN RE-UN-LOCK your iPhone.

THEN Re-Install your favorite 3rd party apps.

WARNING = this is LIKELY to work and still leave your iPhone usable and with your added 3rd party apps re-installable.

The method above will HAVE to be re-done for EVERY future iPhone update.
------------------------------------

You WILL have to update it anyway, just do it right. If you do it wrong, or if you do not update, then parts of your iPhone will stop working before your very eyes.

Ah, and Speaking of French Apple Pie Waste:
(were we?)

It seems the French company Vivendi is complaining of Apple's iStore charging too much for songs.....give it up, Frenchie, you know you can - you are experts in surrendering. So, surrender to your Bitch-master, Vivendi, and wine no more.

I am not french.

iTunes be strokin' it!

Yep. first time! iTunes is now in the Big Leagues with the Big Boys - their latest update (7.1.1.5 - the ".5" is another in a long line of AAC-crack buster algos) - iTunes is now installing a KEY LOGGER.

I use ZA Pro, so I just DENIED iTunes from ever being able to LOG KEY STROKES.

What Bullshit, Apple?

Just say no to iTunes needing to record your keystrokes, as it would never have to.

Ana Rincon is an idiot.

Her info on how to handle copyright violators is laughable if it weren't so scary and if it weren't for the fact that every body does this when confronted with SOME ONE ELSE'S Copyrights being violated!

Stupid. You do not - and according to the Act CAN NOT - take ALLEGED Copyright violators to court UNTIL you have at least followed the grievance procedures set out BY THE ACT. The Act supersedes any and all other sanctions IMAGINED yet still printed, publicised, adhered to by Colleges, High Schools, Libraries, companies, etc, all blindly thinking they know Copyright Law. The Copyright Act is not huge and nor hard to read. The DMCA bullshit, however, is complicated and is hard to read, but what of it?

The ONLY course of action for you to take when you feel violated is to report the violation to the PEOPLE THAT CAN AND WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT LEGALLY! That would be the US Copyright Office for ALLEGED Copyright infringement. Your College has NO BUSINESS accusing anyone nor imagining anyone of violating copyright law - how can they? No college employee nor student anywhere in the US can legally enforce ANY violation of the Act. Enforcement of the Act is the sole territory of the US Treasury Department. A college employee certainly can not enforce any ALLEGATIONS of same. And yet most schools print in their Policy Manuals words to that detrimental effect. I can not wait to get into the court system over Person A accusing Person B (me, in this case) of violating Person C's copyright, I live for this shit.

If you see a customer copying something at Kinko's, say of a picture taken by a photographer that you know Personally, and you some how, some way, find out that this customer does NOT have the Copyright Holder's permission to copy that picture, is there anything that you can do on behalf of your photographer friend?

Well, yes, there is something we can do to help the friend - one thing, and one thing only: You can call him on the phone and ask him to get his ass down quick to the Local Kinko's, because , "Dude, someone is copying one of your photographs from one of your published books! You better get down here and kick this guy's ass! I talked with a Kinko's employee about it and they said they only refuse to copy the works themselves, unless THE CUSTOMER gives a copy of signed permission form FROM the original Copyright Holder".

And that, my friends, is all that anyone can and is allowed to do under the Copyright Act. In this case, since I am not the copyright holder, I can not accuse nor report this Kinko's customer to anyone except the original copyright holder - period. I cannot complain to the Office of Copyright, the cops, the Kinko's store managers, no one except the original copyright holder. And if the original copyright holder does not care (about this one-time infringement) then I still can not do anything more. That is all.

Look it up: In your State, there are a list of crimes that can be reported and to whom they can be reported. Unfortunately there is no list of alleged crimes that CAN NOT be reported.

The Kinko's case is brought in here because Kinko's the company was once involved in a Copyright infringement case, that ultimately put ALL copy stores and libraries with copy machines "On Notice". The settlement specific to Kinko's was that they must FOREVER and ALWAYS (this now includes FedEx's ownership interest in Kinko's) must refuse all customer requests to make copies of customer's work unless the Kinko's Mange or employee attempting to do the work is ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the CUSTOMER owns or holds ALL copyright to all the work that the customer wishes the Kinko's employee to copy.

ANY and ALL COPYRIGHT infringement can only be PROVED, DISPROVED and SETTLED first with the Office of Copyright, and if not there, then appealed to a COURT of actual LAW. Why do we not know this in America?

How hard is that, really?

Factoring out the fear.

Joe Rogan, you are the MAN.

What the FUCK is going on here people?

Mitzi? If I EVER thought of doing standup again, it would have to be when you fire your sons from running the Comedy Whore (I meant Store). That you should even have to HEAR Joe's "side" of things is laughable - the mere thought of it is damned funnier than Mencia.

And what about Paul Rodriguez? He is one funny brown man. goddam! And fuck you Wikipedia for not listing Rodriguez at the top of the (at least Menstealia is near the bottom).

You know, we had Calos Mencia here at our school, the College of Lake County*, and yes, he was funny. But, not funnier than George Lopez (George must cringe everytime he hears one of his jokes come out of Ned) whom we have not had here, yet. At least George's fist in Mencia's face is funny.


* Yah, the same College of Lake County that Edward James Olmos cancelled TWO (2) appearances. (He has now the nickname of Edward James Almost because of it, too).


On the other hand, I don't care who handed Joe the microphone: because KUDOS to you my man or woman, KUDOS TO YOU!


Forgive me Joe

Joe Rogan VS Carlos Mencia ONSTAGE VIDEO.

So you see how pissed off I am about Mencia - I have to steal Joe's links for the video!

By the way: my use of the word FUCK is of course covered by the 1st ammendment (go, you ACLU, go!)

Illinois State Agency Web Standards do not work

There is absolutely zero excuse for the following website to be down:

http://www100.state.il.us/iwas/


The page we get:

Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

JRun closed connection.

-------------------end

HA! Unbelievabull. Who is their ISP? Idiots anyway - FIX THE LICENSING ISSUES MORONS! GET THE CORRECT VERSION AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS ERROR.

The page is supposed to inform us of Illinois Web Accessibility Standards (talk about your handicapped websites)

First of all, IMHO, CLC should have an injunction against Illinois as to our "agency" status, until our "agency" status can be proved or disproved or NOT approved.

NO college should ever be considered a "State Agency". Gavoyabitch, you IDIOT!
(I would be more vocal, but I am not registered again, but will be soon all because Ron Lackey is running for CLC Board of Directors - Lackey and Lumber or Lackey and Barb O,, just say no to Lumber AND Barb O).

If CLC is considered a state agency, then web standards of the state for everybody, but NOT UNTIL THE DAMNED WEBSITE WORKS THAT IS SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE STANDARDS ARE! Sweet, sweet irony, folks!

The dangers of post-it notes

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS WAAAAY OVER ANALYZED! (big suprise)

I received a post-it note with a message on it paired with a verbal genuine concern from a co-worker today, Tuesday.

The message/note was delivered to my co-worker last "....Friday", by another co-worker of ours, we'll call him "Last Friday". The note contained a simple message conveying a problem that, to me had I received the note last Friday, could have been eliminated. Last Friday. The verbal message accompanying the note handed (today, Tuesday) me I had perhaps - I will concede here - mis-heard, that an administrator had reported an incident indicated in the post it note.

I decided to seek the advice of a wise sage.

My supervisor told me to "...[not] worry", and "...just fix it [the problem].". Well, when I am told to not worry, I generally take that to mean "drop it, don't worry, no further analysis or work is needed". And yet, I ponder the inequity.

On the other hand, I am reminded of the movie starring Demi Moore & Michael Douglas, "Disclosure"; a movie of reverse sexual harassment - girl against guy - in which Douglas' character was anonymously told, almost continually, to "fix the problem" - even after he was sure he need not worry. (no spoiler here). Well I digress, for some odd reason - really odd - I have sexual harassment on my mind today, but it obviously has nothing do with "...what I am just trying to convey the sentiments of everyone here. That's all I was trying to do...."

Immediately after a casual "walk with me" interview of the administrator mentioned earlier in this blog, that administrator had no idea what I was referencing. They were clearly not involved with the delivery of the message, the note, nor its meaning, although they may have been present at the time of "the incident", they were not made aware of it., at its occurrence in time. Last Friday.

I thought to myself, "I could be embarrassed by this, or I could existentially choose not to be and, 'fix the problem'."

Hence, this blog post.

The lesson for everyone is: deliver your concern over an incident on the day it happens, otherwise ignorance will be my watch word. You're on notice, Mr. "Last Friday". OR even I can forget to deliver messages from time to time - unless, of course, I know that delaying such a message (consciously) would cause any turmoil.

Hey, turmoil? None caused. None perceived. The communication problem = Fixed.

On a side note: "So, stop the suspense. Please, tell us what was on the note; what did it say?"
Well, if I answer that question, I would be violating the first rule of working at CLC Radio.
Rules and regulations are within easy reach in their website.
