    You know, I'm increasingly alarmed by the "just let some company handle it" attitude of people towards computers and the internet.

    My ideal world consists of people selling you the box you have which manages your data for you, but not directly holding it. Not where we seem to be heading, which is "The Company will manage your hardware for you."

    Why?

    The whole attitude is slowly making people pliable to ideas that eventually lead to de facto oligarchy. When someone wants to sit back and say "we don't IPv6 because no one really needs to be able to use P2P-type services", that is what people are advocating.

    "Leave it to a big company".

    Hrm.

    I think that a lot of people don't ask the right questions when choosing to outsource.

    I go over this with clients when they start asking about cloud computing. The cost per month versus the TCO of keeping whatever system in-house isn't enough. They need to ask some hard questions about backups, downtime, SLAs, privacy, disaster plans, colocations, physical access to data centers, etc.

    I was oddly depressed when I reread Gravity's Rainbow in the summer because it made me realize just how inferior DFW is to Pynchon. DFW is totally indebted to Pynchon.

    Also, Will, it's because you stirred the polenta in multiple directions. If you do that, the polenta gets angry. (It's an old Italian wives tale, apparently.)

    Also also, Dubstep is annoying.

    Also aslo I should go to target and get some shopping done.

    Anyways one of them exploded as I was stirring and shot A big load of boling corn magma into my left eye. It fuckin hurts dudes.

    Dubstep is amazing when done well, but it's particularly horrible when it's bad. I'd liken it to where trance was in 2000, when it became a thing and any idiot with a pirated DAW could slap some nails-on-chalkboard sample on top of a canned beat and call it a song.

    Yeah, but that's just because dubstep allows for production display. It's kind of like nature films -- they're pretty cool, but the reason that they are SO POPULAR is because they are film technique displays.
