New Hampshire – Live Free or Die

Leave a comment

What a joke. Not only that, but they’ve capitalized it.

Proposed legislation in New Hampshire, that self-proclaimed bastion of freedom or death, would be sure to keep ’em down on the farm. Jesus, what’s with those people?

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person, including a business owner or employee thereof, shall be required to provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges to an individual if the request is related to the solemnization, celebration, or promotion of a marriage and providing such services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges would be a violation of the person’s conscience or religious faith. A person’s refusal to provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges in accordance with this section shall not create any civil claim or cause of action or result in any state action to penalize or withhold benefits from such person.

Live free or die indeed.

Logitech Setpoint missing mouse and keyboard tabs fixed

Thanks to feedback from Jonathan On December 10, 2016:

Your trick worked for me, but then I found a newer software called Logitech SetPoint Options (https://support.logitech.com/en_us/software/options) which worked as advertised for me. You might consider adding a mention to the top of the post to save lots of people lots of trouble.

*

August 25, 2016: And, for those of you (myself included) wrestling with the Logitech double click problem, I solved mine with Scotch® Brand tape. View the simple fix video here. It seems that those stupid sons of bitches at Logitech engineering can’t even design a push-button that functions for a reasonable amount of time.

I added one layer of Scotch tape at a time, rather than use drywall tape. It’s such a simple fix that I decided to go that way. We’ll see how it goes.

*

I must admit that I no longer use the Logitech mouse software that those stupid sons of bitches at Logitech distribute. My Logitech mouse works just as well and is just as functional without the software that those stupid sons of bitches at Logitech publish. So long, you Logitch useless sons of bitches that write your software. It’s been good to know ya as a punching bag.

The Windows 10 mouse controls in Settings / Devices / Mouse & touchpad / Additional mouse options (at the bottom of the screen) are more than adequate for the average user. A similar mouse control is contained in all earlier versions of Windows.

*

UPDATED June 21 2015: I’m running a pre-release version of Windows 10. SetPoint appears to be working as it should. Ditto Windows 8.1 with the patch Tuesday updates earlier this month.

*

UPDATED July 2014: Those stupid sons of bitches at Logitec™ have come out with an update to their SetPoint software (6.65.62). But don’t worry, folks. Those stupid sons of bitches at Logitec STILL DON’T HAVE A WORKING VERSION. They’re still in beta. Go figure.

Note to those stupid sons of bitches at Logitec: Why can’t you stupid sons of bitches at Logitec get a version of your SetPoint software that actually WORKS? Why can’t you, you stupid sons of bitches at Logitec, PRODUCE a version of your SetPoint software that works? Furthermore, why can’t you stupid sons of bitches at Logitec hire a Chinese or Japanese kid that could bring your SetPoint software into the 2000s? I mean, really, you stupid sons of bitches at Logitec have had since around 2007 to produce a product that actually works.

Finally, a query: What do the stupid sons of bitches at Logitec do all day in their little cubicles?

*

Logitech has had a problem since at least 2007 with mouse and keyboard tabs disappearing/missing from their Setpoint software. The tabs will randomly disappear after an install. Trust me on this, and don’t bother with the google, because those stupid sons of bitches at Logitech don’t have a meaningful, clued-in response that doesn’t include removing and reinstalling the software. Even then, Logitech can’t get their Setpoint software to run with mouse and keyboard tabs.

Here’s how I solved the problem with Windows 8 (if you’re running Win7, give it a try and let me know if it works):

  1. Open Task Manager with CTRL-SHIFT-ESC and select Processes.
  2. Right click on Logitech KHAL Main Process and Logitech SetPoint Event Manager (UNICODE), select End task to close each of them in turn, and then close the Task Manager.
  3. Go to c:/Program Files/Logitech/SetPointP.
  4. Scroll down to SetPoint.exe.
  5. Right click on it.
  6. Select Run as administrator, and

Voila! Problem solved – for a while, at least, probably until one needs to complete the routine all over again.

Update:

  1. If you create a desktop shortcut to SetPoint.exe like I did, you won’t have to continually drill down into Program Files. All you have to do is right click and select Run as administrator after exiting the SetPoint icon in the Task Manager.
  2. I have discovered that if I select Show hidden icons on the Taskbar, right click on the Logitech icon and select close, then all I have to do is the first bullet point, above. There’s no need to go into the Task Manager at all.

Addendum: Really? Uninstall and re-install and restart the computert? Logitech can’t be serious about that, can they? Because IT DOESN’T WORK!

ADDENDUM Mouse wheel stops scrolling – December 27, 2013: I turn my Logitech Anywhere MX mouse off to save juice. When I turned it back on, it wouldn’t scroll. To solve that problem, I turned it off again, removed the batteries, and put them back in. That appeared to fix the scrolling problem.

Filezilla missing mingwm10.dll

2 Comments

FileZilla is a fail on all accounts. During my most recent upload of a WordPress theme, it refused, time after time and attempt after attempt, to upload many of the files. Additionally, the size of many of the files the program did manage to upload came NOWHERE NEAR the size of the original file. DON’T USE FileZilla SOFTWARE.

Instead, I now use WinSCP. Try it. You’ll like it. If you’ve been using FileZilla previously, WinSCP will ask if you wish to import your Filezilla settings. Isn’t that grand?

*     *     *

Update: FileZilla’s missing mingwm10.dll problem has been solved for some time now. The solution? Update your Filezilla software under Help/Check for updates. Go and download WinSCP instead.

*     *     *

Filezilla has turned into junk software. Their forum has no solution whatsoever. In fact, the Filezilla forum seems fixated on its own answers for a solution. THERE IS NO meaningful SOLUTION on the Filezilla forums. My recommendation to the Filezilla incompetents: take the program down until you can find a solution to the “missing mingwm10.dll” that occurs constantly in Windows 7 and Windows 8 64-bit software.

In the meantime, the rest of us can find some other FTP software.

Those Roman Catholic sons of bitches just don’t get it

Ignorance is bliss

The dirty, filthy, perverted bastards.

And it’s no wonder with people like this still wanting to pull their habits over the children in an attempt to keep everything the way it was–and still is, in many cases.

A well-known New York priest is coming under criticism for saying that priests accused of child sex abuse are often seduced by their accusers and that a first-time offender should not go to jail.

The Rev. Benedict Groeschel of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal made the comments in an interview with the National Catholic Register this week. —Globe and Mail

FBI’s Most Wanted: Insane Clown Posse fans

2 Comments

ICPSay what?

The FBI has classified fans of ICP as “gang members”. WTF is with the FBI virgins these days? That old closet queer Hoover, their former director, is long gone. Hell, that alone should have dragged the FBI kicking and screaming into the ’60s. Alas, no, they’re still fucking morons.

Next Der Homeland Stasi will be landing their helicopters on the doorsteps of ICP fans. Mom and Dad will no doubt be happy when that happens.

Note to FBI and Der Homeland Stasi: You’re still morons. Fuck you. Just for you, here’s a link to ICP’s web site — because, you know, you probably didn’t know they had one.

And just because, here’s another link for the stupids, known as the FBI and DHS.

As you can imagine, being classified as a “gang” has ICP and its Juggalos a tad upset. There’s no word on whether Deadheads are incensed that they haven’t been included in American law enforcement’s ongoing downhill race to be known as the stupidest people in the entire world.

America should take some notes from newly-liberated Russian courts and classify all music-lovers as hooligans. That makes about as much sense.

Note to America:  You are so screwed.

On the road, Rest areas, Stupidity plain and simple

No deposit, no return

1 Comment

Closed and forgottenAfter crossing the great expanse of nothing called Manitoba, I was looking forward to taking a much-needed break just inside the Ontario border on Highway 17 – otherwise known as the Trans-Canada. There’s a nice little rest area off the highway, tucked away in tall pines. Tables, washrooms, drinks – all available there.

Okay, there used to be a rest stop there.

The dumbasses in control of those little things that make all the difference when one is traveling the highways and byways in the once and former great Ontar-i-ari-ari-o have decreed the place to be closed. Now one must once again search out the nearest tall – or short (no prejudice here) – tree to urinate, defecate, throw out trash and generally cause and create mayhem.

Welcome to Northwestern Ontario
Isn’t this a pretty picture to behold on your first visit to the grand Province of Ontario? It’s hard to tell who does highway maintenance these days. Probably no one.

For all, it’s a return to the snowplow turnout to make deposits like wild animals roaming the deep, dark woods, huffing and puffing and snuffing out a spot to do our business. The north is given the privilege of contributing billions to the economic life of southern Ontario, while the buffoons governing the province force travelers and citizens all to piss against trees and bury waste in the moss.

The lovely and accommodating snowplow turnout in the north
The lovely and accommodating snowplow turnout complete with shitty diaper in the middle of it all. If you hold it until you get to southern Ontario, you’ll be able to avail yourself of an actual rest area designed for people, not animals.

Too bad, so sad.

But don’t despair, good traveler! If you can wait until you get to southern Ontario to urinate and defecate, you will be warmly welcomed into a rest stop such as this.

The United Nations is investigating “food safety” in Canada

Leave a comment

Just another reason to stop funding the stupidity of this organization that has become such a boondoggle to the people and nations that actually wind up paying the bills.

“A special U.N. investigation found Canada is in violation of its international obligations when it comes to ensuring its citizens can access adequate and affordable food.” -Global News

I’m thinking that Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food, is all excited and wetting his pants that he’s found a country outside of Africa that won’t shoot his ass off when he crosses the border. Hell, he can even fly into Canada and not have his airplane do the hurdy-gurdy in an attempt at dodging RPG and AK fire during its approach to the runway.

There’s no word on when he plans on crossing the border to the U.S. for an investigation there, but my recommendation to der Homeland Seguridad (not that I expect anyone there is reading this, but if you are, kiss my ass) would be to refuse this guy entry and send him packing back to Canada the U.N. in New York City, where he no doubt will be welcomed home with open arms by all the white black people feeding off the carcases of the white nations that fund their stupidity.

In the meantime, I’m apparently starving. Please send money, post haste. I’ll have the PayPal account all set up shortly. Not.

That outfit (the U.N., not Paypal – in case there’s any doubt) doesn’t know shit from shinola.
