[edit] About

I'm a computer science college student, techie, gamer... LAWL. I am a supporter of open-source, free software, and public domain software/content and use it as a stepping stone to improve a potential career, my communication skills, or the human condition. You should take advantage of these open opportunities to improve yourself.

[edit] Beliefs

[edit] Personal

My belief is that if you play both sides of the fence you win so if you bet on good and bet on bad you never lose like casino craps... there are many ways to win. Never let your biases blind you.

More of my core beliefs...

DTA... Don't trust anybody ...cuz stone cold said so. --Stone Cold Steve Austin of WWE

General rule about computer security... if your computer is compromised... the system can no longer be trusted... (context: fact is that if your computer is under the control of a rootkit how do you know that you have removed the rootkit completely... the rootkit still may be under control... BTW Leo Leporte claims that a rootkit itself is a virtual machine, itself a operating system, that hides itself from the main host computer operating system that it infects... the operating system itself cannot see the rootkit... Leporte claims that another rootkit must be used to remove a rootkit since the operating system itself cannot remove it ...sort of like the movie Matrix idea... matrix within a matrix eh.) --Leo Leporte

[edit] Wikipedia

Well having done a lot of edits there are a lot of things I've learn. Well first off the idea of truth is stupid because if we just restrict content to truth (hem hem fact) then there would be there would be fewer articles on Wikipedia and so much bias. This makes it more loose when it comes to content allowed on Wikipedia. This gives a lot of leeway for mistakes and alternative hypotheticals and open views. Also... the idea of merging the policies really needs to be made... so many articles fail even this test of meeting the criteria for WP:OR WP:RS and WP:V policies... thus Wikipedia is an unreliable source of information. For me all statements are untrustworthy unless provided citation because how do u know if a source is reliable if it isn't sourced or backed up with evidence to support. If someone accidentally draws a synthesis of information and that synthesis is not verifiable, it isn't reliable. Again, some people go so far to discredit the entire the entire work as unreliable just because of this. However, I do not go so far to discredit because it is the best people have to offer. Plus you gotta weed out the propaganda and hearsay people put on the page... it is really bad on Wikipedia. Again history holds true on 20-20 hindsight facts today might not be facts tomorrow.

Stuff I don't agree on Wikipedia is the sexual content... even if you look at the breast page they present seamingly young breast... how do I know those people fit the criteria as an adult and have consent from parents... This is where Wikipedia needs to be more strong on policy. Plus there are sickos on the internet and thus they need to be stopped. More detailed records should be kept when it comes to sensitive material I believe. Also, when it comes to content, there should be verification for adult material. Because Wikipedia is now regarded by many as a legitimate source of information and thus high schools and teachers could be fired for showing pornographic material. Responsibility should be done on both sides and I feel that Wikipedia is not doing their part. Some pornographic sites are more responsible than Wikipedia.

[edit] Name origin

Oh... this name came from teh song... LAWL. It was ment to be something fun and motivating. I also think of it being a motivator like an army sergeant in your face... kicking dust in my face... saying "get on your feet," sir... in times where Wikipedia editors try to tie me down. It came from Gloria Estefan's song that Balmer parody... LAWL! Like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FncILxajmlw

[edit] Wiki history

Wikipedia isn't my first wiki contribution. Actually my first wiki contribution is WoWWiki then Gentoo Wiki. As far as Wikipedia is concern, I started to contribute to Zune's Wikipedia page to try perserve some consistency. Wikipedia lacks some credibility sometimes. To prove my point for example lets use a widely used experiment in trying to pass a sentence to the end of the communication chain. You tell the idiots to not change the words of the sentence and they go ahead and jokingly spread misinformation. LAWL! The point is everyone has their own filters and may add or remove information and the final output is not the same. I continually edit the Zune webpage because I see inconsistency between what Microsoft claims and what is actually delivered and what the editor puts down. Sometimes all the ducks don't line up. I help sort this out for you guys. I edit wikis because either I own the product or have something to share. I also see alot of mistakes and correctly edit them to perserve accuracy against the primary source. Sometimes this works out and sometimes I discover something interesting to share. I will help support Wikipedia casually for topics I'm interested and passionate about in since I don't get paid for works contributed.

[edit] Topic interests

Here are a list of possible topics that I may cover — music, current events (news), oddities, paranormal, technology, computing, software, security, gaming, entertainment, law.

[edit] Editing style

I will stick on a single topic and unload a bunch of diffs. I tend to make alot of mistakes but make it up with quality content.

[edit] Questions? comments?

Go in my discussion page K? Understand? LAWL!

[edit] Experiments

I'm experimenting with the creation of userboxes... the styles here seem pretty cool. Many of the offered boxes from wikipedia are somewhat limited so ill try to expand the possiblities. Some of these are no way representative of me but I do give my time to them so you guys have more choice.
