This just in, UOIT, the university I attend, censors the Internet. They have blocked the site suprnova.org in the residences at least. This site is a bittorrent hub that has the biggest repository of bittorrent trackers I have ever seen. I will not be able to find out if the block is campus-wide until tomorrow, the tech department closes at four. Things that will be needed to find out:

Even if this is legal it is definitely legal for me to tell everyone that the school censors the Internet. In practice I support the blocking of this site, there are really easy ways to get around the block. However, I am an elitist geek so that shouldn't apply. In my heart of hearts I think everyone should use the CLI so I guess we are on par. However, if they start reducing bandwidth, and thereby costs, this way what is next? Porn? Video Games? I guess I will have to tell everyone the open ports. MSN needs certain known port numbers to work, therefore there will always be open ports if they start just blocking ports like they did last year. The IT people are really goddamn stupid.

So Bush won again did he? Well I think he won with a star just like the last time. The ACLU is sueing the government over lost absentee balots, the Dibold machines are fucking pieces of shit and there are already irregularities surfacing in Ohio. Well as boing boing put it: "There is still one chance to get him out of the White House - send him a pack of pretzels to celebrate his victory."
