This is the beginning of my point of view upon the danish welfare system - and the people taking advantage of it. Please note, that you might find the following text offending if you receive social benefit from the government. However - I do not give a shit, honestly.

Again; all information stated in the following is seen from my point of view, with all the twists I do WANT to see it with. Do not flame me for that. If you do, it tells more about you than it does about me. I am a capitalist asshole, and I approve this message.

How it is

If you do not work, you can get social benefits from the government. This makes you a welfare recipient. As a welfare recipient you are put into different types of activationprojects to get your lazy ass out of the chair and do something with your life, instead of wasting away my money. However, if you have a statement from a somewhat competent psychiatrist, you can be a true freeloader and get paid for doing - nothing. If you are not fucked up enough - then you get sent to some kind of school, typically VUC(AEC), which means “Adult Educational Centre”.. A place primarily filled with social dropouts.

Welfare checks are for losers!

Quite a statement. Nonetheless that is how I state it. Most of the losers are blaming society for their pity, somehow emoish. No matter what went wrong in their life, it is because of this “stupid society” (that gives you bread in your fucking mouth!). They often state “why do they not help me?”, “everything is because they will not help me” - and crap like that. I am god damn sick and tired of hearing that! Be a little constructive here, people, do something with your life! Stop wasting it and blaming others.

There is no heaven of glory bright and no hell where sinners roast. Here and now is our day of torment! Here and now is our day of joy!
- Anton Szandor LaVey.

This is for everyone. Stop having self-pity, and DO something.

..I wanna do something, but they wont help me!

What.. You are babling again! Whom are THEY and why must THEY help you? What is the hard thing about applying to a danish education? You get fucking paid for studying, it is completely free and all you need to do is pull yourself a little together, have self-discipline enough to actually meet up every morning.

Or.. you could raise your lazy ass and put down a letter of application to a job.. Oh, you are not good at expressing yourself? You can not spell? Oh, what a pity - YOU SHOULD HAVE FUCKING THOUGHT OF THAT WHEN YOU WERE IN SCHOOL… You are shy too? woopty-fucking-doo, got more excuses for continuing to wear expensive clothes and buying new gear paid with MY hard earned money?

….to be continued!

iPhone: Customize Carrier Logo

How to make a custom logo like this

To use this guide you must have access to the filesystem. If you do not know how to do this, read this post.

  1. Go to installer.app
  2. Browse to Utilities and install “Make It Mine”
  3. Access the root filesystem and browse to /System/Library/CoreServices and then ctrl+click on “SpringBoard” and select “Show Package Pontents”.
  4. Now you need your PNG’s.
    They must be called Default_CARRIER_IPOD.png and FSO_CARRIER_IPOD.png. The “Default” is the one shown in every application you open. The other one is the one shown at “Home”.If you use a danish carrier, I have created a logopack including: Bibob, Happii, Sonofon, TDC, Telia and Telmore logos. Preview them below the howto. Download it here: dk_carrier_bundle.zip

    If you want to create your own logoset, you can use these two as templates:
    FSO: <– It’s there, you can click it. It’s transparent with white logo.
    Default:
  5. Turn your iPhone off (holding down the button at the top for 3 secs).
  6. Turn it on again..
  7. Open the “MIM” application you installed earlier.
  8. Enter Carrier Name: Ipod
  9. Click “Set”
  10. Voila, you now have your own beautiful custom logo.

So.. I got it.. The iPhone, finally. What I could do is to write the regular stuff that everyone does on how it works and so on.. But I’d rather not. Hacking devices and gadgets is funny, and that is exactly what my iPhone is. Hacked.
To do all of this you need:

  • Jailbroken iPhone.
  • Mac OS X (I use 10.5.2 on an iMac)
  • iPhone USB Cable (duh..)
  • patience
  • WLAN

Everything you do is at your own risk. I did it all to my iPhone with great success.

Gaining access to the filesystem

A large portion of the mods requires that you gain access to the iPhones filesystem. If you do not use any special method you like, read this on how to gain access - it is required for most mods.

There are many ways to do this. I found one of them the easiest of them all (at least I think..).

  1. Fire up Installer.app and browse to Install > Network > AFPd
  2. Install it.
  3. Open AFPd and make your settings. It should something like this:

  4. After that, your iPhone will show up in your Finder:
  5. Click it and choose “Connect As…” from the bar at the top of the window.
  6. login as root. If you did not change it, the default password is alpine
  7. Congrats. You’re in your iPhone.. do not mess around too much - we don’t wanna end up with an iBrick.

Just without money..

Have you ever wondered how the world would work, if money did not exist? … Please do not say “then we would have some other type of payment…” you stupid douchebag, that’s not what I am looking for.

Sometimes at night, when I am supposed to sleep I think instead (fuck..) and one of the thoughts coming to my mind is this. If every person in the world were equal (not that I want it that way, I’m not hippie.) what would it be like? Would we have all the great things we have to day - materialistic stuff that is - and would the gap in personal status be as big?

Of course there would still be leaders, bosses, nerds, smartguys, bitches, sweet girls, white, black, red and yellow people - but else than that.

Why not play with the thought? How would a shoppingmall be? Who would want to work and get exactly nothing from it - and would our minds even be focused on wheter we were going to be rewarded for our work? Would human values actually BE our drive?

…How about violence and war? If every man and woman were equal, would violence even be necessary.. If so, what would the reason be?

What would define power and might? Wealth would not be it. Would power and might even exist? Who would do research on diseases? Would there be healthcare? Who wants to spend years to learn something, just to know it with no reward? - And who would teach the stuff? How would we travel?

Better stop now. Questions are unlimited… Give it a thought! If you find the solution, mail me ;)
