Nah. If I don't want to use Python, I shouldn't be forced to use it.

Marked as Troll? Huh, I'm curious as to the reasoning behind this.

Did you RTFA? Apparently RightsCorp gives the ISP the list of IPs for free. They make their money off of the folks who do the downloading ("for $20 per track or movie we'll remove your name from this list we're sending to your ISP"). Anyone still on the list goes to the ISP who is legally required to send letters to the subscriber. This increases their chances of losing the customer. Without the list of IPs provided by RightsCorp, the ISP legally doesn't have to do anything.

So "I'll sell you this list of IP addresses for $10 each" would be met with "sorry, no idea who you are or what you're talking about, kthxby"

Sounds more like Blackmail.

Hey, perhaps there's a trend here. My ex-wife used Netflix. Both from the DVD mail and now streaming.

I read, play guitar, game, work in the yard or on the house, and lately I've been studying for my RHCSA/RHCE to go with my CCNA/CCNP, SCSA/SCNA, and 3Wizard certs :)

Just to add a vote here, I don't use Netflix. Certainly I don't count as 'a lot' but I am part of a group :)

Maybe you should change brands of popcorn o_O

Well, Title IX is being used to ensure colleges actually follow up on rape accusations vs sweeping them under the rug or performing a delaying action until the case times out (180 days). There have been a few fakes that I've found in searching. But I do also find it astounding (in my reading) that a woman can say she agreed to the sex, (went back to his place, said 'yes', etc) but felt that she was under duress and can call it rape. Makes you want to just avoid contact with women entirely.

There are others who like writing docs. I brought that to my team. I do it as a matter of defence. When the guys come to me with a question, I point them to the docs. So I get bothered less for little things. We do get more questions from other teams because we better understand how things work at the company.

Title IX of course. Since there aren't as many women and girls in Video Gaming, once they're 'Sports', Title IX can be used to "encourage" girls to play. Then there'll be more girls in Video gaming!

It's just like real sports where Title IX has brought the participation of women up to close what mens participation is (like 45/55 I think was the last stat I read).

I've also heard Title IX is being examined to apply to STEM courses as well to ensure more women are represented in STEM courses.

There are ads on youtube?

You can't see the magazine pictures in the dark.

Technically the link was with antiperspirants and not deodorants and was debunked years ago.

Jesus, using Snopes on Slashdot. What's the world coming to?

That's fine actually. When I get to that point, I'll look into upgrading. But for now it works just fine.

Really? I have a 1st Gen iPad and see no reason to replace it with a 2, 3, or 4. I browse websites, use it when working on the bike or car to look stuff up, listen to music (plugged in to external speakers of course), check my mail, play games (Plants vs Zombies but not PvZ2 since it requires an iPad 2).

I did finally replace my iPhone 3GS with an iPhone 5 though. It is a lot better than the 3GS.

I'm good with what I have :)
