I think the best part is them claiming that they were hacked, when in reality they made the site's backup available on their main page for all to download for a short period of time when they were trying to restore the site after the DDoS attack. A zip file that was not encrypted in any way that contained EVERYTHING.
Smart move guys! Especially considering the amount of page requests you were getting,

MPAA is down for me and aiplex is still trying to load.
I'm in Canada though.

To be fair, while the OP clearly has reading issues, he's right (if you ignore his link).
You can easily change your user-agent in Opera and I would assume Chrome would be the same.

And, if you actually read the article, you'd find out that this isn't what it's about.

And what is your point here?
That Google is the most widely used because it's just better than the rest for results? That's a damn good reason to stop them. We should be taking Google offline right now!!!! I'm sure no one will mind using switching to Bing, their results are ALMOST decent. Better yet, we can use one of the no-name search engines.

Also, why would Bing quit? When does Microsoft quit? How was that in any way relevant?
Your logic is astounding. I'm also fairly sure your list of search engines is nowhere near complete.
(I'm hoping you are just a troll, but in case you are not, please don't ever breed)

And you can prove that they did distribute? Since the RIAA isn't able to or prove much for that fact, yet the defendants still end up paying the price when they lose.

I don't think suing teenagers is the way to go. Regardless of whether she knew it was illegal or not.

Basically this. If you can't use it to stream porn, it's useless.

Sorry, I must have got it confused. There was a discussion on another site about this where I seemed to have gotten the idea that the vice principal had made a statement. Carry on...

A lot of news outlets are quoting the vice principal on this:

On November 11, 2009, Plaintiffs were for the first time informed of the above-mentioned capability and practice by the School District when Lindy Matsko, an Assistant Principal at Harriton High School, informed minor Plaintiff that the School District was of the belief that minor Plaintiff was engaged in improper behavior in his home, and cited as evidence a photograph from the webcam embedded in minor Plaintiff’s personal laptop issued by the School District.

I'm going to assume you are trying for a joke here. In either case, you are doing something wrong.

Not that I don't agree with you about all of this, but Paypal is also not a bank, which is why they are so terrible and do some of the shit they do.

You beat me to it.
It's totally Hamthrax.

Yeah there hasn't been anything good out for a while.

It's even worse than that. People save everything to the desktop and expect everything to either start automatically or have a shortcut on the desktop.
I also didn't understand this feature. It should never have been implemented.

Netflix?

Steam Purchases + Updates.

If I had an HDTV, I'd be using Netflix or renting movings from my Xbox, I could probably go through a movie each night. Each movie is going to be big if it's in HD.

Also, a lot of my games on Steam are over 5+GB. If I formated and needed to re-download them, well, I'd definatly go through more than 100GB.

Who says the cotent is always free? You can buy things and DOWNLOAD them. Have you ever been on the internet?
