Oh you will pay when people start capping their bandwidth allowances and the telcos come to the conclusion that everyone must pay more to cover the bandwidth hogs.

Your mobile phone is...

Yes they will... but none of those will mark your palm with a glowing dot telling everyone you meet it is your time to pass.

I am so going to write a device driver virus for these things and call it Logan.

What TPB did and Google does not, is format the search results in a way that makes it easy to get exactly what you want. If you use the well known filetype:torrent on Google to search something all you get is the standard high page rank hits first. This with no peer or seed numbers, comments or screen captures,so it is a crap shoot as to actually getting a good file. I guess they will hide behind the term vague search results, or, 'we only provide the links and nothing more'. Now if the comments and seed info were decentralized... well that would be...

A party it will be.... Just hope it doesn't end up some sophomoric anger fest and the spokespeople have a solid message and play by the rules.

I think the tile of 'Idiot who made this web page stoopid' sums it up most of the time.

When I was still gaming on a regular basis, I came up with the idea that in WoW a simple solution would be the following. Most if not all Gold sellers are using lvl 1 characters, and, most if not all use the words or combination of words, Gold, 1000, $xx.xx and some web address in their shout outs. By combining these variables with the current ability of people in game to tag players as spamming, it would be fairly easy to turn a character into a killable target if it passes a certain spam score. Let's say three spam tags and at least 2 key words. It then becomes a game to kill the Gold sellers.
The other thing would be to make it impossible for any character on a trial account, or under a certain minimum level from entering any city.
When Gold sellers have to pay $15 a month to create characters who have to be played up to level 10 before they can get into a city and keep getting killed the second they shout out, it becomes more of a cost then a benefit.
Oh, and to all you mages out there, and I am one, stop porting lvl 1 characters to cities.

You would think that Microsoft researchers would spend more time patching Windows rather than saying idiotic things like 'It is possible that these miscreants somehow collaborate or at least are aware of each other's "products."'.
Considering Conficker has been all over the news and the maker of Neeris would have to be working in a cave beside Osama not to have seen anything about it, I dare say it is more than freakin' likely they know of each others products.
Now if only Microsoft knew as much about Windows as these guys do, we might actually get updates that that were more valuable.

See below for everyone else's 2 cents worth.

It's fairly poignant the fact that she gives everyone the same gift, a silver framed picture of her... Pretty much says, 'you ain't shit better than anyone else, but I am da bomb.'

Also mentioned was Johnny Depp as TPB's new mascot.

'Watchmen filetype:torrent' makes Google a torrent search engine... Don't see them pulled into court... granted, places like ISO hunt, Torrent reactor and Pirate bay are making their name specifically by only searching for one file type. I wonder how things change if they add more file types and let you sort the results?

You know, that is one of the only reasons I want to be rich. Just so I can hire security for my compound and make the uniforms silver jump suits. That and a powered gate with shrubs on it obscuring my driveway. I mean what wouldn't you do if you had a hundred mil?
