If HBO were really cunning & smart, they would have floated each ep as a kickstarter project & said they're not releasing it until it hits $xxx. Then they could just seed a few torrents & let us chumps pay for distribution & word-of-mouth reviews/free advertising.

Someone with an already popular show & loyal fan base is bound to try this soon, just surprised they haven't yet.

Defiantly...?

I had the solution for virus/malware/spammers years ago: 6-12 of them each day hanging by their ankles naked in Times Square (or some other central location), on international tv for the duration; crowd can go to town on them from a short distance with verbal & organic 'substance' abuse of choice (just no serious/major physical damage allowed). I think within 6 months the problem would be down to 5-10% of the volumes it is now. :)

Can you give us a URL/port for public access pls? ;)

I bemoan the days I stopped using Usenet...I think everything went downhill after that (& when they allowed non-plaintext email formats)...*sigh*.

It went out the door soon after "don't be apathetic".

Why couldn't they just shutdown Google+ & we can all go back to the good ol days...? :-/

TF? So does this mean my droid gReader 3rd party app will stop working July 1 as well? i.e. this is a Google complete back-end shutdown...?
'Currents' looks like a piss-poor replacement if I can't even get local top newspaper feeds...seriously Google??? :-/

Best 'pitfalls of cloning yourself' movie EVA! :)

FFS, do we even have anywhere near the reliable tech to send humans on a 6mth+ journey through space, with any hope in hell of getting there alive, much less landing in 1 piece, much less get back to earth (if that's even on the cards)...?

I thought he was going for pyrrhivacy, as in pyrrhic privacy :)

> I'm not surprised you post anonymously however.

But we all are that you don't. No really.

Whooshed by an AC! :)

Doesn't this pretty much sum up the state of the US economy right now...? ;)

Elitist...assholes...a 2-word review of EVE Online in a nutshell. Nothing else needs be said. No, really.

GW2 all the way FTW!!! (& a bit of POE this past week :).

Last I checked, Google hasn't apologised for jack shit, not should they. OTOH, Samsung is still waiting for a proper one from crApple...

So basically, you/they/crApple is sore that Safari security is weak as piss & worse than IE's? Gotcha.

But the Antiguans also belong to North America (via the Carribean/West Indies), so aren't they Americans too...?

No, that would be Star Wars 7.1, 7.2 & 7.3, with options on 7.4-7.9.
8 & 9 would be remakes/reboots of 7.1 & 7.2 respectively, with Lucas doing the scriptwriting from his geriatric bed.
Oh, the horror, the HORROOOOORRRRRRRRR!!!
