For a minute there, I thought you were talking about me...

Evidently, there's also not enough spellcheck programs to help you, either.

I own a "dumb" phone. I also own three desktop computers and a laptop. I figure the primary use for any cell phone is to make calls, and if I need to make sure I'm connected to the Internet while I'm away from home, I have either my laptop or any other number of possibilities (i.e., local library, Internet cafe, friends' computers, etc.) to get connected. I use my cell phone to make calls, because that's what it's primary use is.

But not as impressive as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0_nuvPKIi8

I still need to finish watching season 5 of "Sliders".

Considering the two sites mentioned in the synopsis, the first thing I thought of was that these were sites that were supposedly no longer listing copyrighted materials. So the question to me then became, "Is there copyrighted material being shared under fake, non-copyrighted names? If I download 'Nasty.Old.People_2009_TS3.dvd.iso', am I really getting the Creative Commons-licensed movie, or am I getting 'Toy Story 3' because I read on some hacker site that the fake name is just a way to distribute the copyrighted movie?"

Why don't we all ask VH1 how this idea worked out for them?

I think, perhaps, that you may be the exception instead of the rule. I checked my router's MAC address and the response was a town northwest of Seattle (I live in southeast Wisconsin). Chances are that many of the results will be the router's origin: the manufacturing site.

I'm not sure your math is correct. Just because Apple says that 95% of apps get approved within one week doesn't specifically mean that it's 95% of all the apps submitted. As far as I can tell, the only fact that statement shows is that 95% of all the approved apps are approved within one week; the number of approved apps could be 25%, 50%, 75%, or even 99% of the submitted apps.

It's easy to be the best at these things when you're playing catch-up to everyone else.

Hello, pot; it's me, kettle!

I download a lot of 720/1080p videos, and I also seed a lot of pirated video. I have run out of slots to put in hard drives across two computers. I need (read: need to upkeep my ratio) my files at all times (over a network is fine), especially since I mirror TPB, what I've got on the Beowulf cluster. I don't want to have the MPAA beating down my door, I want all hard drives available all the time to anyone connected to the Internet. I'm assuming that, since it's copyrighted material, I won't need more than three lawyers to defend me and thus I'm hoping a solution exists that can be easily disposed of and/or hidden away from the authorities and still keep somewhat untraceable. So Slashdot, what have you done? Fixed that for ya.
