No mod points, so I will have to reply stating that this is a pretty interesting point.

Not sure if you are just pointing out that you hacked that together or not...but this isn't over the air radio either.

BitchX bitches!

It is going after bittorrent. Most people who are downloading movies and TV shows aren't going to be able to find another way if they can kill the torrents. Well, until the next thing comes along.

Those are the same people that are most likely scared away when they hear about this, or when they get caught the first time. My mother, who knows nothing about computers and does not care to learn, told me to "be careful downloading movies, because they are cracking down on that".

I guess it depends what field you are in...or maybe just where you happen to work. The Sysadmins here are all complete 100% windows guys. They couldn't get a job in any other environment. Some of the employees are windows only at work people...but the infrastructure guys are all windows only. It has been this way at the last couple places I have worked. I haven't changed companies in a while, however.

not nearly as bad as me wondering why they filmed the helicopter and not the volcanoes for around 2 minutes before I realized you can move the camera.

Computers are my forte.

While I am sure the parent was kidding...I have a friend who is only moderately stupid that firmly believes that the moon landings were faked. I found this a couple weeks ago, an interesting point of view.

We would have faked it...but actually doing it was easier at the time.

Counterstrike is usually in the top 5 of current users on steam. It's number 2 at the moment.I type this. I don't mean global offensive, or source. I mean the halflife mod. There are a shocking number of people that find a game they like and never stop playing it. Never need to upgrade until something you can't replace anymore breaks.

I quit playing dota2 early on because I couldn't stand the people that play it, but I don't recall that it would really need anything special to run, Football manager is probably the 2nd most played steam game, that will run on nothing. Tf2 will run just fine on old machines with the graphics turned down. You don't need a killer rig to play the most popular steam games.

Same boat. Got my 920 in early 09...got an extra 5870 about a year later because it was good price. I looked into a complete new build a few months ago and just couldn't justify it. I have the money, I just don't need it. Funny to think back on all those years my computer was usually 50% borrowed/gifted old parts and I would build machines at newegg that I didn't have the money for.

It doesn't bother me that they would make fun of that type of person...it is just how they do it. But...if they really wrote those characters to be the hard core geeks they are supposed to be, nobody would watch the show. I still leave it on sometimes, but I got sick of it really quickly from starting off watching it all the time.

Family guy is terrible....we just all (myself included) don't realize it yet.

Or get a Dominican, Honduran, or Nicaraguan cigar that is just as good. Aficionado's can argue this point. I smoke about 5 a year...I can't tell the difference and most other people probably can't either.

I had this exact same problem with radeon drivers and Win7.

Yes.

I understand the point you are making...but easily limit options for E? I am not sure if that is possible at all, much less easy.

A hacker is someone who isn't particularly good at golf. A cracker is...who you calling a cracker motherfucker?
