TPB doesn't work like a traditional website. It's more like a darknet site made accessible through a number of public portals. It seems like the "portal" for the US and some surrounding areas was taken down, it was available in other areas and the proxies still worked.
Makes sense. Corporations don't give a fuck about the environment, why would they? They can't tell their shareholders at the next quarterly meeting that their running costs went up to reduce damage to the planet so that the weather won't be so bad long after every old fart in the room is dead, they'd throw a shit-fit. Only the most high-profile and image-sensitive companies that have shit-tons of extra money to throw around have any incentive to give a shit. BlahCorp manufacturing that builds obscure widgets in the industrial park? Not so much.
Only 25% more? Not bad. To me it would be worth it just so I can tell the anti-environmentalists on Slashdot who tell me to turn off my computer "Actually this computer runs on 100% renewable energy. Maybe you should turn YOURS off. *smugface* "
Not that I sympathize with this slimy tax-dodger, but I hope he gets away with it.
The value of his demonstration on how the rich view the world is worth more to the world (and the American public) than the taxes he owes. I don't want that demonstration stopped.
Brown people blood doesn't cost America any money, and what's the cost of a few dead soldiers here and there and the occasional PATRIOT Act compared to the creeping terror of RANGE ANXIETY? The existential threat of NUCLEAR POWER? The horrific, gut-wrenching sight of WIND FARMS AND SOLAR POWER PLANTS!?
Driving big V8-powered SUVs made of melted-down action men to work every day is what makes America great dammit.
I was wondering if he would replicate the firing mechanism shown in the game, where bullets are loaded from a hopper and shot out using an electric firing mechanism (no powder required). Now that would be impressive.

I wrote a basic Quicken-like tax app in high school, I should have been an MIT shoe-in with a full scholarship!
Don't forget, the Tea Party is regularly filled with loads of hot sticky Koch juice...
If he was really so intelligent it also could have lead to a Randian god complex...
But didn't renounce his citizenship until he was about to receive an astronomical windfall profit...how curious.
Gimme the TL;DR version. Motorcycle accident? Brain cancer? Aneurysm?

AnonNyre says "Tango Down" which is The Jester's catchphrase. Motivation lines up too, anti-Wikileaks and anti-Anonymous.

I had no idea. Every one I've ever used takes about half a second to warm up and then is on at full brightness, like a new flourescent tube.
One social network will always have the lion's share, the exclusivity ensures it. The only question is which one.

OH NOES you have to wait half a second for the light to come on? TEH HORROR!!!
Whose data do we have to read to "know its fake?" Time Cube Guy's?
The torrents will still work fine, they'll just be a bit inconvenient to browse.
I had lols XD
Maybe there are more trolls in the firehose than Slashdotters and they're controlling the lulz supply at the source.

I don't blame you.
He's incompetent or evil. Bottom line is he fucked up the company real bad.
Came here to say this. Elop should have won this, hands-down. Ballmer isn't in the same league of incompetence.
Ding ding ding! Winner!
Iceweasel is really just a rebranding, technically it's a fork but the code is identical to Firefox.
Don't forget engine components first and foremost.
