  1. June 2009 on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 1

    June 2009 - to be remembered as the worst month ever: First Ed McMahon dies, then Farrah Fawcett, which lead into Micheal Jackson and BILLY MAYS' death.. Now just before the end of the month we add The Pirate Bay to the list and you all have now witnessed the worst June in history. I for one am not liking this. You shouldn't either.

    Boo to AVG.. as a webmaster / server admin, I have to say how dare you! That is MY bandwidth you are eating up there.. pay me for it or stop it, NOW!

    We've been using this, as well, on our bigger (and more popular) sites for a day now.. so far I've noticed a decrease in server load and those quick 1-2 sec hits that jack up Apache handlers making them unavailable for our real users.
