    They bought it, they can bury it. Just because someone is trashing something doesn't give you the right to steal it from them claiming you'll use it better.

    "Define monitoring people."
    In this sense I'd say monitoring is then tracking the activity of that IP address unrelated to the specific torrent that was just then downloaded.

  6. Re:This is why I stopped torrenting on Most Torrent Downloaders Are Monitored, Study Finds · · Score: 1

    You must make a distinction, there are different ways one can torrent things. Some ways are less secure that others... if you say just want to use some public tracker from your home pc, then sure, that's not very safe. If you want to say... have a seedbox hosted in a non MPAA, RIAA friendly country and pay that account with untraceable bitcoins using a fake email account you set up over a VPN and then only use private trackers and use SFTP to bring everything back to your home machine I'd say you're safer than even doing what you're suggesting as even your friend can rat you out or your wifi could be monitored.

    The list of top 100 would of course change over time.. the torrents are monitored not the people downloading. Likely they're recorded. Monitoring people is a whole other story.

    I think you're wrong about most people doing this to avoid gun laws. Most people wanting to avoid gun laws don't have 1000's of dollars to spare and the time to spend on this, it's much easier to attain a firearm through other means.

    I think a lot of people are interested in this because it's potentially taking power away from government regulation and handing it back to the people.

    Sounds like a nice idea but I think you'll find along with that fancy video card you'll also need an additional power supply and still be limited to your laptop screen?

    I don't see that happening, the price of this "dock" which holds a video card, power supply and ports is going to pricey. External video card would also require some very nice connector, thunderbolt or something like that.. and still quite a distance to travel from the cpu and system ram.

    " Desktops are dying anyway, almost everyone has moved to laptops."

    as a gamer I went this route.. once.. bought a pricey gaming laptop... too hot, always had to change thermal paste, didn't keep up well with the games. I gave up and built out a new desktop.

    As long as thermal issues remain in computing and vendors refuse to standardize and allow upgrading of laptop components desktops sized computing will not die.

    Simple story and the kicker is there isn't a human mentioned in the book. It's from the perspective of an alien race fighting an alien race. Great way in my opinion to get a child to take another look at the world.

    Very very true. You know they made a lot off of those trades, everyone was into it. If this guy likely had some authorization since this profitabel trade sprang up on short notice.

  25. FFXIV Negative reaction and Squares response on Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced · · Score: 1

    I've long been a Final Fantasy fan since FFI, FXIII was a pretty major dissapointment for me but I held out hope for XIV, I enjoyed XI... what a bomb.. the only thing that gives me hope is Squares repsonse to the XIV failure. They've dropped the subscription fee and said they won't charge until they're satisfied with how the game is, they dumped the old team and brought in new, from development to management. I think Square has invested into a story that theyr'e happy with and are dissapointed once again with how XIII came out. Hopefully they're putting a new team together, as they are with XIV to make things right for the fans.
