  1. first rule about fight club on Demonoid Shut By Ukrainian Authorities · · Score: 1

    if you keep saying that they will notice it and kill it to, as an afterthought mind you but they will do it. Usenet would be fairly easy to kill due to it not being as distributed as p2p, i mean i cant fire up google in a tor browser type a hash of my download find 50 usenet groups with the and add them to my peer finding pool like i can with torrents.

    what we need is free usenet server system living in a .onion or a torent over tor system

    It may be huge and cost tons but they also a have a even more gigantic user pool paying them at insane amount per month. They can afford it they would just have to spend money. And who wants to do that when they can at a fraction of the price buy all the congressmen they could want, to let them out of servicing their customers.

    Yes but iphone was first to market. And while true android has more activations per month, iphone is more visible due there being only one model of iphone (not counting harddrive size) per yea,r so is much more noticeable when compared to the billions of android models with ten users each.

    Exsept the overthrone governments have been going to the same type of extremist leadership Iran already has. The extremist muslum groups love the Internet they love socalnetworking sites like twitter and facebook. But once they have the power they will disconnect their new country from them to keep stop people from using them the same as they already did.

    Except that there is a movement in the debian community to try and become a fsf approved distro. I find it slightly hypocritical that they will refuse to approve of distros that merely have a none-free section even if it is turned off by default. Is that not in and of itself in interference and inhibiting the freedom of the user to install what ever software they like?

    You sound like you have not read much if any of the new testament. You know the whole "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" or "love thy neighboor as thy self" or "ask ye oh man what is good and what does the lord require of the but to do justly love mercy and walk humbly with thy god." Sound fairly peacefull. I don't see any excuse for being terrible toward others. The being terrible to others comes from human nature.

  17. Re:Grub replacement. on UEFI Secure Boot and Linux: Where Things Stand · · Score: 2

    um, grub is a bootloader not an operating system, and windows 8 is a operating system (the operating part is disputable) not a bootloader. the windows bootloader can't boot any operating systems other than other versions of windows. your comment does not make any since.

    Yes because one gaming company decides it doesn't like windows and makes a Linux port. It must mean that it is an industry change.

    well EA has some games in the ubuntu software center, blizzard has said window 8 sucks and is considering porting, and valve is porting, those are the big movers in gaming it is not just one company it is the whole industry.
