Ah, I don't know if this is what you mean but this is what I thought of:
As there is a patch for IE to make it work with internationalized domain names, then EVILware makers could include this patch and then direct you to www.ebay.com which is actually EVILwares site! Intriguing idea sir.
It works for me, but that's because the distribution network is just that, a network. I'm on a different server. So, if you can, use the coral cached link, because there's a good chance it'll work. If not, oh well.
I can't see how "TOR" is a good idea. Remember bellster? Noone wanted to do it because it'd go through their home phone and be linked to them. With "TOR", the illegal actions come from various people, but while only one illegal page/image is delivered to one node in the tor network before being passed along, that node may be 'identified' to a honeypot or something.
I don't really know where I was going with this, except that TOR is bad like Bellster if people wanted to do bad things with your connection, thats all.
This is incredibly true. I had to sign up for livejournal (try everything once) and their captcha is damn near impossible to read properly. So I use the audio captcha and this bot with reverb set to max tells me the letters. It's a lot easier than seeing their terrible captcha though.
I got a month of 3mbit (well, if i were to use it constantly, by my lame isps rules, 1/4th month at 3mbit and 3/4th month at 1.5mbit, as they have weird download speed cap rules) for about USD$45 a month. A little less, as its part of a package, but we're still getting 'screwed' by american standards. At least there's always austrailia to look down on.
Post that on a subpage of your website and it'll get picked up by all the major newssites as firefox taking more market share, earning your company more publicity and effectively being duped about 5 times. Firefox fans will send it to all their friends.
Make sure you've got google ads etc on the page because you're sure to rake in the cash thanks to the fanboys.
And this is serious. Post it. Look at the results on google for WebSideStory Firefox.

Get that Cappuccino, the new system is $455 (BYO HD) and the refurb is $379 (BYO HD). If you want the refurb with20GB 2.5" Ultra DMA 33/66 4200RPM Hard Drive, it's $478. Both these prices include a "dos system", meaning "Install your own OS".
I read that thing, the first 4 pages, skimmed the rest. He was arrested because he refused to sign a citation for receiving his speeding ticket. He was arrested, therefore, for speeding. He did have an altoids container (as well as some other candies) in a little bag which he put in the glove compartment, and did not want to open it. The fact that this guy was a total idiot and wouldn't just sign the citation and instead try to injure the officer with his window has absolutely nothing to do with the altoids box, except for the fact that the altoids box was in the bag.
I was going to post that but you did already. Thanks to whoever posted that generator a while back when I grabbed it, it now lives in my bookmarks toolbar. What a great thing!
You paying customers are getting screwed by the companies themselves. Even before it was as "rampant" as it is claimed to be today, they were building in copy-protection techniques, which made it harder for the paying customer to use their media their way. This is even truer now, with cds like "Break the Cycle" (classic example cd) unable to work on many players.
The leisure corporations are conducting, in fact, a war not against pirates, but on their own customers. For many years now, honest consumers paying full price for legitimate products have been saddled with crippled, inferior versions of what the pirate users get for free:
- Pirate users don't have to keep their precious PC game discs spinning endlessly and noisily in the drive (and being subjected to repeated handling) while they play the game.
- Pirate users don't have to sit through all those infuriatingly long, unskippable splash screens / trailers / adverts before they can watch the actual movie on their new DVD, while the poor saps who paid for it in a shop do.
- Pirate users don't get their brand-new music CD home only to find that it won't play in their computer because it's been made in a non-standard-compliant "anti-piracy" format which prevents legitimate users from legally listening to music they've paid for.
- Pirate users can use their game consoles to play games originating from any country, while legitimate purchasers of, say, a game from Japan will be unable to play it on their legitimate, but UK-bought, Playstation 2.
- Pirate users don't have to uninstall perfectly legal software applications from their PCs, or put up with the secret installation of damaging programs if they want to play their new games, unlike the unfortunate legitimate consumers.
And so on. But astoundingly, the entertainment business still doesn't think it's made life miserable enough for its honest, paying customers.
Found that nice link in NTK for Sept. 9, 2003. I'd say that as a customer, you're getting screwed over. I'm not saying don't buy what you want, please do, but I'm saying it should also be ok for you to download a "Pirated" version so that you get to use the media your way instead of theirs. No-CD Cracks should be fine, but companies are now making your $50 product useless for using them. Sad, I think.
I wasn't trolling, that was my experience with the client. I was just 'demoing' it out and found out it was worthless. I'm not terribly interested in checking out the "full" version to "publish" them, especially because their website says this is pretty much the same as the downloaders version (see the section on the front page entitled "Why use Blog Torrent on your blog or website?").
Why not just learn from blizzard and use a technique like the blizzard downloader, an all in one stand-alone exe which doens't need installation and does its job well?
They like to state that "most people don't have a client installed", so their blog torrent installs the original BT, lets it steal all.torrent associations, and then uses it's installation to download the file. This will screw up all your associations if you already have it, and their plan does NOT include seperately hosting the.torrent for those of us who have a favorite. Thanks, merry bloggers, you've been retarded yet again.
Oh yeah, and I love your site, downhillbattle? You want to spread awareness about DMCA abusage yet prefer to do it through clothes than provide ANY buttons, thus killing your one market, the geeks who are actually worried about this stuff. Ineffectuality, you have a new poster child.
There's nothing in there pointing it away from google. Many people have been hoping for a Google messenger to go along with gmail, or at least one googlefanatic friend of mine seems to think so. Frankly I'd want to see some good encryption techniques (256bit, just like https://gmail.google.com is) in this messenger built in, default. Of course it'd be nice to change it if you wanted to.
They did not unlock the multiplayer code. The multiplayer code is simply not usable.
Having been with the team way back when 0.1 was released (and barely worked) and I saw the post on BetaNews, I was in their IRC channel to learn things. It was all so ghetto back then. It just controlled 'lastcar' so your last car driven would then become owned by otherplayer.

Finally, a post I can respond to and not be off topic.
:-/
I did some Google Math(tm) and got some results:
500 (GB / month) = 1.55756616 Mb / s
Or, if you were to download at a constant 1.55, you could hit your cap in a month, and not before.
(500 (GB / month)) / (8 (Mb / s)) = 0.19469577
I think that may be, it would take 0.1949577 months (0.19469577 months = 5.92592593 days) to hit your cap.
So you got 5 days of 8mbits, oh wow, so lucky.
I got a month of 3mbit (well, if i were to use it constantly, by my lame isps rules, 1/4th month at 3mbit and 3/4th month at 1.5mbit, as they have weird download speed cap rules) for about USD$45 a month.

You sir, are a terrible troll.
A waiting list to receive something they don't plan on sending you? That's what it sounds like to me, anyway.

I highly reccomend a read of The hard-to-find truth about piracy, which includes excellent parts such as:

The court's didn't buy it in the 80's and should buy it now...
With the way things are going now, this typo may be very real.
what will google do about gmail then? i doubt they want to remake it.
funny how casino rules aren't the law, but mpaa/riaa/gnaa says something and it somehow becomes the law.
oh, america.
Ever heard of BnetD then sir?

Will it too feature annoying Vonage ads on the top, side, and bottom of the client?

The rest of your post is right though.
I doubt the men in suits will be very pleased that you've been recording their activites.
There's probably something in the PATRIOT ACT reguarding this.
If you knew what I looked like, You probably wouldn't be scared.
I'm not kidding.
