Currently I am not actually READING any books, I am writing them.
I have had one book published by CreateSpace for several years, but have been unable to promote it. Recently I went back to it and discovered a TON of errors, so I pulled it from publication, re-edited it, partially re-wrote it, and have now had it published on Amazon... I would appreciate some feedback on the story... https://www.amazon.com/dp/1720...
Yes this is true, it is possible for such a group to be betrayed.
However the likelyhood of that happening is slim, especially since there is that fine line of entrapment that the feds dare not cross (at least not yet).
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA, HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE, HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH, "COUGH" "WHEEZE"
**KEELS OVER DEAD FROM THE HEART ATTACK BROUGHT ON BY THE NOT-STOP LAUGHING**
Seriously, all they have done is make file-sharing less public. DC++, BitTorrent, etc will always be there in some form or another. The more they try to supress it the more it will happen.
I myself am a member of 3 invitation only file-share sites, hubs, etc., each provide me access to over 20 Tb of apps, games, movies, and music.
And let the RIAA read this and kiss my A$$, there is not one damned thing they can do about it.
I have a wild idea, how about we all comment on TFA instead of complaining about the new/. layout.
As for TFA... anything that can prevent the death of a soldier in combat is something I will support.

Considering the current backbone provider backlash against VOIP, Vonage (and others like them) could have a very short business life.
in any corporate environment we must all learn to keep our mouths shut.
i have lost more than one job for having the "wrong opinion, political view, etc".
You are either joking or stupid, seriously.
If I am calling overseas, unless the govt has firm evidence that I am breaking the law, they have no business listening to my calls.
My PRIVATE conversations are exactly that..PRIVATE.
The govt's "suspicions" that someone MIGHT POSSIBLY be potentially connected to someone that MIGHT POSSIBLY be potentially connected to a "terrorist" is not a good excuse to break the law.
He who refuses to learn (or fails to) from history is doomed to repeat it.
Hitler, Napoleon, Julius Ceasar, Stalin, the Kmer Ruge(sic) each used the "defense of the homeland (way of life, etc)" as the excuse for attrocities.
The USA without the proper checks and blances is tghe worst nightmare the world can have.
Imagine Nazi Germany with Nuclear Weapons.
add up all of the "national security" issues that have led to domestic spying, or issues such as this one, and we see a very disturbing trend.
anyone who is not VERY worried is ignorant of history.
I have often wanted a means to run 2 OS instances on one machine.
I, personally, would like a way to run FC5 and winXP simultaneously.
This definately seems like a step in the right direction.
I share 9500 songs, and 200+ movies and more than 500 GB of software daily on a private hub.
Yet the RIAA, BSA and MPAA have never come after me. They only go after those that are obviously illiterate with computers, that way they know these people can be scammed.
I dare them to try and sue me, they wouldn't get through step one.
In 20 years of working in IT or related fields I have always worked for the least technically competent managers, with the exception of ONE company.
invariably I have had to try to explain things to these manager just to have them decide that if they do not understand it... it isn't important.
I have even had a supervisor threaten to fire me if I performed any actions that he did not understand.
Time to impose sanctions, we cant have Microsoft being run out of foreign markets, it is unfair competition.
Opps I am sorry, I had a momentary bout of insanity there
" I especially have concerns about joseph smith his background."...?
More questions that can be raised by the bastard son of a hewbrew girl being reaised by a poverty stricken carpenter? Or several fishermen, tax collectors and other ne'erdowells?
Or a drunken, wife beating, pedophilic, Arab trader?
Just to remind you, the definition of CHRISTIAN is one that follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, therefore LDS (not lsd) are Christian.
So your ASSumption is, that I, a CONVERT to the LDS Church, am too stupid and ignorant, and otherwise brain dead to have researcched anything before joining?
And that YOU a non-member know more about LDS beliefs than the members do?
Thank your for the lesson, I will immediately abandon my belief system and go become a moralless pervert and start showing the same hatred of myself and others that you have so kindly expressed in this forum.
Tell me something, is it NORMAL for/.'ers to attack the fundamental beliefs and culture of over 10 million people?
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka MORMON, I take extreme offense at these false allegations and insults that are being SPEWED out here.
Perhaps you should make sure that you know what you are talking about before you start bashing someone?
Just an FYI, the LDS Church does not practice polygamy, only an offshoot organization, that is now based in Texas, does that.
Yahoo is doing SOMETHING about all the garbage in those chat rooms.
I have never been able to go into yahoo chats without being inundated by porn bots and other filth. Now id they would just find a way to end the bots life could be better
I am no fan of Microsoft, but having done support for them I know how whiny and unyeilding their customers can be.
they want a small app that will fit on a floppy, backwards compatibly with EVERYTHING, bug free out of the box, have perpetual support, and they want the damned thing to get up and dance a jig.
MS may be a monopolistic greedy bloodsucker, but they do not deserve all the bashing they get for the software they actually design themselves
As a tech support agent that works to remove this crap from the machines of those brave enough to call me, I have to hate these bastards with a virulence that borders on psychotic.
But I also have to thank them for the job security, afer all if they did not do this I would be uneeded and would have to go get a real job.
OK people, pay attention and learn something
There have been tech advances in the 20 years since the "end" of eps 3 and the start of 4
Obi-Wan did not "recognize" R2D2 because he was not supposed to let on what had been happening, obviously he had been training himself to hide from Vader.
Uncle Owen did not recognize C3PO because threepio did not have coverings when he was on that farm previously. In additon there are probably MILLIONS of similar protocol droids, recall the one that threepio ran into on Bespin?
Vader walked like "frankenstein" because he was 1) in pain, 2) using new prostheses 3) probably having problems breathing
He shouted NNNOOOOO!!!! because he went through everything he did in order to SAVE his wife and yet he has been told HE killed her. Would eny of you done differently?
AND FINALLY>>>> you people need to quit trying to apply EARTH and HUMAN values and concepts to what is supposed to be an ALIEN and NON_TERRAN society, these people were not meant to think like you and me, their culture is considerably different than the USofA

when all you get is a CGI error. But the idea of converting any system into a "walltop" would have a few decent uses in my book.

Anyone that has followed the vote results in Ohio knows that this is possible and has happened. The new lesson is: how to steal an american election.
Nothing like a good flame war. Does anyone else wonder if this thing was sponsored by Microsoft, or maybe SCO?
