I'd love it if folks could discuss politics without getting idiotic about it but it simply doesn't happen.

Keep up the good work ^^

To get back on topic,how long has The Pirate Bay been down?
Should take acouple months for the sized items to return to the sever,but a mirror site should pop at any time right?

---

piratebay was only offline for only a day or two, Afterdawn posted a couple differnt news threads on these issues.Check them out there is alot for info in them.


Ps. ZIppyDSM, search this site for Windows Vister It aint lookin good at all. It allmost looks like they got togather with the M.A.F.I.A.A as you put it in your sig. lol

Well if your planning on d/l music/games/movies then don't waste your money! Vista will make you pay for everything you download to make them work!

Sorry I also went a little off topic

---

SO what does *** stand for hmmm? Go to a library?? yeah ok buddy I live in the damn country so I think I would know what I'm talking about so stick to what you know (a bottle of lotion and porn sites) Anyways as to Nephilim I wasnt trying to start any political arguments and what not I was just stating a fact as to why they should all come to Canada and giving what I think is one of the reasons why that we are so easy going when it comes to that issue thats all.

My Bad they settled the dispute in April, so I guess i was still right NINVIN21 so I guess your going to have to slip a couple more bucks to "the wizard" to get a brain to go along with the heart :P

here's the link

Heh, you're absolutely right to stop the politics, Nephilim, even if you came down hard. If that's what it takes! We could have a nice jolly old political debate here and there be no problems, but when does THAT ever happen? Come on. If there's no more to discuss, comb the other forums.

About Vista, fortunately anyone with:
X2 4200+
X2 4400+
X2 4600+
X2 4800+
X2 5000+
X2 5200+ / FX-60
X2 FX-62
Is fine because then they can run the AMD Live media system, basically the Windows Live bits, all with the DRM stripped off and all free to AMD X2 users!
Vista also advertises being a new gaming platform because of "reduced loading times since games don't need installing"
So how does that work then geniuses? Load the game off the 20MB/s DVD rather than the 60MB/s Hard Drive? They only need to do this because there's no room left on your HDD for games because Vista is so sodding big. It may be a mere 15GB install, but early beta versions accrue undeleted temp files that within a week racked up 70GB. Sort it out Bill!

*L*
I know its so sad I might as well remove the vister comment altogather,freedom and corpate rule do not go hand in hand.
Beside the lock down on video,I bet Audio and even pictures wont be far behind....

sammorris
frankly I dont know why they are handicaping vista so much,hell I'd be happy with a more complable hardware wise XP,vista is just a pain the price shcemes seem ok but shit handicaping the OS to the point where its a bloated game machine with surfing abilty...oy vay ><

@In_Chains,Canada is a bunch of cry babys. Do you know how much money the USA gives away to retarded places almost every day?

why should anyone move there? when there not doing anything wrong.

As for money the USA makes it all day long it aint worth anything what do we care, Are president is the most hated one ever.

You said the USA owes canada money well What does that have to do with anything in this thread go tell someone who cares.
by the way how many terrorists are you guys harboring up there yet.

As for vista Its only beta but im still scared to touch it.
I read every thread on it and I dont no,

NINVIN21
Canada is not so bad,at least there not anal on pot and some other thigns but they are just as likly to roll over and fetch for coperations as any goverment

http://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/schmeiser.cfm

Bascily a corpate farm moves next door to a bunch of farmers and its monster palnt polanates near by fields and the corperation get to sue and take land crushing a 10+ year old family seed bissness....

Please guys as we've already discussed. No politics. Take it elsewhere.
IMHO Vista offers too little for the steep increase in system requirements. You can get relatively good performance in XP with an old 2Ghz CPU and 384MB RAM, whereas for Vista I wouldn't recommend anything below an Athlon64 3200+ and 1GB of RAM.

I am not takeing politices but the sillyness of soem goverments.

I have gotten XP to work on a ADM 450Mhz K6 with 128 of ramm
It was slow like Win 3X on a 386 slow,but it ran good enough for basic PCing *L*

Recntly I installed XP SP 2 on a 1.4 P4 512MB 166Mhz rambus Gateway with a BFG OC 6600 AGP card ,it hits about 1989 in 3dMark whitch makes it bad for anyhtign game wise in the past 5 years but its not for gameing mostly older cad progras and light gameing like Warcraft 2-3,star scraft ,ect,the 3d performacne might be icky but it runs good for everythign else.

XP is a decent oS they would have been better off perfecting it and expanding the driver base,hell I wouldnt mind a ME like verion XP that would be nice but not with XPs SP2 setup on it god that SP2 is horried ><

---

#1 The reason I said they should move there is because we are protected against retarded laws and cant be sued for downloading music, movies, ect. #2 As for harbouring terrorists your country has the biggest one (George W. Bush) #3 What it had to do with the thread was that I was stating that it was one of the possible reasons why we dont let the R.I.A.A,and other organizations sue or citizens. #4Last but not least, I'd rather be a cry baby than a huckleberry redneck goof and if you wish to continue this start a new thread based on the subject matter so we can stop bothering the people who are discussing the topic of this thread.

In_Chains
and on the other hand the goverment at any tiem can ban violant video games or pron like Austrila has,or pull back certain rights like russia,its not prefect but in all its far from bad,the US is realy f'd up but meh its home untill they us poor out *L*

---

I'd say that's still politics!

---

sammorris
yup it seems I fell into the gutter :P

---

Yep well. Any more topical thoughts?

---

Talk about getting off topic. Wasent the article about ThePirateBay.org?

Yeah. Glad to see they're back, if with a primitive interface. I don't mind it though, very googley.

Pirate Bay is great but I can´t understand Afterdawn advertising LiveDVD Inc. LiveDVD Inc is nothing but as rip off.You pay 19 bucks for them to show you where to download Films,Pics,Music ect.Including Pirate Bay.
Whats going on Afterdawn??

Sweetooth

I got caught by one of those scams a while back, Downloadshield. Now I know better.

The ads are supplied by google, we have no control over what's advertised.

...and there's your answer!

Anyone know if usernet is worth it at 13ish a month?
do they realy limit files by types (moive,mp3,pic,other) or just limit monthly band width ?

I use Usenext, and although the speeds are impressive (600-700KB/s on my connection, that's about max) the selection of files isn't all that and you have to check every multiple part archive to see if all the rars are there, countless times i've downloaded stuff that's missing .r13 or something. I wouldn't say there's a great deal on there you can't find elsewhere tbh.

sammorris
pretty much what I thought,I have used Newsgroups on and off thruutmy time on the net they are rather....annoying ,if someone built a program that would hunt forall parts of a file and other thigns then it might improve but its like BT with little to no seeds and a ton of peers with with 70% of the file...and for a pay serivce thats a nono.

One thing about piratebay I dont get is the recent torrents link on the homepage Whats that for? There is tons and tons of torrents with no seeds or completed DL,

And whats really the point of the I'm felling lucky search button?

and when you go into top 100 its the same as browse torrents but there is a top 100 link there,cant they link stright into the 100?

I wanna add I love the top 100 This is the only site I seen that has this well another one has top 20,

I Also love that that you can leave comments

one more thing people like to donate by buying tee-shirts,
Where can you find piratebay shirts?
the shirts on jinx.com, Does jinx take a % from the companys when You buy from them or what How does that work?

I dont think piratebay is back to the norm yet, there seems to be missing torrents or theres just a lack of them.
