The logistics here don't seem to have been planned out at all.  To break it down: Power: Your parents would be pissed to see their electric bill with that gear running.  Even if you live on your own, the electric costs would be far more than you could make from trying to sell out the gear...

That was fairly insulting.

You mean people still use Nokia? >_> In all seriousness though.. that one's been coming for awhile.  Not quite the same circumstances, either.

Pretty much, aye.  I remember them from back when Geocities was still relevant to the web. </oldman>

I see "Image Hosted by Tripod", and the first thought that comes to mind is "Those people are still around?"

Heh.  Yeah, copyrightsettlements.com is basically one of those shady DNSBLs that make you pay to get unlisted, except they're for torrents instead of mail.  I tried contacted them a few times, and each time was just some jackass threatening that we'd face "intense legal action" unless we paid...

If the provider didn't even forward the DMCA to you, then they're not worth trusting to begin with IMO.  Any 'host' that's willing to jump the gun without even hearing the client's side of things is a bit shady to begin with. There are spam-DMCA 'services' out there (copyrightsettlements.com...

We 'allow' torrenting because we realize there are a vast number of practical, legal uses.  We do enforce DMCA - I just happen to be a bit more brushed up on the actual laws involved, and don't go on a termination spree every time I get some half-assed email DMCA sent by "a friend representing...

I gave the tablet thing a try (TF300T with keyboard dock) - while the slimness and how light it was made it very easy to port around, at the end of the day I found myself missing a pure Debian install.  Tablets and chromebooks are decent enough for faffing about, but I couldn't work productively...

Wrong holiday, but still relevant enough for a chuckle:

Honestly, I see no reason to limit editing.  The only 'abuse' of that has been Jack, and that was only to quickly try and recover from the reputation hit after folks pointed out just how unethical he was acting.  I see no reason to hamstring everyone else for something he's already taken his...

Considering that before all this went down, they frequently used exec($_POST[]), the only joke is that they are still getting people to pay them.

Not to be rude - but you even admitted "AFAIK" here.  You're pretty much relying on what you've been told by your employer, who already has a STAGGERING track record for lies and deceit. Well, when that whole mess first started, you had two very young UK kids running companies that were deeply...

Above are three quips from the post I linked to, each of which could answer the question on their own without further context. 

Out of curiosity, is there any reason you only read the last couple posts of an in-depth thread and then ask obvious questions which have already been answered?

I always felt that was the underlying lesson of the game.  Not that repeating information would necessarily change it (if this were the case, society as a whole would've never made it to, let alone past, the middle ages) - but that in any situation of cooperation and trust, there will always be...

Take a few to read instead of asking for the tl;dr.  Having a half-assed understanding of a situation is where assumptions and (inevitably) annoying and time-consuming corrections originate.  Ever play that game where one person whispers a phrase to another, down the chain, and by the time it...

Mhmm, our grievances are aligned - the shameless dishonesty.  Pretty soon we'll need to change that `Fran Lied` meme to `Jon lied`.. although it's admittedly more frustrating than funny.

Hell boss, you just summarized my opinions of them in three words.  Coulda saved me a good bit of writing had you said that earlier >_>

To be honest, those are lower numbers than I was expecting to see - given how often this is talked about, I figured it would be something like 70-85%.  On the fair approach though, I'm still of the firm belief that LET was fast becoming a shithole  right when Joel took over - I was never really...
