IsoHunt is just a site that indexes multiple torrent trackers. I spend quite a bit of time on Demonoid.com, which is members-only and used to be invite only. That's the kind of model I'm thinking of.

You would use my tracker to host the .torrent file you create. The upstream bandwidth would be your own to give up. I'll have to look into actually doing this.

13 Episodes. 1 movie. 66 pages of a comic book that happens chronologically in between. It shows Shepard Book being taken to that planet and deals with the fate of the guys with blue gloves, among other things. Whedon has said that there are no plans for right now to continue Firefly. However...

More realistically, I could probably stick it behind .htaccess and hand out logins as needed. That's a decent start IMO.

It is if we don't tell anyone about it. :)

VMWare ESX is I'd very much like to play with. I hear the performance gain is astonishing, and I'm doing a lot with the freebie version already.

Completely off the subject, but I just saw that there are three videos on one of the more... interesting torrent sites I frequent that are titled: "World of Whorecraft" And judging by the screenshots, I think I found someone I can look down on even more than tentacle-loving hentai freaks. It...

Maybe I could set up a private torrent tracker?

I still think Starforce is worse. My default position for PC games is now "Buy the boxed copy if I really like it, but play the pirate/cracked version." They're doing everything they can to ruin gaming on PCs. It's really just that simple.

As someone who leaves firefox open pretty much constantly between version upgrades without any difficulties, Allpeers has had a decidedly negative effect on my browser's stability. I still have it installed on one PC, but between the UI and the occasional crash, I don't think it's something I'd...

What is wrong with me that I think this will be a very amusing photograph?

Sol, I've found that the Omega drivers for weirdo laptop versions of graphics chips usually enable those features.

There can be only one.

Just thought I'd note that Newegg.com has Lite-On SATA optical drives. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. No burners as of yet, but since they're the first SATA optical drives I've noticed from a non-Plextor source, I thought it might be worth a post. Link

Gilbo, PM me and we'll work on that soundtrack thing. ;)

In what horrid, post apocalyptic world do you live in that Battlestar Galactica is "boring?" Oh. Australia. Sooo... How are Mad Max and Master Blaster these days?

I'm doing a very similar system for my own amusement. I'm using a 939-4800, an x1600 - I want multiple video outs - and only *one* 750GB drive. ;)

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Complete Score will be released November 7th. The Fellowship of the Ring complete score is amazing. Can't wait for the new one. Also: Bear McCreary's scores for the (modern) Battlestar Galactica are extremely cool. Seriously. I've been buying the soundtracks...

I did. The fundie bitch that manages the Waldenbooks in my local mall makes me show ID to buy a Playboy "Book of Lingerie", something I do every month. She says its company policy. I say she's a fundie bitch, and I actually called Waldenbooks' Corporate offices about it just to be sure...

This weekend I found out that re-shelving bibles and books of mormon to the fiction section is a good way to get kicked out of a Waldenbooks.

Sting, the guy whom I remember from the movie version of Dune and everyone else remembers as an 80s rock star, has released an album of Elizabethan Madrigals. WTF?!? It sounds like he's doing it for serious/non-ironic reasons. Which already makes it better than anything Paul "I have no talent...

They all look the same to me. Even the ones in the last couple HPs I had open.

I recommend discrimination against republicans.

I've also seen Matrox cards do that. Never any other brand, oddly enough, but I've seen a G100 and a G400 do it. Matrox let me send back the cards both times. IIRC I got a G200 for the G100, even.

Oh wait, it gets better. Note that this is the first and only time that "better" will be used in the context of any discussion on the subject of Vista.

There was snow in northwest Indiana on Wednesday.

I'm not an exercise kind of guy. I don't even like the idea on a conceptual level. I'll even go so far as to say that I have a mental block against spelling the word "exercise" correctly. Usually it takes a minute or two to play with the c's and s's and z's and x's until it looks right. I don't...

Those are buttons?

I'd like to report some abuse...

That's a good and bad thing. I love computers too much to give up on them as a career, but the writing is on the wall for those not in corporate IT. Retail's rough. It's hard to justify service work. Programming is largely done overseas... Your statement here is just a sad commentary on the...

Er, have you spoken to a dermatologist about that?

Continuing the woot/MSI story, woot.com upped the warranty on the card to two years from 90 days and has reached an agreement with MSI to remove their name from the press release about stolen video cards. Also, if you scroll upward from that link, you'll see that a statistically large number of...

Iggy Pop's (who?) concert rider reads like it was written by Tannin in one of his funnier moods.

How many do you need? I'm pretty sure I can find a couple dozen.

I am not tired of curing any ignorance of how awful WD is. However, lately, you guys have been doing it for me. Western Digital, the Mark Foley of the hard disk industry. Everyone feel better now?

0wned. The republicow actually looks like she's going to cry at one point.

Proper thumb drives, good ones, have a read-only switch. The 4GB pqi model I've been using certainly does. Hijack This WILL make a backup folder whereever you use it. My basic plan, however, is a tiny batch file that copies it and copy of other programs to c:\program files\bin (the other...

For what it's worth, Sol, "Call of Cthulhu" is based on a pen and paper game of the same name. A lot of the game elements, like fear and losing sanity, seem to stem from that. The fun of the pen and paper game was in the fact that mere mortals could in no way stand with even footing with the...

My best score is 117 I'm trading someone a 4 drive DVD duplicator for an Xbox360 so I can play Dead Rising. I feel unclean.

When they no longer have shareholders, I imagine.

Safe Mode with Networking is not a good choice, Tannin, as there are Spyware thingies that start up when Networking is initialized. Your better bet is to throw all the shit you need on a thumb drive and run it from there. Also, there's no reason to bother with msconfig; Hijack this keeps a...

Kwotes Random, funny crap from other people's IRC/IM sessions.

Some of my customers use Roboform. The simple hint I give to everyone is to take the stupid, common word you were going to use for a password and shift it up one row of characters on the keyboard. The result is almost always nonsense, but easily remembered.

Bozo, the fact is that the shrill, moralizing bastards that make up the republican party are as or more guilty of the very crimes they stand up and condemn in others. If I had to guess, I'd say that a similar list for other political parties would not be as expansive nor as extreme. Again, I'm...

I finally bought "Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth" but that happened the same day my monitor died so I haven't played it yet. It looks rather console-y but the manual mentions rules for morphine addiction and the effects of losing sanity.

Security Software that is not evil. Don't Use - Software from "big name" security companies. Symantec/Norton, McAfee, Trend, Computer Associates. Every single thing they make, everything they touch, sucks. This is the lesson techs learn over and over and over. Firewall - Use the one built into...

Dynamic disks have been around since Windows 2000 was in beta. Seven years, anyway. You would think that disk utilities would figure out how to work properly with them by now.

Can you get Kapersky shrinkwrapped or OEM copies? Or NOD32? Or perhaps just install AVG and be done with it? I mean, is Antivirus software really a profit center for you?

There are spyware programs that directly interfere with spyware scanning programs. Some varieties of Coolwebsearch do that, for example. It would not surprise me if you found one of the nastier varieties of some similar spyware.
