TorrentFreak : Find Open Private BitTorrent Trackers with Opentrackers

Mon, 2 Feb 2009 23:21:20 +0000

Waffles is open but via invite only so, technically, it should be green. But..... there needs to be another flag added - for the 'invite-only' status. Green with a cross. =]

TorrentFreak : Top 10 Most Pirated Movies on BitTorrent

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:06:48 +0000

Loved "Man on Wire", "In Bruges" & "Blow" too. *slurp* :P "Frost/Nixon" was a tad over-hyped for me. Loved Michael Sheen as Frost (cracking as Tony Blair too, in "The Queen") but the usually-impeccable Frank Langella seemed a little unconvincing in his role (huge shoes to fill, tho. Nixon was a right nutbar... =] ) "Che Part One" was class - can't wait for Pt. 2. "Milk" was surprisingly compelling for me - a hetero guy. "The Hurt Locker" was ok, if you're into Iraq conflict movies. "The Crew" is an amusing scouse take on gangster flicks. Off to watch "W" now, but I've heard it's not brutal enough & shows Dubya to have a heart - all lies... :P

Do not fret, Chingalaro . Discerning US citizens such as yourself are the sole reason there is still hope for your country. As to the illiterate, racist, homophobic, chicken-hawk calling for your abduction, simply point & laugh. S/H/It is an anachronism in today's world.

It's quite possible I missed it. Over-exposure to deliberately-inane TV shows has all but destroyed my higher functions; my attention-span is now that of a budgerigar. Either that, or it's the shit they put in the water... =]

Many thanks for the information regarding post length. I found it to be societally positive & intellectually stimulating. It inspired me to create my own post in response. So much better than the 'low-brow' drivel everyone else seems to be foisting upon us (TINU) against our will & driving down the moral standards of TorrentFreak's 'populace'. =]

(cont. - due to the short post-length maximum of the new system) ... However I may agree with you that there are (so) many turds floating around on TV, I will defend to the hilt the pointy-headed retard's right to watch as much crap as they like, whenever they like. It is not for you (or I) to decide what is aesthetic or tasteful enough for general broadcast, nor to make sweeping generalisations regarding TV's impact on 'society'. (Do you also still subscribe to the outdated - & frankly ludicrous - meme that violent videogaming causes violent people?) Television OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people. =]

Your words: "insulting to his/her intelligence" "shows made them mindless" "not good for the general intellect" "it contributes nothing positive [...] especially in the mind" "does not contribute to intellect" "even if not intellectually" Wow right back atcha! Talk about failing to remember what you yourself _just_ wrote. Not to mention a fascinating, almost limitless, capacity to completely ignore most of the points _I_ (& others) have made. I reiterate: if you don't like it, switch off - or jump on over to mvgroup.org; there's a wealth of edutainment just awaiting your 'intellectual' perusal.

You keep wailing about intellect but you're just not getting it. Either that, or you're being deliberately obtuse. 1 - Entertainment need not be "intellectually positive". There's pretty-much always been an element of mindless pabulum (google 'vaudeville', 'music hall' or even 'Commedia dell'Arte' - 500-yr old crude, slapstick comedy!). 2 - TV would soon go bust if it tried to 'teach' (read 'preach to') the great unwashed. 3 - Your 'society' would NOT thank you for interfering with their leisure time, & it ain't the Evil Empire (your 'industry') deciding what's on. The people choose - via pilots, focus groups, screeners, etc. You wanna learn, go to school - 'cos TV ain't edumacation & never will be (thank Ghod!).

"As I have said before, it contributes nothing positive, and affects people negatively - especially in the mind. " NONE of these shows are meant to be high-art. They're entertainment, ferchrissakes - & how in hell can you judge them as being COMPLETELY negative? TV is the new opium of the masses & damn if I don't be loving them opioids... You don't dig them? Vote with your off button - but millions obviously derive some form of comfort from them. In these troubled times, we (TINW) NEED release valves in their manifold forms. I'd much rather someone zoned out to crap TV than got drunk & smashed up the neighbourhood (for example). =]

Scrubs is _meant_ to be mindless; switch off brain - turn on Scrubs. I find it quite relaxing & mildly amusing. The rest is poop tho', IMHO...

"I seriously doubt any of the band had any idea at all that their record company were hiring this web-moron. " If the record company are making decisions without consulting FF, then they deserve everything they get (you'd think 'artists' would now have cl00 regarding manipulation by A&R men, etc.) Either they _did_ know and are wankers or they _didn't_ know and are clueless 'art-punk' pseuds. In both instances they are "Teh Fail". =]

An announcement on the official site reads: “Franz have covered David Bowie’s 1977 single Sound And Vision for a new compilation marking the 40th anniversary of BBC Radio 1. The album features contemporary artistzzzz covering a song from each year since the station’s first broadcast in 1967. edit….The whole shabang doesn’t appear to be for charity so point your browsers towards Limewire soon, kiddies!” Art-Punk? Feh - I always knew FF were pseuds...

You need to learn how to block ads. Type "host file blocking" or, more simply, "adblock plus" into your favourite "serch mowter". HTH ;D
