Refringe

I pay less than $7/month for my Usenet connection, which is relatively cheap if you use it frequently. The connection is over SSL so it's completely secure end-to-end. My average download speed is 9 MB/s (saturating my line) which means I can download a 720p HD movie in just under 13 minutes. There's also (like with torrents) the ability to set-up TV show RSS feeds, so my shows automatically download to a folder, ready to watch, as they're released. It comes down to ease of use.

Rogers already does this (cripples download and limits upload to ~80KBps). They've forced me to switch to Usenet as even popular Torrents slow to a crawl on their Ultimate plan (50 down/2 up).

This from the PHP developer that tries to print an exit function.

<?php exit; ?>

For the time being, nothing. However, once TPB goes full magnet you'll just submit a link instead of a file. It should make the process easier.

This looks really handy. It's disappointing that there's only partial support for IE7.

The court order was not misunderstood, it was executed exactly as written. The person(s) who made the final verdict are the ones that misunderstand the technology and that's not the ISPs fault.

Or newsgroups... ;)

That's a shame, but at the same time you have to wonder who would store five years of photos using an online service and not have a single backup. Buy one or two cheap portable hard drives and do a monthly backup of all of your can't-live-without files to both drives every month. Store them in a safe place and don't use them for anything else. Problem averted.

Edit: Or shit, at least have a copy on your computer.

Received one. Thank you!

I would really love to try it all out if you have any invites left:

This has nothing to do with outsourcing as outsourcing is usually done on a contract basis. This is a way to stop people from being employed by a company in a different state.

I'm nitpicking, but I wouldn't say Apple "removes" the logos, just special orders the chips with their logo instead.

That's not what the law is meant to prevent. It's meant to prevent me from sharing my online service (Netflix) account with my mother. It's meant to persuade me to tell my mother to get her own account. Clearly these people don't love their mothers.
