Tabbed browsing is great because my fiancee doesn't understand it. She loves to click on each window to see what I'm doing on the internet but she has no idea that there are three tabs of porn hiding right in front of her face.Ice Cream Jonsey wrote: I also hate "tabbed" browsing.

I hope next time you go down on her she's smirking because there are 3 tabs of someone else's dna, right in front of your face.co wrote:Tabbed browsing is great because my fiancee doesn't understand it.

Yes, I'd download the program and not find the music I want with it.

Well, mine only takes time to load up because I have it set to save what I was looking at last. Though, haha, fagged.JQW has requirements for software that are usually the complete opposite of mine. For instance, I don't have any patience for browser windows loading, so I use IE. I also hate "tabbed" browsing. He has time to kill and loves "fagged" browsing. So you can see how we'd differ. I'll deal with him down below.Yeah, so shut your mouth? This is really weird, you bitch about something based on how it used to be. Not to mention JQW was reccomending a client BEFORE bitorrent existed or some silly shit.
Whatever, maybe the entire "I GOT BANNED! *HIGH FIVE* NT" thing was entirely in my head.I love how *I'm* the one parroting here, in a conversation I was an active member of on a different website. NOBODY ELSE WANTED the shit I was grabbing from Oink. Christ man, I'm not a monster. I didn't sit there with a lone digit over the left trackball button, just waiting to disconnect the exact instant the last byte made it to my computer. But nobody wanted anything from "Rabbitt" or "Depeche Mode" or whoever else I grabbed. They didn't want it and your suggestion is apparently for me to:I didn't say popular downloads of popular songs. I'm probably still running on ratio from when I seeded "The Vandals - Christmas with the Vandals 'Oi! To the world'". Why don't you up Hall and Oates rather than parroting a retard you know from the Internet?
Big fucking deal if no one wants it, right?1) Keep it up indefinitely
You've gotta want something up there that has a shitload of people after it. Hell, maybe ... try downloading something new?2) Go grab shit I don't want, but is "popular" so I can maintain a ratio
:( So this is still about you pretending to be some kind of revolutionary right? I'm glad you're reading this like it's a pro-asshole argument, rather than a 'don't explicity deny yourself every service anyone you disagree with provides based on some petty sherwin-ethical stand' argument. It's totally the former.Man, you're a goddamn retard. This isn't putting shit up on an FTP. The Bit Torrent Guy, Graham Torrent, found a solution that used people like me to his advantage. I don't like having my network "open" -- call it OCD or stupidity or whatever you want. I want my behavior (download and run) to not change. Graham made it so that my behavior HELPS other people, which is genius. In doing so, he conclusively proved that people who care about ratios are dumbfucks and if you care about them, Worm, you're as stupid as the retards running Oink.
What? I heard it on the radio, in Longmont, Colorado, on the way to the Burrito Kitchens for lunch. If you find the thread you'll realize that I expressed my incredulation because it WAS on the radio. I am familiar with the concept of the "remix." This, please, cannot be that.[/quote]No, it really WAS NOT what was played on the radio. You posted an MP3 which had the normal song intro and looped a 5 second refrain for the rest of the entire song. After awhile you found the real song, which was horrible, but believably horrible. I cannot find the thread, because you're a commie.That wasn't an Internet-only remix. That was what they PLAYED on the radio. It was on the album. It was 3rd Eye Blind. "When I See You," if I remember right.

Au contraire. Only a guy who still had outdated notions of women and porn would take glee in that sort of putting one over on her. It has nothing to do with the porn, just the delight in subterfuge.co wrote:Only a chick could equate looking at porn to cheating.

Yes, it is time to let this first part go.
I called my own shot. That's all.Whatever, maybe the entire "I GOT BANNED! *HIGH FIVE* NT" thing was entirely in my head.
Just the opposite! My behavior hasn't changed, it's just that with torrents, I can help while being a worthless leecher.:( So this is still about you pretending to be some kind of revolutionary right?
Here's what it comes down to.I'm glad you're reading this like it's a pro-asshole argument, rather than a 'don't explicity deny yourself every service anyone you disagree with provides based on some petty sherwin-ethical stand' argument. It's totally the former.
I personally won't suffer fools, even if they have something I might want. I feel I should be clever and resourceful enough to get music without having to cotton to a bunch of losers who I am quantifiably better than in every single respect.
I've been fortunate, don't get me wrong, but I have also gone out and worked hard at times to get where I am today. I have a great life. I'm really happy with it. I know I'm a better person than anyone running a British MP3 torrent site, simply because any kind of person who is better than me doesn't have time to run a torrent site.
So that's where it all begins to dissolve. I'm a great person, well centered and very happy. I should get access to music torrents because I'm so awesome, and every community should recognize that intrinsically. If they don't and then go out and BAN me, well, I find them worthless. Especially since banning me implies that their service is so valuable that I had better act straight (ha, ha) and be a good boy and not piss them off. I don't care if I piss them off. It made some retard in England shake with impotent rage that... that... sputum... here is this wretched new guy who didn't... gasp.... seed his torrents!!! Wow, he showed me! I managed to get every single album I was interested in, even though I no longer have access to http://oink.me.uk/ . Oink (I'm not writing "OiNK") thinks they are the only game in town or something. Plus... who fucking gives a shit about RATIOS?!?!?!?!?!?!
Come on, Worm! These stupid maggots CARE ABOUT RATIOS. Maybe it's just me, but when you get to be my age you have open contempt for something as dumb as a RATIO. Give me a freaking break. Don't you see how they are little self-important dictators over stolen content? Why can't you hate them for that?
Well, sure. The only argument I would make fun of you for is if you tried to say that ratios were a good idea which, being intelligent than 100% of the people who run Oink, you wouldn't. I'm glad you can get the stuff you want and I'm thrilled you're not paying for music.If I can download from oink, never think about my ratio, and be perfectly fine, great for me, right?
"When I See You", radio edit, by Third Eye Blind is the terrible song in question that was played over the radio, at least in Colorado. There are other versions of that song, but the only one I've ever heard played was the one that repeat itself for three minutes.I'm pretty sure someone, somewhere, somehow posted an edited 3rd blind song on this BBS, I remember sending it to people and then having to recant.
It's not glee so much as understanding that it makes her insecure. As we all know, chicks don't make much sense, she's fine with looking at all-woman porn by herself or with me but freaks out if I look at nude pictures of women by myself. Who the fuck knows, but all I know is I ain't arguing about it with her.Vitriola wrote:Au contraire.

Doesn't having a "stash" indicate some sort of subterfuge? Why not a guy who proudly displays his playboys in the bathroom?Vitriola wrote:I've gone on record as not even considering dating a guy unless he had a stash
Well, chief, why even register then?I called my own shot. That's all.Whatever, maybe the entire "I GOT BANNED! *HIGH FIVE* NT" thing was entirely in my head.
I really don't see why you have such a mental block about seeding the files. You know when you go to download something off bittorrent, torrentspy, or empornium and no one is seeding it? Well, that's your fault. What's the big problem about seeding 16 things that no one wants to download. Well, here's where it gets a bit tricky, the Internet is big. People will sporadically download one of those 16 things and it will help your ratio.Just the opposite!

Not me and not any of the other people I invited who maintain ratios from .4(the lowest I think) to 1.0.who fucking gives a shit about RATIOS?!?!?!?!?!?!
Because I can get full Albums, all in the same birate, usually with perfect IDv3 tags (which is how my nomad organizes the shit), all usually at 100+kb/s.Come on, Worm!

:( Fuck, I understand math man. I know that the only people who should be banned from Torrent sites are the ones who never upload a megabyte, even then people shouldn't get so worked up over the just allocation of stolen data.Well, sure.

Sony BMG Names New CEO to Replace Lack

Sony BMG Music Entertainment Names Rolf Schmidt-Holtz As Its New CEO to Replace Andrew Lack
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- The chief executive and chairman of the board are trading hats in a shake-up at Sony BMG Music Entertainment, the powerhouse record company behind such pop stars as Britney Spears, OutKast and Travis Tritt.
Rolf Schmidt-Holtz, who had been chairman, is replacing CEO Andrew Lack, who becomes chairman of the board. The swap, announced Friday and effective immediately, follows months of criticism of Lack's tenure as CEO, including investor discontent over spiraling fees paid to artists and a scandal over copy protection software in Sony CDs.
The unit was formed after Sony Music Entertainment and BMG, the music unit of Guetersloh, Germany-based Bertelsmann, formally combined their businesses. Sony and Bertelsmann each own half of the company.
Following the change, Schmidt-Holtz will assume overall management responsibility, while Lack "will lead the company's public policy and industry initiatives, and assume operating responsibility and oversight for the theatrical film business of Sony BMG," a joint statement said.
"I am extremely pleased to take on this new leadership role with the company and to continue to help Sony BMG accelerate its tremendous growth and performance," Lack said. "Rolf and I are fortunate to have a roster of extraordinary artists and a top-notch team of creative executives around the world."
The company operates several labels, including Columbia, RCA, Jive and LaFace, and its artist roster features Aerosmith, Jessica Simpson and Alicia Keys, among others.
Schmidt-Holtz was BMG's chief executive from 2001 until the merger in mid-2004 and has been chairman of the merged company's board since then. He will relocate to New York and will take up oversight of Sony BMG's theatrical film business.
Because of the swap, he resigned from Bertelsmann's executive board, the company said.
"With this management change Rolf and Andy are now aligned in positions that will take advantage of the significant progress the company has already made, as well as their formidable business skills and respective management experiences," Sony Chairman and CEO Howard Stringer said.
Bertelsmann CEO Gunter Thielen said Schmidt-Holtz "has impressively proven his flair for the creative and economic aspects of success in the music business."
