i gave it a go a few different ways. I searched the store and got 2 choices, tried them both. One actually installed but didn't work, the other led me to a file browser showing where things are in folders but no app to install...restarted mozilla and still telling me I needed to install flash for all tries.
So I then went to Adobe and it asked me which Linux setup I wanted to install. Chose Ubuntu, no luck. Tried a few others, no luck. I think proof in life has it...gonna give it a go later.
I was wondering if anyone might help me get "flash" worked out. Yeah yeah, everyone hates flash, but I need it for some stuffs. I've tried a few DL options with no success. I download a self-installing version and one where I'm supposed to find the damn thing and execute, but no luck...anyone?
Beard, scar(forehead), cat, pipe(no more), i stopped a guy beating his girlfriend in a parking lot with my fist, lots of glenlivet, welded in middle school (learned bead and scale) but I forgot...
"Show of hands, how many muslims do you know and communicate with ?" So...am I supposed to raise as many hands as Muslims I know? Because I only have 2 hands...
I live in the Twin Cities, the location with the largest Somali population outside of Somalia. Somewhere over 50,000 Somalis just in the two main cities, not even counting suburbs. I live and work with Muslims EVERY DAY. I love their food, I love their culture, I love their kids. Their kids are smart and do their fucking work.
I don't know these people in this picture. I do know folks like them sure do get listened to an awful lot in England. A lot in the US as well. Most Muslims I know scoff at these guys. Just recently, there was an overall loss of support for a major Muslim "liberation" front group here in the cities when said group, who claims they are about freeing Muslims from oppressive governments like ones found in Iran, allied themselves with Al-Quaida. I find it humorous that these people move into countries and scream and rant that they deserve this and that, death to this person and that, and these people are their NEIGHBORS. Move the fuck away if you don't like something. When your tenets, philosophies and religious beliefs so clash with a country that you want to literally build a new country, what and the FUCK are you doing there? Go away.
"I loved 911, I was applauding and laughing: "Ha ha, there you go, americans, fuck you !"
Chances are I'll do the same when they blow up something big in UK, Ireland, France or Lithuania(lulz)."
I have nothing to rebut this with. You're a sad fuck. In general I like a lot of what you say here on this site. But I don't see how anything like 9-11, happening anywhere, is funny. Lick my huge fucking nut sack you sociopath.
Look, this isn't meant to be a UK vs. US flame war, Tuoni. You seem to love that shit for some reason. I just saw this pic, noticed it was in England, so made a joke about it. Why did you even post the Westborough bullshit, because of Christianity...silly. As aforementioned, if you knew anything about that group you would know they are a laughing stock and are simply trying to get people mad to take action so they can sue them.
Having said that, this could easily have been a picture in the U.S. Fuckers get to do this stuff here too. They're just less bold anymore post 9-11 because they know better. I mean,
"Europe, take some lessons from 9/11" - what exactly is the lesson there. Kick the hornets nest and have all of your relatives harassed for a decade?
I disagree with Cyril - Proxies significantly enhance security of your downloads. Proxys do however slow your downloads down if you are using torrents. I havnt been able to get more than maybe 300kb/s when using a proxy.
VPN: too hard to set up and maintain a library of data. It all has to be downloaded from somewhere else first by one person of the group and the initial download is still risky.
Downloading from private torrent sites such as demonoid is probably safer than using public sites.
I was once a member of a private torrent site where only people who physically knew one another could join (which also used a couple of backdoors to avoid ISP traffic counters) and I consider that to have been about as safe as you can get with torrents. I transferred over 400gb of data within the first two days of joining the site and it didnt show up as traffic at all on the isp traffic counter. The only people who could access the torrents were all people who were friends of friends.
That said for a lot of stuff that I download I dont use any condom at all. It's just if I was to download a new release movie / game that I consider to be 'high risk' then I am willing to spend 5 bucks for a months access and not get any letter. I have previously received a letter / email from my ISP regarding my *ahem* data usage. From ancedotal evidence in australia I dont think any 'normal' torrent downloader has been prosecuted but someone who uploaded various (unreleased) games a few suburbs over ended up in court with a massive fine.
Although a proxy isnt failsafe it does make it alot more difficult to track the download to your computer especially if you route it through one or more unfriendly jurisdictions.
You could also use usenet or irc for downloads but thats a whole nother kettle of fish.
The only completely safe download is the one you pay for and even thats arguable!
yeah I do go to demonoid when I do want something. But I know for a fact that Peer Guardian, every once and a while, would reassign my address. I didn't know WHY but they did. It became a problem with my employer as many apps quit synching properly and whatnot. So I had to quit it. But now I'm running the Ubuntu at home and wanted to have a look.
$5 a month is pretty reasonable, I could just quit netflix and call it even...
^ it has to do with ubuntu because they have dev people who create applications FOR ubuntu and I know of nothing in terms of ip blocking. As to the proxy...riiight. Did I mention NOOB earlier? :D
^I have eaten that. True story. But it was a mackerel, and they had the carcass pinned up with a kabob skewer. This type of sushi is known as "ikizukuri", "live sushi".
My first question is about IP protection. The whole reason I'm getting another PC is so that I can arrrrgh matey. Ubuntu has an app called "Transmission" that works great for Torrents. It also has a generated list for IP block and protection. Does anyone know how reliable this is? Was going to go with Peer Guardian 2 but it isn't available for Linux. I tried to install Moblock, their alternative, but it requires a lot of command prompt and speak I am relatively naive with. So I'm wondering if Transmission will be sufficient or is there something else I should go with. If it is Moblock, it is supposedly on my comp but I'm having trouble working out if it is put on well and running... :D HELP THE NOOB!
man, I sat at a bonfire in Minnesota, right before Christmas...we were all shitfaced and I read these out loud to the people areound the bonfire. We pissed our pants as I did my best gangsta talk. Hilarious stuff.
