Personally, I prefer if people are going to upload full DVDs to upload the Video_TS folder.

Overall, I'd rather have full dvds, than rips.

I've seen a lot of rips with very low quality, even though they have a pretty big file size.

EDIT: The reason I prefer Video_TS folders is that my seedbox doesn't support transfer resume on files over 2gb.

If you have the pirate ship download add-on, they suffer from the same bridge bug.

I've lost several of my men there from this.

I have Fable 1 and 2 and both are good fun.

I don't like the fact that you have to keep going back to get your rent money in Fable 1.  I find that annoying.

Fable 2 is great, except that it says you can keep playing after you finish the main game.  However, there is nothing to do other than run around and keep collecting rent money.  My only "quest" still remaining is to have the sculptor redo the statues I've long since had made.

I played Fable 1 {on PC} ages ago and forgot many things about it.  I got Fable 2 and played that, then downloaded Fable 1 and played that.  That was such a bad idea.  Fable 1 is really bad when directly compared to Fable 2.  I strongly suggest you play them in the proper order so you can see how good Fable 1 was/is for it's day.

You can shave or wax everything down there, but you can't use the same type of wax used on backs, faces, etc as it's too harsh.  You can use normal wax for your pubic bush, but not on your penis, balls or anus.

Most over the counter waxes contain things like rubbing alcohol, which will make you very sore it used on the tender bits.  IF you want to wax anything down there other than your pubic bush, make sure you get something that is made specially for waxing tender areas.

If you live in a big city, you will probably find a Spa or something that does "ass, back and sack" waxing.

If you have issues with razor burns when shaving your tender bits, it tells me that you probably aren't doing it properly.

You need to follow most of the same rules as regular shaving;

1. Make sure the are is freshly cleaned and all cleansing stuff is washed away and clean again after shaving to remove the shaving foam/cream/gel.

2. Make sure you soak the area to be shaved for at least 10 minutes.  This can be done in a bath or while taking a shower.

3. Use a fresh blade, as it can/will have nicks in it from previous shaves.  Nicks in the blade{s} are the most common cause for cuts.

4. Use the right type of shaving foam/cream/gel for your skin type and the area you want to shave.  Using anything with alcohol, menthol, citrus extracts, etc are fine to use on most faces, but not a good choice to use on your tender bits unless you like a lot of pain.  It's recommended that you use a moisturizing based shaving gel or cream to do the tender bits, as these have extra oils in them that helps the razor glide across the area.

Post shaving needs a bit of attention too;

1. Apply some cool water {not the cologne} to the area to close the pores.  This helps for many reasons, including pimples, infection and what not.

2. Dry the area completely before getting dressed.

3. Talc/baby powder is good to use.  Just make sure you wash and change it every day. Talc also helps prevent the itchiness when the hair grows back in.  Most experts don't recommend corn/maize/maise starch based "talc" because it's too fine and can clog the pores.  So use the real stuff made from rock and be a real man.

4. If you use talc, do not use after shave moisturizers as well.  All it does is gum up the area and cause problems.  Use one or the other, never both.

5. Wear clothing, especially underwear, that breathes.  DO NOT wear nylon or polyester man panties as they do not breath.

6. Avoid pools, hot tubs and other areas for a day or so that have high chlorine levels as this can cause irritation.

Sports are a good way of keeping fit.

I'm 41 and I still play sports on a regular basis.

There are 2 types of ratio on the site; overall ratio and current session ratio.  On site, you only really need to worry about your overall ratio.  To keep from over seeding, keep an eye on what your client says.

The overall ratio always updates and stays current, while the current session ratio resets every time you close down your client.  I believe the current session ratio resets {for that particular torrent} every time you stop a torrent, even if your client is still active.

@mgr:

Until the users adds the duration to their description I don't see a resolution - except download of course

I always include the run time of my video uploads.

I do wish everyone would do it.

It's not Blake that he's talking about.

I used to have the video and the guy in question did look a lot like Ben Affleck in certain camera angles, but the shots directly in front let you know it wasn't him.  I have no idea where it came from other than someone posted it to a group I belonged to on Yahoo groups a few years ago.

I'm gonna have to try this one.  Sounds like a great christmas treat.

But if we can question the gender requirements of the marriage definition, why not the number of participants?  Isn't that just another alternate lifestyle?  And if we start opening up that can, then there is a destruction of marriage in a sense.

Heteros have been changing the definition of marriage throughout history.

Incestuous marriage used to be legal.  Polygamy used to be legal.  Interracial marriage used to be illegal.  A Roman Emperor married his horse, which was legal under their laws at the time.  An Egyptian queen married her cat {was that a lesbian marriage, as it had 2 pussies in it }.

Also, there has been gay marriage throughout history.  It's only that last few hundred years that it became frowned upon.

I have found several other articles on the topic that say that all Internet Explorer current versions {5 - 8 beta} are vulnerable.

Serious security flaw found in IE

Users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed.

The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say.

Microsoft urged people to be vigilant while it investigated and prepared an emergency patch to resolve it.

Internet Explorer is used by the vast majority of the world's computer users.

"Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer," said the firm in a security advisory alert about the flaw.

Microsoft says it has detected attacks against IE 7.0 but said the "underlying vulnerability" was present in all versions of the browser.

Other browsers, such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, are not vulnerable to the flaw Microsoft has identified.

Browser bait

"In this case, hackers found the hole before Microsoft did," said Rick Ferguson, senior security advisor at Trend Micro. "This is never a good thing."

As many as 10,000 websites have been compromised since the vulnerability was discovered, he said.

"What we've seen from the exploit so far is it stealing game passwords, but it's inevitable that it will be adapted by criminals," he said. "It's just a question of modifying the payload the trojan installs."

Said Mr Ferguson: "If users can find an alternative browser, then that's good mitigation against the threat."

But Microsoft counselled against taking such action.

"I cannot recommend people switch due to this one flaw," said John Curran, head of Microsoft UK's Windows group.

He added: "We're trying to get this resolved as soon as possible.

"At present, this exploit only seems to affect 0.02% of internet sites," said Mr Curran. "In terms of vulnerability, it only seems to be affecting IE7 users at the moment, but could well encompass other versions in time."

Richard Cox, chief information officer of anti-spam body The Spamhaus Project and an expert on privacy and cyber security, echoed Trend Micro's warning.

"It won't be long before someone reverse engineers this exploit for more fraudulent purposes. Trend Mico's advice [of switching to an alternative web browser] is very sensible," he said.

PC Pro magazine's security editor, Darien Graham-Smith, said that there was a virtual arms race going on, with hackers always on the look out for new vulnerabilities.

"The message needs to get out that this malicious code can be planted on any web site, so simple careful browsing isn't enough."

"It's a shame Microsoft have not been able to fix this more quickly, but letting people know about this flaw was the right thing to do. If you keep flaws like this quiet, people are put at risk without knowing it."

"Every browser is susceptible to vulnerabilities from time to time. It's fine to say 'don't use Internet Explorer' for now, but other browsers may well find themselves in a similar situation," he added.

Let's be clear here, moderators are not admin.  It must also be noted that members of staff don't always agree on every topic.

I agree with the OP that there should not be any automatic transferring of data.  It should be an opt in system.

That being said, I have no idea why the system is as it is.  Maybe there is greater need for money to run the servers and the admins thought this was the best solution.

Why did blacks get upset about riding at the back of the bus? After all, they got to ride the bus.

Separate but equal, is never truly equal.

A good example is the UK's civil partnership laws.  Things are same in some respects, but are similar in many others and in some cases not there at all.  If they included us into the marriage laws, then we'd be truly equal.

Due to the weird economic times we are having around the world, it's impossible to say what the currency conversion is going to be as it changes each day.

Just this week we have seen $ gain on the Euro. It used to be $1.5 to €1, as of Tuesday they were nearly even.  That's not to say that it won't make another major swing in either direction.

To be on the safe side, always expect it to be double what the amount is; ie $2 to €1.  This way you won't break your bank.  It won't be that dramatic, but that's how I do it to be safe.

Twinks are young and slim, while Youngbloods are young and morebuilt

Basically I think of youngblood as Frat boy

The rules were written by non English as first language people.  Some languages are spoken in very blunt manners and it's acceptable to them as a culture.  They aren't being offensive, as that is just how they speak in normal terms.  When this translates into other languages, they still carry the tone with them.

I ALWAYS see on the main page and really ANY page with YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELTED AND BANNED IF YOU DONT (fill in the blank RULE)!

On the main page, the message is about duplicate accounts, which we ban as does every site I know of.  We have the problem of most new accounts being duplicates.  I can't remember if it's 2:1 or 3:1, regardless that number is way too high.

And there are many regular torrent sites that do not threaten their users and members.

Every site I belong to tells it's members what will get them banned.  Like those, we don't always ban for the things that are in the rules.

Sure, the wording of the rules section could be worded better.

I think you are misreading what I wrote.

I never said you were trying to deny gay rights.  I said fanatical believers use any bad article about gays to justify denying gays equal rights.

I won't respond to the rest f your post because I didn't say any of the things you are claiming.

I also think by trying to say that article was written with the sole intention of only pointing the finger at gay porn is silly.  Unfortunatly, once again, gay people were used to get the point across cause let's face it: gay sells, and starts controversy.

All porn is still taboo and sells newspapers/magazines.

I belong to several skeptic {about religion} forums and articles like this are constantly used by fanatical believers when they try to justify denying gays equal rights.

I don't understand how the German High Court can order UK ISPs to turn over the personal data of their users?

Why didn't Davenport Lyons take this through the UK courts.

Anti-Piracy Lawyers Start Protecting Gay ‘Gestapo’ Porn
Written by enigmax on November 18, 2008

After going after thousands accused of sharing video games in the UK, lawyers Davenport Lyons are now branching out into other areas. This week sees them start going after those it accuses of sharing the movie “Army Fuckers”, hardcore gay porn featuring ‘farm boys’ and Gestapo officers. Accusing the wrong people this time could prove very costly indeed.

The file-sharing media went crazy recently when UK lawyers Davenport Lyons admitted it wrongly identified married pensioners who, they claim were illegally sharing a video game. The lawyers publicly apologized over the fallibility of their evidence, with highly respected consumer magazine Which? going on record to say that “hundreds” of people may have been incorrectly identified and threatened.

The latest development is one that file-sharing commentators have quietly been expecting. While some 40-60% of those threatened over video game sharing in the UK appear to pay up, there are other ways of increasing this amount substantially via social leverage. Unsurprisingly, Davenport Lyons are now going down this road which is likely maximize compliance rates.

According to recipients of fresh letters this weekend, the lawyers have now expanded into movie ‘protection’ - a gay hardcore porn movie to be precise. Set on a farm in the former Czechoslovakia, Gestapo officers apparently hand out ‘forced’ punishment in ‘Army Fuckers‘, a 2006 movie originally released by Dutch porn outfit Dream Logistics BV, on the ‘Eurocreme‘ label.

Strangely, however, Dream Logistics BV aren’t the rights holder anymore, or the ones that hired Davenport Lyons. It appears the new rights holder is German anti-piracy company DigiProtect, who managed to get this High Court order for disclosure of alleged file-sharer’s identities, based on evidence provided by lesser-known anti-piracy tracking company DigiRights Solution, of Darmstadt, Germany. Indeed, DigiRights Solution GmbH appear to have no obvious Internet presence.

Davenport Lyons are demanding £500 compensation, plus the costs from the ISP for disclosing the alleged infringer’s personal details. Recipients of the letter are given 21 days to pay up and are threatened with huge court costs and damages if they don’t, which is no different to all the other threats made by Davenport on other media they ‘protect’. It is worth noting that of a claimed 25,000 threats of legal action, no more than half a dozen have gone to court and of those, none were contested, meaning that Davenport Lyons won default judgments on them all. There is no evidence to suggest that anyone has ever contested a case with many people simply refusing to pay up.

Finally, those accused and deciding to settle are asked to sign an undertaking that they will never infringe copyright on any media owned by DigiProtect in the future, which might be easier than you think - considering the number of titles they own the rights to. As previously pointed out by P2P-Blog, DigiProtect seem to be acquiring the ‘P2P Rights’ to many titles (including those of US porn company ‘Evil Angel’) and gathering their money via P2P tracking and subsequent legal threats.

Since most people will want to avoid lining the pockets of DigiProtect and friends, here is a list of titles that include those that appear to be now owned by DigiProtect and ripe for IP harvesting.

Although not DigiProtect titles, the eagle-eyed reader will notice the inclusion on this list of Dream Pinball 3D, Colin McRae Rally and Call of Juarez - all titles targeted by Davenport Lyons. According to the list, DigiProtect also owns the rights to Atari’s dire ‘Alone in the Dark 5?.

Of course, we live in a world that has become much more liberal in recent years, so the stigma attached to porn of all flavors has diminished significantly. However, the damage that will be done to a family will be considerable if someone is incorrectly accused of sharing porn that doesn’t ‘fit’ the acceptance levels in that household.

There is a firestorm coming, there can be little doubt, and a simple apology from Davenport Lyons following an incorrect accusation won’t be enough.
