I use iptorrents.eu/ for most of my non porn stuff.

Can I get an invite? No way right? lol…

IPtorrents, BTN (broadcasthenet), PTP(PassthePopcorn) are supposedly the top private trackers and they have scores and scores of good and rare content (at least that's what I've read on other forums).  They are so popular that they don't even have open invitations anymore and they haven't had them FOR YEARS, The only way in is through invite, and even that could prove to be difficult. You really have to know someone on the inside to get in.  I, however, have actually made it a mission of mine to get into at least one of these

A combination of the Video DownloadHelper add-on and a download manager is usually how I download videos when I sub to someone.

It's a great place to start especially if you don't have any IT credentials under your belt. Just keep in mind that the A+ and a degree could help you get a job, but it won't secure your job.  For security, you'll eventually need to take the Security+ and possibly vendor-specific certifications to really "stick out" and stay relevant in the IT field. Like shez mentioned, experience, maybe in some to most circumstances, will trump education.  Let's just say it's affected me more times than I would've liked:-\ Hang in there, you can do it ;)!

Uhhh, this is probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.
And why exactly do you feel this way?.. It's almost like you've said "It's racist because I said so!"..

You said that you weren't attracted to "members of my own race".  Again, race matters to you.  Something about people of your racial group doesn't appeal to you.  You give others of a different race priority over others who look like you.  Does that make sense to you now? Also, if you don't find people of your racial group to be "ugly", then why haven't you given them a try?  I'm interested to know your reasoning because "I'm just not attracted" isn't sufficient.

So what about people who aren't interested in members of their OWN race? Is this also racism?… I'm personally in a situation where I'm not attracted to members of my own race (generally speaking). This doesn't mean I hate my own features, or think they are ugly, it just means I have no attraction for them.

The fact that it's your own race doesn't really change things.  You're using race as a motivation for what you find attractive.  It's still just as implicitly racist as people who find their own race attractive over others.

@atomicblue:

There are a few cases like this. I know Simon Rex did some porn before moving into TV, and Tomas Skoloudik did a bit of porn before moving across to fashion modelling (he's been really successful, doing ads for Armani and the like).

Simon Rex is really the only one that has been somewhat of a success after doing porn, then again, it ended up catching up to him and ruining opportunities for him too. Channing Tatum, while he didn't do any porno films, did legitimately strip for cash (and possibly did more). But he was at least smart enough with the help of a Hollywood director to turn his risque past into a profit.  Doing porn can definitely kill a chance at a Hollywood career that's for sure :-.
