Colder than absolute zero is not accurate. Negative value is accurate.

NOD and other torrent experts.

The apartment I just moved into got a notice for 'illegal' downloading/torrenting 2 months ago. Charter cable said they would cancel the service if it continued.

Fast forward to now and the other roommate has moved out and its now me. Do you think the last time was a fluke or are they onto our house and closely monitoring it. Waiting until I get some second opinions before I start downloading at this location.

That would creep me out. Assume that a SWAT team will crash through the door the next time you download something, as portrayed in the world-renowned comic strip The Campus Beat. The scene was also portrayed a week later in the lesser-known television show, South Park.

NOT A BIG DEAL!?!?!?

Switch to private trackers or a seedbox.

Yahoo Sportstacular app is amazing. So much better than the ESPN app or going to ESPN.com. Has everything and it's all streamlined.

I went to the Amazon page because the link didn't work, and lolled multiple times at the reviews. Worth perusing: http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Di...cm_cr_pr_top_helpful?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0

1.0 out of 5 stars

Not the right kind of plug December 26, 2011

By W. W. Mayfield (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: AudioQuest Diamond 2m (6.56 feet) Braided HDMI Cable (Electronics)

I bought one of these to plug my TV in and it doesn't work at all. The outlet in the wall has three holes arranged in a triangle and this cord just has one rectangular shaped plug. I tried buying three to plug one into each hole in the outlet but even when I hammered the prongs into the right shape for the outlet my TV still won't come on and now it has smoke coming out of it.

My wife pointed that out to me when she was pissed off at the ESPN app. I'm so glad she showed it to me.

Meteor hits Chelyabinsk, Russia

There's a numbers of youtube videos from people that witnessed it from a distance. In some of the videos, you can hear windows shatter from a sonic boom.

Sportacular not Sportstacular, in case the App Store search function cares. Just think it's a shame so many people blindly use ESPN. The full website is good but their mobile stuff is awful IMO.

Pretty awesome technology that will probably be found to cause cancer in 15 years
