I actually though it might be Sony at first before all the insanely incriminating stuff came out.

No, it wouldn't be a privacy issue. And it's not really a setting of the website you're using, it's just the way it downloads. If after clicking the link you choose "Open file" it'll open with Vuze (for you), but if you click "Save as" it'll save and then sit there until you open it.

I generally use magnet links,…

Wow, that's one hell of a sense of entitlement.

TPB used magnet links as their default. If you click on the magnet icon in a Kickass page it will function the way you are used to. Downloading and dragging the torrent file to Vuse shouldn't leak your info.

This is the internet.... Aren't we all more conflicted about downloads than drugs?

Nice try mister MPAA, I ain't telling ya nothing.

It will be so awesome when we can leave our pets into a VR world while we go to work. I imagine my dog would e.g. love to herd some virtual sheep or chase rabbits or whatever..

What are you using now? 5-10% fake-rate seems awfully high.

That's complete bullshit considering movie companies, recording artists, and artists in general are at an all time high in profit margin. The hunger games newest installment has grossed almost 300million dollars so far. How about these companies spend some of their record setting profits putting together a think tank…

Meanwhile, your entire contribution to the conversation is condescending comments and pre-emtively valid dismissing arguments, Where are YOUR proposals for dealing with piracy?

I'll take the high road...

I don't know how to approach historical case studies because it seems to me at least that history doesn't have any comparable cases. Afghanistan and Iraq Bush-era wars were fought on the cheap in just those two countries, and even the drone warfare under the War on Terror banner is an absurdly cheap approach. That…

Noah, and that's pretty much it.

Charlton Heston blows up the Death Star at the end.

And what are we giving him?

I'm on the same page. I've gone out and bought hard copies of books that I loved, albums I couldn't stop listening to, etc. I don't really feel bad at all.

"Refugees Feeling from ISIS in Sinjar, Iraq"

So, it's totally legal for them to do this, right? But when some kid somewhere pulls a dDOS on a bank or something, it's hacking and a criminal offence?

I read that as "baklava" first. I like that version better.

I don't believe I've ever been in a taxi that was ADA compliant. I assume (because I am not handicapped) that when disabled people request a taxi, they would mention they need one to meet their particular needs, and not the standard Crown Vic. So Uber just needs to make sure they have SOME vehicles in service that…
