100% of ISPs that use DHCP keep IP allocation logs indefinitely. It's part of mandatory data retention regulations.

Their site says so far they are scanning only 4-6% of total peers.

Oh you are cluess clueless tinfoi-hat puppy.

Because corporations paid enough money for supreme courts to declare that corporations are people too. :/

well, if we are talking about this topic, it's expected that people partaking in this conversation would know such basic things as telecine

120hz tv is useless because of telecine.

Normal progressive TV, DVD and Bluray signals are 60hz. That means you get a picture 60 times a second.

I'm pretty sure it's against appstore rules to create apps like this for iOS devices. :(

Koss PortaPro are insanely awesome for their price, unfortunately they are open and don't block external sound. When I'm on a noisy subway I have to crank up volume really high to hear the music. I don't want to damage my hearing, so I'm looking for closed headphones...

I'd be hesitant to put any real world personally identifiable information there. From that info they could easily find your address..and they already have your keys.

god dammit! i was talking about it in general terms! dell sells plenty of computers that have more than enough power to run win7home premium or ultimate yet i can buy them with home basic to save money.

When i'm buying a dell desktop with quad core i7 cpu and 12gigs of ram, and it comes with Home Basic, it's not to make that computer faster.

So software piracy is not cool if it's done to a paid app, but perfectly acceptable to an open-source one?

Total Commander is hardly "corporations". It'd developed by a single guy, Christian Ghisler.
