UK ISPs prepare for Digital Economy P2P fallout
Posted on April 13, 2010 | No CommentsThe Digital Economy Act passed in the UK, as you know, and it's pretty terrible. One of the more spicy sections of the law involved peer-to-peer use, and how it basically makes ISPs responsible for what their customers download. So if HBO finds that you've been download “The Pacific,” (really good show, by the way, much to my surprise) it can contact your ISP, who's then responsible for telling you to knock if off. If not, you face a truly horrible punishment: you're sent to Stoke! (That's a joke, people!)

No iPad for me, thanks (but please don’t hate me)
Posted on April 2, 2010 | No CommentsTo answer our own poll: no, I will not be buying an iPad. It's not that I'm "anti-iPad," which sounds pretty silly ("look, I'm against a piece of plastic~!"), it's simply that I have no need for it. Why would I buy something that I don't need? That makes no sense!

FIOS packages strike your fancy?
Posted on January 19, 2010 | No CommentsVerizon has a bunch of new FIOS packages that may interest you. The top of the pile is the Ultimate package, which gives you "90 or more" HD channels, plus an Internet connection of 35/35, which is 35 mbps download, 35 mbps upload. The upload speed is impressive, but I still have triple the download speed. (I seriously run at 11 MB/s when downloading from Usenet. It's almost unnecessary how fast it is.) This top package is $149 per month.

Giganews crosses the 400-day binary retention mark (but won’t stop there)
Posted on September 12, 2009 | No CommentsSix months ago, Giganews announced that it would expand its server capacity to 365 days of retention. It passed that barrier some time ago, and just yesterday reached the magical 400-day mark. In plain English, that means if someone posted Some File to alt.binaries.boneless back in July, 2008, you should be able to find it on Giganews' servers. And to think, back in my early days of Usenet use (2001ish), I was putting up with two days retention.

Snow Leopard protects you from two Trojans
Posted on August 28, 2009 | No Comments
It seems that Snow Leopard contains some sort of anti-malware system. But what does it really protect you from? Not much.
It seems to scan for only OSX.RSPlug and OSX.Iservice and then only scans files from Safari, Mail, and a few web browsers. Usenet and Bittorrent clients are unaffected. It doesn't even actively scan the Downloads folder.
