silverscarcat: Back in 1985 Ninja: Amusingly the opensource community gives a shit to piracy and it's flourishing. I'd like to see statistics for the activity within the open and the closed parts. dennis deems: Looks like it's really gonna happen. Dammit. :( http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/05/yahoo-will-purchase-tumblr-for-1-1-billion-according-to-wsj-report/ Ninja: omg... hopefully they'll leave it alone and avoid destroying it... I like tumblr dennis deems: I really can't understand why yahoo wants tumblr. the ethos is completely different and I would think irreconcilable to the ethos of yahoo if they integrate it into their own infrastructure, it's dead http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2013/05/tumblr-mayer-promises-not-to-screw-it-up.php silverscarcat: Wait, wait, wait... The DoJ and the Dept of Edu want WHAT?! *Googles it* ... *Calls Everyone in congress who supposedly represents me.* Even Italians are calling the U.S. a police state. dennis deems: ? google search yields nothing silverscarcat: I got it on my first attempt. Should be the top result. Rikuo: Jeebus, you'd think ISPs would have learned about data caps My ISP, Digiweb, has just announced three Fibre plans, 70Mb down, 20Mb up. First two plans though have 70GB and 200GB caps respectively, which is ridiculous for such high speeds. For the high price of 80 euro/month, I can get unlimited bandwidth Thing is, I've learned to be wary, so I click on Terms and Conditions, to see what their definition of unlimited is...only to be met by an error page saying my IP address had been blocked silverscarcat: Well... That sucks. :(
