    Re: Re: Re: I'm confused...

    One could easily argue that his twitter fit over his label screwing him on promotion probably pushed that digital figure much higher than it would have been normally. The real test is going to be if he can sustain that level of interest.

    I think the more telling statistic in all this is that 45k of 66k. He rose to #3 on the charts w/ about two-thirds of his sales being digital.

    Re: Re: Re: Computer? What computer?

    Was just reading MSPA and your post reminded me of this: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005097

    "You also wonder why he's not answering your messages. Does he even have a computer on him?? He should try to have more foresight, and carry no less than 5 computers on him at all times, like a sensible person."

  • On the post: Why LulzSec Was Un-Hackable, And Why That's A Good Thing

    Re: Re: Re: Re: The FBI busted LulzSec !!!

    Been following this seemingly "hacker turf war" for a while and I suspect at least some of the ones attacking Lulzsec probably have some sort of "protection from on high," especially the way some of them have been launching very public DOS attacks on all sorts of other websites they don't agree with and have yet to get "party v&".

    Would be interesting to see if anyone gets nabbed for those attacks on Lulzsec's webpage or Anonymous public outlets.

    Fanta

    Perfect example of this: Anyone remember the Indian Fanta comerical you could add your own subtitles to?

    If you give people the tools to do funny things w/ your brand, if you're lucky your marketing will go viral and people will remember it for years. Embrace the chaos.

    Re: Please don't Torrent over Tor

    Truth. Torrenting through Tor is a terrible idea. However, I think the whole "download Tor" bit is just so you can access the website, I doubt the operators of TPB aren't that clueless.

  • On the post: PIPA's Own Sponsors Backing Off Bill; Ask Senate To Hold Off On Voting [Updated!]

    Ya know...

    Harry Reid is either really terrible at his job as Senate Majority Leader, or secretly really good at looking incompetent while being a sly leader. HAHAHAHA who am I kidding?

    However, pushing for a cloture vote in the harsh light of all this "negative press" may be just what we need to kill PIPA. They need 61 votes for cloture, then it's a cooling period for a few days then a straight up or down vote. Then it goes to the house, or gets reconciled with SOPA... if they manage to pass that turd. Then it goes to the President, who, while not issuing a veto threat, has said that the DNS blocking provisions are crap.

    It could likely fail to get cloture. Even if the cloture vote succeeds, the bill could fail to pass. I say go for it. Better to force the up or down vote now, before an election, while the nerd rage is fresh and furious, rather than waiting for the distraction of the November election or the lame duck session afterwards.

    Maybe I'm too optimistic about this crap and have too much faith in Reid not really being an idiot and instead sly like a fox. Even if he is, it's still just all procedural BS and political gamesmanship in the Senate.
