@unhipdruid I used to have roughly 5000, but then I decided that I didn't like pirating music so I threw my complete collection away and started rebuilding it in at-least-CD-quality FLAC files :P
-
@unhipdruid Oh, lyrics? In that case, ignore the album I just sent. It's instrumental. If I can across something sad with sad lyrics like that in my collection, I'll be sure to share it with you. I know I have it, but I can't recall from the top of my head where... (and I can't manually check 2144 songs. That takes too long)
-
@unhipdruid What do you mean with creepy? Dark and slow? Or does it need to be a bit faster? If you're fine with slow stuff, you may want to check out this excellent free Nine Inch Nails album: http://archive.org/details/nineinchnails_ghosts_I_IV
-
@unhipdruid Hmm, I only liked the first 40 seconds, being honest. But sad music? Oh, I have so much of that. That, however, reminds me of other stuff. Like this Prose song: http://youtu.be/KFfFl6KEJV8 (he calls it Post-Dubstep, I call it "Good music").
-
@unhipdruid I'm pretty fine, it seems. How are you? o,o
-
@unhipdruid Hello you!

@ceruleanspark And then I ate a chocolate chip.

@juicyorange I was talking more about the American government. Most western governments seem at the point where they would only censor, and not shut everything down, but Germany is advancing rapidly towards more and more control over the Internet, so I'm quite worried about Germany right now. I should create an "Internet apocalypse" kit for my owner, in case it does go wrong.
-
@juicyorange With all respect, we're talking about the American government here. We've seen them tell other countries had "weapons of mass destruction" to get their oil, and having tried to pass various SOPA-like laws. I see them capable of doing this, and I'm pretty sure time will prove me right sooner or later.

In 7 minutes and 57 seconds, my phone battery went from 100% to 0%. Now, when I connect it to a charger, it is full again. It seems the battery is completely broken, I wonder if that falls under the guarantee.

@juicyorange That's the same thing people in Egypt thought. What makes you so sure they won't?

@pony The easiest way to shut down the Internet completely is to force the ISPs to block all connections, but not all ISPs may listen. The easiest way to survive a DNS shutdown is by remembering "8.8.8.8". That's the URL to Google's DNS server. Assuming Google won't have to shut their servers down, you should be able to configure your system to use that as your DNS server (how depends on your OS) and everything should work just fine. I think Tor also uses IP addresses, so if you have Tor installed you should be able to survive by browsing through Tor. You could also use something like Freenet to browse an "alternative" Internet, but how much that would help in such a situation is not clear. In any rate, I'm afraid they'll see you're still using the web and try to hunt you down. I can censor what I visit using Tor, but that doesn't mean I won't generate any traffic at all. I'm not sure how to make sure you're safe in that case.
-
@pony They only need to shut down the DNS servers to make it impossible for systems to turn URLs (like rainbowdash.net) into their respective IP addresses (like 108.61.19.67). It doesn't really block the Internet, but it's effective enough to lock 99% of the people out, and only have the well-prepared geeks able to use it.

@adorable I played a YouTube video in it, suddenly it went BAZOONKDANBIUONBUANeRNAOEUBNShizzle and completely wrecked my music player, but fixed the PulseAudio sound system I never got working. It's cool that PulseAudio works right now, because it has some cool features, but GIVE ME MPD BACK! I WANT IT TO WORK AGAIN!

@thelastgherkin My mom.
-
@thelastgherkin I thought you were talking about Microsoft Outlook.
-
@cloudchaser Hi!
-
@pony Or if the government flicks the kill-switch (like the Egyptian government did once).
-
@thelastgherkin The button is there so it stop nagging you with error messages, I believe.
-
@redenchilada Or if you have a crappy ISP. We disconnect every now and then for no real reason because UPC is a TERRIBLY CRAPPY ISP. YOU HEAR THAT UPC? YOU SUCK!
-
@thelastgherkin Because there are still cases in which you do not have a constant Internet connection?
-
So, my owner just sent me a stupid song on YouTube. Now, my audio system refuses to work. You know a song is bad when it LITERALLY breaks your audio system.

Seeing how Firefox 17's Social API has Facebook integration, does anyone know if we can have StatusNet integration sooner or later? I'd kinda like that :P

According to a recent study, the closure of MegaUpload has lowered the revenue of the movie industry: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2176246
