Lets Paint The Kettle Black,Do You Have A Bitch On Whats Going On Around The Site Or Any Thing Negative To Report

I like that one


Society scares me... not like unsocialized hermit scared, but like people getting stupider and stupider at an alarming rate scared. It's all a huge decline. Just watch. In 30 years we won't know how to do math by hand. And in 50 years we'll forget how to write by hand. And then we'll forget how to hold a conversation without smilies and "lols." It's absolute bullsh*t.

 

LOL - oh dear, oh dear...

 

OMG i hope you hide the thread ,man what an idiot

 

@ Nephilim,

I might start one called "How to get all your software for F***all!!!!"
ROFL!!!!!!!

 

@pop_smith...When I was your age, tight jeans were all the rage but you're way makes more sense. Really tight jeans can shift in the worst possible place and it hurts like hell!

 

Don't we already have a couple of those.. People moaning about blackcats games (bloody game piracy site) and iso hunt being down all the time.

Just shows the mentality doesn't it?. "My favourite pirate software source is out.. PLEASE WHAT DO I DO" whine whine whine..

These children need to wise up, and fast. Has anybody noticed how the traffic on TPB has dropped since the big bust? It must be down to people like me thinking "do we really trust a site that had everything siezed by the law, then comes back online so quickly"?
Just because they tell you that you are being paranoid doesn't mean they are not watching your every move...

Simple way to get all your software for free, legally, it's called linux folks..

 

NOW HERES A REAL BITCH

University of Michigan IDs students

p2pnet.net news:- The University of Michigan has turned the identities of students over to the Big 4 music cartel's RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), or is about to do so, says a post on Wired News' Listening Post.

"Today, I received an email apparently sent by Paul Howell, Chief Information Technology Security Officer of the University of Michigan, to all of the university's faculty and staff," it says. "In the email, Howell writes that the university is in the process of identifying to the RIAA the [at least] twelve students belonging to the IP addresses on the RIAA's hit list, in cooperation with the organization's new anti-file-sharing initiative. The email also said that the university will notify the students that their names are being turned over to the RIAA.

"Although Howell had already left the office by the time I called, University of Michigan staff confirmed that a letter regarding file sharing was sent to students; I hope to speak with Howell tomorrow for more detail."

The post includes the email, which blatantly promotes corporate sites selling Big 4 'product' and also says, "This action is part of an increased effort to curtail unlawful peer-to-peer file sharing. As a result, individuals who engage in this practice are more likely than ever to be identified and sued by the RIAA. Most have settled these lawsuits out-of-court, typically for $4,000-$4,500."

In fact, we understand fewer than 4,000 of the 20,000 or so RIAA victims have fallen for RIAA 'settlement' extortion scheme.

The Big 4, EMI (Britain), Vivendi Universal (France), Sony BMG (Japan and Germany) and Warner Music (US) are using their RIAA to scam American students into incriminating themselves by letter and through a web site it's put up for the purpose.

"However, it's also an historic opportunity for you to take steps to make the RIAA's itigation campaign more of a level playing field," says the Recording Industry vs The People's Ray Beckerman in an open letter.

"Please be sure to pass this along to anyone who works in the administration or counsel's office of a college or university whose students have been targeted by the RIAA," he says, continuing:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Once the RIAA has obtained whatever "settlement" money it can squeeze from students and parents willing and able to pay the money, it will bring a "John Doe" proceeding. Contrary to the spirit of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it will do everything it possibly can ex parte. It will file the complaint without notice to anyone, and submit the ex parte discovery order application without notice to anyone. Then, once it's gotten an ex parte order signed by the judge, it will give minimal notice to you with minimal notice to your students.

Typically, "John Doe" will receive only a copy of a subpoena and a copy of the order with a letter from you, and will have just a few days, or at most a couple of weeks, to respond before his or her personal confidential information will be divulged. Meanwhile, if the student were to confer with a lawyer the lawyer doesn't know what to say, because he or she has no copy of the underlying summons and complaint, no copy of the papers upon which the ex parte order is based, and no copy of the judge's rules, all of which a defendant normally does receive in any normal litigation.

What you should, at a minimum, do for your students.

What you can do is insist that the RIAA stipulate with you that (a) any motion for an order granting discovery of the students' identities will be on notice, both to you and the students, rather than ex parte, (b) that the RIAA must furnish to you, for each "John Doe", a copy of the summons and complaint and exhibits, a full set of the motion papers, and a full set of all other court documents which are required to be served on the defendant when an action is initiated... for you to distribute to the affected students.

If the RIAA refuses to so stipulate, you should go to Court yourself and get an order requiring them to comply with these fundamentals which are required by due process.

What you should also do.

The courts have held that in order for a claimant to get an order for discovery of confidential names and addresses of a John Doe in a copyright infringement case, it must make a prima facie evidentiary showing that it has a case for copyright infringement against each "John Doe".

http://www.ilrweb.com/viewILRPDF.asp?filename=warner_does1-149_replymemo*

Since the RIAA has been proceeding ex parte, however, and since they weren't challenged by the ISP's, judges have signed off on the orders even though supported by mere conclusory hearsay of suspect reliability. (Compare the courts of the Netherlands and Canada, where the ISP's challenged the application for "John Doe" information, and the Courts refused to grant the discovery orders, due to the unreliability of the RIAA's investigative "method").

The lack of reliability of the RIAA's "investigatory" technique is becoming more and more well documented. See, eg. the February 23, 2007, deposition of the RIAA's expert.

Accordingly, we believe you should oppose the RIAA's application for an order of discovery.

Likewise, if you learn of the RIAA obtaining such an order ex parte, you should move to vacate the order ex parte.

Sincerely yours,
Ray Beckerman

Stay tuned.

@gerry1, yeah tight pants could cause some "problems" if you know what I mean haha.

Nothing too bad today, work went ok which is good and now I start at 7:30 instead of 7 which is great. A half-hour doesn't seem like much but when its in the morning it seems like an eternity to me.

 

My bitch du jour: Last night, I ordered chinese delivered. It took them much longer than they said. I always tip heavily when I order delivery because I feel sorry for the poor schmuck who pedals his bicycle five blocks in the cold because I'm too lazy to walk twelve feet into the kitchen and nuke something. Unpacking the delivery, I noticed they got my order wrong but I was so hungry, I ate it anyway. The restaurant called and asked if I got the write order and I told them that one item was wrong but I ate it. As it turned out, it was seventy five cents more than what I ordered and they had the gonads to send the same guy to collect it!

 

HERE IS A BITCH, SHE NOW HAS 1/2 OF A BUM


Plastic surgeon sucks out belly dancer's buttock

£12,000 damages for half-arsed liposuction
By Lester Haines → More by this author
Published Friday 16th March 2007 16:05 GMT

A German belly dancer who checked into hospital to have her thighs trimmed ended up with just one butt cheek after the plastic surgeon hoovered out her right buttock, Ananova reports.

Julia "Cleopatra" Meyer, 38, of Munich, said of her liposuction ordeal at the Berlin Charité hospital: "I had been unhappy with my saddlebags, the fat stored in the outer thigh area. Because of the local anaesthesia I did not realise what he was doing. When I saw afterwards that half of my bum was missing I almost fainted. It had been completely sucked away."

Unsurprisingly, the matter ended in court, where Meyer was awarded £12,000 damages against the unnamed private plastic surgeon. The court heard her career is dead and the poor woman "does not even dare to go to a swimming pool because she is ashamed of the way she looks".

A consultant at the Berlin Charité hospital chipped in his expert opinion, describing the arse reduction as a "grave error in treatment".

 

MY BITCH FOR TODAY

Police Arrest 7-Year-Old on Dirt Bike

BALTIMORE (AP) - Police arrested a 7-year-old boy, handcuffed him and hauled him down to the station house on a charge of riding a motorized dirt bike on a sidewalk.

Then, according to his mother, Gerard Mungo Jr. was handcuffed to a bench and interrogated before being released to his parents.

How the hell do you have half a gonad to hand cuff a freakin' 7 year old kid!? What kind of law-making bumhole would sanction something like that? They did it because he was black in a poor neighborhood with a dirt bike, and these racist bastards just wanted to start some crap. That horribly pisses me off.

 

I agree with Rikoshay.

Absolute crap. Those cops were retarded and should be jailed for racial profiling. Any other 7 YEAR OLD would have been warned and let go.

 

SOME THINK TO THINK ABOUT

Toddler infected by soldier father's smallpox vaccination...

CHICAGO (AP) - A 2-year-old Indiana boy and his mother contracted a rare and life-threatening infection from his soldier father's smallpox vaccination, according to a published report.

The boy and his mother were being treated in a specially ventilated room at the University of Chicago's Comer Children's Hospital, the Chicago Tribune reported Saturday.

The family's name and home town were not released at their request.

The boy developed a virulent rash over 80 percent of his body earlier this month after coming in contact with his father, who had recently been vaccinated for smallpox before he was to be deployed overseas by the Army, the paper said.

Physicians stressed that the boy was not suffering from smallpox, but from the related vaccinia virus which is used to convey immunity to the much deadlier disease. They said the infection was a rare condition called eczema vaccinatum, which has not been reported since at least 1990, when the military ended a previous program of smallpox vaccination. Smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980.

The military began smallpox vaccinations again in 2002 because of bioterrorism fears.

Doctors said the child suffered from eczema, which is a known risk factor for vaccinia infection. People with eczema are warned not to have close physical contact with the recently vaccinated because the condition allows the virus to enter the skin, they said.

The U.S. Defense Department and federal, state and local health authorities have been in daily contact with the hospital about the case. Health officials say there is no infection risk for the general population because the vaccinia virus can be spread only through close physical contact.

Nonetheless, Dr. Madelyn Kahana, the hospital's chief of pediatric intensive care, said staff members treating the boy and his mother were required to wear face masks and gloves, and that the two had been placed in a special room with negative air pressure, so all air would blow inward.

Kahana said the boy had been treated with a potent antiviral drug, as well as with an anti-vaccinia agent supplied by the CDC and the experimental drug ST-246, which was untried as a therapy in humans.

She said the boy appeared to be improving this week, but will probably lose 20 percent of his outer skin layer. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070317/D8NTSS3O0.html

 

I hope that little kid lives... my prayers go out to him and his family.

 

I've been gone from aD for almost 3 months now, but I'm back now. Coming back, I've seen some good things and some bad things that have changed.

First of all, I see that the moderators seem a little bit less strict and kinder, which is always nice. It makes it nice to not break one rule then get the boot.

But, most of the Addicts that were here when I left are gone now. I'm not sure why. aD just isn't the same place as it was a few months back. But, I'm going to continue to post and hopefully some of the old members will come back.

That's all I got for now LOL.

 

Not much to complain about today.

Welcome back jazo132.

 

Thanks. It's good to be back.

 

He's a frikkin mollusc alright http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/482953

Common mussel
Mytilus edulis

Phylum.... Mollusca ..Molluscs e.g. snails, slugs, mussels, cockles & clams

Class.... Pelecypoda ..Bivalves e.g. clams, cockles, mussels, oysters, and scallops

Recorded distribution in Britain and Ireland
Very common all around the coast of the British Isles, with large commercial beds in the Wash, Morecambe Bay, Conway Bay and the estuaries of south-west England, north Wales, and west Scotland.

Habitat information
Occurs from the high intertidal to the shallow subtidal attached by fibrous byssus threads to suitable substrata. Found on the rocky shores of open coasts attached to the rock surface and in crevices, and on rocks and piers in sheltered harbours and estuaries, often occurring as dense masses.

Description
The shell is inequilateral and roughly triangular in outline, however, shell shape varies considerably with environmental conditions. Shell smooth with a sculpturing of concentric lines but no radiating ribs. The ligament is inconspicuous. The shell colour varies, usually purple or blue but sometimes brown. Length varies, specimens usually ranging from 5 -10 cm although some populations never attain more than 2-3 cm, and the largest specimens may reach 15 -20 cm. Mytilus edulis may be confused with the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis.

Pulling these isn't hard at low tide (the usual time you find bottom feeders).. Now if he had said he had pulled a Limpet (a marine gastropod mollusc in the order Patellogastropoda with a flattened, cone-shaped shell.) I would be slightly more impressed. They take some skill to get with your bare hands and not a stone....
