Jail for file sharers more likely?

Jail (that's gaol in ye olde real English) seems more likely for folks convicted of illicit file sharing.

Re: Big Thread of Spam Bots

Hey, Softkiller , just a little tip for the future. You'll look less bot like if your first post in a forum isn't the first in a new topic and begins with the words "I agree with you". BTW, I'm not interested in buying twitter followers. Your post has been removed. Batster, please remove t...

Re: Browser Wars!

I'm still sticking with Firefox. ;) Me too. Also, as I've been experimenting a little with Firesheep , I'd most definitely recommend installing the HTTPS Everywhere extension, especially for those people that use public WiFi a lot. It's pretty terrifying how simple it is to get your cookies "s...

HP and the BT vaccine

It looks like BitTorrent has a serious problem. Hewlett Packard. HP have developed a "vaccine" to rid troubled networks of supposedly anti-social programs such as BT. You can read about what the vaccine is, how it works and how effective it is over at TorrentFreak . I can imagine what will...

Re: forums.cricketmx.com DNS problem resolved

Battye - All day today I've been having trouble with the forum. I can click around the site as much as I like as long as I start from www.cricketmx.com rather than forums.cricketmx.com.
