I mean seriously, why did Sony develop Home? What a waste of money, they should have been spending their money on fixing their substandard security!

Well duh.

Amazon MP3 store doesn't work here.

"Please note that AmazonMP3.com is currently only available to US customers."

 

[Choc]

well thats interesting

how the heck did i buy a song hmm

let me do what i did last time and see what happens

edit: hmm they fixed the loophole

it used to be if you went to amazon found a song hit buy mp3, it would proceed past the IP/Country check

jambo am cry

Might head over to the JB near my house, the one in the city only had a handful of albums that were all $30, save for The Downward Spiral.

 

[Choc]

See this is where it gets fucking stupid


at amazon i can buy the CD of music, have it shipped to my house and use it

but digital? fuck no

whats the fucking difference. Man licencing is ridiculous. (and yes i know sony causes this as well)

 

[jambo]

Maybe you were on a US VPN or something else for work the last time you bought a song.

nah i remembered my loop hole

you had to be logged in. Find the song in amazon.com (not mp3 site) hit buy mp3 and it would skip all the checks

Filesonic doesn't allow public downloads any more, you can only download files you have uploaded yourself.

run android phone apps on pc

 

[Rahk]

Can you just create a US address in your account and buy MP3s that way? You could with ebooks when I tried last and I also bought Saints Row 3 that way. No VPN was required.

Always good when at the start of your second week of your internship and you're being told you're 2 weeks ahead of time and the feature you're working on will more than likely be going live at the end of next week. Pretty fuckin keeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

My friend says OKCupid is a bit of alright, but she's... well, female, so that probably skews things massively.

Massively is putting it nicely. Though on the flip side they have to put up with alot of crap.

I just found out Filesonic is now gone too. Fuck, I had so much shit from there on my jdownloader list. It's the beginning of the end guys. I can only imagine Mediafire, Rapidshare, 4shared, Fileserve, whatever the heck you use is next to come.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Its because Bailey is an awesome captain, and will probably bat further down the order. For a few t20s, who really cares though.

His batting is no better than White though, which is the main problem.

My main concern is that it is only 4 matches until the 20/20 world cup and they want to give him his first top level match and put him in as captain? Seems risky.

edit: anyone got gaming podcasts i can listen to online? my ipod is nearly dead and i want to save it for the train ride home.

YouTube and Idle Thumbs have collided to help ease your work day! (as long as your work hasn't banned YouTube like mine)

Batman Vs. TMNT

My main worry is that it will be a MP focused reskin. I loved the first two games but Rocksteady deserve a shot at making their own IP. If they make a killer TMNT game than I will be over the moon but anticipation is high, if they retread too much they will get torn to shreds by anyone who isn't a TMNT fan (don't forget, these things need to sell to make a profit).

Was looking at grabbing some NIN albums. I got The Downward Spiral on my lunchbreak for $9.99 at JB and just downloaded The Slip for free and Ghosts I-IV for $5.

The other MP3 links on the nin website all link to Amazon MP3.

You could just come around to my place and we could sink some beers and discuss how awesome Trent Reznor is.

The best place to find older music is on eBay. I have found tons of old albums that I can't get in our country with shitty music variety now that CD stores just sell fucking DVD's. Even picked up all 3 Full Scale releases for $20 total!

Actually I can't get into my eBay account. Can't even find my ID. Hope I haven't been hacked or something.

Sorry for the long delay, weekend and all

Steam ID? N/A Join up! If you make up a wishlist you may even find people gifting you games all the time. Especially those of us with leftovers from the cheevo hunts. At the very least you will get given all the Half Life games pretty quick!
Thoughts on SOAP? Sexual Offender Apprehension Program or Snakes on a Plane??? You said you don't play Modern Warfare so that makes sense. Otherwise Google Soap is the baddest moutherfarker on the planet (aside from Pimp Price of course)
Do you Kooka with Country Cookies? Haven't tried them yet Try and grab the cherry ripe ones if they are available! Just melt in your mouth.
Red Rock Deli chips are the best chips. Confirmed just don't ask me to pick a favourite flavour. Brofiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist! Honey Mustard or Sweet Chili would have to take it. Salt & Vinegar are damn fine too.
Sexy: Karen Gillan? Ricki Lee? Missy Higgins? Yes, yes and only with long hair Long hair? You are a lengthist! Plenty of chicks look hot with short hair, although long hair does look incredible most of the time. Short certainly does suit Higgins. Also most indie chicks look best with short-medium length hair.
Have you picked up a copy of the highly acclaimed 3rd album by Enter Shikari called A Flash Flood Of Colour yet? Only $20 at your local JB HiFi or available with FREE postage online! no Why not? It is only $20 for the album of the year!

Settle down man. Just a shake up with everyone running scared at what happened to the Megaupload dudes. Same thing happened with torrents. Give it a month or so and more providers will fill the gaps. Cut off the head of the snake and 3 more appear. Fileserve and a few others have also moved out of business.

Study shows racist views link to car flags

People who fly Australia Day flags on their cars tend to express more racist attitudes than others without flags, according to research findings at The University of Western Australia

Rapidshare and Mediafire and smart enough to keep ahead of the pace. Everything else though will need to restructure and work out a way to avoid getting into the Megaupload/TPB style mess. Filesonic, Hotfile and Fileserve have just realised that they would be fucked if the FBI stepped in on them at a moments notice. They will most likely start up again with full filesharing, after all that is a huge money earner for them. They may be under a new name or in a new location with a new system but file sharing will not stop until the majority don't NEED them.

As much as I hate (and don't touch) iTunes it is a great example of how to make the system work. Same with Steam. Netflicks et al will come into a greater age of market share once internet speeds and download quotas improve across the globe.

Make it easy to use and price it at a impulse buy level and you will find sales skyrocketing.

People are morons.

Don't get me started on the aussie flags on cars.

Also, just looked at ticket prices for the Aus open mens final, $325+ and I thought rugby union games were expensive. They are sold out either way though.

Fuck Perth and it's ridiculous weather. Our lowest maximum until at least Sunday (as far as BOM predicts on its site) is 36. Australia day is 40. Gah. I enjoy Summer and all, but this Summer has been shit.

I dunno, I find it pretty silly. Windows 8 will have a tonne of achievements next.

That's my 900/1000 cheevo right there. Unless it's just a matter of disconnecting my NAS, in which case it'd be easier than The Last Airbender cheevos on 360.

Nope, never used the service before. I kinda figured it wouldn't because of copyright issues, but wanted to check.

Possible, but it's a right cunt. From memory, I logged into Amazon.com, bought a gift voucher for the exact amount, sent it to an alternate US account, connected to VPN, logged in, bought MP3s, downloaded Amazon MP3 downloader, downloaded, self-flagellated with a cat-o'-nine tails because that was less painful than the experience I had in trying to get music from Amazon.

HTH.

Fuck, I remember when Oink was closed. I had such an awesome ratio and BOOM, all gone. Such an awesome site for finding new music, too. Would kill for an equivalent site to pop up, but I think they're all a bitch to get invited to

I need some people to submit volunteer to provide me with some Log files from my little Steam Cat application. Basically I have it loading all various pieces of data I require, minus a couple small things, but I need some others to run it and save an xml log file and return it to me for some error / verification purposes.

Also a bit of extra testing doesn't hurt. I have suppressed all the save functions until I am happy with them, so you can't damage your data/steam install etc.

Anyone interested, chuck me a PM.

It would help.

Is it just me or are the commentators more biased then usual. They have so many good things to say about hewitt, even though he's getting thrashed.

 

[reptilescorpio]

So turns out RF Armageddon is mundane and repetitive. Only so many Dead Space off cuts I can magnet into a friggin wall before I wonder what is the fucking point. You just trudge on and on and on and on! Fuck the human (mars? I don't know the story is all over the place) race I just want to take a break and maybe shoot some pool or something on Mars. Like Total Recall! Remember that movie you were originally a fantastic rip off of? And blowing holes in walls! Bah, whatever!

It would help.

Just came across this music video. The music isn't my thing, but the video is very cool.

I couldn't think how best to say why you should watch it without ruining it, so I'll past the video description.

"The video tells the story of a group of highschool kids ready for teenage mischief. They break into the local swimming pool intending a session of innocent nightswimming, in an awkward climate of romance and apprehension. What happens next is for you to discover here. NSFW."​

Video link here.

Don't read the spoiler until after you've seen it.
