As copyright maximalists pointed out regarding Jammie Thomas, bittorrent is a two way transfer and you upload as you download. If the RIAA is torrenting music, then they are de facto authorizing sharing.

My Pie in the Sky Job

My Pie in the Sky job when I was younger was to Teach and Write; as in be a Professor with a doctorate in English Literature and finally write the long form version of the Novel that I have been writing in my head for 3 decades.

Then I discovered that the maximum age difference I can tolerate between myself and students is about 5 years, after which pint anyone younger is “a little shit” and anyone older is “functionally illeterate and better served as coffin filler”

This somewhat prevents me from seriously entering into instruction as a profession. Don’t get me wrong; I love to lecture and would kill for a job that allowed me to just stand in front of a room and lurch into long-winded diatribes on various subjects. I just couldn’t do it as a “teacher” as my innability to reach on an intellectual level those I don’t consider my peers would prevent me from feeling effective.

Some of this is satire, some is not. Enjoy

just set your MAC address to 00:DE:AD:BE:EF:00 at install time and you avoid all the cloning issues. i make sure that is my router address all the time. no problems of forgetting what the MAC should be. either that or 00:BA:AD:F0:0D:00 also works. bad food and dead beef are easily memorizable.

Really, Really? Doing this will break the network… don’t do this
