    Nice.

    This will make my job much easier. Less customers complaining about slow computers.

    Limewire. I remember when I was a fool and used it for a while. Fond memories of the only virus I ever had, and downloading Limewire Pro from the free version...

    They didn't really think the whole 'pay for pro' thing through did they...

    Justice is done.

    Mind you, take note: I haven't been able to find horse porn anywhere else on the internet since. And that's a serious blow to my daily routine and overall welfare.

    There is a Beastiality forum out there. Quite suprisingly popular. A forum I'm on were in a table against them for use and such, and they were just ahead of us. (This is a GTA forum :p)

    Can computer repair unions sue the RIAA for financial damages to their industry?



    The financial damages caused by Limewire to the entertainment industry is negligible at best and only consists of consumers not buying media.

    The financial damage caused to the computer repair industries is non-negligible as many of our tech support calls can be traced to this one program. Removal of this product removes potential costumers.

    DAMN, I'm only slightly dissapointed since I can no longer make money off the feeble ones who used limewire.

    I think I tried it once. Instantly regretted it and uninstalled.

    My answer was to ask more gullible associates to track down files for me, and save to memory stick. This was at least until I got my laptop + uTorrent.

    Frostwire still would work I think, because Gnutella is still up, basically what they did was catch the drug dealer not bust the crack house.

    This is the thing with the internet. Each time you think it can't surprise you anymore, it manages to.

    If you don't see me for a while, it's because I'm over yonder, trolling my heart out.

    edit - no, I can't even troll that, it's too much. Too much, entirely, to bear.

    edit2 - cats, man. Cats! How?! Oh, the humanity...
