[00:00] so, I accidentally got re-directed briefly to myspace.com , and it looks really strange now (better than the classic myspace pages) [00:11] ugh [00:13] myspace classic was like geocities 2 [00:57] so, uh, this is going to sound really strange [00:57] but I think I've found some very shady business going on, involving affiliate marketers, crapware distributors, and the RIAA [00:57] multiple offshore shell companies, many different company names, and possible corruption [00:57] that is a true shock [00:57] anyone up for doing some research? [00:58] I am completely taken by surprise that the RIAA would be involved in such things [00:58] context: it's iMesh Inc./Discordia Ltd./MusicLab LLC/KoyoteSoft/a few other companies [00:58] the shitware distributors that took over shareaza, bearshare, imesh, lphant, etc [00:58] also lol [01:03] anyway, anyone have some spare time to look into things and try to find more info? [01:03] these guys left trails all over the internet, but it's a lot of work to spit through it [01:09] uhm [01:09] chronomex: [01:09] joepie91: [01:09] remember Viber? that app that became notorious for sending off your address book? [01:09] guess who made it... [01:09] promise, it's not me [01:09] rasputin: [01:09] um, riaa? [01:10] iMesh guys [01:10] shocker [01:10] Wow [01:10] which explains why it's incorporated on the same damn Cyprus shell address [01:10] as the rest of all that crap [01:10] It's like we're in 2003 all over again [01:10] how many damn crapware products do these guys have [01:11] Advice: Blast this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE47er6qnqg [01:11] Drop at 1:01 [01:11] in other news, http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/19/news/companies/sunscreen-recall-flames/ [01:12] Second drop at 2:04 [01:12] in other news, energizer makes sunscreen [01:12] Not for much longer, I bet [01:22] speaking of which [01:22] a certain cleaning liquid that I frequently used was recalled here, earlier this year [01:23] "it was incorrectly labeled, and can cause extreme burns" [01:23] yeah, no shit, I'd been aware of that for the full 2 years you've been selling it guys [01:23] -_- [01:23] anyway, result is that it's not sold anywhere anymore, which sucks. [01:23] energine? [01:24] my dad loved that shit [01:24] turns out it was perchloroethane or something [01:24] oh, it was naphtha [01:25] specifically alpha-TRICHLOROETHANE [01:25] nah [01:25] cheap stuff at the local discount store [01:26] no idea whwat was in it [01:26] what* [01:26] but the fact you could unclog drains with it [01:26] was somewhat of a hint as to its nature [01:26] lol [01:26] stuff was pure magic though, could clean *anything* [01:26] huh. [01:26] bit like cillit bang, but more extreme [01:26] if that rings a bell [01:28] hm nope [01:31] well, looks like iMesh founder is still involved in iMesh [01:32] and all the crapware now [01:32] with a gazillion companies trailing behind it [01:47] oh shit [01:47] looks like I just opened a whole new can of worms :( [01:47] chronomex: they also seem to be behind shady antivirus software [02:58] http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=AOtOTUVHVP8&NR=1 [04:54] so I'm asking someone out for the first time tomorrow [04:54] and I'm inexplicably nervous [04:54] damn brain :( [04:58] if it makes you feel better the only two girls I've dated turned out to be lesbians [04:59] lol [04:59] I... suppose that makes me feel better? [04:59] Except [04:59] I'm asking a dude [04:59] so maybe he'll turn out to be straight [05:00] ...wait what [05:00] >_> [05:00] <_< [05:02] I get the feeling I'm missing something important [05:04] oh [05:04] I'm [05:04] uh [05:04] an occasional switch hitter [05:06] sounds like a boring job [05:08] :P [05:08] I'm going to pretend you understood the euphemism [05:08] :3 [05:09] actually I didn't [05:09] bisexuality is nothing to be ashamed of. I wish you luck, good sir. [05:09] I know what you mean but...occasional switch hitter? [05:09] what a weird way to say you screw guys and girls. [05:11] hahahaha [05:11] nintendud: thanks <3 [05:11] no problem, bro [05:13] just don't wimp out! :) [05:14] heh [05:14] I'll try [05:14] do better than try [05:15] do [05:15] or do not [05:15] there is no try [05:15] except when you're asking a guy if you can screw him [05:15] then there's a try. [05:16] as long as you can convince yourself not to make a big deal out of it if he says no / is straight, you can't lose. [05:28] BlueMax: hahahahahaha [05:29] nintendud: well, we've slept together [05:29] (as in, literally) [05:29] and we kinda kissed the other day [05:29] as a spur of the moment thing [05:29] so [05:30] sounds promising [05:31] Twitter> @GeneralCyb0rg: How are we a Christian nation but allow the devil to roam free by allowing gayness.? [05:31] nintendud: yeah [05:31] and he's been skyping me all night [05:31] about how much he likes me [05:31] but [05:31] he's smashed off his ass [05:31] so I'm discounting most of that for now [14:43] Hopefully I won't disconnect so bloody much. For some reason out of all the v6 addresses my client would always choose the Cape Town server which chose this really spastic and unreliable route. [17:31] This is interesting, restoration of Star Trek TNG bridge: http://newstarship.com/ [19:45] * SketchCow lets underscor wake up to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNHuI0Pw0m8 [19:46] Or http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp - either works [20:46] I'm having trouble getting my Osborne I portable computer working. When I try to boot from the floppy disk it makes a loud noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEQceqLiKAE [21:15] Here's my bs thought of the day [21:15] Hell Rider, the movie with Nick Cage. [21:18] In the beginning the whole thing that gets him going down the road to damnation is that his dying father gets a reprieve from his cancer. [21:18] He comes out, full bodied health, and then is killed that night on the loop. [21:18] And you're supposed to go "tricked nick cage!" [21:18] And I'm all "wow, I'd love if my dad who loved something so much went out on such a triumph" [23:20] arkhive: it's in drive a right? and you've put the floppy all the way in and securely pushed the latch down? [23:21] arkhive: no no no no it says drive a for a reason [23:22] you got the latch bit right
