Im impressed with tankless hot water-solar just wasnt an option for it but it has cut gas therms by 40%--central AC still is the power hog but that and CFL's..amazing how effeciency downgrades the value of what you have to put up to get the rest offline. Almost completely coal and nuke free ....

Just wondering how many here utilize solar panels,wind turbines,H2 gens and reduce power consumption through CFL's and other devices.I use solar(1.5Kw) and reduce through CFL's and tankless W.heating.Anyone else use green power?

Actually that was Clinton going after OBL.It was called operation Infinite Reach. The rethuglicans spinned so effectively that now,in popular culture, it is regarded as clinton deflecting from the Lewinsky BJ.It makes sense though because rethugs have no idea how to keep this country protected from basically anything. Global Warming and CO2 causing catastrophic floods?Drill more oil! Terrorists attack the U.S.?Retaliate by attacking a country that has nothing to do with it !Someone else ACTUALLY protecting us or taking our country in a better direction?Attack them! If it does not serve republicants self-interest or some corporate bottom-line,it does not serve. Logic,morality,the right thing to do,reality,truth....laughing.

Just a question but if an occupying force,say iranians flew in, said they were here to help us get rid of george bush and ended up killing most of your neighbors with errant artillery,shut off all available fuel,electricity,running water and food supply?Almost 700,000 iraqis demonstrated for free elections before bremers 100 rules doctrine BS and they were shot at,leaders threatened with incarciration and supporters publicly ridiculed as "terrorist sympathizers".After all that Bremer publicly said "we are not going to let the iraqis elect some mullah." Me? I'd pick up an AK. Zarqawi bad.Iraq war worse.Bad idea.No threat.Wheres osama,guy who hit pentagon 3 miles from my house...saddam wasnt involved in 9/11 if people want a leader that follows through with war plans awesome,hold the leader to that.Not create more osamas/zarqawis by attacking an innocent nation and then saying(about osama) "dead or alive" and then "dont know where he is and hes not a priority."

Strange but i dont see why DS9 gets a better rep than Voyager.Really hated the parallel"bizarro world" leftovers from the original series that was weak to begin with.Dunno DS9 just seemed like a run on sentence.DUDE!Dax's symbiant is gonna die!No wait that bug is gonna die again!Garrick the real crafty tailor who was ex-cia/obsidian order or IS HE?Hmmm *rubs chin*.After awhile it was well thats too friggin bad let the symbiant eat shit and garrick can squirrelmonkey with whoever he wants to.And a magical wormhole?If you are going to nitpick spacial probabilities thats a really good one to rip to pieces. And saw some stuff on voyager always in good shape?All of season 5 was basically about finding dilithium because the ship was in putter mode almost the entire season.Species 8472,fluidic space,Q inserts,the DOCTOR(man,cmon!),SEVEN OF NINE,the hirogen----frankly it was good to get away from the alpha quadrant,see new species and see what a lone ship from the federation would do to make it w/o backup. Man, i dont know actually how you could make the show any better and is by far my favorite trek series. Have absolutely no clue why people liked DS9,at all.

We will prevail becuase as you say stopping progress is impossible. Human Beings will always strive to leap forward it's our very nature. The problem is we have an organization run by a bunch of old schoolers. Instead people like myself WHO ARE WILLING TO LISTEN to the users who have a vast treasure trove of knowledge so that it can work. Everyone can come out a winner the industry the consumer. But i just dont see it happening with people sitting in positions of power who are only there to secure a juicy retirement. WE NEED YOUNGER PEOPLE WORKING AT THE MPAA PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM Good point but my finger is pointed directly at the Bush Administration for creating the atmosphere for this type of fascism to flourish.MPAA can fuck themselves and all their new found "power" but it will dry up like water in the sahara.For every action,you know the rest. It isnt old school however,this is carefully planned criminal activity to do one thing,bleed the populace for every fucking cent while the top 2% drive Jags and sip 7&7's in Beverly Hills. I absolutely guarantee you that if Gore rightfully took the helm this type of heavy-handed bullshit would not be happening.Not because he is of a diffrent generation but because he would not have created a war atmosphere where battle and domination was the only answer. Through intimidation and jurisprudence rigging(how many seats on benches have been replaced with repub meat puppets?) not only the oil industry but recording and other ass backward organizations have been given the green light to terrorize.Wanna defeat terrorism? Find osama bin forgotten and send bush and his entire family to prison.While you are at it,have jenna and her sister neutered and spayed.Once we get rid of the combatant culture,society will change back to where it should be...hopeful and looking forward to cool stuff like colonizing Mars and further looking for life on Titan,etc... Seriously though,to anyone reading ask yourself this,under Clinton did you feel like this country was looking ahead and we were on the road to progress and compare that to what is now under Bush.Any difference?To me it is night and day.To me there is a very dark cloud over America,like pigpen's dustcloud marring the landscape of a country just 6 years ago i was proud to be a citizen of.

I hear you and as an american who loves this country all i can say is *please stand by* as we are currently experiencing difficulties due to a shitty president and cabinet that is full of pussified retards.This is a great country but man oh man is it being flushed down the toilet...all of this in the name of fear.The guy who hit us is still walking around probably smoking opium in a cave and laughing his ass off just watching american civil liberties get stomped on all in the name of him. Then we get thrown this colossal pile of horseshit about iraq and how its millions of unemployed,NATO sanctioned,starving people are a threat to us. Well diebold and the 35% here who couldnt come up with a brain cell in a mind factory took control and this kind of shit is the result. Corporations here are now absolutely unabashed about how they fuck people over and their attitude towards europe is just an extension of their thuggery here.Bush is 100% pro-corporate and almost every law concerning them just does not apply anymore. I could go on the internet and show documents to the FCC about clearchannel violations of small stations franchise rights and they would absolutely ignore it. Same across the board but this is the template--rape iraq for all its worth and if other corporations in other sectors can have fun while it lasts....they will and are. I know P2P has been an issue for awhile but they werent seeing the real gains they are now.Favorable lawsuits,pitiful penalties(if any) for their own MULTI -TRILLION DOLLAR lawless behavior,no oversight..on and on.... This is a perfect time for them to try and act bold in regards to the internet but tthere one thing that stops them.ALWAYS. That is the spirit of the internet.It was born of a desire militarily at first, to share and fragment data so that in case of catastrophic event,the world would not be communication-less and shut down due to centralization.That spirit has lived on and is something the MPAA and all the other corporate,mindless retards will never grasp and in its evolution by itsself is why they will never get what they want.There are over 29000 ports to choose from and every new protocol creates new possibilities to share files.. want to shut down P2P?Fine well go to usenet and ftp.Wanna shut that down?Fine well go to e-mail and proxy porting.Wanna battle that?Well go to encrypted VPN's where if you are even caught sniffing,YOU are fined and hassled. And during all that time,watch your market share fall as more and more people get sick of your intrusive bullshit,stop buying a penny's worth of your product and actually spur new competitive enterprises that topple your empire of mirrors and dogshit with a fucking digital camcorder.Raise your movie rates,please do. Maybe that way movie theatres will dump your effect driven fluff for homegrown movies that have substance and thought provoking merit. Maybe that way shows like Firefly will last 10 seasons instead of one. Maybe that way we will have more than the choice of 15 actors rotated on a per film basis who i wouldnt talk to in real life if they were GIVING ME MONEY.(Hint:see gene roddenberry and star trek for how to cast something) So keep it up but SEE:this forums poll you fucking whiteknuckle scumbags...the more you try to fight filesharing,the more you will create competition for yourselves.

Saw some old responses from pirate bay to dreamworks. THAT is what you like to see. As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe. Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here. For your information, no Swedish law is being violated. Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium, will result in a) a suit being filed for harassment b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for sending frivolous legal threats. It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are fucking morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons. Please also note that your e-mail and letter will be published in full on http://www.thepiratebay.org. Go fuck yourself. Polite as usual, anakata

I had a nice, detailed response to this that was lost when my friggin mouse fell and closed my browser. ARGH!!! So, let me try again, and preface this with "all due respect" :) Anyway, the crux of it was, how is this any different from tape-trading? Many musical artists who have made it big on tape-trading/fan distributed music are now totally against it (Metallica comes to mind). I think it all comes down to money, and the big-wigs want more. And your argument is flawed; copyright has nothing to do with someone getting a free copy of this or that. Copyright was (and still is) related to ownership of an idea. For exapmle, as a musican, I can't go and steal riffs from "Don't Stop Believin" and try to make money off of them. THAT's what copyright laws are for: protecting concepts and ideas for artists so other people can't use them in their own works. All these lawsuits are nothing more than the corporations trying to make up for the bad singings they've made over the past ten years and haven't recouped on. If I make a copy of Mariah's new album, she is still protected from me trying to use her lastest dance-fest, whether the compnay gets paid or not. It's the getting paid part that is a different story. The record companies/movie studios are trying to use "copyright infringment" as a scare tactic to get money. Nothing more. They can call it what ever they want, but copyright infringment? No, not true. Ah man last post before i go ballistic but ill say that when Metallica turned into whiny schoolgirls over napster that was the last time i ever bought something of theirs.Their vehement pussery was so over the edge i couldnt believed i actually listened to their shit for as long as i did.

Right but what is needed here is a separation of movies and t.v. episodes.If movies are evil now then cool-shelve that and keep TNG and the rest online.This is stuff that people have seen MULTIPLE times and ill guarantee people have paid into again multiple times and just want desktop copies.Some of the series here like SAAB, the industry couldnt care less about.If they did they would be on DVD...seriously man,TV SHOWS,god this is so friggin overbearing and friggin stupid its stapid. Thought is this though,if the movies are gone,its no longer a MPAA matter and Paramount,other distributors would have to file their own pherengal hassle suits?

That doesnt make sense though,say i have no cable just a tv that gets nbc,abc and cbs. I watch t.v. and hey i like a show they produced so i watch it.Its, i dont know,space hell 3000.I already watched all the commercials and all their crap inbetween so advertisers got their 2.99 because i saw it on t.v when the show ran..2 years go by and bummer the corps who sell tampons are discontinuing because scifi people dont buy maxipads.Neilsens arent great so the show is pulled.Few years go by and i say hey! what was that show?HMMMMM ok yeah space hell 3000 i want to see that again.Sci-fi channel doesnt have it,its not on dvd...where do i go?Of course!google!I then find niteshdw has it and i can d/l it--now how in the HELL are they being cheated by that? People dont STOP watching t.v. because they can get it on the internet--id say by and far most do it for re-run factor.Its networks own fault that they dont have a NBC2 that runs pilots they cancelled 24/7 or sci fi shows--look at sci fi channel--dont know who owns it but that channel is macking because it fills a niche ignored.Their own fault and trying to punish us for it or lock us away from content they were PAID to bring us?They already got their advertising $ and star trek?holy shit there are rides in vegas now that paramount gets cash from and what about syndication--leasing viewing rights of star trek to sci-fi and spike?Cmon man they want not only 250 zillion dollars they want 252 and 59 cents.

http://isohunt.com/ isohunt replies, hope nite joins them if he gets paperwork.Anyone know if things will be back up here or is it offline for good?

This pisses me off.Fucking completely.Man we have ALL already paid for these shows through basic cable subscriptions.Most of the stuff here or at least what i d/l and seed is NETWORK shows.Shit that airs on t.v. for free to most with a friggin antenna and definitely to all with the most basic cable package.TRY to find {space:above and beyond }on the net for pay.I couldnt but i found it seeded here.Some of these shows,like Firefly,SAAB are ones that the assholes at the MPAA (A-Hole executives) deem to cancel and NEVER release on dvd. Fuckin assholes what are they trying to do?Absolutely alienate their market?This makes me want to never go to a movie or pay for a rental ever again just on principle.Places like hotline and kazaa i can see (which are now nothing more than virus farms)so maybe software,seas of movies but THIS PLACE? You have got to be fucking kidding me. So any MPAA fucker lurking,i dont speak for nite,i dont even know him but hear it loud,YOU SUCK ASS and have reached way beyond reason in hassling this site.Go away and take your kissass Ferrari with you,fuckin luggage farmer. Nite,laffin im sure you dont want my endorsement or backing but do not let these scumbags roll over your site...you are doing a service for some who have already paid for these shows and just want to find some of the more obscure ones that the Massive Pussies And Assholes dont have the balls to keep on the air.Fight! And if this is just network outage,ignore everything i said.
