    MangaGamer's password database hacked and leaked!

    This is actually funny. On my side, I'll just make a cynical comment that they (MG) totally deserved that bitchslap for producing horrible translations to the already crappy games and trying to mooch off even more money from people who actually buys those games. I don't have an MG account...

    Internet Crisis : between Legal & Piracy

    On that thought, how would sites like anime-sharing "comply with DMCA"? It's not like we have licences to the anime like crunchyroll to the point we can stream it, nor do we have any permission to "share" games as we do here. (For which, by the way, I thank you for uploading a large majority of...

    Internet Crisis : between Legal & Piracy

    This is actually pretty interesting considering the fact that I'm heavily dependent on Japanese Entertainment. So they're going to shut down forums that they have no rights over, and remove torrents that they didn't even create? All I can say is that Japan is just naive if they think they can...

    Be Very Careful at NYAA ...a major Trojan Attack underway in Hentai games and anime

    Re: Be Very Careful at NYAA ...a major Trojan Attack underway in both games and anime The thing I'm curious about is... How are they "injecting" said viruses onto the torrents? When are the viruses actually received? What does the "attacks" consist of? Just because there are "as-claimed" 70...

    Be Very Careful at NYAA ...a major Trojan Attack underway in Hentai games and anime

    Re: Be Very Careful at NYAA ...a major Trojan Attack underway in both games and anime Well, I can't perform any form of P2P sharing with my damned school internet, so I'm safe... In a sad way. brbcrying

    How2Debate

    Frankly, I'm too proud to even engage in such "modifications" to give myself a supposedly an "unfair advantage" in the debate. All the comments are copy-pasted AS IT IS (except for one part when the other party posted three comments in a row and I didn't want to put spoiler tags for all three of...

    How2Debate

    Thank you, FinalPyre! EDIT: Okay, so... Let's start another serious discussion. Quite recently, I put up a review for an eroge titled "Hatsuyuki Sakura". It was released on my birthday last year, and I had finally gotten to playing it since a lot of the people said it was good. Long story...

    I'm Truly Torn!

    Well, since you asked me to not joke, I'll take off my cynical mask and tell you the cold hard truth. Science, as everyone states, is probably the only route available. Nowadays, anything "non-science" is really considered a minor, and does not require anything too advanced, like a Master's...

    Chronic urticaria advice...

    I actually did go see a nurse practitioner who works at our school clinic, and even she said she has no idea. (Not to mention there are no signs of hives OR irritation in the area) Frankly, the suspicions above are her "suggestions", since we were pretty much throwing ideas around. It wasn't...

    what do u do to sleep???

    So I tried a different sleeping aid (since my body develops resistance to antihistamines really quickly), and want to recommend a chemical called "Melatonin" for people who are having trouble with sleeping. The one I use is a weak version--tablets of 10 mg, and it's very effective: I was knocked...

    Chronic urticaria advice...

    Thanks for the checkup. Right now, I'm suspecting that these so-called "hives" are actually simply because of too much body heat (although I'm not sure why it's localized to the upper leg area), or from dryness. I'll be utilizing air conditioning and Eucerin (Lotion) for a few days to see if...

    Chronic urticaria advice...

    Nope. I'm still getting hive-like symptoms around 11PM, which is really preventing me from sleeping. The current antihistamines have finally stopped being effective, so I'll probably have to hop over to the nearest CVS tomorrow get a stronger concentration (or a different kind) Contrary to...

    Unethical Use of Customer Data

    I understand your point, but please note that most of my speech is relative--if it's cold here in Philly, it's relative to the temperature I experienced back in northern Virginia--surrounded by mountains. Your government may not protect you against even identity thefts (or whatever we call...

    Question about death penalty

    Simply put, all I wanted to point out was that as long as you live humbly, act cynically, and trust no one, you're pretty much set to live by yourself. Similar to many of the articles you've provided, even a poptart is a weapon if eaten in the shape of a gun. I can probably tear a paper napkin...

    Chronic urticaria advice...

    Thanks for the advice. I guess I was exaggerating a bit with the "chugging drugs" part because I was just so annoyed with this itch X_x You may be right--it might clear up soon. Thankfully, I know I get the symptoms after eating shellfish, so I guess no more clam chowder for me (currently...

    Chronic urticaria advice...

    Hi guys, I'm hoping if anyone can help me with a problem. Right now, I have a condition called urticaria. It's more commonly referred to as "hives", and is usually caused by an allergy. It's those raised bumps that itch like mad when you get them, and for a lot of the healthy people, they...

    Unethical Use of Customer Data

    Point taken. Let me reiterate myself: Given the fact that an individual is given a choice to choose between a PC or a Mac, with no regards to his financial availability or bias towards either company, it is more likely for the individual choosing the PC to be more tech-savvy than the individual...

    Question about death penalty

    Great response. Hey, when I got my first speeding ticket, I wasn't read out these laws at all--probably because the officer was lazy, or I dunno. Could I have gotten away? Sure, but I didn't want to plead innocent because I have school on the trial. Regarding that exception this doesn't mean...

    Unethical Use of Customer Data

    You're right. It's creepy. The creepiest thing I remember is when I accessed Google Maps on a travel bus that has internet access (which, its mechanics, I have no idea how the hell that works), Google manages to locate me in my bus on the freaking highway that I'm traveling down on. That's...

    Question about death penalty

    I'd also be interested too. But being the cynical person I am, I'm going to make a couple of assumptions: 1) People won't know their laws (since you'd be surprised at the number of individuals who doesn't know what "Miranda Warning" is) 2) Considering how some states already have systems that...
