There’s a new design, and a kick-ass new logo thanks to BeskOne at BigRedSquirrel. All the old posts from the old site have been imported but comments didnt make it. The old site will stay up just cause I’m lazy. Look for new posts coming soon! -CGP fo Life-

You pick the caffeinated beverage, it gives you an estimate on how many it will take to end your sad little existence.

“It would take 120.63 cups of Brewed Coffee to put you down.”

Less than a week after the Sweeds raided their servers under US pressure, The Pirate Bay is back and serving torrents! The servers are now in the Netherlands. I expect this is just the biginning of the war. This should get very interesting.

And in true TPB fashion they have posted some interesting stats:

Just some stats…

… here are some reasons why TPB is down sometimes – and how long it usually takes to fix:

Tiamo gets *very* drunk and then something crashes: 4 days

Anakata gets a really bad cold and noone is around: 7 days

The US and Swedish gov. forces the police to steal our servers: 3 days

.. yawn.

Beauty and Chaos is a really cool web-based white-board of sorts. At any given time you can just start drawing, as the 20 or so other connected people do the same. Of course you get idiots scribbling over your art or drawing offensive pictures, but just refresh and everything begins anew.

At the bottom of every post is a “Bookmark This” link. Clicking it will take you straight to Socializer which in turn will let you post the link straight to your favorite social bookmarking site. So start Digging and del.icio.us…um..ing? Well you get the idea.

Macrovision has a long history of being evil toward consumers in the name of copy-protection. Their half-assed attempts at DRM have always had flaws and rather than come up with something better they have decided to go after the little guys.

VersionTracker.com is reporting that Macrovision is demanding they stop linking to MacTheRipper.

“We have been contacted by Macrovision, who claims this violates their property and are threatening to sue us if we don’t remove the links to it. We are checking with our legal advisors to find out what our options are. -VersionTracker Editors”

The best way to get your copy of MacTheRipper at the moment is via BitTorrent.

After years and years of refusing, Los Angeles based KROQ has finally started streaming their content online. But as always, the still managed to screw it up. Not only is the stream based in Windows Media and super low quality (54 kbps), but the site is so badly designed it does not work on anything except windows. After trying the site in every browser I could (Safari, Shiira, Opera, Firefox, ect. ect.) I gave up and found the stream’s url in the source.

“http://kroq-live.wm.llnwd.net/kroq_live”

UPDATE – 2/22/05
Looks like they have changed URL’s:

“http://bdcast-infinity-kroq-fm.wm.llnwd.net/bdcast_infinity_kroq-fm”

Drop that URL into Windows Media Player for mac and you too can hear The Kevin & Bean Show.
