Can this be true? Is Global Warming a hoax perpetrated by all those “peer reviewed” scientists? Tune in and read. I’ve supplied a tidbit. I’d like to think it is true because I’ve been a skeptic since almost day one and I’ve noted that the loony Owl Gore has gotten rich while NOT cutting his [...]

UK lawmakers officially announced the Digital Economy Bill intended to address issues identified by the Digital Britain Report. As expected it makes communications regulators at Ofcom responsible for curbing unauthorized P2P file sharing.

A team of researchers have turned to peer-to-peer...

The Escapist : News : The Pirate Bay Shuts Down They straight-up pulled an Obi-Wan. They were struck down, and now they live forever.
