Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

This torrent worked for me when the others wouldn't.

Thanks DX. It's started downloading. 4 peers & 16 seeds. Off to bed and see how it went come morning.

I'm cautiously optimistic... made it past the critical 57% mark. I'm at 87% (from mini). Be happy to try to try ysi with it, too, if folks are still looking.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

How long did it take you to upload yesterday P-C?

Many, many hours, but I was seeding a torrent at the same time, so that may have affected upload time. I'd say about ten hours.

Hmmm. I've got GF downloaded as .mpg but Quicktime doesn't recognize it. What's the format problem here?

Does Quicktime even play mpgs? That's for .mov files. Don't have you have Windows Media Player?

Don't have you have Windows Media Player?

Not on the iMac, no.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Then you should grab VLC, Hec.

New Yorker review is here; I'm impressed they picked The Inside to cover--they're few and far between with the TV reviews.

Okay, moron question (from a moron, not to morons): What exactly are we inside of? The FBI? Dark nights of the soul? I doan geddit.

Oh, look, they're talking about you.

Odd sample population, that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

No dice for me on ysi or making a winrar. Crashed computer.

Sorry, I tried. Off to shower and bed. Hope everyone gets to experience the GF joy one way or another.

Where do I grab it and what do I do with it when I have it in my grasp?

The fact that people volunteered?

eta really going now (ah, just like old times)
