Aren't many tracker sites already located overseas? I don't see how they can easily stop them.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I don't download tv shows to subvert a process, but if they schedule shows I want to see against each other
That's not even it for me. I'm DLing stuff that either is not aired in the US at all (Spooks, some BBC documentaries, stuff like that), or is being aired in advance in the UK or Canada and that I will watch/record when it airs in the US (Stargate).
Or that isn't being aired at all and isn't available on DVD (Max Headroom, Odyssey5).
Okay, once or twice I've downloaded stuff I deleted from the Tivo and wanted to make available to a friend (Lost, Joan of Arcadia). In neither event did the producers lose anything by it.
These guys aren't losing anything from me downloading.

Well, yeah, that's the other issue.

Consuela,
yes, actually I'm downloading "Spooks" too...
I plan to actually rent the DVDs of the shows I've downloaded anyway. I couldn't get throught "Deadwood" so I need subtitles when I watch it...so that's why I had to wait for the DVDs.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Anybody see this news item?
Toshiba today paved the way for 80GB iPods when it said it will ship an 80GB 1.8in hard drive in Q3 2005 - a year after it introduced the 60GB version that can currently to be found inside the iPod Photo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I saw that. But Q3 2005 is like five dog-years away.
But still, ND would only need two iPods to hold his music collection.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
DH and I just got call waiting (since he's working from home now), and have noticed an irritating quality -- if you don't pick up the call waiting, it just keeps ringing and ringing and ringing. The answering machine doesn't pick up, and the person on the other end never hears a busy signal. Our phone is an AT&T 2256/1256, and nothing in the manual seems to address this issue. Any ideas?
