Well, fuck.
Anyone got an invite for one of the other sites for me? ::bats eyes pleadingly::
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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!

Demonoid is down right now -- they say it's for technical reasons -- but when it comes back up, it's the site that I use almost exclusively (for comic books, though, so I can't say how good it is for other media, though ISTR they're pretty timely with TV and whatnot).
I can't remember if Demonoid requires invites any more. If they do, I should have a handful, b/c I've been with them for quite a while.
I'll keep an eye on them and keep all y'all posted.
Is Pirate Bay still up and running?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wikipedia says:
On 17 November 2009, after a period where the tracker was offline, The Pirate Bay indicated that it would be permanently shut down with the hope that users will move fully away from trackers and adopt DHT and Peer Exchange as their primary source for locating peers.
I don't have any invites for my service because I can never keep my upload ratio high enough, no matter how early I get on the bandwagon. I don't get it.

On the iPod Touch front:
Apple has the 32G for $269, free shipping from the Web site.
MacMall has the 32G for $268, with $3.99 shipping. MacMall has a bunch of other related deals, though, like a free (after rebate) skin, a free (after rebate) AC/USB power adapter, etc.
I think I'm going to go with the MacMall deal.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'd take a demonoid invite if you have one, Tep.

Cool. I'll let all y'all know when it's back up and running.

All is well that ends in pizza.
It's kind of odd that such a site didn't have backups of their essential code.

I have two invites to tvtorrents.com. They're very particular about the ul/dl ratio. I have to give you some of my credits to get started, and if you don't play nicely, they can cancel your account.
Edit to get the URL right.
Edit #2: That didn't come out very enthusiastic. I'm happy to share dl credits with anyone who wants an account, and the invitations rebuild over time, so if you want one, just let me know. They only do TV, and they're best for current and recently past shows. No movies, games, books, music, or software.

Is my laptop supposed to be losing power when I am using it plugged in?

No, sj, it's not. Are you sure it's plugged in everywhere? I ask because mine had a two part cord, and sometimes the middle wiggles loose a bit.
