Loved both Olli Olli games on the Vita. Fun times.

Is it really dead? I used a mirror just yesterday...

Oh, sorry to hear that. DS9 gets pretty good later on - especially the "middle" is great, testing out the limits of the world/starfleet ethics. I think it's my favorite trek... (second being TNG, watched that growing up). Maybe give DS9 another chance and just jump in somewhere after Season 1...

Thanks! Helpful for me, I'm really not into trailers blasting from my speakers when I browse (on my 360 lol).

Courses on picking up women? Avoid!

Ease of access I imagine... go to one place, find what you were searching for, have great downspeed - all in very little time/with very little effort.

Again: That's just hearsay - I'm a lowly plebs who torrents.

I'm not on Usenet, but what you need to consider is that you will pay a really small sum compared to what you can find (and then download at a high speed). Your comparison to streaming services is therefore inaccurate (because there you're going to find only a very limited amount of content at a higher price).

Maybe because YouTube isn't a good option if you're looking for good audio quality (same for Bandcamp's free streams). OP didn't specify though.

I can't believe these are the times we live in. The services of the Internet Archive are invaluable for scholars and students alike. No library can afford all the printed books/journals or licenses needed for an adequate approach to most topics. And to be honest, shadow libraries are also much needed when publishers lock away vital knowledge (which was often gained through support from public grants).

This seems just another example of how capitalism will bring about the downfall of our civilization as it hinders the progress of science.
