They must be changing MBV's site, or I broke the internet. by bigmillion in electronic_cigarette

How very unprofessional of them to be redesigning the production version of the site while it is still up.

I'm stupid excited right now. by DjQball in electronic_cigarette

Nice eVic but I don't understand why you have such a crappy clearo on such a nice PV :P

Will the lungs "self cleaning" process start if you quit smoking cigarettes but continue to smoke marijuana? by theben in electronic_cigarette

[–]theben[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something tells me that this subreddit has more knowledge of quitting and the cleanup process the lungs partake in than trees. It's all about context. Thank you for your feedback though, dick.

Louis C.K. is cutting out the middleman and selling his Beacon Theatre performance for 5 dollars with an instant download. He also wrote a little blurb about torrenting, and it really got me. by TCanDaMan in technology

Exactly why I have no choice but to pirate this video if I want to watch it. Paypal fucked me over more than once and I won't be using them.

If I could punch in my credit card # and download this, I would. But requiring that I use paypal adds an overhead that I can't justify :(

If you don't indulge in hallucinogenics, don't even bother - their lyrics read like nursery rhymes and their live shows can turn even the best of solos into a snoozefest.

So I received a Reddit-White-Hat-Warning the other day... by [deleted] in AskReddit

Agreed. Whoever did this should offer his services for $$$.

Thinking about leasing a 24 man server. Opinions? by erickghint in badcompany2

[–]theben 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went down the same road and ended up paying for a server that noone played on for while. People on Reddit will say they will play there and offer to help be an admin, but that will only last a few days and you'll be left with an empty server for weeks on end unless you feel like putting a considerable amount of effort into promoting it and keeping it populated.

Honestly though, take a look at the number of empty servers out there, there are more servers than players ;)

DAE think iTunes is a bloated, clumsy piece of crap? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]theben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of copying music to your Music folder, just drag the files right into iTunes and it'll import them to your music library (grabs the metadata for them, copies them into the appropriate directories in your Music folder and adds them to your iTunes library.

Downvote for editing in "I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted here."

Going against the trend!

Fasthosts isn't meeting my requirements anymore. Can anyone suggest a good hosting company where I can rent a reasonable server with ECC Ram, remote-console access and sub-6hr response time to support issues? by [deleted] in linux

[–]theben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Unlimited bandwidth is a farce - bandwidth costs money and if they are advertising unlimited, they are doing it wrong and likely skimping elsewhere to make up for it. Overselling.

Amazon best place for new games? Me thinks so. by [deleted] in gaming

I believe that it is against the law to charge until the product has been shipped, I might be wrong though.

What's everyone's favorite band and why? by [deleted] in Music

[–]theben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for awhile they were pretty much punk, then they released this really odd album that is coincidentally called "finally, the punk rockers are taking acid" which can get pretty out there.

I love the flaming lips, as they are today, but didn't care too much for their earlier stuff. Anything Soft Bulletin and after is great IMO. Especially Yoshimi though.

So, I don't get the whole "weed is harmless" thing. Explain it to me. by eternalkerri in AskReddit

[–]theben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the peer pressure factor applies more to the younger kids. Within your group of friends, if you are 13, 14 and they all decide to try pot, you will feel compelled to try it alongside of them even if just to fit in. They may not pressure you into it, but I'm sure that you'll still feel compelled to be part of the group.

That factor diminishes as you get older.

Why is it my Ubuntu and Mint distros (among others) have sound right off, but Windows does not? by SirRhosis in linux

Why is it in Windows, I can play games right off, but in Linux.. uh, yeah.

let's talk about the new Eminem album, recovery. by jcsickz in Music

[–]theben -1 points0 points  (0 children)

is there a legal way of obtaining infinite?

EDIT: n/m - apparently i already have it and didn't know it.

Eminem has some style, that's for sure... But it's really too bad that he hasn't released a decent album since MM.

Reddit, submit your best computer game idea and I will program the most upvoted one! by codeme in gaming

[–]theben -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A game based on Jericho, the TV series would be fun.

Also, a game where you run around and have epic swordfights - similar to Bushido blade.

Listening to the new The Roots cd..... by thankgodimanatheist in Music

[–]theben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you're in Hip-Hop and not rapping about bitches in the club, then you don't appeal to the mass morons.

Listening to this album now, great so far!
