Stupid Television

Curi0us_George · 24th January 2002, 00:21

I'm pissed off. I've been watching Enterprise for a while. Now, I've gotten all but one of the episodes off Morpheus, at about 400 megs each. They are really good quality. I've been trying to download episode 12 for some time now. It finally downloaded. It's crap. Someone did a pathetic job with it. It's still huge, but it looks like it was pulled from a tape of a tape of a tape of a television with a "look like shit" filter in place. So, now, because morons share crap files, I have to try to download it again. Happy day. Another week of Morpheus running constantly, with none of the jackasses downloading from me sharing any files.

On top of this, I've been looking forward to watching the next episode this evening. It's supposed to be on right now, but some damned college basketball game is on instead, so now I'll have to either try to catch it this weekend or download it, like that will ever work. . .

Television????? whats that?

Aeiri · 24th January 2002, 00:25

Enterprise, as in Star Trek: Enterprise? Or that one wierd show called "Enterprise" made by the same people?

Either way I still think you are a trekkie.

Enterprise is a new series. It's from the creators of Star Trek (I guess), but it is set before the first Star Trek series. I think it's also better than any of the others. Certainly better than any that came after The Next Generation.

Trekkies dress up in costume and think that the science behind Star Trek can be explained. I'm not a Trekkie.

Theres a ton of users. For some stupid reason I use Morpehus as well, and no one downloads stuff, also that may be why I have a fire wall in place, but it never bugs me about downloading files, unlike Audiogalaxy does to me.

What about that Ferengi Helmet you just bought? Yes, I did see that come in on your credit cards!

I hate that. It's especially aggravating on dialup. What's more annoying though is WinMX. Over 90% of the users absolutely refuse to share.

They're stupid thats why.
And I have DSL, which I'd like to share when I'm not around. Thats why I paid for it, not to let it stay idling, it should be doing something when I'm not around.

What really pisses me off is that it's neither possible to create a buddy list nor ban users from access.

I should start hunting down users with their IPs and executing them.

I think the extra numbers on the end of usernames (or is this done away with by now?) is the user's MAC address. play with that a bit

Curi0us_George · 24th January 2002, 01:10

There are some fairly easy ways to get a user's IP.

Here's how to disable people from d/l your stuff.
