- ARRGH!!!! Files patent infringement suits all around!!! -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 10:00
Google announces public DNS -- (link) - oblique Dec 3, 09:57 7
- Is this a shot across the bow of Anti-net neutrality folks? - TWuG Dec 3, 10:02 5
  - no, I think it's a shot across the bow of DNS providers who take "failed" lookups and redirect traffic to their own advertising servers -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 10:02 4
    - If they add services like OpenDNS provides, I'd probably switch -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 10:04
    - Like Comcast? -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 10:02 2
      - Comcast goes as far as hijacking root server lookups, I ran my own DNS and they still poisoned it -- nm - scorpion Dec 3, 10:09
      - (man, Google's just got a huge back of "F*CK YOU" to serve up, doesn't it?) -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 10:03

Bones was ... interesting ... last night. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 09:54 6
- I am one ep behind - I know they are supposed to have an ep or 2 this season with Zoey -- nm - Capstern Dec 3, 09:55 1
  - this isn't one of them ... but it's interesting for different reasons -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 09:57

psa: netflix will have Glee season 1 on 12/29 -- nm - Max Dec 3, 09:53 5

- stay classy Ronnie. -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 09:54
- I don't care about the genders. If you're 20 and get your butt kicked by a 62-year-old *musician*, get a friggin gym membership. - Dr.Vermin Dec 3, 09:53 1
  - He's likely in better shape than 99% of his generation. nm - Dignan Dec 3, 09:56
- *Russian* girlfriend. There's a difference. nm - Dignan Dec 3, 09:53 5
  - I have to say, it's not that fprward thinking. They'll stab you in your sleep as soon as spit on you. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 09:58
  - so it's Svetlana, or *that* and $10 -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 09:54

- *total* shit this year. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 09:52 6
  - here's the closest i can come: "I Am... Sasha Fierce" was, IMO, a lock for album of the year. And the DMB album is wildly underrated by most folks. - TFox Dec 3, 09:55 5
    - You said something non-negative about DMB, I think you and Reagen are bound by law to fight now. (nm) - musubi Dec 3, 09:58 4
      - They have released a parade of suck since Before These Crowded Streets, but this is arguably their best album ever. -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 09:59 3
        
        I haven't heard the new album but other than that we largely agree. - Reagen Dec 3, 10:01 2
        
        excepting that they weirdly might right now be at their peak. - TFox Dec 3, 10:03 1
        
        I'm not sure it can be argued that "streets" wasn't peak. -- nm - amanda Dec 3, 10:04
- I am ashamed of you. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 09:51

Has anyone heard of Biffy Clyro? - JaxSean Dec 3, 09:44
Irish, British... same thing, right? -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 09:43 22
- Oh heck no! -- nm - lileve Dec 3, 10:00
- I wouldn't call anyone from Southern Ireland British, and calling anyone from NI a Brit can be iffy too. -- nm - LMS Dec 3, 09:56
- A quick google search shows you're wrong. -- nm - loosi si Dec 3, 09:45 6
  - You're the one who's wrong. - amanda Dec 3, 09:50 5

    - could i remember the word Venn? no. i got to 'those charts, with circles, sounds like zen...' -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 09:52 3
      - It's a zen diagram for all intensive purposes. -- nm - mara Dec 3, 09:53 2

- Garrett Anderson? -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 09:39
Speaking of same sex kisses, I think I have decided that Michael Fassbender has replaced Ryan Reynolds at the top of my list. -- nm - Dano Dec 3, 09:37 10
- Fassbender? You're making that last name up. -- nm - Inigo Dec 3, 09:43

Pink is straight? -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 09:37
One thing about the censorship thing: Britney/Madonna and Adrien Brody were BJB, Before Janet's Boob. Pink was the same year. - Jim Dec 3, 09:37 25

    - you're forgetting prince and his enormous penis-guitar. -- nm - mafic Dec 3, 09:54 5
      - [deleted]
      - Hmm. I have never looked at it like that. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 09:56 3
        
        it was the silhouette on the giant blowing sheet that made it apparent to me. -- nm - mafic Dec 3, 09:58 2
        
        Yeah, I rememeber that. Guitarists have always done this, but he has raised the bar. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 10:07
        
        granted it's just his weird not-prince symbol, but still. -- (link) - mafic Dec 3, 10:02 [Image]

        cause the networks ( all of them) will bow to public pressure and perception - that girls kissy are good, guys kissy is bad - Epiphany Dec 3, 09:44 5

        Late to the party -- I don't think the bias is a gay one in this case, I think it is like Pips stated. Similar to the nudity bias in films. - Fuzzy Dec 3, 09:56 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Do we have examples of lesbian kisses by actual lesbains during a prime time broadcast on a major network? I'm blank. -- nm - Fuzzy Dec 3, 09:59 1
        
        Ellen is the only one I can remember. -- nm - Inigo Dec 3, 10:03
        
        You are right. Not as right as you think you are, but you are right. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 09:42 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Pippy said it well. I have zero problems with it going on. For the record, two girls kissing on tv does nothing for me, either. Unless I am there. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 09:48 1
