I second that friend! I thought these p2p sites made money from adds so whats the deal? Pirate Bay is like a diseased ghetto in comparison to Demonoid.

Ask HN: PayPal Auto Payments

I'm just starting to get my first web design jobs. Where should i look to learn how to set it up so my clients pay me on a reoccurring basis through something like PayPal? I have payed for reoccurring subscriptions like this but i don't know how to do it on the other end so I'm the one getting paid on a monthly basis.

Don't you get the vulnerabilities implied by this? Read my YouTube description.

I changed the title from "Is Netflix site hacked right now?" to "Google supports false advertising?" to be more accurate. Let me know if you can think of a better description my scrupulous friend.

I'm not confused. Paste the above url in your browser and click the sponsored Netflix link. I guess you are right that there is nothing wrong with Netflix but surely Google cant permit a sponsored link to display one domain and actually be another one entirely. I took a video of it and am in the process of posting it to YouTube.

Google supports false advertising?

Search Netflix in Google right now and hit on the first sponsored link. It will take you to BuddhaShopper.com and then redirect to Netflix sometimes!? See the included url to Google search result. Am I confused or is this not suppost to happen?http://www.google.com/search?q=netflix&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Statistics and Computer Science

I have to take some statistics courses for my degree and I'm having a hard time staying interested. I think it would help to know that statistics is very important to computer science. Please tell me how and why.

Re:High Tech Swimsuits Banned on Saturday July 25, 2009 @11:33AM (#723350)
Ass backwards! It makes it more interesting to watch if these people are wearing super swim suits that help them swim crazy fast. Its not like they have jet packs and flippers atached to the suit. How bout we say they are not allowed to shave too.
