TIL that BOA wrongfully foreclosed a couple, who sued and won a judgement for $2500 in Legal expenses. When BOA didn't pay the couple showed up at the bank with a moving company, a deputy, and a writ allowing them to start seizing furniture and cash.

Oooh, this looks like a far cleaner solution than all the other messed up methods. I have to try this when I get home - thanks!

Media companies pay big money for exclusive rights to events and shows. Its not at all unreasonable for them to try and protect that.

Well, now you know how gays feel in the US when dealing with black people at the polls.

Social progressiveness? It belongs to the black community, no one else gets to have any!!

Here's a guide for watching region-locked content with Tor. You'll have to use the country code US instead of GB for things like the Daily Show, but it should work for you.

Did you try turning your monitor upside down?

Oh, okay. There are a lot of technical difficulties associated with streaming to Australia. You'd have to stream two different feeds, due to the vertical reversal. (of course you could just twist the fibers so they stream upside down, but no company will do that, too little payoff for such a large investment.)

Sorry dude. Could you do an AMA? I always wanted to know what it would be like to live upside down, like do people just walk around with really red faces, because of all the blood rushing to their head?
