TV-Links - Shut down permanently
It can be sometimes hard to find stuff if you aren't exactly sure what you are looking for, but overall it is a good site. Free and legal books/movies/music/ect... is always good :D . EDIT: Forgot what I was going to post Here is a list of 38 replacements for TV-Links. I still prefer just to get the shows from torrent sites, but whatever floats your boat.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Ratatouille - When I first saw previews for this I was kind of scared, I liked Brad Birds movies but it didn't look like it would work. Then it got some good reviews, and I was excited about it again. I've only now been able to see it. It was great of course, I did like his other movies a little more, but it was good. Transformers - Lol Michael Bay :P

I-Doser - Getting High, Without Drugs
I've been saying it is impossible for it to do anything, but for some reason people just don't listen.

TV-Links - Shut down permanently
If they are in the public domain you should be able to find them on archive.org.

Federal Contracts to Blackwater USA
We just had a Blackwater topic not to long ago. Apparently only the OP and I were interested enough to post in it.

True, human ears can't hear below 20hz. That's why they use binaural beats, say a beat at 315hz and at 325hz. The difference between them is 10hz, and somehow that gets transferred in the brain. That part actually is scientific, but the rest of it is [cabbage]. It's impossible for it to cause most of the effects people are getting.

I agree, and we don't really need her as eyecandy as much anymore either. Last season we pretty much just had her and Niki/Jessica. This season we have her, Niki/Jessica, the Japanese chick in Hiro's storyline (sometimes hot, sometimes not), the black chick from New Orleans, the Irish chick (once again, sometimes hot sometimes not), and in the next episode Kristen Bell is joining. Even if it was just Kristen Bell that would be enough to replace Claire and Niki/Jessica. homo Well possibly, sometimes I see Sylar and... Wait, what? Seriously though, Claire is nice looking, but so are the other new women. Kristen Bell is even hotter than Claire. The other ones maybe not quite. Oh and I forgot about the Hispanic chick, who can be hot at times.

Read my posts above, the program they copied is in a link. It provides you with a few noise files. It's open source, completely free.

I-Doser - Getting High, Without Drugs
OK, after further research by myself Hand of God and LSD don't do squat. I knew they weren't going to, but I listened to them all anyways. After that I decided to do a little digging on the Mr. Internet about this. FACT: A lot of the effects of this are hypothetical still, but not out of the question. (from here on assuming it is actually true, not hypothetical, which I am still not sure about) FACT: Your brainwaves (to keep it simple) can be affected by an external stimulus to "alter your state of mind." This can be either auditory or visual. FACT: Everyone has the chance to be affected equally, I-Doser uses the "it works on some people, not on others" to discount all the people that say it doesn't work. FACT: It requires active participation, you can easily overcome the effects by thinking about anything else. You pretty much have to concentrate on having the effects. FACT: There is a scale of effects you can get, ranging from causing drowsiness/sleep to causing the brain to be active, possibly causing anxiousness. FACT: Other drug effects are all in your mind, and are not possible to create with this sort of sensory input. FACT: I-Doser's noise files won't be any different than the open source ones you can get from the original creator, SBaGen. They may sound a little different, but their effects will be the same. FACT: I-Doser is advertising them with the names of drugs because more people will buy them. FACT: People who buy/use often I-Doser or the products are tools.

You have to buy them, that's how the scam works.

I-Doser - Getting High, Without Drugs
There's a torrent of the program+.drg format files that is about 20 megs. Didn't work for me though, no complaints in the comments however. I just listened to the entire cocaine one, and I never felt any different than at the beginning. Well that isn't entirely true, I got a slight headache from the constant noise. I can't believe they are charging $200 for the Hand of God one, I've listened to about 5 minutes so far and I don't see how it's different than the others. It's definitely all in your mind, but hey, if it works for you go for it. EDIT: Even better news, I-Doser didn't even create the beat engine it is selling. It is SBaGen, an open source completely free application. I-Doser just made the noise files. EDIT2: OK, they are just selling the noise files, they aren't selling the application. That is fine. If they were selling the application it would definitely be a scam.

Here is a link for those of you who want to see if these binaural beats "work" or not. From archive.org, so it's perfectly safe and legal. They don't have any drug ones, but there are other effects. I still don't think they do anything, but it turns out one site said that I have to listen to them through headphones, not through speakers. Why that would make a difference I have no idea, but I'll go ahead and try.

If it doesn't do anything no matter what state of mind you are in, then it really doesn't do anything. It is all in your mind then.

I-Doser - Getting High, Without Drugs
There's a good short story by Kurt Vonnegut about this, I'll see if I can find it tomorrow. Anyways, I just tried one of them and it seemed to have no effect, much like I thought. I decided to just go ahead and DL all of them (even though it is 2gigs), and I'll give it a better chance tomorrow.

lol Limewire still exists? Anyways the version I found didn't work, so it looks like I am getting the mp3s. Listen to it in a bit.

I-Doser - Getting High, Without Drugs
Yeah, I'm sure it basically is a placebo effect, but it's really fun. And I'm pretty sure it would have.. I'm not really into the whole dead bodies and such I was keeping my mind on while I was listening to it.. Well maybe you are :) . I just acquired it, but they wanted me to install something. Don't feel like going through the trouble. I'll see if there is an mp3 version floating around. EDIT: Found some but holy [cabbage] it's 2gigs. Maybe I'll just install the 22meg program.

Do you know the difference between Socialism and Communism?
If there is no government, it is an anarchy. It can be an anarchy and communist, it can be an anarchy and capitalist, or it can be an anarchy and a mix. Anarchism just refers to all of them, from communist to capitalist, in which there is no government. If you are just looking at the government part and not the economic part, you can say you are an anarchist. But if you are looking at the socio-economic whole, you can't just say you are an anarchist, because there's a wide range you could be. However you can just say you are a communist and that works as a socio-economic description, because anarchy is inherent in it and not needed to be said. Capitalism is a bit more complicated, because you can be a capitalist and still believe in a government. So if you believe in no government, and a capitalist economy, when describing the socio-economic system you have to say anarcho-capitalism.

I'm guessing placebo effect. If I find it I'll try it out though.

Why do blacks get special treatment?
I don't believe in any sort of affirmative action for any minority. But I do want to point out it wasn't all that long ago in parts of the US that blacks first started going to school with whites. Think 1960s, not too long ago.
-
Do you know the difference between Socialism and Communism?
Yes, it is anarchy. Anarchy simply means no government. Anarchy does not necessitate chaos and disorder. Yes, if you look up the definition in a dictionary that is what it will say, but if you are talking about government ideologies anarchy does not mean chaos or disorder.
