If you are a fan of torrents, you are probably familiar with IP blocklists. They shield a list of IPs from pinging your computer and getting your IP. If you have no idea what I just said, you are normal. It basically means that you are invisible to people trying to harvest your IP, “people” most likely being spammers, hackers, or government agents.

These IP blocklists can be integrated with popular torrenting software, like Vuze.

However I recently noticed that the most popular mirror for the autodownload of IP blocklists was down. Not sure why, but it is now located here:

You must manually download it for some reason.

Hope this helps for any torrenting fans.

Tired of getting turtlenecks and fruitcakes? Tired of fruitcakes giving you turtlenecks? Tired of turtlefruits giving you neck cakes? This year, give and get gifts that don’t make you want to eat a running blender.

Me and Brion have compiled a list of gifts that actually serve a useful purpose, and won’t eat your wallet. Each gift idea has a link that was handpicked by either me or Brion. Not in any particular order.

1. A computer monitor. Got a crappy monitor? Get a new one. . $170.

2. A wireless router. Get wireless internet in your house. It’ll go great with the laptop you don’t have! . $54.

3. A webcam. See obscene pictures of your daughter on the internet in no time! Maybe you’ll even get a promotion at work! $30.

4. A wireless keyboard and mouse. If you are still using wired technology, you suck. Stop sucking and buy this. I’m using this keyboard right now. Be cool like me. $30.

5. A digital photo frame. The perfect gift for someone who actually enjoys looking at their family.  (Note: for this frame you will need a memory card. there’s links on the product information page.) $40.

6. Speakers. They can be used for anything- your TV, computer, ipod, CD player, etc. Protip- Bose is overrated, unless you’re willing to spend a buttload of money. I have speakers similar to the ones in the link, and they have been going strong for about a year and a half now. The subwoofer can shake the walls if set to maximum. $63.

7. A DVD player. They play DVDs. They make you happy. Chances are that yours is broken. Get a new one. This particular DVD player supports upscaling, so it can make non-HD DVDs look better. $50.

8. A toolset. Have all your tools in one place instead of strewn about the house! $40.

9. A rotary tool. I got one of these, they’re intense. You can grind, sand, cut, trim, and make holes in things. What more could you want? $60.

10. A digital camera. It takes pictures. It’s about two times better than 1080p resolution, so it’s extremely high def. $150.

11. An mp3 player. Get a Zune to replace your broken iPod! In fact, never buy another Mac product in your entire life. Show you are unique with this awesome Zune. It plays videos too, and has WiFi! $225.

12. A shaver. Shave your hideous moustache. You might think it’s cool, but your coworkers call you Mildew Man, because your moustache always breeds disgusting sweat. Oh god, turn away right now, I can’t even bear to look at it. KILL IT WITH FIRE! $70.

13. A vacuum. Tell someone to clean up their act. EEEHEEHEHEHEHHEHHEHEH. This vacuum is hardcore like a boar in a moor. It’s intended to kill everything in your carpet and leave it begging for mercy. It also gets WiFi, makes coffee, and can do your taxes. $140.

14. A Bluetooth headset. You can’t use your phone in the car without a headset in California. Buy this. Even though it’s made by Nokia, it will work with any phone that supports bluetooth! $30.

15. Rechargeable batteries. Everyone loves them, and they go great with anything that uses batteries! They will also save energy and shit. Brion has these, and they are extreme. I have a lust for them. $30-$40.

Remember everyone, shop online to avoid getting trampled!

I was just checking my email to see if my nukes computer components were shipped yet, and I saw this on the front page of aol.com.

If you idiots knew how to seperate church and state, there would be less of this stupid petty bickering on minute details such as this. If Obama regularly attended church, I would be worried. If he regularly prayed to a god, it could be argued that he could not solve his own problems, and needed a larger father figure in his life to make his decisions. This would lead the American empire to collapse.

Religion is fail.
