utorrent "hacking" for tracker version checking subversion

Ever use a bittorrent tracker that disallows certain clients? Or maybe it allows your favorite bittorent client but only allows certain versions to make connections to the tracker. I can't imagine I'm alone in feeling unmotivated to downgrade my client or use an unfamiliar client just to satisfy one picky tracker admin.

I'm a Selfish Gamer, and I Don't Care About Broadening

I kept biting my tongue. I kept explaining to groups of 2-4 people how to "deal with" the inclusion of Avatars in the New Xbox Experience because, quite frankly, I didn't like them either. (More on this subject in the future, but the short/worst case answer is if they bother you - ignore them.) I kept getting angry when I saw companies plan strategy, and then apologize for that strategy to the offended parties. Owen from Kotaku pointed out a NY Times article that got me frustrated enough to writ...

ProWorks Flooring Does Awful Work - see pics (parker)

website is www.proworksflooring.com, project manager was adam frank I've had to hire another company to completely pull up the new floor ProWorks installed for me and refinish the existent floor because PropWorks workmanship was so shoddy.

Saturday

and I never did make it to the big city grocery store this week. What with intermittent rain all week I just decided to patronize my little grocery store here in town. It rained off and on all day yesterday and that kind of put a damper on everything. I did make it to a garage sale and I found a pretty little table in perfect condition for $7. Now I don't need this table at all. It was just so pretty and so cheap that I couldn't resist buying it. The husband of the gal running the garage sale ev...

The story by Tim Truman is great and balances out the action in the story with an intelligent pl...
