Shareminer is a clownsuit engine that searches for files upped to Rapidshare, Megaupload, SendSpace, ZShare, and other similar one click hosts. A great tool for locating full, rare, and out of print albums.

There will be no difficulty tracking me down, so that to you This Moment in Time is as close as ANYONE can get to the absolute perfect combinations of words, sighs, jokes, and groans that make up the whole of a "Classic Podcast.

In 1997,
Todd Phillips and
Andrew Gurland created a film documenting the savagely brutal hazing rituals that take place during Hell Week at U.S. college fraternities.
Frat House was completed and won the Grand Jury Prize for documentaries at 1998's Sundance Film Festival, an award that was later rescinded. HBO was slated to air it later that year, but pulled it for reasons that remain debatable to this day. It has never seen an official release.

I want to make a daytrip into Matamoras, Mexico in about a month. I've done this several times in the past (mostly to Neuvo Laredo) but right now I do not have a passport. Has the North American 'passport-only' travel rule taken into effect yet, or does it kick in January 1st like my father says?

"Since bursting onto the scene in 1967, Leonard Cohen has inspired generations with his unique personality and haunting music, becoming one of the most original and enduring artists to emerge from the 1960's. In January, 2005, Lian Lunson traveled to Sydney to film the historic "Came So Far For Beauty" show, a tribute to Cohen at the Sydney Opera House organized by famed music producer Hal Willner. And in a series of candid interviews, Cohen himself reveals his trademark wry humor and soulful intensity, using his own artwork, poetry, and personal collection of photographs to reflect upon his colorful past and his creative process."

I've got a several month's supply of Zoloft sitting around that I no longer use. I'd like to send it to a friend in another city, as she's got no insurance and the damn stuff's expensive. We both have valid scripts. Am I asking for trouble?

Dallas, also proudly known as Dal-ass, the Ugly D, and Assassination City, is my home for the next couple of days. If you take a look at
this thread over at Metachat, you'll soon figure out that I'm going through an uncomfortable and difficult time.
I know few folks here, and could really use some friendly MeFi comrades to lighten my mood. I know these things're usually planned out with much more thought than this, but I'd like to do it tonight or tomorrow. {let's all do the more inside}

So I thought for certain the hard drive on my old desktop G4 was dead. Upon startup, I was getting the "whirr CLICK whirr CLICK whirr CLICK whirr CLICK" sound, followed by the flashing question mark on my screen. Out of frustration, I gave the HD the ol' Fonzie: I whacked it good three or four times. I am now typing this on said computer. What happened?

My new apartment in New York City came equipped with a built-in ethernet internet connection. So far, I've maxed out at just over 1 meg a second, though that's only happened a few times. Besides downloading media via bittorrent and p2p, what recreational net activities should I take advantage of? What's the best way that I can 'speed test' my top d/l speed?
Also, any guesses on what type of connection I likely have? T1? T3? How would I find this out without bothering my landlord?

Ram Ayala
- owner of the famed Tacoland nightclub in beautiful downtown San Antonio, Texas - was
shot and
killed during a robbery at his bar last Thursday.
The world-famous club has been a favorite dive for bands and locals alike since 1969, forever immortalized in
the Dead Milkmen song
"Tacoland".

So I've noticed there's a user
25210 and
25209, but no
25208,
25207,
25206,
25205, or
25204. There is, however, a user
25203 but no
25202 or
25201. There's a
25200,
25199,
25198, and
25197, but no
25196,
25195,
25194,
25193, or
25192. There's a user
25191, but no
25190 or
25189. There does happen to exist a
25188 and that's as far as I'm gonna go. I can only hope you've gotten the point by now, but if not: What's with the missing users?
