Darthy··on Turkish government banned dropbox for hiding this torrent. please fork
That's a really amateurish way of distributing information. First, you don't need a torrent file. A hash value is all you need. Here it is, formatted as a link that you can copy and paste into your browser url field to start your torrent client: <magnet:?xt=urn:btih:489b0cef1d7d49fe5ae2ae8cc2f0708b8286cbb3>

Second, the torrent is a 10GB rar file. People have to download everything just to decompress and assess whether the data in the torrent is really worth sharing.

Darthy··on Bike manufacturer sees huge reduction in delivery damage by printing TV on box
I see a possible solution here using technology:

Senders should add a small $1 "black box" recording acceleration data, and shipping companies should be able to query for a certain package and a certain timestamp, which employee was accountable at that moment.

Then when you receive a broken package, the black box tells you the timestamp when it was thrown to the ground, you tell that to the shipping company, which then finds the employee at fault and gives him/her a warning/sacks him/her.

Vesper Lynd broke Bond's heart, the committed suicide. The cocktail is named after the character.
Darthy··on Vesper, Adieu
> With “Vesper” we were thinking things like beautiful, smart, clever, strong. In the end, the name was more apt than we knew, because it also carries heartbreak.

That was sad and beautiful. I shed a tear after reading this. Man, this guy can write!

The service is called "VOOM" and it's now offered on every RCCL ship. The speed is impressive - easily fast enough to work at sea imho.
