I was reading the e-mail lists for the GNU/Linux filesharing application gtk-gnutella and stumbled upon følgende this piece of good advice:

Updating to current SVN is always a good idea. Your other option is
switching to Ultrapeer mode. It’s quite possible that you are connected
to Ultrapeers which are just bad or over-worked due to the high amount
of spamming. Also make sure your search phrases don’t exceed 30 characters.

Regarding Comcast, that’s nothing recent. It is well-known that they’ve
been messing with Gnutella since, at least, 2006. It is not specific to
Comcast anyway. At least Cox, Adelphia and Cablevision have been doing
exactly the same. Never trust a news that you have not written yourself.

“Never trust a news that you have not written yourself.”. I could not have said it better myself even if my life depended on it.

The Swedish regime’s secondary propaganda channel, SVT, are announcing that a pack of cigarettes will cost 1,50 SEK more starting next year. The regime are announcing this as as something that will be voted over and then, in the next sentience, talk about it like it’s already fact – which is probably correct, the facade democracy in Sweden is a sick joke.

It is interesting that SVT in the same announcement yet again repeat that Sweden is merely a provincein the completely undemocratic fascist-state EU and that they decide what is what is Sweden and that the local province leadership (“government”) are powerless and have no say in any decision of major importance. Actual (untranslated) quote:

“Regeringen tillmötesgår även EU-kraven på likvärdig beskattning av öl och vin och föreslår höjd skatt på öl och sänkt vinskatt. En burk 5,2-procentig starköl blir i så fall 62 öre dyrare.” -SVT
