Looks like congress is at it again, there making an internet sales tax! http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/06/tech/web/internet-sales-tax/index.html

It occurred to me that I blow way too much time online just farting around, accomplishing little-to-nothing. So, to whittle away at the lost hours, I'm considering choosing a regularly scheduled day of the week (or month or something) where I purposefully stay offline. I seem to recall hearing...

Anyone interested in IM? The annual "challenge" course started this week and having done it twice before I can verify that it's the best free training in IM going. The best way to do the course is as part of a team as it helps to have others to motivate yourself. The site is...

And yet again, Yet AGAIN, cats still rule over the interwebz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw4KVoEVcr0 Frankly this is the damn cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. Oh hey +1 count to my post + first post in General Discussion. I'm not one for serious discussion so you get cat hugging...

I got this quote from 4chan. I'm not sure if it's true and i'm hoping it's not but just to be safe and raise awareness: "The US Government is currently debating and revising a bill which would give them an “internet filter” This power would be granted to them in something they are calling...

Hey all, in the interest of being a more active forumite, I figured I'd get a few threads rolling. Here's one - when you boot up IE/Firefox/Safari (please no Mac/PC flamewar) after checking your email, what sites do you like to tab to, in addition to TT of course? :) I'm sort of a...

I heard this morning that the world health orginization wants to have a tax on time spent on the internet all over the worl and apply it to medical research. While this may help the research, I don't think that the time I spend on the net should be taxed. What do you guys think about it?

Just wanted to post a thread and ask what people's thoughts are on the issue of internet censorship. I personally think that of course the internet should be an open place for free discourse and the free flow of information and ideas, as i feel people need an outlet to express themselves in...

I've always heard about people make hundreds,even thousands a week on their computers!Now,I'm aware of scams like this,claiming to help make hundreds a week,but I hear so much about this that I'd like to get on this!Working hard alone won't get you out of debt,you also need a computer and an...

Why do I ask? Well, I'm considering doing a Focus On Community segment on internet radio and the role it plays in helping to build community and share who we are with others. Most are aware of TMF Radio and the variety of nightly shows aired under the TMF name. But, who else around here has...

i know i complained about something before but i have to complain again, my sister is a member of IMVU and second life, she speaks to only women on both of the games, why? because men dont know how to keep "cyber" it in their pants, every male she spoke to on IMVU spoke kindly, speaking like...

What kind of internet access do you have? Dial up (very slow), DSL (faster), Cable Modem (High Speed).

I'm thinking this could be one of those threads that everyone can join in on. So if you have a link to somewhere you like to escape to just post it here. My opening salvo is well... yeah. That describes it, but by no means does it have to be weird. It could be one of those sappy threads that...

http://www.cracked.com/article_16765_5-ways-stop-trolls-from-killing-internet.html Though i'm sure some people will call bullshit on this, i believe 1 is especially plausible. Though one question i have is how will said trolls be punished under the law, and where? If a person in the US...

Someone sent me the URL for an interestingly-bent Wal-Mart product page - right product, wrong picture! (WARNING - may not be work-safe) http://tinyurl.com/4pjdpf Has anyone else spotted other similar kinds of web page screw-ups?

Do you see it happening sometime in the future or do you think it never will happen; no matter how advanced technology gets over the years?

I was just wondering if someone could tell me about the set up of high speed internet. I once again took on way more than I was prepared for, and am trying to set the high speed up on my own. I could have hired someone to come in and do it for me. But I realy didn't want them searching all...

I saw something similar to this in a manga once, but I never thought that a company would actually make these things, The mind truely boggles. I can't think of anyone, even foot fetishists, being turned on by this thing, unless they were hopelessly hardcore about it...
