一件很奇怪的事情刚刚发生

在网上遇到一个来自UT Austin的CCFer

呵呵

这还是我第一次在网上遇到在身边的真实生活中的人

世界真小呀

P.S.

听他/她说是在这里找到我的email的

看来blog还是要继续写呀~

1. Has SuprNova.org really closed?

Yes, it has.

2. When will SuprNova.org be back?

Never as it was. If it eventually does come back up, it won’t feature ANY links to torrents at all.

3. What about the torrents I’m currently downloading/have queued, will they still download?

Maybe, probably. However if they don’t, it has nothing to do with SuprNova.org’s closure. If the tracker for that particular torrent is still online and there are seeds, your file will still download.

4. Will joining the IRC channel and spamming about some random nonsense and/or “BRING SUPRNOVA BACK UP” help at all or bring SuprNova.org back?

NO. So don’t. Really, don’t.

5. Where can I download torrents from now?

6. Who is the owner of SuprNova.org?

Sloncek is the owner. I advise you leave off mailing/PMing him for now, he will be flooded with them and this is likely to be a very emotional time for him. He has feelings too. Give him some space.

7. Is BitTorrent closing?

No. To clarify, BitTorrent is a file protocol, not a network in itself. As long as .torrent files are made and distributed, BitTorrent will continue to run as the only central servers needed are Trackers, and they never handle the files themselves.

8. Does the current situation mean I can break the channel rules in #SuprNova.org and use “!list” and “@find”?

NO.

9. You know this HTML code is very sloppy, right?

Yes, it was rushed.

10. Where do I send additions/corrections?

silentdragz@silentdragz.net

11. Why has SuprNova.org closed?

For two years, SuprNova.org maintained the largest BitTorrent community on the Internet. Literally millions of individuals each day would traverse this BitTorrent site looking for the latest releases. Although SuprNova was not a tracker, it did provide thousands of Torrent links to a multitude of movies, games, images and music. Today, the millions who called SuprNova home are now facing the grim reality that SuprNova.org no longer exists.

SuprNova.org’s fall comes shortly after the demise of other key BitTorrent and eDonkey2000 link sites. Last week, the MPAA and other world wide copyright organizations began to clamp down on ShareConnector, Youceff Torrents and many others. While SuprNova.org was not forced off line, the administration was definitely feeling the pressure.

Slyck spoke with Sloncek, administrator of SuprNova.org about its closure.

“SuprNova.org was more like a hobby that took most of my free time away. And now with current situation, there抯 too much pressure and I don抰 have the time for it.”

Considering that administrators of smaller, although no less significant, communities such as ShareConnector were actually arrested, Sloncek decided to take SuprNova.org off line voluntarily. This will allow him and his fellow administrative staff to concentrate on other projects without worry of prosecution.

While the ability to trade information was a key reason for the success of SuprNova.org, the community will remain intact. SuprNova.org’s forums and IRC network will remain online. In addition to keeping the community functioning, it will also allow the SuprNova.org administration to relay any addition news and information. The following statement is all that remains on SuprNova.org:

Greetings everybody,

As you have probably noticed, we have often had downtimes. This was because it was so hard to keep this site up! But now we are sorry to inform you all, that SuprNova is closing down for good in the way that we all know it. We do not know if SuprNova is going to return, but it is certainly not going to be hosting any more torrent links.

We are very sorry for this, but there was no other way, we have tried everything.

Thank you all that helped us, by donating mirrors or something else, by uploading and seeding files, by helping people out on IRC and on forum, by spreading the word about SuprNova.org. It is a sad day for all of us!

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the link to the Sloncek interview on NovaStream radio!

12. What’s happening with eXeem?

We don’t know this either. An insider has said that there will be no statement about eXeem today.

13. How do I turn off the joins/parts/quits?

In mIRC, it’s Tools, Options, IRC, Events, tick Hide Quits, Parts, Joins.

14. Are there any plans to release the SuprNova.org source code?

The official word is that there are no plans to release the source code at this time.

15. What does MPAA stand for?

Motion Picture Association of America.

finally…

suprnova is down-_-

mochfocing MPAA!

hopefully some admin from RU or CN can pick up at where they left

at the end of this year

its time to sum up the year

here are the tv shows i am/was watching this year:

The West Wing

老牌draman个emmy了

6季以后依然势头强劲

虽然明知是戏剧化以后表演

但还是让我对米国政治产生了浓厚的兴趣

The O.C.

去年的新青春剧

找一堆巨漂亮的2x岁的mm演16岁高中生

mm还算养眼

剧情对白还算有新意

不过才第二季就有点审美疲劳了

估计长不了

House

秋季新的关于医生的drama

号称ER之后最好的医生剧

感觉不错

拿一堆疑难杂症来营造气氛

角色很有特点

剧情很吸引人（虽然经常有一堆医学名词不知所云）

可惜收视一般

希望能挺过第一季

Huff

showtime秋天的新剧（这个台号称比HBO还要开放，剧中除了没有禁忌语，连第三点都敢露）

关于一个心理医生的剧

演员表演不错（一直挺喜欢Hank Azaria的——就是Friends里面那个俄国科学家）

编剧目前还能让我对剧情感兴趣

会继续跟

Century City

严格来讲这并不是一部秋季档新剧

在夏天的时候播过4集

不知道出于什么原因CBS把它停播

上周开始从ep5继续开播（也许是因为开始只制作了4集看看反映，然后用夏天继续拍摄后面的）

很有意思的剧

把大受欢迎的法庭/律师剧放到2030年

在新的生物基因技术以及其它新兴科技刚被应用到生活中的时候

它们对人们生活以及基本道德观的影响（有影响就难免会有矛盾，有矛盾就有官司拉）

通过前6集来看

编剧不断把诸如“克隆人是不是人/是不是符合基本道德标准”之类的热门话题带入本剧

通过律师们的辩论

实际上也是对话题本身的探讨

让人们不禁会想想自己的立场是什么

总体来讲算是很新颖的题材

个人很喜欢

有兴趣的可以跟一下（目前6集）

Regenesis

这实际上不是米剧

而是加剧（不过就好像日韩剧一样，区别不大）

也许是巧合

这部剧的重点也是生化基因技术

主要讲的是一个由米/加/墨三国组成的联合机构对付恐怖分子的新型人工改造基因而成的病毒攻击（加国剧有加国参与很合理，米国不论什么都要参与所以也合理，为什么有墨国呢？hmm…想想其实原因很简单，墨西哥裔在米国已经超过了黑人成为最大的少数人种——为了拉观众嘛，就好像 以前什么剧都要有个黑人配角，现在是什么剧都有个墨西哥裔配角）

感觉虽然制作有些粗糙

但编剧还算紧凑

题材也算吸引人（生化将是未来十年的internet）

主角们经常满嘴说着生化词汇争论着什么

虽然不能完全听懂

但看着挺酷的-_-

反正也是个短剧

估计会跟下去

这还是第一次看加剧

图个新鲜吧

Desperate Housewives

今年最火的新剧

自从首播以后就到处都在讨论它

已经被誉为了新的”sex and the city”

从剧名就知道大概说的是什么了

编剧还不错

风格也算有新意

但是就不知道能不能像satc那样长久了

Arrested Development

去年emmy最佳喜剧

开始很不适应它的风格（换句话说就是有新意？）

有点黑色

有点杂乱

不过到了第二季就适应了

很有特点的喜剧

跟以前看过得都不一样

Rescue me

由于同是FX出的剧

加上风格的近似

对此剧一个比较简单的描述就是“The Shield的消防员版”

就像当初看”The Shield”

Rescue me让我对消防员有了一种新的认识

一种更真实的认识

而那真实感同时也带给了我新鲜感（毕竟现在大多数剧都落了俗套，难得看到一些新鲜的东西）

总体上说是很吸引我的一个剧

算是今年夏天看到的最好的一部新剧（当然FX自己说这是”best new drama since sopranos”还是有些言过其实的…hehe…毕竟只有HBO能够超越HBO）

Lost

大家都知道了吧

第一季已经完了

感觉开始的时候很有意思

过半后就有点审美疲劳了

好像一惊一乍的但你知道什么都不会发生

Seinfeld (oh yea~ i have been watching it after the dvd was released)

有人说这是”best show ever”

这个我不清楚

但是这剧在结束2年后仍被评为最佳喜剧

在TBS重播的收视率高过很多大台的新剧

这些足够让我对它感兴趣了

很有意思

国内可能还不是很多人知道

趁着S1~3的dvd刚出

赶紧补课吧

en

昨天晚上几个人无事于是相商决定去strip club看看

嗯

来米国这么久一次都没去过

说不过去呀

就算是对米国文化的一次实地研究吧

于是在今年最冷的一个夜晚

我们到了Austin比较有名的strip club——Yellow Roses…

中间细节就不说了

总体感觉就那么回事

到处都是无上装女人

里面空气很不好（不过总算找到了一个室内可以抽烟的地方…hehe）

酒水也不便宜

女人多数没什么姿色

身上的粉有三尺厚

更不要说脸上的了

唯一还说得过去的就是女人都很乖巧听话

毕竟她们是来赚男人的钱的

对了

一个让我比较吃惊的地方

那里居然很多mm很小的女人

很多都是自然大小（当然也有后来人工加工过的）

因为本来以为那里应该是硅胶+盐水袋到处飞的地方

嗯

就算是我这乡下人进城见见世面吧

另

某人看到后不要怒

上面说了

只是去研究米国文化去了

不是去吃花酒

嗯嗯

本来应该早就写这个的

12月5日

在米国3年后终于TNND毕业了

好像没有什么特别的感觉

嗯

另

有人知道联想买了IBM的PC部吗？

应该是17亿美刀

联想可以使用IBM的名字5年

sigh

想当年IBM发明的PC的时候是多么风光呀~

再另

国内ban了CM2005好像又是因为台湾问题

sigh

最后

记得那个某个德国人好像在1x秒里记住了100位数

我应该连看都看不完吧

嗯
