Nuke Volleyball + Theme song for everything nuklear while reading it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ6weggF4_k

Friend of mine linked me a program that let me mute my computer after a set amount of time~
It does other things, too, but that's what I needed~
Now I can listen to my radio stream at night without worrying about it continuing to blast through my speakers long after I'm asleep~
Only problem is that I slept until 11 and didn't have enough music prepared for that long! ヽ（°ヮ。）ノ

People who have too much time and have tech knowledge are good at trolling phone scams.
I'm kinda surprised someone managed to keep one on the phone for more than an hour, though.

[Reudh]

Ein, didn't you once say that you've got nearly two weeks of music or something ridiculous like that in your library?

@Aklyon I've gotten them once. I've not held them on the phone that long. Longest was nearly twenty minutes.

Scammer: Hi, your computer is infected with a junk malicious files.
Reudh: Ok, which computer is it?
Scammer: uh.... Windows XP?
Reudh: Which computer would that be?
Scammer: uhm, the desktop?
Reudh: yes. what brand of computer is this that is infected?
Scammer: uhhhhhhh...
Reudh: We have a Toshiba and a HP.
Scammer: Ah, alright. Well, your XP is infected with malicious files that will kill your computer in a half hour if you don't fix them. We've called now to help you save your computer---
Reudh: Do you know the IP address?
Scammer: Yes, it's [redacted].
Reudh: (I then whois'd the IP and found it was nowhere near me.) Ah, alright. Would you happen to know the specifications of my computer? As in its RAM, its hard disk space, etcetera.
Scammer: I--
Reudh: Because surely, if you have access to my computer, then you can access the information via. Help -> About.
Scammer: Well, yes. It's a 1GB ram HP computer with malicious files infecting it from the google. (It's not, it's 256MB. We hardly use it)
Reudh: Ah, I see. Who's to say you didn't infect it if you yourself have unlimited access to my computer?
Scammer: Well i didn't, but there are malicious files from the internet and the google.
Reudh: Would you be able to access my computer for me to tell me what's wrong? (the HP is disconnected via. its ethernet cable, and it doesn't have wireless).
Scammer: Ah alright. I'm accessing it now to tell you what's wrong.
Reudh: Oh. It's not connected by the way. I forgot to mention.
Scammer: You [various swears and curses]! *hangs up the phone*

Reudh just won the game. I can't wait for this to happen to me.

Two weeks?
I have over 10k songs~

The issue was that I didn't put enough of them in the playlist~
Or rather, I did, but not enough to last THAT long~
I normally wake up around 8~

[Aklyon]

I'd say the best part if you only listen to the beginning, is that when they ask him which windows version, he just keeps saying yes until they spell it out for him.

[Reudh]

Mego, they've been affecting the UK since early 2010, and Australia since 2011 at least. I haven't heard about other countries getting scams like this.

Going through the stuff I bought yesterday and this is pretty much the best purchase I made~

[Leafsnail]

Sherlock ending was cool.  Damn cliffhangers, but I think I know the trick.  Maybe.  Give Sherlock Holmes a completely offscreen action and he's bound to do something crazy.

Also this MGS LP is pretty good.  The bit with Cobra Psychogun Mantis was pretty fun.

[Realmfighter]

Me and my friends burst out laughing at Moriartys rage face at the end.

All the music cuts out, dramatic slow-mo begins and all you can hear is a bunch of teenagers laughing their asses off.

[Leafsnail]

Are we talking about the same thing?  I'm sortof confused now.  I was talking about the series that concluded about 2 hours ago.

[Realmfighter]

Ah.

I was talking about the movie, The Game of Shadows. You know, the one steeped in homosexual subtext.

[warhammer651]

Thank goodness for Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart

[Leafsnail]

Well, yeah.  I don't think you can write a version of Sherlock these days without homosexual subtext.

Although I think Watson is probably straight in this version?  Eh, who knows.
