New Zealand is even worse. Of course, those who charge $150 for every extra GB are obviously ripping off unsuspecting customers.

So ka... Wakatta. :victory:

The easiest picture sharing site I've come across. Simply drag and drop. It's slick too.

Hmm, not bad. :victory:

One thing I noticed off the bat is that it renames the file to something cryptic... Hard to organize stuff that way. :sweat:

Thanks for the info. Just tried it out over in the Meisa thread. Hotlinking wasn't working there. :beaten:

I was having the same issue, there's no direct link button that shows the pic, not the link or at least I couldn't find it. :beaten:

No, it is easy. The 'hotlinking' I was referring to was the news site I use. Looks like they're not allowing hotlinking anymore.

Free fiber optic internet service must be nice!

Google Fiber beta test goes live, bathes Stanford in high-speed regularity

When we last checked in on the Google Fiber project, engineers were busy laying the groundwork for a 1Gbps network across both Kansas Cities, while preparing to launch a beta test near Stanford. Now, it looks like the beta service has gone live in the Palo Alto area, according to a lucky Reddit user who claims to be using it. The ISP is available free of charge to students and faculty members within the area, at pretty mouth-watering speeds. No word yet on when the Kansas City communities will receive similar treatment, but you can gaze in awe at the Stanford Speedtest result, after the break.

It's a good thing I wasn't downloading anything from MU. But looks like the jdramas community at livjournal is going to be shutdown. :sweat:

They were mostly relying on MU. It's shame because that place was great, if it was english subbed you could find it there.
