I've posted a very significant update to the site, but unfortunately, its one of those things where, if I've done my job properly, you won't be able to tell. I've made some significant changes to the Database to aid scalability.

Three changes you will see:
1. The main site now updates daily.
2. Thread links display the number of posts.
3. When you reply it tells you who its forwarding the reply to.

As always, tell me if you have any troubles...

I just want to make a comment here.

The minute t-mobile makes a commercial where a black dude is getting the shit kicked out of him by the cops and cute brunette shows up and gives his friends a camera phone they are gunna sell a million of these things. You want your decentralized news media. This is how you are going to get it.

This is worrysome article. A bunch of companies have been keeping databases of samples of DNA they have received for various reasons. Charges that the information is being misused have been levied. The response is that we ought to store everyone's DNA so there is enough political pressure to make sure that the information is used properly. Yeah, sure...

This is literally the wolf asking permission to guard the hen house.

FYI, I created a MemeStreams Beer Mug. Also, I have reduced the prices on all MemeStreams stuff. I only make $1 when you buy something from the store.
