One of the finer pleasures in life is picking a time to take a vacation, whether arbitrarily or acutely framed in date. Early this year, I found myself with frequent flyer miles to burn and a craving for massive seratonin release.
It should come as no surprise that a twenty-something year old male about to turn twenty-something-plus-one over the summer would book a flight surrounding his birthday; I set my sights on Las Vegas with intentions to gamble, booze, schmooze, and other unspeakables that men my age lust after. I booked the hotel, then months later took advantage of the cancellation policy in favor of cheaper lodging at one of the… less desireable hotels and casinos on the strip.
I had a ridiculous time, and not to push the cliche but the unspeakables will remain so. You are then curious, no doubt, as to why the author has chosen to write about an unknown mix of pork and beef blandly boiled in water and stuffed into a nondescript bun, further stuffed into a complementary nondescript foil sleeve.

My friends, I gambled and I lost. I rediscovered that drinking nonstop for two days does nothing to heal the wounds that cut so deep. Unfortunately, sobering up only left me a little less endowed in the wallet and just as utterly empty inside as before.

Members of the P2P community are always looking for something better, something faster, something just out of reach. The last time you tried to research music trackers, what did you find? Chances are, your “research” dead ends at a few familiar names with an all too familiar reputation. The two largest trackers, and two of the most coveted tracker memberships across the board, are not hard to remember — What.cd and Waffles. As easy as they are to remember, and as well respected as they are within the torrent community (even here at TPS), it’s easy to lose track of objectivity.
Your average noob doesn't know a great tracker from a dud!
So, how do you know they’re “the best” the net has to offer? Why should you not rest until one or even both of these mammoths are in your torrenting arsenal? more…
