Its probably due to their size. They can only fit in that much into a small box. Then again, many new laptop models actually have pretty decent speakers and many even come with sub-woofers

I’ll have a look at it but to be honest, I’m undecided whether I’ll start using it again or not. you see, when it blocked Google all of my blogs that were using it instantly lost all of the ranking that I have worked hard to gain. Even though I disabled the plugin as soon as I found out about the problem the damage had already been done. All of my blogs went to UNRANKED instantly. One of which was a PR4! That was TWO YEARS of hard work flushed down the toilet in almost no time at all. As you might imagine I am significantly less than thrilled at this. I’m even less thrilled that I have still not recovered my rankings. Not just PR but SERPs positioning as well. Traffic from Google SERPs is *STILL* down by 90% of what it was. This means that I am going to have to start my rank building campaign all over again from scratch, possibly spending ANOTHER two years rebuilding Google rankings that this borked plugin managed to utterly destroy in a matter of hours.

Do I sound bitter and pissed?

You better fucking believe it!

Somebody else’s thing screws up and *I* get to pay the penalty. Thanks a fucking lot!

I attempted to do so. That trac bug reporting system blows chunks in a big way. Not at all friendly to people who have never seen it before.

Ah, I found your post, in the Akismet spam queue, of all places. Sorry about that.

Seems the issue is Google is crawling from a completely new IP address range. I’ve updated Bad Behavior and the new version (2.0.43) should be showing up in the WordPress plugin repository in a few minutes.

Well, you could have reported the problem, too.

Please send me log entries showing where Googlebot was blocked. As far as I know, any such issues were fixed long ago.

Don’t you know that it would be called ‘child abuse’ to make sure that they do not know how they are endangering others’ lives? You seem to have forgotten that this society is permissive of anything except for common sense. Yes, that is sarcasm speaking. After all, I consider that my life is more important than some juvenile commenting on someone wearing the same clothes as the idiot who is texting.

They probably won’t have any friends left either, unless they too are having bed problems.

The only other submarine movie I can think of off the top of my head is “Operation Petticoat”. It’s a World War 2 comedy staring Cary Grant, Tony Curtis, Gavin MacLeod about a submarine commander who finds himself stuck with a decrepit (and pink) sub, a con-man executive officer and a group of army nurses.

For non-movie submarine-related stuff, there’s always “Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea” and “the television series based on “Operation Petticoat”.
