Just watched the Matrix Reloaded. Hmmm Whata a pile a poo. The fight scenes were ace as expected, especially that highway scene, but the dialogue was crap. Those Wachowski Bros have gone so far up their own arses. There was so much therotical bullshit. Every scene was 'I believe X. I beleive u beleive Y. ENough with the beleives. And that whole cause and effect bit with the merovingian. While the average/.er would be able to follow it the average joe would have trouble. I watched it with several joes and they had no idea. I always thought Dark City did the whole, what is reality/what makes us human thing better. Its pretty much the same story.
Hopefully Revolutions will help us out.
BTW I live in London and watch it from a DVD I bought from guy on the street down at the local shops. It really was a quality copy. Could use a bit of contrast but all-in-all a very good copy. Also got X-men 2 which was also great.
A philospher, Descartes I think, said a long time ago its impossbile to prove that the world is not a figment of your imagination. Basically this is a rehash of this.
I just hope not cuase I would like to think my brain would assign me a better job than the crap i have.
Every article has this post in it somewhere. Nobody cares. If its dying, then less people are using = less people who care. No one cares. Let alone the 500 time.
according to an article from SMH the dam is filling but is cracking. Thats a bit of a worry. THey tried fixing them but failed. Nice. These dams are a real worry.
I actually saw this on TV this morning. I think this is the first time ever that something appeared there before on/. Whats happening.
But this does sound like seriously cool stuff. You could freak out people with it. Hang on the ceiling and wait for your mum/wife/girlfriend to come home and then jump down. Fun!
true but its not like australia or the us where we have national parks the size of small european countries. the lakes district is really small. i went there and was quite surprised how small it was.
Some advise. Don't. I am an australian living in london. I have been here for a year. IT sucks. IT so expensive. So crowded. So disorganised. So dirty. ITs terrible. Its not like New York or something where you can get out into the country. THer eis no country here. Just wait till you catch the tube during rush hour. THe weather is crap and the beer sucks.
Remember the chinese have lots and lots of manpower. I'm sure if they stood on each others shoulders they could reach the moon.
But seriously, they don't have the problem of people dying. Over there if someone dies in space, they would be declared heros of the revolution/people/etc and the missions would keep going. Remember this is the nation with 3,000,000 man army. THats lots of volunteers.
I think this is quite amusing. Who here can really say they wouldn't give themselves god powers if they worked out how. I would have loved to have walked around smiting anyone I see.
Now maybe I can get my parents off my back. THey are always going on about wasting my life playing games. Now I can say I am improving my visual skills. Sweet!!!
I actually heard of a scam like this is the US. They put in a fake ATM which had a laptop installed. The machine would take in the card aand then you would enter your pin. It would then say your card has been retained blah blah blah. THey put it in the middle of a big mall. Perfect.
Bring on no. 3. I know its DnD but I still think it was orignal and really one of the best games round. I spent 1 year uni exams playing that and second year playing no. 2
I didn't know they were still making games for Dreamcast. I assumed they wouldn't make any money. THe only time I see dreamcast now is in pawn shops for £100 with 20 games.

The old god by defualt. Cause we can't show why X happens/is/whatever there must be a god.

If the US can't do it maybe they can. I vote goes with the Japanese. They always do stuff better than the yanks.
I totally agree. But my argument is the one they use to get China into the WTO and other things.
Also we shouldn't begrudge poorer nations our help.

Die you pimple faced geek!!!
I would think that the US would want Asia to develop more so they could become greater trading partners.

That has to be one of my all time favourites. Having read all 6 books, they do go a bit crazy towards the end but the first one is a definate read.
Also for a little philosophy check out the Tao of Pooh. Explains a chinese philosophy for Life throught Pooh and Piglet. Really good.

Get outta my way!

Check out the Billabong XXL Surf Contest. They are only surfing 66 footers now. This would have them creaming the inside of their strides.
