Ok people how many of you watch all this extra 5hit? Or more to the point how many people out there buy movies and never watch them? I know I do, and it's ridiculous if you think about it. I have DVDs that are still in there plastic and I'll probably never watch them. I think the only resign why I buy them is for the geek factor like Logan's Run for instance "oh wow look Logan's Run's on DVD with extra footage I better get this!" I'm never-guna watch Logan's Run again, but there it is, I'm looking at it right now and you know what?... it's still in it's plastic next to other DVD's in the same condition.
I get the feeling I'm not the only one who does this.
Funny, thinking about it I have to agree with you on that. I never read the books and the only resign I saw Harry potter was because my girlfriend wanted to see it. I thought it would have been another movie to put me to sleep, like Moolin Rouge so I had 3 gin & tonics before the show. But to my surprise it was pretty good, much better then star wars episode 1 and a little better then episode 2. I give episode 2 more credit because it had Boba Fet in it even though he was only 11 or something. Anything with Boba Fet in it is cool by default. So in other words if Boba Fet was in Harry Potter it would be the greatest movie of all time.
I'm no expert so I could very well be wrong but this sounds like a job for a solid-state computer. No moving parts? I know NASA used solid-state computers with the Apollo missions do they still prefer them?
How is this guy extremely ignorant? It's impossible to know everything. I think it's a valid request. After all there are far to many acronyms in this world.
BTW at least "pro-wrestling" tells you there full of shit. Unlike the World Wildlife Fund.
you do know kids are not required to say it in school?....
Once I learned I did not have to say the pledge in school I stopped. I was in the 8th grade and yes I was called down to the principles office, but the reality was is that I was right. And it was a great moment in my life for the first time I had a small rebellious victory I stuck it to "The MAN" Yeah!... later on that day I was beat up by a Nelson clone (Simpson's reference) and called a "commie fag" by him and the girl I had a crush on.
So in hindsight they should let students know that it is an option and not a requirement, after all this is a democracy. Hell I bet the farm and the three-legged cow that kids don't even know what there saying when they say the pledge. Plus I wager all my WorldCom and Enron stocks that the teachers don't know anything about the origins or history of the pledge.
So I misread that word,"paddock" "padlock" personally I thought it was a typo sorry I'm not up on my robot fighting. In any case like I said if it's true recreate the situation for the robot to see if it's a learned behavior. Then I'll shut up.
One of the main reasons I find this hard to believe is the fact that the scientists were keeping this machine under control with a "make-shift padlock" as if it were a wild animal. It's a machine right? So would they not tern it off or pull the plug. I doubt the electronics were so sensitive that it could not be turned off; it was in a "survival of the fittest" test after all.
And if this is a true story recreate the scenario.
Could this be the first move back to a solid-state computer? Obviously you would not get rid of your hard drives and other storage media. But what's to stop you from having your operating system on some type of flash memory?
What if we just kill every one who is causing us problems? We all know the old sayings "violence never solves anything" & "tern the other cheek" and we all know that's bullshit. Violence can solve any problem. Violence stopped Hitler. Violence built great civilizations. It puts food on your table. It makes 1st person shooters fun to play.
yes im saying the above in jest, but certainly an asswhoppen is in order here.
what if it's 12AM where you are but the site that your downloading from is in a different time zone and it's 9PM. i know i rarely ever download any thing from over seas but i do connect to the west coast an awful lot and im in boston. so who would pay under this mod?
This is the matrix remember? You know the movie that knocked Hollywood on it's ass with bitching CGI, not lame CGI like phantom menace. Why where the FX better in the Matrix then in Phantom Menace? Answerer, the filmmakers of the matrix realize that not every thing can be done with computers. Some shoots just look better when filmed with real sets not CGI blue/green screen sets.
Now I can't speak for every one. Only single 20ty something dogs. What I know is that you will not get laid playing this game. If you do not have a girlfriend (or boyfriend if swing that way) you will never get a girl while playing this game. Conversely if you have a girlfriend it's possible that you will no longer have one towards the end of this game. I know some of you out there know what I'm talking about. I killed a very good relationship 2 summers ago due to my addiction to Deus ex's quasi-real environment. (I curse you J.C. Denton, Tracer Tong, and agent Simon.) last year I played Baldur's Gate2 for hours and never got laid. So F you BioWare I learned my lesson im getting mad poontang now and I ant playing your games no more. But lord help me when Deus ex 2 comes out. Yeah I know this is flame bate TaTa.
Sounds like some of these people could use the "internet in a box program"
Do any of you remember this piece shit from 2 years ago it was a ½ hour infomercial hosted by that dopey actor from home improvement. They bundled a ton of freeware into a box and sold it for 200$ or five easy installments of 40$.
It would some how always be on whenever I was doing bong hits with friends. "...good times..."
I know this is getting a tad off topic.
But the problem with welfare here in the US is that only 30 cents of every welfare dollar in the welfare budget goes to some who needs welfare. The rest is eaten up by the fed bureaucracy.
Sit-ups! Strengthening the abdominal muscles reduces the strain on the back and improves your posture. "It's your body use it or lose it" I know that sounds cliché but the saying is true.
Some of us do not have cable or satellite dishes (like me) and some of those people live in an area that only gets 2 or 3 channels on TV on a good day (like me). So I think its super cool that some people take the time to rip the programs to divx. If they did not I would have a hard time trying to watch Farscape, Star Trek, or Jack Ass. Now I understand that studios make money by syndicating there shows to regional stations, but I think a valid argument can be made that they could make more money by allowing people to down load shows directly from the studios that make them. I would gladly pay 20$ to 30$ a year to download new episodes of a series that I liked. I know that for some reason (lawyers) studio executives are fearful of losing control of their media. But this is all hyperbole; it would be like a magazine subscription. You never hear of Better Homes and Gardens crying about lost revenue from some one Xeroxing copies of their mag.
thank you satellite rippers you are the salt of the earth.
Why not put a giant mirror into geo sequences orbit and bounce lasers off of it.
Wouldn't that be faster then a hollow fiber optic connection?
Maybe this is a bad idea with cloud cover and all;P
I know this is a little off topic, but I have always loathed using public payphones for the simple fact that the headset is a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria. Call me paranoid, but it's been over10 years since the last time I have had a cold or been sick. And yes I also use a paper towel to open the door in a restroom.

This is the greatest day of my life, openGL on the cellphone!!!
YES!
This is truly supper-wicked-awesome.
Take that Russia! um?... I mean Bin Laden (waving fist in the air)
Yes!!
what's a cellphone?

Yeah I know I used an acronym. hehe
NO!!!
next question.
I was in a punk-rock band and we used to cover this song. It was the only song we could play well.
ahh good times.....
thats very cool.
i like what she did. if only more teachers could do that.

has a way back machine, so it must be good.
Obscure reference only hard-core News Radio fans would get, but not necessarily find funny...

you work for macrovision, don't you?
This just in with a new mod the xbox can now be used as a bon...umm?
water pipe.
So kids we can now all sit around smoking or "supporting terrorism" with are new bong Xbox while watching a divx of Rambo III
