Damn straight. For the longest time Tiff was the lead man on "Top Gear", but then it seems that Jeremy's personality got big enough that there wasn't room for the two of them, relegating the *brilliant* Tiff and Vicky Butler-Henderson to (what seems to be) their own show, Fifth Gear.
I hope they open up BBC2's broadcasts of "Top Gear" to this sort of thing. I'd gladly pay $3 for that. Maybe not $3 for an episode of Fifth Gear (it's 30 mins to Top Gear's 60), but damn Tiff is a good driver. Just look at how easy and relaxed he is "testing" the then-new Noble M12 GTO-3R on a wet and oily race track!
I'd like to see Jeremy and Tiff back together. Jeremy pretends to belittle Tiff, but...
Agreed, Kill Bill was awesome. Not only did QT and UT come up with an awesome character, they had a very healthy supporting cast to, well, support. Lucy Liu is always a joy to watch, and the fact that they all (much like the Matrix cast) had to learn Japanese and Kenjutsu (Samurai Sword Martial Art), they aren't just faking it to look good.
Sure it's a popcorn movie, and most people will forget about it until "Best Movie of..." questions like this are raised, but it's a damn fine popcorn flick and I can't wait for Volume II.
Though my pick for best movie since sliced bread would be The Last Samurai. It was more dramatic, serious, and historical. And seeing someone I've never been impressed with (Tom Cruise) actually turn in an exceptional performance was a pleasant surprise. Props to the people who greenlit TLS.
I'm just a C++ student at the local community college, so I don't know a lot about the usefulness of the various other stuff it comes with, but I ordered the Personal edition on CD from shop.borland.com a few days after it was released, and have been in love with it from the beginning.
The textbook our class uses comes with CodeWarrior, which I can't stand, so I opted for BuilderX. All CDs of BuilderX I've seen (Personal and Enterprise) have installs for all the supported OSs on one disc (Win32, Solaris, Linux) and support whatever compilers you may want to use.
There doesn't seem to be much in the way of tools to design GUI programs, but I don't need that at the moment anyway. The Java-based UI is surprisingly fast, only slightly slower than the GTK+-2.0 port of Anjuta, which isn't nearly as stable as C++BuilderX.
All in all, for my $10(+$12.50 S&H) I'm quite pleased.
My one gripe would be the lack of documentation on the C Library functions. They're there, and you can of course use them, but no dox.
