In New Zealand it is almost impossible to buy a player that is not set to multiregion. If they are not then you are given a sheet of paper with the firmware sequence to change it your self with the player. You can go in and change them back if region 4 if you want:)
You obviously are watching a different F1 championship to the rest of the planet. BMW have, along with Toyota, the most powerful and reliable units in F1(excluding Schumacher's Ferrari, it just won't break). MB, now they ARE building crap at the moment, but that is as likely to be the McLaren chassis twisting the engine too much.
As for Ferrari building interesting cars, not likely. The don't need to, the have the name behind them and only need to sell 3000 cars a year, that's all they build.
The W engine doesn't need to trickle down to Audi, it started with them, as far back a 1991. That was with three banks of cylinders and in a VW as the current VV four banks since 1997.
VW have owned Audi since the 1960s. And as a side note Bentley too, that is why as soon as Audi pulled out of LeMans Bentley started winning, an engineer/designer swap over to the Bentley factory and a quick bit of rebadging.:)
Yes that is true and that you don't know that is indicitive of the dumbing down of news and reporting of the only things which help the cause. The official death toll of 9/11 including the Pentagon is around 3000. The number of deaths in Afghanistan is rapidly approaching 4000.
Count yourself lucky, she was going to have a very much larger part until the found out some important things about Liv, can't act, doesn't like hard work, is scared of horses, won't wear armour or the like.
They reshot a lot of scenes so they could remove her and reduce her role from the one first written.
Yep, that is definitely Maori, didn't catch much of a look, I was on my way out when I remembered to look and check. I'll try to get a translation next time.
Yes but remember, Hollywood usually only casts the English as bad guys, well guys with English accents anyway. They are well enough known outside the US, based on a pretty popular series of books.
Then just be thankful she had her part severely cut back. She was to be a bit of a warrior princess but upon discovering that she can't act (or at least she can't play anyone but Liv Tyler), was scared of horses, hard work and wouldn't wear any armour or weapons (only soft flowing dresses are good enough for our Liv) they wrote her out of most of her role.
Oi Aussie, hands off! That is a kiwi ad, geez guys what you gonna try to steal off us next:)
We have a few cricketers you are welcome to, assuming of course you don't break them all on us over next few days.
The only thing bigger than John Ashcroft's ego is his all out crusade to turn America into a Communist country where corporate america rules.
So that would be Capitalist America, where whatever fish gets to grow the biggest rules the rest, Ashcroft is just picking his favourite fish to feed. Nothing to do with Communism here, move along people.
Very good post.
You may not like the reasons but it does not change the truth. The assumption that all the world will view your actions the same and agree with your motivations is naive.
The reasons the terrorists used as motivation may not have been morally right, but seeing a link between US foriegn policy and the anger they felt is logically right. Unfortunately attacks of one magintude or another will continue as long as the policy does.
I'll bite, I've got some time to waste. Global warming leads to more extreme weather. Harsher winters, hotter summers, more severe storms.
In other words if you live in a region with cold snowy winters then you can expect them to get consistantly worse.
One of the most ironic things about this is that one of the most severly hit countries will be the US. More very severe storms in the gulf of mexico, industry crippling snowfalls in the north. Tornado alley to become tornado expressway. Droughts across many food producing states. Heat waves across the pacific coast. Kind of funny really.

Bullshit. Things are not good the way they are.
We are eating a cocktail of chemicals; fertilizers, pesticides, hericides, hormones and people are being poisioned at a frightening rate.
Child cancer rates have skyrocketed, as have asthma, allergies, chemical imbalance disorders, the soil and water systems are getting trashed by residual chemicals, the food chain if a fucking mess. What is more, the amount of chemicals being used is increasing as more intensive farming methods are adopted.
Now GE may or may not be a solution but if there is a chance that these chemicals could be largely eleminated it needs to be looked into. Make all seeds infertile for the first 10 years if you want, require 10 year field trails before they get the final assesment of whether they are better or worse.
But do not give me this crap that things are wonderful, pristine, and uncorrupted. Things are a mess, many foods we eat are poisonous and I don't know about you but I want the likelyhood of having to watch my family die from chemical diet induces cancers to be lowered.
GE might help, it might not. It requires careful research, but anyone who wants things to continue on the current tack is deluded.

It is O notation, standard Comp Sci. complexity metric. Not that it is totally useful, but it is an indicator and n(n-1)/2 is eqivalent to n^2.

Nice troll. Completely devoid of fact or evidence and you still fill a page. 10/10.

December 17th, estimates 3200
Jan 3rd, estimates 2998
The number has been revised down every couple of weeks since the attack.

no there is not
The stab in eye and then shoot arrow was computer generated, so were the ones fired very quickly, he was just miming.

He is near the gates of Bree, the bearded man chewing on a carrot and burping at the camera.

Yes, it is amazing how fast you can shoot computer generated arrows isn't it? He only had to mime geting an arrow out and drawing the string.

It's just you. He was the good guy in the Sharp's Rifles series of movies about a soldier in the Nepoleonic wars. Good too.

Nope, all the army scenes were done in house at Weta Digital in New Zealand.
