  1. It's just windows XP with a desktop addon. http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6567

    Frank Zappa

    All of them, they are all slightly different... but definately try for the earlier stuff.
  3. Ah... then nuff said, I still have the mental scars from highschool when the rugby team took on the girls at Hockey.... it was brutal... never seen so many crying players.... all the guys! Give a give a hockey stick and they go all primitive on people!
  4. I still don't know what ya playing? Or am I missing something? And I'll have you know "fetch the beer from the fridge" is catching on... may go professional anytime soon!
  5. So what ya play? ...... hadn't heard of a girls tea party league..... http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png
  6. I'm not bitter at all, but then I didn't have to fork over $30 for the POS.
  7. Option C, A smaller version fo the top one http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png
  8. It's a nicer looking CS, the bots are as dumb as bots ever were, okay maybe a little better..... The look is great, the maps slightly changed, the missions are a joke:- Kill 10 enemies Kill 2 enemies in one round and survive. Win a round in 45 seconds or less. So basically they want you to rush, not play tactically. I guess it would be okay for practicing your marksmanship... but so is podbot. I got it for free and feel I overpaid. Seriously, it's probably worth around $9.99 as a skin pack.
  9. While Rashomon is a great movie, same leading actor as Yojimbo, I just prefer His other works.
  10. I was going to scream, how can you list his films and not put Yojimbo, the BEST of his works in my opinion. I own both Yojimbo and the Seven Saurai in their Original Japanses format.... totalling over 7 hours of subtitle if you watch them both, but well worth the patience to watch them. As Indemnity states The Seven Samuraii was the influence for the magnificent Seven, though it had a much greater meaning... with strong cultural ties, the moving on of Japanese history.... and I am sure this movie was a BIG influence for the Last Samurai... See last paragraph for frther comments but be warned it contains a spoiler for the Seven Samurai. Yojimbo again has western movie connections. Yojimbo is based on a novel set in the texas border during prohibition, where one loane gunman gets caught in the crossfire, so he plays off one gang against the other to try and turn a profit. Kurosawa took this and created a movie that echoed the story but was set in fuedal Japan. This movie was then taken and turned into a western, this time set in the old west and starring Clint Eastwood as the man with no name, in A fist full of Dollars..... The orignal book was made into a moviw for a third time, this time in the original form of the book, prohibtion era Texas, this time starring Bruce Willis, The Last man Standing. ::::::::SPOILER WARNING:::::::: In the Seven Samurai the only samurai to die are killed by fire arms, and they resist using them themselves, and this is again echoed in the Last Samurai.... It takes many years of study to become a master of the sword, and very little to learn to shoot a musket. ::::: END SPOILER :::::
  11. I spent the first 30 years of my life existing... the last 4 have been living. At age 30 I sold all my shit, moved halfway across the world to marry my now wife, who prior to that I had spent the grand total of 64 days in teh presence of.... I lirterrally own 2 suitcases and $5k..... 3 years later I own 2 new cars, am buying a house and am very happily married. I've seen lots of California, Nevada and Arizona and if I am off work, i am usually not home! For the whole of my adult life in the Uk I worked, drank and got by... never had a new car, didn't take vacations but I wasn't short of anythign either..... what changed in my life... me... I decided that 30 years of taking the safe route hadn't done shit for me.. so I took a chance and it worked out.... My entire ethic has changed..... I don't live to work, I work to live.... wish i had realised that safe isn't always best 10 years earlier. Mike, if you can get through that start in life with your self respect and integrity intact their is nothing that can stop you!..... and FYI, you work in my wifes favortite restaurant... unfortunately i have to drive her 240 miles to the nearest one!
  12. It wasn't too smart an idea for David Korresh in the 90's either.... only he got his from the ATF and FBI.
  13. Just make a series of gif's, then use imageready, gif factory or Paint shop Pro to weld them together, add timing and transitions.
  14. I hate the cold winters here in California, it was on a thursday this year. http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png
  15. Nope. I spent 2 years levelling that toon... another 2 building his rep.... cost me more than that in phone charges!
  16. I used to play the Realm... Still do in fact, but I had a maximum level Elf Warrior that was just rock solid in PvP..... I was offered $750 for the account.... seriously sad individual.
  17. It isn't the greatest, I use B=Gold, that is what sony ships with it's burners.

    Fav movies?

    Yeah, it is pretty funny.... though the scary thing is there was talk of a sequel a few years ago.... And My wife loves Ever-After Christie... and therefore I get to see it pretty often too... but who can complain about any movie with Drew Barrymore in http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png
  19. This ones pretty old..... 1971-72.http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/post-2-1079847312_thumb.jpg
  20. I'm sorry, Chrome Ak's just remind me of the A-Team.... This isn't too recent but a lot of Tarantino's movies have common threads.... Vic Vega - Reservioir dog's is the cousin of Vincent Vega - Pulp Fiction. Joe Cabot asks Mr White (lReservior dogs) About 'Bama - short for Alabama, the heroine of True Romance, another Tarantino Movie. All Tarantino's leading characters that smoke, smoke Red Apples, a brand made up by him and in Reservior Dogs, Pulp Fiction and True Romance. Burgers, Big kahuna Burger, in both True Romance and Pulp Fiction. Vincent Scagnetti - Parole officer, his name appears in both Pulp Fiction and Reservior Dogs. There are others but I have proved my geekdom enough for one night.
  21. When your speeding it doesn't matter how good you are, you could meet the worlds worst driver coming the other way. Without a doubt, morally stealing is a far worse crime, but when you add up the end results, it does give you something to think about.
  22. I'd guess at the Anne Rice Character for lestat. Mine, in the UK I played as El Mariachi, the Character from teh movie of the same name and later Desperado..... Moved to California and the servers were full of them, so I swapped to English Bob, the Richard Harris character from the Unforgiven.
  23. A imple dilemma, which is the worst crime... Speeding in your car or Shoplifting.... simple you think, speeding doesn't hurt anybody... whereas shoplifting, well it's stealing! I am starting to disagree.... Shoplifting:- Mostly small items, still costs businesses around 8% of their turnover on average, a LOT more than that in some areas obviosly. It does do serious damage to small mom and pop stores. The Walmarts of the world still turn a very tidy profit despite what is stolen. It drives up the prices for those of us that prefer to pay for our goods.... It doesn't harm anyone physically. Speeding:- It doesn't really hurt anyone... actually, it does: Accodents involving vehicles travelling 10mph in access of the posted limit are over 25% more likely to result in a serious injury/death than those st lower speeds. In vehicle VS pedestrian accidents, exessive speed is 5 times more likely to result in a fatality. When in the country, it's hard to dodge a deer that runs out at 40mph... it's virtually impossible at 70. Your killing wildlife. Your damaging the environment, all cars are bad for the environment, but they get best gas mileage in the 45-60mph range, one you put the hammer down your creating more pollution and using more resources... While I am personally feel stealing is the worst crime, when you add up the figures, it certainly starts to look the other way. Give your opinion and why. NOTE: I've never stolen anything (other than office supllies from work!) and I am an habitual speeder (165mph on a public freeway is personal moment of greatest stupidity).
  24. Nero is only compatable with one or two iso types, search for WINIso, that way you can convert them to a Nero compatable one.
