  1. Watch shit old films. Usually they have no additional stuff, extra options etc. Just....a film.

    agreed. the films that come free with newspapers are usually good for that. The Carry On films that were free with some newspaper (the sun?) a while ago were really good. Some of them just went straight to the film and when they did have a menu it was just a simple menu.

  2. Well talk about stating the obvious mate, single her out, make an example of her, might drum into her fans heads that what she was doing was not "omg so fucking awesome".

    Courts are for justice, it's not justice if you "make an example" of someone. People should be sentenced based on the facts of their case, not to send a message to other people.

    That said, I think 45 days isn't enough, should be longer.

  3. Well there are a few possible reasons I assume:

    1) They think it looks nice

    2) They enjoy it physically (including spiritual reasons)

    3) Cultural/Historical reasons

    4) They think it makes them "cool"

    It could be any one or a combination of these. The same reasons people do everything.

    I'm no expert or anything though. I'm just some n00b.

  4. So I decided to read Hard Times by Charles Dickens first. I just finished it. It was awesome. Perhaps I shouldn't have stayed up until half past three in the morning to finish it...but meh.

    Next: Search for the Dice Man

    *prepares to be disappointed*

  5. I love it to bits, which is quite wierd i guess since i don't have any mods myself. I'm waiting for the first line of tech-based functional body mods to get out of beta.

    implanted rfid blood sugar measurer thing? YES PLEASE!

    those magnet implants in the end of your ring finger? YAYYY!

    /geekness.

  6. Just finished Jon Courtenay Grimwood's Arabesk trilogy. Very cool post-cyberpunk stuff.

    Today I bought:

    Hard Times by Charles Dickens

    Moby Dick by Herman Melville

    The Search for the Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart

    and a book about The Fall (the band, not the book)

    I dont know what to read first. yaaay.

  7. I find it pretty hard to believe that Apple would be able to release and distribute iTunes with a 'Rip Music' function if it was illegal to do that... That's like saying 'Oh Windows has a new thing, press F12 eight times and your computer can see in the dark' and then not letting you it out. OK maybe not the best example but you get the point...

    p.s. This is not a real trick for Windows. At least I don't think it is...

    People can distribute things which can potentially be used for illegal activities as long as they have a legal use.

    eg:

    You are allowed to buy a knife to cut up food.

    You are not allowed to stab people in the face.

    I hardly think ASDA would be able to release and distribute knives with a "stab in face" function if it was illegal to do that.

    oh wait, they can and do.

  8. Maiden Flight

    RANGERS are getting some special help on their way to Israel from rock legend Bruce Dickinson.

    The lead singer of heavy metal superstars Iron Maiden is flying the official team charter from Glasgow to Tel Aviv!

    Bruce Dickinson, Iron MaidenDickinson is a fully qualified pilot and regularly flies aircraft for charter firm Astraeus, the company who are flying Rangers to Tel Aviv on a 757.

    He specifically ASKED to fly the Ibrox men to the Israeli capital when he learned that Astraeus had landed the contract.

    Dickinson, who has sold millions of records worldwide with Iron Maiden, paid to learn to become a pilot and has passed all of his commercial pilot's licences exams.

    Rangers manager Walter Smith is a keen hard rock fan and was introduced to Iron Maiden by former Gers skipper Terry Butcher, who is a massive fan., when he joined the club back in 1986.

    Smith said: "I know their stuff quite well! I remember going to meet the band when they played in Edinburgh a few years ago.

    "I would never have thought that Bruce would be flying our plane."

    Maiden have been metal heavyweights for over two decades spawning hits like Run to the Hills, Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter and The Number of the Beast.

  9. I read 'Notes from Underground' last week and am reading 'The Double' at the moment. (both by Dostoyevksy.)

    still reading the bible, someone needs to edit the hell out this thing. get rid of all the chapters which are just people begetting each other and replace that shit with a bigass family tree.

    I also got the collected works of William Carlos Williams (pt 2...dont have pt 1 yet though) and also got 'Alice in Wonderland'/'Through the looking glass' when i bought the Dostoyevsky stuff last week.

  10. "ever heard of freedom of speech? freedom of choice. here we are in this foul "year of our lord" 2007. you people are living in the dark ages.

    im not gay but that website is just abysmal. i totally disagree

    did you know that every vertibrate animal on this planet has 7 bones in its neck, from a cat to a giraffe. could be seen as proof that we all evolved from the same thing and weren't made out of mud by an all powerful being that blames us for his own mistakes.

    you know this is the kind of thing normally associated with hitler right? except he hated YOU as well. "

    emailed to the webmaster there not 10 minutes ago.

    doubt i'll get a reply but if i do i'll post it up.

    i'm going to send him an email with utter nonsense every day until i get a reply back. make up 'facts'

    that help prove the evolution theory and voice my distaste

    I hope you are trolling.

  11. i think the problem is that despite thousands of years of education, experimentation and philosophising we still know fuck all about a lot of things, not just science. for all we know god is hiding in some uncharted part of deep see laughing at us as we run round in circles, like some demented game of deity hide and seek.

  12. also the year 2007 refers to AD 2007 , Anno Domino(in the year of our lord). this refers to Jesus and is a measure of time based on the traditionally recognised birthdate of Jesus. anything before this is BC, before christ. Christians do concede that things happened before Christ came on the scene. Dinosaurs are another matter though :)

    it would suck if we had to write the date starting from when the earth was formed. so i think we can all thank jesus for that.

  13. let's begin:

    He created heaven and earth in the dark......

    He's God, He can create the anything in the anything. Just because YOU couldn't do it, doesnt mean he can't. He can do anything, that's why he's God.

    On the 3rd day he created the light/the sun........Thus confusing me further as how can there be day/night within the 1st 3 days of the sun being created........

    Thats the point. Many people at the time worshipped the sun and moon as gods because they brought night and day (and therefor the things they represented to the culture: birth, death, rebirth. There is a huge amount of depth to go into on that subject.). The idea here is to make sure that people don't think that the sun and the moon are gods by disassociating them from day and night.

    God made man and woman in His own image.Maybe the 1st recorded hermaphrodite

    maybe?......How can both male and female be in the image of god?......

    He is the alpha and the omega, he is everything. he could have made them in the image of a pandaroo and they'd still be in his image since he is everything and nothing. And if that doesn't float your boat, there are many other interpretations available of what is meant by "made in his image" aswell, perhaps it doesn't mean physically at all, perhaps it means that we are meant to be beings of peace and love, like the G man.

    It makes me laugh that this day in age people still follow the bible and certain religions when science and facts have surfaced TELLING us how the earth was created and WHEN..........

    see my earlier posts for possible explanations for this.

    To be honest you haven't really tried to add anything at all to the thread with that post, you have just come in and attacked religion because for some reason you dislike it. Maybe instead of attacking religion you should spend some time trying to figuire out why feel the need to try and destroy something that brings other people happiness.
