What I want is one of these which isn't perversely expensive

That microsoft toy looks like those day planner thingies people were running around with 8 years ago. Now with finger pointing instead of plastic fiddlestick.

Those are some geriatric aliens. Playing alien in AVP 1&2 felt like 100 miles an hour, which was one of the key advantages over the other races.

I'm impressed he told his wife.

For data security a raid configuration would be preferable. Your data would exist on any number of drives simultaneously, and load times improve. One HDD is certainly not enough. I haven't got raid on my desktop but I keep a folder on all my drives with stuff I don't want to lose to a chance failure. Drives are pretty inexpensive nowadays anyways.

Depends on what case you have, some allow you to pop the drives out with very little hassle, other you need to unscrew everything first. Unless you plan on taking the drive with you regularly there is no need to pay extra for a USB HD.

Well who cares what it says on the cover if it can deliver what few netbooks can on the cheap. If this was my midlife crisis Alienware I would have chosen a bigger model

Anything with a pulse is more attractive than the doll.

Me love you looong time. Ok no more semi racist remarks from now on.

The big problem was that the quest markers seemed to stop working propperly while in the metro, showing a way ahead where there was none, pointing the wrong way, etc, which meant lots and lots of wading aimlessly about.

In the old days before rampant movie piracy, waiting 6 months for a movie to finally arrive in the theaters Europe was not uncommon. Now I can't fathom why people would bother downloading something filmed directly off the screen with a camcorder, but apparently enough do that the distributers have been shaken out of their complacancy and generally release movies more or less at the same time. I can't say I'm unhappy with the outcome. I suspect that the same effect is going to happen with TV shows. The producers will realise that they must make their show available or lose out. The end result will benifit the consumer.

"He went to get a Thai massage. No one until now has proved this is a brothel," she said. "Be reasonable; who goes to a brothel in the middle of the day while wearing a Portsmouth uniform when he knows he is a famous person? The place in question is a massage parlour; a place where you get massages. It would be fair to assume that those places offer both massages and 'massages', after all without any discernible legal activity going on they would open themselves up to police or IRS interest.

Maybe she's just relieved not to have to do the deed herself. I take it we are talking about 'massages', not mere massages.

The little red riding hood analogy gets a bit tired, but it's a good movie.

This is Tactics cannon ?

NETWORK CARD Integrated 10/100 Network Interface Card That's it. Not very netbook like, a bit of a scam making the rest 'extras' if you ask me.

Well that was back in the 40s, since then the US has had plenty of chance to repeat the experience and has chosen not to. The brittish starved millions of Indians as a result of their policies in India in the 19th ct. How relevant is that in today's world.

Things to notice. The basic model comes with NO WLan. Comes with NO Optical drive. What exactly can you use a thing like that for ?. has a 8,5 hr battery life, factoring for the usual lies about battery all manufacturers endulge in that would mean 4-5 hour actual battery life. But how do you get it to run reliably. Can you do a network install if the OS needs to be replaced ?. I'm guessing it's an OEM. Maybe you could boot an OS off a USB stick if you got really creative. On the positive side it looks very cheap for something with an alienware sticker on it. How good is the GFX, is there value for money here. Is a screen like that tolerable. 1366x768 sounds a bit oddball, would probably not run very much in native resolution ?. Congratulations!

Seems to me that splinter dimensions follow logically from time travel, unless you have the whole automatic correction thing they were talking about last season, everything has already happened etc. Smoke man/mayan god or whatever, certainly seems to think that free will makes a difference.

Relating personal experience of drug use would not get a thread shut down.

I would post in this thread, but some mod is going to come by and close it for no clear reason, so what's the point. Some clarification is in order here. We are allowed to talk about piracy, and saying that it's a bad thing is also allowed, i'm just going on precedence here. As soon as one of the radicals show up and argue that file sharing or indeed piracy has no detectible downside however, the mods feel as if we have offended our hosts and summarily close the thread. It would be nice to have something more to go on than feelings.

Where is the passenger module, do you just hold on to those ladder looking things for dear life ...

Also Ponyo was nice, but I kinda felt like I had seen it already. Still better than shreck # whatever though.

CGI in the background and the environment is just fine, for the main characters though it falls horribly short compared to good ol' fashioned line drawings. You sense the software at work and it just lacks charm. I don't know how else to explain it. Sometimes CGI characters work, but it isn't very often.
