  1. It's called T 10, the samsung (correction) in the picture.
  2. I have the above sony as well, it's nice enough. Only problem is that like every player and its mother it doesn't have proper buttons, but touch sensitive areas. 30 % of the time you will hit the wrong button. You will also need to lock it before putting it in your pocket or it will start doing whatever a random combination of buttons tells it to. On the plus side it can run a proper set of headphones instead of those horrid ear plug thingies. You don't want a player that doesn't have enough juice to properly amplify anything. It also has decent battery life. I just got the 4 gb version, and I haven't filled it up yet. The menus are a bit counter intuitive, especially with those spastic buttons, and they are not customizable like the Zen I had before this. Software package is an excellent combination of open source codexes which you can auto update when needed. Drag and drop interface - just plug it in and it is recognized as a drive, you won't need the software for anything unless you need to convert a movie to play on its pathetically tiny screen. Also no proprietory bull**** formats and no online stores or ad/bloatware built into the firmware.
  3. And again with the lack of understandable motivation for some characters. Ok so Romeo went a little cabin crazy, but the whole thing just seemed a little contrived. Drama out of nowhere. Deus ex machina character writing. Granted he's a better actor and that always helps, but still.
  4. Kind of another filler episode, moving the pieces into position for something thats going to happen later.
  5. There seems to be indications that they can smell fresh brains.
  6. I mean it should right, but then we get these cases that are missing half their heads.
  7. I wonder if a pre infection headshot would prevent a person from turning.
  8. I'm afraid I'm not in a good tactical position. I live on the 4th floor and there are no connected roofs I could use for escape. I have no suitable weapon other than perhaps filing a screwdriver to a point, and I have no supply of canned goods. There are many small boats mored by the south docks, I could probably steal one and head for one of the artificial islands in Copenhagen harbor, but getting there through the horde armed with a screwdriver is quite another story.
  9. By the way, dissertation in one month, not too shabby.
  10. You are now a licensed snob, congratulations.
  11. A ref panel surrounded by monitors would be pretty boring, lets face it, not knowing what the hell the **** in black is going to do next is part of the fun.
  12. United were the better team throughout the tourney. Also what a klutz that Chelsea captain.
  13. Clinton was much more aware of the threat posed by Bin Laden than Bush. Trying to put it all on him is surely selective amnesia.
  14. He should get more than If he were not wearing a badge while robbing so many people. The sentence amounts to life in prison, so it doesn't matter if its 82 or 1000 years. In my opinion he should be given the possibility of parole when he too old to contemplate doing anything like that again.
  15. The US is now the world leader in new low emission technologies, unfortunately its ambitions do not stretch very far beyond energy self sufficiency. It is not interested in signing up to any kind of emmission quotas that will have a tangible cost, especially not in the middle of a recession. The US is still the world's greatest polluter per capita, although China and India may be set to take the crown in the not too distant future. It's a positive development on the whole no doubt, but lets not mistake practicality for ideology. The focus on the technologies of the future started in the early days of the Bush administration, which should the the only proof needed that the motive here is one of national interest. Unless these clean technologies are going to be cheaper than the old ones, there isn't much hope that they are going to be embraced by the developing world though.
  16. Ohh I wouldn't call it a conclusion.
  17. Kara is the one who led them to the eventuality of the attack on the cylon hub, so it makes sense that it would somehow be a momentous mistake.
  18. One of those salaried people who can walk on water unless you happen to bump into the president of the company I see.
  19. It's sort of a throw back to homicide but taking a more explicit social angle.
  20. It's strong acting through and through, and it's got a sort of 1980-90s urban culture feel to it, pay phones and pagers, corruptuion alive and well. Like before they 'cleaned up' NY, although the setting is present day. I watched a few episodes that dealt with the murder of a young woman who was a witness/informant. It was very touching.
  21. Is that the one with the crackdealers in the project housing, corrupt politicians etc ?
  22. I dunno, maybe the cylon resurrection hub contains something important to human reproduction as well as cylon resurrection.
  23. Mmm.. I just pondered something, what I think would be a nice twist. What if the destruction of the human race consists in the ability to reproduce passing from human to cylon. This would then be tied somehow with the cylons losing their ability to download. I think I like the percentages of this really being the case.
  24. I did think that Athena shooting her was not sufficiently justified, or maybe Grace Park's acting muscles are just not as fit as the rest of her.
  25. Theres plenty of sixes to go around.
