    Actually it's 9.99 and only available through this special offer.
  2. I watched about 2 seconds of the original show, and everyone seemed to be wearing spandex and having mustashes. Decided it was not for me.

    Well I thought Cin City was quite enjoyable. I'm not sure why hating Frank Miller is mandatory now. I haven't seen, or bought, this crappy batman he supposedly made and i'm quite looking forward to a historically incorrect action movie.
  4. The Emperor did very well once he stopped being a sneaky senator, his acting even improved.
  5. " That was beaten to death over on the BSG forums. The shows producer RJM came right out and said if you are seeing real life allegories in that show, then you are the one putting them there." Weeeeeel, the analogies are obvious, so i'd say he's lying. Anyway it need not be specifically about Iraq, but rather about the things that occupy our attention because of Iraq, and much less of course is there any need to suggest that Cylons = such and such, and the humans = such and such.
  6. It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does.
  7. There is one ? Personally i'm holding out for Captain Lower Moldavia and Sargent Lichtenstein. Corporal Copenhagen ? Superpowers include singing loudly and out of tune and increased hangover regeneration rate.
  8. " Maybe not a Ben Affleck movie, but there will be a movie. Its in the works over at Marvel Pictures. I think they're aiming for a 2009 release" Ugh.. honestly, a dude with little wings on the side of his ears who throws around a giant shield with a flag symbol on it. As superhero concepts go it's pretty horrible.
  9. Volume matters, you are unlikely to be completely deaf to a frequency but could well be hearing impared in that specific range. You can only tell if the volume is suitably low to reveal it.

    This is a fantasy movie, not the history channel.
  11. Captain America was a joke. There isen't going to be a Ben Afleck move, and thank the gods for it.
  12. I have no ambition to do anything unless I feel I have to or get inspired. That happens just often enough to keep me from being a complete failure.
  13. Its funny, after I woke up after falling asleep and the page with the test was still open, I could actually hear the last tone, very faint, but definately there.
  14. Andrew clearly failed in the crucial customer smalltalk department, which is what keeps them comming back.
  15. I never had that on any of my mp3 players. It's an option when I rip mp3s but I have no notion what settings are appropriate.
  16. It should not be too difficult to create software that will not allow say, an MP3 player, to output levels that will result in damage to your ears. That could solve the problems of leves of mp3 files as well. I hate the way some of mine are just barely audible, and when the next track comes on its so loud I have to rip off my headphones.
  17. Remember you have to turn it down so you can just barely hear the test tone first.
  18. I went to the ear doctor today because I had a blockage in my right ear, which was taken care of in a minuite. So then he decides to give me a test to see if everything was ok, and it turns out I have moderate hearing loss. :S Not in the spectrum of speech but in the high frequencies, which is why I never noticed it. Apparently all it takes is one concert played too loud and standing in the wrong place. Remember your earplugs kids. http://www.freehearingtest.com/core.shtml You can test yourself here. I can't hear a damn thing in the final 8 hrz category. Almost wish I didn't find out because now i'm all depressed about growing old and the various inevitable system's failures.

    Sounds expensive but kinda fun. Beats climbing Everest or buying a porshe anyway.
  20. I just jumped to season 3 and so far it's jam packed with Iraq alegories, suicide bombings, a kind of Vichi police state and a policeforce hiding behind masks. Interesting.
  21. We put a 25% sales tax on everything.
  22. The war with Spain was the beginning of American colonialsim, no more 'purchases', it's right on topic. Anyway, Mark Twain puts it much better than I ever could.
  23. Heres one more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine-American_War Despite the fondness for berating european nations for colonial brutality, the US had its own phase no less violent .
