And not all countries have the good samaritan law.

Maybe they don't want to help because of litigation? You help someone and they die, you're up for manslaughter. edit: I just found a link to a story where a woman tried to sue volunteers giving medical assistance.

It's more than that. There is a story to them and about why the characters are trapped and you learn the back story of the characters through the film. Jigsaw is more of a vigilante than a killer and it's usually the people that are trapped who kill each other or themselves. There is also one continuous story running through all Saw films.

Saw VI. Continuation of the movies and you 'must' watch all five to get all the references and flashbacks to the previous movies. I read they'll be relaesing more Saw movies over the next few years. How many can they make?

For a second there, I thought they were walking under a group of cow udders. my eyes a blurry. must sleep.

I'm the same. There was always an alien threat with SG1 and SGA right from the start. They haven't encountered any aliens except for that whirlwind thing, if you could call it an alien. Now that they have full power, I expect them to do more than sit around waiting for planets to come by. Looking at the names of the episodes, they seem to have a lot of filler episodes.

Latest episode was great. More twists than a bag full of pretzels.

^ My girlfriend does that as well. She'll looks at shares around the 50 to 80 cent mark and do exactly what you've said, put a buy and sell price in at the same time. With some online share companies, they don't take your money for up to three days, so you can buy shares for 60 cents one day and sell them 2 days later for 80 cents and you've made money from nothing, up to thousands, even tens of tousands of dollars. Very risky through and I wouldn't recommend trying to make money through the buy/sell three day no money option. You would only do it if you had a reaonably good idea the price would go up and there are some easy indicators to see if shares are going to go up. eg. Interest rates go up = Shares will usually go up (it can depend on the circumstanes). When the Reserve bank put interest rates up not long ago, the share market took off for a couple of days. It's all risk (I call it gambling) and how much you want to stick your neck out. Some people make money, others can crash and burn. You also have to know when to pull out if your shares are crashing and you have to be brave. When Rio Tinto was over $100 and went down to $75, the girlfriend bought in and the shares kept going down. Realising her mistake, she sold at $60 and waited for the bottom and bought back in at $30 and made up the loss when the shares went back up to about $70 and sold again. Rio is at the moment $67. If she didn't sell at $60, then would still be waiting for those shares to hit $75 to get her money back.

My girlfriend works from home and trades shares on the sharemarket. She mainly concentrates on Blue Chip shares that are volatile but still good. Shares like Rio Tinto, BHP, Woodside Petroleum, Newcrest Mining, Lihir Gold, Kingsgate Consolidated, etc Notice a trend here? There all mining and resource stock. Also, at the moment, the Banking shares are going gangbusters. In March/April this year $15.00 Westpac $25.00 Commonwealth Bank $16.00 NAB $12.00 ANZ $15.00 Macquarie Group Now $27.00 Westpac $55.00 Commonwealth Bank $32.00 NAB $24.00 ANZ $55.00 Macquarie Group But you really need to know what you're doing with Shares. It's not as simple as buy some shares and hope for the best. It can also be very stressful and you will have many sleepless nights when the shares go down as my girlfriend does. She also gets up at 3 or 4 in the moring to check up on the overseas markets because they influence our market so much. Personally, I would put half in shares and forget about it and put the other half into a deposit for a property. After 5-10 years, sell the property and buy another property and keep buying and selling property. eg. Buy a small 1 bedroom flat for around $300K with a $30K deposit and live in it. After 10 years, you might have that property paid off. If you don't and have say 1/2 paid off and still have $150K left, sell it. If the property is worth $400-450K after 10 years, you can pay out the $150K on your loan and still have $250-300K left. Or $400-450K if you've paid it off. With that $400-450K, split the money up and you buy two properties. One to live in and one to rent out. The rent pays for say 90% of the investment property mortgage and you pay the difference + pay off your own mortgage. You'll get a great tax deduction from your investment property every year (I'm talking thousands every year if you know what you're doing). By that stage, your shares should be worth a motza. And then sell your properties and buy three properties and have two as investment and one to live in. That's what I'm doing at the moment. You won't get rich just by buying one property and living in it for 20 years. You really can't go wrong with property in Sydney. Some areas are defintine no-no's. There may be exceptions, but usually, with Sydney the closer you go to the CBD, the more expensive you get. So a unit at Erskineville will be more expensive than a similar sized unit at Caringbah. A 4 bedroom waterfont house at Sylvania will usually be worth less than a 2 bedroom unit in Point Piper. etc

If you wanted to play with currency, you just do a straight currency exchange. Buy American dollars (at parity) and wait for the AUD to go down and then change the money back to australian cash when the exchange rate is low. No need to put money into the American share market.

I agree that it can help build up your credit rating. It can also go against you as well. A lender might see that you have a $5000.00 limit on a credit card and ask you to have the limit lowered to say $2000.00 before they give you a loan for a car. I've seen this happen. Once you do have that credit card. It's really important to pay on time. What the banks don't tell you is that for every late payment, a point is marked against you. Too many points against you and you have a bad credit rating. And if you want your bad credit rating to be wiped, you pretty much have to hand in your credit cards, wait about 5 or 7 years depending where you live and start over again.

I only use debit cards which I have three as I have three bank accounts. One account where my pay goes in from my normal job, another account for my investment property and the third account is linked to my home loan and ebay account. The last time I used a credit card was around 1995/96. I would never use them again. I find it easier to keep everything separate to manage my finances, instead of throwing everything into one account. I think it's easier to get into debt with a credit card than using a debit card. I found I was able to save more using a debit card. I found there was a never ending vicious cycle with credit cards in having to pay them off and them using them again, month after month and getting nowhere financially.

This show is a train wreck. Hiro goes back to save Charlie who only appeared in 3 episodes from Season 1 (eps. 8, 9, 10)? I guess he's going to go back to the present and get Peter to save her? Who knows. I don't know where this is going.

I'm just saying, even thirty years ago, it was inconceivable for most people to believe that they would be using a device smaller than a packet of cards that can take thousands of photos, play hundreds of music tracks and videos, record home movies and talk to anyone around the world with. It was the stuff of Sci-Fi at the time. I agree with what Gorth said, "Which is why completely new thinking is required... As long as there are people who think we are limited by the speed of light, we will be limited by it."

I bet people a hundred years from now will laugh at the theories people are discussing today. No pick at anyone in particular, just saying what we know now compared to a hundred years ago.. it would look like magic if people even 30 years ago could see what was possible today.

Even though we see this from the viewpoint of the Cylons (and yeah, I thought it was funny that all of the cylons hidden in the fleet failed miserably), I would have liked to have seen more of the Origin of the Cylons. I wanted to see the Cylon homeworld or homeworlds. How they evolved. Where the original five came from (it was touched on in the series) and their story. The original five's motivations. Why the Cylons chose to attack, and why now. I want to learn the Cylon choices and motivations and psychology. etc. Maybe the new series Caprica will address some of this?

We just need someone to build a Tachyon Computer.

I remember when the BIS boards were closed and we went over to the IPLY boards and some IPLY staff member started banning people on the first few days. There was a bit of an uproar over that guy.

I wouldn't mind a computer that runs at the speed of light.

I quite enjoyed it. My only gripe is that it wasn't long enough. Hopefully, they'll do another BSG movie to further tie up more loose ends. Dean Stockwell's character Cavill is one cold hearted killer. Really showed the true side of him in this movie.

Knowing. Interesting movie. It felt like it was two movies in one or it was a movie it didn't know what it wanted to be. 2/3 of the movie was like Horror/Supernatural and the last 1/3 was Sci-Fi. Despite this, I did like the ending.

Just watched Battlestar Galactica - The Plan. It's good to see how everything started and where all the major characters were before and after the Cylons attacked and how those characters positioned themselves in the series. It was also good how they brushed over different episodes of the series and tied up a lot of loose ends. It also puts a different view on things, especially certain characters like Sharon valerii (Boomer). It's like they had two camera units filming the series and kept the film of the second camera unit of the Cylons viewpoint away until now. Watching the series again in the veiwpoint of the cylons was really interesting. Great Stuff.
