  1. I'm a hero. Worship me you sycophants!
  2. No I checked to be sure because I thought it did too. When they didn't continue with the storyline in the next episode, I assumed the next group would find the kino on the planet and worked it out. Didn't know about the webisode with the solution. Are people so dumb they need a solution to be told to them. I thought it was pretty obvious.
  3. There's so much retconning going on at the moment it's a wonder the whole Heroes universe doesn't blow up.
  4. The Blue hand stuff reminded me of Firefly.
  5. Latest episode seemed like a waste of time.
  6. Yes, I've seen sweatshops first hand in China. I doubt you have.
  7. I know you(ve) work in a call centre Volo. Being a bit defensive?
  8. Personally, I think call centres are modern day sweatshops.
  9. It seems to be something shows are doing now and I don't know why. I noticed it with the later seasons of CSI and now Sanctuary.
  10. Huh? What has this got to do with V for Vendetta?
  11. I'm still going to watch this though. Due to there being not much else on TV that's better. I need to watch more than one or two goods shows a week and this is about the best out of a bad lot.
  12. I've got the entire season of Harpers Island but haven't watched it yet. I've been meaning to though, but now I'm having second thoughts after your post.
  13. Amazing watching it in High Definition.
  14. And not all countries have the good samaritan law.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. For a second there, I thought they were walking under a group of cow udders. my eyes a blurry. must sleep.
  19. 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.
  20. you could always go with a Bearskin coat.
  21. Some shows that haven't been mentioned but you might want to try: Boston Legal Castle Crash Harpers Island Kings Kyle XY Legend of the Seeker Leverage Lie to Me Life on Mars New Amsterdam The Mentalist Threshold
  22. Latest episode was great. More twists than a bag full of pretzels.
  23. ^ 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.

  25. 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
