My important CD's are packed away into a safety deposit box that I have (for other important stuff). I alone have the only access to this. It's a big box so I had room for the few really important ones I put in there. Besides if I ever made a woman that mad at me, it won't be my computer that gets it it will be me!!!

David Lanzaro should be made to watch the video of this child and nothing else all during his meager 5 year sentence.

This one broke my heart NBC News: Stadium vendor must pay most; verdict seen as wake-up call for teams. please watch the video clip. This is one case where the award (IMO) was justified. Seeing her as she was and then as she is now. Just heartbreaking. People have got to stop Drinking and driving dammit. How long will this kind of garbage continue. How many warnings does it take to make it stop. This applies to those one handed drivers with cell phones in the other hand. Just saw two the other day. One was trying get into the main lane from being double parked yaking on his cell phone wasn't paying 100% attention almost hit two cars then as he finally made it another car pulls up behind him the driver of that vehicle was also on a cell phone with one hand on the wheel and this was a woman. These were both SUV's. Stupid people the whole lot of 'em.

LOL It's actually NOT funny, because a guy I know, yeah, hate to admit that, actually unscrewed the wire from the back of the dryer WHILE IT WAS PLUGGED IN, he had 3rd degree burns, and he was tossed into the wall REAL HARD..... He was hospitalized for 3 weeks... 220 HURTs, and HURTS BAD!!! Uh oh, hmmm, I haven't heard from them since I last talked with 'em about this. Yeah, I can imagine. I've been jolted by 120 a few times I can only imagine what 220 is like. 3 weeks in the hospital ouch.

I have countless CD-RW and CD-R disks with Jedi Knight(JK1-JK3) mods, skins, maps, saves along with other games including my Universal Combat saves. So erase away on my computer I'll just put them right back again.

Actually, I should have titled this the Night Before at the movies. Caught this movie yesterday eve.

Glad to say I missed most of it. Just clips here and there on the news but when I saw the clip of John Kerry I almost heaved seeing him back at his old post as senator.

Has no one seen this yet? Great Movie. Done in the old style of the 30' or 40's. If it was done in Black and White, I would think it was done then. Leonardo Dicaprio (almost forgot his real I use to call him Decrapio) has earned new respect from me with this film. Cate Blanchett was great as Katherine Hepburn. There's so much to like about this movie. I would say that my favorite part was when Hughes went head to head against Sen. Brewster. Overall, the acting by everyone was top notch. Martin Scorsese has made a cinematic gem here. 10/10 IMHO of course.

Yup the trailer looks good. However it looks like they make use of quite a bit of CG though.

Senate Democrats Seek to Delay Confirmation Vote on Secretary of State Nominee quote:On Wednesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved Ms. Rice's nomination by a 16 to two vote and sent it to the full Senate for consideration. Two Democrats opposed the nomination, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, who unsuccessfully challenged President Bush for the White House last year, and Senator Barbara Boxer of California, who criticized the administration for refusing to make changes in what she sees as misguided Iraq policy.Well looky here John ("I have a plan") Kerry and Barbara (void the ohio votes)Boxer there's a suprise. Boxer is at it again.

I say good riddance to that creep (Donald Beardslee).

Voice of America: The first criminal charges linked to alleged corruption involving the United Nations' oil-for-food-program in Iraq have been filed against an American who has pleaded guilty to accepting payments from Saddam Hussein's government. The case is just the start of what could be multiple criminal investigations into how a program meant to help the Iraqi people was corrupted. An Iraqi-American that is. quote:An independent panel appointed by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to look into what he has described as "serious allegations" is expected to release its findings as early as this month. In addition, multiple congressional investigations into the scandal are under way. Some in Washington have even called for the secretary general resign over the matter.Doesn't sound too independent to me. Let the head rolling begin. To those who said give the sanctions more time . For what? These people to profiteer more. [ 01-19-2005, 01:50 AM: Message edited by: LostInSpace ]

Yup, all wars (even non wars could be new contruction over old, local unrest, natural disasters or causes) have their antiquity casualties. It is un-avoidable. I wouldn't worry about it.

quote:Originally posted by Commander Walker: and spend our money on somthing sensible instead. Yeah, any local disasters like the U.S. is having out west in california and other states or just hold on to it for a rainy day or use that money to pay off the deficit that a few here are crying about(funny that some only cry about the deficit when we go to war).

View the damage! /RP Hah, them insurgent's are getting brazen aren't they. Apparently, you aren't being tough enough on them to allow them to do such things. Next time at a station buy a couple of cases of pink perma paint and the next insurgent ship you come across drop the lot on them. That'll teach 'em.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: quote:Originally posted by LostInSpace: When you were pointing the different weapons at everyone, I was waiting with anticipation for the head shot on at least one of 'em . ...I guess you haven't seen the Resnig head shot one yet? Heh, I have just watched the clip 010705b. "Poor resnig alas we knew you all too well". Actually, looks like you were going quite postal in that clip. The last guy you shot (Tommy Brooks) is good doing a complete 360 spin with the head shot.

quote:Originally posted by Arthur_Dent: The first clip plays the sound of Titan's winds brushing against the mic. Very cool to be able to hear that, coming from another world... Agreed I never thought I'd ever hear real sounds from another planet. Very cool. Now if only they had put speaker systems on the probe to be able to yell out "ANYONE HOME!!". The first human voice to speak on another planet. That first color pic of Titan looks a heck of a lot like Mars. Are they sure they landed on the right planet

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: (featuring the new chracter models - including the demise of Resnig) Oh no, I just re-read that. Say it ain't soooooo. No more Resnig! It's going to be a lonely galaxy with no one to blame anymore for one's troubles. Anyway, movie 010705a looks good. The character models are great as are the the other models including the weapons. When you were pointing the different weapons at everyone, I was waiting with anticipation for the head shot on at least one of 'em . Pretty good preview so far can't wait to get the last two files. quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Everyone had better learn how to use Bittorrent because thats how the demos are going to be released. Not a problem at my end (even though I only started tinkering with it again about a month and a half ago). Bittorent is the way to go. Much better now than in the very begining of it and much better than downloading off of download sites.

Heh, I was going to post about that. Very Cool indeed.
