Read part of the book... and LOVED the movie. Have gone to seen it twice and will definitely get it on DVD when it comes out. Unsure why you did not enjoy it - care to comment as to why ? Just curious... -DoomsDay

Yes, I am from Australia - Frementle huh ? That's a nice coincident (SP?), cause Australia is pretty BIG and you just happen to port in the territory that I am in, which is WA - Perth. Frementle is about 20min from where I am, I take mom to fishing and all that there, very nice and peaceful. Unsure about the Ale, or any alcoholic stuff for that matter as I don't drink. TheEars, sorry, and you are right, I just re-read your posting and you were refering to the Talibans only, which I do believe deserve the fate they are in at the moment and if possible, MORE.

No idea.. but I know in Yahoo.com auction.. you are able to purchase this CD that will teach you how to properly... rip a DVD into VCD. -DoomsDay

.. Bin Laden was trained by the American during the period when the Russia came into Afghan to force it's Communist regime onto the people. Afghan guerrilla (Mujahideen) movement was born a year before the actual invasion of the Russia forced in 1980. Now this is where it get confusing. The Mujahideen took over Afgah and liberated it but meanwhile, the then Elected Prime Minister Najibullah who was placed in Afgah BY the Russia still rules and, get this, he was protected BY the UN. This, I believe was in 1992. In 1994, the Taliban Milita was then borned and moved against the Rabbani government, who was elected as president. Note, the UN or the US did NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING. The Taliban gained full control in 1996, forcing the government into exile. Only after Bin Laden turned against US after the war against Russia did America started to do something about it, but by then, Talian was too strong and was protecting Bin Laden - want to know why Bin Laden was treated and looked up as a hero, cause of his leadership during the Afghan and Russia's war, BACKED by America. There were PROOF that mass murder, close to genocide was done to the Afghan people by the Taliban from 1996 onwards and the UN, America did NOTHING.. even though they were elected as the WORLD protector. I totally agree, they should be dealt with and taken out but my point is this: This is a war that started YEARS ago, Taliban against the basic humanity rights - everyone turned a blind eyes to it until it reached the doorsteps of America. It sure ain't right and it is NOT a laughing matter where you can joke about it. DoomsDay

.. who did you think trained Osama Bin Ladin ?.. I am all for free speech, but with that comes responsibility and humanity as well. Killing of civilian and innocent are NOT laughing matter. Yes, laugh to get thru the tuff time but not at the expenses of others. Have you ever seen a lonely child in ragged sitting and crying beside his/her ruined bombed house crying for his/her parents who's been killed INSIDE the collasped house ? That is war. I failed to see a need to joke about that or to make some light comments about it. TheEar : You have misread my post - what I have said is that what is happening needs to be done but there is no call or need to make it a laughing matters. DoomsDay

WTC got bombed and a few of the Pakistanian celebrate. If you bothered to check it further, you will find that MOST pakistanian and most Muslim were SHOCKED with what happened and condemmed it. The reporter that took the video of the Pakistanian celebration ADMITTED that he faked the pictures, meaning there were only 10 or so people dancing and he took the video from different angles to make it looks like there were MORE. The bombing on Afghan, I am not saying it's right or wrong - but what I will like to point out that civilians are being killed as well. Instead of taking this war as it is and 'going in' to do a job that needs to be done, it seems there 'MORE' people (from this forum) are celebrating this horrible war and missing the facts that a lot of innocent civilians are getting killed, man, women and children whose only crime are being at the wrong place at the wrong time. So please, you guys are better than that - don't celebrate as this is not a laughing matter. DoomsDay '.. it's a sad day when people are killed, not for the sins of their father but for the actions of their neighbours..'

Sucks... that's one of the reason I am worry about getting a Klipsch as well.. I am running on Altec ADA890 now.. I heard the bass is not as powerful.. but the sound quality and all is BRILLIANT and it comes with a remote control... I do NOT have a problem with Altec.. You might want to consider that.. I know when Klipsch works.. it's a dream.. but it's close to being like a russian roulette.. I know they say that the failure rate is not high at all.. be that as true.. even if it's 1 outta 1 million set.. if you are that poor '1' that get a BAD set.. it's a real hassel and all to repack, send it.. called up.. get a return number.. etc etc. -DoomsDay

Hear hear.. I owe him alright... a kick right up his FAT ARSE.! Hahah.. I am kidding of cause...

Bob : My klipsch don't work ? Justin wanna-be : Put the red in there and the white in there and the blue in there... *EXPLOSION* Bob : CRAP! My Speakers just blew up. Justin wanna-be : Wow, imagine that !!! and it made a pretty LOUD noise also !! =o) -DoomsDay

Netflix : Ok thanks, how would you like to pay for the membershp ? Me : Credit card please. Netflix : That will be fine - Visa ? Me : Ooo yeah! Netflix : I would need to verify your card though, which could take a few min. Me : Ok, could you hurry, this is a long distance call. Netflix : You could have called our State wide toll-free 1800. Me : Yes, that only apply to people in the States though. Netflix : .. *pause* .. sorry, say that again. Me : I said, your 1800 is not for International caller. Netflix : .. *pause* where are you calling from ? Me : Australia !! G'day mate !! .. the conversation kinda went down hill from there.. -DoomsDay

I didn't... I broke into Amy's house and stole her P5.1. Breaking in was ok, but DAMN she has a big dog! Took a piece outta my arse, now I can't sit but hey, I got a p5.1 thought. =o) Hehehe - but seriously, I don't have one but the going price in Perth at the moment is $699 - I believe... so. Order from MicroDirect, I think they still do that deal where they will send you your speakers, free shipping and also this WHOOOP arse free Force Feedback headphones. DoomsDay

I think Innovision are in Melb.. failing that.. you can try MicroDirect.. www.microdirect.com.au I wish I did... -DoomsDay

Top on my list of box set, Hayao Miyazaki's works!! Now - that's a box set worth drooooling over.!! DoomsDay

Sorry, this will probably not be agreed upon by other people and this is just my opnion. The movie SUCKS! It's a repeat of the first (almost) but with the same irritating concept of a 'amazing' discovery that was already explored in the first JP (and also the book) When the Raptor went calling and all and Sam went 'They are communicating' - like WOW ? Hello, he said the same deal in the first movie, how Raptors hunt in pack and they can communicate and 'SET traps'. To me, it the same movie, different actors. It's the same deal of 'Group of morons go in, attacked by bad animals with sharp teeths, group of morons get smaller, get attacked AGAIN, etc etc etc..' =o) DoomsDay

Hiya, I remember having the same problem and if I remember right, the culprit was actually hardware, rather than software. A bit of question though, how long have you had the 'case' for and if you have had it long, then did it used to do it under a different setting, assuming you had Win98 before you installed Win2000. I will check the power supply and all, if you have an ATX case, a little power surge and what's not, will 'click' and reset your PC. DoomsDay

Hi everyone, I am hoping someone could help me out here. I have a Santa Cruz soundcard and using PowerDVD (v3) to play my DVD. At the moment, I am having a LOT of difficulty in configuring them to play DVD with Dolby Digital output on all 4 speakers. (Altec Lansing ADA890) The speakers have hardware dolby decoder. I am just trying to isolate the components to see which one have been set incorrectly so I am taking the speakers out of the equation. Has anyone got a similar software and soundcard setup and if so, how do you set them so that you are able to enjoy Dolby sound out of all your 4speakers ? I currently have tried setting PowerDVD audio to 'Digital output / SP/DIF output' (one of those two) and my Santa Cruz to 4 speakers, Versajack Digital out but I am not getting ANY sound out. All advice will be sooooo greatly appriciated.. DoomsDay
