I also think there should be a login area on the front page, so we dont have to go to a separate page to login.. it makes it longer, and this forum seems very slow to load.... just a suggestion if possible that would make everyone happier..

i say screw the ****ing lame *** language filters. Was it getting TOO out of control before? Now we cant even say b***.. but if you fix that, then you will be able to say ***, unless you can only allow b*** as a word. anyway, i like the new forum, cept for the language filtering and not being able to see the last postee. -Thanks for the update klipsch, it was overdue

maybe some of you will think that im missing a little marbles... but the movie isnt TOO bad. Remember, it is a remake of a B movie, and isnt supposed to be any better than the original. Mixed with pretty cool lookin spiders, and some jumpy scenes, its not too bad. I could have gone without seeing it in the theaters, but I like seeing movies =)

I love this little program, POW, available at www.analogx.com Its under networking downloads I think. Check out all of his programs, he makes some great ones that really improve computing in general. Best of all, his programs are completely free!!!!!!!!!!! oh yea, they are also very small and well coded. Anyway check it out. Also, about the pop up killer he has, POW!, you train it, so whenever a popup shows up, you double click on the icon, and add it to a list.. I have found it works very well. Anyway, good luck. Did I say his stuff is free? If i didnt, well, it is.

im sorry, when you said that, i was instantly reminded of the simpsons episode where they go to australia, and marge asks for coffee, and the bartender goes beer? and she goes cooofffffeeee, and the guy goes beeeeeeeeeeer(just slower). And marge says, cough....E. reply: bee....eer. Marge: C-O-, Bartender:B-E. I just love that episode, and im sure others who have seen it will simpathize. ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

Yea, I understand where 101 is coming from, but i have to say he handled it in the worst way. Ive read some of theears posts, and I see that sometimes they might be taken as being rude (might = key word). He IS just being sarcastic, and well a lot of people out there have that same sense of humor. Once you get the humor, you enjoy life more =) Theears is also a wealth of information, and if there really is a problem, he WILL help solve it, or give as many suggestions as possible. ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

haha, honestly ear, did you have to do that? lol ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

wow, look how this thread changed, subjects but not attitude.. it seems to have switched from 101 to kain. lol, just thought it was funny.. Also, thanks for postin the jihad this picture.. its now my desktop =) Im not even going to post an opinion about the middle east here, im sure it would be flamed, and I would be told that I am a youngster who needs to read more and not subject myself to the hipocrises(spelling on whole post) of the news and tv. But I do enjoy reading this. UPDATE: lol, sorry, i was reading the thread with prod101, and somehow it got switched to here.. sorry bout that.. so this thread didnt go from 101 to kain.

Sound? Pfft!, i might like sound, but come on, it does NOT make up for a movie... no way no how. Why not just have a good movie with good sound? lol ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

What a waste of life that movie was... I like AMC theaters review of the film: "XXX definitely fills every action film requirement and is packed with high-energy extreme-sports stunts. Unfortunately, some of the action sequences are a little too drawn out, especially after you've seen them in slow motion from seven different angles." Hits the spot. It would make a great dvd to show off a system, but other than that, if you havent seen the movie, DONT. ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

Justin, I assume you had at least two phone lines for you to be on all the time, I of course, and it sounds like kev, only had 1 =) This makes things more difficult, esp when you have a brother who likes the phone... "Get off the damn computer!... Ugh You're always online!.... Oh crap, did I just pick up the phone.. sorry (meanwhile im disconnected)... And hearing from everyone in the world.. YOUR phone is always busy! jeez!" Anyway, Do you mp3 guys remember how hard they were to get in the early days? I mean, I know I wasnt around for the first wave of mp3s, but I had my share of FTP servers, Back when audiogalaxy was just an ftp listing, and you had to SHARE!!! Now you can set the file programs to just ignore other people =) Before you had an ratio of 1:1, that was a pain, sometimes 1:5, so for 1 meg uploaded, 5 megs could be d/l'ed. HAH, that got frustrating on a 56k with upload max of 33, or whatever it is... then getting disconnected, and ftp sites wouldnt remember previous connections, so all that 3 hours of uploaded went down the drain! guh. ahh the good ol days =) Now everyone and their mother d/l's mp3s... but i still love it. ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

CDs: 3 and i cannot find all 3 of them.. well, maybe one, my uncle has a wall of cds, probably 500+, my friends sister has and this isnt exaggerating, 12 200cd holders full of d/l'ed music burnt to cd. So do the math, its about 2400 cd's. Not that bad for all being mp3 full albums. Lots of trance. shes got 3 computers running networked round the clock downloading music and burning. Not a bad setup, great for gaming =) Used to work for interplay, has now started their(her and her boyfriend) own company. MP3s: 1925, about 700 of which i got when i had 56k, interesting note: my FIRST mp3 was Aqua Barbie Girl d/l'ed on a 28.8 What was YOUR first mp3? DVD: about 60 and growing LP: none, my dad has at least 2000 HDD: roughly 120, with an extra 20gig laying around VHS Tapes: 30 or so, lots of taped programs-seinfeld etc.. Seinfeld: one of my favorite shows, I now have 127 episodes dl'ed on my computer, plus his final standup "Im telling you for the last time" Other: Numerous amounts of programs, about 160 cd's of just backup - programs install files etc.. 18cds of mp3s. Tapes: I grew up at a weird time, CD's didnt really come in to play, and tapes were still strong, so yes, we have some tapes but not many- they have either been lost in moves, or burned. I would say 50 or so tapes are floating around somewhere. *edited note, I just increased the spacing for aesthetic purposes and for your viewing playsure... ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band) This message has been edited by Sholnay on 09-20-2002 at 02:11 AM

i think... sniff sniff, yup, i can smell the mj radiating off of all of you, esp justins brother.

thats a good idea justin, i would buy it and all i have are the pm5.1's. ok, I didnt realize you meant that you had store credit and then bought monsters inc using the store credit.... its all clear now.. btw, i rented monsters inc... all I have to say is omg, it was amazing. SO CRISP and clear, the bass was astounding, and the use of 5.1 really shows in the movie, canisters rolling behind you etc.. its great. ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

dont try to get justins aim, and if you do, and you see him come online, be prepared =) He only accepts 3 ims.... mr. popular over there. ---its all good justin, i would do the same... i like bob marley, but i dont have much of him, always able to chat though= sholnay = aim ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

I dont know how you got it for 7.99. Im at the wherehouse site right now and its the usual new release price of 19.99. A little too expensive for my blood, but then you guys make it sound so impressive. Maybe if I go to the store, they will have it cheaper? I doubt it. About the movie: I loved it in the theaters! As for final fantasy, i didnt like the story too much, it wasnt as good as I was expecting, but it looks good. soon, games will be rendered with that quality in real time, lol funny to think about. I cant wait till I can setup my own HT. I hope everyone is still around here when that time comes so I can get pointers! (it will still be a couple years- gotta wait till im out of college) ------------------ "we only came to kick some a$$... rock the f***ing house and kick some a$$" - Tenacious D(kyle quit the band)

First off, I need to know what your recommendation is for a heatsink/fan to cool an AMD XP 2100+, and that isnt too loud. If you could give a make and a website that would be great!

all this is extremely interesting. I have been an AMD supporter for a while now but I am very aware that P4's are very good proc's. Im still contemplating whether or not to build a p4 machine next. Intel is doing a good job on getting their prices lower which is always a plus, and, you said the rambus is better than ddr? I should read more about the two cause i really dont know much about RAM. All i know is that rambus used to cost a bundle, when ddr is and always was dirt cheap. Well, thanks for all of your posts about the subject, even though I didnt start the thread, its always good to read peoples opinions and knowledge. and IMO on overclocking, i think its pretty pointless. Only something to brag about. Why OC when you have such high speed procs already? Why run the risk of burning your proc or adding instability? I just dont see the point. ------------------ AMD Athlon XP 1800+ ABIT KR7A 512mb Mushkin pc2100 DDR Koolance pc2-601w Watercooled case Samsung 16x48 DVD Plextor 12x10x32A CDRW Hercules Game Theater XP 6.1 Various other gidgets/gadgets Klipsch 5.1'sc>s>

wow, cant believe i didnt put that on there.. PNY Geforce 4 ti 4600.
