I have both a Mac and PC at work. I've said that before. I've never had a problem with file reassociation in Mac. I always get the prompt asking me if I want to remember to open a certain type of file with a specific program, but the file icons never change. The only time an image file icon changes is if I've worked on it in Photoshop. Then the icon changes to reflect what the actual image is. Kinda nice. Small, but nice.

It's a concert stadium and home of the Chicago Wolves (AHL). It's been Rosemont Horizon for as long as I could remember until a few years ago when it was renamed All State Arena. Blasphemy. I can understand naming a new stadium for a company. But to take an existing stadium and get rid of a long-standing name in favor of corporate sponsorship is just wrong.

Warbler, the reason why the answer couldn't be 6,3,2 is inherent in the fact that the neighbor asked for "more information". This means that the neighbor needed to weigh out between two answers that were effectively the same. Technically, any of the following could have been an answer...

36,1,1
18,2,1
9,4,1
9,2,2
6,6,1
6,3,2
4,3,3

All of these are possible because they can be multiplied together to get 36, right?

Rule out 36,1,1 because, ideally, a 36 year old daughter would not be living at home... ideally.

All of the rest of the answers, when added together, come up with distinct solutions except for two of them (38, 21, 14, 13, 13, 11, and 10, respectively). 9,2,2 and 6,6,1 both add together to come up with 13. 13 is the first two numbers on the license plate apparently and, therefore, the neighbor needed "more information" to come up with which one was correct since there were two combos that equaled 13. When the neighbor with the daughters said "the oldest daughter..." it implies that there is a single person of greater age than the other two. Therefore, it must be 9,2,2.

For everyone else, I did figure it out but it didn't seem right so I did Google it to check myself. And that is where I got the other riddle.

Emily Watson (Angela's Ashes) Robert Carlyle (Formula 51) Samuel L. Jackson ... or Carlyle (Trainspotting) Ewan MacGregor.

Out of curiosity, do you guys think that a film should be considered for this game if it was released only at a film festival? I ask because The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (costarring Emily Watson) had showings at the Aspen Film Festival and the Austin Film Festival here in the U.S. but it only came out to the general public on HBO. IMDb shows it in Watson's filmography as a standard movie. Not DTV or TV designations by the name. Let me know.

Jacques-Yves Cousteau. You will need to use credits with him playing himself. And, remember, I said voice work counts.

A professor tells her assistant that she dined with three people last night. She also tells him that the sum of the three people's ages is twice the secretary's own age and that the product of the three people's ages is 2,450. Then, she asks him to tell her the ages of the three people. After a while, the assistant tells the professor that he doesn't have enough information to solve the problem. She agrees and adds that she is older than all three people with whom she dined. The assistant, who knows her age, promptly gives the professor the correct ages. The question is: What are the ages of all five people in this story?

Hitchhiker's Guide... premiere trailer

Hey all,

You may want to hurry over to Amazon.com with your Flash players loaded and ready to go. They're playing the Hitchhiker's Guide trailer and I think it's only supposed to be for today (Wednesday, Feb. 16 - my wife will be so happy to know that it's on her birthday; do note the sarcasm). So hurry over. It looks pretty good. I'm giving this movie the benefit of the doubt for sure.

It's right on the Amazon.com homepage in the top of the middle column below the header banner. If you've got Flash loaded, you should see the video screen immediately. Otherwise, you will have to visit macromedia.com and download it.

Anyone here ever seen "My Own Private Idaho"? It's coming out soon on Criterion Collection DVD and I was debating it. Never seen it before. But I have never experienced a bad movie that has received the Criterion treatment. And this is the first time it's been released on DVD so renting it ahead of time is kinda out of the question.

Or should I just wait and rent it once after it comes out?

Hell, I never even realized that Dalton was an actor 15 years before he landed the Bond role. The first thing I ever saw him in was Flash Gordon as Prince Baron.

Of the current candidates, I'm thinking Owen might be best. People may have heard of him but he's not a household name yet like some of the others who have been mentioned in the same breath as the name Bond. Ioan Gruffud is even less of a name but I think the superhero turn in FF might hurt his credibility. But that mental decision remains to be made until after the film comes out. I'll reserve judgment until then.

Bale would be a good Bond, but I think too young. I still think that Bond should be right around late 30s at the youngest. 40s is better. That's just the image I have of Bond in my head.

Orlando Bloom? I'd never come within 100 feet of the theater if he's cast.

Why didn't Garcia's lawyer object to the line of questioning and, if he did, why did the judge allow it to continue if it was completely unrelated? That makes no sense.

As for dating outside your age group... I have no idea why it happens. In the celebrity world, I understand it when a nobody of a completely different age range dates a celebrity much older or younger; it's prestige and money. But for a celebrity like a Playboy Playmate to date somebody that much older (and, I might add, not particularly good looking) when she can have anybody, including any not-past-his-prime NFLer, is beyond me.

I gotta admit that as fun as the humorous Bond was, I really dug the revenge driven Bond from License to Kill. Dalton was excellent in that movie.

Brosnan, on the surface, is the ideal Bond. He looks the part, can be a tough guy or a suave and smooth guy. He's not too young, not too old. And he's the epitome of cool. But the movies he was in sucked. Plain and simple. I'd be more than willing to give him another chance if they bring in new writers, a director with his own vision, and a whole new route for Bond. I think Brosnan would have been great with a script like L2K. But alas.

Female M doesn't bother me at all.

You all think Cleese will be back in the next one?
