I don't think it's that they disappeared so much as it is that they sold out in time for Christmas. You'll see more.

60 FRIGGIN' LEVELS!?!?!

Dayamn! Makes me glad I'm not a gamer. Something like that and I'd likely wind up divorced. My wife thinks I spend too much time as it is on the new Mac and I feel I'm hardly on it (when I'm on it, it may be for an hour or a little longer; but I do this only a couple times a week and try to time it for when she's not home or asleep).

I wasn't implying that you said something bad. I was agreeing that someone needed to tell the Metro workers to get back to work and stop their strike and figure out a better way to fix their problems.

Well, the book stood on its own merits well before Blade Runner killed it. If they were to make a movie true to the core of "DADOES," there would not even be a need to relate it to Blade Runner at all as they would be wholly different films save for a few shared ideas and names. Let the fans figure it out on their own.

I've been telling you this for how long now?

Here's a tip to save money... go to the Apple Store and pick up a refurbished or refreshed system. Same warranty, better price. Our $1,600 iMac was only $900 ($1,150 once we added the AppleCare package on it).

Tell that to the metro workers when they were on strike in NYC this month.

I still feel that for all of its visual inventiveness, Blade Runner suffers one fatal flaw: Ridley Scott and his screenwriters didn't "get" the book.

I'll agree with you on that one. I, too, would like to see this remade. How about Christopher Nolan helming it?

Unless they are part of a really rich and generous school district, yes.

Nope, but my wife was a special ed teacher's aide for a year and my mother in law is a long-time first grade teacher so I hear all the stories.

And, let me guess, like most school districts, they won't foot the bill for all her copying, will they? Not surprised at all.

I find Melanie Lynskey cute as well but in a very sociopathic way. Guess you have to watch Two and a Half Men to understand that one. I can actually see her being that way in real life. But still cute.

I'm not trying to get flamed, it's just this is merely one example of most people not knowing how good it can be to stay away from the dark side

BTW, there are DVDShrink alternatives on the mac. No reason to break your PC in to pieces, just add a mac mini and a KVM switch to your rig and you have the best of both worlds.

Merry Christmas, guys!

Ahhhh! Another Mac Man! Welcome!

Hey, what are the best alternatives to DVDShrink? I just bought a G5 iMac and now have a SuperDrive at home and would like to start burning but am unsure what to use. Help.

Will have to check out this DVD cataloguing program as well.

VERY COOL!

I am incredibly proud of everybody here for their generosity. No matter how much or how little you donated, it makes a difference. Just look at the note from Rikter for proof of that.

Do us all a favor, YIYF, and make sure you put something about OT.COM in the subject of the message to Rikter when you send it. I'd hate for him to delete the message as spam or junk. Not that the money would go bye bye, but the explanation of what the hell it is might go the way of the dodo.

I know I didn't donate much, but I am extremely happy to be part of this whole thing. I just can't believe how big the pot has gotten. That's just incredible.

Miasta, I was checking out the category thing too. So long as you picked "good (non eBay)" or "service" you are fine. They say that there is no additional charge for either of those two categories. On the final category there was some kind of warning that credit card companies may charge something extra for it. Dunno why, they just do.

I chose "service" as well. Seemed the most appropriate.

Here you go...

NFL Standings

All that you really need to know is that the Bears are leading the NFC North and are in a three-way tie for best record in the NFC. That's all that matters, in all honesty.

You've now got mine as well. Or so I hope. I'm new to this whole PayPal thing.

Sorry it took so long.

In case he reads this... happy holidays, Rikter and family!
