I don't see where we're being so negative. You're the one who's spewing all the negative stuff...

So Bush may have started a war for somewhat trivial reasons. I've got news for ya.....welcome to stuff that's been happening since the dawn of time. Wars have started over the most trivial matters.....what makes you qualified to say it should be any different now?

Get off your high horse and just get over it. If you don't like the way America is....there's the door...don't let it hit you in the ass on the way out.

I personally have no problem with being in Iraq. It's keeping the Arabs busy over there so they don't pull any shit here. They did once already, ya know.....it was called 9/11. Could happen again if we're not careful, but oh I'm sorry....you don't care about that cuz you're too busy putting your head up other people's asses.

Maybe I should just tell you what you want to here: you're right and everyone else is wrong. That's the sign of a true liberal.

That's funny.....cuz most people here think the same thing about you. So why don't you just ignore us 'till you go away.

It's interesting that you have noticed that educated people tend to become "liberals", yet you just assume that's because the cirriculum was lacking.


The CURRICULUM must have been lacking to have turned out people who claim they are educated, but are essentially clueless since their solutions to real world problems lack any solid foundation of common sense. Take your silly comments in the Global Warming thread as an example, Gomer. I rest my case.

If these people are in positions where they make decisions that affect me, then that qualifies me to make all the judgements I want.

Is it just that you don't attend naked keggers?


Not interested really. Whole thing sounds retarded. Bunch of kids with too much time on their hands. College is for getting an education, not fucking around. Nothing wrong with the occasional kegger though, but this is just nonsense. I think anyone who goes has poor judgement and is an idiot. You're welcome to go if you wish, Gomer. I'm sure there will be a few laughs in your direction.

College kids drinking and taking their clothes off at parties?

I've never been privy to any parties where any clothes came off....at least not in front of everyone at the party.

Welcome to how it's been since the dawn of time.


You must invite me to the plain of reality you exist on......must be the "head in YOUR ass" reality.

Sitting in this forum, complaining about the suitability of others to save you from the problems of the world is a tad "head in your ass" isn't it?


How many presidents, business and political leaders have been Ivy Leaguers? I think we should question the suitability of anyone who takes on such responsibility.

Seriously speaking, can you imagine how odd would be on the following day, when you see all the same people again, and you can picture how they are without clothes on?


Yeah....too fricking weird. Especially if you have a thing for this girl in a class of yours. She shows up at the party and you see her in all her glory, then you have to see her still in class. You like her, but you've seen her naked already. That's so out of wack, man.

Harrison Ford turns down chance to reprise Han Solo Role!

I don't know about this latest report (particularly the Star Wars spin-off), but Harrison Ford has stated many times that he would not consider playing Han Solo ever again. I actually saw him say it in a TV interview (Barbra Walters I think). In that same interview he then expressed interest in doing another Indiana movie.

This was on Oprah, I believe. He said he would never want to play the role again cuz there's nothing really there for him as an actor, but he did say that if George needed him, he would do it.

But he was pretty adamant about wanting to do another Indiana Jones movie in that same interview.

This was way back in the late 90s when he came out as a draft dodger and was sporting an earring. Some kind of image makeover to revive his shrinking career at that point.

Though I don't think sexuality has anything to do with it Cable-X1.


Wrong....it has to do with EVERYTHING!!!

I also have the E.T. and Friends TV show from 1982 with Robin Williams. sourced from a Beta SP NTSC. Haven't seen it already. I will let you know about the quality.


I know I'm late to the game....but DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS?!?!?!? I used to watch it when I was a wee littel tyke and I would DIE to see it again. It was hosted by Robin Williams who was in rare comedic form and it was a collage of a ton of different sci-fi movies with Williams cracking jokes in between. I MUST HAVE THIS....PLEASE SOMEONE??? I PMed the guy who originally posted, but he may not be active anymore.

Well, I want to be able to burn a CD copy of stuff like Pink Floyd's The Wall and have it gapless.

I would love to be able to do it with MP3s as well, but I ain't supporting the rotten Apple to do it. I'm no traitor!!!

Seriously though...if anyone has a tried and true program for it, I'd love to hear about it. I haven't tried the above programs yet. I will tonight.....I was way too under the weather last night to do anything.

How do the cue files work? I've never messed with those before.

For me, it would end. The PT pretty much told me that Lucas lost it completely. He doesn't have what it takes anymore to be a good storyteller....and I'm not interested in stories from the SW universe being told by others. Sure, they might be good, but I'm just not interested. When that happens, SW becomes like Star Trek......and I've had enough of that shit. I'd rather have something new to move on to instead of lingering on something being done to death.

I like it best when there is a great story (LOTR or SW) told by just one person (Tolkein and Lucas (to a certain degree at least)). I'm not interested in other people telling stories within that one great story. Some of them might be good and some might be bad, but I'd just rather leave the one great story alone and move on to the next great story.

Birthday-suit parties all the rage for Ivy League students
CRAIG HOWIE

STUDENTS at America's prestigious Ivy League universities are rebelling against their colleges' stuffy reputations, casting off society's norms along with their clothes to hold naked parties.

The Pundits, a secretive society at Yale University, initiated the events - which profess to be non-sexual in nature - in the mid-1990s, open to a select few. The society claims that president George Bush's daughter, Barbara, attended a naked party during her second year, in 2002. The White House has always declined to comment.

But the naked parties are now fixtures among liberal students being primed to become the nation's elite.

While one campus source at Yale - to which Euan Blair, the Prime Minister's son, has won a scholarship - says naked parties are "the No1" thing to do before graduation, students who attend the six to eight parties held each year say it can be a life-changing experience, far from the "frat-house" bawdiness portrayed in films such as Animal House. Megan Crandell, a final-year Yale student who has attended six naked parties, said: "The dynamic is completely different from a clothed party. People are so conscious of how they're coming across that conversations end up being more sophisticated. You can't talk about how hot that chick was the other night."

Another Yale student, who did not want his name to become known by campus authorities - which do not try to stop the parties but do not encourage them - said: "Part of it is just the mystique of not knowing where you're going. It's become a hip thing to do."

The events are magnets for social-climbers at other top academic institutions, including Columbia, MIT and Brown. Students invited to a party at Columbia last year received this e-mail: "Compadres, join us in refusing to comply with a culture that tells us to hide our body, to be ashamed of its scents, secretions, curves and hair, to conceal those parts that have been dealt sexual connotations." Some students wear token items, such as hats; others bare all. Occasionally, parties charge $1 for each item of clothing worn. Some are even held in college libraries, though the early, underground events were often referred to in code as "bar mitzvahs".

Touching, beyond a salutary greeting, is not encouraged.

Of party etiquette, Mollie Farber, a senior student at Yale, said: "You're allowed to give everyone a quick once-over as you say, 'Hey, what's up?', but after that, you've got to maintain pretty good eye contact."

However, Alexandra Robbins, a Yale graduate who detailed secret sorority life in her book Pledged, warned: "It can be a rude awakening. It really comes down to the idea that if I shed my clothes, I will lose my inhibitions. But it doesn't always work that way."

Birk Oxholm, who graduated from Columbia in 2006, was not convinced of the liberating effect of the parties: "To pretend you're feeling great and happy to be overcoming the oppressiveness of clothing overlooks the more authentic feeling, which is, 'I feel kind of weird'."

In 2002, a Yale first-year accused an older student of making unwanted advances after following her home from a naked party.

He pleaded no contest to fourth-degree sexual assault and was then placed on probation

Why couldn't this happen when I was in college?!?!?!?

Seriously though....these Ivy Leaguers are gonna be the leaders of the world in the future and they're doing fucked up shit like this....man, this world is FUCKED!!!

I swear I've tried this before on a different program, but adjusting the settings exactly as you mention and I still got the breaks in between the tracks....

I'm talking about ripping from CDs.

Okay....I get that I can't rip MP3s or WAVs of a live album (ie Frampton Comes Alive) and then have them play seamlessly. Is there a program that will let me burn an EXACT copy on CD of a live album, preserving the seamless play.

You know when you play a live album and the song ends and all you hear is the crowd cheering and then the next song starts....there is no silence of break in between the songs. It's all seamless. I would like to preserve that effect.

Will this Exact Audio Copy do the trick? I'm looking at the website and I'm not seeing that it can do that....

This isn't DVD related, but with all the audio tinkering that you guys do, I'm sure someone can help me....

I want to be able to preserve audio tracks taken from live albums so that they play seamlessly. Usually, when I rip a live album to MP3s and play them, there's always a break between the tracks. Is there a way to rip the audio (to MP3 or WAV) without getting those breaks so that it plays like a true, uninterruped live album? Is there a certain program or method?

I appreciate any help.
