...and I really miss that pro-Saddam song that was running in Iraqi TV... "Oh, Saddam, Saddam, Saddam..."

mwuahahahahahahahaha

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guys where is he gonna end up now? I was wondering about it, and what came to my mind is a story about two Houses, warring for a sandy planet, so important to Emperor Shaddam...

No more oil - welcome, spice!

Valley girl, eh? like in this old joke about two blondes?

"Hey, I'm really confused by all these news... and what is that country's name after all? How do you pronounce it? Iraq or Iran?"

I can never understand people buying ready computer sets, even those brand ones like NEC, Dell etc. ...

IMO it's best to make your own set in order to tweak the optimal performance/for a given price. This way you don't get scr*wed by the retailer who wants to squeeze in some lowsy/obsolete components.

I was lucky to upgrade (finally!) my system by buying parts in my friend's newly opened store - I got a discount for designing a logo for him.

Reinstalling the system was a pain - my old PC used to be just like a Mac - tweaked and optimized for my likes, running without major reinstall for few years! No kidding - I forgot how to install this Micro$oft sh*t

Apart from forgetting my old skills there was another problem - the new stuff is quite "up-to-date", but I didn't want to move from Win98SE to WinXP for all the tresures in the world!

Yes, I'm just insane, all my buddies were telling me I'm crazy to do this, yes I know - I loose some performance, like HyperThreading technology... but I'm not ready yet - I'm pretty conservative, I like evolution, but not revolution... So tweaking the new stuff to old OS took me 2 days... :/

I will move to the new sys someday (promise

), but I need free time and lots of patience/peace - and I don't have much of the latter recently... :/

And as for now everything is running smoothly

Note the white-red stripe on the fuselage... and think again

Happy New Year, folks!

You can actually see the scene where C-3PO rips off the sign in the old ESB trailer. Just don't blink, it last but a second.

MagnumMan, from what you said, it seems that your box is "Star Wars Trilogy - The Original Soundtrack Anthology", the 4 CD set. It was released in 1993, and IIRC it contains some original music and some re-recorded stuff, too.

The "double-disc sets" released with Special Edition in 1997 make total of 6 CDs for the old Trilogy. Most of the music was re-recorded for Special Edition - the difference is most noticeable with the first movie, since it's the oldest.

Judging from the equipment you have, you're a hardcore audio freak, so I suggest you to obtain these three 2 CD sets, to be able to compare the two releases.

I'm also a "Williams-maniac" and I have them both

But you may want to wait until the Trilogy gets released on DVD, since Lucas is gonna to release the soundtrack, too, to empty the fans' pockets from the last saved cent (or grosz).

This "event" would also take care of your favorite RRS-1980, since I also live on the Coast, in "Tricity".
In Gdansk, to be exact. I hope you've heard about my city before, you know, Solidarity, shipyard, Walesa, fall of communism... or first salvos in WW2... various celebrities lived here, actors (Klaus Kinski), scientists (D.Fahrenheit, Hevelius), authors (Günter Grass)... rings the bell?

Wanna postcard?

I've immediately thought about this one. And about how those old comic series (like Batman or Capt. America) looked back in 1940s.

The look&feel is just like the design of this old badge:

Bonus question:

Who won this edition of the race?

WOW!!! I don't follow the recent flick announcements (I've periods when I get bored/interested with certain hobbies, like moviewatching) so I'd probably missed it...

And it would be a major mistake!

I usually complain that recent movies are "not in my style", i.e. even when they should be ok (like T3) what I get at the end is disappointment.

Now for the Sky Captain:

* 1930s/40s... somehow I was always interested in that period... and I'm not talking about WW2 only, but also about things like clothes, music, skyscrappers, Art Deco, cars! planes!! Zeppelins! Tommy-guns

* (stylized) "old" sci-fi can be really cool... and even this short trailer builds up the "mood"
* fighter combat!
* comic book superhero that doesn't wear a cape nor has super powers
* and more

Darn, I'll be waiting on this one! Thnx 4 the 'nfo, HotRod.

40 years?

How about 3?

The Russian Antarctic research team (forgot the name of the station, was it Vostok?) wants to probe a huge lake under the ice cap (Ontario is like a puddle next to it). It is supposed to contain 25+million-(?)-years-old organisms etc. - enough to make those four-eyed geeks drool. Now, it was all OK, until other scientist (like USian) started to wonder what can happen if they'll drill a hole through the ice layer. They have calculated that the effect will be like hitting a shaken soda can with a nail - in plane English: kaboom! The pressure (as the water hidden there contains more oxygen) will crack the cap and create huge tidal wave, that will fund tickets to "Waterworld" to half of the Earth populace, K.Costner included. Not to mention those weird super-old bacteria floating everywhere... - "Outbreak" is gonna to be a comedy when compared to it.

Russians do not respond to pleas to stop the drilling. They need 3 more seasons (years) to complete their task.

My special "hello" to all coast dwellers

A side note:

I was watching a some sort of satirical show with my parents today, and as it perfectly laughed up the present political situation in my country, we all enjoyed it, fishing out all those "cute" remarks about those in power. I have friends who share my sense of humor.

Now I'm reading your comments about the current geopolitical sitiuation, and particularly about Dubya and war in Iraq.

And this is what came to my mind:
When (most of) the people you surround yourself with share your point of view, you have strange feeling that other people think the same, that this is how others perceive the events. The only thing that wakes you from such folly is "If they're all thinking "it's all wrong" just as I do, then why we're still in this madness?".

To make fun of a commie motto:
"All sane people of good will - unite!"

At last a voice of reason here. Gundark is a OT.com veteran and deserves some respect.

Besides, Shimraa - it's not the post count that matters, but their quality

If SWHS was as good as "Spaceballs", we'd all have watched it.

SWHS is basically a corny, low budget, boring and childish TV show that "rides" on the stellar popularity of the movie. If you can withstand 30min. of Wookiee growls, Mark just after the accident with a ton of makeup and Carrie doped & singing - see it at your own responsibility.

Damn, and he promised to send me a nice T-72 wrapped in camo-painted paper for X-Mas... guess no chances to get my present now...

LOL

I wish I had the $750 000 there were on him at the moment he was captured. Coz I feel I deserve them more than such a blood-thirsty dictator as he is.
