I just wish they would let you read it in oldest-post-first format instead of other way around. I hate scrolling up.

interesting… seems like this might be the beginning and the end of charges then? perhaps i am missing something. (https://www.justice.gov/file/1007271/download)

It’s mine and several peoples problem actually but not yours I’m sure. And I don’t mean one or two. But I won’t give them away, like you said it’s. It your problem anyway

I don’t know what the end couple of sentences of this post means - it doesn’t read at all.

However, given the content of the first sentence - don’t worry about it - someone else will be along here to explain for you.

Don’t pour gasoline on the fire man…

I suppose I should try and explain myself for that comment. I was trying to be rude because Handman’s comment pissed me off, but at the same time the simple “Fuck you.” has been an OT.com lighthearted insult that I thought most people would get, although I guess it has been replaced by “Up ur” now.

i got it. clearly LordZerome did not. what is it with people have Lord in their usernames?

Star Wars Despecialized Editions - Custom Bluray Set (Released)
Time

I downloaded these some time ago (pretty sure from Myspleen). They sat on my hard drive as I didn’t have access to a Blu-ray writer. I just burned them to Blu-ray this weekend. It looks & sounds great. I noticed, on seeing the first page of this thread, my menus and options look different than the ones pictured on the first page. Did NJVC update his menus sometime? I just want to make sure I got the right version.

The one on page 1 shows for the main menu, Vader holding up the rebel soldier by the neck.
Mine shows the same options, but plays the video of the original trailer.

For features, page 1 shows the cantina alien. Mine has the artwork of the landspeeder being stopped by Stormtroopers in Mos Eisley.

For audio, page 1 shows a frame of the rebel soldiers at the beginning of the movie, mine has some artwork.
Sound options on page 1 appear to be:
5.1 Surround [DTS-HD-MA] (1977 70mm six track mix)
2.0 Stereo [DTS-HD-MA] (1977 35mm Stereo mix)
3 1.0 Mono [DTS-HD-MA]) (1977 35mm mono mix)
As well as other non-English options.

Mine lists only:5.1 surround, 2.0 stereo, 1.0 mono

Anyone have any insight on this?
I am still giddy over finally getting these on blu-ray and thanks again to those who made it possible.

you may have downloaded the version 1 discs… (Star Wars Despecialized V2.7 BD25.iso 22.93 GB) they were posted on May 2016.

Guess who still hasn’t filled out scholarship applications

Is it the application that frustrates you, or the stress if going to college and not knowing what you want out of it yet?

Yes.

I think you will figure it out, just take one step at a time.

what is good advice for one person, isn’t good advice for another, so i wish i could tell you something wise, but i think you are probably wise enough to sort it out (with some good input from those around you). I know for me it was important to just get it on with, and not postpone college. it took me till halfway through my sophmore year to get serious, and switch majors to something i was enthusiastic about, but for me it was important to just keep moving. But i have heard from others who took off a few years to work before starting college, and for them they swore that was the only way to go.

Like everything, there are hundreds of variables and you can drive yourself crazy. but you have to consider 1) is college right now going to create unbearable debt / what financial aid can i get 2) what am i good at, what do i want to be good at 3) will i regret this

Its always a good idea to start finding healthy ways to relieve stress. physical activity is a great way, i used to play ultimate frisbee when i was your age (or closer to it), and meditiation can be good too. this is a life skill. (and hey, applications usually love to hear about your life skillz!)
