OK, how about THIS one:

Yoda: No! Try not! Do! Or do not! There is no try...

Luke: Only a sith deals in absolutes. I'll do what I must. *lights up lightsaber, decapitates Yoda*

Uh... she is marrying Tom Cruise. Millions of dollars and fame. All she has to do is to put up with this scam of a religion.

Please avoid spoilers, everyone. But I agree, both Unbreakable and Signs should not be listed, although I enjoyed both films.

Let's try to compare housing costs. I'm currently living in a neat 2 bedroom apartment with a living room, bathroom and kitchen, plus a little extra area, and I'm paying US$190.00/month rent, which also includes water costs. I've heard that the same apartment in the US would cost much more...

I was having this conversation this other day, about films that have a twist or surprise ending, and I've tried to think of all the movies with such plot device. So, if you can, please contribute to the list.

PLEASE DO NOT POST SPOILERS!!!

Psycho
The Sixth Sense
The Village
The Usual Suspects
Arlington Road
The Sting
The Empire Strikes Back
Memento
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Match Point

In order to properly evaluate the strenght of a country's currency, you should not just compare it to dollars, there are some stuff to be taken into consideration: what is the minimal wage, what is the medium wage, how much taxes are into the products, how much taxes people pay, what are the services provided by the government, such as health care and education, the costs of living... Like, from what I've seen, the costs of housing in America are waaaaaay more expensive than here. You gotta take all that and see how much the average person can afford on a day to day basis, how is his standart of living.

Seems to me it's merely an audio editor, but it states it can "record live", not sure what that means. I'm gonna try it and see if it works. On the meanwhile, if anyone has a better idea... now is the time.

GOD damn it, that's it!! I fucking give up!! I'll watch "queer eye" and "brokeback mountain" while listening to "it's raining men" and "i love the nightlife" 24 hours a day, while drinking that "gay fuel" drink until I change my preferences and try a little bit of the other side, I can't be as unlucky as I was on our side here!

The sad part is, there are a number of people earning that much. People who work as marketing phone attendants earn that much, and if you are not happy about it, you're fired. I have no idea how these people can afford a living. Some of them live with other people who can generate more income, others have to live with R$300.00 to mantain their family. Those people live in slums, usually in poorly built houses, with no proper healthcare or feeding...

The minimum wage here is R$300.00 a month, that is, US$137.42. End of discussion on which country is finished.

Does anyone here know of a software which would allow me to record audio from a microphone input AND allow me to play audio bits or even video files, while mixing this all together, pretty much like a radio station? If possible, show a directory or folder with the audio bits, you know, like a radio station table, which would allow me to play the audio I want, control the microphones, stuff like that. It would be necessary to record it on mp3 or wav or something, mixing it all together "live", as it records... It could be shareware, but if it's freeware, that's even better.

Harry Potter 4 DVD: £14.99
Big Mac Meal from McDonalds: £3.18
X-Box 360 with Ghost Recon and memory card: £259.99
Large Meat Feast Pizza from Pizza Hut: £12.99
1 litre of Tropicana Orange Juice: £1.69

Also:

My rent for a one bedroom flat: £605 per calender month (which is extremely cheap, BTW - average is about £800)
1 Litre of unleaded petrol: £0.95

Bearing in mind that I earn roughly £270 a week after tax working in a respectable and educated job working for the government and I hold a university Batchelors degree and am 25 years old and married.

OK let's transform that into dollars so we can compare to our local currency (Brazillian Real).

Harry Potter 4 DVD UK: £14.99 = US$26.08
Big Mac Meal from McDonalds UK: £3.18 = US$5.53
X-Box 360 with Ghost Recon and memory card UK: £259.99 = US$452.38
Large Meat Feast Pizza from Pizza Hut UK: £12.99 = US$22.60
1 litre of Tropicana Orange Juice UK: £1.69 = US$2.94
1 litre of petrol UK: £0.95 = US$1.65

Here (I'm trying to go by memory here, so it might not be accurate):

Harry Potter 4 DVD Brazil: R$45.00 = US$20.61
Big Mac Meal from McDonalds Brazil: R$9.00 = US$4.12
X-Box 360 with Ghost Recon and memory card Brazil: R$1200.00 = US$549.67
Large Meat Feast Pizza from Pizza Hut Brazil: R$23.00 = US$10.53 (if you are a student, you have 50% discount on some pizzas)
1 litre of Tropicana Orange Juice Brazil: R$3.00 = US$1.37
1 litre of petrol Brazil: R$2.50 = US$1.14

So I suppose we are in better shape, but most items here are not electronics. See how we pay more for electronic goods. Videogames are specially expensive here. A good PC game can cost 100 reais, about 45 dollars. A Nintendo DS game can cost 130 reais, almost 60 dollars.

OK. Let's see if that is true. Tell me how much would you pay for a good computer, a PC game, an XBOX 360, or a DVD, any electronic good at all, and I'll say how much those cost here, and then we'll see who gets ripped off.

Well there are some coincidences, but you were pretty generic in your descriptions, specially for ROTS - ROTJ, which, apart from a character rescue and an evil masterplan, are not very alike.
