It's time that I should be made a mod again. We need to rid ourselves of the plague that is Arpi.
We've had many many chances in the past to get rid of him. But no one ever had the balls to delete him.
Now is the time people. Put me in charge again and we'll be rid of this disease.

This movie blows Training Day the fuck away. Jason Patric is an undercover narcotics agent and he is partnered with Ray Liotta who was friends with a cop who was shot and killed as an undercover narcotics agent.
This could be the most intense movie I ever saw or very close. Ray Liotta is a fucking nutjob or the loose cannon and all he can say is he goes to town on a few drug addicts.
Trust me, this is a must see movie. You will not be dissapointed. One scene was so intense that I actually had goosebumps and the hair on my arms was standing up. This is the best I ever saw Ray Liotta.
Go see it!!!

This gave me a chuckle. Most won't give two fucks about it, but I know Gonzo will appreciate the amusement in the questions.

who am I?
You are Dmitri Shostakovich!
Congratulations! You are a shy, nervous, unassuming, fidgety, and stuttery little person who began composing the same year you started music lessons of any sort. You wrote the first of your fifteen symphonies at age 18, and your second opera, "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District," when you were only 26. Unfortunately, Stalin hated the opera, and put you on the Enemy Of The People List for life. You nevertheless kept composing the works you wanted to write in private; some of your vocal cycles and 15 string quartets mock the Soviet System in notes. And you somehow were NOT killed in the process! And Harry Potter© stole your glasses and broke them!

Quote:The following is from WWE.com:
RAW comes to you live tonight (9/8 CT on the new TNN).
Eric Bischoff has less than one month to make some dramatic changes to RAW and appease his boss, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Expect the RAW General Manager to do whatever it takes to avoid being fired. What innovative ideas will Bischoff employ? Rumor has it that tonight's episode of RAW could turn into an outrageous show. Tune in to TNN tonight at 9/8 CT to see what tricks Bischoff pulls out!
Scott Steiner can not be happy with the outcome of his match against Triple H last night at the Royal Rumble. Steiner picked up a win over The Game, but since he prevailed due to a disqualification, the World Heavyweight Championship didn't fall into his hands. Will Big Poppa Pump continue to chase the championship? Will a new challenger to the title step forward? Find out tonight!
The Dudley Boyz are World Tag Team Champions once again. Which tandem will be the first to step up to the new champs? What will happen when Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho step into the same building following their clash during the Royal Rumble Match? Get all the answers tonight on RAW, starting at 9/8 CT on the new TNN! Check back here later today to learn what matches have been announced for the night.
With bischoff having 4 weeks to turn things around on raw, you know he will make things interesting. What do you think the surprise will be? A trade maybe, bringing back the ic title? the signing of Austin or Goldberg? Should be good with Wrestlemania less than 2 months away.

| Microsoft unveils new CD copy protection - when does it end? |

copied/pasted in case CNET changes the link : Quote:CANNES, France--Microsoft announced on Saturday new digital rights software aimed at helping music labels control unauthorized copying of CDs, one of the biggest thorns in the ailing industry's side.
Stung by the common practice of consumers copying, or "burning," new versions of a store-bought CD onto recordable CDs, music companies have invested heavily in copy-protection technologies that have mainly backfired or annoyed customers.
For example, most copy-proof CDs are designed so that they cannot be played on a PC, but often this prevents playback on portable devices and car stereos too.
Last year, some resourceful software enthusiasts cracked Sony Music's proprietary technology simply by scribbling around the edges of the disc with a Magic Marker pen, thus enabling playback on any device.
Microsoft believes it may have come up with a solution. The new software is called the Windows Media Data Session Toolkit.
It enables music labels to lay songs onto a copy-controlled CD in multiple layers, one that would permit normal playback on a stereo and a PC.
The PC layer, laid digitally on the same disc, can be modified by the content provider, so that they could prevent, for example, burning songs onto another CD, said David Fester, general manager, digital media entertainment for Microsoft.
Universal Music and EMI, two of the biggest record labels in the world, "are very excited about this because it enables the industry to build a CD with their own protections built in," he said, speaking at the Midem music conference in southern France.
Microsoft has invested $500 million in digital rights management, or DRM, for music, Fester said. The Toolkit was co-developed with technology partners Phoenix-based SunnComm Technologies and France's MPO International Group, he added.
Microsoft is making a concerted push into DRM, a hotly contested new field.
Technology and media companies, such as Microsoft, Sony, Philips and Real Networks, are looking to build a business out of securing copyright protections across the Internet and other digital media.
Microsoft has discussed plans for an upcoming operating system, code-named "Palladium," that will seek to put user controls on all bits of information they store on a computer document, from medical records to billing information.
Why doesn't the recording industry just give the consumer what he/she wants - cheaper CD's with more content and ultimately, better music? They love to blame Napster/Kazaa, etc. for the decline in music sales, but yet they fail to see that people don't want to buy CD's for only 1 or 2 good songs - and shell out close to $20 to boot! I download a lot of music, and most times if I hear enough good music from an artist I'll buy the CD - which is what I think most people do, especially if they're loyal to a particular band. Maybe if the recording industry got their heads out of their asses and actually gave some $$ back to the artists and consumers, they might see people returning to the music section and actually buying a CD.
And does anyone else think that this MS technology will be hackable - assuming it isn't already? For MS being the monopoly that it is, their software has proven to be the most easily cracked software around. The movie industry tried to kill DVD copying, yet I still see several DVD rips available for download... 
edit : I think I meant to post this in the music forum (oops)

I'll start a thread here too. If everyone starts a thread or two here, it's like you're not even in the cell anymore. :thumbs-up:
