Gah! Who necroed a topic like this? Bring back the string thread... a much more interesting topic.

Umm... that's all well and good, but it's over a month old already.

Back in October: http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights.html

In any case, the CDs with the rootkit were mostly all pooh anyways. LOL Here's a partial list: Trey Anastasio, Shine (Columbia) - Who? Celine Dion, On ne Change Pas (Epic) - Crap! Neil Diamond, 12 Songs (Columbia) - Crap! Our Lady Peace, Healthy in Paranoid Times (Columbia) - Boring. Chris Botti, To Love Again (Columbia) - Who? Van Zant, Get Right with the Man (Columbia) - Country?!? Ugh! Switchfoot, Nothing is Sound (Columbia) - Crap. The Coral, The Invisible Invasion (Columbia) - Who? Acceptance, Phantoms (Columbia) - Who? Susie Suh, Susie Suh (Epic) - Who? Amerie, Touch (Columbia) - Boring. (niiiice legs though...) Life of Agony, Broken Valley (Epic) - Who? Horace Silver Quintet, Silver's Blue (Epic Legacy) - Who what?!? Gerry Mulligan, Jeru (Columbia Legacy) - Who? Dexter Gordon, Manhattan Symphonie (Columbia Legacy) - Who? The Bad Plus, Suspicious Activity (Columbia) - Who? The Dead 60s, The Dead 60s (Epic) - Shoulda' stayed dead. Dion, The Essential Dion (Columbia Legacy) - Ugh! Natasha Bedingfield, Unwritten (Epic) - Serves you right! Ricky Martin, Life (Columbia) (labeled as XCP, but, oddly, our disc had no protection) - All fans of his deserve every bit of discomfort their computer provides in exchange for making Ricky put out a new CD.

The music isn't played "live" through speakers... it's broadcast over a low-power short-range FM band, and there are signs near the house letting you know what frequency to tune into to hear it. You drive by, tune your radio, listen, and then leave. Mind you, some may find the flashing irritating... who knows? I wouldn't really care, my rooms that I use (bedroom, TV room, etc) aren't facing teh street anyways.

I never said drugs taken "now" were what killed him... it was years and years of self abuse that broke his body down, specifically his heart. I don't know where you heard the part about head-trauma, but that isn't what his own wife claimed when she read the findings of the autopsy.

that's so cool. i wonder how long did he took to finish up the whole thing. it's so awesome. thanks for sharing.. i did have a great time watching it.

Two months of set-up and wiring, and about 3 hours doing the audio synch.

2002 Mazda Protege5.... hopefully gone within the next month or three.

All the info about how it's done etc can be found here: http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/xmaslights.asp

In Eddie's case it was alcohol and prescription drug-use for many years that did irreparable damage to his body. Despite being clean for 4 years, his heart was too far gone.

Not too long after Eddie's death the wrestler known as Eugene (can't remember his real name) was found passed-out in a hotel lobby in England. Apparently he's addicted to Somas (muscle relaxant & pain killer) and has checked himself into rehab.

End Of Evangelion... definitely the most WTF moments packed into a very short time frame. LOL

In semi-related news... WWE recently announced that they'd be starting mandatory drug-testing for performance enhancing drugs, recreational drugs, and abuse of prescription drugs.

Shopping for "underwear" with a girlfriend isn't particularly interesting... shopping for "lingerie" on the other hand... nice! :)

Long-distance relationships can work, I have no doubt of it. A friend of mine left for Italy today to get married in a couple of weeks. He's been in a relationship with his girlfriend there for 5 years already. Now you have to be honest and admit to yourself right away that it will NOT be easy. And you'd better be more than 100% sure that the person is worth it, and you both have to have unwavering trust in each other. If either person is missing any of that it won't last very long. However, if both people truly believe in their hearts it's worth it, and will make the sacrifices needed to be certain that things work out, they can and will.

50% discount is kinda good but they don't really cost much right?

You've evidently never shopped for underwear with a woman... seriously, females in general get ripped off when it comes to their undergarments when you compare the $$$ to ours.

Are you talking about wearing hotpants/strings under normal clothes? or as apparel on their own (beachwear)?

one of the nicest anime i've ever watched. period.

Exactly! It's a total "feel good" experience. :)

Onegai Twins isn't exactly a sequal... it's another series that takes place in the same town, about a year later, and features mostly new characters, except Ichigo is in it fairly often, and Mizuho and Kei make a few cameos.

Well that's only natural.

I forgot to add I've been loosely paying attention to Naruto and Gundam SEED on TV Friday nights lately too...

Just started Godannar last night... also have 2 unwatched DVDs of GitS:SAC. For fansubbed stuff I'm watching He Is My Master (funny stuff) and I heard Ai Yori Aoshi is pretty funny so am DLing that, but haven't started watching yet.

There's a link to the article.

I watched Will & Grace when it was fresh and funny. Now that it's tired and cliché I can no longer be bothered. They keep recycling the same gay jokes over and over, ad nauseam.

I wish I had a mom in Hawaii. :(

Or a mom who works for a cruise line... that'd work for me too.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good god.... the mental image you just gave me.... oh, I can't erase it now. I'm afraid to close my eyes for fear of what I may see.... :O

Funny... yes.

Over-rated... even more so.
