If you are planning to download movies, you would probably have more success using P2P programs instead of downloading from websites...I have amassed a respectable collection of them over time, all from programs like Kazaa, EDonkey, IMesh, BitTorrent and DC++ :-)

I also use AVG (or do when I need it)...but also HouseCall is a good free alternative for people who want a little protection... ...go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ (it's an online scanner)

A man says to his wife "with the mortgage and all our monthly bills, we're not going to have enough money to survive...you're going to have to go out and sell sex!"...she agrees to do so and on the next night is all done up in her tartiest clothes.She goes out at around 6pm and comes back at 11 with a jar full of money.They sit down together and count it out."?112.50" says the wife, at the end."Who gave you the 50p?""All of them"

That would go better as: The genie then turns to the blonde and asks "So, what is your wish?" To which the blonde replied "Oh, I really can't think...I wish my friends were here to help me decide!"

An irishman goes to the doc with two burnt ears. The doc looks at the ears and exclaims "How did you do this?""Well, I was doing the ironing when someone called me on the phone...I wasn't concentrating so I put the iron to my ear and burnt myself""Both ears?""Well, I had to call you for the appointment, didn't I!"

And the longest word is "smiles"... ...why? Because there's a mile between the two Ses :-) (off-topic to the main post, I know :-))

Best place for downloads from it is [link removed] (which has been around a LONG time and has a good selection of downloads) and IMO Shadow's client is the best...but I've not used BitTorrent or any P2P client for over a year now.Just search https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl for "BitTorrent download" or "BT download" or ".torrent" and you'll find sites with files...it's how I used to find stuff I couldn't get on DC++ or my other sources and that wasn't on SuprNova (very rarely happened tho :-))

Well, excepting VCDs, 3ivX (steer clear of that one :-)), MPEG, VOB (DVD format) and a couple of lesser known ones that WinAMP seem to be using for their video on demand system :-) (I know, you said 90%) I would suggest, BTW, that for all the listed codecs that DivX 5 supports that you install their respective codecs in ascending order...it's a little more space-intensive but if you're a purist you'll be happier with the results...and XviD is its own codec so DivX may (dunno if it does) support it but you really should get a build that's been done by Koepi or Nik or someone :-) and if you go to that site it directs you to http://finalbuilds.com/ which has links :-P But again I iterate that codec packs are more problem than solution unless you really don't care about your PC and reinstall regularly :-) Just like I said :-) Nimo as an idea was good, but nuclear power as an idea was good too :-)

(Football here is UK football, or soccer to the yanks :-))This guy was the coach of the local "Blind league" football team. This team had never won a game in their life due to the fact that couldn't see the ball or the goal in which they were supposed to get it. One day the guy had a great idea...he went to the shops and bought a load of bells (the kind that cats have on their collars) and attached them to the ball so that the blind players could hear where the ball is.The first game they played, the team actually came close to winning (lost 5 to 2 instead of 5 to 0 :-)) so the guy was proud of himself......until the second game where just after half time the players all ran off the pitch and out of the stands...and a minute or so later someone comes running in and shouts out "please, someone help, there's a group of footballers kicking shyt out of a morris dancer out here!"

I've the same phone, and I suggest to EVERYONE who has phones like it (the polyphonic ringtone phones with IRDa) to buy a USB IRDa connector for their PC...free ringtones and all you have to do is download the MIDI file and send it to the phone...I know 'cos that's what I used to do through my laptop's IRDa port :-) An IRDa connection is easy to get hold of, go into any good computer store and they'll have them :-)

I can't remember which comedian it was, but one of them said he was so stoned he mistook the gun for a pizza......well, looks like I've got some new enemies :-)BTW, I like "Smells like teen spirit" and also the Weird Al parody (which apparently Kurt Cobain said he loved :-))

Good to see no-one's mentioned my top 5 movies :-)(in no particular order)Hot Shots seriesNaked Gun seriesScary movie series (SM1 being the #1 best movie)(that's 8 movies, but there's a couple of doozies there :-))

This is of course a UK shop, but Maplin.co.uk has one for ?50 (which is about $80 USD)...128MB of space and it's a pen drive as well so to move MP3s to it you plug it into your USB port and just move it over...downside is Maplin doesn't have a pic for it. Also, Maplin has an *EXCELLENT* 128MB drive for ?25 ($35-$40 USD) or 256MB for ?60 ($100) (see below) http://www.maplin.co.uk/?ModuleldID=&doy=25m11& Note also that the battery in the above lasts 9 hours apparently...the ones with HDs do NOT last that long...and I had an excellent MP3 CD player which would go for maybe 2 hours per set of batteries...flash is the way to go for portability and longevity...although only 30 songs won't last as long as the batteries unless you compress them a lot and they're long files :-)

Ah...last movie in theatres...well, that's different...that was "Layer Cake" which I went to see with my brother (it's a UK movie, a little like Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels and has 2 or 3 actors from it too)...I rarely go to the theatre (we call them cinemas here :-P) to see movies as I usually get to see them long before they're even out over here in cinemas (I'm well connected online so get to d/l them :-)) And the Austin Powers movie was one that I saw (DivX) which I watched a few days ago (again)

I voted other as I have an AMD Thunderbird (P4 equiv, I believe) 2.4Ghz...bought it over a year ago and it's still running, which is a first for anything I own. The PSU inside my machine is fried, but still pumps power into the MB...the fan in it doesn't spin all the time (and makes a hell of a racket when it does) so every so often the PC turns off as the PSU overheats...plus there's a wire loose inside so I have to jiggle the cable between the PSU and the MB to get it working......I'd buy another but I'm a lazy bastard :-)
