  1. I'm not sure if I would want to know. Maybe. Could be nice doing the stuff you would want to do before dying. Then tell your loved one what you've never told her before because you were to afraid. I am not saying that I would want to know, but I am not saying that I wouldn't want to know.
  2. I would also say that there are millions of books of the same type which is better, but these books by Dan Brown has touched people in a way that makes them want more from him. The Da Vinci Code was a title which made people curious so they read it and loved it. Maybe because they have not heard or read other books of the same type. Anyway, this book is very good, but there are better out there(my guess)
  3. I also use Thunderbird by Mozilla. I used Outlook for a while but didn't like it so I changed. Im really happy with Thunderbird. Its easy, simple and really good.
  4. Max Payne DOES really rock. The story is incredibly cool and the action in the game is so awsome. Gets a bit scary sometimes lol. I especially like the last chapter in both games. In the end you got to look around and think what to do next because it is like a dead end, but there is something you can do to win the *BLEEP*! The game gets frustrating sometimes. Once I quicksaved in stead of quick loading when I died so when I loaded the game I was dead lol.
  5. Google Translate is not too bad. It is much better than https://www.freetranslation.com/ but it can not beat http://translate.reference.com/. Just try it and you will see. The translations are more accurate and it is a real lifesaver. Let us say that Google Translation will save you from falling off your bike, but Dictionary.com will stop a bullet for you . Dont look at this as a commercial for Dicitonary.com. I'm just making you see the light
  6. The teachers aren't really the top standard, but they are mediocre. Anyway I don't really like my school. I don't like any school. About 5000 years ago when people where dumb idiots they didn't have to worry about these stuff, only about survival. If you aren't good at school you get a wasted life. It wasnt like that before. Better to be a dumb idiot and be happy than being an Einstein and worrying about time consuming things all the time.
  7. You are right on that one, but most of the services I've added does have good server up-time(I think?). Not sure about AOL though. I don't have any real experience about that one. I would recommend the top 3 in my list for starters.
  8. It would have been cool if you didn't have to use real money to get the in-game credits. Sulake does have a cool design on furnitures and stuff like that.
  9. I used to play it (not factions, but prochecies). Then when I completed all the missions with my warrior and did most of the quests, I got a bit bored and took a break. Then I started playing again and got a bit far with my monk, but again it became a bit boring since it was a monk(healing gets boring). So I made a Mesmer. It was quite cool and I would not have stopped if I didn't buy Warcraft III and the Battlefield 1942 Anthology. The problem with Guild Wars is that the World Map is much smaller than it looks like. Half of the map is covered in water(you can's swim) and there are some places which you can not access(only see from a cliff or something). World of Warcraft on the other hand is full accessable. You can walk and jump wherever you want. Only annoying thing there is that it is a lot of travelling on foot. On Guild Wars you can map travel.Another bad thing about Guild Wars is that if you want to play with your friends, you will have to make a "party" in a town or an outpost and then exit the town\outpost through a portal. Then you get a copy of the world where only your party and other creeps\monsters are. If you want to meet up with somebody else you will have to go back to a town\outpost and thats just lame. They should have done it like WoW.The bad thing about WoW is that there is a monthly fee.
  10. I was really happy, proud and excited. New mails always excite me(im a freak, i know ).Still almost none of my friends have Gmail. I dont use it for MSN Messenger which I could have instead of having the Hotmail account as extra weight, but I like it the way it is right now and dont want to change my way. I got an invitation by a friend(no Google here, no). Must have been cool getting a invitation straight from Google. Makes you special doesn't it
  11. I would say don't take Ultimate unless you need the advanced features of Vista which you will surely not use often(there are of course the protection against hardware failure which you will only get on Business other than Ultimate). Don't take Basic Vista as it is useless. Then it stands between Premium and Business and that choice you have to take by looking at features of both packs. This page might help: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/products/windows As you see there are some features that Premium supports and Business doesn't(Media Center...) and some that Business supports, but Premium doesn't. Good Luck in choosing your new operating system!
  12. I will upgrade one day, but not yet. Doesn't seem like there is a good reason to get it yet. About all my softwares run perfectly on Windows XP and Vista surely has a lot of bugs at the moment. My brother just got a new laptop, which has XP, but it so that we can get a free Vista from Packard Bell and then I may install it. It might have a "packard-bell" lock or something, but elsewhise I will install it(if it isnt basic vista because it doesn't seem like it is worth buying)
  13. I have never tried mac before. I have always been a windows kinda guy. One of the reasons I wouldn't want Mac is the compatability problem with a lot of softwares. That Boot Camp thing sounds complicatex and many others may think so too and that may be the reason they wouldn't want Mac. As Windows Vista has come out, a lot of people would rather have that because of all the new offline features it has. As for iPod and iTunes: I HATE IT - or i dislike them. I'm not really fund of Apple products, and the iPod is one of those wich I like the least.
  14. Angels and Demons is a book by Dan Brown. It is the first book in which Robert Langdon takes a part and the series of events in this book takes place one year before The Da Vinci Code. Robert Langdon is a professor in religious symbology at Harvard. When he gets a phone call 5 o'clock in the night, which says that he needs to come at once because it is of absolute importance, he doesn't take it serious, but when he gets a fax with a picture of a naked man with the word "Illuminati" burned on his chest, he is forced to travel to a Swiss research center and analyze the cryptic symbol. His discovery is unbelievable. While the Vatican State is choosing a new pope, a old and secret brotherhood is planning a spectacular plan to attack the Vatican with a new stolen technology. The "church" of all catholic churchs is in the biggest danger it has ever been in. Robert Langdons knowledge is crucial for the Vaticans survival. This book is incredibly wonderful. I enjoyed it more than The Da Vinci Code. The codes and riddles tighten the excitement to utter bewilderment. This book is absolutely worth reading.
  15. Some people wonder what E-mail service they should use. Here is a list of some that you could choose (I am listing those that I know and remember. If you know any other services, please post a reaply and tell which one) : Hotmail - 1024 MB Space - Good Uptime (haven't noticed any so far) Gmail[GoogleMail] - 2823 MB Space(continously expanding) - Good Uptime - POP3 and SMTP access Yahoo Mail (mail.yahoo.com): - 1 GB Space - Good AJAX Sink (whatever that is) - POP3 and SMTP access - Great Security (probably the best) - Offers free 15 MB web hosting as a subdomain of Geocites.com AOL Mail (webmail.aol.com): - 2 GB Space Windows Mail - 2 GB Space Inbox Mail (http://www.inbox.com/): - 5 GB Space Dodgeit (http://www.dodgeit.com/): - Unlimited Space (, Intelligence says) (message deletes after 7 days) (receive only). MyRealBox (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/): - 10 MB Space - Good Spam filter - POP3 and IMAP access - Good Uptime Mail15 (https://qip.ru/mnt/pages/login/lo?captcha&retpath=https://mail.qip.ru): - Unlimited Mailbox Space. You choose the size! - POP3, SMTP, IMAP and SHTTP support - Automatic antispam and mass mailing filters - Automatic Antivirus checking of incoming and outgoing mail - Offers 20 MB free web hosting with website builder, which support FTP access - It's in russian, but you can press english and get it in english Mail.com (https://www.mail.com/int/): - 100 MB Space - AJAX Interface(recommended for broadband users - optional) - Variety of mail addresses to choose(List) - Free calender, greeting cards, e-cards, notepad and games included - A few ads (a banner on top)
  16. I use:Hotmail for msn messenger - I dont register with this mail anywhere because I don't want rubbish on itGmail for mailing and registering places - I could use it for messenger, but I don't (thats what Hotmail is for )I had a Yahoo mail and a Online.no mail, but I have not used them for a long time and have almost completely forgotten about them.In my opinion Gmail is the ultimate mail, since its' space is expanding every second( it is reaching 3000 ) + you can register it for net passport (but i think yahoo and online.no also can do that now).
  17. Last book I read was: Angels and Demons. It is a book by Dan Brown and personally I think it is better that The Da Vinci Code. The plot is much bigger and the surprise in the end is totally cool.
  18. I use J River Media Center. Its' startup is a bit slower than Media Player, but it is much more organized and it is easier to find your music. I must admit that Media Player has improved a lot. Media Player 11 is more organized and it does have a really cool layout, but Media Center rocks!
  19. I totally agree that Harry does have the blame for Sirius' death. If the had obeyed Dumbledore, Sirius' would not have come to the ministry and died. Those who say this is wrong: "If Harry had not come, the death eaters would have grabbed The Prochecy". Harry and Voldemort is the only people who could touch The Prochecy as it was only about them. Voldemort couldn't come to the ministry so he wanted Harry to do the job. As Dumbledore already knew what The Prochecy would say there was no need to go and find out for Harry. So in the fifth book, Harry just screws everything up.
  20. The movies leave a lot out. If you wan't the full story, you should read the books. Will be fun watching the fifth movie and it will be great reading the last book, but in the same time it will be really sad when the book ends as it is the last book. I wish there could be more books, but if J.K extends the end I think it will be like a show like LOST which they extend and make it boring.
  21. The Harry Potter movies aren't really great, but I like them. I like the books more of course, but the movies aren't too bad. They are entertaining and it's a good movie to watch when you just want to relax with friends and dont want to think about figuring out a riddle in the movie. The movies skip a lot of things that happend in the books, it's to shorten them down, but sometimes they skip important stuff: like in the third harry potter book he meets Cho Chang for the first time, but in the movies it doesn't happend(as far I can remember?).The Lord of the Rings movies are better than the books actually. Tolkien really made the books boring with the long dialogs which lasts ten pages each chapter. The movies cut down the boring parts and magnify the exciting events. I didn't like the second movie. It was really boring. The first and the third movies were great. I can't decide which of the movies I like best.The Lord of the Rings is a bit "thinking-movie" but Harry Potter isn't. If you just wan't to watch a movie without following that much Harry Potter would be a better choice.
  22. They can't just change things like this. Even though the worst we will go through is namechange, i think it's bad enough. I like the name Gmail. Googlemail sounds awkward. Its too long
  23. i dont like opera that much. I use IE myself, but I dont have much against Firefox. Opera however is a bit out of my taste. There are many foreign fonts that Opera don't support so some webpages don't appear properly. At least they didn't when I stopped using Opera. Firefox is a better choice for those who want to quit IE because of safety. However it has been said that there are appearing exploits on firefox now and not only IE

    Best Freeware

    Winrar is the best compressor program after my opinion. It supports all the files as far as i know(havent had a file i could not uncompress with winrar). As said: it doesnt stop working after thirty days.
