Borat is a really awesome, hilarious movie and is also very original. It's about this guy who says his name is Borat Sanchez (though he is really an actor from the UK) and he is from "the great nation of" Kazakhistan. He is going to the US to learn about there culture and report back the his country. He interviews a buncha old people who are apparently like all important or something but he asks them all these stupid questions and acts extremely racist and hates jews which is very funny. Borat also played a character called Ali G in the Ali G TV series which was, I thought, even funnier because he dressed up as a rapper and interviewed famous people and asked stupid questions.

I personally see nothing wrong with being gay since, though I would never take it up the butty (Ali G quote lol), it is other peoples decision and the USA is a free country so what right does the government have to stop you? Why not marry someone if your attracted to them? If the reason you think it's wrong is because your religion says it is then ffs question your religion! I am not really religious and try as hard as I can to avoid the church (boring sermons). If you don't like gays for whatever reason keep it to yourself because if for some reason everyone turned gay and decided to outlaw being straight (not taking into the account the fact it would be impossible to have children..) you would probably be pretty pissed off.

Don Imus has rightly been fired. A grown man who has many years experience on a radio show should have known better than to demean anyone on the air. His buddy Maguire or whatever his name is should be thrown in also. If anything this guy egged on Imus, him being the first to call these learned women 'hoes'.

 

I think that Imus should have resigned - it was the honorable thing to do. Instead his was disgraced when he was fired. His choice though, if he would of resigned maybe he would be in a different situation.

 

Imus has done great things in the past, but his time on the radio is over. He is too old-school for the media today.

I take it smack.. You have never herd is show. He COSTANTLY is bigotted and is always making raunchy jokes.

 

Saint_Michel: Not only can people of there race make fun of there race black people can make fun of white people all they want and I personally don't mind.

 

People say stupid things but the fact is no one will ever get over the past and keep it their. Their are more important things to talk about then what people say and their are more important things then making money.

Also I have never seen someone use their so many times in the wrong way in one sentence lmao. All of the "theirs" in those two sentences should have been "theres".

Wow this post is getting alot of response and all of them are very interesting but very long so I only read the first 3 and the last 2.That is interesting about the smaller particles matak and the 11 dimensions. This kind of topic is alot of fun to discus since it makes you think way out of the box.csp: I actually want to be a movie producer when I get older because of the fact they are so open to so many different ideas and give people ideas which can turn into theories. Even if a movie is completely incorrect in so many ways and breaks so many laws someone can change a few things around to make it make since to them like in the Simpsons episode there may have been scientific errors in it but it made me think in a different way.I think it's fun to think of it in the simplest way possible where were inside a galaxy which is inside a universe which is inside a "Quantum Theory" which is inside of an organism which is inside of another world which is inside of a galaxy and so on and also vice versa. Smack: You made me remember MIB which is pretty much a simplified version of what I'm talking about because it is smaller worlds within smaller worlds. BTW, very good movie...OpaQue: Think of it this way. Instead of zooming in zoom out until the galaxie is about the size of the dimmest star in the night. Now that speck could be anything as far as you know without scientists telling you what it really is. But there are lots of galaxies so imagine zooming out even farther until the space between the galaxies is not see able and it looks like a larger speck (Which is really combined of thousands of galaxies) but still without the aide of a scientist to tell you what it is as far as you know its a large/bright star. So if you can't see the exact detailed surface of quork then how do you know it isn't trillions of galaxies that are to close together to measure but are not touching meaning at a certain view they would seem very far apart. I hope that helped you to understand unless you did understand and I just didn't understand your post.

I'm in highschool as of now and personally hate it but I do understand that it is important. School helps you to think in different ways which, the matter what your planning on going into, will benefit you further in life. I learn stuff everyday that I know I will never use again but it teachs you to think in this different way. Algebra 2 seems like the most pointless class ever because when am I going to need to know how to simplify the square root of (7x^2+6z) times the square root of another thing that looks like that!? The teacher says stuff about how if were going to go into aricitectual design it will befit us but I don't plan on anything like that.The real question about the education is how the tests we take at the end of the year that are for the government to figure out if your learning anything. The entire year you have to base all the classes on preparing the kids for the test which means the teachers have to put off all of there other work inorder to make sure the kids do well on the tests or the school gets less funding the next year.

I think the best question would be "what do you do when the power goes out". What I do is I sometimes read a book but usually I just sit around bored or workout . Of course if my computer still turns on and I just don't have internet I play Empire Earth not online or work with Dreamweaver so when it does come back on I have something to do. If the weather is good outside I like to go for a run up my hill or go biking. If your REALLY bored I wonder around the house while talking to my friends on the phone. The first thing I do when it goes out though is to call up the internet provider and flame them until they send out a technition to help me and if they refuse to I figure it out myself.seez: EXACTLY!Casino: But what would you buy without the interwebs to tell you?!?!!? I guess commercials work but you can't get uber good deals without eBay!

Introduction:

I have always had a theory on what is outside the universe where we have never been and telescopes cannot see. I actually saw a variation of this in the beginning intro to a Simpsons episode where they zoomed out until you could see all of the galaxies and then kept zooming out until there were lots of galaxies and that turned into molecules which turned back into Homers forhead where at that point he says "woahhhh" in a stupid sort of way which makes me laugh.

 

My Theory:

We don't know whats smaller than a quork (think i spelled that wrong) and we do not know whats larger than a galaxy. So my theory is that if we zoom out passed all of the galaxies the galaxies become the next smallest thing to quorks which as you continue to zoom out you see molecules and so on until it forms a shape which could be anything since everything is made of atoms (except light... and energy..). This works the same way vice versa where if you zoom in you start seeing things that resemble galaxies if you zoom in and eventually you start seeing universes and more detailed things such as other worlds.

 

If you didn't understand this brief explanation of the universe don't feel stupid because this is one of the hardest things to explain and this is just my theory which could be completely wrong but since we don't know all we can read about is the theories.

First make create 16 bit 640*480 image and save it as boot.bmp in 'c:\windows' directory
Click Start|Run and type c:\boot.ini.
The file opens in Notepad.
Look for an entry similar to this.

"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect"

Add /noguiboot /bootlogo at the end of the line so that it looks like this.

"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /noguiboot /bootlogo"

We add the /noguiboot switch to remove the existing splash screen.
We add the /bootlogo switch to add our own image.

good luck!
Just MAKE SURE the image is 16 bit colour and the resolution 640*480 px

How to manually remove viruses!

Have you ever been in the possition that you know you have an virus but you dont have any antivirus?? Its almost impossible to remove it manual without knowing about a few tips & tricks.
After reading this turtorial im sure you will know how to manual remove most of the virus lurking around. But that dosnt mean you shouldnt have any anti virus on you computer!
Anyway, lets get starting with the turtorial.. I suppose you already know what safe mode is. If you dont try pressing the F8 key some times when you start your computer. You havto do this when your computer is about to start the first windows components. In win2k or xp i think you can press space and then F8 when it ask you if you want to go back to previous working setting.
Enough talk about how to start you computer in safe mode, but if you want to manual remove viruses you almost everytime haveto do this in safe mode becouse in safemode most viruses dosnt start. Only some few windows component is allowed to run in safemode. So here is what to do.
Step: 1: Start your computer in safemode.
2: If you know where the virus are hiding delete the executable file.
3: Open the registry and go to the keys below and add an : in front of the value of the string that you think its the virus. Like this, if string is "virus" and its value is "c:\virus.exe" change its value to ":c:\virus.exe". The : is like comenting out the value. But if you are sure its the virus you can just delete the string.
Here are the keys you maybe want to look at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce

4: The virus can start itself from some other places to. win.ini is the most common files that viruses can use. Soo you should find the files named win.ini and system.ini and look through them and see if you find anything.
5: Look through the startup folder that is normaly located in your profile directory \Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
6: Try searching for the virus executable to see if its hiding some other place.
7: Finally look through the list of services that windows is running. This list is often located under control panel - administrative tools - services. After this 7 steps just reboot your computer in normal mode and try to figure out if the virus is still there.. If not SUCCESS if yes, try to go back to safe mode and hunt some more. Off course this 7 steps will not work on every virus out there, but many of them.

WARNING: Be careful when in the registery because you can cause serious damage to your system in there.

How many people here like those old, pixelated, 8 bit games?! Well I know I loved them all.

If you don't know much about Don Imus here is a brief summary of what happened:

CBS brought a weeklong confrontation over a racial and sexual insult by the radio host Don Imus to an end yesterday when it canceled the “Imus in the Morning” program, effective immediately.
The move came a day after the cable television network MSNBC, a General Electric unit that has simulcast Mr. Imus’s radio program for the last 10 years, removed the show from its morning lineup. The two moves, taken together, mean that Mr. Imus, who has been broadcasting the program for more than 30 years, no longer has a home on either national radio or television.

It is possible, though, that he could re-emerge on satellite radio.

Mr. Imus received the news at home in a telephone call. Many of his listeners learned of it during the afternoon radio show “Mike and the Mad Dog,” which announced it on WFAN, the CBS-owned New York station that also carried Mr. Imus’s program.

The CBS chief executive, Leslie Moonves, met yesterday afternoon with the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, leaders in what became a national movement to remove Mr. Imus from the air in the wake of his comments disparaging members of the Rutgers women’s basketball team. On April 4, Mr. Imus referred on the air to the Rutgers athletes as “nappy-headed hos.”

Both CBS and MSNBC had been under pressure from black leaders and women’s groups, then advertisers began abandoning the Imus program and its networks this week, pulling out the financial underpinnings from the show.

In a statement, Mr. Moonves said: “Those who have spoken with us the last few days represent people of good will from all segments of our society — all races, economic groups, men and women alike. In our meetings with concerned groups, there has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society.”

He went on to say, “That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision, as have the many e-mails, phone calls and personal discussions we have had with our colleagues across the CBS Corporation and our many other constituencies.”

The CBS decision came hours before Mr. Imus and the Rutgers basketball team met at the New Jersey governor’s mansion in Princeton. The Rutgers group at the meeting included some parents, university adminstrators, and the Rev. DeForest Soaries of the First Baptist Church in Somerset, N.J., where the Rutgers head coach, C. Vivian Stringer, is a parishioner.

At 10:50 p.m., after three hours, Mr. Imus left without commenting. The Rutgers group stayed about an hour longer. Ms. Stringer spoke for the group before leaving.

“It was a very productive meeting,” she said. “Players, coaches, parents, administrators, the pastor, and Mr. Imus were able to really dialogue. I’m extremely proud of our 10 young basketball players.”

Asked if Mr. Imus apologized, Ms. Stringer declined to answer. “We’ve said as much as we can say tonight.”

Gov. Jon S. Corzine, who had offered the mansion as a meeting site, was injured in an traffic accident and did not take part.

Neither of Mr. Imus’s employers, however, was willing to wait to see if the meeting would produce anything like a rapprochement.

CBS and NBC originally announced a two-week suspension for Mr. Imus that was to begin on Monday, but the protests increased as the week went on. They gained momentum first from a news conference by the Rutgers team and then by the recounting of previous episodes when Mr. Imus and his supporting cast engaged in racially charged banter.

Executives at NBC said the discomfort of staff members and concerns about the network’s reputation had influenced the decision to cut ties with Mr. Imus. But it was paying only a license fee to carry the show. CBS Radio and WFAN produced the show and contracted with Mr. Imus as its star.

CBS also manages Westwood One, the syndicator that has sold the Imus show to other stations around the country. Mr. Imus, 66, was among the most recognizable voices on radio, and commanded a salary estimated at $10 million a year.

With his longtime base gone, Mr. Imus may well try to turn to satellite radio. But before he can entertain such a possibility, he would presumably have to reach some accommodation with CBS. He recently signed a five-year contract extension.

Even then, it seems unlikely that he would match his current salary in a fledgling medium with a fraction of the audience of conventional radio, particularly as the two main satellite companies — Sirius and XM — try to cut costs in pursuit of a merger. Moreover, with Congress and the Federal Communications Commission reviewing that proposed deal, they may be reluctant to take on a tainted figure like Mr. Imus, who would stir controversy among the regulators who must approve the merger.

That said, the chief executive of Sirius, Mel Karmazin, is a longtime friend of Mr. Imus and was for many years his boss at Infinity Broadcasting, which later merged with CBS. A Sirius spokesman did not immediately return a call last night seeking comment. An XM spokesman said he had no comment.

The CBS action on Mr. Imus came on an extraordinary day. For four and a half hours yesterday morning, he turned his radio program into a live fund-raiser for three charities — two benefiting children with cancer, and the other related to sudden infant death syndrome — an endeavor he has undertaken each of the last 18 years.

Among the guests were children and parents who had been beneficiaries of his efforts — particularly the Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids With Cancer, a program that the host founded at his New Mexico ranch along with his wife, Deirdre.

Through the broadcast, though, Mr. Imus continually referred to the perilous predicament he was in.

He strongly suggested, for example, that he believed that his long career on conventional radio, at least, was drawing to a close, which gave the broadcast something of a funereal atmosphere.

“This may or not be our final radiothon,” he said, just before 6 a.m. “But let’s say for the sake of being safe that it is.”

At several points, he lashed out at the “hypocrisy” in media coverage of the fallout from his remark.

He also expressed bitterness that MSNBC had “pulled the plug” on televising his program less than 12 hours before the fund-raiser was to begin. “They got their pound of flesh,” he said.

At the same time, Mr. Imus also acknowledged that, ultimately, he alone was to blame for his predicament. “I said a stupid, idiotic thing that hurt these kids,” he said of the Rutgers players. “If I hadn’t have said it, we wouldn’t be here.”

As he left his studio in Secaucus, N.J., at midmorning yesterday, the house band he hired for the fund-raiser, led by Levon Helm, serenaded him with “Hail to the Chief.”

The radiothon, which continued throughout the day and was to conclude at 10 a.m. Friday, had brought pledges in excess of $1.6 million by 6 p.m. yesterday. In a sign that the attention swirling around Mr. Imus might have actually helped the fund-raiser, donations were running substantially higher than at the same point in previous years, WFAN said.

In a memo sent to CBS employees announcing Mr. Imus’s dismissal, Mr. Moonves said: “This is about a lot more than Imus. As has been widely pointed out, Imus has been visited by presidents, senators, important authors and journalists from across the political spectrum. He has flourished in a culture that permits a certain level of objectionable expression that hurts and demeans a wide range of people. In taking him off the air, I believe we take an important and necessary step not just in solving a unique problem, but in changing that culture, which extends far beyond the walls of our company.”

With Mr. Imus now gone from their lineup, CBS Radio and WFAN were under pressure yesterday to find someone to replace him. At least temporarily, WFAN planned to install “Mike and the Mad Dog,” a sports talk show, in the morning hours that Mr. Imus had occupied, according to a company executive.

But the prospect of such added responsibilities did not stop the two hosts — Mike Francesa and Christopher Russo (the “Mad Dog”) — from blistering their employer, CBS Radio, for cutting ties to Mr. Imus in the midst of the fund-raiser.

“They should know better,” Mr. Russo said on the air. “A sophomore in college handles this better.”

Here is my opinion on the matter:

I don't think Don Imus should have even gotten in trouble. I personally am not racist in one bit nor sexist but I don't think so much fuss should have been made over something like this. Don Imus has always been extremely vulgar on his show if anyone has ever seen it and saying something racist is nothing new for him. I don't believe anything would have happened if the press had not picked up on it and made such a big deal about it. Everyday shows such as The Chappelle Show (good show...) and Mind of Mencia (also good show) make much more racist and sexist jokes than Don Imus's "Nappy Headed Ho's" remark on the 10 basketball players.

Don Imus was fired from both of his jobs and that short little remark has really ruined his life. Maybe he shouldn't have said it but if people had just let it go I dont believe anything would have changed. Don Imus would have continued doing his show and the players would have continued winning without any disturbance.

I would like to know what everyone else thinks about this subject so please vote!
