"Fido" was a pretty good movie - the concept worked (zombies in 1950s America), it was funny, and Carrie Ann Moss is still beautiful. :drool:

I'd take it. :whistle2:k

I will take it.

Wow, that's a dilemma I would never, ever have :lol:
 
[quote name='rabbitt']Suggested considered. Briefly.[/quote]

Buy a copy of the book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and then send it to me.

Or, you could buy $15 worth of Pepsi and send a can to every OTTer.

I had a mental list of about 5 things I wanted from amazon. I snagged a $15 gc from the deals/contests forum and somehow forgot everything I wanted instantaneously.

Sophie's World is one of my favorite books, and it's about philosophy, so I think it'll appeal to you.


edit: what the hell is going on with my Amazon link?

Check out the sale they're having on tv box sets, lots of things under $15.
 
This is driving me crazy... no matter how hard I try, I cannot get proper uploading in Utorrent. I want to use What.cd, but I can't upload anything right now and I am afraid I will be banned.

I was just listening to that earlier. Awesome cd.

Link works fine for me. I'll check that book out next time I'm at Border's.

What do you mean? The torrent isn't turning green in the client, or what?
 
In that "13 playing Halo with hookers" thread, I noticed some people caught on that we all had similar avatars, and then Strell proceded to slam us.

EDIT: I think it has to do with my NAT settings or my ports not being properly forwarded. Some torrents I can upload just mine on, mostly public ones, and then most of them I can't upload anything at all to. But my downloads are just fine.

But yeah, it's a fantastic book. Well worth your $15 gc.

Agreed. I don't have anything against Gnarls Barkley, but Marvin's "What's Going On?" is a legendary song...and much more deserving of an OTT topic.

corny joke =/= slam

Normally I wouldn't call it a slam, but he has a vendetta against us or something.

Night OTT. I want to get some sleep.

You can do a quick test from uTorrent to check your ports by clicking on the green check mark on the bottom (it may be yellow or red if your ports aren't forwarded properly). But you probably knew that.

Yeah, I know they are forwarded properly. However it just baffles me that one torrent will upload at like 100kb's per sec and another won't upload at all...

Strell and 3-4 other people had the Mario Bros. commercial avatars like some sort of cult. So he doesn't have any right to make fun of anyone's avatar choices.

It's pretty goddamn slick. It's mostly for show, but it does a good job of keeping most things tidy.

The interface is a lot better, but from what I understand, the back end is where the real difference lies.

TBsource (what OiNK and What used to run on) had a lot of bugs that made it unreliable and difficult to work with.

I guess they did a freeleach when Gazelle came out to try and overload the server, and it performed well, so that sounds about right.

Hope they share the love and give it to waffles, wouldn't mind checking it out.

I'm still mad I missed that. :bomb:

When we get a real free leech, I'm going to upgrade as much of my collection into FLAC as possible.

I got a plug in for Winamp off Winamp's site. Mediamonkey plays them right off the bat, I believe.

I'd really like to upgrade my stuff, since mp3s are inherently flawed due to being lossy. I'll have to get a new hard drive when the time comes though.

Is there any mp3 player that automatically plays flac without having to install custom firmware?

Can you really notice the difference in sound quality? My laptop's speakers aren't that great, so a slightly better sound quality doesn't mean much to me right now.

Rockbox is really easy to install on your Ipod. Somewhat buggy though.

[quote name='rabbitt']Can you really notice the difference in sound quality? My laptop's speakers aren't that great, so a slightly better sound quality doesn't mean much to me right now.[/QUOTE]Not really, but lossless files are more versatile than mp3s, so I can do more with them.

And who knows, maybe I'll have the spare cash and will to upgrade my sound system one of these days, so I'll want my music to be up to snuff as well.

I finished up my finals last Friday, which was a huge relief (even though they were all really easy). College is exhausting for sure, though. I'm majoring in English. You're taking some classes in the fall, right?

Yeah, starting in the fall. I'm going in with ~30 hours of credit. Gonna major in physics and math, and possibly philosophy.

I'm going to have 0 free time :lol:...:cry:

Should be a lot more fun than this high school garbage though.
