Hollywood potrayals of computer usage
I don't know how to explain it, but in a lot of films and tv-shows, they use programs (mostly police) where there are several different windows just floating around, maybe someone knows what i mean, bit difficult to explain, but it looks kinda stupid. Also, i suppose CSI with their magnification of images is pretty funny.

The Metal Thread
@Omar: Forgive me if i'm [developmentally delayed]ed, are your edits the respective track? Piece of Mind is my absolute favorite album of all Maiden albums. @Sebas: At the Gates should always be mentioned. I recently listened to Brave New World album, hadn't done that for many years, and bloody hell, it's brilliant. I've had it on now, giving it a few spins the last few days. And then i remembered, god damn, i've got about 50 odd albums that i've given the same treatment, also found a couple still in their plastic encasing.

Tipit Fantasy Football 2011/12
If you need to know about injuries, i recommend this site: http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php Also, i checked my fantasy team, 12.203 in overall rank, don't know how good/bad that is tho. Btw, is there any 'tipit' league on the official site?

2011/12 Football Season
Fabregas to Barca then, just furthers my uninterest in La Liga. I like watching Villareal, but it's just too much of a two-horse race. Obviously in England you only have Chelsea and ManU the last few years, but it's a lot more exciting and a smaller gap in points etc etc. Now Wenger can't at least complain that he hasn't got any money to spend.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Gettysburg, 93. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I am gonna watch again in a couple of months, because as a non-American who hasn't read American history (all you get filled with is Hitlers escapades), it was a little bit difficult to piece it all together. Good acting and everything. I must say, what i really like is that there's no cgi (correct me if i'm wrong) and huge amount of extras besides the main actors. I don't know how to put it, but it doesn't feel as 'fake' as some modern movies. 9/10.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
They work, but f'king expensive if you want to get full up. And these bloody buses, why the hell do you have a 20min gap between the two i'm switching between in town??? ARGH! God damn fools. I'm on a good mood today.

Why aren't there any healthy fast foods? All there is, is [bleep]ing fat burger meals, pizza and kebab.

Marijuana Legalization
^Not gonna add much, i'm probably for legalization of weed. But i can't say in my view our sex-buying laws and penalties are as they should be, since in some cases people have gotten a longer jail sentence for buying sex than surprising someone on the street. That being said, i'm for it to be legalized, but i guess you always have Germany and Austria nearby.

It's fun to become a student at a university in a city where it's impossible to find anywhere to live! I checked some student-rooms at a website today, and to be on the "interest" list you have to have been registered since 2009/10 in most cases to get a chance. God damn.

England Riots
It's also stupid because I can't help but feel that most of the rioters are on benefits I love that some of the less intelligent (and this is possibly the loosest possible application of the term 'intelligent', everyone involved in prolonging these riots is a moron) have posted pictures of themselves on facebook with stuff they've stolen, like this guy: got himself a sweet-ass bag of basmati rice God damn, do they not realize Police will look there? Probably the best description of all this [cabbage] is that guy, maybe 14, trying to carry a tv bigger than himself. I just wonder what the next [bleep]ed event in the world will be.

Techy questions
Win7 64bit - 100$ Xigamtek case - 30$ WD 500gb - 43$ Asrock mobo - 55$ Gskill ddr3 1333 - 27$ XFX 450w - 55$ AMD Phenom 2 3ghz - 110$ =420$ Hd - Four more dollar than the 250gb version. Psu - a lot more than you need, but it's a good piece and a good deal, also allows you to beef up the computer a bit in the future. Cpu - Seeing as max is 500, i picked the phenom since it's a lot better than an Athlon dual core at 70$. You could squeeze in a graphics card if you wanted to, and then actually have a good gaming pc. Is the optical drive ide or sata?

What movie(s) did you last see?
Miss Nobody (2010) I liked it a lot. Funny, whitty and good acting by the lead (damn pretty). It could easily have been 10-20 min longer, the ending was a bit too quick and easy. I'd put 7 or 8 on it out of 10. The Perfect Vagina (documentary). Kinda interesting subject (plastic surgery on the vagina), but i turned off after about 10min. She who made this documentary was too anti/unbiased and only saw negatives with this subject. I really don't like documentaries who take sides, at least not as strongly as she did.

The F1 Thread 2012 Season
I started following F1 more this year since i've been able to find some decent streams @ BBC (they moved F1 to a pay channel in my country a few years ago). SKY getting F1, ugh. I love BBC's production of F1. Is there any sport in the UK, which SKY hasn't gotten their hands on?

2011/12 Football Season
All these oil-Arabs and Russians making modern football so fun. Latest i heard was PSG have/had bid for Pastore @ 45m€... Joy. The twist in the story is that it is probably a "good" thing when it comes to Malaga for Spanish football. Btw, what say you about OM's Europa shirt? http://boutique.om.net/fr_nv_fiche__Maillot-OM-Third-2011-2012-612678.html Above the sponsor it's quite ok, but below... God damn, haha.
