Photoshop CS4 or extended?
I guess from the advice I'm getting I'll continue the 30 day trail and just go from there. Being reminded of photoshop 7 brings me back to like 9th grade in high school when I actually did graphic art stuff, funny enough I basically quit when I got my copy of CS2.

Photoshop CS4 or extended?
I'm in the process of downloading the trial right now. Generally I like to stay pretty up to date on software, CS2 is like 3 years old now, and the new photoshops are from what I've heard run a lot smoother on intel based macs and their are a lot of smaller improvements that add up. I've only heard all this second hand though. No personal experience with the newer photoshops.

Photoshop CS4 or extended?
So I've finally decided to upgrade my photoshop from CS2, and when looking at the adobe site there are now two different versions of photoshop a regular version and an extended version. Is the only real difference the ability to work on 3d models? I'm only going to be really using photoshop for photography and rarely when I'm super bored graphic art. So would it be best to just get the regular version?

Your top five movies
I don't have a set 5 favorite movies, but I'll just name a few I've seen and liked over the past couple of year. Kingdom of Heaven - as Latinoking, said the movie is a masterpiece. Ladri di biciclette - Great movie, very simple but I'll always remember for its message Superbad - Not the best movie, but very funny. Favorite comedy from 2007. Bourne series - great series Life Aquatic & Darjeeling Limited - Wes Anderson is my favorite director. Ocean's trilogy - great movies, solid cast.

Black Friday... (Post your deals you find here)
The friday after M.L.K. day. KIDDING It's the day after Thanksgiving. Its not like the exchange rate of Canadian to U.S. is all that different, right? For a while there the Canadian dollar was quit a bit higher then the American Dollar. But usually its fairly close to even make a huge difference.

New play thing; netbook, pda or other.
personally I would go with the netbook, as that is what I'm most interested in getting tech wise.

Good Exercising Music?
That would be such a self-absorbed ego boasting song to listen to while working out. I laugh every time I think of someone working out to it.

My Band
setting up a music page on myspace takes only minutes. I've done it. I'm not a metal fan, which from this thread is what I understand your music is. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Good Exercising Music?
Well I've found that listening to indie rock bands are not the best work out music because it just doesn't getting you in the right mentality to work out. You don't want to be lifting to a band like Coldplay (just an example everyone would know). I do recall myself working out to fleet foxes and Vampire Weekend once, though. But 90% of the time its either hip-hop or electric for me.

NetFlix via NXE
So I've come to the conclusion that the feature is yet to be added. I spent a good 20-30 minutes watching youtube videos on NXE and did some google searches and came up empty handed.

Black Friday is not the cause of economic recession. In anyway it helps raither then hurts the economy.

Well I tried it out with my brothers account no more then 20mins ago and it didn't work like I thought it would. I honestly though that was one of the features that was suppose to come with NXE update, I'm a little disappointed to be honest. The feature is there, if everyone in the party has netflix then you can all watch the same video together. I honestly don't see why people thought it would be anything else. At least you get netflix too, out movie marketplace is rubbish in the UK, we have no TV shows and very few films. I couldn't get it to work. I have my netflix set up to both mine and my brothers xbox and we couldn't watch a netflix movie together. I guess I'll look more into it then.

HEROES SPOILER!!
Favorite episode of the season. I loved watching Sylar and Elle get their [wagon] handed to them when they don't have their powers. Priceless, pulls you back to reality, with out powers these people are nothing.

Angels & Demons (The Movie)
I never read any of the books, but I was pretty impressed with the Da Vinci Code. So for a sequel I'm going to expect it to be a little worse then the original but still be pretty good non the less.

Grades, GPA's; How do you do in School?
5.0? Does your school allow AP in 9th grade? And what bonus do you get for an 'A' in AP? My system barely gives us any bonus, which is why the Valedictorians only get usually a 4.3-4.6 And thats after 3 years of striaght A's in AP classes (except they usally take AP Chem and AP Bio which they get B's in) I'm guessing he's in a semester system and they haven't had grades posted to their transcripts yet.

What you do from a netflix account is go to "Your Account" then click on "Netflix Ready Device Activation" under billing and movie watching activity. Then it should be pretty easy for someone to figure out from there. On the xbox you do the netflix set up and it gives you an activation code. Once you add it to netflix, its pretty straight forward, it should say XBLIVE and a bunch of numbers. under the list of devices set up to you account. So for me I now have two xbox's listed under the active devices list.

NetFlix via NXE
I tried watching a video on my xbox with a party with my brother in the other room and I couldn't figure out how to get him to watch too. I also thought that is one of the new features.. The way the netflix is setup is by adding your xbox to neflix as a "netflix ready device". So you personally don't need a netflix account in theory you just need to add it to someones netflix account. I'll test my theory out later and add my brothers xbox to my netflix and see if we both can watch a movie in a party. edit: tried it, didn't work.

Grades, GPA's; How do you do in School?
High School I had a 2.99 GPA I kid you not. College so far I have like a 2.54 [bleep] GPA. I'm trying to get my [bleep] up to a 2.75 by the end of this year. Then hopefully I can get it up to a 3.0 before senior year.
