Copyright on websites + images...
Indeedio, it's just a law, so you can't violate that. But make sure you do add a couple of those copyright signs just to make sure you show people you know what you're doing. And there's also just a thin line between copyright violation and ripping tunes, just remember some of the Madonna songs that apparently ripped some guy's tune. It's not easy to prove someone's stolen one of your designs or tunes, because they can just claim they've had the same luminous idea. Anyway, good luck with the web design!

WT F? How can they screw a perfect theme like that? Can it be any more ridiculous? I read a book about the battle of Thermopylae, I've been there, I've seen documentaries about it, and yes, it was spectacular how Spartan hoplites stood firm against an army of thousands and thousands, but it wasn't that heroÃÆÃâÃâïc. The Persians, who barely had any protection and rusty blades, were underfed, they were trapped in the Greek mountains where they had to fight the best known soldiers at that time, who did not fear anything. Those Persians trampled over eachother, because in that mountainpass they all pressed forward, while the Spartans happily slaughtered the small front lines of the Persians, who did not stand a chance with their short swords vs. the hoplite spears. It could have been a great movie, but I'm afraid it will be even a lot worse than Alexander was. Why do all of those movies have to be spectacular and unrealistic?

Male vs. Female Vocals
That's what I said :) I think the warm, deep voice of a man is something that perfectly fits rock music and jazz/blues music. But a woman's voice is often a lot better in classical-ish pieces as they have to bear some kind of divinity. And if there's something divine in this world, it's women ;)

Spoilers!
There's a number of great films like that: Reservoir Dogs, like you said, but also Memento and of course the Usual Suspects, where you see everyone dying in the beginning. Yet still they are fantastic films. And I'm sure Daan will know of a bunch of other films that can be labelled like that as well. Personally, I don't mind spoilers if the film isn't a detective where everything is about the outcome. As long as the spoiler isn't too accurate, it's no big deal. The Usual Suspects would've been a lot less interesting if you knew the exact outcome already.

Marriage and Kids?
Pretty scary that you've got it all figured out already. I'd be happy with whatever gender of kids I'm going to have, as long as they'll be happy and healthy.

Weird Candy Experiences
Yeah, if something absolutely gross would be in my kellogg's in the morning, I'd probably think of doing something stupid like that as well. I don't like leeches, but if there's a dead rat in your cereals, I think one does have the right to complain and get a sum of money to compensate the pretty gross picture. But it doesn't have to be more than a hundred euros. Our silly laws can claim hundreds of millions of euros from cigarette companies but they can't sentence a murdering rapist to more than 15 years here.

A deep, philosophical question...
hehe, as long as people think you're being serious, this post can stay open IMO. It's funny to see those overreacting do-gooders :) Oh no! Has something happened to Kirby!? :( But signature disabling FTW! Oh, I meant siggy; yeah it was disabled you naughty you. What was it? Nude kirby? :ohnoes:
-
Marriage and Kids?
Ditto. Although it could be a little longer than just 5-6 years; I'm only 19 after all.

A deep, philosophical question...
Naah, they had their brains souped up thanks to our culture that makes us feel like we're capable of everything while we're actually just a few tiny dots on a bigger little blue dot. But Ghost is a very unique dot, he's the dot that thinks of all others that they're square. Apart from that silly rant; what's with your avatar Bubs?

if u could have one question answered...
You stole my question. I was going to post exactely the same thing. It was either that or 'is there life after death?' but I assume that if there's somethign spectacular behind the know universe, there must also be life after death. I guess great minds think alike, even when they're drunk. :P Who's drunk? :uhh: (I have a rep to defend Api)

Male vs. Female Vocals
Yeah, I know. It's hard to choose. But if you could only pick one to listen to for the rest of your life, what would it be? Enya, because she makes me feel that there's something beautiful in this world, even though it may be hidden in her voice. Maynard makes me feel dramatically sober and it alerts me of what's not so great. It's like taking the blue pill oor the red pill in the Matrix. Knowing the truth is Maynard, being blurred with our comfortable lives and forgetting the truth is Enya. I'd take the weak way out because I couldn't live without that bit of hope.
-
Male vs. Female Vocals
How can you possibly answer this question without being stuck in a dilemma? I love the sound of Enya's voice; it's as if you're listening to an angel. But I also adore the sound of singers like Maynard James Keenan who are absolutely thrilling when they raise their deep voice in songs like Lateralus.

Yea..So I got to see my tibia (shin bone)
Hmm, nothing truly horrid. It just seems like a deep cut. I'm used to worse because of the darkwebz freaks that tend to post the wackiest stuff.

Next Gen Bets: X360 PS3 or Wii?
I'm going with that one as well. Especially because one of my best friends works as a PR manager for Microsoft Belgium :)

Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack

BAZAM! Earthquake pictures
Latin for Beginners, hehe :) Now go and throw that TV out of the house and do not buy a new one. Living without it is a lot nicer.

What are YOU going to be for H-ween
I think I'm going to be my plain old self, because we don't celebrate Halloween. Instead, we celebrate my 20th birthday then.

Apinagez NO LONGER answers your questions
Hmm, who am I scared of? I'd surely hate to meet some psychopate, like the guy on Saw, or the Texas chainsaw massacre maniac. The person I'd absolutely want to meet is dead: Frank Zappa. Not that I'm crazy about him or anything, but he must have been quite an interesting guy to talk to. Because who you are isn't about who you really are, it's about who you seem to be. :( How about you, Oy? Hehe, I meant who would you not like to meet and who would you like to meet on this forum :) But of course, there might be psychos here... :-w :wink: Not very likely though. As for me: I'd like to meet a series of people, including yourself, but I'd really like to meet Pianofreak and Anesthesia. Anesthesia because his opinions are close to mine and because he never ceases to be mature in every single post. Piano because he's a great guy, but he thinks vastly different about the majority of rather important stuff for our current lives like large-scale politics and religion. I would not like to meer some of the ignorant kids on the forum. I'd rather just ignore them. And what you said about the way people interpret you is the way you are is absolutely true. That's what I would have answered as well.

Apinagez NO LONGER answers your questions
Who would be your worst nightmare if you were to meet him in real life of this forum? And who would you absolutely want to meet someday? Oh, and now that I'm on a roll: why do people always feel the urge to prove themselves?

Waste of money vs. best spent money
119̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã?? What the? I just returned home from Leuven, which is one hour with the train, and it usually costs me .90̢̢̮ââ¬Ã¡Ãâì... Now I forgot my student pass and had to pay 3.5̢̢̮ââ¬Ã¡Ãâì, which is already a lot IMO. But 119̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã?? That's what? 160̢̢̮ââ¬Ã¡Ãâì? My my; am I happy we have a good government here.

Waste of money vs. best spent money
I'm one of those guys that don't randomly buy stuff, but try to balance what to buy and what not. But there are things that I spent my money on that were a plain waste. Other things you buy, simply because you feel like having it, often make my day. Since I'm a music fanatic, I often spend the little bit of cash I have on CDs or collector's books and not a single penny I spent on music has been a wasted one. I've had the albums the Sophtware Slump and Under the Western Freeway from Grandaddy, Soulwax: Nite versions and 10,000 days and Lateralus from Tool for quite some time, but a copied version. I don't really feel obliged to buying all albums, but if you claim to be a fan yet don't have a single original CD from a band, you're hardly a fan at all. So I bought those 2 albums from Tool (̢̢̮ââ¬Ã¡Ãâì9.5 each only :)) to add to Aenima, which I already had. I didn't expect anything but the same great music from the albums; after all most of my CDs are just good music in a plastic package. So are 4 of the albums I bought now. But Lateralus and especially 10,000 days are not just plastic packages; they're works of Art, with a capital A. I'm not going to bother too much explaining what it is and why it's so beautiful, but I can tell you it's just as inspiring and refreshing as the music inside. So there you have it: 19 euros spent on 2 of the best albums ever made. 19 euros to refresh your life. It almost sounds like a commercial from some multinatonal that offers you sugar with bubbles. At this moment, I can't be more satisfied with my purchase. If every euro I'd spend would result in this; my life would be better than perfect. And it sure isn't. I'm rather confident a ̢̢̮ââ¬Ã¡Ãâì20,000 car won't change my life too much. But I don't need a car, yet, so the biggest waste of my money would be the hundreds of euros I spent on a gameboy when I was about 10. I never really used the thing. What are your best purchases and when did you really throw your money down the drain? Think em out carefully and learn something from it :)

Your Greatest Wish?
You are a foul, ignorant bigot. Don't insult people just because they have a different opinion to you. AIDS was started amongst homosexual men, it is a fact. They caused it so what's with all this defence of them? :roll: No it isn't. Stop posting lies. It started amongst monkeys and somehow (figure out yourself) it also affected humans. And HIV can just as well be obtained by getting a little bit of blood/plasma in a cut. So not everyone with AIDS was homosexual. And who says they are the only ones taking risks with sex? It's typical and easy to blame the weak, and that's exactely what many of you superficial nitwits do. edit: just read what Mad typed and you'll most likely understand.

Your Greatest Wish?
His wish is that people would be accepting of EVERYTHING that includes killing people.. Homosexuality is no were near harmless, aids anyone? Are you friggin kiddin me? You can get AIDS just as easily by screwing around with women. Besides, what harm did AIDS do to you so far? The only people suffering from it, are the ones that you most likely don't give a [bleep] about.
