It's probably not the actual song that is copyrighted but the orchestra who did did the song that is. They can copyright their rendition of the 1812 Overture and sell it.

In order to fix that I would say you would have to format and reinstall WinXP. If you can get Win7 I would just go ahead and install that. Though it's very odd to have IE start with Opera. It might be because explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe are interrelated so if you are having trouble with one the other will act up. Who knows. :/

Two days catch up...
Sorry if I missed anyone. I really don't want to double check, I just want to get my PC back up running like it is supposed to. Still quite a long way to go it seems. :/

Maybe. Or they kidnapped themselves in some sort of foreplay...

I pray for your sake that it is not The Simpsons :P

And what if I would buy Simpsons before Futurama?

Two words for you - Mega Flare. Bahamut's going to go completely ape shit.

But why do I get mega flare'd if I simply buy some season of the Simpsons before I buy some of Futurama? That's pretty Nazi-like to force your opinion on me in such a cruel way. :P

Oh yeah, I always wanted to make such a Nazi comparison here on NG, and now I've finally made it! XD

Currently I own exactly as much seasons of The Simpsons as I own of Futurama. Zero. -.-

You've saved yourself there then :P

*phew*, no mega flare'd Haggard for the time being.

That's strange. Someone else has your 'recreational material'

If you get aroused by the Commercial code, you must be a very strange person. :P

Not me personally, but you know these internet types. Shady characters that get aroused by the mundane, ridiculous and unthinkable, who take pains to tell anyone willing to listen, even giving video evidence sometimes.

Whoever gets aroused by officialese should be shot. Really.

In the face. With a selection of rusty kitchen utensils, fired from a catapult at close range.

At VERY close range.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO!!!!!

But why? I like Simpsons. And I like Futurama (yeah, I didn't stop watching it because I didn't like it, it was just a matter of TV stations not showing it for some time and then I never really got back into it).

At 11/19/09 11:05 AM, Bahamut wrote: NO! There's nothing more than that and dragons. :P

Well, but then there's Futurama, Porn and dragons, so that's more than Futurama and porn, right? :P

Point taken but there's nothing more than dragon porn in Futurama. :P Too bad they've not covered that idea in the show, lol.

Maybe you should give em a hint then? -.-

Goddamn, what did you ask for?

Well... how about: Nothing? I only get money for christmas for quite a few years now. Then I buy the presents myself. It's much more relaxing for my parents and me. XD

Heh, and I'm thinking of asking for jack shit for Christmas because I hate Christmas. Fucking commercialised bullshit.

Commercialised bullshit or not, commercialization can't deter me from celebrating christmas with my family. They way we celebrated it for my whole life.

YES! However, I will say one thing about them: Joey DeMaio is a prick these days!

Actually, he's a prick all the time.

Nope, it's only been more recent.

Maybe he's been even more of a prick recent, but he definitely was a prick before as well.

Then check the goddamn channel!

Still too lazy. Also, I won't check the channel as long as you don't finish your 100th flash. :P

But checking the channel won't take long while my 100th flash will. :(

If you wheren't so goddamn lazy then it wouldn't take you so long. :P

CHAINSAW! :D

DAMN RIGHT! I wanted to reach that level since the redisign came.

Okay, I can start that manually, but it sucks. Also, if I try to start opera, windows starts the Internet Explorer instead! O_O And the IE immediatly closes down with an error message.

What the hell? :O Microsoft must be playing tricks on you! If I ever got IE instead of Opera, I'd scream.

Yeah, that's what I did. Firefox was of no help either. It kept crashing on random sites.

That's what I did. First time in years I had to do that. :/

If you can get Win7 I would just go ahead and install that.

Yeah, but I need at least 30GB disk space, but the parition I have for my system is only 10GB big (it's enough for XP). So Win 7 has to wait until I buy a new HD. I don't want to mess around with the partitions, it's pretty easy to fuck up the partition table by doing so and then all my files would be lost.

Though it's very odd to have IE start with Opera. It might be because explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe are interrelated so if you are having trouble with one the other will act up. Who knows. :/

I really don't know what went wrong there. I was able to start Firefox, but it kept crashing on random sites.

OK. :) BTW, I recommend ordering from the USA - have them sent to a friend there and have him/her pass them on to you. They're much less expensive there (85 USD, compared to e.g. 105 EUR in Germany), so if yo can, it'll definitely pay to do this.

Damn, I wish I'd known about 2-3 weeks ago. My girlfriend's Grandma was in Houston, seeing her son and his family. I'd have got it mailed to them and solved a problem.

Am I supposed to feel this dejected when someone else quotes Futurama at me?

Nawww. :)

Ok, I won't take it to heart then.

Coop83: Top 25 BP - Better luck next time ;)

Fffffffffffffffffffffff!

That's like my best friend's sister - she had about 6 hours a week of lectures during the entire first year. When I was at Uni, I had 40-45 hour weeks, that started at 7am daily, otherwise I'd miss the bus >:(

Normally it's similar here. The last couple of periods I had 32-36 hour weeks while the max study time per week was supposed to be 40 hours. The number of hours you missed with the lectures you had to compensate with doing homework until it adds up to 40. The only problem with that idea/system is that the more hours of lectures you have, the more homework you usually have =/ Thus I would always go well over those 40 hours if I actually did my homework.

Well, the problem was that the lab work (i.e. the fun stuff) didn't make any sense if you didn't attend the lectures. This was a balancing act that I failed at.

Anyway now I still got 16 hour weeks, but to be honest I skip quite a lot of lectures :p

Yeah, we used to skip most of the afternoon lectures, because we slept through them. Drinking at lunch was one of the worst things we could have done, but you live and learn, I suppose.

I haven't really voted much at all since I created this account but in the last 2 weeks I've been voting on as many new submissions as I can and I've gotten from about 450 to 800, is that a good rate?

Well, you'll gain your 10 experience per day for that, which will improve your weapon. Moving up 350 points in 2 weeks isn't bad. You'll gain ranks reasonably quickly that way, so keep it up.

Wait what? O_o

Michael Jackson bought the rights to the Beatles music back in the 80s. He then did a cover of Come Together - one of the very few songs that sound better as a cover version than the original one. (The other being Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson)

No, make them fear for their lives, before they are actually killed. Half a mile, perhaps. That should give them a change to pray for death, before the impact ;)

Anyone can do it, so long as they do a good job - Every 1,000 Points (Except total stats, which is 10k); Levels above 9, plus B/P ranks above Private and so forth. Any questions, just look at other lists for pointers or just ask us.
