WTF was up with that trainwreck of an ending? The movie was really compelling and cool, then all of a sudden it turned into an overdramatic emo-fest over perhaps the most ridiculous villain motive ever invented. Locking the guy up and tricking him into him sex0ring his own daughter was pretty cool, but did he really need to cut his own tongue out at the end? And then going to see a hypnotist to forget it all? Props to the writer for being creative, I guess, but the whole thing just felt really silly by the time it finally ended. And seriously, what is up with Asian movie endings--it always seems the director is trying to beat the audience over the head with emotion. Just end it, I say!
So yeah, I'd give it a 7/10. Not the Shack's finest recommendation, but worth a watch if you like weird, emo stuff.

This morning, while walking up Battery St., I so happened to pass the Coit Furniture rental store. A gentleman in bum-form was propped against the store windows, pants and underpants down round his ankles, furiously tugging at his exposed and dreaded pubic mound. I say mound because it was so dense and matted that one could not make out balls from the mess of it.
As I hurried by, the woman walking slightly behind me tried to veer around me and ended up stumbling right into the bum. She toppled over him and he screamed "MAH WEINA MAH WEINA" over and over again as she screamed her head off.
oh.

We will meet Friday at 8 PM at Fogo de Chao (661 N. LaSalle St). I have made a reservation based on the number of people who have RSVP'd to the shackmeet event (http://www.shacknews.com/shackmeet/events.x?id=3847) or to me by shackmsg.
If you haven't signed up or haven't shackmsg'd me, you need to do that before the end of the day Wednesday while I still have a chance to bump the # of seats we reserved.

this program is perfect in every way except one. i want to be able to prioritize my seeds by arbitrary criteria.
the way it stands now, let's say i have 10 torrents to seed up to a 1.5 ratio, but i only allow 2 to be active at any one time because my upstream sucks. utorrent picks the 2 torrents with the lowest ratios and seeds them until they're not the lowest anymore, then it picks the 2 torrents lowest ratio again. theoretically, this results in all my seeds finishing up at once.
i do not want this. i want to prioritize seeding by the completed date. that way i can actually clear some shit out along the way without having to wait for single torrent to finish. as it stands now, i have to constantly monitor utorrent, stopping and starting seeds as i see fit. it's way too involved and it's annoying me.
what do i do? is there some option i'm missing? is some other torrent program good at this?

holy shit this is driving me crazy. I heard this song before, but I can't remember the name of it. I'm 90% sure it's talking heads, but I could be wrong. It's a more 'melodic' song by them, also kind of melancholy. Here's me whistling the 'melodic guitar riff' that's part of the chorus:

If you could list the values from left to right in +/- , it would be immensely useful. I have only recently began listening to DnB and i notice that certain EQ settings sound great, but i wish to know from the experts, people who live DnB.
wtf? If people bookmark their page they are not going to know wtf.

I just remember being highly annoyed for some reason that in True Crime: Streets of LA, the streets of LA were not quite so accurate. That and the highways were empty and not as complex as I wanted them. Keep in mind I do realize that game sucked and luckily it was a friends copy but it still bothered me a lot for some reason that it was advertised that I'd be in "LA" but in fact it was a bare bones recreation.

I had a version of Bulletproof FTP Server installed on my computer, and recently I uninstalled it. I just looked through my Services control panel (Windows XP Pro) and saw an instance of the BPFTP server still listed there (even though it's stopped and set to Manual.) I tried to use Regsvr32 to remove it but it won't because the path to that 'service' is an .exe file and it only removes .dll files.
How can I get remove this from the list of installed services?
