I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 right now. I have 2GB of RAM, an Intel Q6600 (quad-core) and an 8800GTS 640mb.
I've been hearing around that if you have the hardware, now is a good time to make the jump to Vista. Are there any major complaints about Vista still from any current users? I figure I'll make the upgrade at some point, as I'm sure the next Windows is going to be delayed anyway. Right now I've got a few games that use DirectX 10 for stuff, such as Crysis and Brothers in Arms.
And if I were to make the jump, would I be okay with getting the upgrade version of Home Premium, or should I get the full version? I like to reformat and start fresh at least once a year so I'm assuming the full version would make that easier unless I'm mistake. I've never used an upgrade version of Windows before.

This makes me sad, mostly because I think Rob Cohen is the worst director in Hollywood. Yes, even worse than Brett Ratner.

Maybe i am just blind to other great movies since i just watched it, but no other movie comes to mind right now. So if you had to choose 1 movie that tops them all what would it be?

If you can't uncompress the file, download 7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/ or I think winrar works, too.

Went out to see a movie and hit the bar with some friends tonight. Said friends decided they wanted to see The Mummy 3, so here we go:
- Luke Ford was terrible. His lines didn't fit his personality one bit and it was all around discomforting.
- Replacing the wife with a new wife (Maria Bello) was a terrible idea. It was weird and all kinds of shit.
- There were SO many corny ass lines that you simply can't take this film seriously.
Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Wow.. what an awesome book. I just blazed through it in 2 days and I can't stop thinking about it and the twist ending. If you haven't read it, please please do... before the movie comes out.
Now, should I move on to Ender's Shadow or Speaker of the Dead?

I got Doomsday on Blu-Ray. Went to play it this morning, go through the disc menu, start the movie... end up at a black screen for like 5 minutes. Finally I turn the PS3 off and restart it. Now it won't read any discs at all. :(
Anybody have a similar problem? Anything I can do short of warranty repair?

Production values look pretty fucking good for a fantasy show helmed by Xena and Hercules people. Richard seems kinda... small. I'm moderately hopeful this won't suck.

For me, Showtime is currently whipping HBO and I once thought HBO was indestructible in that department. Kudos to them, Dexter is fantastic.
Some of my friends have told me to check Battlestar Galactica (loved the old one), FireFly (not a fan of Josh "Don't call me 'Pop Culture'" Whedon, Carnival, Six Feet Under, and The Sopranos. I'm sure The Sopranos is a must and will eventually get to it.
