Napster Metallica workaround

OK, I'm sure this has been posted a billion times, but every time I try to re-register with Napster I get the "banned by metallica" message. How can I work around this? I apologize since I know this is a stupid question that has been answered before but I would appreciate the help. Thx, Dealfan __________________ why did you have metallica anyway? they suck __________________ www.napigator.com __________________ IIRC, you could appeal to napster. Then Metalica would have to go after you personally with legal action. Of course, this is pretty unlikely, given that they've got napster on the ropes, and they've said they won't go after individual fans. You just inform them that you already have the albums that you downloaded song from. (Of course, don't we all?) I read this at some site the day after the banning. __________________ at least if they do, maybe you could get an autograph and sell it on ebay. That would show them!

Simultaneous Lifetimes

http://www.au.spiritweb.org/Spirit/s...e-jananda.html by jananda ...As I progressed in my spiritual growth and was given many beautiful experiences, it was astonishing for me to experience many bouts of depression and negative thoughtforms around me. I knew that when one is sensitive it is possible to feel energy from other dimension, particularly the so-called astral dimension. The astral dimension (or Kingdom if you like) is a place or state of consciousness in which human can abide between incarnations. (It is important that I also state that any being living in the astral dimension is there by his/her own choice, and it is the being's own decision to leave that state of conciousness and enter a higher and happier level in the astral dimension.)... :0) __________________ quote: Originally posted by renots: http://www.au.spiritweb.org/Spirit/s...e-jananda.html by jananda ...As I progressed in my spiritual growth and was given many beautiful experiences, it was astonishing for me to experience many bouts of depression and negative thoughtforms around me.

Movies coming out friday

if a movie isnt rated R it isnt worth seeing in the theater(unless i'm using another free movie ticket) __________________ Just so you guys know, Space Cowboys blows . The only good part of the movie is the cg. (actually, my favorite part was when they were in the cabin of the shuttle. you know how they are supposed to be floating around? well they were just walking .) Only see Space Cowboys if A. Your old, or B. You saw Thomas and the Magic Railroad... and liked it. Coyote ugly is ok. My friend seemed to like it, and from what I saw it was ok. (I didn't like how they dubbed a few scenes. they could have done that better) there's the barely clothed girls for the guys, and a women empowering plot for the womyn. quite an odd combonation. And Hollowman should be good. I only saw 2/5 of it though. (I had to call the police and hold a drunk guy down who was trying to break into the theater.) But from what I saw the special effects are great. Can't really tell you about the plot, cause I didn't get to see much of it. __________________ Man must be nice to work in a cinema. I should go get a part time job there so I can just watch the movies for free. ~NiceMann __________________ __________________ Hey Reverend Evil, I'm pretty sure you don't live in my area, but where do you work? Any good deals on movie tickets? __________________ Are you kidding me? When we were in high school, my friend used to work at the theatre. Not only did we never pay to see ANY movie (even the night before opening) throughout high school, but it extended into college. Whenever I'm home, I've yet to pay for a movie...going on 7 years now. Theatres all have passes they give out if there's a fire alarm or something...workers just palm them as they're giving them to patrons. __________________ coyote ugly looks incredibly boring- hot girls are ok but I like PLOT in a good movie... __________________ yea plot would be nice but sometimes you just feel like relaxing and laughing like Austin Powers __________________ oh yeah...comedy is cool too, of course! but this movie has NOTHING...and its PG-13 so there arent any good shots of the girls. Not my kind of movie- female empowerment cant keep me entertained for 2 hours... __________________ quote: Originally posted by AJ: oh yeah...comedy is cool too, of course! but this movie has NOTHING...and its PG-13 so there arent any good shots of the girls.

That's a let down. I dunno, they're still pretty dang hot. __________________ PG-13?? How disappointing. I hope its at least better than the Maxim article. __________________ Hey guys, just read the paper. It say's Hollowman doesn't have much of a plot. So That brings me to my theory. all movies this summer suck. can't wait till next year, there should be some good ones. tongyang, I work on the edge of the portland metro area (oregon) in forest grove (ie almost hickville). hey pennypinch, we rarely, give out those emergency passes. usually when i see someone i know, i just point to the movie and say go on in. ------------------ The Minister of Sinister __________________ quote: Originally posted by Reverend Evil: hey pennypinch, we rarely, give out those emergency passes. usually when i see someone i know, i just point to the movie and say go on in.

You are evil! Evil, Yes. even though I don't make them buy a ticket. ------------------ The Minister of Sinister __________________ Howz about that Matrix wannabe lookin movie The Cell? That looks like it might be watchable. Heard anything? __________________ The Cell? If that's the movie with Jennifer Lopez then I have only one thing to say: It's got Jennifer Lopez in it. How good can it be?!?!?! __________________ Hollow Man is good. Except they are mean to the animals. And it is realy violent...but exciting. I like those kind of movies.

To ABC's and others...

I was wondering how many ABCs know how to write and read or speak chinese? I myself know how to speak fluent Cantonese and am currently learning Mandrian and how to write. I really wished I stuck with chinese school so that I can read and write chinese right now. Just want to see how many of you know how to read/write/speak chinese if you are ABC P.S. applys to other nationalities also.

My big beef with the Chinese schools I went to were that they taught in Chinese. Well, how stupid is that? I'm in Chinese school TO LEARN CHINESE! If I spoke chinese already, why the hell would I be in chinese school! Holy crap, I musta spent like four years in Kindergarten there... __________________ quote: Originally posted by pennypinch: I am a CBC (canadian born chinese) and I can barely understand some Cantonese, but not really, and obviously speak and write none.
