*YOUR* favorite movie quote.

Here's mine: "The details of my life are quite inconsequential. My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute, named Chloe, with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He made outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical—summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicals. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It’s breathtaking. I suggest you try it."

Good web hosts?

I'm in search of a good web host that has quality customer service and a long-standing tradition of not screwing up and being down for a month. I'm looking for the following features: 100MB or so of space Multiple POP3 accounts (with a catch-all system) SMTP PHP4 At least 2 MySQL databases, preferably more Perl/CGI Fast Ping Time/Response Time/Download Time/etc... Telnet Unlimited Bandwith (or at least high) Maybe multiple FTP accounts Maybe RealMedia Sub-domains Maybe ColdFusion I would like this to be around $20-$25 a month. Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks. BTW - The reason I need a new host is because my old host has been giving me no customer service and they've had my email and site offline for the past 2 days. [Edited by dcsonic2k on 09-08-2000 at 07:07 PM] __________________ why would you need 2 Mysql servers __________________ I use http://www.fripple.com , but they only have PHP 3.0.7.

Bring It On!

Finally a reviewer with some taste. ~NiceMann 'Bring It On' not worth caring, er, cheering about By Ray Huffaker Daily Evergreen (Thursday, September 7, 2000) (U-WIRE) PULLMAN, Wash. -- Kirsten Dunst, star of the new cheerleading movie "Bring It On," has been desperately trying to kill her career ever since her big break as the girl in "Interview With A Vampire." Here is a fun game for all you kids out there: Choose your favorite horrible movie that Kirsten Dunst has stared in! Is it "Jumanji?" Or maybe "Small Soldiers?" How about "Getting Over Allison," her forthcoming romantic comedy co-starring "thong tha thong thong thong"-man Sisqo? Does the fun ever stop? In keeping with the low standard set by Dunst in her previous films, "Bring It On" also is an extraordinarily bad movie. Dunst plays Torrance, captain of the cheerleading squad at her preppie, upper-class high school in suburban San Diego. The squad has won numerous national championships by stealing cheers and moves from the inner-city East Compton High Clovers squad. The movie builds bad jokes, corny dialogue and suspense, all leading up to a dramatic, all-out cheerleading war between Torrance's squad and the Clovers at the national championships. Three of the Clovers cheerleaders are played by the three members of the R&B group Blaque. Blaque is best known for their hit song "Bring It All To Me," where special guest JC of N'Sync sings, "Are you feelin' my Tims, my baggy jeans, my thug appeal?" Thug appeal? Do thugs really sing and dance in shiny outfits in McDonald's commercials? N'Sync has less thug appeal than Billy Bob Thorton, Puff Daddy and your casserole-baking, bootie-knitting, 87-year old grandmother combined. Even Christina Aguilera is more likely to pull out the ax and cut you up than N'Sync. Actually, Christina Aguilera and "Bring It On" have quite a bit in common. They both look good, but there is not much substance underneath the outer fluff. "Bring It On" was probably meant to be a scathing indictment of popularity in high school, full of wit and biting satire. Unfortunately, the movie becomes bogged down with the same mindlessness and reinforcement of teen stereotypes plaguing the movies "Bring It On" would like to spoof. Perhaps the only redeeming quality of "Bring It On," other than the fact it does not co-star Sisqo, is that most of the cheerleaders are hot. The whole movie is filled with attractive people, except for Torrance's little brother (played by Cody McMains), who is the ugliest non-gorilla to ever appear on the big screen. Thus, "Bring It On" is successful only as 98 minutes of eye candy. Shallow praise, indeed, but fitting for such a shallow movie. __________________ [cable guy]That's gonna be a good one![/cabla goola] I do have to disagree with one line in that review, Christina Aguilera, as much as I hate everything she stands for (does she stand for anything? Who cares, she's hot!), is both attractive AND has just an incredible voice. People compare her to Spears, but that voice can just get up and down the range with so little effort! Marvelous. And she's quite pulchritudinious. That'll be the new "apprise", I'm sure... __________________ oh well, sounds better than the cell __________________ Guess we know what kind of people go see movies. This movie has been numero uno for the past two weeks. . . what is the world coming to? __________________ I watched this movie the other night and it just plain sucked. It almost wasn't even worth burning the 2nd half. (Did I say that outloud?) Uh.. I mean if I had it, which I don't, it almost wouldn't be worth burning the 2nd half. __________________ you should literally burn the movie, it needs to disappear __________________ Quote: Originally posted by att you should literally burn the movie, it needs to disappear 90" __________________ Yeah, I agree. That movie is really really good. 2 thumbs up...my ass __________________ Kirsten Dunst looks hot in Maxim. Enough said. __________________ I love how the review seems to stay so focused despite that fact that the reviewer isn't even talking about the movie half the time. Wonderful. That's my style of writing. I always do that writing papers at school. Professors don't seem to appreciate it though. __________________ Contrary to what coleslaw has previously stated...Kirsten Dunst definetly does not look hot in Maxim...in fact I was quite disappointed when I looked at the cover this month...she is just plain ugly, she looks as though she fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch onthe way down, it looks as though she was hit in the face with the ugly bat (is that even a saying) wahtever, if there was such such a bat it would have most definetly hit Ms. Dunst in the face. She is not worthy of the Maxim cover, I admit her body is 'aight, but thats where it ends. Speaking of ends, that might have been an improvement, if they had her pose in every picture standing backwards.. __________________ How can you not like the pic on the cover? Or the other one where she was wearing that outfit. Man, she was quite possibly the best one since Kristy Swanson. Kirsten may be dumb, but she's up near the top of my list any day.... Blu

How many Angels can fit on the Head of a pin?

I say angels don't sit on pins :0] __________________ 9,551,445,778,415,963,856,566,475,451,415 give or take a few ;0) __________________ infinite beings at zero mass each results in zero combinational volume! __________________ You know, come to think of it, since angels are invisible, I have probably pissed on an angel and not known it! Sorry! __________________ Now that I have my brain going, I theorize that more demons could fit on the head of a pin than angels. Demons are usually associated with cold, such as the scenes in the Exorcist in which the exhaled breath of the priests and the possessed girl can be seen because of the decreased temperature in the room (colder air cannot hold as much moisture as warmer air - therefore, when you exhale in a cold room, the difference in temperatures and the differences in humidities (not relative humidities, just humidities), or dew point, forces the excess moisture into visible suspended liquid molecules). Now, relating this fact to gas laws, we know that at standard pressure, air (or any other gases for that matter) will be at a smaller volume at lower temperatures. Therefore, assuming that demons possess a given volume of air (I'm actually pulling this out of my arse), a greater number of demons could, in fact, fit on the head of a pin. Wow. I'm such a nerd.

An explantion for Got|milk's condition

http://www.notmilk.com/deb/032199.html Robert Cade, the brilliant inventor of Gatorade (Department of Medicine and Physiology, University of Florida), financed and performed a study that may very well earn him next year's Nobel Prize in Medicine. Dr. Cade and co-author, Ahongjie Sun, identified a protein in cow's milk that caused violent and abnormal behavior when given to laboratory rats. That hormone, Beta-casomorphin-7, can be found in last week's column which contained a list of 59 different bioactive hormones in each sip of milk. One minute after treating laboratory rats with this powerful milk hormone, the animals became restless and ran violently, with chattering teeth and rapid respiration. Seven minutes later, the rats became inactive with less walking, and just sat in the corners of their cages putting their heads against the side. These abnormal behaviors suggest that milk might play a role in behavioral disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. ... Just say NO...to MILK ;0) __________________ Good thing I am not a rat, eh? __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Speedfreak Good thing I am not a rat, eh?

Need opinion on Online Broker

Hi all, I'd like to ask you all about the opinion on online brokers. Which one is the best to suit a beginner? Charles Schwad is my first choice. I know the commission is high at first, but it'd be reduced once I've done enough trade. Couple of my friends use Datek for its cheap commission fee but I'd like to get as much resources as possible so I can learn. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks. __________________ i work for a broker dealer, so my opinion is biased, but if you're still interested. email me at roniman@dotplanet.com __________________ isnt' it Charles Schwab???? __________________ First off, yes it is Charles Schwab. Secondly to answer your question dodo90024. I currently use Datek and love it. Commision is a one time fee of $9.99 for each trade or sell. This is one of the cheapest for online brokerages. There is no other fees or annual membership fees. The only weakness with Datek is, if you don't know what you're doing, they don't offer much information in research wise like the bigger hitters like Etrade. But they get the job done fast. Charles Schwab would be good if you want someone to hold your hand throughout the whole process. But if you have an idea what you want to invest in, and don't need much resources in research of stocks, go with Datek. They get the job done fast. __________________ If you want cheap, I have had good experiences with Ameritrade. I absolutely abhor Etrade. __________________ I've used Etrade, Charles Schwab, and DLJdirect..but I've only had trading with etrade and schwab...etrade sucks and schwab isn't bad except for the high rate. My dad is a day trader and he likes Ameritrade and Datek. __________________ How about their internet traffic? 'cause sometimes you can't place an order due to the high volumn of people online. And about their servers stability, some said Charles Schwab's servers crash often compared with other brokers. __________________ I haven't had those kinds of traffic problems with datek. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by dodo90024 How about their internet traffic? 'cause sometimes you can't place an order due to the high volumn of people online. And about their servers stability, some said Charles Schwab's servers crash often compared with other brokers. Etrade has tons of problems with internet traffic. Nothing pisses you off more than you trying to submit an order and getting a page error. I have had no such errors with Ameritrade. __________________ I know Datek has this guarantee to execute within 30 or 60 seconds or else the commission is free. Does anyone use Charles Schwab? __________________ I use schwab...no complaints except for the high price. __________________ Can datek support trades via wireless pdas? __________________ I currently use Datek but finds that it doesn't have the feature I'm looking for. When I view my portfolio, it only shows the current price and the day's gain. It DOESN'T show my buy price. I have to dig for it. Does anybody know of a web brokerage that gives easy access to your buy price? __________________ Schwab is reliable and fast. They currently have a supercomputer center that uses the IBM SP PC604e 332 MHz with 2000 processors, with an Rmax score of 547. Meaning? It's the 19th most powerful supercomputer in the world, more powerful than most nations have (US, Germany, Japan, and the UK are the only nations with more powerful centers). Kinda impressive. Good information, good reliability, good speed, and good stable company. Trades are expensive though, so it seems to be more conductive to "long term, buy and hold" type investors. __________________ I've been using Schwab for awhile. No complaint about it. __________________ If you're serious and have a large amount to play with, use the big boys - MSDW, Waterhouse, or Schwab. If you only got a little and you want to manipulate it quickly into something big, use Datek and Etrade IPOs. The best stock for me this year has been the 50 shares of Handspring IPO I got for $16 which is now running about $90 hehe. Of course all these profits go to pay off the money I'm losing on all my other stocks. I pretty much figure Earthlink to go belly-up some time soon - stupid company has no respect for it's shareholders, and AOL - damn! More concerned with going after Microsoft than it is with brokering a good takeover. They are still paying way too much for TW. Even my heavily undervalued stocks are eating it. Look at Intel, Cypress Conductors, and Symantec for companies that have was low PEs considering their growth rate.

what's up with the new arm patches

what's the deal, how are you counting the posts i didnt spend too much time on it, but i didnt see the reasoning behind how many posts you need to get one, and why did you guys pick that over anything else ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? __________________ i think it has to do with the number of stripes on the badge __________________ Leon is putting them in now.

Personally, I think the collar devices should be included to the left of the shoulder badges as well. That would look spiffy. __________________ What....you only have 141. At least you are not an Ensign. They are just good for filling paperwork. Got to love that show JAG. ~NiceMann __________________ no dude...i dont show any band, not even 1 stripe...its screwed up....at least on my computer __________________ Ya must be on your computer....I am showing you as Lieutenant Junior Grade __________________ actaully, these are a cool idea, now we know the structure of the rewards for being post freaks. i wonder how long it'll take somone to reach the top, lately 1000 posts isnt looking so intimidating, unless a couple people finally get a life __________________ Quote: Originally posted by coleslaw So is Apex the Commander-in-Chief?

I'll give it a shot. __________________ Leon did I ever tell you how much I appreciate all the work you do for this forum. I know you have better things to do with your life, but you are a very important part of Got Apex. This place would goto hell without you. I guess I am just trying to say thanks! [hide from leon]Heck ya just like the real navy. You suck up to the boss and maybe you can move up faster in rank. [\hide from leon] We all need to show Leon our thanks! ~NiceMann __________________ This is MUCH better than those friggin coins. __________________ leutenents, captains, but no generals?

We don't have the lemons no more! __________________ I feel for you hapoo, your coins were badass. However I must admit, the new ranks are cool. __________________ Quest577: no dude...i dont show any band, not even 1 stripe...its screwed up....at least on my computer I've got the same problem. All the other levels show up but not Lt. Jr. grade. In fact they're all there on Niceman's post but I see a broken picture where mine should be. Man, it's hurting my self esteem.
