  1. What Windows OS are you using? I have XP, just go to All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore From there, it should give you a calendar of dates to choose, from. See you can manually pick your own dates, but if you don't the program automatically picks days every so often. Just make sure the day you pick was before all the trouble started, and click "Restore" The system basically reboots and you should be as good as new.
  2. Do you have a system restore program? You can restore your computer's settings back to any day before you deleted the driver/file/program you need. When I downloaded the new Winamp, it seriously fucked my audio up. It was literally giving me all sorts of errors when I tried to play audio, and telling me to reboot. After about 5 minutes of that headache, I just did a system restore to the day before I downloaded the new winamp, and everything was back to normal.
  3. Maybe it has to do with the fans interest in the return of DX being mostly about the chance to again yell "Suck it" in unison with other fans. Other then that, they seem to care-less. Also with Cena, they are trying their damndest to get him over as a sympathetic face, I mean do you hear Jim Ross during Cena matches, all he ever says is how much Cena keeps getting screwed out of this and that. I mean the sheer absurdity of claming Cena got screwed during a Triple Threat Match is fantastic.
  4. Was it me or did the mention of The President of the United States get the most heel heat of the night? Way to go Dubya.
  5. I am sure that is part of it as well.
  6. Well, honestly, who in the hell wants to pay for a 1 hour show with a dark match or two? I am assuming ECW tickets are roughly the same price as Raw and Smackdown tickets. At least when ECW/Smackdown are taped together you are getting a solid 3 hour show plus a bonus match or two. This is yet another logical reason for ECW to get it's own tapings and tape multiple weeks at one time. Of course with Vince, constantly wanting to change things every thirty seconds, it is a hard sell.
  7. Those of us West Coasters with Satellite are lucky enough to get the live feed~!
  8. Wasn't there a study done that the Majority of Wal-Mart shoppers are basically going there for a certain item or two. They don't just go there to do all their shopping.
  9. Oh yeah, Lohan is playing a Porn Star, but not doing Nudity: PASS! Not quite as bad as a PG-13 Slasher film, but still lame as fuck.
  10. Probably because he still looks like the kid from Growing Pains. Well it's also more then his look, it is his voice, to me when he tries to takes these "tough guy" roles, the deliver of his lines seems so forced, his natural voice is kind of whiny sounding when he yells or gets loud, so when he has to do the NY accent or some tough guy stuff it just sounds artificial.
  11. "Orton Knows Best".......how to lower the Ratings.
  12. Scorcese's Dicaprio love-fest continues. I just can't buy that guy as the "bad-ass" he keep being casted as. A shame too, because he was seemingly a hot young talent when he was younger, but he never seemed to grow into a guy who properly fit these adult roles.
  13. [self-gloss] I had front row ringside tix to Raw, and it ended up being the Raw where Michael Modest got his WWE tryout, and it was featured in Beyond the Mat....yes I am in Beyond the Mat....for a second or so!!!!!!!!!!! [/self=gloss]
  14. Exactly. I think what happens in a lot of these small towns where Wal-Mart puts places out of business, is that for years they were the only game in town, got complacent, and then when Wal-Mart came in with better prices or even *gasp* better service, the small business was forced to close because of their own complacency. Ok we can all bask in Wal-Mart's low low everyday prices, but good service is certainly something I don't think anyone can say they have.
  15. Not yet. I mean because if you look at the contrast in style of the Raw preview and the ECW preview, it's nice to at least see that the selling point of the ECW show seems to be that there are four matches booked for a 1 hour show, while Raw it is a bunch of silliness and drivel before you actually get to the part about matches.
  16. I wouldn't say D-X was a knockoff perse, because they weren't there to "take over" anything, and they didn't keep growing to include over 10 members, however you could definately say D-X was a bi-product of the "attitude" of nWo and the brashness of ECW. I think that is why basically the nWo and DX can't work again like they did before, not just because of the age of the wrestlers involved, but those were definatel time capsule gimmicks.
  17. It was El Barto.
  18. Does Raw even have four matches?
  19. Vince already ruined and buried nWo, after they had been dead and forgotten about in the first place.
  20. I think what folks need to remember is that in WWE, house shows are treated as nothing more then warm-ups/tune-ups for the Bigger shows. So you shouldn't expect WWECW shows to be any different. In the original ECW, they used the actual house shows for the TV show, no matter where they were and how small/big the crowd was, so every show had to be "exciting"
  21. Or you just raise the minimum fucking wage for the entire fucking area. Aren't Mom & Pop's Video store pushing the same thing onto the state since they generally don't offer health insurance either? Hell fucking yes. Right, except Mom & Pop stores usually employ 1-2 people to help during the "busy days" of the week, usually teenagers, if not members of their own families. I know here in California they tried to pass a mandatory Health Benefits clause for any business that employed 100 or more people. I am pretty sure most Mom & Pop stores would not qualify.
  22. Screw the haters, this is going to be the shit.
  23. I haven't smoked weed in about two years. I didn't "quit" but I just stopped doing it and haven't done it. Sometimes when I am drinking, I kind of wish a bowl was sitting around to smoke, just because I used to do it the most when I was drinking because it was a nice contrast to the buzzed/drunk feeling. And as far as bragging about it, I am willing to be just as many people brag about how drunk they are/how much they can drink/how they are the king of the beer bong etc..Seriously, there are idiots who brag about things, and there are people who don't, it's not WHAT they are bragging about, it is the bragging itself, they would probably be bragging about something else, if it wasn't weed.
  24. Local Sportstalk station Air America - sometimes, depending on what they are talking about Thom Hartmann - everyday Michael Savage - for comedic purposes Dr. Laura - her callers make me laugh
