  1. Is anyone here planning on getting Mario Kart wii?
  2. Marvin's fine with me.
  3. Open Itunes File-Import-Select file.... EDIT: home now, ok here we go.... Open Itunes File-Import-Select the file you want to import from wherever you keep your mp3s..once it is imported into your itunes playlist, right click on the song and click "get info" then go to the options tab, in the options tab there is the start time/end time counter for you to put in. Once you input the start/stop time, click ok to close the tab with your settings saved. Then right click on the song again and select "convert file to mp3" then you will see a new copy of the song pop into the itunes playlist, which is the new abbreviated version of the song......

    HDTV

    So for blu-ray movies that are 1080p(all of them), if your TV's max is 1080i does that mean the movie is downgraded to the next matching resolution which is usually 720p?
  5. This game sounds like a lot of fun. I wasn't planning on buying another wii game until Mario Kart, but this thread is enticing me to bite the bullet and go buy it.......
  6. Me, Dangerous_A, his brother and another guy were a few tables away from Magic Johnson and his entourage at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles in Hollywood. I went to junior high with Dennis Alexio's nephew (Dennis Alexio is the real-life kickboxer that played Van Damme's brother in Kickboxer).
  7. Those are directions for a Mac, but I am pretty sure you can do them with Windows. It's a bit different using a PC, but I figured it out. Thanks again.
  8. Of course the minute the report would have been released, you would have Bill O'Reily screaming that the report is faulty in one ear, and then Sean Hannity saying "Invading Iraq was never about Al Qaeda" in the other ear.
  9. I feel bad for the next black/woman candidate to run in a future Presidential Election. They wont get the same bump as Obama/Hillary are getting just for being black/ a woman and if either of them screw up huge (a given) everyone will go "see, I told you that a black man/a woman couldnt handle the Presidency" Right, because a white protestant male just had a hell of spectacular run the last 8 years..........really.

    Boxing Thread

    The over-hyping of Peter is getting ridiculous. The guy has knockout power so he will always have a punchers chance, but how does that make him much different then Lamon Brewster? Because the heavyweight division is not swirling with talent, it will allow a lot of merely "ok" fighters stay ranked. It's not their fault, it's just that they are the best of what's out there currently. If Vitali does step down and lets Wlad/Peter happen first, I think Wlad will break down and frustrate Peter for five rounds or so, resulting in Peter getting frustrated which will then have him reverting back to his "if I swing wildly enough, maybe I will connect" style of fighter. If Oleg showed us anything, a boxer with power can punch Peter in the face at will.
  11. When I was in junior high, the high-school QB(at my eventual high school) along with a friend did an armed robber of a pizza place and killed an employee. I went to school with his little brother.
  12. I have the box set from 2003, that will do me just fine until they are released on blu-ray.....same with Star Wars....
  13. Deepest regards.
  14. Having Jonah Goldberg on period makes no sense.
  15. - I was in Beyond the Mat for a few seconds. The segment with Michael Modest getting his tryout on RAW in a dark match was at Arco Arena in Sacramento, and I had front row ringside tickets. When Modest hits his finisher and has his hand raised you can see me in an old ECW shirt. If you know what to look for it is easy to spot me. - The actual episode of RAW that they used, when it aired live I was full-on camera as they were going to a commercial break(This of course was after a WWE staff member came up to me before the show started and said my entire section was going to be angry with me because we would be blocked out from the camera because I was wearing an ECW shirt)....I can't quite remember the segment, but I am pretty sure it was an in-ring interview with Austin, Ken Shamrock, and someone else..... This was circa 1998. - I live close to Arco Arena where the Sac Kings play so I often see members in the shopping center. I saw Bibby at Rubios and Baskin Robbins. I saw Kenny Thomas at Best Buy. Vlade Divac took his kids to see The Grinch and my friend was in a row behind him. - The year the Lakers swept the Kings in the playoffs(I believe it was 2001, the year before they had the epic seven game series against each other) Me and my Wife worked graveyard shift and we got off early which on that shift meant 9:30pm. We decided to go to the 24hour IHOP for some breakfast-dinner, and Shaq was there eating. The employees barracaded and entire section for him so he wouldn't be disturbed. - When the motorcross guys came to town they were at the local Applebees afterwards and they tried to hit on my Wife's cousin. I mean they are really not even c-list so I guess this doesn't count. All I can think of for now.... EDIT: Oh yeah and I smoked out with Digital Underground on their tour bus about five years ago after they played a show at a small club in town.
  16. I remember the way people used to teach other was to draw six vertical lines about half an inch apart.(draw three, and then draw another three a half inch below the first three). Then start connecting the middle ones. Also, I remember the inner left and right of the symbol was connected diagonally... s_symbol.bmp
  17. The drama teacher at my old high school got busted for screwing a student. How he got caught? By having the nerve to just show up at her house in the middle of the day to pick her up......lol.
  18. I'd say.... Ratchet & Clank Uncharted Devil May Cry 4 Resistence Fall of Man(if you like FPS) Assassins Creed What KIND of games does your friend like to play?
  19. holy shit missed this the first time XD Its true though. If issues mattered Dubya would have been laughed out of his campaign when he said foreign policy wasn't important.
  20. Update: So I guess it is a Sprint PCS policy not to allow downloaded MP3s be used as ringtones.....I visited the store today and the guy gave me the url for a website similar to www.mobil17.com that Cartman was nice enough to post for me. I will check both sites out. So are there any hidden fees when using these websites? I mean I don't have the vision pack for Sprint, so I know I will be charged for "casual data usage" for the 10 seconds it takes to download the song file(which usually comes out to about 3 cents per song), but other then that there should be no charges from Sprints end......so no hidden fees from these websites, right?
  21. So I have a cell phone, the LG Rumor. I can download MP3s onto it and play them, but the phone won't seem to let me set them as my ringtones. One of my friends said a lot of phones won't let you set entire Mp3s as ringtones and that you have to break them down into smaller sound files that loop. Is there any free software that will let me chop my songs into smaller files so I can use them as ringtones or am I just missing an option on my phone.... HELP!!!
  22. I kinda wish the song they did that was featured in "The Departed" was in the pack.
  23. I do agree that NCLB needs to be eliminated and doesn't work, but not because it is under-funded, yet because it is a fundamentally flawed programs that forces teachers to teach students to merely pass a standardized test which is a farce in the first place considering there isn't a single "standard" for education in America. Often times schools less then five miles apart are like night and day when it comes to funding, resources, technological materials etc....
  24. Given that most of these Mexicans are crossing into a state where grown men care deeply about high school football, kidnappings and killings can only be a positive. The kidnappings are in California. Of course, thats probably even more reason to support it, right? Who would really shed a tear if California went back to Mexico? Pffft....whatever. The ol' "Who needs California" rhetoric.
  25. Republicans wanting "smaller government" should be a well known myth by now. If the last eight years have shown us anything, it is that they yearn to spend just as much as the democrats if not more, but just on different things. The Iraq War "War on Terrorism" Border Fence Missle Defense system War on Drugs(well to be fair most Dems support this atrocity too) The list could go on. Republicans basically want to cut off social programs that help people(which in some cases maybe do need reform but not termination), and in turn use that money to give tax cuts to wealthy people and raise spending in defense spending. That is not smaller government, it is just a difference in opinion on where the money should be spent.
