Quote - Tread carefully, fellow Brycers...  ;-)

Indeed, so i am not going to discuss AGW here.

But do notice that they nowadays rather like to speak about "Climate change" rather than "Globalwarming"!

And in the headlines this week, "Denver targets global warming". But do keep in mind that for the Denver temperature record of the last 12 warmest years 9 of them where before 1955 and the lastest record year was in 1994 (on the 4th place out of the 12). 1934 Still being the warmest year ever for Denver.

Its getting hotter, blame "Global warming". Errr... its actually cooling, blame "Climate change".

No matter what, it is still our fault, we should repent, bladibladibla....

Nice but dead wrong on the facts. Sorry, you can call me a denier and claim that i am in the pocket of Big Oil. An inconvenient truth or convenient lies (or rather a lot of might be's, could be's and so on)?

"And yet the earth moves" was once a dangerous thing to say.

Nice, i now know where the Arc of the Covenant is.

(just pay good attention when one of the mustangs crashes) ^___^

Jin Roh, the wolf brigade, one of the last (if not the last) traditionally made feature length animation movie. I plays in an alternative Japan in an alternative late 50ties early sixties. A young officiers struggles with himself after the death of girl, a terrorist courier (nicknamed Little red ridinghoods). He is suspended and uses that time to find out more about the dead girl, it is then when he meets her sister. He befriends her and both get dragged into the rivalries between the administration of the police and the counterterrorism commando unit 'Jin Roh' 

Nothing is who he looks likes. Jin-Roh borrows heavily and overtly from the tale of Little Red Ridinghood - the older, darker version that existed even before the Grimm brothers and certainly before it was Bowdlerized and "cleaned up".

All in all a beautifull movie, but don't watch it when in a depressed mood.

@Orbital, it was actually 72 hours, the class had been selected to play this years game of "Battle Royale", The kids are set loose on a island with the explosive collar around their necks and a random item (might be a weapon), the idea is simple, 72 hours to kill each other, the last one standing wins, not obeying rules or venturing in the forbidden zones will set off the colar. If after 72 hours 2 or more surive, everyone loses.

The manga expands a lot on the background of the students and is far more intense in gory violence and sexually graphic than the novel and film versions. The first movie had a good shock and awe level, the seccond one was utter crap in my opinion.

Spanking the monkey with 337 MPH!!!

As for that other game, about 11 seconds so far.

Can we stop with this rather pointles discussion about the Death penalty, Saddam and how he left this world.  His last words where "Muqtada al-Sadr" in a mocking tone when one of his executioners yelled "long live Muqtada al-Sadr"

You don't hear much about the four Japanese who where hung on christmasday, just like Saddam there was no doubt about the crimes comitted, but hanging a 77 year old man who was sentenced to death in 1976 and had his last appeal oveturned in 1987.

There are now 93 people on deathrow in Japan, a lot of them have their last appeal overturned as well an can be executed when the minister of justice signs the execution orders, as law decrees this has to be done within 6 months after the last appeal, the oldest on deathrow is now 95 years old and already waiting for 35 years.
Every day can be your last, they only tell you that you are going to be executed a few hours before, family and lawers are only informed after. Everything is done in secrecy to avoid questions from parlement and public.

Mmm, what's the point of that? I can tell you, there is none.

Sorry for going completely off topic.

"We'll never make it alive!
CORRECT
We'll have to abandon ship!
NO, WE WILL TAKE IT WITH US. IT'S A NICE SHIP.
...Is that you Bosun Coplei?
WOULD YOU LIKE ANOTHER GUESS?

He always has the last word ^____^

Voltaire: Now, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies.
He said this after a priest asked if he would renounce Satan.

Even try E-bay and such. A moped was stolen from a guy living in my street only to find just an hour later for auction on www.markplaats.nl (Dutch auction-site).

As for leaving valuables in your car, sadly you can't do that anymore, and even when you take them out your car its still not safe, a empty holder for your navigation system is enough for a break a window, i might that you just hid it under your seat or something like that.

Appleseed is actually Mocap + GCI, no rotoscoping whatsoever. As for Gonzo, sometimes they are brilliant and other times, well let's not mention it, its not only technique that makes up a anime.

As for Makoto Shinkai, he is definitely a name that is rising within the anime-industry.

And i won't mention my collection then ^______^

Well, no surprise there, it looks like they got their inspiration from Miazaki's "Howls moving Castle". Maybe not his best movie, but you can't blame the techniques used.

It looks so easy, a Bob Ross with a paintcan O_o,

Quote - Some people have been havng problems with Bryce starting up if the presets have not been installed. It could be because those directories are not there until the presets are installed.

Sorry. ;o(

But, worth a try to start up Bryce without the presest installed.

It does work without presets installed, but you can't do much without older scenes or B6-scenes that have been downloaded. You have to stay away from mats, atmospheres and pretty much everything else or it will result in a program crash.

Switched to Bryce 6 now, i had some problems at first (stupid installer, stupid me), but that's cleared now.
