    Disappointing Trends in Movies

    I don't mind camera shake / jerky cameras in most movies. However, combined with certain audio and visuals it can be REALLY disturbing (as in enthralling and/or touching, not as in annoying). Good example: The dungeon/club scene in http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0290673/ I don't think it'd be the...

    Holy Crap, I didn't do a *damn* thing today!

    Sounds familiar, I have done exactly nothing today. I have been programming 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 4 weeks straight though, so I think I deserve it! :)

    What kind of music do you like?

    Is it from germany? Does it have synths? Will it scare old ladies? Does it have military march samples? Then I probably listen to it. :p Seriously, I mostly prefer harsher electronic music such as Hocico, Funker Vogt, Feindflug, Punto Omega. Throw in a few not-so-harsh groups such as VNV and...

    Rate Spielberg's War of the Worlds

    Ugh, poorly executed garbage. Have I seen this before? Icky down-the-throat family values, save-the-world characters, annoying kids, some kind of catastrophic event, travel around a country, lots of special effects? Sounds curiously familiar? Independence Day? Day after tomorrow? Armageddon...

    My first attempt at fiction.

    Nice! I'd personally change the beginning of 1.1 though, but then again I have a preference of being drawn into fantasy slowly and subtly. The demon part punched me in the face, so to say, because I didn't know what genre I was reading. :) The short sentences is comic book-like in a good way, I...

    making animated gifs

    I can recommend GIF Movie Gear: http://www.gamani.com/gmgdown.htm , free for 30 days. It's very good when working with icons so I guess it must be good at GIF's too :)

    Spam question

    There are a bunch of (old) security holes in Outlook Express that will execute attachments just by viewing the email. So this is only true for web based email services.

    So, are my English writings readable, of tolerable style?

    I think there are four different camps, divided by spelling (good or bad) and grammar (good or bad). Most non-native speakers considered fairly good in English, by local standards at least, are good at spelling but not necessarily grammar. I am in this camp, I regularly mix up the simplest...

    Jury Duty

    How does this jury thing work? Who decide / "assign" you to a specific case? Is it random or do they (whoever they are) actually go trough possible candidates? If yes, how can they know you are suited for the task and not the other guy? Do you have to attend? Thanks! / Curiously confused Pswede

    What Apple Should I Get?

    Apple is a computer brand, Windows is an operating system, so this doesn't make sense - you are comparing a Bang & Olfusen TV with Fox News! If you dislike Windows you have lots of other options such as Linux and BSD that will run on your hardware. Ubuntu is popular today. Anyhow, just wanted...

    Can you see these files? (or: Critique my music!)

    Business, the parts around 0:49 - 0:56, reminds me of the music from a Tetris clone to Sega Game Gear. Very cool. :) Piano Sonata reminds me of Tom & Jerry for god knows what reason. Of the two medieval I prefer the woodwind quintet one, no rational reason sorry. Only complaint is the low...

    Why PDF vs .doc?

    Also note microsoft word-files are proprietary and not documented, it's a closed file format. Open a doc-file in notepad, and try to make sense of it. You probably can't. That's what the actual Word program is for, to make sense of the weird data inside the doc file. Problem is, only microsoft...
