Well, there's kinda 2 issues at stake here. One is the ads. The other is the spyware which is way worse. normal kazaa has extra software hiding in it when u install it, there's also a release clause buried in all the documentation. Basically your computer becomes their bug and sends info on all the websites u visit, when u visit them, all that stuff that marketing companies luv a) hitting u with more ads that might appeal to u onselling that info for profit c) hijacking rival sites etc. possibly the biggest invasion of privacy u can get on the internet. anyway, check out this url for more det

He means the evil adware that comes with kazaa Ocean. Adaware's great, gets most of buggers out.

Standing ur chopsticks into the rice is a practice reserved only for offering food to the dead. Which is why prolly no one in north east asia does it (dunno bout SE asia tho). Quote: go hard slipper boy! ha ha clairey u gotta be an aussie or kiwi. luv it.

let's bring this into perspective sex vs sleep vs snowboarding/skiing?

eeewwww...i just thought about the crusty toilet slippers i saw at the town hall last time i was there...

not stealing dude, "sharing"...

i totally eat more junkfood in japan. maybe cos there's always a wall of junkfood choice whenever u walk into the 7-11. hey nekobi, there's international flavours for pringles? where did u see those? mrsparkle, didn't u know? if u don't eat dark chocolate nobody will ever want to marry u. get sum men's pocky into u and save yourself sum serious social stigma ...awesum...four s starting words in a row...

a happy thread...what a good idea, props to u dumbstick, BTW, luv the name . let's just let that other thread sink to the bottom. No way anybody can post there without looking like they're sticking up for one party and bashing the other, which i'm sure is not the case. anyway... kuaiana..is that the hawaiian burger place in ochanomizu? a hamburger with monteroy jack and those fries that r impossibly crispy, man those were good. Too bad i stopped eating meat .

sorry total tangent here, hey indosnm, let me be the 2nd person on this thread to congrats u on ya kid. u're kinda at a point where i might be soon. She wants a kid soon altho i want the kid in a few years. keep us posted on how it goes. i wanna know how it feels like to have another "you" in the world.

u know this thread has a scary correlation with japan and north korea/USA and iraq. should we pre-empt the the guys we don't get along? i guess it comes down to how much of a threat they represent. i dunno what really happened so i'm not gonna pass judgement on second hand information altho i'm re-assured by most people's reluctance to resort to violence. peace out dudes

where do u guys get these awesum smileys from?

hey plucky, looks like u missed my smiley too. it's the bad thing about the internet yeh, expressions always come over as totally wack. Anyway, the reply was tongue in cheek too. I don't hate the states, donnie darko was filmed there so i can't possibly hate the states.

nah, doesn't look like it eh? not much luck trolling for a fight here plucky. maybe u should try the forum at "japan today"

at least gretchen's a decent thing to be obsessed about. I, on the other hand, keep thinking about a teenage boy who didn't get his ritalin and who else was a gay smurf.

An even greater mystery is what is batty talking about? oh yeh, thanx for the heads up ender.

hey snobofreak, one frank has a hole in his eye from where donnie shot(or stabbed?) him. I'm not going to get into which one he is tho...

talk about me being obsessed, how about ender and his "gretchen" thing?

okay, about the donnie=jesus thing. First of all, donnie sacrifices himself so that everybody else could go on living. Secondly, there's this idea the old lady puts in his head about dying alone. try to imagine it from donnie's point of view and u can see the jesusy "into your arms i commit my spirit...why have u forsaken me?" idea that god's doing an "omakase" on Donnie. Thats where i got the jesus reference from. Might be just me tho. About the living receptor - have a look at the official site. It shows sum of the pages from the "philosophy of time travel" book and it's mentioned in th

hey ender, been here in japan for 5 years. why i'm here is a long story but basically i studied japanese and my gf at that time was a j-girl. I came over for her after uni but it didn't work out and i ended up staying. ender, have u heard the song "ender will save us all" by dashboard confessional. maybe u're the next donnie darko.

you wan transpot??? bagus sekali - uhhh eye sea. Thanx for clearing that up.

i think batty's post got mixed up and sent to this topic by mistake. He's prolly wondering where the hell his post has gone. As for the movie, i think it was purposely made to be intepreted in many ways. This is what i thought. 1) in the movie, fate is pre-determined. Donnie was supposed to die on oct 2nd but Frank wakes him up and he doesn't. this is the start of the tangent universe. 2) The time limit is how much time until the universe will end. The normal universe and tangent universe can co-exist for a while. The universe is also not a perfect place and sumtimes things like th

does "bagus sekali" mean good skiing in bahai/bahasa?

definately no and like miteyak has said, being anti war does not equal being pro saddam. and also, iraq does not equal al queda does not equal bin laden. in other words, if there was a way to oust saddam and his family out of power without bombing a starved country back into another stone age, yeh, that'd be nice. As to how tho, I wish i had a decent idea.

(LOTSA SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE) I watched this film a few nights ago and my mind has been ALIVE since. it's got to be the best mind warping movie i've seen in a long time. I can't stop thinking about it. Anybody else got a theory about what happened? i went to the site www.donniedarko.com (it messes u around as well) and i've kind of formulated an idea about what happened but i wouldn't mind hearing other people's theories first. So, doozo, lemme hear ya thoughts.

this might be a bit late but here goes, IMHO, i don't think what sum of the people on this board have expressed is bigotry or racism. I would term it it "constructive criticism". As an asian australian, i find that sumtime non-asians have a "molly coddle" attitude to towards asia. it's okay to forgive and overlook certain things, cos, hey they're asians. I mean, during the bubble days, the japanese economy and way of business was touted by many japan observers to be the way of the future. on top of that, the japanese society was the poster boy(or girl) for world communities - high standar
