    Coldplay's Alleged Plagiarism Was A 'Dagger Through My Heart,' Joe Satriani Says; Chris Martin Denies Wrongdoing

    I wonder if Bob Dylan ever wrote a song that used the same chords?

    Would you buy a computer from this guy?

    Brick & Mortar movie rental places are so complete fugged.

    Bite me. You want to stand in line 20 minutes while somebody surfs every available title, then say F it, I'll go get my groceries and hit it on the way back, only to find 3 more people in line at a SINGLE kiosk all surfing leisurely through every available title? All I wanted to do was...

    Coldplay's Alleged Plagiarism Was A 'Dagger Through My Heart,' Joe Satriani Says; Chris Martin Denies Wrongdoing

    I just listened to the entire Joe version - there's no basis for a lawsuit, there's maybe 20 seconds that sound similar, but they didn't rip off his stupid guitar solo song.

    Brick & Mortar movie rental places are so complete fugged.

    I'd rather walk/bike a block down to my blockbuster than worry about the internet going out, or bandwidth limitations, or the image quality delivered over such a line. And Red Box is annoying as crap, as there's ONE kiosk and a line of at least 5 people with each person SHUFFLING THROUGH...

    Any fast food places do garlic fries?

    Not saying I don't like it, but just make some at home and stay away from fastfood.

    Any fast food places do garlic fries?

    Might as well call them fart fries. The rest of the food messes you up enough, no reason to add GARLIC.

    Coldplay's Alleged Plagiarism Was A 'Dagger Through My Heart,' Joe Satriani Says; Chris Martin Denies Wrongdoing

    It was not conscious. I'm pretty sure Coldplay doesn't listen to Satriani, ever, hell, almost nobody does anymore, unless you're an outdated guitar nerd or something... Anyways, what it all comes down to is nothing is original anymore, remember the news stories about Tom Petty suing RHCP...

    What is the best movie to show off your new Big TV?

    Not really a movie, but the Discovery: Planet Earth BluRays are probably some of the best images you can display. I would go with Gladiator fight scenes... Or Sahara. Not a great movie by any means, but incredible cinematography.

    **Official New Xbox Experience Thread** - Poll Added

    Nevermind. I got it, the Netflix site explains it a bit more clear; "This is available to Netflix members who are also Xbox LIVE Gold members for no additional Netflix fee."

    **Official New Xbox Experience Thread** - Poll Added

    So I thought that Gold members get 12,000 Netflix movies to stream for free? But now I have to give Netflix my credit card # and it's only a 2 week trial? I am getting mixed messages here... "Netflix announced today that its streaming movies and TV service would be debuting at no additional...

    Fable 2 DLC?

    Fable 2

    Anybody think this was extremely short? By the time I got everything leveled up and bought every property in the game, I started the final quest and was done in 30 minutes. This game was a huge letdown.

    Best way to destroy a harddrive's data in about 30 seconds?

    From what I've read on this so far, I'd say drill some quick holes, run it under the faucet, then toss it in the microwave.

    Going to see Iced Earth tonight Update: Back... got to meet the band! Sweet!

    I tried to get into them as well, but as someone already said, it was really cheesy - just sounded old. And no, it's not dragon metal.

    Windows re-install on old Dell

    I tried 2 other optical drives thinking the drive might be bad, but it's the same. And I swapped out all internal cables as well. I will run the diagnostics tonight and check the partition on the Dell HDD. Thanks for the advice.

    Windows re-install on old Dell

    I've gone through the same thing about 3 times now. It always formats, asks for reboot, then just sits there - I'm thinking of trying another HDD.

    ***Official Gears of War 2 thread***

    I've been playing since Friday morning. Haven't finished it yet because I keep starting over with different friends at different difficulties - so far this game is exceeding my expectations greatly. Though on Normal, it's way way too easy.

    Windows re-install on old Dell

    My mother's PC recently crashed and during the recovery/repair process, she somehow wiped the HDD clean. So I brought it home to re-install Windows XP. I set boot sequence to CD-ROM first, put my install disc in and reboot. Takes forever, but I eventually get to the Windows set-up, I do the...

    Sears changed oil and forgot to close hood

    If I had a driveway, a convenient place to dump oil, the tools, and the time, I would. But the local shop will do it in 10 minutes for $30. So why would I waste my own time doing it myself anyways. ...

    Chris Farley? Forgets to take oil can out of engine compartment, hood flys up on highway, they fight, then go to a prehistoric forest? ...well that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it happen...

    Sears changed oil and forgot to close hood

    I've seen 2 cars on 66 in the last couple months have their hoods fly up at 60+ mph. Seems to be happening more and more these days... Or maybe they're paying homage to Tommy Boy.
