Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / PowerBook 540c
« on: October 17, 2008, 06:26:21 PM »
I got the PowerBook 540c about a year ago for 8 bucks at a local fleamarket in Michigan and it's always worked until I left it outside for the longest time in the garage during periods of warmth and cold. Now it won't turn on and I want it to, is there anything I can do to revive it  :cry:

Political Opinions / Russia vs. Georgia

In case you haven't noticed.

To sum it up; Georgia wants land, someone else defends that land, Georgia refuses to give up.
Georgia calls upon us, we tell the president to gtfo.

Or that's the way I see it.

'W' pronounced 'Dubya' is supposed to be released before Bush leaves office. Should be epic, imo. It was all over the news.

Ronald Reagan is the most overrated US president there's ever been.
Republicans give him credit for "winning the cold war", when actually it was the Russians own nuclear accident in Chernobyl and an economy that didn't work that caused the breakup of the USSR. Reagan knew full well when he stood in front of a crowd and demanded that Gorbachev tear down the wall that the wall was already being torn down...
Ronald Reagan also sold biochemical weapons to the Saudis for them to attack Iran and steal the oil fields for the multinationals... which was later used as an excuse for Bush I to invade Iran.
what's really funny about that is... that the year Reagan took office...in 1981, there was a practice national defense alert in the US. We were all told to buy black plastic and tape and seal off our windows and doors as we would as if we were under biochemical attack.. and turn our lights off on a certain night...
I was one of the few people who actually went through with all this BS...

And then Reagan goes and sells biochems to the Iraqis two years later!!!! *LOL*

He also exported satellite technology to China in 84, which is one of the main sources of technology they used to develop an ICBM...

He and his minion, Bush I, also quadrupled the national debt during twelve years in office.

Reagan also was president of the Screen Actor's Guild before he became president. He got the film "Salt of the Earth" (which is a free movie on the web now)about the new Mexico copper miner's strike in the early fifties, blacklisted as a film which was "Unamerican". He also negotiated away the rights of performers to residual payment for movies that they performed in that were still making money for the studios...

JFK: like a true democrat, he flip-flopped over the Bay of Pigs invasion and managed to fuck it up beyond all recognition. Cuba went commie and within a year or two had no less than 40 ballistic nuclear weapons under the launch command of a Soviet major (that's right, not Kruschev, not a general, a major) Many of us should consider ourselves lucky to even be alive right now. Nice goin, Jack.

Woodrow Wilson: naive and bookish; passively allowed the devious Colonel House to lead him around by his nose and get us into WWI; and let us not forget the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918.   We've had much worse presidents, but few who have received such historical accolades.

I liked Superbad as much as the next person and Knocked Up was all right, I see this movie to be great. But I could be wrong, like I was with the Forbidden Kingdom  :|

Entertainment / The Forbidden Kingdom.

You have no idea how incredibly disappointing it was. Not entertaining. Nor impressive, nor likable. The only people in the theater were old men and the handicapped. I think I spotted a transsexual in the corner. It might have had a chance at being good if it had something to do with Quentin Tarantinto. When watching, you can obviously tell that they tried to go for the 'Karate Kid look' what with the nerdy, ugly kid and all and failed miserably. Jet Lee's most embarrassing movie.

It is I, Jimmi, so you may stop worrying now. I've been here before perhaps as Magzo or Magickzomb simply as a forum troll but I'm prepared to take the plunge and stay dedicated to the forums. For a bit =/

So what's new?
