Yeah, I can't play any game that's mouse-intensive with a trackpad. It just doesn't work.
Remember when AVG was good? Now it's just a greedy, memory eating bastard.
Well It looks like I found a way to get free good sound in my thunderbird without rattling the door panels out. I'll seriously be doing this soon.
Presumably because it was assumed that American audiences might not know where the North Sea was, this action caper was retitled ffolkes for the US market. In view of the age of the stars, they might have gone the whole hog and titled it Old Ffolkes Home. Roger Moore is the frogman hero, James Mason is an admiral and Anthony Perkins is, as usual, demented and planning to hijack a North Sea oil rig. It's sub-Bond, sub-Frederick Forsyth, even sub-Alistair MacLean, and tailored to the UK market by cashing in on Britain's oil bonanza and by casting Faith Brook as the resident of 10 Downing Street. In a word, ffeeble.
Moore once said in an interview that he preferred this film to all the James Bond movies he had starred in.
Sometimes when I download an episode of some tv series or something, the downloaded archive contains ~30 smaller split rar files and these contain the avi file. What reason is there to do this? Compressing an already compressed file is no good because it'll end up being almost the same size. Error-correction-wise it's useless because you need all the smaller rar files to be intact to extract the avi and you can't download only one of the smaller ones, only the whole big rar. So what's the point? Someone sitting in front of his pc going "yo dawg, we herd you like archives, so we put archives in your archives so you can decompress while you decompress..."?
