The 2nd Grindhouse I didn't find as well made as the 1st one which I agree with you on the chase scene being superb. That really, really was awesome. I loved the last scene when Mike gets a heel of a shoe in his face. Poor guy makes himself out to be pauper and pitied after he got himself shot. Great suspense on the hood too!!

decoding dna n making humans stronger is ok but making them stronger like superman is not something i liked very much .. plus they can get as hot as sun melting the shit out of anything.. they were destroying iron man's suites like plastic toys ... so u can imagine how poorly the movie was made..

Shanzai start up music. Very cool. But only 2 hours for batt life?? Wow. I just don't know what to say.
The 160 GB space is not that bad, I guess.

I've been looking for another laptop for the last little bit. I've had a look on ebay to see what's there. Some of the real
cheap ones there (discontinued one's I think is what I came across) and after doing some reviews of them, I find that they are
heavy, heat up more than some others, and what-not.
Still looking though actually I am wondering if it's possible to get a custom built laptop. I have a custom built desktop,
though do wonder if it's possible with laptops. Any ideas or thoughts??

Be prepared to pay a steep price for a quality custom built laptop. There are quite a few sites that offer custom built computers. The problem is that a lot of unscrupulous companies try to sell systems with recertified parts that may or may not work correctly.
When choosing parts for your system, make sure that the item description indicates if the part is recertified or new. Almost always the part is recertified if the description is vague and doesn’t clearly state the “condition” of the part. Some parts may be labeled as the "House Brand". Steer clear of those. If there are any doubts about something, you can call Customer Support and find out. If they don't or can't give you a satisfactory answer, take your business somewhere else. It’s a good chance that the motherboard and cpu (and maybe the ram) are new, but all bets are off for anything else. Here’s my horror story:

A few years ago I ordered a custom built desktop with all the bells and whistles from a company called Ascendtech. I personally chose every part. After a few weeks the system was a constant BSOD. All the codes indicated some type of hardware failure. It was always a different message but hardware related.
So I sent the system back for repair. After "fixing" the system, it was returned to me. Only 24 hours had passed before the BSOD’s began to reappear. To make a long story short, I replaced 4 hard drives, 2 motherboards/cpus, 16GB of ram and 2 power supplies. (mostly at their cost) The root cause of the problem was that all of the hard drives and power supplies were bad. The power supplies kept “surging”. This damaged the already bad hard drive and motherboard and ram.
For custom built laptops, my top 3 are Avadirect, Ibuypower, CyberpowerPc. Or do a Google Related search to find others. Just stay away from Ascendtech.

Very interesting to know Brian. I didn't really consider that reconditioned parts might be used. My assumption was that always new parts would be used. A good heads-up for sure.

Packard- Bell was guilty of this practice years ago in the USA. They were sued for millions of dollars and stopped selling systems in America. Acer presently owns majority stake in the company. Hopefully they will hold them to higher standards.

Hey guys, what software would you recommend for creating a form for invoice and such things? Currently I'm doing everything in Word.

**Master Razor** · 05.05.13, 15:33

Anyone knows what happened to http://forum.torrents.ro/forum.php?
It's been like this for almost two months now.

Most likely they changed the domain (I hope).

When I worked at the printer stuff company, Word is what we used. Do you have specific requirements it can't provide?

These guys take branding lightly, back in 2008 there was a Obama-brand phone with "yes, we can" in the lid

Shanzhai manufacturers are oriented more towards gadgets like mobile phones, media players and tablets. Laptops are rare, which is why I posted the video, I thought they just didn't do that sort of technology.
