Probably will be more helpful with the acclaimed "rar" I use most of the steps you mention minus the widgets. And for the dock I use Rocketdock :lol:

Happy New Year every body! Now who knows the actual words to Auld Lang Syne?

Yeah I think it's just a bit broad. Maybe narrow down your topics for the question of the week and define it a little more clearly.

That's a good point. It's actually God from Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Hmm...new Avatar. Not sure...I like the idea but the old one was pretty cool. We'll see how it goes.

How can you stand a green wall behind your computer screen lol?

Cool I'm actually going to check this out!

I was reading an article in the paper the other day that was talking about our flawed Jury system in NZ. I haven't been able to find a link to an online version of the article but it was quite interesting, a lot of picking apart the system in general. So what do you think as citizens of your respective democratic countries! Jury's around the world are fairly similar so what do you think? Should we have the fate of some people decided by their fellow *random* citizens that often have no prior knowledge of the law? Or should we have Judge-only trials. Or should we try something else completely? "Justice by the masses?" What are your thoughts?

'Twas the night before Christmas...and all through the house... no one was sleeping because they were all pigging out on lollies and cake! At least at my house anyway. Tomorrow is Christmas, unless you're in the Northern Hemisphere - in which case you can wait your turn Best wishes for the festive season to all readers from the Duke. I hope your Christmas is blessed, joyful and bliss and the New Year full of resolutions and good times that you keep! Merry Christmas to all, and to all - a goodnight!

I was asked to come up with an arrangement of the song for them. So the arrangement featured a demo recording...

I wasn't going to post this anywhere because I was never very happy with it but a friend of mine said I should so - here we go. This is an arrangement by me of the popular Christmas carol 'Feliz Navidad' by Jose Feliciano. I was asked to come up with a very simple arrangement of the song for a *band* of young teens that wanted to perform a few Christmas songs. So bear in mind when you listen to it that it was never designed to be listened to publicly. Everything's pretty rough because I did all the recording and performing myself, it's quite tricky to have to hit record, then run over to the drum kit, play the piece and then run back to the computer - and then to layer the bass, guitar and vocals on top of that. The vocals are actually slightly off in some places (which is my fault) but also I've done a bad job of mixing them because they've come out really muddy, I don't sound that bad in real life...honest! So yeah, it's pretty rough but you kinda get the idea. Merry Christmas everyone! Feliz Navidad

You're right...but: ...as the law dictates. They still are limited to the confines of the law as to whether the person is guilty or not guilty. Having to have certain evidence that can't be considered due to it breaching the law in some way or another. You could argue that if juries in general know more about the law that the sentencing would be more just "in the law's eyes". Jury's are supposed to make their decision on whether the person is guilty or not, to the law. Err, am I making sense lol? Say you're a juror and you believe that the person is guilty just because you know he is. But if after looking over all the evidence - and the evidence is nonsubstantial to what the law dictates as acceptable to convict someone, you are legally required to vote not guilty. In that sense panels of judges could be better

Lol! I love the strat style guitar hero guitar

By free do you mean like a freeware game that you can play against him from your pc on? Call of Duty 1 was cross-platform and Macs could play Win on but... guess that's not free. For a single player mac game I've got Chopper. Not too much to it but still a lot of fun and far too addicting! It is only single player though. Have a look here but yeah. Sorry I wasn't actually much help was i? :lol:

Why is this guy making music for video games? :lol:

They actually sound a lot like Aussies trying to mimick a NZ accent to me :lol:

I think it's probably the most *fair* system around because I mean, surely with a 9-12 (or whatever it is) majority of apparently *random* people has to be fairly accurate. The problem is that often it can be people's entire lives in the balance, and therefore we need to not be fairly accurate but wholly accurate. One idea offered in the article I mentioned was a panel of judges type thing. Sort of your supreme court or tribunal idea but to replace juries, have a number of judges that decide the case. I think that's not a bad idea, but everything has it's downsides.

Hm. Well it actually is....lol :lol:

Ok I know this is old but it'll be fun to see who's character comes up as what! What Colour Are You? Answer truthfully! I got Red

Hey! You're the conspiracy theorist

Exactly - it's a practical solution to piracy. Besides it's only like $20 anyway

Still only in North America Smart move by EA though.

Just...how can you be somewhat unplanned? It's either unplanned or it's not = planned. :lol:

But it's really not that hard to *crack*. And the crack's by Apple anyway...Bootcamp is a pretty easy and short time install so It basically is imo.
