The Day After Yesterday.
Yesterday I went and saw The Day After Tomorrow with some mates. And apart from lack of much story, some poorly created CGI wolves and crappy looking CGI city related scenes; it was a good movie.
It's ok if you leave your brain in the car for this one, you won't miss much. Just sit back and enjoy the ride really. You get to form a small relationship with a few different characters, and just as you're getting into it, POW! Dead character.
To be honest, I never felt that the movie really ended. The whole time in the movie I kept having the feeling that the storms and bad weather were the build up to the story, when really they WERE the story. While i'm not sure if a humerous approach to some scenes was intended, some small parts did make you laugh.
In conclusion, I give it a rating of 3 stars (out of 5).

Seriously cool shit.
Ok cool people; I have something pretty cool to show you.
It's a video recorded by the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) satellite.
Basically it's a video of a solar flare on the sun, it's pretty cool and looks sort of futuristic because of the filters used, and the way the flare distorts the screen when it happens.
The video looks better when you enlarge it a bit, so you can see the flare properly, and get maximum coolness from it.

Oprah's Pop Star Challenge!
I was sitting at home today watching TV, and awaiting my doom (work).
And to a lame surprise, Oprah has setup her own Pop Star crap like American Idol.
Basically it's an American Idol for pussies. The judges are pussies, and despite having Simon Cowell on the panel of judges, he seems to have also pussied up a lot. He no longer seems to deliver the same heart breaking and dream destorying comments that we've come to enjoy in the Idol series.
Maybe it was the will of the God's to be created; but this show was the most bullshit thing i've ever watched. Considering that it was made in Febuary, and the fact that we've never heard of anyone famous coming from it. Speaks for itself.

Do's and Dont's of asking questions on PSC pro forum.
As a 'pro' (moderator) on the Planet Source Code discussion forums, it is my job to heed the call of other programmers when they post questions.
However, I have a few tips on how to ask your questions and receive a timely response (or any response at all).
DO start your question like.
Dear respected sir.
I get starting lines like that sometimes, and it makes me feel respected and I will read on to their question.
DON'T start your question with.
hey fuckerrrs
When receiving an opening line like this in my email, I don't even bother to read on.
DO end your question like.
Thank you in advance.
This makes the time I have taken to read the email feel valued, and I will then proceed to help the person.
DON'T end your question with.
i need this done now pls
It's not your right to tell us when it gets done, or even if we want to help you with your problem. Let alone telling us to get it done now.
DO ask for source code like.
I'm needing some help developing code to read from a scanner, if you could provide me with an OCX and possibly some steps on how to use it I would appreciate it.
Not a problem friend.
DON'T ask for source code like.
i want a source code for ocx which can open any type of scanners and steps to use it my mail is xxxx@hotmail.com
You 'want' source code, we all 'want' things but if you ask politely you may get them. Also correct grammar or punctuation is also a help. Don't think that just by asking for code, we will give it to you.
DO explain your questions properly.
I have made a chat system that uses multiple winsocks for each user, but i'm not sure how to 'kick' a user. Should I use the Winsock.Close function?
This way we understand exactly what your doing, and how your program works.
DON'T ask your questions like.
how can i ban And kick people from my chat? i think it''s WS().close but it aint workin so how can i kick?
I have no idea how your program works, or exactly what you want. You need to specify.
These are just a couple of things that may help you next time you're posting a question.
