Oh man! Sorry guyverfan. Now I feel really guilty for asking this.

Naruhodo.... Dancing Queen by Girls Generation which is essentially a remake of Mercy by Duffy.

Thanks, but alas, that is the Hong Kong version of the VDF and somewhat omitted all of names with the exception of Yoshiki Takaya. In it's place the put the names of those responsible in converting the book to Hong Kong Version.

Even if I zoomed in, it's still unreadable. There is no way for me to translate the credits if I can see clearly what's written. Well, since it's just the credits I guess nobody is bothered that much that that is the only portion left of the whole book left untranslated. Well, aside from the ads that is, but I'd be crazy to translate all those as well.

Man, you're really cautious. Have you been hacked badly before or something? My wife's desktop got hacked really bad or got infected by some virus,trojan,malware etc and scrambled her windows and you couldn't read anything or click on anything. Well nothing of the sort. It's just my nature to be paranoid. As for the anti-virus, that is all good and well provided you have a top notch PC that can guzzle lot's of memory. But for a PC like mine that is almost a decade old, I prefer to do without it. As I mentioned, I don't have any anti-virus. I chose where I surf and because my PC will be bogged down to a crawl if I have any more application hogging my RAM. My PC only has 1GB ram. It's funny too because it turns out that my phone is much more powerful than my desktop. Besides, I'm not worried about trojans/worms because I know my PC well enough. Anything that I do not recognize in the running processes of my Task Manager, I delete, eliminating the chance of that trojan spreading. And I don't simply delete the file, I also edit my registry to remove any traces of that trojan.

There is one other thing that I always do. Never use the same password twice. I have different accounts in different sites and I use different passwords for all of them. This measure keeps it harder for hackers to hack into your accounts, since one account may contain information about another of your account. It may be difficult to remember all those passwords, but at least one account will not compromise the other accounts. I have 7 different email accounts and all of them have different passwords.

So, how did everyone find the first episode of season 4? We just had the first episode aired last night in our territory, so those complaining that we get the movies early on, this is the trade-off we had to endure as HBO airs a week late in our territory.

I think that all the major websites have already made corrective measures to prevent further vulnerabilities of this exploit. It is recommended that you change your password once you have verified that the website you are using have already patched their software.

Clearer image yes, but the parts near the spine are unreadable / blurred. I just feel that we need closure on this, and that final credits page is the one itch that can't be scratched.

Weather: how is it in your area, etc, etc...
durendal replied to Chernaudi's topic in General 'whatever'.
Summer started here and it's fricking hot. Temperature goes up as high as 38°C (100°F). If you leave your car under the sun the whole day, you can literally cook an egg on your hood at 3PM. -
What's for dinner? Literally, sort of...food discussion.
durendal replied to Chernaudi's topic in General 'whatever'.
I think that information is greatly exaggerated. Unless you leave it in room temperature for long periods of time, which any food will spoil and give you food poisoning. Always store food properly and best if kept refrigerated. The bacteria you are talking about are usually the result of improper storage of rice, usually when left in room temperature after long periods of time, similar to how molds grow in bread. Besides, you will know that the rice is spoiled when it releases a certain odor. What we usually do is cook rice in the evening, and if we weren't able to finish it, we refrigerate it and cook is as fried rice the next day for lunch. As for tuna spread, we have a different recipe. It involves mayonaise and tuna chunks only. Tuna chunks can be substituted for shredded Chicken meat. Add some salt and pepper for flavoring. Add a layer of fine lettuce in a bread and you have a nice chicken or tuna sandwich. -
Anime you are currently watching and/or Downloading

Broken Blade. It's an old anime but it's still good. Just finished all 6 movie episodes and I hear that they are re-releasing this as a TV series. -
Captain America grew up in Manhattan. So I think it is New York. As for the DC characters, to be honest, great stories come from the second tier characters. with DC's 52, you don't get to see any of the main characters like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. None of the famous characters are in it and yet it was one of DC's most successful story arcs. Even the Identity crisis, everyone was wondering who killed Sue Dibny, and I felt that it was one of the greatest execution of comics mystery, with a conclusion that nobody expected. It was simple and convincing. I do like the story of Batman. The likes of Year one, and especially the Dark Knight returns where we see and aging Batman pitted against a Superman still in his prime, yet still defeated by Batman. Stories that involve Joker are also good read, like the Killing joke. DC actually found more success in their elseworlds titles, where stories are written about the main characters that are not cannon and have no relation to the main universe. Which I think is why writers are more creative and have more leeway with the characters, thus giving us a more entertaining story.

Rice is one of the easiest meals to make. If you think you made too much, don't fear. On your next meal, just add some eggs (scrambled), carrots, peas, and if you prefer some bits and pieces of meat (we usually put diced hot dogs or sausage), fry them together (with a little bit of oil) and add a pinch of salt, and you have just created a genuine Yang Chow fried rice. The most important part about this dish is that it is necessary for the rice to be left overs, as that is the main essence of fried rice. And you only need 5 to 10 minutes to cook this. -
Well, they did officially acknowledge that Starlord and Nova were indeed dead, Peter Quill was even asked as to how he came back, but he replied with silence. It means something happened that somehow Thanos managed to get out of the cancerverse as together with Peter, but not Nova. It's a shame about Age of Ultron. I liked the concept, and was even expecting a great story line with the great build up, but the conclusion was disappointing. Don't know it that was the intended ending or they just forced it so they can incorporate Angela into their universe.

And you know what's odd, I have read both 50 shades of gray as well as the whole Twilight series. I even have the hard bound version. Anne Rice's vampire will still kick that Cullen's @$$ any time. It's not that I hated twilight, (well, I actually hated the second book) I just don't see it as a serious story. Something like a love story lite. 50 shades is not really all about BSDM. I don't know about the second and third book, but book one has some sort of "Vanilla sex". Granted Christian Gray has this peeve for S&M, he never really went full S & M on Ana, with the exception of that one time that Ana asked him how rough he can get. Oh my....

Well, for DC, they used to have a very good story compared to their rival. I enjoyed their Identity Crisis, Countdown, 52 and a lot of other story arcs. The last good event that I read was Flashpoint. After that, DC revamped the whole universe and I stopped reading. I never liked the new 52. I guess my decision has now been justified.

Wow, those must be strong stuff. Could it be possible that it confused you and made you post your update in this topic about what you are reading instead of your thread that fits perfectly to what you just posted? It's good that your medication is helping you sleep at night, I hope it doesn't have any side effects. Stay healthy.

Haha, i know exactly how you felt when it was revealed who the winter soldier is. The girls at our back even gasped, giggled and squeeled "how handsome".
-
Oh, the biggest shocker was supposed to be: Like I said, lot's of Easter eggs that are potential future storylines.
-
Not exactly, it's about this virgin girl who have the hots for this rich handsome guy, and fantasizes about him doing dirty stuffs to her. The guys has some issues, like asking a girl to sign a contract if he ever dates them. It tells the story from the girls perspective about how the guy is wooing her. The guy gives her a fricking audi.

I've heard a lot about that book. I heard they were considering making a film on it. Not considering. They are already done making it. Already at post-production last I heard. It's tentatively due February 2015. Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) was supposed to play Christian Grey, but was replaced by Jamie Dornan. If I may say, Charlie Hunnam fits a better Christian Grey than Jamie Dornan.

Fifty shades of grey. Yes I read the book. The so called mommy porn. But didn't get to read the second and third book. One is good enough for me. Didn't find much substance in the book so never bothered to read the rest. I just don't get what other women see in this book. I mean, sure, a jaw dropping handsome guy who is filthy rich wants to bang your brains out. Doesn't that make them kinda shallow?
