  1. Guys/Gals need some help/advice here. My parents will be dropping by New York in coming weeks. I thought I could ask them do a little shopping for me. It will rather cold now right? What are some of the good places to shop( no Ave 5 pls!), and is it cheap over there? It is my parents 1st trip to States so they are rather unfamilar with that place, and the tour guide will be a relative of mine who recently moved over there. I'm looking to all stuffs, not just audio. Of course, the items must be able to cross the customs. Don't want to risk my parents for them. Thanks Augustine

    Team FireFox! The official released version coming out on the 9th Nov! It is true that e-banking work betta with IE, even most of my school websites works better with IE, the email is well, ms exchange.
  3. I already caught School Rumble 4 from wannabefansubs, although majority preferred dash fansubs. I dont see much diff, there are actually ppl going into wannabe channel to flame then, and YET download from them. I was quite suprised that it follow rather closely to the manga. How much more 'digusting' can it get? Actually thinking bout it, it was that bad. I mean, is not like hentai or what. It kinda of remind me of Akira though. edit: I see your point bout the pricing. 7800 Yen. Thats the domestic without subs. for special edition The normal is already at 48US...man...

    Since u have an Airport Express, all u need is an ethernet modem. Nifty little device!
  5. i think most prob u guys know bout it Elfen Lied(pron. leed=german for song) means Elfen Lied is actually Elf's Song. Found this when i went digging for the origin of the song, Lilium.(lilies in italian, don't google it, most prob end up with tons of florists' links) exams stress getting to me. Oh si usque edita victus sapientia et lingua deus no praetendiese Beatus vir. qui suffert tentationem Quoniam cum probatus fuerit accipiet coronam vitae Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison O Quam Sancta. Quam serena. Quam benigna. Quam amoena. O castitatis Lilium

    Basically u can't share(i'm not sure wat technical term to use) a USB adsl network. U need an ethernet modem to share the network. what sayhitojason is true too, the usb drivers are always buggy and singtel can't really do much abt it. I'm quite sure the ethernet singtel offer can be use, but i'll suggest u drop by sim lim for a better deal. I suppose u have sign up from the jet pack. BTW, do u have a wireless router?
  7. wonder if anyone is up following the election... of course i've another reason for staying up...
  8. island got virus? hmmm keep spoilers away from me! i'm done at ep 2 only. Violent yes, hentai not yet, unless tentacles start appearing Manga, think i've to d/l or wait for chinese released. if the manga is licensed too, i wonder what it is going to turn out, according to the film. Which also makes me wonder, how the hell ADV going to release this title on DVD to general public. Most prob going to butchered up the whole thing. BTW, is 13 suppose to finish up the story? MIDNITE POSTER! keke...
  9. i knoe bout the fansubs channel... bittornado work with firewall huh. gotta try, i using azureus all along. mirkx is back? great! they are much betta toykosho. Thanks. edit: Elfen is really violent. At least now i understand y the OST is so melancholy. edit(again): i tried mirkx. they are still down. i suppose is the same url, http://www.mirkx.com.nyud.net:8090/1.php. i meant it as they are still on the '13 OCT' page.
  10. i'm on an irc hunt. can't use in bittorrent in hall so got to go by other means. U can get some wonderful speed in irc. esp School Rumble in wannabe group. A bot just served me 6mb/s. just hope the rest can do the same. edit: ADV 'hunted' tokytosho torrent tracker too. All the companies really stepping up to secure their rights....
  11. d/l-ed but not yet watch. how many episodes are in there in the manga till now? ADV licsenced the anime or both? edit: whose is subbing it now? i got it off a guy in irc
  12. School Rumble follow quite closely to the manga, so is Bleach. Not too bad. But i think bleach might be licensced soon. Most prob SunaBouzu too. My assumption edit: GITS:SAC2:EP15 out!!!!go get it!
  13. Hi, can someone enlighten me on what does the 'BWV XXXx' at the end of pieces listing means? I was mainly listening, only recently then i really read the sleeves, btw, any recommendation on Orchestral suite No.3 in D Major, BWV 1068? Bach? Thanks
  14. apparently, all the crew gave up their payment.(which is shown in the list of donors, ie the hairdresser and such) she got my new found respect
  15. wonderful piece of mtv. something other artistes might want to consider. World on Fire Don't know where to put this or whether a thread has started on it. But enjoy it edit: typo
  16. The beauty of FireFox! Anyone still have the invites? I wan one also.... PLS PM ME!!!!
  17. In my line of work, part timer, at an estab IT firm(out source firm), we've encountered many customers sending in sets for repair due to SP2. Some common problems are, SP2 are simply not comapatitible with existing 3rd parties software in the system. Some are due to hardware too. M$ have a list of programes/hardwares that might have conflict with SP2. But it is not all bad. The firewall that comes with it is actually better than Norton, according to engineers in my workplace. I got this feeling that they actually rushed the patch out, since they shelved Longhorn further back. On my notebook i dont use SP2 but my desktop does. It is running fine. It has better networking support and bluetooth interface is simplier now. At least now they got generic drivers for bluetooth. These are my thoughts of SP2. If i missed/misunderstood anything pls inform me. another note: I actualli hate SP2, it does bogged down the system a little. I don't really like Windows too, but most of the IT infrastrutcture i used, ie workplace/school, more tend to be MS, in a way, i'm bound by MS. Actually i more of dont like the interface, preferred Mac.(i changed the shell system on my windows anyway). it's late, getting delirious...mugging....
  18. exams 5 days away... preparation: none life in a mess man, i just LOVE my life
  19. actually, i meant FIRST TIME READING chinese manga, will going round irritating ppl bout how to read the words. Sorry for the typo! Realised alot of titles are actually done by koreans...tenjou tenge anime have credits to koreans(?). I think i saw some manga titles that are from korea. they differed from the traditional korean manga i know, in terms of art. example, Doll. I took 2.5hrs to read school rumble....haiz...at least got through the words. It will be a great series to follow, akin, xiao wan zi. sister smaller than baby sister... FMA.... back to mugging
  20. Hey N_T thanks for the offer of 天下 i went to sunshine today, after deciding to take a 'well deserved' break from studies. I already made an order with them, 8.80$ per volume. Taiwan version. Is that the norm price? From vol 1 - 12. hope they are not disappointing, since the jap ver was pretty...uhmm....etchi/hen. cos i see at kino, taiwan manga are like 6-7$ insh. was surprised when i ask kino staffs bout the vol 12. they immediately informed me tt they dont carry the series only this special. guess the content was really in their catalogue -> as compared to their bikini babes pictorial. BTW, wats the diff between Taiwan & HK?! i mean HK betta quality? Bought school rumble from kino, taiwan, 6++ thank god they got issue 1 First time buying chinese manga, time to irritate ppl bout words
  21. Haiz... When all the Jap direct imports are so expensive, and hard to find. Besides, Taiwan/HK bootlegs are inferior quality and as the name goes, it is bootlegs also. Yet there's not channel/station/whatever screening anything. Read straits times comic section and watch cheesy anime/cartoons liao. When to comics connection today, they only sell tenjou tenge in sets of vol 1 - vol 12 @$12.50 each. HK edition. I never ever buy HK/Taiwan manga b4, is this the norm price? I've only bought Chuang Yi, VIDZ darkhorse all in English. New_Type: Are u joining the Inter-Versasity Gundam Modeller competition? Just saw a poster of it in my campus
  22. Not to hijack the thread, But is the Creative PCMCIA in SLS or elsewhere? BTW, their 'wonderful' are coming again. round 20/11/04
  23. Sunabouzu!!!!!!!!!!....." until he get the big b**bie girl! This season's anime are pretty good!
  24. Thanks again! Volume 12 with Aya is 72.90$ at Kino. Will make a trip soon. Hope they didn't butchered the manga to translate it. Titles I'm currently following, Grenadier - Nice bullets tricks School Rumble - Cute...too cute... Tennma...wonder if there are really girls tt tie the hair tt way. Anyway when it flaps, it's pretty cute Bleach - Kuchiki Ruchia....another monotous cute charcter... Think tts abt it...think GITS SAC 2 is stalled or wat....or Bandai doing a massive crackdown?!
  25. thanks for the links. But my Chinese is really CMI. Was digging around, the possiblilty of getting Alita is pretty low. Do local chinese comic store carry tenjou tenge? I wondered if it will be butchered up, since the original Jap is so Sorry for all this questions, i got couped in Hall can't really get out, will feel guilty towards the coming exams
