PeerGuardian is the site that deals with all things Peer Guardian (the app). For those who have not already been using this wonderful utility, Peer Guardian is sort of like an IP based firewall that is very lightweight. Instead of trying to deal with all types of port and application rules as well as many other features found on a personal firewall. PG simply allows you to add an IP number for anyone you don't want to connect to your computer. There are lists that get updated nearly daily that are composed of RIAA and MPAA IPs as well as other such organizations. Don't limit yourself to the preset lists, install the blocklists (ver easy to do) and then add anyone's IP that personally offends you. It also supports logging of all the IPs that attempt to connect. Everyone should use PG. Get it now, its freeware!
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The (2003)
While Frodo & Sam continue to approach Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring, unaware of the path Gollum is leading them, the former Fellowship aid Rohan & Gondor in a great battle in the Pelennor Fields, Minas Tirith and the Black Gates as Sauron wages his last war against Middle-Earth.
I actually went to the movie theater last night and paid to watch Return of the King. First off...WOW!. Gorgeous cinematography, emotive persona's, the hand and eye of Peter Jackson. Peter Jackson has made many truly awesome films in his day, but if Return of the King is anywhere remotely close to anything he will do in the future, a bright future it will be.

"free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty I am free at last."
I have received many emails asking what does "miosis in darkness" mean?
miosis is a medical term that coresponds to the contracted pupil. Usually this is is brought on by bright light such as the sun. For it to occur in complete darkness it takes a specialized set of circumstances. This "specialized set of circumstances " is what the title refers to.
Aliens Vs. Predator. Whew. This shit looks like it will be dope on celluloid. Basically the story for the movie is 5 predator teens return to ancient sites around the Earth. As part of a manhood ritual they must terminate the "Aliens." The story plays off the myth that alien lifeforms created the pyramid cultures around the world and were the gods of these cultures. More info as it becomes available.

SHAD0W EXPERIMENTAL BITTORRENT CLIENT is my personal favorite Bittorrent client. If you use BT, get it.
Well it seems as if a certain leech hole on IRC has banned the hell out of me because I won't tell on anyone's nick who gave me access. As if the actually think that I am going to do that. How can I say this politely -- The f#cker is lucky I haven't packeted his lame ass. It sure would make me feel better.

I just finished watching 21Grams and would recommend it.
"This is the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers (Penn) an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to an English emigré (Gainsbourg), Christina Peck, an upper-middle-class suburban housewife, happily married and mother of two little girls, and Jack Jordan (Del Toro), an ex-convict who has found in his Christian faith the strength to raise a family. They will be brought together by a terrible accident that will change their lives. By the final frame, none of them will be the same as they will learn harsh truths about love, faith, courage, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our worlds irretrievably, forever."

Drum n Bass Terminology & Classification (2003)
@ taken from former site dnbproduction.net
@ also see #dnbproduction (EFNet)
01. Jungle
the popular Rave culture, but didn't begin to form a separate identity until approximately 1992, where influence began to take shape from various music genres such as hip hop. Characterized by chopped up breaks, the tempo steadily rose over the years before settling at around 170 - 180 bpm in 1995. Further evolution in music has meant that jungle is now considered separate from drum n bass by some people.
02. Drum n Bass
Evolved from Jungle from approximately 1995 onwards. As the tempo of Jungle began to settle, people looked for more ways to evolve the music, resulting in a change of sound. The result is a more polished, sparser feel. Breaks lack the frantic rhythms of a few years ago but have a stripped down, raw edge to them. With the simplification of the rhythms, bass became paramount as the source of innovation, leading to the coining of the descriptive term "drum n bass" which has evolved into the main terminology for fast breaks based music.
03. Hardstep
A term made popular by the compilation of the same name by popular DJ Grooverider. Describes a sub-genre which rely's on stripped down, hard breaks with a "stepping", rhythmic quality.
04. Tech-Step
A further sub-division of the above, which has has the most impact in recent years. Drum n Bass began to take on influences from industrial techno, including sounds and drum patterns, with stripped down rhythms. Totally blew up with the likes of Ed Rush and Nico on No U-Turn Recordings in 1997 upwards. Recent years have seen this style further evolve with bass-line complexity and dark sounds, giving the term Tech-Step a new meaning. The meaning of this term has evolved almost identically to the music of Ed-Rush.
05. Dark
A term disputed by some, this describes music with an eerie, spooky feel and sound. Probably became popular originally as a method of escaping the frantic happy sounds of hardcore which drum and bass was evolving away from.
06. Jump-Up
A knee-jerk reaction term to describe drum and bass which was defying the dark sounds popular in drum n bass from 1997 upwards. This music blew up with the likes of Shy-FX and DJ Hype using simplistic bouncy basslines, however began to loose credibility when some producers began releasing basslines resembling children's TV program theme tunes. Forced a new "dark" push in drum n bass.
07. Intelligent
Possibly the biggest sub-genre of drum and bass, this describes music more about creating a feel and setting the scene, then making people dance. This music relies heavily on complex pads and synths, using sparse sub-bass (sine wav) basslines. Drum rhythms are generally more complex then most drum and bass and still have a cut-up break quality about them. Most popular artists include LTJ Bukem and his GLR/LGR record labels.
08. Jazz-Step
Not a common drum and bass term (more of an influence). Used to describe music mainly pushed by DJ Fabio - using the hard-step sounds of Grooverider overlaid with jazzy instruments such as saxophone. Stayed very popular from 1997(ish) until present day.
09. Ragga
A very common influence in drum and bass in 1994 which seemed was going to be the main feel for years to come, until pop-star General Levy released the tune "Incredible". This, coupled with several shootings (associated with the gun-shot sounds in several tunes) meant an inevitable change of sound. This particular sound remains popular and seems to run in short cycles becoming popular again every few years.
10. 2-Step
Coined after the change in drum n bass to simplified, "stepping" breaks. Originally described the drum pattern, it now has a meaning of it's own, and is itself a sub-genre of Garage.
