  1. I have a simple html based local history website. It has a lot of photographs so page load time is important. To design it I used dreamweaver using frames. Can linux handle this? I am looking for a new host and I am torn between justhost.com godaddy.com mochahost.com siteground.com evohosting.com Any ideas? I just want some reliable and fast
  2. Webshosting Linux v Windows based. What is the difference performance wise?
  3. Unthinkable. Michael Sheen plays an American military man gone bad. He converts to Islam and places three nuclear bombs in three different cities. He turns himself in. Thus the FBI (Carrie-Ann Moss) and Samuel L Jackson (freelance toturer) are given the task of breaking him to get him to reveal where the bombs are. Will they do the unthinkable and torture his wife and children in front of him? A film about the usefulness of torture and how much we sacrifice when we descend to this level to defend ourselves. Not as good as it should have been. 6/10
  4. Go to google and you will see it is the 30th anniversay of pacman. Press insert coin and have a game. Enjoy yourselves
  5. When John Basilone's wife went to visit his parents...a little bit of dirt got in my eye
  6. Robin Hood...prince of shit. 1/10 I want my money back
  7. I would refer you to my earlier posts "I have watched the first four in 720p and it is top notch. The only thing that stops it from being as good as BofB is the nature of the war itself. The European campaign did have some element of glory and romance to them. The great epic battles and battle lines.THe failed missions etc. There was aclear battleground with epic losses and victories. In the Pacific the campaign was a nasty slog fromone shitty little island to another. No real sense of two sides indulging in epic battles.Just one nasty littlejungle fight after another. As a result the Pacific campaign is less glorious and has less of a clear and defined narrative. It was just like this programme...seriously disjointed and seriously fucking grim " And "However, it is grim, uncomfortable watching. B of B was alway superb and none of it was difficult to watch. It was actually quite heroic in the true sense (not in the bullshit Hollywood sense). But the Pacific campaign and hence this programme is unremittingly fucking grim. One long, sweaty, jungle fight after another on shitty little islands. A great programme but much more uncomfortable viewing that BofB "
  8. What the feck is that? Why would anyone choose to have a monster like that in their house?
  9. Hot Tub Time Machine. An enjoyable romp. Cusack and the gang played their roles well. The plot and storyline was not too demanding. The 80s nostalgia was not heavy handed. Enjoyable and harmless bubblegum. 7/10.
  10. So great that you are on the web whilst watching it?
  11. For kick-ass Kick-Ass (2010) DVDRip XViD-MAX Torrent - btjunkie
  12. No its not rivalling life on mars. Ashes to Ashes is and always will be utter shite
  13. Four Lions. A very, very funny movie with some genuinely inspired moments. However, this lacked the depth of Morris's TV work and was a tad too slapstick in places. 7.5/10.
  14. OK anyone know of a host called evohosting.co.uk? They offer 5 gig of storage and 30gig data transfer for £40 per year plut VAT. Also which are the reliable review sites?
  15. The Centurion...bit of mess but some good battle scenes 4/10 How To Train Your Dragon...soppy but sweet 7/10
  16. Mad Men...slow subtle and brilliant. The Pacific...but not as good as Band of Brothers Swingtown...a very well crafted 1970s drama. Cheers...best sitcom ever (especially series 1-5)
  17. At present hostexcellence offer unlimited storage (I only actually need 10 gig or so) and unlimited bandwidth for £8 per month. I only maybe need 20 gig bandwidth per month
  18. Nope I run a very simple local history website. I need quite a bit of storage space because it is image intensive. In addition I need quite a bit of storage.
  19. I need a good webhosting plan. I run a local history website. It is obviously non profit making. At presnt I use hostexcellence.com they charge me $131 per year (about £80). I wondered if anyone knew of any cheaper and better plans Someone has recommended justhost.com and godaddy but reviews on the web are very mixed
  20. The Infidel...patchy..some genuinely funny parts...but without the lead performance it would have failed hopelessly due to a hit and miss script by the untalented David Baddiel...5/10 Before the film there was an excellent trailor for FOUR LIONS...cannot wait for that
  21. Do you stalk everyone here or just me you weirdo
  22. Cemetery Junction. A new film by Ricky Gervais set in Reading in 1973. The main story is three young lads trying to escape the drudgery of life in Cemetery Junction. A very good film. Funny in places, poignant in others. Well worth a watch. Whilst all the props etc looked 1973 this part of the film did not work. It felt like a modern movie doing 1973. It felt like 1973 scrubbed clean and sanitized. 7/10
  23. Actually I have a degree, a masters and a PhD and all from Russell group Universities. Now pay attention to what I actually said. The nature of the war in the Pacific both in terms of the grim nature of island/jungle fighting and the disjointed nature of the campaign make it more difficult to encapsulate in the type of narrative structure needed for a programme of this nature. Unlike the European campaign which lends itself more easily to a structured narrative. Also in the European campaign you had the "grand battles" and simple lines of combat and structured advanced. In the pacific you did not have any of that. It was one grim battle over one pointless mound of dirt after another. As a result it is a high quality TV programme and better than 99.9% of the shite on TV these days but it was always going to struggle compared to BofB.
  24. Thanks for your pointless abuse and for showing what it would have been like if I had not gone to University. Your analysis is as weak as your spelling. I pointed out a problem with the programme. The nature of the war in the Pacific was too grim and too disjointed for it to be as successful as a piece of television as Band of Brothers. I am not sure why this would get a chav like you so excited
