I am new to the webboards, though I have just looked through for about a month trying to figure everything out..

Anyhow I believe that the people over at Macintosh or Apple have a strange fixation on naming their opperating after Large Felines. For example they have Mac OsX Jaguar and now ther coming out with Panther. What next Lion. Its king of the operating systems. Or maybe Occelot.

Ah, a fellow resident of the Duke City (not too many New Mexicans floating around here, much less Albuquerquerians). Let me start off with a hearty "Welcome to the Boards" and tell you about the old Search function located at the top of each and every page on the ASW boards. It is advisable that you utilise this function to its fullest, lest you be liquified by the powers that be (I tell you this because a similar topic to this one has already been created in the B&B, although many aren't sticklers about the duplication of topics between boards, there are some who kill for less than that). Again, Welcome to the Boards!

The number of people who frequent both boards is very small, so this is acceptable.

I have an inside contact at Apple who says the next OS will be Anteater.
Anteater will use their new System Encouragement eXtreme, and will therefore be accronymed to
Anteater SEX

It sounds a bit like the MacAddict Log Out from a while ago...when they examined the names...but a doubt that there's any connection.

I still think 'Brazil' tops them all, it doesn't make too much sense at all, and its horribly done.

Those Miramax movies usually suck, like the Ice Cream Suit, that was awful too.

If you want a weird movie try Casino Royal. That is the most screwed up movie I have ever seen. Actually believe it or not it is a James Bond movie.If you have some free time you should go watch it (if you can find it).

Sean Connery was the BEST James Bond, Peirce Brosnan is getting WAY too old too.

He was definately the one with the best acting skills of them all, but as to fit the James Bond profile, I don't think he works very well.

I cannot remember what movie this was, I think it was Summer Something. The plot involved alot of boy scouts duct taping people to roads and kids carving out dolphins so they could sail in them.And people gluing a car to the back of a moterboat. It was strange and disturbing and ended with the people who had been duct taped to the road getting drunk as hell. If anyone knows what it is,please tell me.
