Hmmm, if we could please have email notifications on groups, I could set one up to replace my Yahoo Groups email list I admin with my old games industry chums and also optionally give us a more richer service (if they decide to visit the site).
FALOB, Roberto Bonini, Penguin and Rahul Das liked this
One problem though, sometimes we attach images to replies (in FriendFeed's case 'comments'). So ideally on the email notification alone it would be nice to have any image links in the comments appear as a image in the email. ALso for it to work in Gmail at least, we would need to see the whole thread, my own comments and all. #betakoltag-sg-groups
- Kol Tregaskes
I think my friends would stick with the email but optionally it gives us access to sharing images, etc.
- Kol Tregaskes
Ah cool. It mainly benefits me as it brings yet another thing into FF but the guys *might* like it too. I'm recruiting new users everywhere I can. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Nicholas, yep but so would they and I'd barely get them on FF yet alone getting them setting up lists etc. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Haha, they probably wouldn't know so I probably could get away with it. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
This would help with people who are used to using mailing lists, like Yahoo Groups and perhaps would give FriendFeed another target audience.

What movies are worse with multiple viewings?
Question inspired from AC's article here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article...
- Kol Tregaskes
any movie with a twist ending is never as good the second time around - Saw, Sixth Sense, Seven, Fight Club - they're all still great movies, but nothing compares to that first time having your mind blown by a plot shift so significant...
- Nathan Chase
Independence day. I never liked any of the older Batman movies.
- Michael Fidler
The first time I saw The Matrix Reloaded it blew my mind. Only on a second and third viewing did I realize that it had no plot whatsoever!

Pope Blames Environmental Problems on Atheists - http://unreasonablefaith.com/2009...
"Is it not true that inconsiderate use of creation begins where God is marginalized or also where is existence is denied? If the human creature’s relationship with the Creator weakens, matter is reduced to egoistic possession, man becomes the “final authority,” and the objective of existence is reduced to a feverish race to possess the most possible."
- Alejandro

Yeah, and who encourages people to "be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth", which is the major reason for these problems, anyway? :)

"feverish race to possess the most possible". That's real precious coming from the chief proselytizer.

Ronin for sure, follwoed closely by the fight/chase scene in Matrix Revolution.
- Anika
Surprisingly, for someone who likes car chases, I don't recall them too well. The most recent ones that come to mind are the racing scenes in Fast & Furious and the freeway attack/kidnapping in The Kingdom
- LANjackal
I'm being serious here, but BAD BOYS 2 has the single best car chase scene, takes place on the bridge.

I'd have to say "Bullet" & "Ronin" are tide in my mind for best chase scene.
- Bluesun 2600
Mustang vs.Charger, with Steve McQueen as Bullitt, is tops in my book!

- Robert DeBord
Sorry, but you're all wrong :). This is the best car chase ever shot http://www.youtube.com/watch.... 9 minutes, one single take, no speeding up, no special effects, no blocked street, excessively dangerous and perfectly illegal. It's also an amazing tour of Paris. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... for more.

- Vicarbott
If you didn't click my link, Jeremy Clarkson said C'était un Rendez-vous "makes Bullitt look like a cartoon". Now, go watch it and let me know your new opinion :) http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Cool vid. Seen it before and still contend French Connection best, if only because of its back-story.
- Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)
one expects the driver to get out of the car at the end of "C'était un Rendez-vous" and pull some dead pigeons out of the radiator grille. :-D

The Matrix - Reloaded and yes, Tarantino's Death Proof || I also love French Connection!
- Frank Da Silva
Terminator / L.A. River
- Marg Uerite
While 'C'etait un Rendez vous' isn't strictly a movie chase scene, it's a great drive. My vote is for Ronin though. It's pretty much what you think of when you think of modern car chases.
- Will Higgins™
Ronin, because it was real cars.
- Andrew Leyden
The Blues Brothers
- thinkQuick
Dandy Dan and his gang chasing Bugsy and Fat Sam in Bugsy Malone.
- Mark H
Ronin without doubt.
- Faraz Mullick
Ronin by a landslide
- Bwana ☠
I hate to say this because the movie itself is absolutely terrible but.. The scene in Bad Boys where the cars are flipping over the Ferrari.. OMGWTFBBQ.. I think CGI is the way to go with car chases..
- Can Koklu
French Connection, Ronin, Bourne movie had a decent one.
- David J Lowe
The Bourne Identity had the best one IMHO, though the one in Bourne Supremacy came close to beating it. Ronin was fantastic too. Michael Bay puts together some entertaining ones, even if they are over the top - the chases in The Rock, Bad Boys, and Bad Boys 2 are definitely fun to watch.
- Eric P
The Dark Knight "prisoner transport" chase was pretty awesome.
- Steve Lynch
from twhirl
The chase scene from Bullit is great. The chase scene with the crane smashing through buildings from Terminator 3 is a fave as well.
- Jeremy Brooks
Great thread, gonna have to go back and watch a few movies. By the way, the horse chase in first Lord of the Rings was quite good :)
- JCunwired
Blues Brothers hands down. Winnebago in a lake, police car lands INSIDE a semi, 20+ police car pile-up, army helicopters, nazis, what else do you need?!
- Peter Ghosh
Blues Brothers & French Connection are tied in my mind for best, but I love the chase scene in "Day Watch" as well.
- Jennifer Dittrich
So which Ronin chase is better, the Audi / Citroen / Mercedes chase or the BMW / Peugeot one later in the movie?

Drunken Master 2 (Jackie vs 5, Jackie & Lau Kar-Leung vs 100 in the restaurant). The Protector has an unbelievable 4 minute single shot where Tony Jaa runs up a large building, kicking tremendous ass along the way, and there's those three one-on-ones he has as well. SPL doesn't have a lot of fight scenes, but Donnie Yen vs Jing Wu is outstanding. The Cowboy Bebop movie has some...

guruvan killed 330 threads! [35% kill rate] -gonna have to work at th 46% - there should be another number on this that weights murderous effect by the sheer number of comments. (i.e. if you made 4 comments, and killed 2 threads, that's not as impressive as if you have 10,000 comments and killed 4,000 of them.

Yeah, except I call that "saved them from derailing." Anyway, GAME OVER THREAD KILLED HERE & NOW.

@Guru .. this is true. why not also supply an outright a plain list of strongest commenteurs, but please, exclude those "descriptions imported as comments" ........ well i have seen a thread in russian here with 4600 comments . so i do wonder, who will kill this one ? :]]]] upd:btw, this is 111th comment .. wonder who will make 222th .. hm, maybe its 112th

I like being a thread killer (sometimes). It means you see my comment all the time ;) If there was a conclusion to be made in the discussion, it seems the thread killer made it. If, on the other hand, the thread was just a conversation, and some boor just spews forth and kills it...well....

So, it’s finally here. Your fingers tremble; you open the package with one hand and feverishly open the CD tray with the other. You gaze coldly, for one last time, at your original Vista box, now burning in the fireplace. Half an hour later, you’ve got your PC loaded with a fresh and clean copy of Windows 7. So, what do you do first? You fire up the internet to download some stuff…but wait - there’s no browser. No browser!? How the hell are you supposed to get an alternative browser - Firefox, Opera, any browser - without a browser?

What they *should* do is force Microsoft to bundle a few additional web browsers - Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc. - and let the user decide which to install. The rest can be deleted.
