A preposition is something your not supposed to end a sentence with. I read somewhere that there was this linguist who really hated the rule. He wrote: "This is a rule with which I will not put up." I thought that was cute. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by

Besides, the information you are requesting is made available for investment purposes, not routine purchases. Because Stardock is a private company, disclosure is not necessary.

Lecrayon - you didn't have to plunk down the $20. The subscription is voluntary, the site is open to use whether you pay the money or not. I don't know what point you're trying to make. Do you ask Kraft for a prospectus every time you buy cheese?

I, for one, agree with Jafo. Its mutually beneficial relationship. I subscribe to Wincusto because I want to make sure this site is around for awhile because I couldn't possibly find a website that generated this much traffic and is directed soley at users and skinners. Is Stardock benefitting? I hope so, are skinners benefitting, you bet. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab

My last two Litestep skins would equal almost 3 MB. It depends on what you''re skinning. One reason I subscribed was because Wincustomize did come to the rescue when ls.net and skinz.org went down. I''ve been here pretty much from the beginning (UserID=34) and I appreciate what they''re doing, and I didn''t have to subscribe <i

The characters in FF were more lifelike then the actors in "Attack of the Clones" which BTW is a more appropriate title than Lucas had ever intended. One of the reasons I'm so down on AOTC is it looked as if George Lucas was far less interested in making this movie than we were in seeing it. It seemed as though he was counting on the FX and fan loyalty to make up for the abysmal acting and directing. The actors were the props and vice versa. Even the story seemed to be playing second

Don't get me wrong, the movie could have been great, but what is a movie if the main characters are bland and unsympathetic? All during the movie I was waiting for that moment when I felt for the starcrossed lovers, never happened. In the end I really didn't care what happened to them. As far as Chritiansen and Portman are concerned, this may be the first time that somebody's career was actually hurt by their performance in a Star Wars movie. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.

This will be the first Star Wars movie I will not see more than once. It was disappointing, especially after PM. For a romance that supposed to bring down an intergalactic republic, it was tepid at best.

This will sound weird but the way I fixed the crashing problems was to do an uninstall of both WB and Skinstudio and then reinstalled: 1. In Display Properties set "Prevent WindowBlinds from loading on startup". 2. Reboot. 3. Go to Component Manager and uninstall both WB and SkinStudio 4. Reboot. 5. Go back to Component Manager and reinstall both WindowBlinds and SkinStudio. 6. Reboot. 7. In Display Properties remove the check

He was the single most disappointing character, followed closely by Amidala (can't remember the actresses name). That these two would fall in love is nonsense. They have all the passion of wet tissue paper. Early in the movie Amidala says thet she will always think of Anakin as the little boy she met on Tatooine, and throughout the movie he proves he hasn't progressed much since then. I haven't seen that much pouting since Zoolander. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cm

I finally saw "Attack of the Clones" tonight. Sorry folks, this movie was pathetic. The androids showed more emotion than the "lovers" and Anakin Skywalker was a spoiled petulant brat. To believe that he eventually becomes Darth Vader is absurd. When he describes how he killed the women and children along with the men, instead of being shocked, I laughed. I was waiting for him to stamp his little feet, throw himself on the floor and start kicking. If Alec Guiness were alive today,

paxx - I have no problem with Sony's or anybody else's property rights, but the media companies have never been smart about how they go about protecting it. If they had their way no one could own a CD-RW disk, or a tape recorder, or a copying machine, or a scanner. Don't laugh, everytime a new technology that threatened to make it easy to copy their material was introduced, they have sued to have the technology outlawed. Don't laugh, its true. For example, if the movie companies had

"I find it insulting that Sony would create a copy protection scheme that prevents you from playing their CD's in certain CD players. I do hope the DMCA gets challenged in court but I have no expectation that today's courts would rule in favor of the consumer." That's Sony's perrogative, stupid as it may be. The DMCA has nothing to do with that only that you can't hack it. What's gratifying is all the music companies that are losing money by the truckload, and they don't understand wh
