Minus the vodka. Minus the drops of lemon and lime juice.

I can tell you where to get the components, and the CRT TV... Then you can just watch them on Saturday morning only... It would be the same.

Over... And since there's only like 3.5 hours of video, and about 45 minutes of that is nothing interesting besides shooting and not talking... -

The last time this occurred was in 2005.

You don't have to go back in time to do that... Just grab one of the hundred or so torrents. (there's even a half dozen or so for Ren & Stimpy season 1 specific [it was the only good season IMO])

I think free will extends to the subconscious... Even while sleeping you have free will, but the consequence of the choice of sleeping is that you can't consciously exert your will. (not being capable of exerting it for a short period doesn't mean it ceases to exist) Same applies to drinking to inebriation... You lose inhibitions due to a chemical imbalance, but are still capable of exerting your will.

Might want to think about adding a donations system... And getting rid of that giant blank space under your logo on the main page.

Put your specs in the Hardware forum, and I'll see if I can help you speed it up some.

Minus the vodka.

I agree with that. The rest however, I do not. (other than the fact that most people can't even talk about it in a logical manner)

Testing my recently re-ripped audio CDs... Just found 3 of the albums I've been looking for for over 2 years, and if they all sound clear and good I'll upload them to my PirateBay account for anyone to get. (I haven't found any decent torrents of these albums in FLAC anywhere)
