Or soccer for that matter. I think we are the only country in the world which has not caught the World Cup fever. We have better chances in soccer since we are built light and can run faster. We have a lot of open spaces. But we...

jackryan I think we just never caught on. Basketball has always been the dominant sports in this country, and with the advent of cable TV in the mid 90s, it was easier to be exposed to the NBA, that, added to the PBA, just made the exposure even greater. funny, I've...

I think everybody who has been in a relationship that's just starting out is bound to have encountered this. The girl I was going out with a few years ago wanted to watch "Maid in Manhattan", so I *had* to watch it too. Nevermind...

jackryan That's great! It's nice that your GF is "expanding your horizons" when it comes to movies. Sometimes it takes another person's persuasion powers to make us see the movie we never thought of seeing, and in the end we enjoy it -- to both us and our partner's joy...

jackryan Oh that's sad to hear. At best you could only be mildly annoyed at what you're watching, not liking the topic at all. But since you're with someone you love, then you can sit through it. That's terrible that you had to walk out. And about Planet of the apes,...

jackryan this is actually what I was talking about -- being "forced" to do something, but not really in an extremely bad way. Yes, it is also because of love I guess, and the want/need to please your partner or children. You just want to be around them and enjoy their...

Been following the Lakers for over a decade now, way way back from Shaq & Kobe's early year (mid-90s!) and I'm really excited to see my team back in the Finals. This is going to be another tough one, but I know my guys will still...

jackryan I've used AVG free antivirus for the past 5 years, and it hasn't let me down. It has daily updates, and it has a free edition. Even better, you can choose which features to install or to leave out. You can opt to have everything in, like email scanner, malware...

jackryan first off - have you tried shutting off the lap and turning it on again, did that make the display turn on? or is it still off? if it's still off, looks like you have a problem with the LCD display. It can be a video subsystem problem, or a problem with the...

I am employed two months. I am a new employee but I already feel that I am bored. I go to work just because it's my duty and I do my job because it's my responsibility. I want to motivate myself to be more productive. What can you...

jackryan try to pick up some side projects within your job description. Personally, this is my trick so I'm very rarely bored at my work. My last job I stayed for 5 years (only left because of salary), and at my current job I've been here for 3 years now. The key is to...

jackryan yeah, this is one of those rare days when I'm actually thankful I'm at the office and not at home. Even though our home is all the way up on the 11th floor, it's still mind-numbingly hot. Even the air blowing in was hot, terrible!

Hello myloters. I want to know on which speed do you burn the CDs and DVDs. Some recommendations. What's better, what is not. Pro's and con's. One friend told me that if I burn on the highest speed the chance something to go wrong...

jackryan from experience, it really depends on what are you going to use those discs for. If the disc is going to contain data, and is going to be read only be PCs, go ahead, burn them at the highest speed. However, if you are burning an audio CD, and you are...

(SPOILERS AHEAD!) Personally, I loved it. It brought resolution to a lot of questions (but not all). The thing is, I went into the last show with an open mind. I did not set my expectations too high, and neither did I dread...

jackryan I hear you. I've been looking around and most of the flak the finale is receiving is from the confusing presence of the flash-sideways. If you think about it really, you could take out that entire plot line and put it into half a season. but as I've...

jackryan I agree, it would have been a happier ending had they all returned from the island, but personally, I prefer the way it ended. Jack sacrificing himself, people dying, etc. It reflects real-life, not everybody gets a happy ending (plus everybody dies anyway)....
