You mispelled "s-n-e-a-k"

No. No, I didn't.

[2Jedismom]

I'm going to the post office to see if my new whistle is in...

[JenB]

You mispelled "flies".

;-)

[Corin Stormhands]

Are you saying ksen is the Lord of the Flies? ;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah.... The last criminal pursuit (the bootleg TTT that was really Spiderman) I used Kazaa lite...

It still has put something weird on my machine... I have odd results that appear in my DNS cache... I can't tell what application is pinging them...

I only know because I have to flush my DNS cache all the time to purge my other demon.

[JenB]

Hmm... Am I?

Have we seen this story yet?

Jackson discusses Frodo's 'Rings journey

The Lord Of The Rings supremo Peter Jackson has offered us a glimpse of what to expect from the character of Frodo, played by Elijah Wood, in the two sequels to last year's The Fellowship Of The Ring.

"What basically happens is [the films] become darker and they emotionally go places, which is very interesting," Jackson told Cinescape, adding, "As Frodo's journey with the Ring continues, the Ring starts to affect him more. There's an interesting dynamic that is going to happen in these films where in the first movie, Frodo is the audience. He's the Everyman character."

"In the second film, The Two Towers, the Ring starts to act on him in a much stronger way. By the third film, Frodo has such a burden to carry and is starting to behave in such a strange way that I think the empathy of the audience will switch to Sam, who is accompanying Frodo on this journey," the Kiwi filmmaker elaborated, "Frodo becomes so troubled by this Ring that we are now going to be looking at this story through Sam's eyes by the time The Return Of The King, comes out, because we can no longer really go there with Frodo because he has his own tortuous journey that he takes on. It will be very interesting to see the three films together because there's going to be this switch as each film becomes more intense."

The second film in the trilogy, The Two Towers, will open in the UK during December.

There are a number of stories here.

Consider this a peace offering for the "sneak" attack.

I downloaded a program called "Ad-Aware" that supposedly sniffs out any spyware that may be hiding on your computer. Maybe that will help.

[JenB]

Ad-Aware's very good. I run it about once a week. Amazing what you find the first time you run it!

Jackson discusses Frodo's 'Rings journey

I gotta stay off the news threads. First thing I thought of was "what is Jesse Jacka$$ saying now..."

[HairOfTheDog]

I ran Adaware.... It doesn't find anything that stopped it... I turn on the notification on my firewall too... there isn't any info coming in or out. just a DNS ping. I don't know what it is, but it is tickin me off...
