weird movies and automated toilets!

Weird movies: What is it with Korean movies I have seen "Battle Royale" and "Battle Royale 2" (seems pro Afghan terrorist) and now "Old Boy". The battle Royales are twisted crap if raising kids is so expensive and such a strain to the economy why not get rid of the useless old people who are causing a strain on the economy? Old Boy is weird from what I can make out some guy kills wife, is driven insane by some guy from past who dropped his sister off a Dam, he sets main char up so he falls in love and screws his own daughter. In the end main char cuts his tongue out, bad guy shoots himself and then main char has a hypnotist erase the part of him that is the killer who knows his screwing his own daughter, then they live together. Weird very weird if this is normal Korean film work no wonder they are cracked.

Automated toilets: came across a piece in a technology site American. Apparently automated self cleaning public toilets are unknown in America. Who would have known that America didn't have them. In Europe they are so common you would expect them to be worldwide. America apparently doesn't have roundabouts either. Much safer than crossroads, but I hate roundabouts, right blasted lane left blasted lane ad having your indicator on in the correct spot I hate that shite.

Thieving ebay gits!

having problem with a certain thieving pack of cunts on eBay. What is annoying as hell with them is that I had bought items 2 weeks prior and no problems.
My problem?
I buy a nice airfilter and airhose I click buy now and I go to pay, I pay them using their stupid system and enter the postage they listed that day along with insurance. now due to their annoying system and paypal I paid in euros about $50 more than I should have. I then get repeated emails for different amounts of postage 4 in total. I log into myebay and the fucks have changed the postage again and looking for more money. Then I yesterday they send me a email saying I have not paid at all and putting a unpaid strike against me. I have sent emails to eBay = useless and to the thieves themselves and I get no reply from them this is not funny. Myebay page says I PAID, paypal says I PAID its in my history and got email receipt from them. My credit card says I PAID.
SO I PAID ALREADY. YOU THIEVING FUCKS. If they stike me I will name the motherfuckers here to help warn the others. As I said before what is really annoying is I had no trouble before with their cunts just two weeks before. the only trouble I had with that order was customs ripping the box the spray guns came in up. $235 is no laughing matter.

ALL worked out, getting some of my money back and its being sent. am much happier now. Problem was computer error not taking my currency. Still lousy Automated emails in "support" are no support.

3D Game Engines what would you recommend

I am looking for a 3D Game Engine to start work on my game plan. I am currently looking at Torque Game Engine as its cheap ($150) but its not starting for me. Typically the more expensive Torque Game Engine Advanced ($295) does work apparently fine for me, which I find annoying as TGEA has even less documentation, is harder to use and comes with no tutorials unlike the cheaper TGE which has small amount of documentation, not much easier to use, but comes with tutorial files and has more adds available for it. of course it won't work for me.
SO! Does anyone know of a better engine, what do you think is better easier to use and why.

Torque Game Engine problems = Help me!

I have the Demo of Torque Game Engine and it will NOT start for me. The demo of Torque Game Engine Advanced will load but I would prefer to have TGE working before I part with hard cash.
All I get is a error when I try to start.
AppName: demo.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: glide2x.dll
ModVer: 2.42.0.32578 Offset: 0000e414
Which is infuriating. I have updated my video drivers and still no good!
Windows XPSP2 GeForce 6700XL 3ghz D2 Pentium video drivers are 162.18 international version: 6.14.11.6218
A forum where I have asked for help.Link also provides more Info about the Game engine as well.

Have it working under Win95 compatibility in properties of the shortcut. But thats not right as should be working under XP. Why? am I apperantly the only one with this problem. I think its related to OpenGL somehow as TGEA is D3D only and it works fine. Just servely lacks in starter packs and is definetly for advanced users only.
The Fact you have to buy the licence to see the documentation is bas enough, but is made worse you only can see the doumentation for the version you buy. Buy TGEA and you cant access TGE info despite TGE being a lower version and having more code to download.

RPG Post apocalyptic game

I have started to Yet again go over a game I have been working for a Long time. Think several years. The basic concept has changed somewhat and possibly should be called New Age rather the post-apocalyptic due to moving timeline 150yrs beyond original timeline (the world is still fucked, mostly).
I started working this out in my head and several notepads, then moved onto Treepad (very handy) and now TiddlyWiki, which is also very handy though the source of my current headaches. My Treepad file was a MB+ in size and I felt was clunky. Now TiddlyWiki starts as 265Kb from a "empty file" and now is near the MB of the original file without having half the data transferred to it so is slow to start and autosave. Got IncludePlugin which is basically a plugin that allow you to create a TiddlyWiki and include other TiddlyWiki's in it so each TiddlyWiki don't get too big. Problem is entries can only be edited in original TiddlyWiki and you cannot have a Included TW inside a Included TW which I am finding annoying. I don't know how to edit the plugin so cant change it. I would if I could.
Basics: World is Fucked (think terrorists, natural disasters and general bad stuff).
3 main nations (Imperial Nation, N.A.U. and Republic of Texas)
3 main cities at present (Settlement, Eggsville, Dallas)
4 minor outposts/towns, (Outpost 7 "Gryphon", Outpost 25 Outpost 29)
Dead cities (New Orleans City)
Power groups (Imperial Nation, N.A.U. , Republic of Texas, The Brethren, ELF, , Cult of the Machine, The Traitors(multiply groups)...)
3 races and possible more (Pureblood humans, Enhanced humans and trolls)
System is mostly D20 based
TiddlyWiki blank file for you to play with
Right click and save works best in IE.

Working with TGE or TGEA engine at present TGEA is more stable but complex. TGE refuses to work at all.

Fallout 3 - I want it Now!

Got PC Gamer mag had video in the DVD of the intro sequence. I love Fallout, I have Fallout 1 and 2, can't get the rest. Can't wait until the release Fallout 3 (oblivion based), It would be nice if it actually showed up rather than being cancelled like the last Fallout 3 game.
Hopefully the game will be heavily modifiable as it would be a nice I think engine to chuck my game onto and have a mess around. Oblivion had a terrible levelling system that seriously messed the game up. Hopefully that pile of garbage will have been removed and some thing more realistic in place. Fallout 3 from what I have heard though has limited (read small) area of play and exploration and only a few npcs. this will be most annoying. They bloody well better get rid of the dammed invisible walls rubbish that was in oblivion, Chests with treasure and no way to get to them = totally incompetent play testers

Importing Laser from China for 20 May 2007

I am thinking of setting up a sign making business and as part of this I am looking to get a Laser Engraver/cutter from China as they are way cheaper that those in Europe, 10 times as much in some lasers case's. I unfortunately know very little of importing stuff from china especially from companies that give prices as FOB and payment as TT. I would like help in this, mainly in who I have to talk to to get the Laser here, Freight Forwarders and Custom Brokers are some I understand I need. The Laser is in China and I am looking to bring it into the West of Ireland, someone to handle all the paperwork or most of it is what I need the most. Anyone who can help give a IM or email please. If you do this all the better and if you sell laser engravers or cutters 40-60W give me a message as well with a quote/pricelist as always interested in more information.
Anyone able to help me??
GONE OFF IMPORT DUE TO BEING A PAIN IN THE WALLET ON THIS SIDE
