Stuff downloaded but never used

The other week I was talking down the pub about some girl's T-shirt.

Well actually the picture on the front. Which was a suitably adjusted version of this.



After a bit of thinking we agreed that it is from North by Northwest.

I have not seen it in ages so I stated to download the DVD. It has just finished after downloading for over a week.

Now I am so fed up with it, I cannot be arsed to watch it. I'll burn it in a moment and it is going to disappear into the stack of DVD's that I haven't watched. It won't be lonely, I have loads of 'em to keep it company.

I downloaded Terry Gilliams Brazil then realised it was in Spanish.

I'm like that with my PVR. It's stuffed to the gills with stuff I may never get around to watch. Things like Springwatch from a couple of years ago.


On an almost totally unrelated note. Your classic movie image reminds me of one displayed in a shop that I pass regularly and which I often stop to look at for some reason:



Yul looks like a midget next to Connery.

I searched for River Phoenix last movie for a long time, but couldn’t find it on DVD. Downloaded it a couple of months ago, still haven’t watched it.

It's worth watching just for the soundtrack

I've downloaded OpenSolaris several times but never had a look at it.

I downloaded The Anarchists Cookbook (wikipedia entry) around 1994 while in school, read a small amount of it out of curiosity but the main reason for getting it was because the Internet was fairly new ( think Netscape Navigator etc. ) and I couldn't believe stuff like this was available for all so easily.. obviously if I had of known..

"In 2007, a seventeen year old British boy was arrested and faced charges under Terrorism Law in the UK for possession of this book, among other things.[5] He was cleared of all charges in October 2008, after alleging that he was a prankster that just wanted to research fireworks and smoke bombs."

No, that wasn't me, I no longer own a copy in any form of said document..

VirtualBox is your friend...

I am a bit of a hoarder.

I have dozens of linux distros (ubuntu, fedora, & slackware) + freeBSD & solaris x86, linux + windows versions of oracle going back to version 8 or 9, express versions of SQL server & visual studio (although I have paid for VS2008 professional), plus sun JDKs, eclipse and all the java libraries I actually use, not to mention other open source and free to download tools & SDKs for all sorts of things from DSP to FPGA simulation. I probably have close to 1TB in total, more if you count the VMs it gets installed on.
