manodogs I love Purple Rain, though I am conflicted as to whether or not it is one of the great music films of all-time. The soundtrack is easily one of the best of any movie (and deservedly won an Oscar), but the movie is pretty pedestrian. Still, it has a...

manodogs Horror is a very broad genre, so it's hard to suggest anything without knowing more about you and your tastes. Some people enjoy "splatter fiction," while others prefer something more suspenseful, with "off-stage" deaths. Some people like reading about the...

My name is Earl canceled!

youema @youema (11) • United States 20 May 09

WHY? I loved the show. It was different. I thought it was doing very well. I did hear a rumor that it might be moving to ABC or Fox. Why does NBC keep canceling programs that seem to be doing well.

manodogs Earl is completely dead... TBS tried to save it at the last minute, but could not afford to do so. They said the only budget they could afford would have negatively affected the quality of the show and they did not want to do that.

manodogs ABC is far worse, but I also thought Earl was doing well - I know it was at one point. It even went into syndication; some cable channel was showing it during the day at one point. I also heard it might be moving to another network, but nothing else...

manodogs In what OS? It depends on what operating system you are using. If you don't want to use the Start folder, you can either hack the registry or set it in the Task Scheduler. If you have the RAM and resources, the second option is the best way to go; if you...

Does anyone really like Vista?

Connie @connierebel (1557) • United States 13 Dec 08

I don't know if this question has been asked before, but is there anyone who actually thinks Vista is actually an improvement over XP, or at least just as good? Everyone I talk to hates it, and I do, too. When I needed to get a...

manodogs I had exactly the same problem with software. But I got Vista pretty early-on. While there were a lot of programs - even hardware - it didn't support then, I'm able to use just about everything I need now. You really shouldn't have too many issues these...

People of Mylot, Do you READ discussions and responses before responding?

Bullying video posted on youtube

ronaldinu @ronaldinu (12422) • Malta 26 Oct 08

A bullying video on a mentally disabled person taken on a public transport bus by a cellphone was posted on youtube a few weeks ago. A local newspaper investigated the case and the video was taken off the site. Why are people...

manodogs With so many videos being uploaded constantly, I think YouTube does a fair job of "policing" matters. After all, they are rarely aware of the offending videos until users report them and something this horrible was certainly reported by many people. The...

Was Fair For Teacher to Tape Kid's Mouth Shut? Should He Be Fired?

justin0101 @justin0101 (102) • United States 26 Oct 08

A Texas teacher has been placed on paid leave for taping the mouth of a five-year-old boy shut. The teacher says the boy wasn't staying in line and kept talking. The boy was asked if he wanted his mouth taped shut and then the boy...

manodogs I read a lot of people who are upset over the teacher's approach but offer no alternatives. The child did not get spanked, he was not suspended, and I fail to see how someone could be harmed by having tape placed over their mouth. As someone else pointed...

manodogs Ghost Hunters would have to be my favorite, but Ghost Adventures (the new series) is really good, too. I don't care for Paranormal State and absolutely hate Most Haunted Live, but I like the others.

manodogs This is a great question. I have been computing (seriously) for over 15 years now and with 98 - even XP - desktop computers, it's best to leave them on. The technology just wasn't there back then and the analogy I always heard was, "When does a...

Is myLot your love or just a casual fling?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 22 Oct 08

Do you spend almost all your internet time here or do you flip around from site to site? Do you have other sites you like better? Or is this your favorite? Or do you like a bunch of sites equally for different reasons?

manodogs It was a long time ago, so it's hard to recall, but I made the payout threshold fairly quickly - maybe a little over a month? But I had the wrong PayPal e-mail in there and it took a while to get it all straightened-out. It doesn't matter how old the posts...

manodogs I used to raise Danes but I sold them. None of them ever had any puppies. I'm surprised the mother lived. Danes are so big, their hearts tend to give out within 7-9 years, so that really is amazing! I hope she makes it, but they will probably have to feed...
