• I Hate Printers 6/24/2008 10:11:43 AM

And it's not like I'm doing exotic stuff. I just want something that feeds properly and doesn't make a mess out of simple printouts. *** Anyone have printer brands/makes they particularly like? Try a Canon Pixma ... here's a multi-function model that everyone likes (the MP470). You can pick it up for well under $100 after rebate and it works great. I recently got one for my Mom when her old Epson gave up the ghost. [ invalid url ] It's also available in most Circuit City stores. -- Snowman Edited by - snowman872 on 6/24/2008 10:14:43 AM

• Transfering Data from one computer to another. 6/24/2008 10:05:53 AM
  
  There are in fact several programs that do what you suggest. The most popular is called Laplink. They also have a program called PC Mover, that lets you transfer applications and settings from your old computer to your new one. http://www.laplink.com/ http://www.laplink.com/pcmover/ Another rock solid program of this nature that I used to use all the way back in the DOS days (with a parallel cable) is FastLynx. http://sewelldirect.com/fastLynx3.aspx -- Snowman

• Is it legal to shoot porn in Texas? 6/24/2008 9:57:12 AM
  
  California is the only state to date where a high court expressly has given the green light to porn. If you shoot in any other state, you may find yourself facing criminal charges. It's unlikely, but it could happen. The charge would most likely be pandering.

• Recommend a portable mp3 player 7/10/2007 5:30:52 AM
  
  I've had quite a few MP3 players, but overall my favorites are the RCA LYRA models. Most of them come with 512k or more, play Mp3 and Mp3pro, they run a decent amount of time on standard AAA batteries (1 or 2), and are expandable with inexpensive SD cards. These days, they can be found for $50 or less.

• When and Why did Anal Take Over Porn? 4/20/2007 2:09:24 AM
  
  I think it started to come on in a big way in the mid 80's with the groundbreaking Caught From Behind series. The Dark Brothers helped promote anal and DP scenes a lot, especially with "Between the Cheeks" with Ginger Lynn. Western Visual's "Girls of the A-Team" also made a big splash. Wet Video's "Backdoor Bonanza" series were comps from VCA. Things sort of limped along for a few years with weaker series such as "Backdoor to Hollywood" CDI. Then in the early 90's Max Hardcore took things to a new level and changed anal scenes forever. Max shot LONG anal scenes in multiple positions in a very graphic way. Also, Buttman and Rosebud did a lot to advance the anal cause as well. By the mid 90's Zane and...

  I'll do this only because I am too lazy to take off the label ... This is my work notebook. AMD Turion 64 ML-30 (1MB L2 Cache, 1.6 Ghz) 15.4" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite TFT LCD 100 GB HD DVD-Dual Burner DVD+R Double Layer/DVD+-RW 1 GB DDR 802.1 b/g wireless LAN This notebook was pretty hot when I got it about 1 1/2 years ago. It still runs XP pretty darn fast. It cost about $950 at Circuit City.

• Windows compressed files suck? 6/15/2006 5:39:49 AM
  
  After much experimentation it appears that the Windows compressed folder application sucks ass. The mail store has a directory structure of 4096 folders in a complex naming scheme of hexadecimal values. The windows xp zip routines crap out after 256 folders without any type of warning or indication that it didn't get everything into the file that was requested of it. The new WinZip (Version 10) is really beefed up in terms of handling large files. All those limits in earlier version of Zip are gone. This is from their website: "In addition to supporting the original Zip file format, WinZip, 9.0 and later, also supports the 64-bit extensions to the Zip file format. The extended format lets you store all the data you need in Zip file...

  Im sure there plenty of guy who do it, not just me, actually i could not do it if i was the only one, a p2p mean Peer to Peer...so if only 1 peer its impossible. Im just the guy who don`t hide doing it. I don`t see much the link between posting on a forum and the pay thing... The connection is, even though you are able to use this site for free, it costs a substantial amount of money and resources to operate. ADT will only be able to pay these costs (and hopefully turn a profit for the owners), if members use the shopping links or producers buy advertising. If everyone thought like you, and never paid for porn, the entire industry would collaspe. To the person who said most things are "overpriced", I couldn't disagree more. Hard...

• What videocamera does JJ use? 4/30/2006 9:21:31 AM
  
  Regarding Stedicam ... Yes, it is a accessory camera stabilization system. Here's how it works: "The secret of the Steadicam JR's patented stabilization concept is in its ingenious system of weights and balances which places the center of gravity within its free-floating, inter-gimbaled handle assembly." http://www.steadicam.com/handheldSteadicamJR.html But, you can see from the photograph that it might unsuitable for shooting porn if you are the kind of shooter that likes to stay fluid and move around the action at close range. There are some software solutions to help eliminate camera shake as well. I know a pretty popular one exists as a plug in for Adobe Premiere. -- Snowman

Thats something kind of funny, us version is 25$, euro version is 60$ ...and you get what more in euro version? some white piss looking like water. Pretty hilarious. The USA content editing goes far beyond that. Besides any golden shower footage, "edgy" dialog (anything related to young age or incest), fisting, and scat is edited out. I've not seen Max Hardcore titles with scat in them, but others have mentioned these scenes exist. The continuity of the scenes is preserved as well. -- Snowman Edited by - snowman872 on 4/30/2006 8:00:09 AM

I'm sorry, but I was talking about the conscious choices that allow stuff to get in the shot in first place. Not knowing your craft is a conscious choice. Not policing the set is a conscious choice. Not going over what you expect from the performers is a conscious choice, as is not having a closed set. If the choice is to include a hot sequence that has (what I consider to be) a minor flaw or leave it out all together, I'd rather use it. I'm not sure we're talking apples to apples. I am talking about a lack of planning, which is no minor flaw, IMO. Leaving light stands around where they...

• Dumb Directors and Editors... 4/27/2006 9:08:18 PM
  
  Most good directors edit their own movies :) yeah maybe? if your on a budget perhaps, personally it should be left up to the professionals who do that sort of job for a living I think it would be much easier to dump a bunch of tapes onto the lap of a professional editor. Do I think that would result in a better end product? -- probably not. Very sophisicated, but fairly easy to use editing tools are in the grasp of most computer literate people today. Even using a paper edit, or looking over the pro's shoulder would not be the same as the director working with the raw footage himself. A director editing the content himself will result in the most true vision of the disc. It will have the added benefit of revealing flaws and lead to impro...

• Dumb Directors and Editors... 4/27/2006 8:51:54 PM
  
  Maybe you could elaborate on why a director would make such a choice. The only reasons I can come up with insult my intelligence. Because personally I don't think it detracts much from the main subject matter -- the performers having sex on camera. If the choice is to include a hot sequence that has (what I consider to be) a minor flaw or leave it out all together, I'd rather use it. Also, I think it's unrealistic to assume that all flaws and technical problems are the result of "laziness" as you put it. Nor do I think it is possible to always shoot scenes as perfectly as you contemplate even with one camera, let alone two. Keep in mind, porn productions are not like Stanley Kubrick projects where performers will tolerate endles...

• Dumb Directors and Editors... 4/27/2006 6:39:10 AM
  
  I, on the other hand, would consider it sloppy footage, not hot. Seriously? By definition a "hot" scene has to have 100% perfect technical production values? Or perhaps I should say, must a "hot" scene absolutely suspend the viewer's belief it is a porn scene? Would it interfere with your ability to enjoy the scene so much as to leave you totally limp? Personally, I think we all know when we watch gonzo, we are watching staged sex. The fact that we don't always see the lights or another cameraman doesn't make me forget that. And what about when directors bark commands at the girls throughout the scene? I encounter this quite often. That sort of ruins the "illusion" we are watching something "real" ...
