1. Wow. That's amazing.

Ok, not all Flash must die. Let's keep this one...

Until someone rebuilds it in HTML5.

2. Its about ART!

Imagine what we'd have, were it not for quite a lot of 'unpleasant' characters, in history.

6. Damn that shit crashed my firefox.

I mean, my shit hardly ever crashes. Dual core, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 4gigs of ram.

Fuck!

[CountAllVotes]

7. it did me no good either

:grr: :argh:

While we are so busy comparing computers, I am using an old IBM ThinkPad with Windows XP on it and 512 RAM. Good enough for most thinks using Firefox.

21. I love those things.

I have a T23 that still works great, and a real sweet T60 15" with W7pro and that 320bgb WD scorpio black.

Also have an old X600 and a T40 that are both toast. (I think)

Jeez , I have a serious computer addiction now. I was buying parts for a wicked quad-core, but ran out of funds. :P

9. Similar hw system, but on Linux, mine crashed too, then on restart it worked...

[onehandle]

10. Safari, Dual core, Mac OS X 64 bit, 8 gigs of RAM. Worked fine.

Must have been the extra 4 gigs.

And the...

14. Heh!

No doubt!

8. There is a copyright in the middle of the floor. Must be for the video... n/t

[canetoad]

11. Also a picture of God

mooning the congregation, if that big grey haired guy in pink is God.

[RKP5637]

12. LOL

:rofl:

13. Cheapo refurbished Dell with a personality disorder

but it worked just fine.

I'm passing it along.

Thanks.

20. I think the latest version of firefox may be buggy.

Seems like I was reading some posting somewhere about it.

I had intermittent flash problems in firefox when I was running XP Media Edition, and then in vista but it stopped when I went to W764bit.

[Warpy]

22. I've got the latest version here

and I didn't have any problems. I haven't tried it on the W7 laptop yet.

15. I just read a fantastic book - Sistine Chapel: Michaelangelo's Forbidden Messages

http://www.amazon.com/Sistine-Secrets-Michelangelos-Forbidden-Messages/dp/006146905X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271012300&sr=8-1

A lot of the artwork was hidden by smoke, etc., and after the restoration of the panels a lot his artwork was surprisingly Qabalistic & somewhat chiliaist. Very interesting book.

I've been there.

18. looks like a good book / putting it on my list...

thanks...

[RainDog]

16. I was fortunate enough to get to see the Sistine Chapel when the ceiling was being cleaned

the before and after really helped to emphasize Michaelangelo's mannerism.... the colors that he saw as his vision of that work.

17. The beauty of it comes from a gay artist. n/t
