Sorry I am a bit overdue with this but here is mine:

Terminator: War of the Machines,
(Bought it today because I don't plan on getting it with christmas, We here in Holland have a little thing called Sinterklaas. Its the same fest, just another guy. Nickless will explain)

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,
(same reason - another time period. Due to lack of funds ATM)

I am buying myself a new computer, hopefully in addition I will also be given a laptop. (Does Centrino really make a difference in battery life? I heard it can double the life of laptop batteries?) I use laptops to write and desktops to do everything else.

I could use a few games, haven't played much in the last few months. What's even out there?

Movies:
Notorious Criterion Collection
Mon Oncle Criterion Collection
M. Hulot's Holiday - Criterion Collection
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Criterion Collection
Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines
Bad Boys II
Red Dwarf Series 3 & 4 (Probably have to buy it myself.)

@SnS

You already use a laptop, right?

It depend on how you use the laptop. What your settings are. Centrino uses lower voltage so, technically, ought not to use as must juice and it has lower operating frequency as well so it is "cooler."

I looked at how the mags ran their tests and well, they tend to have the laptops setup as off-site desktop replacements. That'll run down your batteries regardless of proc. If you're hard core and spartan in what you run when mobile and unplugged, the Centrino should show its edge if you set yourself up to run as lean as you can on juice consumption.

Oh just great Loc, no you got me stuck up with explaining this stuff *sigh* I'll remember this

Ok, Here we go.

Sinterklaas is basically the Dutch version of Santaclaus. The names sound alike and the celebrating is basically the same.
It's celebrated at December 5th. We celebrate his Birthday, wich is the next day and just like christmas, we give eachother gifts.
Sinterklaas was a saint (sint=saint, Klaas=Claus) who, as the story goes, once gave away his mantle to a woman who was living on the streets.
He also brought food and money to the poor people.

There is more to it, but it would take me to long to explain. This is the basics, knock yourselfes out

@nick, don't forgot that we had our sinterklaas earlier then they had his Santaclaus...

a cola concern (maybe u knew this already (and i don't know if i may call the real name but well)) made Santaclaus for advertising around...
they made our sinterklaas a little fatter, shorthen the white beard, get rid of his red/yellow clothes and give it red /with clothes and u got a newer version of our sinterklaas
