    The nitrates they used in making the film corodded the film over the years and in some cases they opened the film reels and found just dust.

    For when you watch Lawrence(4 hours) lay in some beer and snacks..A LOOONG movie..
    Peter O'Toole is incredible as Lawrence.
    Anthony Quinn you won't beleive as an Arab and
    Omar Sharif debuted to the west in this film.
    Personally I think it's at the top of the all time list.
    OK, back on topic..Ahh, what was the topic?

    These people also generally "have a clue"

    Legend: the absolute bombs of overclocking, but who'll also take the time to answer questions and help others get the scores

    (the way I see it)
    I believe that is a factor to. Like the XIPs with little post counts, they are XIP because they work for certain companines. Like I know Jakup is with evga.

    This place is about having fun and competition.
    Becoming X.I.P shouldn't be your goal, if you start bothering people about it you never get it.

    Be yourself try to be better then anybody else one, be patient , one day you will get it.

    Just chill, and don't think about these things...if you worked, you wouldn't go to your boss and say "when can I get a promotion?" would you?

    Hell yes I would! Let me tell you this quick story: I worked for a locally owned auto parts store in West Palm Beach for 8 years, the first year I worked there just to "prove" myself to everyone, and then I realized to myself that I am better and more confident with what I do here then the freaking manager (who was my neighbor at the time ) After going the first year and not getting anything close to a raise in pay, I went to my manager and said, WTH, i've been here a year, sell over $62,000 worth of inventory a month alone, I get no commission, and my base pay is terrible, what can we do? I walked out from the office gaining $2.00 extra an hour, and 2% commission every month. So Yes, I would go to my boss and say "when can I get a promotion" However, I may have been lucky as my boss and I get along very well.
    Nothing anymore

    Reposting this for the absolute bottom line truth.

    Here's an easier way to become an X.I.P dont even concern yourself with what color your name is, make friends with peoples whose names are in Red and Black.

    They are all that really matters anyway

    Its not about the end result with me, its about giving back 100% again. and so long as the big man (DDT) doesnt get toooooooo involved...

    Personally i think it should be XSTA + XSTM + CTX VS. DDT

    and just keep adding people till we match him
