That's a good point - also if for some bizarre reason it is FAT-32 instead of NTFS, that would cause for some speed loss. I don't think anyone asked, but I think we are all assuming that the drive is 7200 RPM - that is correct, yes? If it is 5400 RPM, then that is why it is so slow. Similarly, if it isn't native USB 2.0 or 3.0, but instead USB 1.1 or lower, then that will also be a reason for it to be slow. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Cybertoad will have to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this sums it up for Windows 7: Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management You should see your external listed under something like "Disk 3" with the descriptor "Removable" underneath it. Then you can right click on it and select "Change Drive Letters and Paths..." and click "Add" and select an empty folder on one of your main NTFS disks to link the drive to. You can watch a strangely narrated video showing exactly the same operations above here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKC8U0nw7Bw "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I've rekindled an old hobby of mine that I used to apply to Cartoons and instead have been trying it out on porn. The hobby was simply this: Selecting music from whatever source and then listening to it while watching muted video from a very different source. The oldest example may be all the folks (myself included) who have listened to Pink Floyd's album, Dark Side of the Moon (played twice), while watching The Wizard of Oz. While the idea that it was designed to be listened in such a ritual is absolute bollocks, it does match up nicely rather frequently. The secret, of course, is that humans as natural pattern recognizers will find music matching up well with damn near anything they are watching as long as it changes movement frequently. I used to watch the Cartoon Network with the sound off and play various CDs I had around. My favorite at the time was to listen to Sex Mob's album Solid Sender (example track) while watching Tom & Jerry. Frankly, Tom & Jerry had enough good visual rhythms that would change and then return that it worked great with many different albums. This turned toward porn recently as I was watching some of X-Art's videos and Hegre-Art's massage videos and was somewhat annoyed when they'd occasionally start out with relaxing ambient music and then turn it off halfway through. So I started muting the videos and then loading up my Ambient station on Pandora and watching them that way. After that, I started messing about more with different music and watching how it changed the viewing experience. I was recently very entertained by watching four Facial cumshot compilation videos simultaneously (one in each corner of the screen) while listening to Beethoven's Symphony #7 in A, Opus 92:2, Allegretto as performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra while conducted by Georg Solti. (Here is Georg Solti performing it with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.) It adds such import and power to the video that it really changes the experience. I found it both humorous and awe-inspiring simultaneously. I'm planning on trying out other music soon, maybe works by Ennio Morricone... Anyway, does anyone else mess around with listening to music while viewing porn? Any interesting combinations? Experiences? Et cetera? "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Yup, I agree, Energy Conservation issues aside, leaving electronics (without moving parts) running all the time is probably the best thing for them. That doesn't mean you shouldn't restart them upon occasion. For computers running Windows it is crucial to restart them regularly (once a day is a good idea) as the OS is designed to a lot of file system cleanup during shutdown. However, restarts can help any electronic item that uses even basic software - I restart my cable modem about every 1 to 2 months, usually when I notice any sort of strange behavior in the download/upload speeds. Amusingly, it is usually my router, not the modem, that is the culprit, but both benefit reboots from time-to-time. A reboot doesn't cool down the system significantly, so you aren't endangering the electronics due to expansion/contraction. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

If your TV has a built in browser that can handle flash you could probably browse over to the site and watch it that way. Otherwise you'll have to be able to download Video Box's app onto the TV, and I'm not sure that is possible, depends on the particular TV model probably. Gotta crack open the dreaded manual for the absolute answer to that question me thinks. As Cybertoad said, using an HDMI out on your video card is a very easy way to do it. Also, some of the Roku style boxes are super cheap now, so you could go that route anyway. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Whoops, sorry - I didn't notice this post earlier.
This is about spot on to what I was talking about, though I will translate the very discreet and tactful wording of "with some fan-fare" that Khan used. What that means is that the new husband (as yes, it is at the after wedding reception) shoves his head under his bride's dress and removes the garter with his teeth. You must remember that this is performed with the bride sitting on a chair in the middle of the empty dance floor with the idiotic DJ goading the groom on and playing "sexy" music, while the bride and groom's family watch on (in abject horror in some cases). It really puts the "ass" in classy.
I imagine it is only caught if the bride is particularly hot. Or if it has her maid of honor's room key attached to it (hot or not, in that case it won't matter). "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |||

I was thinking of the price difference at the pump, but you are right, they do like to charge considerably more for the diesel car models too. Probably because of the turbo-chargers... Worth it though, if you plan on keeping your car around for more than a few years. I sort of expect to see a return of diesels to the U.S. market, but that depends a bit on how well these new pure-electric cars do. If the Nissan Leaf and its ilk take off, the demand for diesels may never appear.
Along same lines, why can't I buy a Toyota Hilux in the states? I don't want a damned Tacoma! (I know it is just a name badge, but it matters, damn it!) "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | ||

Prii are a dime a dozen here in the states - they went from being rare to being everywhere in a just a few years. I'm always shocked that so many people have cars in the UK with the high gas prices and the insanely high insurance fees, not to mention the congestion charges and so on. I know gas prices are subsidized in the US, but $8 a gallon is simply bonkers - let alone $12. Around me it is $3.85 a gallon, or £0.63 a liter, and I still consider that expensive. Then again, the US has a shite mass transit system, so unless that gets fixed, it is good that gas and cars are cheap. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Haha, yeah they did, and it is true, if you thrash a Prius around like it is an M3, it is going to perform horribly and get terrible gas mileage. Plus you'll get outrageous amounts of understeer. That said, if you treat it gingerly and carefully, it will reward you more than any normal gasoline car will. Driving style really, really matters when you are looking for extremes.
People drive them at insanely high speeds, apparently entirely oblivious as to how air resistance works. I've seen many a Prius pass me at 75+ mph on the highway; they might as well pour a gas can on the highway. (BTW: According to Wikipedia, the plural is officially Prii.) I think this comes down to people not actually doing the research when they buy a car and instead buying the car in an emotional and uninformed state - which is of course ideal for marketers. Most Prius owners seem to be buying one as a statement about their ideals and beliefs, not because they want a low fuel bill. So they run off and drive the cars like complete wankers, not realizing how much they are playing the fool.
For the longest time, the old, big Mercs were the only diesel sedans you could find in the States. I think the fuel sipping nature of diesels is slowly being communicated to the masses, so more are showing up, but they really are few and far between. Many car manufacturers don't bother building or importing them here. Plus, the high price of Diesel fuel seems to turn off some people, but when you are getting 90 mpg it really makes up for that price difference. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

) driven as if fuel efficiency is the goal. Granted, here in LA the city uses them for meter maids, where short, low speed trips are ideal for an engine that shuts off when it idles too long, but private citizens seem to treat it like a lozenge-shaped sports car.| 11-02-12 08:12pm - 4441 days | #2 | |

DHD Media's security logos on the bottom of the page appear to be fake. VeriSign no longer uses that logo since they were bought by Symantec - now the logo should be listed as Norton Secured by Verisign. Plus clicking on it should send you to the VeriSign (now Symantec) site to verify that the SSL security has been checked and verified as secure. Plus, the logo should be hosted on Verisign's site - not on DHD Media's server. DHD Media may not be a complete scam, but the certainly aren't paying for all the security that they are advertising on their front page. Their pages are certified by a real and verified Trustwave certificate, however, Trustwave might not be the most reputable company. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

They are often marketed to businessmen and other frequent flyers and all try to make some sort of appeal to aesthetic - most fail sadly, in my opinion. At any rate, if you are looking for a highly mobile method of viewing high resolution video, it seems to be a problem if you also feel really silly sitting around watching it in a public venue. I suppose some folks might use them at home for 3D viewing capability, but at home systems have a ton of possible 3D solutions. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I love the idea of the video goggles, but they always are so ridiculous looking. You think you'll be chilling with a Georgi LaForge style sleek visor, but in reality they are enormous and bulky - basically only Asian women or German men can make wearable electronics look cool - this includes bluetooth headsets. Google is working on an Augmented Reality HUD called Project Glass that would superimpose information over your view of the real world as is relevant. It looks damn sleek but is a far cry from display HD video. Perhaps its development will eventually lead to sleeker video goggles, who knows? One can only hope. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

That is soooo 2005. Portable porn viewing in 2012 is best suited to the tablet. All of the tablets use IPS displays, so you have much wider viewing angle than any portable DVD player I've ever seen, plus you could store and access your porn via cloud storage or just stream movies from your favorite porn site. Plus, all of the tablets are more than light enough to hold one-handed. The new iPad can play movies for over 10 hours straight, even with its insanely high resolution Retina display - I think that is more than enough portable porn time.

I hope the new Star Wars movies don't try to be so damned epic and instead focus on smaller characters with smaller stories. Not every Star Wars movie needs to be about saving the universe. I'm also glad to see Lucas passing the reins to someone else - I think the awesomeness of "A New Hope" was good writing, not directing. Hopefully Disney keeps the movies a bit edgy (I'm thinking of the Han Solo character here) and doesn't, well, Disney-fy them too much. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Being a girl doesn't necessitate that one isn't into that. Gender identity and sexual desires aren't tied together in a one-to-one relationship. As I said before: There are plenty of heterosexual partners that use a strap-on in the bedroom, on the man. So if some natural born girls want to do it, then it makes sense that some trans-girls will want to do it too. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

This forum's policy dictates that we can't post links to free picture or video galleries, but if you just do a Google Image search for "Sean R. ATK" you'll get a ton of examples from old and recent. If you specify the image size as large (say above 2MP), you'll probably get exclusively his newest stuff, as the old pictures weren't uploaded in large resolutions. Also, his work is all over the preview sites dedicated to ATK Natural & Hairy, as Cap'n suggested. Sean R. is one of their most popular photographers. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Personally, I don't have much of a preference on areola size. I tend to prefer smaller breasts aesthetically, but arguments can be made for the other side too. I do have have specific preference for large and long nipples - some find it a real turn off, but I'm all for it.

It is good to know he keeps improving! I haven't seen his latest work, so it is always nice to read updates on it. He definitely has always had a gynecological obsession, which I'm a tad partial to, but I can understand a bit of a frustration with it. The lack of editing is an issue. Skipping photoshop to a certain degree is commendable (however color correction is a must), but editing out overly repetitious photos smacks of laziness. That said, I don't recall ever seeing out-of-focus photos from him - so he must do some editing. Perhaps he is just a little too protective of his photos, editing can be hard that way. I know personally I usually either edit too much or too little; it is very hard to strike the balance just right. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

That early lighting was crazy, wasn't it? I'm so glad he got a handle on that. I agree, he understands that presentation matters, and clothing is a part of that presentation. I like nude photo sets, but changing up the clothing and paying attention to it is really a breathe of fresh air of sorts. Sean R. also finds really interesting models with some unconventional looks. He doesn't mind skirting the edge of ugly to find someone that is on just the right side of the line to be really intriguing and attractive. Some call it "beautiful ugly" and it falls back on my recently oft referred to theme of exotic always being attractive. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Humans will get aroused by damn near anything. You could probably get some people to sign up for footage of people pouring coffee... sexily... Also, I'm not sure why you are saying most men, or for that matter, most Porn Users, dislike Dildos. Here are three Porn Users Polls that say otherwise: What are attractive toys? Only 26% selected "none". Do you prefer that models use toys that are "anatomically correct?" Only 32% picked other ("none" wasn't an option). Do you approve of the huge-sized vibrators that seem popular in porn recently? 50% don't approve if you count "dislike" to mean "disliking all toys" and adding in "other". Those were all I found using a quick Google search, though I imagine there were probably a few more polls on the topic. Anyway, humans succeed because we like to reproduce - I really don't wonder about what anyone finds arousing - just as long as they pursue it in a manner than does not endanger self or others. That is of course stealing language of the Mental Health community for judging if an individual should be committed to a hospital for treatment. Lastly, an amusing video that seems quite apropos from the sketch comedy show "That Mitchell and Webb Look" on Youtube: That Mitchell and Webb Look - Working from home (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk) "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Why would lesbians put on strap-ons if this makes them look like something (or someone) they don't want anything to do with? Pat362: ...it's the sensation that matters. I concur with Pat, the female anatomy was designed to receive pleasure from the male anatomy. In short: It feels good. Why would a lesbian suck on a life-like rubber penis? Again, have they not turned their backs on the male gender, so why would they? I'm really not sure why again and again when you see people talk about Lesbians they use phrases like "they turned their backs on the male gender." It is as if being attracted to a specific gender is an attack on the other genders. So I rather argue the premise of the second question. In regards to the first, I believe it is usually done in porn for the enjoyment of the viewers, though as pointed out in the past, the majority of humans are attracted to multiple genders to varying degrees, so those doing the sucking could also be turned on by it. There is also the attraction of classically taboo behavior and the exotic. Lastly, there is the old adage that no lubricant is superior to saliva - it last longer, runs smoother and it's free. Why would a transsexual "girl" do an anal on a man? Does this not completely contradict what "she" professes to be. Why not? She is pre-op and it feels good, so if her partner is into it, it seems to make damn good sense. There are plenty of women, who gender identify as women, that go home, throw on a strap-on and plow their man up the arse. Keep an open-mind folks. Different strokes and all that. Why would a woman find it arousing if a man uses the groove between her breasts as another thing to "make love to?" Many people get aroused by making their partner aroused - that is more of a turn on for them than having their partner go down on them or whatever else. The giver versus receiver mentality; or submissive versus dominant, et cetera. So yes, most women aren't going to have a huge amount of sexual stimulation from "tit-fucking" but they can still be immensely turned on by it. There is also the oddity of it - back to that "taboo" as a turn-on thing. Also, the entire human body is to some degree a sexual organ, there are many people that can orgasm from solid "thumping" or drumming of the chest, back, legs, pubis, et cetera. Many people can achieve orgasms through parts of the body that most think are wholly unrelated to sexual activity. So much of orgasms is a mental process that there is pretty much no limitation in methods for achieving them. Why would a woman moan in ecstasy while rubbing her upper arms? (mostly seen in Eastern European models) Firstly: See above. Secondly (and more likely): For the entertainment of the viewers (of the porn) Why would a man or woman keep spitting on a vagina or anus if a bit of lubrication beforehand would do the trick much better and would look much more aesthetically appealing at the same time? See earlier comment about saliva as the best lubrication. Secondly, if it is taboo, it can be extra sexy. Never underestimate the attraction of the exotic and the taboo. Taboo behavior is sometimes very appealing in fantasy, and sometimes shockingly unappealing in reality. Perfect Example: Rape Fantasy. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Plenty of users on here prefer photos - others, like myself, are fond of both and prefer photos in some categories and not others. For avoiding photoshopping, try sites that feature work of specific photographers. AT Kingdom Network (and its sub-sites) often have photographers that do not photoshop their work. You can easily search their sites by the Photographer. For example, one of my favorite sites, ATK Natural & Hairy, features the work of Sean R.. His work is often described either in glowing terms or pure disgust - largely because his photos are extremely crisp and are totally without photoshopping. Every blemish, pimple and scar is extremely visible. I used to dislike his work because the lighting was so harsh that you felt you were looking at autopsy photos rather than pornography, but he has since toned down the glare a bit and the photos have gotten quite fantastic. Everybody's style changes over the years. Petter Hegre's early work (most of which has since been removed from his site, Hegre-Art) was really pretty terrible - bad color correction, bad lighting, repetitive poses. He has improved dramatically over the years. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

A lot of VHS hasn't been transferred to Digital, indeed. That too should be preserved. Though personally I'm more concerned that the film be preserved first, partially because I think it will benefit more than video when it is transferred to digital, but also because I think it is in the most danger of being lost forever.

Hopefully it is more bark than bite. I'm a long ways away from where Sandy is supposed to be, but I'm hoping it doesn't screw up the nice weather we've been having recently, it was 75°F yesterday and it is almost November! In the North Country this is unheard of! Anyway, I hope folks are spared much hassle from the Hurricane. At least it is only Category 2... "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

That's a very good point - I've never really added up the costs for a standard Gonzo movie. They are probably dropping a minimum of nearly $10k each time. Frequently probably more than that. No wonder they sometimes shoot 2 or 3 movies on the same day with the same performers. From a business perspective it makes sense. Artistic integrity, eh, not so much. Still, we just need to convince a company with the studio connections and enough money in the banks that there is a market for Digitally Remastered classic porn. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Expensive - I don't doubt that. A basic, high resolution 2K scan of one 80 minute film at 35mm with sound, costs $6,097.79 through this company. That is with no restoration. I imagine the restoration process will cost more. That said, if you had a monthly membership, released one movie every week or two weeks, that price would spread out across the membership pretty easily. VideoBox could easily afford to create a Digitally Remastered Classic movies premium channel, I think. It is certainly a channel I'd be happy to financially support.

It wouldn't surprise me that some of the content has been lost or there are ownership disputes over it, but some of it has got to be around and available for HD conversion I would think. I'm not arguing that they have to get it on to Blu-ray specifically, post it online for HD streaming perhaps. It seems strange that so many of these movies are being released online or in DVD formats and are clearly just digital conversions of old Video masters, not the original Film masters.

Messmer's recent comment (see above) got me thinking about HD content in general and how most of my Blu-Ray collection consists of Hollywood movies that long predate the digital age. This of course is because they used real film, which has a reasonably high resolution. That made think that much of my absolute favorite porn, that which comes from the 70s and 80s, was frequently shot using film. So the topic question is simply this: Why aren't we seeing high definition, digitally remastered, blu-ray copies of old pornography? Have these old film reels been preserved? Is it simply a lack of demand? Or have these cultural treasures been lost? I, for one, would love to see Marilyn Chambers in "Insatiable" in glorious high definition with proper colour accuracy and all that. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Interesting - I hadn't heard about this.  I really wish the whole Homeland Security agency would be abolished. In fact, I'd rather the whole "homeland" terminology be abolished - it makes America sound a bit like Nazi-Germany and their frequent usage of the term "fatherland" ("Vaterland"). As much as I am an Obama supporter (a big shock, I know), I have been disappointed with some of his militaristic behavior (like those non-discriminating drones) and his comfort with Homeland Security.

AV Idolz is pretty good - updates frequently, and all content is uncensored. However, none of it is in HD last I checked. I hadn't run across Japan Hardcore Movies before, that looks pretty good...

Agreed, Guy Ritchie doesn't shit gold, but Lock, Stock was amazing, Snatch was fun (but basically a bigger budget, less well written version of lock,stock). There has been some movies of his I'd rather forget. The Holmes stuff has been good when Downy Jr. was on screen, but mostly pretty forgettable. I was always surprised that Rock 'n Rolla hasn't gotten much attention, as I thought it was his best film since Lock, stock.
Over-hyping a movie can be a big problem - it is easier to enjoy a crap film if you go into it expecting it to be crap. I'm sure I'd enjoy Smokin' Aces much more in a group / party session where people are commenting on it and watching it intensely only in the really bat-shit crazy scenes. Crank and Crank 2 both work well in that setting, but I think Crank is actually succeeds as a seriously observed film as well, largely because it brings a lot of new ideas to the table while happily and blatantly accepting its genre role. It isn't high drama, but it is an important movie to see if one wants to keep up with the language of film as it is today. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Crank and Crank 2 are intended to be following the rules of a video game (the directors have frequently described it as such) and I'd agree that the concept should have been better communicated. That being the case, Chev Chelios can simply try again anytime he dies, just like how he can use adrenalin, caffeine, or electricity to restore his health.
I did see Smokin' Aces, but was a bit dissapointed by it. You are right that it had a fantastic cast and interesting characters. However I figured out the "twist" plot within the first 10 minutes of the film and I felt the movie sort of got lost in its own "awesomeness". Where Crank succeeds, a concise, driven plot line with a clear, if absurd goal and path to it, Smokin' Aces was sort of a mess. It is almost as if the writers came up with these characters and then sat down in a meeting and came up with amusing suggestions of things for the characters to do. In the end, I feel you ended up with a visually striking movie with a fun cast of actors that was ultimately failed by a boring and unoriginal plot with some really confused writing. Also, it gave a large role to Ben Affleck, which, as a rule, is usually a bad idea. I'll also say I had rather highly anticipated Smokin' Aces - it looked like it was a fun new movie trying to out "Guy Ritchie" Guy Ritchie. I think I'll stick with Lock, Stock as the benchmark for ridiculous, large cast crime chaos movies. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I rather loved that movie; it was by the same guys that directed Crank and Crank 2. Cheesy, but tons of fun. It even had a few musical interludes. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |
