Bad (but catchy) songs

A song can be good or bad. The good songs can be either good from all the possible perspectives (no example comes to mind) or can be a bad but catchy song. The most common type is the last one.

Removing PDF restrictions

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time – I’ve seen some trailers and I think it will be great!

Iron Man 2 – Still haven’t seen it :(

Shrek Forever After – although I heard it isn’t so good as the previous…

Robin Hood – don’t really like Russell Crowe, but I like Robin Hood

Clash of the Titans – as recommended by Dragoş

The Last Airbender – One of the few animes I enjoy 8-O

Hungry fox

I usually use Chrome, as my main browser, but use Firefox to post. A week ago Firefox started acting weird. It hangs in the background, even if it seems closed. Today wanting to open it, I went to Task Manager and foun this:

Take a look at the shitload of memory it was eating :waitwut: .
