Over here health-care is free, over in the US you have to pay for everything. Not trying to cause trouble but its truly a rip of over there, brother had to get medicine when he was sick over in the US and it cost him $120US dollars, while over here it would have cost $5 dollars for a bunch of tables. Feel sorry for you guys,Same thing happened to me a while ago with the hard drive. It sucks ass... Is it really $2000 bucks for the teeth? In Aus i think we get that stuff free.
This reminds me about Sicko by Michael more, great movie/Documentary

And no problem about calling the US a rip off, because it is, if it wasn't for family I would move out of america in a heartbeat I don't like being in the most expensive country, run by idiots that's hated by every other country.
And yes, Sicko by Michael Moore, if anyone is interested in seeing the difference between america, and every other country's healthcare then check that movie out.
SomGuy, yes I don't know if just getting normal teeth out is that much, but I know 4 wisdom teeth, 2 being impacted, and needing gas to knock me out and surgery to be done in my mouth, it's going to cost that much. And also since I don't have healthcare I basically had to wait until the doctor wasn't busy because it's healthcare before non-healthcare.
Louis, I'd blame it on more than just Bush, I'd blame it on the whole american system and the way it's ran.
But enough about that back to working on this model either in a little while or tomorrow. Not sure yet.

Actually, when I was there (in Lansing, MI) a year ago, everything was a lot cheaper than here in Sweden. And the salaries in US, at least if you have a degree, is a lot higher too.Originally posted by Rhetoric Camel

Anyways, I think we're getting a bit out of topic here...

But needless to say I need to try and figure out how to fix my usb without losing everything now. So now the panic has really started.
Computer problems like crazy lately! Hopefully this isn't a foresight to my wisdom teeth, haha.

There are still a couple more options, it's just waiting on money and patience.
The new computer thing is already in my mind, but I have to take a little money out of that stash to try and get my current computer up and running again. I think I'm going to attempt building my own computer. Although recent computer problems kind of scare me about building my own computer.
Well I'm hoping by thursday or friday I'll be back up and running on a computer that doesn't have these specs:
1.04GHz, 256mb Ram, actually 512, because I decided to up it a little bit so it's not extremely laggy.

I know it's not much of a pose but it's something other than the t pose and it was quick and easy enough to do.

Until I started test animations. When the leg moves the pants go with it but parts of the leg end up going through the pants and showing. I've tried all types of things to fix it and I can't figure out how to get it to work properly. I heard it was going to be a pain to do but I wasn't expecting this much. Oh and also when the leg goes back to normal position in the animation and the pants follow, they end up getting all messed up and sloppy looking.
Here is a picture of what I mean.

any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll post a playblast animation of what I mean in a few minutes to also help. Along with the settings I'm using for the cloth.
