Why do some people put hxxp instead of http when they're giving a link to something? Is there a specific reason for it?

I also noticed that some people, when writing down email addies, they write it this way : layne67 at livejournal dot com instead of layne67@livejournal.com. Is it just a style or something?

And what does "fake-cut" mean exactly?

And since I'm in a wondering mood, I wonder what makes us like or dislike, or feel indifferent towards, the villains on TV and in movies? The actors themselves? The way the characters were written/directed/acted? Something in the villains that strike a chord within you, that you could identify with them?

I hated Krychek. I loved Ruby 1 but hated Ruby 2, loved Alastair 2 but disliked Zachariah immensely. I didn't like Gollum but I think I could sympathize with him. And I didn't mind Bela Talbot when so many hated her!

This brought me to the girl-villains in Flash Forward and 24 ( spoilers to the last episodes )

( Flash Forward 1.18 )

( 24 8.20 )

So I guess with me it's the way the actors played those characters. Katee Sackhoff is such an awesome actress that I cannot not like her even when I should be hating on the character that she played.

But then, Kurt Fuller is an amazing actor but I hateloathedislike Zachariah!

Any particular TV/movie villains that you really love? JR Ewing? Saruman?
