    - while this is true, it is completely irrelevant to my argument - znufrii Dec 29, 09:43 1

      - I think it is. I think he's going to dance to the tune of the unions in alot of instances. Democrats are back in power, if the unions can't make hay - Loyola Dec 29, 09:23 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I do. It's not the headline grabbing increse of tariffs, it's like protectionism by stealth. -- nm - Loyola Dec 29, 09:34 2

  - ...therefore invalidating all of their facts, of course. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 29, 09:11 6
    - not at all, but considering the source is worthwhile to help differentiate fact from opinion presented as fact. -- nm - znufrii Dec 29, 09:18 5
      - what do you think a "think tank" does? -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 09:22 4
        
        I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt that there may actually be some legitimate facts in that article. - znufrii Dec 29, 09:25 3
        
        any analytical article is opinion based on fact. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 09:26 2

Today's Woot looks interesting, but I am confused. If it only holds 500MB of MP3s, what is the 8GB used for? -- (link) - not2fast Dec 29, 08:58 5
- Yeah, I'm thinking about getting it for my daughter, but I can't decide if she'd ever use it since she has an ipod. - pmb Dec 29, 09:07
- Happy Birthday! (Think of it like Pandora 2 Go.) -- nm - JaxSean Dec 29, 09:03 2
  - Thanks. I am not familiar with Pandora. -- nm - not2fast Dec 29, 09:06 1
    - You rate songs as they play, and the "station" begins to "learn" your likes and dislikes. - JaxSean Dec 29, 09:08

So my friend who is getting throttled by Netflix did the "leave one movie in the queue" test to see if it would ship - oblique Dec 29, 08:56 11
- I tend to think there's a little more to this conversation. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 29, 09:08 2
  - He says he didn't use the "well, I'm gonna quit" response. Of course, he may not have been overly friendly in his tone either -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 09:09
  - agreed. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 09:09
- sounds like he's a money-loser for them, and they're trying to get him to quit. -- nm - mafic Dec 29, 09:05
- wow. That's AOL thinking right there. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 29, 09:05
- can the excellence in customer service awards be far from knocking on their door? - Reagen Dec 29, 09:01
- The new BB website is very unwieldy. Takes forever to load most pages now. Hope they fix it soon -- nm - con_carne Dec 29, 09:00
- what was he doing to get throttled? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 08:57 2
  - Nothing specific. I tend to think it's just the way Netflix treats higher volume users. If you turn movies around quickly, they seem to tend to not - oblique Dec 29, 08:58 1
    - Interesting. - tRuMaN Dec 29, 09:02

ST Poll: Next NFL Coach to get fired? -- nm - Beaker - Caveman Runner-up Dec 29, 08:43 19
- Dick Juaron should get sacked imo. Problem is, in Bflo they never find good replacement coaches. -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 09:14 2
  - didn't he just sign an extension? -- nm - Reagen Dec 29, 09:17 1
    - He did in October (and v. quickly after a game where he let a lot of bad plays get called.) I've also heard that - Diva Dec 29, 09:24
- After yesterday: Wade Philips for sure. I could see Gruden get sacked as well -- nm - Jammed Uzi Dec 29, 09:04

      - He's fired after next season when the D takes a step back (Kiffin leaving) -- nm - Strongbad Dec 29, 08:58
      - I agree he's been a dud with the Bucs ever since then, though he did have a couple fine years with the Raiders, to be fair. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 08:56 2

        To be fair, the Bucs aren't exactly the most talented team in the world - Strongbad Dec 29, 09:06
- Has Marvin Lewis joined the fallen yet today? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 29, 08:49
- If Al Davis forgets and tries to fire Lane Kiffin again, does that count? - Reagen Dec 29, 08:47
- Herm Edwards. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 08:47 1
  - probably depends on who the new gm is. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 08:50
you know, most of the crackers I buy aren't open the box, and there's your crackers. there's that protective cracker condom enveloping them. - mafic Dec 29, 08:42 26
- Aren't those only, like, 95% reliable though? -- nm - Spawn Dec 29, 08:59

  - now show us how you do the super hoop part again -- nm - pigby Dec 29, 08:48
- 10 grand in 100's is a not insubstantial wad. I put it to you that there is another cracker box full of crackers in that woman's house! -- nm - Loyola Dec 29, 08:45 2
  - it makes her a crappy saver if there isn't. -- nm - Reagen Dec 29, 08:57 1
    - lousy interest rate, for sure. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 09:03
- but, the box top is still unglued. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 08:43 19
  - maybe, maybe not.if I was crazy enough to hide $10,000 in a cracker box, I might glue the box shut. - mafic Dec 29, 08:48 17
    - Maybe Whole Foods glue gunned it shut. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 29, 08:52 1
      - then wouldn't they notice something inside? the plot thickens. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 09:04
    - Thieves would never think to open a sealed cracker box! -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 29, 08:50 13
      - exactly! but an unsealed one, well who knows what might be hiding in there? -- nm - mafic Dec 29, 08:53 12
        
        Psychos have been known to inject poisons into "sealed" inside packages, that's why the top has to be glued in the first place. - loosilu Dec 29, 08:55 11
        
        doesn't seem like much of a safeguard. why not just inject through the bottom of the box? -- nm - mafic Dec 29, 08:58 1
        
        *shrug* -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 09:01
        
        You can't just poke the needle through the cardboard? - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 29, 08:58
        
        They also put razor blades into apples on Halloween and kill 1,200 kids a year with their fruity blades of doom. Fucking psychos. -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 08:57 7
        
        those are urban legends. the injected poison is real. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 08:57 6
        
        This I know, because one year my sister was poisoned Tylenol for Halloween. - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 29, 09:00
        
        And people demented enough to do this aren't smart enough to not get defeated by a cardboard Cheez-its box? -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 08:59 4
        
        The point is, if you are a store, you don't put an unglued box back on the shelf. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 09:01 2
        
        We don't know that they did that. Why would someone buy an unglued box? -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 09:02 1
        
        something is totally fishy. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 09:03
        
        They wouldn't be the first psycho with a hot glue gun. - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 29, 09:01
    - It's not like she'd be the first old lady who owned a hot glue gun. -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 08:48
