Dell is so weird. I get a memory failure on a server like 6 months ago, they replace the motherboard and memory - oblique Dec 29, 13:09 2

- No way I could do Jeopardy!, but I'll try anyway. -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 12:56 1
  - Was it Diva who said she's been on Jeopardy? I've read a few accounts. It's stressful and your brain just melts. You'd forget your own name, sometimes -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 13:57

        Probably some, but it's not like that's the only step to getting on the show. - TFox Dec 29, 12:59 7
        
        in the FAQ's it mentions that speed in answering is not taken into account -- nm - Strongbad Dec 29, 13:00 6
        
        Interesting. It totally should be. -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 13:01 5
        
        If you make it to the third round your speed will be tested then. Too many variables that they can't control with the first round online test. -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 13:06 4
        
        True enough. I'd still think... I dunno. - TFox Dec 29, 13:08 3
        
        It could also imply a slow ISP or hookup. -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 13:09 2
        
        Kid, it could also imply your face. -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 13:10 1

      - disagree. She can't take a seat without a Democrat kissing the chair first. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 12:55 10
        
        How do you mean? -- nm - Loyola Dec 29, 12:55 9
        
        It's one of the most magical names in the Democratic party. She is no outsider. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 12:57 8
        
        Somehow I don't think her father was killed because he represented the establishment. -- nm - Loyola Dec 29, 12:59 7
        
        you realize that was 45 years ago, right? -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 13:00 6
        
        Nonetheless, it's an event 45 years ago that was the creation of one of the most magical names in US history. - Loyola Dec 29, 13:05 5
        
        yes, and that is why she is not an outsider. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 13:06 4
        
        What?! What is why she is no outsider? -- nm - Loyola Dec 29, 13:08 3
        
        *wonders if you're pulling her leg at this point* -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 13:16 2
        
        :) fine. Then we agree that while she may or may not be a political insider, there will be a view held among a sizable portion of the populace that - Loyola Dec 29, 13:28 1

      - He's less than he should be. He's got the physical tools, but he's an underachiever in college. I hate banking on those guys in the pros. - David Dec 29, 12:47 2
        
        I hadn't seen your reaction yet. What do you think of the Kiffins running UT? -- nm - Inigo Dec 29, 12:49 1
