hey facebook singles ads: the traditional method is to have pictures of *attractive* people in the ad. you should look into this. -- nm - mafic Mar 29, 22:33 4

How can Randy Johnson not have made enough money to not have to do horrible hair dye commercials? -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 22:20 3
- and this relates to my post above. shouldn't they have someone maybe not terrifying peddling their product? -- nm - mafic Mar 29, 22:40
- maybe he just really believes in the product. -- nm - mafic Mar 29, 22:39

Game of Thrones nerds: picture of GRRM's editor holding the monster sized Dance of Dragons manuscript (nmblink) - ralph wiggum Mar 29, 21:43 10
- We are such total dorks. - Trish Mar 29, 21:48 8
  - So bitter. I have no idea when the Australian TV Bastards are going to give me Game of Thrones. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 29, 21:51 4
    - Is "Australian TV Bastards" the name of the predominent network? - Trish Mar 29, 22:02 3
      - It's more a grab bag title for all of the jerkwads responsible for network programming here. - ralph wiggum Mar 29, 22:07 2
        
        Do you get BBC stuff faster than US stuff? - Trish Mar 29, 22:37 1
        
        it's highly variable, same as the US stuff. Dr. Who gets here right away, but then so does the amazing race. - mafic Mar 29, 22:52
  - nah, you're kind of cool - moles Mar 29, 21:50 2
    - I don't even know what Game of Thrones is about, but it has Sean Bean starring in it. - Trish Mar 29, 21:58 1

Private pension notice for 2010: - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:32
iTunes is the suck. Moving files from XP to Win 7 has been impossibly, mind-bogglingly difficult. - TWuG Mar 29, 20:57 46
- i'm not trying to make you depressed here but does iTunes work with cloud computing? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:50 2
  - No. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 21:56 1
    - Apple is the new IBM - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 22:01
- I had no trouble moving the files, but then I clicked the wrong thing, and iTunes decided to duplicate/triplicate all my music. -- nm - mafic Mar 29, 21:39 2
  - Oh, yeah, I had that. That was fun. But it still wouldn't recognize over 1000 songs. I'm trying something different now. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 21:40
  - heck i do that sometimes in WMP too i hate windows when it does what i say and not what i am thinking of instead:) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:40
- I bought the windows xp transfer cable - eag Mar 29, 21:10
- To the cloud! -- nm - Mop on Evo Mar 29, 21:04
- Its actually more to do with how iTunes was storing the music on you XP machine and where -- nm - Karl_S Mar 29, 21:03 24
  - If someone could point me to a "find all music files and import" button, I'd be ever so grateful. - TWuG Mar 29, 21:05 23
    - Open up windows media player (in Win 7), click on Library, choose "import all files". - Trish Mar 29, 21:34 14
      - Oh wait, I didn't realize you wanted to KEEP iTUNES, disregard the info above and do this: - Trish Mar 29, 21:45 8
        
        Ah. I see a potential fix in this advice. iTunes won't search my external drive, but if I move those files ANYWHERE on the new machine, then it - TWuG Mar 29, 21:48 3
        
        Ooooh, you should maybe take a look at WMP again. When I dumped itumes, it was because it had finally gotten the organizational abilities of itunes. - Trish Mar 29, 21:56 2
        
        I just looked around at WMP and half of what you suggested isn't even possible with the copy I have. - TWuG Mar 29, 22:17 1
        
        Download WMP 11. When you get it, right click on the upper bar, go to view and click "show menubar". Then you can go into tools/options and have your - Trish Mar 29, 22:52
        
        microsoft loves directories - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:46 3
        
        honestly this is more iOS behavior - Reagen Mar 29, 21:52
        
        I'm quite sure that Windows 7 means "you don't get your files until you've dug down 7 levels, bitch!" -- nm - Trish Mar 29, 21:49 1
        
        ohh that might even be trues likewise MS Phone series 7 means you have to press 7 stupid keys before it works :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:51
      - I may try this. But WMP is actually way worse for *organizing* music than iTunes. Plus, how will I get files onto my iPod then? -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 21:39 4
        
        plug your ipod in with a usb cable, hit synch, and you can put everything or just one song on your ipod. Jeez, stop being scared, you have 3-4 people - Trish Mar 29, 23:07
        
        Hmm? I find WMP far more intuitive for sorting music. - Reagen Mar 29, 21:43 1
        
        it certainly does what i need but then i only buy CD's rip them to the disk and use it from there - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:48
        
        i just plug in the player and sync them (i select the albums i want first ofcourse) - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:41
    - dir *.mp* > copy C:\music\*.* -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:21 7
      - Do as Dane said above, then in iTunes go to add files to library and select them all. - Karl_S Mar 29, 21:25 6
        
        I have *NO* *IDEA* what he said. I am functionally illeterate when it comes to computers. If I do not have EXACT step-by-step directions, I'm lost. - TWuG Mar 29, 21:31 4
        
        open filemanager in XP - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:37 3
        
        Ah. My XP machine is shut down. I have the files I need on my external drive. It should be as simplas as c&p ing them into the Win7 iTunes director - TWuG Mar 29, 21:42 2
        
        Try this: File>Add Folder to Library... - psilotum Mar 29, 22:24
        
        and how about WMP on Win7? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:45
        
        it would have worked perfectly (almost i think) in the good ole xDos days - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:29
- copypod makes it super easy. And the Windows Transfer cable moved over the entire library on a new computer -- nm - Remlik Mar 29, 21:01 12
  - I saved everything I needed to my external drive, then tried to copy the files into iTunes on the new machine. What I have is a mess. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 21:04 11
    - copypod is $20 and is well worth it. The Windows Trasfer takes a little longer but will do it as well. -- nm - Remlik Mar 29, 21:09 10
      - Can you link me to the correct program? a search on "copypod" brings up a number of free things, mostly "copytrans" -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 21:12 9
        
        It's a trap! -- nm - Qale Mar 29, 21:22
        
        copytrans is it. -- nm - Remlik Mar 29, 21:14 7
        
        copypod is a program they make. -- nm - Remlik Mar 29, 21:15 6
        
        here -- (link) - Remlik Mar 29, 21:16 5
        
        Thanks. Trying it now. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 21:24 4
        
        And... squat. It'll transfer from an iPod. It'll transfer *to* my external drive, but I see nothing that'll allow me to transfer *from* my external -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 21:33 3
        
        Load everything onto your Ipod. Then Transfer from your Ipod to your new Itunes.... - Remlik Mar 29, 21:36 2
        
        Sigh. That means setting the XP machine back up. Which I'll do, but jeebus, this is way, way - TWuG Mar 29, 21:45 1
        
        well just do that. It's ultimately the easiest way -- nm - Remlik Mar 29, 21:47
wow...Lindsay...just..um....she looks older than me.... -- (link) - Remlik Mar 29, 20:55 2
- who is that again? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:11
- I didn't think that was possible, but she does. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 20:56
Well, that was a waste of my time! - Mop on Evo Mar 29, 20:46 1
- Ducks *are* loud. -- nm - Mop on Evo Mar 29, 20:57

- Mmmm. I love me some swimmer girls. -- nm - Dr.Vermin cannot begin to choose Mar 29, 21:40 5
  - I think the swim team part of this photo was debunked awhile back - Reagen Mar 29, 21:54 4
    - I envision you strolling through shopping malls, casually informing passing children of Santa's nonexistence. - Dr.Vermin Mar 29, 22:11 2
      - Also, the stripper's not really in love with you, Vermin. -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 22:48 1
        
        The car salesman? doesn't care about your kid. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 22:50
    - honestly, I swim several times a week and totally agree. the hardcore swimmers look like athletes. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 21:57
- The one with the really short hair looks like she's about to cut a bitch. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 29, 20:37 3
  - yup, murder in her eyes -- nm - Facto Mar 29, 20:38 2
    - Clearly doesn't want to be there. She's here to SWIM, dammit! -- nm - Mop on Evo Mar 29, 20:41 1
      - I suspect she didn't join the team because she wanted to bond over stripper heels and cubic zirconia belly piercings. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 29, 20:43
- Back row, third from left since she dares to be different. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 20:34 3
  - different how - the medal? -- nm - Facto Mar 29, 20:46 2
    - Those are the strings of the bikini. The top has ones of those O things in the center. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 20:50 1
      - You are right. However, there are several variations in the bikini tops, and not only which side the letter T is on, but more like as with your girl, - Facto Mar 29, 21:01
- The one that I find the most remarkable, in several ways.. she's no 2 from the right, in between bottom and middle rows - Facto Mar 29, 20:18
- I love how the first thing I think is "ugh bully betton rings were so in back then" -- nm - MDH Mar 29, 20:13
- Hard to choose.. But bottom, far left.. middle far right is remarkable also -- nm - Facto Mar 29, 20:09
- I change my answer. Bottom row 4th from the left. -- nm - Bacon Mar 29, 20:07 2
  - You should all be stripped of your boob badges for not noticing the "t's" are on different boobs. -- nm - BAD Mar 29, 20:30 1

for mafic: lent is definitely NOT considered a saacrament in catholicism, and preganat women - loosilu on BB Mar 29, 19:57 20
- anything that goes a little bit against matrealisem and glutony (or just slowws down tje ever increasing demands) can only be applauded - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 21:18
- Your IM is not correct. Acts of Penance (which personal abstention falls under) are not strictly traditional. - Stephen of Ireland Mar 29, 20:47 9
  - so, I checked it out, and no. Fasting and abstinence from meat are required under Acts of Penance. Personal abstinence is an option, not required. -- (link) - loosilu Mar 29, 21:27 6
    - It's like you're arguing something other than what I said just to prove to yourself (or everyone else) just how right you are. - Stephen, American Mar 29, 22:22
    - (which, since I check it out years and years ago, I already knew) -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 21:27 4
      - Remember how you wanted us to tell you when you are being socially clueless? nm - ralph wiggum Mar 29, 21:31 3
        
        She is having quite the day. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 22:23
        
        um, yes. - loosilu Mar 29, 21:34 1
        
        But in this case, you were wrong, but you couldn't give it up. -- nm - Trish Mar 29, 23:14
  - I want a linky! -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 20:50
  - huh, the nick change didn't stick on this computer. -- nm - Stephen, American Mar 29, 20:49
- Um, sorry, but it actually is part of the sacrament of pennance. - Trish Mar 29, 20:44 1
  - heh :) -- nm - Stephen of Ireland Mar 29, 20:48
- yeah, I get that. I know lots of people who aren't catholic that give things up for lent, because they find the sacrifice meaningful. - mafic Mar 29, 20:02 6
  - Yeah, the baby doesn't want anything. Just nut up and say you want some damn ice cream. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 29, 20:04 5
    - besides, if the baby neEds calcium he'll just take it out of mom's bone tissue. - loosilu on BB Mar 29, 20:17 4

        I'll give her whatever the hell she wants whenever she wants it, because she's having (presumably) my baby. -- nm - mafic Mar 29, 20:34

What the heck is a "cinnamon girl", anyway... ? -- nm - Facto Mar 29, 19:56 13
- no idea -- nm - Cortez the Killer Mar 29, 20:02
- in the liner noters for his greatest hits, I think he said she was a groupie. -- nm - loosilu on BB Mar 29, 19:58 11
  - But why cinnamon?? I just ate a bunch of cinnamon, btw.. coincidence -- nm - Facto Mar 29, 19:59 10
    - a freckle faved ginger -- nm - Remlik Mar 29, 20:03 9
      - which just shows his good taste. -- nm - loosilu on BB Mar 29, 20:20 1
        
        mine is -- nm - Facto Mar 29, 20:36
      - m'ok - I think I get it - Facto Mar 29, 20:11 5
        
        i think NY actually suggested the girl had dark skin. - loosi Mar 29, 20:24 4
        
        that makes more sense - same colour as cinnamon - Facto Mar 29, 20:37 3
        
        oh, they're dominant all right. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 20:44 2
        
        Well, more so in summer... -- nm - Facto Mar 29, 21:02 1
