Ralph Macchio looks *young*. Like 'drinking the blood of virgins' young. -- nm - Diva Apr 12, 13:20 2
- i said that too. it's freakish. -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 13:27 1
  - I wanted to go check for the evil ugly portrait in his attic. - Trish Apr 12, 13:35

Jim? Jim? Jim? - Trish Apr 12, 13:10 2
- check yo gmail. -- nm - Jim Apr 12, 13:19 1
  - Got it. You're a funny man. -- nm - Trish Apr 12, 13:36
LIR: IIRC one reason magazine ad revenue hasn't taken a huge hit along with newspapers is that they make it easy to target a specific audience. - con_carne Apr 12, 13:08 1
- Also, when computing ad rates, magazines depend on the number of subscribers. Why else do you think they give away free subscriptions all the time. - Trish Apr 12, 13:12
New CNN poll finds Trump tied for first (with Huckabee) for GOP nomination... -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 12, 13:04 38
- The Indy Star ran an editorial that said Mitch HAD to run to save us from terrible Repub. candidates. -- nm - Amy Apr 12, 13:20 7
  - ugh....he won't get the Teacher unions. -- nm - Remlik Apr 12, 13:22 1
    - He's a Republican, he's not getting the teachers unions ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 13:25
  - If you're a potential guy, you have to run now, worse case for you, you run competently and get the GOP "He's due" bounce in 2016. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 13:22 4
    - I don't think that's worst case. Worst case is you pick a joke of running mate, lose the respect of moderate voters, and become a punchline. - musubi Apr 12, 13:26 1
      - Well, worse case for a viable future I should say - Will Hunting Apr 12, 13:29
    - nix The Donald for a minute. Romeny is the "He's Due" guy this year. and Pawlenty in 2016. at this point. -- nm - Remlik Apr 12, 13:23 1
      - Romney is a Mormon who believes in a form of socialized medicine. Ain't gonna happen. -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 13:24
- Won't the Tea Partiers reject him once they see how the banks bailed him out repeatedly? - Remlik Apr 12, 13:18 5
  - 1) It's not like there is a uniform vision, thought process or priciple to TPers. 2) Even if there were, it still would bother them - musubi Apr 12, 13:22 1
    - Err, *wouldn't* bother them. (nm) - musubi Apr 12, 13:23
  - [deleted]
  - Sure, all they have to do is make an easy logical inference. Oh, wait... -- nm - David Apr 12, 13:20
  - Those tea partiers always do the reasonable thing! :) -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 13:20
- Who was the STer who commented how much of a circus 2012 was going to be? Yeah, that. -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 13:16 4
  - I will be disappointed in no Republican candidate dresses up in makeup and a clown costume. - David Apr 12, 13:17 3
    - So what would you call it? President Lady GaGa, or Lady President GaGa? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:22 2
      - First Lady Diva Gaga -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 13:25
      - Personality-less Cherbot V 2.012. -- nm - David Apr 12, 13:24
- *giggle* -- nm - David Apr 12, 13:13
- The GOP establishment must be *so* pissed with Trump. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 12, 13:10 4
  - Nah, they're thinking the same as the Democrats....look at the attenion whore. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 13:18
  - I can't imagine being very put out with anyone after having voted for Sarah Palin. -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 13:17 2
    - Seriously. How pissed were they at McCain? -- nm - mara Apr 12, 13:17 1
      - A gnat. I might have a problem if the GOP nominated an insect of some kind. -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 13:19
- [deleted]
- clearly this is organised Democrat sabotage -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 13:05 11
  - nah, Trump is just that much of an idiot. Have you ever watched him on Apprentice. -- nm - Jovian Apr 12, 13:16
  - The Democrats can't organize around their own policies...and they're smart enough to rig the GOP polling? :) -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 13:14
  - I think it's effing hilarious. -- nm - Trish Apr 12, 13:14
  - As far as I can tell, Romney would do best to just pack it in. Clearly, any reasonable alternative to him will prevail. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 13:09 7
    - I don't think he's badly positioned, mysel. -- nm - mara Apr 12, 13:16 1
      - I dunno. I threw a few bucks on him to win the nomination a couple of months ago and I felt pretty confident he would get it then. Far less so now. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 13:19
    - Looking at the rest of the list, there aren't many reasonable alternatives sticking their hand up -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 13:13 4
      - Not yet, but at some point one of the more reasonable alternatives will emerge and underdog factor will kick in. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 13:17 1
        
        Huckabee's arguably a bigger name with his story and his tv shows....it's a die-hard election - Will Hunting Apr 12, 13:19
      - It's almost like polling for an election a full 19 months out is... pointless, or something. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:15 1
        
        The polls are about the primaries, which begin in eight months. By this stage in 2007, all the major 2008 candidates had announced their runs -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 13:21
There is apparently a 3 TB problem in Windows. The virtual limit is 2.19 TB, but it can be tackled with both hardware and software. -- (link) - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 12, 13:04 1
- Alternately, Windows will find and install the appropriate software for you when you install the drive. - David Apr 12, 13:16
One of the first things I would do is visit Chernobyl. (right after I dropped whatever Disney wanted me too, to spend a week in the castle suite) -- nm - Jovian Apr 12, 13:01 10
- why Chernobyl? -- nm - sycor Apr 12, 13:10 8
  - omg I want to visit the exclusion zone badly. -- nm - Jovian Apr 12, 13:15
  - There was a website of some lady who motorcycled into the area and described it. Sounds fascinating as hell. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 13:11 6
    - wiki says her account is fake. or at least embellished. -- nm - sycor Apr 12, 13:20 2
      - It sure was an appealing and entertaining story, though -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:21 1
        
        if you enter the resticted area and they discover it you are in trouble - Danedukenuuk Apr 12, 13:23

      - it wasn't that long ago they announced guided tours -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 12, 13:17 1

      - Beck's goes pink with Hello Kitty Beer -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Apr 12, 13:09

      - as discussed: do not like belgians. next week? belgian tasting. will not go. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 12, 13:06 2

        the one that kills me is when people from small places visit a big city and say 'everyone is so rude, no one talks to you'. - Andie Apr 12, 13:26

  - a specific, clearly marked, car on NE Amtrak trains where no cell phones, electronic devices are allowed to be used -- nm - moles Apr 12, 12:47 21
    - I think it's just voice that's prohibited. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:13
    - I want to go to there -- nm - con_carne on his next vacay Apr 12, 12:48 19
      - they're pretty great until some fucktard breaks the sugar bowl -- nm - moles Apr 12, 12:49 18
        
        I know that cell-phone signal jammers are effective and inexpensive. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:00 17
        
        I think it's also a federal crime to use one, now -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:13 1

        best typo of the week. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:18
        
        He mispoke. Amtrak says "Customers may not use any devices making noise.." -- (link) - mara Apr 12, 13:13
        
        my friend M takes taht car when she visits from NYC, and she emails and texts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:12 7
        
        [shrug] I have no idea what the actual policies are, I'm just going on what's written here. - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:14 5
        
        M says there is plenty of shaming. When someone makes noise, the other passengers get pissed. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:15 4
        
        it's like a diogenes club on rails! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:17
        
        "get pissed at" is not the same thing. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:17 2
        
        they take action. They ask them to leave. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:18 1
        
        Still missing the concept, but that's okay. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:21
        
        In fact, IIRC, she uses the free wifi on the train. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:13
        
        ...so, either Amtrak or dawson needs to be a little proactive here. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:02
- No screaming in the quiet car -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 12:46
