I need to buy a laptop. any good advice, ST? It's going to be loaded with pictures and work files. I'm leaning towards a dell studio T5800 -- nm - CQ Jan 3, 16:56 11
- First consideration: screen size. Which is more important: portability or screen real estate? - psilotum Jan 3, 17:01 4
  - If this is to be both portable and your home desktop, consider if they have a docking device - Talaban Jan 3, 17:45 2
    - I think everything except the monitor could be on a usb hub. -- nm - psilotum Jan 3, 18:38

Raise your hand if you wince every time NBC mentions LT's injury. -- nm - David Jan 3, 16:53 5
- I can't wait to hear some people ripping him for being a pussy. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:54 4
  - But what if we call him a pussy for totally different reasons? -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 16:56 3
    - Much like calling Bill Clinton a sleaze, the nonsense has made the valid reasons invalid. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:59 2
      - Well I have to call him something, Will. - TFox Jan 3, 17:00 1
        
        That's better. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 3, 17:08
LYC/IYC - Excitable Boy has added some new music to his myspace -- (link) - Guy Jan 3, 16:51 1
- (thats me for those that dont know) -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 17:07
Now if Indy wins by 3 I win $15.40. -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 16:49
I think considering that no one thought the Falcons would get anywhere near the playoffs this year David should be proud of his team. - Stephen Jan 3, 16:46 6
- unless Ryan is a Rex Grossman. -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 16:47 5
  - did Rex throw for 3440 yards in his rookie season? -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 16:52 1
    - I think it's kind of amazing (and sad) that no rookie had ever completed 20 passes in a playoff game before today. -- nm - David Jan 3, 16:54
  - I honestly don't see that happening. -- nm - Stephen Jan 3, 16:47 2
    - The NFC South is going to be tested to the max next year - Stewie Jan 3, 17:09
    - I think that as long as Mularkey returns, this team is going to be a force for the next couple of years. - David Jan 3, 16:53
Rats. - David Jan 3, 16:45 7
- If Ryan had gotten the ball back, I think he would have gotten them a touchdown. -- nm - Inigo Jan 3, 16:48 1
  - I felt confident about that since Arizona's DBs were struggling, but our defense just wasn't ready this yet. - David Jan 3, 16:51
- until that 1st... i was terrified that the Cardinals would blow it -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 16:47 1
  - That was such a bad play to bite on the under route and leave the TE alone on a streak. Ah well. -- nm - David Jan 3, 16:54
- The fact they made it this far year is a good thing. -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 16:46 2
  - Yeah, Joey was right. I was freerolling with this game. - David Jan 3, 16:48 1
    - let it be so! (regarding T. Jackson) -- nm - rollo Jan 3, 17:18
Need some help from the TTIS department and/or nubby if he's around...so we're working on the science projects. - Jim Jan 3, 16:43 17
- CO2 also lowers the pH. You could measure the pH using strips if you can't access a meter. - psilotum Jan 3, 17:10
- It's not necessarily more CO2 -- it could be a combination of additives that releases CO2 more quickly. - ReluctantCynic Jan 3, 17:08 3
  - The balloon idea is a great one. -- nm - nubby Jan 3, 17:13 2
    - Yeah...but we're kinda looking forward to the spewage. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 3, 17:14 1
      - Do both, and see if it correlates! -- nm - nubby Jan 3, 17:14
- Propulsion? - nubby Jan 3, 17:07 7
  - Dude...that's the kind of thinking I'm looking for. I just emailed you too... - Jim Jan 3, 17:08 5
    - Also, your intuition is right. More spewage = more carbination = takes longer to go flat. - nubby Jan 3, 17:10 4
      - See...this is EXACTLY what we needed. How would we list you in the bibliography? :) -- nm - Jim Jan 3, 17:12 3
        
        "Personal correspondence." :) -- nm - nubby Jan 3, 17:14 2
        
        Very much appreciate the help. (From everyone). The propulsion thing and the more time to go flat will do perfectly. -- nm - Jim Jan 3, 17:15 1
        
        Any time. -- nm - nubby Jan 3, 17:20
  - (We had a high school student build a rocket with soda and mints last year.) -- nm - nubby Jan 3, 17:07
- i think theres a few factors - the amount of CO2 - how each can is shaken (difficult to make consistent by hand) and the shape/integrity of the can -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 17:02 2
  - Well...assuming all things are equal. Example, Coke and Diet Coke... - Jim Jan 3, 17:07
  - If you can somehow standardize the amount of shaking, that would be great. - psilotum Jan 3, 17:07
- *secretly puts mentos into soda #2* -- nm - CQ Jan 3, 16:53
now if the Colts just destroy the Chargers, it will be a perfect day -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 16:41 16
- As you wish. -- nm - Manning in Batman voice Jan 3, 16:53
- So you didn't leave MD, you were ran out? - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 3, 16:47 4
  - I wouldn't worry about Indy. You won't ever get a chance to play them. - TFox Jan 3, 16:53 1
    - I think it unlikely as well, but they worry me more than any other playoff team. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 3, 17:13
  - if you're the champion, you beat all comers. i hate the Chargers -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 16:48 1
    - I was suggesting you were run out for rooting for Indy. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 3, 16:52
- It would be more fun to see Billy Volek lead the Chargers to victory. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 3, 16:44 3
  - Only if he celebrated with Rivers' head at the end of a sharp spear. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 16:45 2
    - Leave my FF MVP alone please and thank you :) -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 16:50 1
      - I don't mind leaving his arm alone if we can just carve out his voicebox. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 16:54
- you home? -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 16:43 5
  - i am. thanks for the book! -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 16:44 4
    - *phew* wanted to make sure you got it. You read the inscription inside? -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 16:45 3
      - i didn't see that. cool! - pigby Jan 3, 16:47 2
        
        We had a funny conversation about you over it. Roger was a very gracious man, his only fault was picking Supes over Bats.... -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 16:50 1
        
        I assure everyone he's talking about a different Roger -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:55
It's over. Now I can make another wrong pick to continue my streak. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 3, 16:41
Giants gotta be hoping they see Arizona not Philadelphia -- nm - Stewie Jan 3, 16:41 3
- Eagles are awful too. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 16:43 2
  - Eagles play hit or miss. Whereas the Cardinals are mostly miss. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:51
  - You never know if Westbrook is healthy till the game starts, but when he is they're dangerous - Stewie Jan 3, 16:48
guy: It's not Hamas that Zeitgeist was talking about, it's Israel. Israel has nukes. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 16:39 5
- You know what I hate about Israel? - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:43 2
  - not in context with the Bible or Torah. :) -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 16:46 1
    - it's Irony Guy! -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:50
- I think he was being ironic. - psilotum Jan 3, 16:41 1
  - yep. since Israel seems to do the most of the random, rocket fire into civilian neighborhoods -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 16:43
Sorry David. - Spawn Jan 3, 16:38 1
- Thanks, I'll return the favor in 20 minutes. -- nm - David Jan 3, 16:50
wow. the Wall-E hatey on B2 surpises me. - Guy Jan 3, 16:37 13
- I'm baffled by the idea that it would only deserve a nomination if it was the best Pixar film ever - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 3, 16:42 5
  - I've heard the argument come up before with directors. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 3, 17:10
  - Scorcese would be fistfucked out of his Gangs of NY love if that were the case. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 16:44 1
    - As he should be. You can see in the 2000's how desperate Oscar was to reward him - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:46
  - The rule seems to be "X made three better films, so we'll give him the Oscar this time" -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:43 1
    - Except for Pixar...or then there is the "this guy died...let's nominate him" -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 3, 16:45
- word - Spawn Jan 3, 16:40
- My least favorite thing about Wall-E is this... - Cuzzin Todd Jan 3, 16:40 2
  - saying "Unworthy. Trite, cliched story" is though -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:41 1
    - yep -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 16:44
- I think it's got a wide disparity in quality between the 2 plots, it's my 2nd favorite Pixar, but I don't think it'd be Best Pic worthy imo. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:39
- I don't know if I would call it my favourite (since I also like Incredibles and Monsters Inc quite a bit), but it was very very good -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 16:38 1
  - Finding Nemo is a close second for me -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 16:38
*gives the Falcons their home version of the Super Bowl Game* -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 16:37
Lawyer Milloy stayed too long -- nm - Stewie Jan 3, 16:35
FIRST DOWN!!!! -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 16:33 1
- just terrible defensive play -- nm - Gwaahjo Jan 3, 16:35
Arizona finished the regular season at 9-7, pixie. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 3, 16:29 2
- you're right, that's much better -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 16:30 1
  - It's a game better, but it's also a winning record. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 3, 16:36
That was impressive. -- nm - Inigo Jan 3, 16:25
Hah! The National Society of Film Critics Best Picture is both Animated and a Documentary. (though then they took it out of the Non-Fiction category) - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 3, 16:24 6
- At least Flight of the Red Balloon didn't win. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:30 4
  - I haven't seen it but the indieWIRE/Village Voice critics poll is my favorite year-end poll. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 3, 16:38 3
    - I was worried about seeing Silent Light yesterday as it seemed like another pretentious film critic fave - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:42 2
      - Haven't seen Silent Light, but I like Reygadas in general. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 3, 16:43 1
        
        I HATED Battle in Heaven with a passion but this is a much stronger film - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:46
- You've gotta be kidding me... Waltz With Bashir put me to sleep... TWICE! -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:29
You know what? I still like The Golden Compass... not sure why everyone was down on it. - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:22 15
- Because it ate all the dicks, contained the most boring overexplanation of backstory ever, and never didn't suck. - TFox Jan 3, 16:36 3
  - And yet it kicked Transformers ass for the FX Oscar... go figure. :) -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:44 2
    - Woohoo, it had some boring talking animals who were far more interesting than a single human in the film. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 16:46 1
      - I thought it was as good or better than the first two Harry Potters in fact. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:57
- Cause it was Christian? -- nm - lileve Jan 3, 16:25 9
  - the opposite -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:26 8
    - people were down on it because it wasn't christian enough? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 16:29 7
      - (spoils) - Roger More Jan 3, 16:34 1
        
        And yet the lead villain is Catholic in real life. -- nm - lileve Jan 3, 16:51
      - The books had anti-God undercurrents... I don't think they were in the movie. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:31 4
        
        hrm. I'd only ever heard the series held up as a pro-christian one. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 16:36 3
        
        Um... no, quite the opposite. If Christians were reading it, it was to keep an eye on 'the devil" :) -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:43
        
        the Narnia books by CS Lewis certainly -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:40 1
        
        oh, crap, that's w hat I did. I mixed up Golden Compass with Prince Caspian. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 17:35
- I enjoyed it on DVD and wouldn't mind a sequel but probably wouldn't see it again - Roger More Jan 3, 16:24
Does this board still roll with 150 or has that changed? -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:21 1
- Obviously.. that was rhetorical :) -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:21
