Argh. I just got another gmail warning that my account was being accessed from germany. W.T.F. I've changed my password 3 times in 2 days. -- nm - Amy May 23, 07:31 10
- Yeah, I just went throuh this too. Click the link at the bottom that tells you about activity on the account - mafic May 23, 07:53 1
  - And change to "always log in using a secure connection." -- nm - mafic May 23, 07:56
- change the security question> -- nm - mara May 23, 07:37
- You might have a keystroke trojan. Run a thorough virus scan. -- nm - Bacon May 23, 07:33 2
  - I'm on the work network now so it should be clean. I can't even run my own scans. -- nm - Amy May 23, 07:34 1
    - Ah, check the one at home too. Anywhere you log into gmail. -- nm - Bacon May 23, 07:35
- Are you using any other services that connect to your gmail account? I used to get this alot when logging on to passpack - oblique May 23, 07:31 3
  - My gmail is a log in for some places--but with completely different passwords. I don't use my gmail password anywhere else. -- nm - Amy May 23, 07:33 2

Got an unexpected gift from my parents recently. Looking to make the HDTV plunge. I know that 120 vs 240 isn't really a big deal (or is it?) but do - oblique May 23, 07:23 8
- I got this Samsung for my gf recently. The picture is outstanding - decline May 23, 07:33 3
  - Hmm. I was really thinking LED -- nm - oblique May 23, 07:36 2
    - I haved had that much access to compare but have not seen that much of a difference in the two. If you can swing the LED I guess I would do so. -- nm - decline May 23, 07:48
    - I agree. LED is the way to go. -- nm - Bacon May 23, 07:38
- honestly, get the best specs you can afford - tRuMaN May 23, 07:29 2
  - Sometimes specs don't make any difference in reality (120 vs 240, perhaps). So if I save $300 by going edge-lit vs. full array when it doesn't make - oblique May 23, 07:31 1
    - i have an edge lit, its ok, but honestly the colors are better with fully array - tRuMaN May 23, 07:33
- 480p is the best!!! -- nm - hqmeister si May 23, 07:24

- The ones from Asia are effed. -- nm - Hotkiss May 23, 07:07 1
  - I didn't realize illegal Asian migrants were entering through Mexico. I wonder how they got there. Must have been expensive. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:09
The school's AD just called me. I feel special! -- nm - nubby May 23, 06:57 3
- "One expert says he feels special." -- nm - TV News May 23, 07:01 2
  - My brother, visiting this past weekend, quoted me from that interview to myself. I didn't recognize it, and I said, "that's ridiculous". -- nm - nubby May 23, 07:05 1
    - good thing it can't be traced to you then. :) -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:06

  - close enough - znufrii May 23, 06:55 3
    - Slow local trains are sloooow - znufrii May 23, 07:02 2
      - why didn't your wife just drive you to trenton? - decline May 23, 07:04 1

I haven't seen ep 6 of Game of Thrones yet but ep 5 was very good. I just read all the EW.com recaps and they help sort out a lot of what is going on. -- (link) - bc/nc May 23, 06:27 1

- Just saw the radar of Joplin. They are about 15-20 minutes away from getting hammered again. - Bacon May 23, 06:49
- here is a video of the tornado caught by someone on the ground -- (link) - tRuMaN May 23, 06:44 3 1
  - I know the NWS has to go through and make an official assessment or whatever, but that has to be an F5, doesn't it? -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:29 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - ah, thanks. Guess we'll have to see. Either way, the pictures are mindblowing. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:37
- oof. You can see the path of the tornado thorugh the town as they're coming up to it. -- nm - JaxSean May 23, 06:28 10
  - the thing that made this tornado so deadly (in casualties) is helped by the fact that it demolished the joplin hospital. -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 07:50
  - (People always say they don't want to move to Florida because of hurricanes, but at least we know they're coming and can get out of the way.) - JaxSean May 23, 06:36 8
    - even with tornadoes, you get more warning than something like an earthquake. So by those calcs, the west coast is the worst place. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:07 7
      - Yeah, I will take our earthquakes over the tornadoes -- nm - Bacon May 23, 07:09 6
        
        I'll take neither, thank you. - JaxSean May 23, 07:38
        
        see I'm the opposite and it is for the reason you said - I grew up with tornados - earthquakes scare me to death -- nm - Epiphany May 23, 07:23
        
        really? they affect far more people. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:10 3
        
        I think there is less fear of the familiar. It's not necessarily rational. -- nm - psilotum May 23, 07:19 1
        
        that's what I'm thinking. I've read that snowstorms kill far more people than any of those kinds of disasters, but no one in the northeast - loosilu May 23, 07:20
        
        I have only been in one over mag 7 a bunch of smaller ones. Some 5's. - Bacon May 23, 07:13
Supposedly this infographic resume got a person a job at The Huffington Post.....(link) - Walt_Disney May 23, 06:14 [Image] 2
- This is great. Has Hotkiss seen it? might be up her alley. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:27
- Interesting. For a longer career, I think I'd want to use a logarithmic scale. -- nm - psilotum May 23, 06:59

we *like* amazon cloud drive? really? -- nm - amanda jones May 23, 05:33 5
- It hasn't replaced my ipod or anything, but I do like it. - TFox May 23, 06:45
- Free streaming music service + free storage for songs purchased on Amazon. What's not to like? -- nm - oblique May 23, 06:26
- I like it a lot. Why not? - JaxSean May 23, 06:19

I can't figure out what Ray Lewis was thinking by stating that without the structure of a football season, NFL players would resort to crime. - prayformojo May 23, 05:01 5
- I just caught that on HLN and I thought he was talking about society -- nm - J May 23, 06:39 2
  - this is what I thought too. I thought he was saying the game gives people an outlet which if taken away would result in an uptick in crime. - Diva May 23, 06:42 1
    - Oh, I assumed that he mean crime on the part of the players -- nm - prayformojo May 23, 06:54

So apparently Anonymous feels bad about the Sony thing so they're doing some White Knighting by trying to take down lifeofamommy on Youtube. Fun stuff -- nm - Qale May 22, 22:01 4
- Who? I hope the same people (not sure if it was Anon) who found the identity of the girl who threw the dog in the river go after the sick fucks who v - Stephen May 22, 22:20 1
  - Yes, it was the same collective. This new person that's caught their eye is a mother who really loves her son. Really. Really. - Qale May 22, 22:24
- and that's worth how many billions? -- nm - moles May 22, 22:03 1
  - I dunno, but she sure makes me get that shivery SVU-vibe. -- nm - Qale May 22, 22:04
I made it about half way through the trailer to the Kevin James movie, Zookeeper. Right up to the part where... - Mop May 22, 21:58 9
- i was surprised to see another superhot female romantic interest who would never give the real life kevin james the time of day - moles May 22, 22:00 7
  - (Though it should be noted that "real life kevin james" actually is married to a model.) -- nm - Ender May 23, 06:57 1
    - just googled. A particularly good looking model, in fact. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:42
  - It's really almost an exact remake of Hitch, only iwith the part of Will Smith played by talking zoo anmals. -- nm - Ender May 23, 06:54
  - But see, that is why the animals have to school his ass. -- nm - Spawn May 22, 22:05 3
    - you sound like the target market - moles May 22, 22:08 2
      - I have yet to see a Kevin James movie since his first one. - Spawn May 22, 22:09 1
        
        anyone who goes to a Kevin James movie deserves the night terrors they get. -- nm - Mel Profit May 23, 04:19

Daddy has a poop butt too -- nm - The Bub May 22, 21:39 9
- glad you carried this over - what is a poop butt? -- nm - JenBro May 22, 21:40 8
  - Exactly what it sounds like. It's something we used to say when asking the kids if they needed their diapers changed. nm - ralph wiggum May 22, 21:42 4
    - heh heh ... did it get said about you in a very public place? (so funny) -- nm - JenBro May 22, 21:45 1
