  - Thanks! Saved :) -- nm - JenBro Jun 15, 14:29
This is probably a stupid question. But with the Kindle or Nook, once you've purchased/downloaded a book via wifi, you dont need to be connected via - Jovian Jun 15, 11:07 3
- and usually, you wouldn't want to - prayformojo Jun 15, 11:09
- Correct, though if you wanted to save your location to the cloud to continue reading on your PC or phone you'd have to reconnect. -- nm - Ender Jun 15, 11:08
- Correct -- nm - oblique Jun 15, 11:07
hockey crisis averted! (if you care...) - Andie Jun 15, 11:05 6

- might have trouble getting seats in any place with a tv tonight unless you get there early. -- nm - zork Jun 15, 11:08
- It's a shame it couldn't be re-scheduled for another night entirely so you can fully enjoy both events. But I know it would be tough to suggest that. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 15, 11:08
- nice. best of both worlds - prayformojo Jun 15, 11:08
- "Uhm, thanks but... I'm not into that kinda stuff." -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 15, 11:07

- I can't see this console doing incredibly well, unless it's very aggressively priced. Maybe I'm missing something though. -- nm - Shaun Jun 15, 11:04 3
  - For them to have any hope they're going to have to have some extremely solid concrete demos of what it can do at E3 next year. -- nm - Ender Jun 15, 11:05 2
    - Absolutely. Plus, it in no way seems anywhere near as accessible as the Wii. I can't seeing people's grandparents buying this. - Shaun Jun 15, 11:07 1
      - agreed -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 11:08
- Jesus. It's like they don't want to be in the living room. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 15, 11:02 3
  - Does your Xbox play DVD or BR? -- nm - oblique Jun 15, 11:03 2
    - it plays dvd. -- nm - Remlik Jun 15, 11:06
    - My PS3 is in my living room, and it is my "one box". I'm pretty sure Xbox plays DVDs, and thus is my DVD player in the bedroom. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 15, 11:04
- Well it will, but it will replace all of the characters in the movie with Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach. -- nm - pmb Jun 15, 11:01 4
  - And you'll have to enter a unique string of 20 random characters before the disc will start playing. -- nm - Ender Jun 15, 11:04
  - hee! might better than some of the crap on TV already -- nm - Epiphany Jun 15, 11:04 1
    - Imagine the porn. -- nm - pmb Jun 15, 11:06
  - Luigi, you broke-a my heart! -- nm - Mario Corleone Jun 15, 11:03
- stupid. -- nm - Remlik Jun 15, 11:01
- fine by me. I don't need it to be a DVD/BR player. They're cheap and common -- nm - oblique Jun 15, 11:01 6
  - We're quickly moving to the one box to rule them all scenario, and Nintendo clearly doesn't want to be that box. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 15, 11:02 5
    - That's crap. If anything it's moving towards online content, not discs -- nm - oblique Jun 15, 11:03 4
      - But Big N keeps fumbling the online content ball. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 15, 11:04 2
        
        No question about that -- nm - oblique Jun 15, 11:05 1
        
        I'll grant you that it doesn't need to play discs if it's got a strong online component. Until that happens, they need a placeholder. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 15, 11:08
      - but the option will always be a selling point to a large portion of the population -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 11:04
- that....seems kinda dumb -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 11:01 2

        yeah, my german cousins said they had to learn a foriegn language, (what about english) no, english was already required and not considered foriegn -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 15, 11:15

  - a simple inspection should have pointed this out. - groiny Jun 15, 10:38 6
    - The market is such here in Winnipeg that listing an inspection on the offer sheet means A) you don't get the house, or B) you are grossly overpaying. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 15, 10:40 3
      - A new NHL team will do that. - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 15, 10:42 2
        
        It's been like that for at least five years now. The market is red hot and sellers have no incentive to allow it. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 15, 10:44 1
        
        if the owner says "snake infestation" I sure as hell do not take the realtors word that they are lying. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 15, 10:49

      - or the taalest? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 15, 10:35
    - 1901 - that explains the state of the trail. They should fence it off. It's a freaking hazard. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 15, 10:33 1
      - it's been fenced off but morons hike it anyway. -- nm - loosilu Jun 15, 10:49

      - mm, maybe I can add a military score section to my monthly update. Track military scores like I do overall scores. -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 10:30 3
        
        At some point, % isn't valid...but ima has a military score of 5. - Will Hunting Jun 15, 10:31 2
        
        ima is just there for points for us :) He got broken during the wars and came to us to hangout. -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 10:42 1
