  - Elitist snob, that's like subbing pasta for spaghetti you know -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 6, 10:01

    - I'm still inclined to believe that the Clothes Horse blog girl is Mandy. The stalkings are a dead giveaway. -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 09:36 1

Does Geek Squad charge to look at a computer and give an estimate to fix? - ty97 Jan 6, 09:26 10
- Look in your yellow pages. Some local boutique ought to be able to offer you a free estimate -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 09:47
- Read about how the geeks spend so much time raiding your p0rn files they often forget to actually fix the problem you brought it in for - zeitgeist Jan 6, 09:32 3
  - yay, blanket statements about large groups of people! - ty97 Jan 6, 09:34 1
    - strange response. "Often" may have been wrong word, but the fact remains that it happens too often. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 09:37
  - and then spread your personal pictures on the net, or even accidentally install them on other computers -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:34
- Don't know about Geek Squad, but standard PC fixin' (TV, too) usually involves a fee to "look at it" which is deducted should you choose to repair it. -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 09:29
- not under warranty? I hate that it's impossible to buy laptop video cards. -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:27
- Hook it up to a monitor. If it works, it's the screen. If not, it's dead and he should get a new one -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 09:27 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Excellent. I heard that it may have been done at the Whitehouse but I haven't tried looking for a clip of it - oblique Jan 6, 09:30
The Chicken of Depression -- (link) - con_carne Jan 6, 09:26 [flickr]
a couple of my friends are currently arguing about whose last name to give their baby. - mafic Jan 6, 09:21 37
- But, they should be able to embrace their WASP-y roots! -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 09:29
- I think my main problem with using the mother's last name is that people will assume the man is not the real father - Guigue Jan 6, 09:29
- I have friends who decided that male children would take his last name and female children would take her last name. -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:23 25
  - I'd bet twenty years from now, the children hate them for doing that. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 09:26 19
    - I think in less than that, every September, they are going to hate themselves, when they have to keep explaining things to the School Staff. -- nm - landbeck Jan 6, 09:28 5
      - True. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 09:30
      - By the time they're 20 they'll be over it because they'll likely not have the same level of social connectedness. -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:29
      - [deleted] 2
        
        *wave* Hi, Eric Stratton, Rush chairman, darn glad to meet you. -- nm - landbeck Jan 6, 09:32 1
        
        [deleted]
    - that would be kind of weird to have siblings with a different last name -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:27 4
      - happens all the time these days -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:28
      - plenty of kids already do though. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 09:28 2
        
        They have siblings of the half- and step- variety with different last names. Inclusivity is great, but the deliberate confusion . . . confuses me. -- nm - landbeck Jan 6, 09:29
        
        after i clicked post, i was very "duh." :) -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:28
    - I'd be sick of explaining why I have a different name that my brothers. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:27 7
      - dave's son has his last name, his half brother doesn't. they live in the same house and of course are siblings. - Andie Jan 6, 09:30
      - "For the ten millionth time: because my parents are morons." -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 09:28 5
        
        but why should names die out just because some families only have daughters? -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:31 4
        
        Because naming a child shouldn't be about the parent, it should be about the child. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 09:33 3
        
        then give it a name that's distinct and not from either parent -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:35 2
        
        Now try crossing the Mexican border and get stopped for abduction! -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:36
        
        Then you add even more confusion. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 09:35
  - They're Icelandic? -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 09:26 1
    - works fine for them. - Andie Jan 6, 09:41
  - interesting. I like this idea. -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:24 2
    - I'm the exact opposite -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:27 1
      - me too. barring multiple births or some kind of disaster scenarion I'm probably stopping at two, what if they're both the same sex? -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 09:31
- I rule that the baby will have to be given up for adoption. -- nm - Judge Hdn Jan 6, 09:23 3
  - I rule t hat the baby be divided in half. -- nm - Judge Solomon Jan 6, 09:23 2
    - Which half gets which last name? -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:26 1
      - bottom half. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:27
- This is why the woman should take the man's name from the beginning. Less drama. -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 09:22 4
  - or the man should take the woman's name. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:27
  - that's assuming they are married -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:24 1
    - they are in this case. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 09:34
  - Totally - HdnAgnda Jan 6, 09:24
I say if it's about just sex, she should do it, and if it's not about sex, she should run. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:20 12
- i would have asked, "uh, what page are we on?" the same page crap is his excuse for messing with her and claiming innocence when she gets hurt. -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:22 11
  - Or it could be that he just thought he was clear when he wasn't. She could ask. - pmb Jan 6, 09:41 3
    - because his actions are in conflict with his words. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:42 2
      - From her perspective. - pmb Jan 6, 09:49
      - that's where i was coming from, but pmb does have a point. -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:44
  - What dude messes with a hot chick by just making out with her. If he wanted to mess with her he'd try to get some action during the process -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 09:23 4
    - he may be on some sort of demented emotional power trip to heal his wounded heart. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:24 3
      - He just sounds like he's going through stuff and not sure what to do. She should have asked what the page was and she should still. That doesn't - pmb Jan 6, 09:36
      - you still get some on the way through -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 09:24 1
        
        not according to JD! -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:25
  - exactly, exactly. The net result (in my head) is RUN. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:22 1
    - I did!! Yeah! -- nm - loosi's ex si Jan 6, 09:25
speaking of the "woman" moniker: my bf jokingly calls me this. somehow, somewhere, his freaking brother adopted it, too. now it's sullied. - kare Jan 6, 09:20 8
- "What you've got to understand is that's postmodern misogyny... it's steeped in irony." -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 09:34
- Remlik calls me that. *sully* *sully* -- nm - Amy Jan 6, 09:24 2
  - he calls all women that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:24 1
    - that's true. Especailly the ones that irritate me and I have to correct. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 09:25
- so your BF's brother calls you "woman"? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 09:21 3
  - yes, he started calling me "woman" too! -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:21 2
    - End him. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 09:21 1
      - heh. -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:22

- I misread this as Drew Barrymore. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 09:22
- I find this post offensive. -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 09:20 2
  - "Your defence is offensive." -- nm - P.Manning in crappy football game commercial Jan 6, 09:22
  - sunny, I find your face offensive. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 09:21
Wait. So JackDawson and RC are in a band together and dating? -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:18 28
- no, jack is managing RC's band. and RC's wife just left him and moved back to canada. apparently it was a green card marriage. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 09:23
- and how does Qale fit in? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:21 3
  - With lots of lubricant. -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:22 1
    - Strawberry jam is NOT a lubricant. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 09:23
  - *giggles uncontrollably* -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 09:22
- His life is very exhausting. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 09:20 2
  - Getting up at 7:30am is very tough. -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 09:22 1
    - especially for band rehearsal -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:25
- [deleted] 19
  - Seriously. I didn't get that *at all* until you clarified. I thought you were posting about yourself. -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 09:21 18
    - [deleted] 1
      - I'm absolutely with kiblo, now. You are totally not gay. You should have that checked. -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 09:26
    - I did too. I still don't understand what the issue is. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 09:22 15
      - [deleted] 14
        
        she'd be crazy to proceed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:25
        
        She's single, he's single. What's the issue? - JaxSean Jan 6, 09:25 12
        
        Well then who is married? I am confused -- nm - amoxy Jan 6, 09:27 1

        duh, you're supposed to analyze what he said and provide a translation! -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:42 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Doesn't not understanding women provide even more evidence that you are straight? -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:27 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        You should make out with her -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 09:26 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I figured she was one-pump. no one else could have this much drama. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 09:38
        
        oh, you didn't mention she's crazy. she totally belongs with this guy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:29
        
        see Mop: NOT GAY -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 09:28
Could Schiller's name be any more appropriate? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 09:16 2
- Is there live video? -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 09:17 1
  - No, there never is. Company policy. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 09:18
iLife 09 - Photos: Faces and Places. Built in support for Facebook and Flickr -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 09:16 6
- Ah! Macrumors feed has been hacked!! ;) -- nm - Guigue Jan 6, 09:29
- The built-in support for FB and Flickr is a great news. I won't have to do everything twice, and they're the 2 sites I use to publish my photos -- nm - Guigue Jan 6, 09:17 4
  - Looks good too on that front. Tagged Faces on Facebook will sync back to iPhoto -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 09:19 2
    - geotagged iLife pics will transmit geotag info to flickr. Nice. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 09:19 1
