- Averga eprice of a house in Ireland is 350k dollars at the moment. - Loyola Jan 6, 11:25 2
  - yeah. that might be grim. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 11:28
  - Average price. (yes I'm 6 years old) -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 11:26
Ok. Watch this clip, FFW it to about 20 seconds left in the clip and tell me if that isn't the sweetest ass you've ever seen -- (link) - oblique Jan 6, 11:21 5
- Saw that last night with my girlfriend and almost said something, but thought better of it. - pmb Jan 6, 11:30 1
  - I prefer them more - con_carne Jan 6, 11:31
- frackin' site. not available here -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:24
- Now that's just great television! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:24 1
  - I could just watch it muted. So much eye candy -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 11:27
What I've learned so far today: Dawson is in a band and nubby broke his legg in London. -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 11:20 4
- I think RC is in the band, but Dawson is humping the lead singer. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:21 3
  - I think Dawson is humping nubby's broken legg. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 11:22 2
    - IRYL? -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 11:23 1
      - How do you think it got broken? -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 11:24
heh.....fellas...get your Wunder Boner! commercial fail.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 6, 11:13 [youtube] 9
- don't recall that exact commercial but I remember seeing some sort of ad for that back in the day -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:23
- it's not like that name isn't entirely on purpose. as is "the wonder boner!" "my wife would like that." -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 11:20
- [deleted]
- They seem to know the name is funny - con_carne Jan 6, 11:19
- HI, BILLY MAYS HERE, FOR THE AMAZING WONDER BONER. -- nm - BILLY MAYS Jan 6, 11:17 2
  - *puts 150 lbs of weight on the Amazing Wonder Boner* And for just the cost of S&H, you can get SnapSite lotion for free -- nm - Billy Mays Jan 6, 11:19
  - Hey, hand's off my Wunder Boner! I've already got this job! -- nm - Mike Rowe Jan 6, 11:19
- That being said, I'm actually pretty impressed by the product's concept. -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 11:15 1
  - agreed. its a great fishing tool. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 11:16
RIP Music DRM. -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 11:13 29
- so already purchased files will become unlocked? -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:29 3
  - I think I saw something where you would "upgrade" your files for $.30 per song. -- nm - Mike Rowe Jan 6, 11:31 1
    - SFAN -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 11:31
  - *snicker* yeah right, not when they can make you buy them all over again. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 6, 11:31
- This makes me very happy. My wife can continue to use iTunes (don't have to retrain) and I don't have to futz around with converting her files - oblique Jan 6, 11:15 3
  - You should introduce her to Amazon. It imports automatically to iTunes anyway and is cheaper. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:22 2
    - I keep wanting to but she keeps getting iTunes gift cards so I keep delaying. My biggest problem was DRM and now that's going to be a non-issue -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 11:23 1
      - I can't stand searching for music on iTunes anymore. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:26
- I know this is really stupid, but what exactly is DRM? TIA -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 11:15 9
  - Digital Rights Media. satan invented it. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 11:17 1
    - management even -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 11:18
  - It's why you can't buy a song on iTunes and then email it to all your friends -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 11:16 1
    - (well, you can, but they'd have to pay, too) -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 11:17
  - DRM = software to artificially prevent the copying and sharing of data. - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:16 2
    - So basically one copy can be downloaded now, and shared with others? - MDH Jan 6, 11:21 1
      - well, the goal is to make it ubiquitous, so it works on any media player. Before now, iTunes music couldn't do that. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:22
  - It's the protection that allows you to only play iTunes songs on iTunes or iPods -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 11:16 1
    - And which prevents other copy-protected music from being played on iPods. -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 11:17
- I wonder if this the "snag" that has stopped The Beatles coming to Itunes. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 11:14 10
  - iTunes started out with DRM. They didn't want it then. Now iTunes doesn't have DRM. And they still don't want it. The Beatles collection is ... well, - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:19 3
    - This is what I'm thinking too -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 6, 11:22
    - well they were close to a deal this past year, they had released all the solo material from the Fab Four and remixing was being done on the catalog... - Remlik Jan 6, 11:22 1
      - ah, yes, this would be the snag, then -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:23
  - I thought the Beatles issue was with the $$ - decline Jan 6, 11:18
  - they could have put them on Amazon then. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:15 4
    - why? If the Beatles want to be protected, then why would they go DRM free? -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 11:16 3
      - I thought you meant they didn't want DRM. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:20 2
        
        I gotcha...my mistake. I think they do. I think they dont want the one price fits all policy either. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 11:23 1
        
        the new 1.29 price threshold might be something they were holding out for, then -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:25
Just got back from lunch. Yeah Apple. DRM free in '09. Finally -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 11:11
ST things I couldn't share in real life: "I agree with cuntcumber," GLTC, and cockneck. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 11:09 5
- I know Guy in real life! But, best of all, my nephew saw it on fark totally independantly of me so I get to talk about it! -- nm - Amy Jan 6, 11:11 2
  - in other worlds collide news ... -- (link) - zork Jan 6, 11:14 [Backboard]
  - I know a fair number of heavily tattooed people. one of them actually showed it to me a couple months after. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 11:14
- Oh, I shared cockneck. It's too funny not to. -- nm - nubby Jan 6, 11:10 1
  - Same here, but it didn't really land. -- nm - emotichanic Jan 6, 11:11
The Captain Marvel movie (SHAZAM!) won't be happening according to the writer... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 6, 11:08 6
- to be replaced by a knock-off ShamWow movie starring Vince? -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:09 5
  - "Made by the Germans. You know they always make good stuff." -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 11:10 1
    - heh. actually I had thought of working Uwe into it without realising that part -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:11
  - hmm, will he wear a snuggie throughout the movie? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 11:10
  - fighting his arch-rival, OxyClean? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:10 1
    - Hmm! I sense a good idea here. Think 'Thank You for Smoking' but with the "merchants of death" gang be all infomercial inventors and stars. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:14
I would be so insulted if the Yankees only offered me $10 million this off-season. (nm) - David Jan 6, 11:07 1
- If I were Petite, I'd spit on Hank Steinbrenner. - musubi Jan 6, 11:24
How is Felicia Day not a series regular on network TV yet? -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 11:07 5
- I agree...but she's too..."quirky" looking for network tv in a lead role. I'd love to see her on tv. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 11:18
- it would take too much time away from her raiding sessions. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 11:13
- she should do a show with Jonathan Coulton. (Also, The Guild is available on XBox Live, not sure about TV) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:07 2
  - I can see it now. It would of course be titiled "Code Monkey". -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 11:11 1
    - Or it could be a drama called 'Stay Alive', done in the style of 24 -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:11
do we like this for me? -- (link) - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 6, 11:01 5
- Hmmm, not in solid purple, I think. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 11:09
- I think Ben Bernanke spends all day online buying stuff like this. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 11:08
- not sure, but this one I am confused on -- (link) - tRuMaN Jan 6, 11:03
- "You Save: $0.05" - con_carne Jan 6, 11:02 1
  - To answer the question: No -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 11:03
Your opinion please: If you hear the name "Lorena", what's the first thought you get, if any? -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 11:00 13
- Thanks, guys -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 11:11
- My friend's wife. -- nm - nubby Jan 6, 11:09
- Makey uppy name. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 11:07
- the grumpy lady at the drivers license burea. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 11:04
- Truck stop waitress. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:02 1
  - My thoughts exactly -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 6, 11:13
- [deleted] 2
  - ditto. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:10
  - Yup. -- nm - David Jan 6, 11:06
- Sounds like some chick from a soap opera. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 11:00 1
  - On second thought" "Owwww." -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 11:01
- McKennitt. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:00 1
  - she spells it with Loreena -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 6, 11:14
If the Flight of the Conchords can get a tv show built around them and a handful of quirky songs, then a Jonathan Coulton show is long overdue. - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:00 5
- Have you seen Code Monkey? - psilotum Jan 6, 11:07 2
  - Yeah, I stumbled across it while looking for his songs. I haven't watched any yet, but have located a good torrent. Good stuff? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:10 1
    - As I recall it was moderately amusing. It's got early-video-game style animation, which is fun. - psilotum Jan 6, 11:17
- His Twitter feed amuses me. -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 11:04
- Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:02
LIR: my projectile vomit -- (link) - zork Jan 6, 10:58 [Backboard] 2

  - i'm fine on coasters but spinning stuff is not good. -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:08

- You should point out to Will that the reason Wang continually outperforms his peripherals is that he is a groundball machine. - musubi Jan 6, 10:59 13
  - I'm surprised you put Burnett in that list. 13 game winner 1 time and he's 30+ years old. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 11:08 8
    - Wins are next to meaningless. AJ's a pretty good pitcher. Overpaid, for sure, but irrespective of that, he's a better than average starter. - musubi Jan 6, 11:18 5
      - The problem is your #2 is a 12 game winner who's usually good for 25 starts a year and needed a torrid 2nd half to finish with an ERA at 4.07. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 11:21 4
        
        Again: Wins are meaningless. Saying he's a "12-game winner" means nothing. If he prevents runs, the Yanks benefit, regardless of his record. - musubi Jan 6, 11:27
        
        I would switch Wang and Burnett in the rotation. Wang = 2, Burnett = 3. But maybe that's just me. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 11:25 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        So would I, but Wang's coming off an injury and Burnett is the big ticket FA. The order is pretty much only nominal after the first week anyway. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 11:29
    - [deleted] 1
      - He helps them, but they didn't exactly have a waste at 1b prior. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 11:15
  - [deleted] 3
    - That's just it though, it's rare that he's not on. In 95 career starts he has *6* starts that lasted less than 5 innings. - musubi Jan 6, 11:14 1
      - [deleted]
    - are we still talking about baseball? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 11:01
"the graceful arc gleemed in the mid-morning sunlight ..." - Beryllium Jan 6, 10:57 15
- Dear Slackertalk Forum: I never thought that something like this would happen to me, but when I opened the door... -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 10:59 2
  - [deleted]
  - I .. -- nm - jizz_inmypants Jan 6, 11:02
- [deleted] 11
  - Clarkson, Underwood, Daughtry, Taylor Swift is huge in country as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 11:17
  - Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry have done well. Kelly Pickler unfortunately is still successful enough to not be in Playboy yet. - musubi Jan 6, 11:02 1
    - [deleted]
  - Perhaps I should have said "Flame-out". He was propelled into the top 5 or something by essentially going viral, but then the competition left him in - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:00 2
    - As I recall, he was awful. Had a twin sister who was much better than him, but he advanced while she got booted. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 11:03 1
      - Exactly. Like I said, he went viral. It was vote-stuffing for hilarity. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:04
  - Carrie Underwood has been hugely successful, as well as Chris Daughtry. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 10:59 4
    - David Cook is certainly on his way. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:01 3
      - He's my favorite of all of them. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:05 2
        
        Oh, agreed. - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 11:07 1
        
        hard to pick a favorite of his performances, but that was up there. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:07
place in order: sleepy sneezy dopey bashful doc happy grumpy. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 6, 10:57 9
- bashful, doc, dopey, grumpy, happy, sneezy, sleepy. (that's alphabetical order.) - JaxSean Jan 6, 11:14
- :' -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:11 1
  - dammit, didn't work. let's try ... :'< , '>sort -- nm - zork Jan 6, 11:18

  - doc comes last, I thought? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:09 1
    - 'cause he's got stamina! -- nm - nubby Jan 6, 11:13
- bashful, happy, dopey, doc, grumpy, sleepy, sneezy -- nm - Amy Jan 6, 11:03
- mmm, grumpy, doc, dopey, happy, bashful, sleepy, sneezy -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 10:59
- I have: grumpy, sleepy, bashful, doc, happy, sneezy. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 6, 10:58
Did I say overlords? I meant protectors. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 10:57
Should I click ML's link? (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 10:56 2
- Yes. (nm) - nubby Jan 6, 11:17

hmm, boring. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 10:56
