- WTF is Combat Hospital? -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 18:13
really? jack hammers *again* ???? - zeitgeist Aug 6, 18:10
Hmm, another "for life" sweepstakes ad. They always have time limits ... Damn Highlanders, ruining it for the rest of us. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 6, 17:50
Posted on a message board 20 years ago today: "The WorldWideWeb (WWW) project aims to allow links to be made to any information anywhere..." -- (link) - Dano Aug 6, 17:21 6
- i was getting ready to go to Lollapalooza next week -- nm - moles Aug 6, 17:25
- to be technical, not a board, Usenet. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 17:22 4
  - "The project started with the philosophy that much academic information should be freely available to anyone." - moles Aug 6, 17:26
  - To be specific, alt.furries.tim.burners-lee.unf.unf.unf -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 6, 17:25 2
    - neener neener....usenet and alt.net had different admins (though it was really easy to confuse or ignore the difference) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 6, 17:51 1
      - I didn't really do much on usenet, concentrated more on IRC -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 6, 18:04

nothing makes me want to get rid of someone more than them telling me how lucky I am to have them on site. - mafic Aug 6, 16:28 12
- can't you knock him into the pit, by mistake of course. -- nm - Remlik Aug 6, 16:37
- So very slightly seriously.... what possibility would there be for someone from the US with no experience to get a job on site? -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 16:36 9
  - not bad, assuming you have a work visa. we've hired fieldies and cooks with no field experience before. - mafic Aug 6, 16:44 8
    - that's my company in particular, which is also seasonal work for fieldies/cooks (April-late November). in the mining sector in general, there are lots - mafic Aug 6, 16:56
    - I once spent a week camping outside the wisconsin dells. it was actually only six days, but it seemed like an eternity so long amounts of time are ok - dogbert Aug 6, 16:52 6
      - you could find a job at a mine pretty easily. they kill to get nurses on site. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 16:59 5
        
        I can see why they need the nurses, then. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 17:08 4
        
        "we need a nurse".... "we should try killing someone. you know, see if one shows up"... "it's worth a shot. go kill tommy" -- nm - dogbert Aug 6, 17:10 3
        
        "Dammit. Now we need a nuse and a cook." -- nm - mara Aug 6, 17:38 2
        
        "Maybe we should just wound them, so the nurse still has something to do." "Look, do you want to be the nurse bait?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 18:07
        
        Worst. Camp. EVER. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 6, 17:40

Next Week's Rock Band DLC: Def Leppard 6-pack . Animal, Bringin' on the Heartbreak, Photograph, Rock of Ages, Pour Some Sugar on Me, & a new song. - JaxSean Aug 6, 14:47 7
- I would love to read how much work it takes for them to do a song. I mean, it seems they could make a crapload releasing complete CDs. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 15:13
- *sweet*. -- nm - kelly Aug 6, 14:58
- Squeeeeeeee -- nm - Pippy Aug 6, 14:53
- And there we have what will be my first Rock Band purchase! -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 14:52 3
  - Can someone explain the pricing? It looks like it is *cheaper* to buy individual songs. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 15:01 2
    - Ah, think I have got it now. Save 60 MS points buying the pack? Which means - Spawn Aug 6, 15:02 1
      - 160 MS points * 5 songs = 800 points. It's like getting the new song for free, essentially, if you buy the pack. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 6, 15:26
And since ST seems to care, a Glee blind item. - Spawn Aug 6, 14:37 5
- this guy needs a punctuation lesson. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 14:57
- My guess is Dianna Agron. I could see her and Alex Pettyfer being coke fiends when they were together. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 14:44
- Becky -- nm - moles Aug 6, 14:43 1
  - this is wrong. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 16:29
- This could explain Heather Morris' inhuman dancing ability. -- nm - Max Aug 6, 14:43
Awesome blind item. - Spawn Aug 6, 14:29 18
- Cruise, Cruz and Bardem? -- nm - mud Aug 6, 15:51
- Sean Penn got his ass kicked? - Stephen Aug 6, 15:19
- That would work. -- nm - the liioulu with pie, cupcake, tiedye and humidity Aug 6, 14:35 1
  - And that should have gone below Spawn's post. -- nm - the liioulu with pie, cupcake, tiedye and humidity Aug 6, 14:37
- Most likely (spoil) - Spawn Aug 6, 14:33 12
  - Schreiber isn't B+/A-, though. nm - Dignan Aug 6, 15:05 8
    - Yeah, that part was off. But seriously, can not come up with any others that fit. - Spawn Aug 6, 15:11 7
      - christian bale? he's married though, isn't he? and I have no idea who he's been in movies with. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 15:19 1
        
        i thought of this, with marion cotillard. but her husband isn't a B/A List actor -- nm - moles Aug 6, 15:21
      - Russell Crowe/Rachel McAdams/Ryan Gosling is an interesting guess. nm - Dignan Aug 6, 15:19
      - Michael Caine - moles Aug 6, 15:13 3
        
        She was only fifteen years old! -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 15:57 1
        
        ... Maybe that's what paid for his lake house -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 6, 16:25
        
        True dat. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 15:14
  - I wonder if he hauled out the classic "you'll never work in this town again!" -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 6, 15:01
  - Heh... there is this story from May -- (link) - Dano Aug 6, 14:39 1
    - priceless -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 14:40
- Penelope Cruz? Then Javier Bardem. And....? -- nm - the liioulu with pie, cupcake, tiedye and humidity Aug 6, 14:33
I'd been keeping my eye on a couple watermelons in the garden, and I didn't notice the plant had snuck out & there's a big one where I wasn't looking. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 14:25 4
- Those darn sneaky watermelons. -- nm - the liioulu with pie, cupcake, tiedye and humidity Aug 6, 14:31 3
  - After googling when to harvest watermelon, I picked it. Hopefully I will have watermelon for dessert. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 14:58
  - word -- nm - Gallagher Aug 6, 14:35
  - They're tricksie -- nm - Pippy Aug 6, 14:34
Why am I friends with someone named Puddles? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with pie, cupcake, tiedye and humidity Aug 6, 14:08 5
- So Redmond can win free Ducks tickets. Thank you -- nm - Bacon Aug 6, 15:56 3
  - 10 of my facebook friends how I love friended Puddles and I win tickets to a Ducks game if they are choses for tickets. THANKS! -- nm - Bacon Aug 6, 15:57 2
    - wait, you don't *get* tickets for getting 10 friends to spam themselves, you only get a *chance* to win some? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 6, 16:56
    - Not David though. -- nm - Bacon Aug 6, 16:40
- because puppies are sooooooo CUTE -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 6, 14:10
S&P warns of a second rating downgrade... -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 6, 13:50 2
- sent you a trade offer in Cavemen -- nm - stewie Aug 6, 13:54 1
  - Ok, thanks. I may not be able to look until tomorrow. You can also gmail it if you want. - Don Homer Aug 6, 13:56
I've been asked to take over a membership list, currently maintained on Lotus Approach(?). As a long time Excel user will I be able to adapt? -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 6, 13:31 5
- It looks like Approach is a database program not a spreadsheet, so I think the Microsoft counterpart would be Access and not Excel. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 13:49 4
  - Ah, I wondered about that. I've never taken the time to mess with Access. Guess when somebody actually shows me what they've got I can decide - MojaveMeg Aug 6, 14:30 2
    - Depending on what you actually have to do with the database, it's not too hard to learn in general. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 14:46
    - Access is easier than Excel, in my experience using them both -- nm - moles Aug 6, 14:46
  - I believe this is correct. Lotus 1-2-3 was the spreadsheet program before the Lotus Office Suite was discontinued. - ty97 Aug 6, 13:53
If Apes continues to get good word of mouth, could be a pretty vicious battle vs Final Destination 5 next weekend for that demo. -- nm - Qale Aug 6, 13:27 10
- Did you see my question on B2? -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 14:24 1
  - The one about Final Destination? This is the first film that features that quirk. -- nm - Qale Aug 6, 16:57
- I think Apes skews older than Destination. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 13:29 7
  - Rated PG-13 vs Rated R? -- nm - Qale Aug 6, 13:33 6
    - 59% of Apes viewers were 25+ -- nm - moles Aug 6, 13:41 3
      - When Dano said skews older, I was thinking 40+ not 25. -- nm - Qale Aug 6, 13:59 2
        
        I think that 40+ audience members will make up a much larger portion of the Apes audience than they will for the Final Destination audience too. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 14:19
        
        well, great apes only have a life expectancy of 30-40 years and I don't think too many of them want to waste a few hours watching this -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 6, 14:09
    - So Larry Crowne was rated PG-13 to bring in the kids? -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 13:39 1
      - No, I was thinking that Final Destionation technically can't skew too much younger due to the rating, though of course kidlets will always get through -- nm - Qale Aug 6, 13:58
has Colbert said anything interesting with MLB twitter feed?...or has that even started yet? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 6, 13:15 3
- It was yesterday. I was whelmed. -- nm - Tim Aug 6, 13:57 2
  - Relatedly: It's getting to the point where I can't watch either Jon nor Stephen's "interviews" as they only seem interested in hearing themselves talk - Qale Aug 6, 13:59 1
    - Well, Colbert has *always* been that way. - Spawn Aug 6, 14:33

  - Whatever happened to Saturday night? When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright, it don't seem the same since the cosmic light came into my life -- nm - Hot Patootie bless my soul... Aug 6, 13:04 2

I have a feeling S&P is in for a hell of an attack this week. Perhaps this downgrade is what was needed to get the media to write about how much the - ty97 Aug 6, 12:05 13
- The time to blame S&P was when they rated toxic mortgages AAA... not when they downgraded a government who's Congress just imploded on tv -- nm - stewie Aug 6, 13:05 1
  - They absolutely should have been decimated for that, but they weren't. This is a chance to correct that. -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:08
- [deleted] 9
  - Yep, regardless of whether they were right/wrong in this, I want them to put under the magnifying glass and held to 'An AAA rating' in what they do. - ty97 Aug 6, 12:12 8
    - [deleted] 7
      - Unfortunately, you're probably right, unless 'the people' get mad at S&P over the downgrade rather than 'the other party whose fault it clearly and - ty97 Aug 6, 12:17 6

        more false equivalence bullshit. the Tea Party picked this budget fight because they "knew" there couldn't be any negative consequences to downgrade - moles Aug 6, 12:23 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Why should the Tea Party do anything differently? It's working for them so far in the run-up to the 2012 election. - ty97 Aug 6, 12:30 2

        Obama and the Democrats were willing to compromise on entitlement spending. the Tea Party and GOP were not willing to compromise on taxes or revenue - moles Aug 6, 12:33
