- Busy you have been. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 9, 09:27 1
  - It includes all (well, most...those I could remember) that I've ever taken, but yeah, a lot of it is for work -- nm - ty97 Jan 9, 09:31
I still laugh uncontrollably when I remember that mel profit actually wrote "maturation". -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 09:24
7.2 f*&@ing percent! Holy crap. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 09:21 14
- "Over 9000!?" -- nm - lileve Jan 9, 09:25 1

HSX PSA: Openers halt in 40 minutes. -- nm - emotichanic Jan 9, 09:21
Remlik: Some issues with XBoxes not seeing PCs are caused by PC's and router's uPNP settings -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 09:20 15
- so it may be a router setting. interesting. Will look at it when I get my box back. -- nm - Remlik Jan 9, 09:23
- FWIW, I could log into XBox Live but my PC/laptop couldn't find the 360 until I properly set up my wireless router/ -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 09:21 13
  - ...that was plugged into the 360 (using it as a wireless bridge). -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 09:21 12
    - Oh, don't start with me. I decided to use my Linksys wireless router as a bridge instead, and it took me forever to figure out how to do it. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 09:23 11
      - The WRT54G by any chance? :) -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 09:24 10
        
        Sorry, no. My mistake. It was one of the Netgear 802.11G. Dude, if you've got a WRT54G, put Tomato on it! -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 09:26 1
        
        See below. -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 09:29
        
        that's what I have! Should I get new router? -- nm - Remlik Jan 9, 09:25 7
        
        C'mon, guys! You all probably have the best - most hackable - router on the market, and you're complaining about it? - Mop Jan 9, 09:27
        
        Nope. That's what I have plugged into my 360. I flashed the router with the DD-WRT firmware... - Shaun Jan 9, 09:27 5
        
        Link to the wiki. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 9, 09:28 4
        
        Good link. Wouldn't want Remlik to just put a tomato on top of his router and expect for magic to happen. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 09:31 3
        
        It's not Tomato dammit!! :) -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 09:32
        
        I was thinking about that. -- nm - Remlik Jan 9, 09:31 1

    - Seagate is the official hard drive of kilbo -- nm - oblique Jan 9, 09:26 2
      - I don't have an official hard drive - only an official NOT hard drive. Never maxtor. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 09:27 1
        
        It used to be because Seagate had the 5 year warranty. Soon they're dropping it to 3 but they still make the best stuff -- nm - oblique Jan 9, 09:29
- two TBs. D-Link DNS-323 and two 1TB drives. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 09:20 1
  - possibly 3TB, if you can find a good deal on 1.5TB drives -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 09:21

Any details on the vote to impeach Blago? Majority rules; just curious as to how majority it was. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 09:09 7
- And is it the same in Illinois as it is at the Federal level? Impeachment proceedings and so forth, or is it just like a no-confidence vote? -- nm - emotichanic Jan 9, 09:14 1
  - From all I've read, it's the same process. 2/3 vote in the Senate to remove him. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 09:15
- 114-1 -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 9, 09:13 4
  - Who was the 1? Burris? -- nm - Dano Jan 9, 09:15 2

      - I almost made a simple diaper joke. Glad I didn;t. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 9, 09:16
      - Oh hah I forgot about that debacle -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 9, 09:15
- 16 hours is easy. Have done that one with only stops for gas (grabbed bathrrom and food then when needed) and went to work when I got home. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 9, 09:11 3
  - We're trying to make 11.5 hours until a stop, probably won't make 16 -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 9, 09:14 2
    - Wow. Big gas tank. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 9, 09:15 1
      - Holy crap, I would say so. -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 09:20
- Buy a lot of new music and don't listen to it until you start driving. -- nm - lileve Jan 9, 09:10 1
  - Or just buy one song and put it on repeat for the entire trip. -- nm - Dano Jan 9, 09:12
BoingBoing mentions Max Keiser -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 9, 09:01 1
- He predicted the subprime crisis? Is this him claiming credit after the fact, or him throwing darts at the board and finally hitting a bullseye? - Mop Jan 9, 09:05

Did Microsoft lose the race to put Media content on the TV? -- (link) - oblique Jan 9, 08:54 17
- As the article say: Via the PC yes, via the XBox Hell No. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 08:55 16
  - If so, boy are they going to be pissed. They are a chief factor in the demise of HD-DVD/Blu-ray and the transition streaming content. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 09:03
  - *ding* Streaming files from the PC to the 360 to watch on tv kicks ass. -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 08:59 14

      - *blank stare* -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 09:11

        I had no problem, it was rather easy to set up. What's your issue? -- nm - zombie krusty Jan 9, 09:08 2
        
        the xbox won't detect the pc. -- nm - Remlik Jan 9, 09:13 1
        
        Obvious question #1: Are they on the same network? -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 09:15
        
        It took me 7 minutes to set up once I tried it. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 09:07 7
        
        the Xbox won't detect the pc. aggravating. -- nm - Remlik Jan 9, 09:10 4
        
        Huh....tversity worked right away for me and I had the same problem going in. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 09:11 3
        
        Same for me. The 360 wouldn't see my laptop until I used Tversity. -- nm - zombie krusty Jan 9, 09:12 2
        
        I'll try again when I get my Box back. -- nm - Remlik Jan 9, 09:14 1
        
        well no wonder the 360 can't see these other devices! they should probably be in the same state....nm - x Jan 9, 09:26
        
        Yeah, I had originally tried to connect using WMP but couldn't get it to work. Tversity was a snap. - zombie krusty Jan 9, 09:10

  - I have laundry at three-ish. I think just waiting until then is my best bet. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 9, 09:02 2
    - I dunno. Pretty hungry now with 3 hrs to go could make for a testy & unfocused mandy. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 9, 09:06 1

If the proposed method of distrupting the signals included an Emergency Broadcast feature, then I would be more supportive. - Beryllium Jan 9, 08:52 1
- it's for your own good, citizen. trust us....nm - state Jan 9, 08:54
I mean, not that I talk to my parents a whole lot anyway, but if something happened, I would want to be able to let them know I was alright. -- nm - znufrii Jan 9, 08:52 8
