        you're right that there's almost nothing it does that a laptop can't, but it's more portable, $100 version of that. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:10 1
        
        the box.net for life is intriguing. moot at this point though. -- nm - Max Aug 22, 13:15

    - How so? Be specific and some of us may be able to help. - David Aug 22, 12:51 2

    - google cache and internet archive might have a recent history -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:46 2
      - Yes, what you should be doing right now is checking google cache for every article you can recall. -- nm - David Aug 22, 12:48
      - this was actually just occurring to me! thanks -- nm - kare Aug 22, 12:48
    - It wasn't hackery but this is why hsxworld.com ceased to exist. The webhost I was on crashed and lost data and I didn't have backups - oblique Aug 22, 12:37 1
      - :( -- nm - kare Aug 22, 12:42
- ugh, that's horrible (of course, i have to run over there and see what happened.) -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 12:32 3
  - the backend got hacked a couple of months ago and someone FTPed a bunch of files and they were hosting it on my domain. - kare Aug 22, 12:40 2
    - Were you using an outdated version of Wordpress perchance? This happened to me a while back on Shotalicious. -- nm - Qale Aug 22, 13:17 1
      - that is, indeed, exactly the issue. my other sites are automatically upgraded with each new wordpress release. - kare Aug 22, 13:27

    - 2nd time this year, I hacked up the front 9, and did well on the back. - groiny Aug 22, 12:34 12
      - oh yeah, and on the front, I had one hole where I was shooting at the wrong flag. - groiny Aug 22, 12:35 11
        
        what was awesome about that was you were aiming for the 18th hole when we were playing the 9th. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 13:04 4
        
        well, you take away the shot, the penalty and maybe one other shot, and I am at 100 even on the day. - groiny Aug 22, 13:06 3
        
        yeah take away that 12 on that same hole and I'm closing in on you as well. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 13:10 2
        
        on the front 9 at least..... - groiny Aug 22, 13:15 1
        
        yeah you did. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 13:26
        
        I hit 4 trees on one hole. Including a chunked shot that went 45deg left, hit a 3 inch thick trunk about 60 yards away. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:48 5

        Ed got an autographed scorecard; first time he's beaten me over 18 holes in a decade. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:52 3
        
        I plan to break 100 before getting to Myrtle. - groiny Aug 22, 12:55 2
        
        I've got 2 more rounds in me before then; but 2-3 trips to the range. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:56 1
        
        I think this is about right, I can see getting out 2 more times before then. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 12:58
    - I got a hole in one on vacation a couple weeks ago - oblique Aug 22, 12:30
    - i miss golfing. haven't been in forever, and won't be going this year. (can't take allergy meds and the grass kills me.) -- nm - kare Aug 22, 12:29
- this (well, we don't have gators, but you know) is why i have the telescoping retriever. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 12:25 3
  - I got one of those mainly cuz by rule of "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" the ball can never stop within club's length of retrieval. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:27

Some lists of Top Touchpad apps (while you wait for them to root it for Android). - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:23 14

- That Tigerdirect page just will. Not. Load for me. -- nm - con_FWP Aug 22, 12:28 3

        I'm tempted from the Android perspective. webOS looks great but I'd want Netflix and I'd be curious if you could throw a ROM on it and get it to work -- nm - oblique Aug 22, 12:31 2
        
        I've rarely used Netflix on the iPad but I can see the benefit on a long car trip (but you'd need a wifi hotspot). It *does* have Pandora. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:38 1
        
        Oddly, it gets used mostly around the house to resolve TV disputes with the 2 kids now as they get older. We only really have 1 TV in the house - oblique Aug 22, 12:40
- I'd get past the lack of apps fast. I think Netflix would be the one app that I'd be like "Damn, wish it had that" -- nm - oblique Aug 22, 12:25 1
  - Maybe Netflix shows mercy and still develops an app. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:26
TigerDirect.com currently begging for mercy. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 12:23 1
- Yep. I had to hammer it just so it would load and confirm the price. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:24

- Coming soon to DVD, Hotkiss 2: Homeless in Peru -- nm - samara Aug 22, 12:24
- The Conan that just hit theaters this weekend? WTF? -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Aug 22, 12:22 2
