  - Oh, I have problems with them. No doubt. But faster speeds = nice. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 12:11

- my parents use it with a phone, works nice when they have internet service. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 12:11 1
  - I'm not exactly sure how to make fun of the last part of that sentence, but I'm sure there's a way {nm} - Banzai! Oct 21, 12:13
- Haven't used it with a phone- just PC headsets, but it's fantastic. Very clear with little delay. Conferencing is very nice, too. - Banzai! Oct 21, 12:04 1
  - Oh, that is true.. It's quite easy to add people to a call, easier than it used to be.. And, while I haven't done that in a while, I used to get 5-6 - Marlowe Oct 21, 12:09

I was so happy for Barney on HIMYM last night. Robin's such an anchor around his neck. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:55 10
- I was hoping my subject wasn't spoilerish. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 12:00 1
  - If it makes you feel anny better, I haven't seen it and I really don't know what you're talking about -- nm - Guigue Oct 21, 12:05

  - I'm intrigued, but have never worked with bok choy before. Best way to cook just in a rounded pan? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 11:58 2
    - yeah, i just chop it into about inch long pieces and cook it in a normal pan.. no need to cover it. - colin Oct 21, 12:14 1
      - oh, just buy baby bok choys and cook whole. put in a pan with just a little water, cover and boil/steam for only a few minutes. -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 12:22
- Stuffing and micro-veggies. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 11:52
- Julienne slice some red bell peppers, microwave with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce, maggi, or balsamic vinagrette -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 11:52 2
  - I love this idea. (Amongst others on here. Thanks for the great ideas gang.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 11:55 1
    - even better, scorch each pepper right on the gas flame till the skin is black, peel with your fingers, gets sugary burnt, so good and simple -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 12:04
- Bacon wrapped scallops. Easy to do and incredibly tasty. -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 11:51
- garlic mashed potatoes or maybe red bliss mashed? do you have a small metal colander? (i've used that to steam w/ before) -- nm - decline Oct 21, 11:51 4
  - you could also saute the asparagus instead of steaming -- nm - decline Oct 21, 11:52 3
    - Doing a quick google search, I learn I can still steam the aspharagus by just standing them up in the pot. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 11:59 2
      - i maybe crazy, but I never actually use a microwave to cook - only to reheat - decline Oct 21, 12:01 1
        
        Yeah, I'm not actually a fan of that either. No, they're saying just place in a pot of about two inches of boiling water. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 12:18
- double baked potato with the mirco veggies. -- nm - gordon06 Oct 21, 11:50
- Mashed potato -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 11:49

random internet find of the day -- (link) - znufrii Oct 21, 11:41 [Image] 24
- (p.s. for all the nitpicking, this is neat) -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:52 1
  - agreed, even the nitpicking is kinda fun. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 11:59
- When I-24 says Buffalo, they mean...? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:50 2
  - Wyoming -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:52
  - I-25, that is. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:50
- I-2 isn't there (Hawaii) nor is I-37 (San Antonio to Corpus Christi) - ty97 Oct 21, 11:48 2
  - and I-75 continues to Miami now (think that's more recent though) -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:49
  - This goes to con_carne -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:48
- That can't be all of them -- nm - con_carne Oct 21, 11:43 15
  - It's missing the ... what do you call them? Inter-city ones and such. Like I-295 here which loops around Jax. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 21, 11:49 2
    - as cash register boy said, the three digit ones are offshoots or support systems for the interstates - ty97 Oct 21, 11:53 1
      - they're still considered as interstates, as they are part of the interstate system, but I would imagine for the purposes of this map are considered - znufrii Oct 21, 11:57
  - minus all the spurs and bypasses, which ones would they be missing? -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 11:48 4
    - 110 and 405 in LA, and I'm pretty sure those are Interstates -- nm - con_carne Oct 21, 11:50 3
      - anything with three digits is classified as either a spur or bypass and are not included -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 11:51 2
        
        Learn something new.... Also must have something to do with why it says "Eisenhower" -- nm - con_carne Oct 21, 11:56 1
        
        yup. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 11:58
  - They did miss the ones on Hawaii.... -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 11:48 4
    - Nor do they have I-49 through central Louisiana. An old map, maybe? -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 11:50 3
      - I'm thinking it might be based on the original Eisenhower plan, and omits any more recent expansions? - znufrii Oct 21, 11:52 2
        
        My thought also. I-49 is very recent. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 11:53 1
        
        It's also missing I-26 to Charleston, SC -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 11:55
  - Although it is neat I can take the 10 all the way from my house to Jaxie! :-) -- nm - con_carne Oct 21, 11:44 1
    - Yup. 10 starts here and ends in LA. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 21, 11:48

lir Mel - MrsCY is talking to headhunters to see what's out there.... that 12-month idea sounds great. Can I get a copy too? - CrankYanker Oct 21, 11:37 3
- Maybe I should just put it on the wiki? - Mel Profit Oct 21, 11:44 1
  - Please do. -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 11:51
- Not currently looking, but I like the sound of it. Please add me to the cc: list! - Banzai! Oct 21, 11:40

- *berymanders* -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 11:42
- *combo poster*? -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 21, 11:40 3
  - Combos are a crappy snack food. - ty97 Oct 21, 11:40 2
    - Can I send you postcards? - Banzai! Oct 21, 11:41 1
      - You were going to be the Secretary of Pantlessness. - ty97 Oct 21, 11:44
I'm more than willing to share my resumes if you guys want to have at it. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 21, 11:34 2
- Toss one at me, too. I need to give mine a severe reformatting. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 11:43
- Sure, send away. I definitely need to update mine. -- nm - Inigo Oct 21, 11:36
[ an error occured while processing this where the heck is HSX directive ] -- nm - decline Oct 21, 11:34
Thus far, I'm not impressed with HSX's consultants. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:33 23
- As a programmer working for a company in the middle of an upgrade, I am sympathetic. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 11:43
- I was only slightly kidding about the 22nd as my guess in the pool. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 11:41
- As kilbo said, I'm not trying to piling on. But this upgrade/outage issue is not new since the consultants arrived. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:39
- "We'll turn your site on, when you finish paying us the $79" {nm} - Banzai! Oct 21, 11:37 1
  - ha. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 11:37
- I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes, but I'm not surprised that it's taking this long. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:36 16
  - Bery could have had this whole thing up and running in 3 days!!! - nm - JaxSean Oct 21, 11:40
  - I am. No corporate web site should ever be down for seven days. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:37 14
    - Yeh but remember this they were suppose to give us a new music exchange game - eag Oct 21, 11:41 5
      - Movie producting/script game? Like MiniMogul? HSX had that? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:42 4
        
        Minimogul was such a great idea. -- nm - Inigo Oct 21, 11:52
        
        HSX bought out someone...I want to say Virtual Producer. - David Oct 21, 11:43 2
        
        Yep here is the link for it -- (link) - eag Oct 21, 11:47
        
        I remember they did VP for Shadow of the Vampire -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:45
    - Didn't this happen in HSX 2.0 as well? It seem to take forever for HSX to be up and stable. -- nm - Inigo Oct 21, 11:39 2
      - Some of the best times I had on TT were during the 2.0 outage. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:54
      - It did but that was 1999. Much has changed since then. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:41
    - Agreed. I posted that same thing this morning. I wonder how much they've lost in revenue as a result. That should be taken off the fee. {nm} - Banzai! Oct 21, 11:39 4
      - Even banzai.net is still up! -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 21, 11:44
      - certainly, any tracking data they would have sold for this period is going to be somewhat useless -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:40 2
        
        I never understood why HSX went the tracking route. - Inigo Oct 21, 11:43 1
        
        It was explained to me before that the price of the stock isn't reflective of the actual tracking data they sell -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:45
- They are awarded -33 Schmooze Points. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 11:34
the three-weapon bug on CTF is interesting, too -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:33
