      - well, that's just effing awesome -- nm - zork Jan 22, 07:39
      - and the same thing works on the search page now -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 07:38
  - not sure this worked at home but we'll have to check. - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:33
- it's an improvement over trying to bomb us... -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 07:32 5
  - some of them probably wanted to before they went to prison. they probably ALL want to now. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 07:34 4

    - "What does this word mean: exacerbate? hehehe...I 'exacerbated' last night. hehehe." -- nm - George W. Bush Jan 22, 07:35

      - yes, that really sucks both ways. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 07:34

bery, how about a button to click that would freeze the timestamp to that moment? that way I could click a greyed link and come back to the board ... - zork Jan 22, 07:30 8
- interesting idea. Not sure how to implement it yet, but you're not the only person who would want it -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 07:31 7
  - What does the grey mean again? Bery, you are doing such an swesome job. -- nm - lileve Jan 22, 07:32 6
    - it means "this post is new since you last looked at B1" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 07:34 3
      - still thinking about the throw-away-handle/nick field? -- nm - zork Jan 22, 07:36 2
        
        Yep, it's on the list on the Project Info page -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 07:36 1
        
        jeebus your good. - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:40
    - I think it means there are curse words in the IM. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 07:33 1

What is the grey shaded area behind a few posts? -- nm - Redmond Jan 22, 07:28 9
- I see the shading on slickertalk, but not on slackertalk. That tricksy Beryllium... -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 07:30 3
  - oh, there's a trick to it: You don't see it the first time you load the page. - Beryllium Jan 22, 07:33 1
    - I see. : ) -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 07:34
  - tricksy, heh. -- nm - zork Jan 22, 07:33
- it indicates a new post since last time you refreshed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 07:29 4
  - indeed. it's one of two new features I added lat night. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 07:30 3
    - me likey a lot! -- nm - lileve Jan 22, 07:33
    - cool. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 07:31
    - I like it as long is it ain't fucking orange -- nm - Redmond Jan 22, 07:30
Do we know about 1saleaday.com? Isn't it just a copy of the woot business plan? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 22, 07:26
And, so we're clear, the TDK snub is a boil on the taint of the Wall-E snub. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 07:25 9
- WALL-E got a writing nod I wasn't expecting. -- nm - David Jan 22, 07:27 3
  - That's one of those "Well, we can't find a place for it in the top 5" consolation prize noms. Glad to see it though. -- nm - Jim Jan 22, 07:29 1
    - I would just as soon presume it was nominated on its merits - znufrii Jan 22, 07:32
  - and the best-written part of it is the half without dialog. - znufrii Jan 22, 07:29
- epic fail - Beryllium Jan 22, 07:27 4
  - Slumdog is, and I suspect Button is too. Past that, I've got nothing. The other 3 look like they could be blended together into a boringness smoothie. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 07:28 3
    - . . . with original score by Sigur Ros. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 22, 07:53

Speaking of Oscar songs: The elevator plays what I presume is classic Indian instumental music. - ty97 Jan 22, 07:20 1
- This is exactly what India is like in my head. And you *have* to go to a movie. See 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' for me! -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 07:27
LYC: our raises were frozen for 2009 - top to bottom - Epiphany Jan 22, 07:18 16
- lyc: got my highest rating and lowest raise this year. -- nm - budice Jan 22, 07:33
- I was surprised to get an OK raise. but that is what I get no matter what. never a big raise. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 07:24
- *works on unfreezing Pippy's top and bottom* - zork Jan 22, 07:23 1
  - hee -- nm - Epiphany Jan 22, 07:25
- I got my highest rating ever this year. So I'm sure there will be little to no raises. -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 07:23 1
  - Murphy's Law in effect -- nm - Epiphany Jan 22, 07:26
- I haven't had a raise in years. Since 06, I think. -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 07:22
- Sucks but you still have a job. Not cutting pay are they? -- nm - lileve Jan 22, 07:21 7
  - No - but I refuse to look at it like that. I'm still doing the same job, I could do it for more elsewhere - Epiphany Jan 22, 07:23 6
    - Yes, I agree. -- nm - lileve Jan 22, 07:26
    - ^5 -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 07:23 4

        I see - heh - zork made me laugh with his post about you being a symbol - Epiphany Jan 22, 07:27
        
        the artist formerly known as ty97? -- nm - zork Jan 22, 07:25
- *high five* us over here too. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 07:20
So, no Wall-E for BP, no Dracula's Lament for best song? - TFox Jan 22, 07:15 7
- OMG, that was the hardest I had laughed in a long time. spoilers - Amy Jan 22, 07:19 4
  - Seriously, I couldn't get any air. I was weeping; I thought a lung was going to collapse. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 22, 07:55
  - I haven't laughed at a movie that hard in awhile. That song killed. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:25
  - There is a extra thing on the DVD of Segal doing it at a table read, and Mila and Kristen's faces are priceless. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 07:22 1
    - agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 22, 07:22

- It's not a snub if it's not deserved. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 07:32
- Watch me light a match to ST...it didn't deserve it. - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:20 22
  - Is it better than The Reader? -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 07:41 1
    - Have you even seen The Reader? -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 07:41
  - I agree with this. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 22, 07:36
  - I agree with this. -- nm - Redmond Jan 22, 07:35
  - Put me in this camp. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 07:31
  - While I agree that it's overrated, it deserves a spot before The Reader does for damn sure. - David Jan 22, 07:25 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - The other critically adored movie to earn $500+ million domestically won 11 Oscars. - David Jan 22, 07:33 5
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Who's not calm? Stop projecting. -- nm - David Jan 22, 07:47
        
        it's possible the Academy sees something in it that the critics didn't - znufrii Jan 22, 07:38 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Ricky Gervais is right. -- nm - LMS Jan 22, 07:41
  - I agree on both counts. -- nm - LMS Jan 22, 07:23
  - yep. -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 07:23
  - I agree. - znufrii Jan 22, 07:22
  - [deleted]
  - It's just not the market for the Academy Awards -- nm - Guigue Jan 22, 07:22 2
    - this is my feeling - Epiphany Jan 22, 07:24 1
      - Had they stuck Leger's performance in the first one I'd be the first one on the barricades over a BP Snub. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:30
  - I've got your back on this one. I feel the exact same way, for the exact same reason. -- nm - kelly Jan 22, 07:21
  - great minds and all that.. -- nm - Jim Jan 22, 07:21
- This just in (and with apologies to Spawn) it wasn't Best Picture worthy. nm - Jim Jan 22, 07:20 1
  - Jim said it first. *points* -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:21
- I shorted the nom but I am not proud of it -- nm - Epiphany Jan 22, 07:17
- As though anyone cares if someone goes out on a limb on an Oscar prediction and gets it wrong. It's an Oscar prediction. - TFox Jan 22, 07:17
- And here was I thinking The Reader stole Rev Road's thunder, rather than TDK's. - LMS Jan 22, 07:16
[deleted] 10
- isn't all music derivative from or influenced by some source? - ty97 Jan 22, 07:12 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - The Academy thinks it's original. -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 07:19 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        You're jumping tracks, I think. Are we discussing the eligibility (originality) of Slumdog's soundtrack? Or the quality of the nomination? - ty97 Jan 22, 07:25 1
        
        [deleted]
- How many of those interminable Diane Warren songs were derivative from crap? -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 07:10 2
  - wow, I knew some of her work, but I never knew she wrote Blame it on the Rain (Milli Vanilli) and Nothing's Going to Stop Us Now (Starship) -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 07:12 1
    - she's one of history's greatest villains. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 07:14
- One of the songs is from "Dom"--it's a recycle. I knew I'd heard it before. -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 07:09
more for Will: whether it's a norovirus or bacterial food poisoning, it's most likely not something you were exposed to yesterday. Probably Monday or - loosilu Jan 22, 07:04 10
- That house is getting cleaned from top to bottom tonight. - kelly Jan 22, 07:07 9
  - you don't need a super strong solution. concentrate on bathrooms. - loosilu Jan 22, 07:07 8
    - oh, and doorknobs. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 07:08 7
      - Hey, that link sounds about right re: symptoms. - Will Hunting Jan 22, 07:16 6
        
        yeah. - kelly Jan 22, 07:19
        
        do you have chills and shivering? that would not be expected with food poisoning. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 07:17 3
        
        Nope, i'm a tad chilly, but this house is drafty. - Will Hunting Jan 22, 07:22 2
        
        well, it's not a universal symptom. I had it bad. If I were you I'd skip the doc (do you really want to drive?) - loosilu Jan 22, 07:24 1
        
        Nah, i'm going to the docs. THey might have good drugs :) -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 22, 07:24
        
        yup, as soon as Kelly emailed me I knew. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 07:16
i just haven't been able to figure out why some posts on ST have a faint highlight to them. i thought it was my browser going weird. - prayformojo Jan 22, 07:04 10
- I get it too. -- nm - lileve Jan 22, 07:22
- It is indeed.. I also didn't get it for a while.. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 22, 07:05 8
  - I also really like the link feature. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 07:06 7
    - what's the link feature? -- nm - zork Jan 22, 07:18 3
      - when someone posts a link here, you don't have to open their post any more to click on it. - loosilu Jan 22, 07:19 2
        
        Bery is so awesome. What wonderful improvements. -- nm - lileve Jan 22, 07:27
        
        thanks -- nm - zork Jan 22, 07:26
    - Heh, I asked for it yesterday and it's there! I know it's a coincidence but still, good work Bery! -- nm - Guigue Jan 22, 07:09 2
      - I don't think its a coincidence. I think Bery is just that good. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 07:12 1
        
        Then I also want to be able to navigate the site like it's Second life, and I want it tonight. Go! -- nm - Guigue Jan 22, 07:13
LYC: here's the "not wank" urinal ... -- (link) - zork Jan 22, 07:04 [Image] 3

- Hey Deevs...check the last one. - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:03 6
  - Sounds good. It's all the stuff I normally do without all the paper. -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 07:10 5
    - and with my new Ipod we'll have it right there. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:11 4
      - hmmm. that ipod touch. it works in foreign countries, yes? -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 07:16 3
        
        I don't honestly know. It's pretty amazing... - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:17 2
        
        it should, right? because it works on wireless networks? no having to deal with phone systems? - loosilu Jan 22, 07:18 1
        
        Yep... - Mel Profit Jan 22, 07:23
- Blip looks nifty to me. -- nm - Callisto Jan 22, 07:02
