See if I got this right....DC's going apes**t for an event that happened soon after every time Cape Canaveral was too cloudy to land the shuttle? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 17, 08:14 4
- It normally flew at 1500 feet over DC? -- nm - mara Apr 17, 08:16
- It does present a good opportunity to go outside and yell "De Plane! De Plane!" -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:15
- they didn't do a downtown flyover those times, did they? plus it's the last fight. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 08:15

Nine military personnel, in addition to the 11 Secret Service dudes, may have also been "involved in the carousing" in Colombia... -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 17, 08:11 6
- [deleted] 4
  - That quote is not in the article. It only discusses two women. And I assume being Colombian makes them "foreign nationals". -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 17, 08:49
  - eesh. -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 08:24
  - okay, now I am getting why peeps are so up in arms -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 08:24
  - yikes -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 08:22
- At least Hillary knows how to party responsibly. -- nm - MDH Apr 17, 08:12
Discovery just touched down. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 08:06 2
- Go for two!! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 17, 08:06 1

- um, duh? -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:34
- Awesome. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 17, 08:05 1
  - Megafrack versus Giant Oilstrom -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 08:33
Besides, if Max were really going to quit, he should have done so before The Hunger Games opened. -- nm - David Apr 17, 08:04 2
- max is a quality dude, and I am very displeased at what transpired yesterday. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 08:05 1
  - Exactly. I am all for jokes but last night was anything but. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:43

Question if you have a Roku -- for Amazon videos, if you buy a movie how quick can it be viewed via the Roku? - Will Hunting Apr 17, 08:00 14
- Second question --- what format does the instant stream work with? - Will Hunting Apr 17, 08:10 8
  - It adjusts but will be HD to the Roku if the bandwidth is there - oblique Apr 17, 08:14
  - depends on the model and the content. low end = 720p . high end = 1080p -- nm - decline Apr 17, 08:14 1
    - 480p, FTW!!! -- nm - hqmiserable Apr 17, 08:23
  - In general, unless you change a setting, it will stream the highest quality. But I believe the lower-end Roku's cant do full HD. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 17, 08:13
  - Depends on the service. You can get HD on Amazon if you have the bandwidth. -- nm - David Apr 17, 08:12 3
    - Dammit, I shoulda just broke down and bought the Potters last week for $32 when they were $4 each. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 08:15 2
      - the entire set on bluray was a pretty good price via amazon.uk, not sure if that price still is there though - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:21
      - FWIW, we picked up years 1-7 in a used media store for about $30. - David Apr 17, 08:17
- 3 hours. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:06
- roku is all streaming - so instant -- nm - decline Apr 17, 08:02
- Instantly streamed. -- nm - David Apr 17, 08:02
- I think it's streamed. I stream the prime content. -- nm - lileve Apr 17, 08:01
- Instantly. It streams -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:01
Oh my, should we charter this for the next Vegastravaganza? -- (link) - MojaveMeg Apr 17, 07:54 47
- I wonder how much a " treatment" is? and it won't last long - because sooner or later - someone is going to die while hooked up - Epiphany Apr 17, 08:14
- likely, there will be no one left to go. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 07:59 41
  - :( This makes me very sad. You folk are my constant connection with the real world. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 17, 08:02 40
    - well, unfortunatly, judging by recent events, some things are going to have to change. - groiny Apr 17, 08:04 39
      - the thing is, st is unable to police itself - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:16 35
        
        we used to do a better job policing. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 08:17 34
        
        i'm not sure that has been true since ST started. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:22 33
        
        Plus, I'm not sure what Bery or we should police here. - Inigo Apr 17, 08:28 2
        
        honestly, i dont know - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:30
        
        well, we see how well the pact worked, someone new just gets pulled into it. - groiny Apr 17, 08:30
        
        ST doesn't need policing. It needs people to act like respectful individuals to each other - oblique Apr 17, 08:24 21
        
        i couldnt agree more, but too many of these things have festered for far too long. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:29
        
        well, good luck with that. - groiny Apr 17, 08:27 18
        
        And no one has the respect of anyone in the mix, so really.....it's the answer. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 08:30
        
        to each their own, but fundamentally, that's chicken and the egg problem - oblique Apr 17, 08:29 16
        
        I like you oblique, but this is bs. - groiny Apr 17, 08:32 15
        
        can i just say something - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:34 2
        
        because people are not held accountable. - groiny Apr 17, 08:35 1
        
        i hadnt really thought of that. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:38
        
        keeping to oneself != respect, imo -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:33 11
        
        i know what you are saying, but, if it's the best way to keep the peace for the common good, i would say that is a respectful move. -- nm - Andie Apr 17, 08:34 9
        
        It's semantics, I know. It keeps the peace and is a nice thing but it doesn't really solve anything - oblique Apr 17, 08:36 8
        
        the thing is you can't police how someone feels about something. only that person can. all anyone can do is control their own actions and feelings. - Andie Apr 17, 08:37 7
        
        I'm not really looking for policing options but as Spawn said, food for thought and hoping people can make those internal changes - oblique Apr 17, 08:40 2
        
        stop saying that, its making me hungry. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:41 1
        
        totally, what's for lunch today? -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:42
        
        true. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:40 3
        
        forced rolls might do the trick. - znufrii Apr 17, 08:46 2
        
        maybe, but how many times have seen see a fresh roll spoiled by spillover. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:48 1
        
        then you keep rolling it until whoever's involved gets the f*cking point. -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 08:52
        
        As I have said, I am *trying* to show some respect for ST. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:34
        
        this. -- nm - decline Apr 17, 08:26
        
        An alcohol ban on ST might be a good first step. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:23 7
        
        That's just silly and downright unenforceable. -- nm - Inigo Apr 17, 08:29 1
        
        As are anything this thread produces. - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:30
        
        *quits* -- nm - half of ST Apr 17, 08:24 4
        
        At first it seems like that. But for example if you think about it, you never see drunk texty Dawson on ST. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:27 2
        
        to say that the majority of the issues are booze related posts is not accurate -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 08:29 1
        
        Historically, agreed. - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:29
        
        buwhaaa -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 08:25
      - Meanwhile a couple unquality are still here! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 17, 08:08 2
        
        well, if that's the way you really feel about me... *sniff* -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 08:28
        
        this is true, too bad we can not send them to District 13. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 08:09
- I just want to know what you were googling to find that. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 07:57 2
  - Hee, was waiting for that question. It was actually featured on this morning's Today show. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 17, 08:01
  - It's been showing up in my feed reader so it's been in the news recently. - TWuG Apr 17, 08:01
- I ain't waiting for Vegas -- nm - Diva si Apr 17, 07:56
*starts a Wiggles tribute band* -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 07:43 1

- So I guess you won't be signing up for Summer Stalker this year. -- nm - Roger More Apr 17, 07:49 4
  - i challenge whoever gets ML to send him something packers related, preferrably something that is fireproof. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 07:50 3
    - *begins searching for Packers zubaz* -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 07:51 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        You have to cross the state line to do it. -- nm - Roger More Apr 17, 07:54
- nice. -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 07:47
- I was expecting Kirby Pucketts head in the box. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 07:46
