    - I'm glad to hear all tests are negative, and know you'll be thrilled to take him back home. -- nm - Callisto Oct 22, 07:36
    - Doesn't that suck? Is he in the giant metal cage/crib? I slept in there with Logan. -- nm - Amy Oct 22, 07:35
  - yeah...was thinking of you guys yesterday -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 07:28 1
    - You were thinking of me??? That's so sweet. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 07:29

LYC: Word....nm - x Oct 22, 07:26 5

    - wait, which market are we talking about - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:29
  - *flips out* -- nm - Jim SI Oct 22, 07:27 1
    - Way to keep it alive. Can't wait to see how you bring it to the next board. nm - Jim Oct 22, 07:30
dudes, do we love today's shirt woot? I can't decide. -- (link) - dracula loves mandy lane Oct 22, 07:24 9
- i love it, but i'll never get it by Halloween. :( -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 07:35
- I was thinking of buying one for the guy who runs our horror site. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 22, 07:30 1
  - Not sure D Mac needs more t-shirts -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 07:36
- It's pretty good, but I wouldn't say I love it. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 22, 07:29
- mmm...it's okay. I'm really sad I missed out on the glow in the dark ghosts the other day though. -- nm - Callisto Oct 22, 07:26 2
  - Yes, I liked that one. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 07:35
  - You can still but it -- (link) - ty97 Oct 22, 07:35
- Not for $10...no. We don't love it. ;) -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 07:26
- Too busy, I prefer simpler designs. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 22, 07:26
Some asshole posted "Say hi to your mother for me" five times in one of the Support threads - Mr. Havens Oct 22, 07:24 7
- That damn Marky Mark. -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 22, 07:38
- you must be talking about Palo! -- nm - Redmond Oct 22, 07:26
- I'd check but I can't get in for longer than 2 minutes -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 07:26 1
  - I got to the main page once this morning, but not since, and not to forums or blogs. Oh, and I got to a poll from the link earlier. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 07:26
- It's not hard to post multiple times on accident, or on purpose. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 07:25
- It's only 7:24 in California. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 07:25 1
  - Yeah, but the site was up during regular business hours yesterday -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 22, 07:28
On a scale of 1-10 (1 is not at all, 10 is "you're fired") how worried are you about the safety of your job of the next 12 months? -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 07:22 20
- 11 - My last day is 11/26. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 07:36 1
  - I almost posted 'sorry CT' in the IM :/ -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 07:37
- 3 -- nm - secretslacker Oct 22, 07:36
- 2ish, which is always my level of readiness. I'm in imports which has slowed a little in the last month, but is coming off a record year otherwise. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 22, 07:34
- 7. I could be outsouced at any time. And, our budget shortfall is in the millions. -- nm - Amy Oct 22, 07:33
- 1, but I'll definitely be firing some people. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 07:28 2
  - On Christmas Eve, Mr. Burns?? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 22, 07:30 1
    - Wouldn't rule it out. *rubs hands together* -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 07:32
- 3. I seem to be a valuable player in an important project, but if things get bad enough, even it could be cancelled. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 22, 07:28
- I'll say 4 maybe up to 5...mainly because you just never know. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 07:27
- 1 -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 07:27
- 1 -- nm - Redmond Oct 22, 07:26
- 1. - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:26
- 6. Non-profit entertainment could take a big hit in this climate. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 07:24
- I'd say an 8. I don't think anyone should be 100% comfortable at this point, but it would be awfully hard to divvy out my work to others. - Callisto Oct 22, 07:24 1
  - oops. I mean 2, not 8. -- nm - Callisto Oct 22, 07:34
- 5. I'm in the mortgage business, but in a support role. - JaxSean Oct 22, 07:23
- 1. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 22, 07:23
- 1, although I'm sort of assuming we may eventually get to no raises or even pay cuts. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 07:23
- 6 -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 07:23
this is the first i've ever heard about a "system" for using LYC - zork Oct 22, 07:22 5
- This is the first time I've ever heard of slackers using any kind of "system" for slacking -- nm - secretslacker Oct 22, 07:32
- AFAIAC, this topic is completely ridiculous. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 07:28
- I think by "system" he means "custom." There are customary ways we do things. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 07:24 2
  - i've been in the community for three years and you would think that a custom like this would have become apparent by now. - zork Oct 22, 07:28 1
    - once again ... the issue is that Jim does not like my posts, period. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 07:28
I hope you guys aren't bored of talking about HSX sucking already, because I've just taken it for a spin, and wish to note that IT IS TEH SUCK. - emoticripple Oct 22, 07:20 15
- Oh, I can kick that fucking dog all day today! (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 07:26 1
  - He is (spoilers) - emoticripple Oct 22, 07:28
- The lack of daily change column does make things impossible. I couldn't even tell if the bonds adjusted. And you can't research bond tags at all. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 07:25
- I tried to make one trade today and gave up. Not sure if it went through or not. Otherwise, I'll wait for a month or so before trying again. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 07:22 5
  - I am going to dump my entire port on Commish free day as others have suggested. -- nm - Redmond Oct 22, 07:26 1
    - This is a great idea. We should all sell and cover every damn thing in our ports on the same day. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 07:27
  - I sold PAYNE, which worked, then shorted it, which did not. It's good that you don't have to load a whole page, but trade confirmation is a must. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 07:23 2
    - After you trade, click in the QTY box. That will refresh the Trade Now! area and get rid of the 'Trade submitted' message - Roger More Oct 22, 07:26 1
      - Thanks! If I can ever load it again, I'll try that. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 07:27
- I'd really stopped activily playing a few years back, would buy stuff every few months, but TT kept me coming back. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 07:21
- I can't get in again, but then again, i don't want to get back in -- nm - amoxy Oct 22, 07:21
- that seems to be the overall theme of it. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:21 3
  - What's worse is that they seem to have learned nothing whatsoever from beta. If anything, it's worse than it was in the test. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 07:22 2
    - no, what is really strange is that after 12+ years of HSX operation - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:24 1
      - Should we really call it an upgrade? It's changed so drastically it's practically a launch of a brand new site. A lame, unwanted, afunctional one. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 07:26
I have to say that I'm at least somewhat amused that 9 people have responded to my blog post (and I don't know who any of them are). - pmb Oct 22, 07:17 3
- if I could get a page to load succesfully, I might post on a blog. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:20 2
  - even the forums, it wants me to install something...there goes posting at work -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 07:20 1
    - I actually don't think that install message is meant for the end user. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 07:21
new Watchmen Trailer -- (link) - Remlik Oct 22, 07:16
wait, what? - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:16 1
- arg, sorry, this was meant to be a reply to someone, stupid hsx site is confusing me here. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:16
This is so cool. Most of the time, I don't even remember that this *isn't* TT. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 07:16 1
- I know it's not TT because this site doesn't suck balls. -- nm - Redmond Oct 22, 07:16
Randomly, the more weigh I lose, the fatter I feel I look - ty97 Oct 22, 07:15 13
- I am working out like a crazy man to avoid loose skin. Down 26 pounds. -- nm - Redmond Oct 22, 07:25 6
  - does that have any effect on loose skin? curious. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:25 5
    - it does not. -- (link) - Callisto Oct 22, 07:32 2
      - If you look at the bottom of the link you posted it says it does. -- nm - Redmond Oct 22, 07:37 1
        
        "You may find that in time, as you continue to exercise, your skin will become more firm as you tone up and increase muscle." -- nm - Redmond Oct 22, 07:38
    - I am trying to replace the fat with muscle. So I had the most fat on my belly and I am trying to do sit ups and crunches to replace it. - Redmond Oct 22, 07:29 1
      - Basically my theory is fill the fat space with muscle and there wont' be loose skin. -- nm - Redmond Oct 22, 07:30
- Right now, I'm pretty small in size, but I feel *huge* for some reason. -- nm - Amy Oct 22, 07:21
- I think that's a totally normal feeling for someone in your situation. - Inigo Oct 22, 07:21 1
  - I had thought about that :) - ty97 Oct 22, 07:30
- makes sense - znufrii Oct 22, 07:19
- Don't worry about how you look right now. Concentrate on how your clothes fit. (Eventually you do want to think about toning up, I guess, though.) -- nm - mara Oct 22, 07:17 1
  - yeah, it's not tone up time yet. Still more to lose. - ty97 Oct 22, 07:18
September's mass layoffs highest since 9/11, according to U.S. Labor Department. -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 07:13 2
- The stock exchange is back up and gas prices are down... does that mean everyone gets their job back? -- nm - secretslacker Oct 22, 07:16 1
  - the stock market is back up?....nm - x Oct 22, 07:17
*sigh* -- nm - amoxy Oct 22, 07:13
...in which Glenn Greenwald takes a look at what's causing GOP mouthpieces to apologize for their character attacks on Democrats -- (link) - znufrii Oct 22, 07:10
Oh, if new hsx ever works, I wonder how many flagged offensive posts you need to get banned. -- nm - Amy Oct 22, 06:59 32
- I hope it's one.. Here is the post I just made there, and I hope they block my IP.. - Marlowe Oct 22, 07:02 24
  - Paragraph breaks were deprecated in HTML 4.01, so it's not necessarily their fault the board code doesn't recognize it. So you have to br twice - Mr. Havens Oct 22, 07:19 6
    - The only way it could be worse is if the menus were in Russian and they used flashing pink instead of orange.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 07:25 1
      - *laughing* -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 07:25
    - Yes, it is their fault. I shouldn't have to do two break html code. I'm the new user. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 07:21 3
      - It's HSX fault the paragraph code was deprecated? - Mr. Havens Oct 22, 07:27 2
        
        The fact is it is a text box. I shouldn't *have* to write code to make it legible. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 07:37
        
        Weren't you the one accusing a dude of brownosing yesterday or the day before? (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 07:30
  - Yeah, I was hoping agaisnt hope this was just a minor tweek, and we would complain about it for a few years but still post - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 07:17
  - i'm not annoyed that much yet but you're right on a lot of points sofar - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 07:08
  - Holy Schmoozing Xerxes, Marlowe!! -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 07:08
  - so, what are you saying is that the value of the H$ is dropping - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:06 6
    - cheaper money => prices rise => asset bubble => bubble bursts horribly -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 07:12 2
      - wonders if I can exchange my H$ for something more stable. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:15 1
        
        Until someone creates a schmoozebot, I'm not sure it will have much effect. - Roger More Oct 22, 07:17
    - i'm getting a Zimbabwean feel for the HDollar -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 07:10
    - also, ie has been trying to load www.hsx.com for 5 mins. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:08 1
      - oh look, it loaded, then crashed when I tried to get to the misc board. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:10
  - hey, I just read that! I wondered who was complimenting them on a job well done. -- nm - mafic Oct 22, 07:05 6
    - Heh.. Since that post is likely to be lost, I wanted ot save in Tron's posterity here.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 07:06 5
      - cut and paste it in a word doc -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 07:14
      - which means it will be gone after the 20th board -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 07:13 3
        
        Isn't Tron working here? (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 07:18 2
        
        no, but all of the boards are being saved so that he can get it working. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:20 1
        
        OK, that's good enough for me.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 07:22
- you have the right NOT to be offended -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 07:02
- just flag every post as offensive. - mafic Oct 22, 07:00 4
  - they probably have some program that just alerts them to offensive words in a post. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:08 2
    - I wonder if IRYS counts double? -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 07:36
    - I'm wondering that if someone just pisses you off for any reason, you can flag all their posts and get them banned. -- nm - Amy Oct 22, 07:13
  - make DMac work for his pay! -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 07:01
- let's test it on fraskel...starting Nov 5th if he posts again. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 06:59
Brian, what you found conflicts with what I found about the executions. I'll have to dig more. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 06:58 2
- I'll be interested to see what you can find. I also don't think they were imprisoned at Ft. McNair - Brian Oct 22, 07:12 1
  - Scratch that, it looks like you were right about the imprisonment - Brian Oct 22, 07:16
hey Jim, you can killfile. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 06:56 29
- If HSX offers you their sucky board, will you take another demotion and go the fuck away from ST? -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 07:30
- Alot of people can't use firefox at work. -- nm - Amy Oct 22, 07:00 27
  - true. but I don't see why he bothers complaining when he can just ignore. tons of people use LYC. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:01 26
    - There it is. "he an just ignore". I've ignored you for months at a time...and truly, it is much more pleasant for me, I'll give you that. - Jim Oct 22, 07:14 11
      - slow day for things to complain about? -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:15 10
        
        That must be it. -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 07:16 9
        
        you nkow how someone complains about your firsts? this is equally stupid. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:16 8
        
        I know this won't matter to you, but I'll post it anyway. I didn't complain on B2. I simply asked you a question. nm - Jim Oct 22, 07:18 7
        
        because of whiners like you. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:19 6
        
        Ya know what...if that was really why you did it, it would make more sense. nm - Jim Oct 22, 07:21 4
        
        so dog everyone else who does it. I don't give a shit. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:23 3
        
        The fact that you're responding suggests you very much give a shit. nm - Jim Oct 22, 07:26 2
        
        i think it's more that she is bugged that you are on her case and not the content of the argument -- nm - zork Oct 22, 07:30 1
        
        Thank you for explaining to us how loosi feels. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 07:35
        
        ...and ask your buddy mandy, since I think it's her schtick in the first place. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:19
    - you mean, the people that say lyc - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:13 12
      - that's what I always do. it's just an idiot thing to complain about. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:15 11
        
        well, I looked at b2 - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:17 10
        
        Jim hates everything I do, that's what. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:18 9
        
        Again...look at my post. I asked a question: Why? - Jim Oct 22, 07:19
        
        sure he doesn't - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:19 7
        
        I use it always. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:20 6
        
        wait, really. - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:22 5
        
        oh, I see. well, that's not at all what he was complaining about. -- nm - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:23 4
        
        Honestly, I don't think anyone would care it's just, well, you have about 100.000 posts. 3% of every board. - Amy Oct 22, 07:28 1
        
        that's fine, so be honest about it. and ignore. which is what you always tell me to do with Spawn. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 07:29
        
        I will not speak for jim - tRuMaN Oct 22, 07:25 1
        
        from what I understand, he doesn't want to read any of the LYCs I post, - loosilu in the nook in the attic Oct 22, 07:26
    - it's like any other post. you read the subject or part of it and move on if you don't find it interesting. big deal. -- nm - zork Oct 22, 07:12
Upgrade! -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 06:55 3
- DOWNgrade -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 06:56
- Upskirt! -- nm - zork Oct 22, 06:56 1
