- So... will we find out which was the true reality? Dangit. -- nm - con_carne May 11, 13:17
- I heard those middle two were kinda good. Chelsea was terrible. I didn't hate Bent, but stopped watching it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 13:11 3
  - I watched the first few Awakes, kinda liked it but just like Alcatraz said, "Why invest time when I know it will not get renewed?" and quit it. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 11, 13:13 2

    - exactly. -- nm - Beaker May 11, 13:16
I liked the Rock of Ages trailer, although the slow reveal of the lead singer makes it look like Alec Baldwin is the star of the movie. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 13:09 3

Maybe it's just my slow-ass player, but one thing I'm hating about the Blu-Ray era is how effing long discs take to load up. - Reagen May 11, 13:01 17
- It's a lot to do with the player and how fast it loads the BD-Live stuff, etc. but yeah, it sucks. ML is right :) -- nm - oblique May 11, 13:03 2
  - We're sounding eerily similar to a cult these days. -- nm - David May 11, 13:04 1
    - [deleted]
- There are fast boot players out there if you are not married to the one you have. - David May 11, 13:03

    - Hulk has broken a lot of BluRay players. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 13:10 1
      - And Dr. Banner is always leaving all of those snooty foreign language films in the player. -- nm - David May 11, 13:10

After watching Alex Anthoupoulos for two and a half seasons, I live by the rule: If you hear about a trade prior to its announcement, it's not on. - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 12:49 1
- PLLLEEEEAASSSSEEEE don't deal with Anthoupoulos again, Kenny. He's fleeced you enough. - spamlet May 11, 12:57
VLIR: Mop: Drobo in it's most basic incarnation is just direct attached storage. Drobo FS I think is the NAS version. All use RAID - oblique May 11, 12:49 11
- All these NAS cases are so expensive. I'm better off just plugging in an old PC, like you suggested. - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 13:11 1
  - Yes, I was doing that for a while but eventually I figured that the cost of the box was well worth my lack of having to mess around with maintaining a - oblique May 11, 13:17
- What exactly does that do? Is it just hard drive space for multimedia content? - spamlet May 11, 12:56 8
  - When my NAS was running (D-Link DNS-323), it was visible to all the computers on my network as a storage location. It also shared my printer via LAN. - Beryllium May 11, 12:57 1
    - (The only reason it's not running right now is because I'm saving up to buy a car, so I can't drop $$ on hard drives) -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 12:58
  - Drobo? It's just a RAID box so it provides redundant interface for storage (lose a disk, stuff still runs) that is either direct attached or appears - oblique May 11, 12:57 5
    - no, the thingy you bought. - spamlet May 11, 12:57 4
      - Ah, it's kinda similar but it's basically a Linux server so it can provide RAID if you want (or just disk) but it provides applications on top of it - oblique May 11, 12:59 3
        
        Could you put a tuner in it to have network DVR functionality? - spamlet May 11, 13:01 2
        
        i do that with my windows home server. - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 13:07
        
        You can run MythTV on it but I wouldn't recommend it. Mostly you'd use it as the storage location - oblique May 11, 13:03

- Didn't the mom trade mark his likeness. - Mel Profit May 11, 12:53 2
  - The "likeness" is a hoodie without a face, holding a pack of Skittles and iced tea. -- nm - Roger More May 11, 12:55 1
    - If it's Canadian iced tea, it's not as bad -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 12:56
VLIR: b. He's worked for the FBI for the past 36 years (he mentioned it in his talk about being very proud and grateful to his country for the second - oblique May 11, 12:47 6
- right, I meant that the piece I heard made it seem like that talk was in conjunction with them? something like that. -- nm - b. May 11, 12:50 1
  - could be. He did mention that besides his life story he does quite a bit of public speaking about identity theft, etc. -- nm - oblique May 11, 12:51
- I wonder what he thinks of canada's new plastic currency -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 12:48 3
  - There were so many fascinating moments. Like when he talked about going up and down the ticket counters in the airport to cash personal checks - oblique May 11, 12:54
  - I've got one of them in my pocket right now and like the new Loonies and Twonies, they feel like cheap fake money. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 12:50 1
    - It's the 30fps of currency. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 12:52

- Um... -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 12:48 1
  - Heh. :-) None of those three are right for you. -- nm - Krusty May 11, 12:50
- I don't see how bombing this poll could help anything. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 12:48 6
  - See, if everyone votes C, then when MDH talks to his young insider friends about the political impact of this Obama announcement... - TFox May 11, 12:50 2
    - Give me a break. -- nm - MDH May 11, 12:52 1
      - I know these polls are a joke, but bombing them isn't the way to change minds. -- nm - Roger More May 11, 13:00
  - You'd be surprised how people react when they see results to polls like this. -- nm - MDH May 11, 12:49 2
    - *sweet* Here you go. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin May 11, 12:50
    - for instance, a campaign manager could react to it by not addressing the real problem. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 12:50
~I'm going to love you with my hands tied. Show me your teeth~ -- nm - Epiphany May 11, 12:45

  - He made cars AND chili? Geez. Dude was even more of a legend than I thought. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 12:47 1

    - :-) That's funny. I had to get it right though. -- nm - Krusty May 11, 12:43
Vermin - what was the suggestion? -- nm - kare May 11, 12:40 16
- Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. It was afterward... "could you do that over there because it's [as you can imagine] distracting the rest of the class" - Dr.Vermin May 11, 12:57 1
  - Nobody puts mommy in a corner! -- nm - znufrii May 11, 13:14

        i just feel bad for the kid. he'll be 'that kid' forever. -- nm - Andie May 11, 13:01 4
        
        I dunno. I can't help but think that we are doing little more than ridiculing people for being different. -- nm - con_carne May 11, 13:05 2
        
        i'm not ridiculing. i'm saying 'i feel bad for the kid because he'll always be that kid.' - Andie May 11, 13:28
        
        I think I would have been more condemning before I became a parent myself. - Dr.Vermin May 11, 13:10
