STIS - what can we use to pad crutches were they hit the pits? does Walmart carry something like that? pads? towels with duct tape? - Epiphany Jun 25, 08:42 3
- for now, use the shoulder pads from an old jacket, or tear an old throw pillow in half -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 14:09
- For my daughter we took a towel and wrapped it (and then taped it to hold it). -- nm - pmb Jun 25, 08:47

awww, dangit. Just realized I left my monitor cable at work (and I'm working from home today). No second screen for me. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:29 10
- I get lots of "I forgot my laptop charger" at home calls but very few for monitor cables -- nm - oblique Jun 25, 08:31 4
  - well, how many people have 24" pivoting widescreens at home, where you work? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:32 3
    - You'd think if you spent 3x as much as you need to on the monitor, then two cables for work and home wouldn't be an issue :) -- nm - oblique Jun 25, 08:35 2
      - You'd think that if I already had an adapter to get my mac mini to talk to the monitor, that would be sufficient, but no .... heheh -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:37 1
        
        (Specifically: My mac mini has a DP-to-HDMI adapter, my MBP needs a MiniDP-HDMI adapter ... my mac mini also has a MiniDP-to-VGA adapter ...) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:37
- step out for a few and get a cable. the gain in productivity (today and in the future) will make up for the time used. -- nm - zork Jun 25, 08:31 3
  - It's a macbook pro - getting a cable means also getting a stupid adapter for $30 :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:31 2
    - step out for a few and get a non-Apple computer. the gain in productivity (today and in the future) will make up for the time used. -- nm - zork Jun 25, 08:32 1

- Just spray some silly string in your ear -- nm - oblique Jun 25, 07:55 1
  - I don't think this would work the way you think it would work. -- nm - sycor Jun 25, 07:57
- google the model number? (Are they replaceable?) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 25, 07:49 4
  - yeah. It's just the gray thin foam piece that pads your ears. -- nm - sycor Jun 25, 07:53 3
    - I would google the model number and "replacement" -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 08:13 2
      - meh. They are only $15 headphones. I just like the way they fit my noggin. I'm not gonna buy foam pads online. Need local. -- nm - sycor Jun 25, 08:19 1

RIM may split business -- (link) - Beaker Jun 25, 07:45 4
- It really is disappointing because neither Apple nor Google offer the enterprise level management tools that RIM does for their handsets - oblique Jun 25, 07:55 2
  - And your employees loathe you putting BBs into their hands :) - spamlet Jun 25, 08:22 1

Washington Post's TV critic did not think much of The Newsroom (and a lot of what he points out is what turns me off about Sorkin) -- (link) - prayformojo Jun 25, 07:44 1
- It's an imperfect pilot as opposed to Studio 60, which is the best I've ever seen. - Other David Jun 25, 07:56
For those sports fans who may have missed it over the weekend, you should really do yourself a favour and find Mark Cuban destroying Skip Bayliss -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:41 13
- The echo from it is about to finish circling the earth and hit Skip again. -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 07:47
- There is a quandary for who I hate more. -- nm - Bacon Jun 25, 07:42 11
  - It's very hard to hate Cuban in the clip -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 07:45 10
    - I didn't watch it. I hated him pre clip. -- nm - Bacon Jun 25, 07:47 5
      - You might still hate him after, but during ... During is something to behold. - Beryllium Jun 25, 07:53 4
        
        Bayliss gets people to watch by doing what everyone hates. He's a stupid shock host -- nm - Bacon Jun 25, 07:55 3
        
        He's certainly not qualified to talk basketball. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 07:59 2
        
        Drop the word basketball and your Subject Line is right on -- nm - Bacon Jun 25, 08:02 1

    - I hate him -- nm - Skip Bayliss Jun 25, 07:46 3
      - I'm not even sure that that's true; Baylis would have to understand what was happening .. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 07:47 2
        
        I'm sure someone has let him know what happened by now :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:48 1
