How much would you pay for a one-on-one sit-down dinner with a) Obama b) Romney c) George Clooney? - prayformojo Jul 16, 10:12 15
- *puts on his chef's hat* - znufrii Jul 16, 10:21
- Dinner with Romney: $1000, chance to mess up his hair in a food fight: priceless -- nm - ceregon Jul 16, 10:20

- $5k, $0, $0. -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 10:17 1
  - [deleted]
- I've had lunch with George Clooney. - Dano Jul 16, 10:16
- $5, I can't think of any good reason to spend the time on him, spending any money undermines the type of relationship you want with him - Max Jul 16, 10:16
- [deleted]
- $3k -- $4k -- $100 -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 10:14 4
  - You would pay $4,000 to sit down with Romney? There probably wouldn't be any alcohol -- nm - amoxy Jul 16, 10:16 3
    - A chance to actually call him on his bullshit? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 10:17 2
      - You would probably blow out the logic circuits of the Romneybot2012 -- nm - amoxy Jul 16, 10:20
      - I don't think even the dog whisperer could train the barking out of an unruly dog over the course of a meal. - Max Jul 16, 10:18
- nothing -- nm - CQ Jul 16, 10:13
Hey kilbo: I was checking out the Archos players this morning when my iPod was giving me trouble, I can't seem to find anything about adding a memory - sycor Jul 16, 10:11 7
- My son lost his a long time ago and we switched to iPods. I'm not sure anymore what their lineup has - oblique Jul 16, 10:12 6
  - Sorry, didn't realize you guys had gone to the dark side. :) -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 10:13 5
    - It's crazy. We went from having a solo Airport Express (because I liked the AirPlay thing) to having - oblique Jul 16, 10:15 4
      - One of us! One of us! -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 10:19 1
        
        I refuse to entertain them on the PC front. My wife got a sexy 23" Dell all-in-one touchscreen - oblique Jul 16, 10:20
      - I will give them credit for their ability to integrate. Their stuff is just way to expensive for me though. -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 10:16 1
        
        The only things I bought new were the iPods - oblique Jul 16, 10:18
Import your iTunes library into Android with WinAmp for Android. -- (link) - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 10:10 1

- Call me stupid, but why would you refinance to anything with an interest rate? - Will Hunting Jul 16, 10:05 4
  - he is probably making 3.5% on his money, minimum. - groiny Jul 16, 10:09 1
    - this -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 10:11
  - [deleted] 1
    - ^this -- nm - ceregon Jul 16, 10:10
- why would he not just pay cash? I mean, it's a penny to him. the mortgage interest deduction?? -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 10:05 10
  - Maybe he could buy it with Zynga Bucks -- nm - Dano Jul 16, 10:21
  - seriously, just take some cash out of your jeans and pay it. who knows what will happen in the next 5, let alone 30 years. I bet PSU didn't figure on - zork Jul 16, 10:12
  - because he most likely doesn't have 6M in cash -- nm - decline Jul 16, 10:12
  - crazier than that - why would he get an ARM that adjusts *monthly* with a maximum rate of 9.95%? - Max Jul 16, 10:09 6
    - because you get a lower rate initially, and if rates go up, you just pay it off. - ceregon Jul 16, 10:13
    - [deleted] 4
      - still, if I've got an empire that big, the last thing I want to do is watch or pay someone to watch rates on a monthly basis. - Max Jul 16, 10:13 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        look at it this way - if he saves 1% on a $5M loan for the ARM option, that's what, $50k per year? Not worth the effort to me in his position. -- nm - Max Jul 16, 10:23
        
        mo' money contracts mo' problems! -- nm - Max Jul 16, 10:19
- 1% -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 10:04 11
  - but seriously, if you're worth what he is on paper... - znufrii Jul 16, 10:05 9
    - [deleted]
    - cause people like him are not usually liquid at all. He will rarely sell stock and will most times just borrow against his shares. -- nm - decline Jul 16, 10:10 1
      - which is why Mark Cuban getting out of his tech company worked out so well for him. - Beaker Jul 16, 10:16
    - ... to keep assets liquid, maybe? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 10:06 4
      - how is something that is mortgaged more liquid than something you own outright? -- nm - zork Jul 16, 10:07 3
        
        cash is liquid. money tied up in a mortgage is illiquid. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 10:09 2
        
        s/mortgage/house, yeah -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 10:11 1
        
        "here's a cheque" "here's the deed" vs. "here's a cheque" "we have to wait until the mortgage company does all the paperwork" - zork Jul 16, 10:14
    - tax deduction? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 10:05

Ugh, I got invited to a 330am IMAX showing of Dark Knight. - ceregon Jul 16, 09:55 5
- This is why I don't think it breaks opening weekend record. People want IMAX and thers only so many times/screens showing IMAX. -- nm - MDH Jul 16, 09:57
- You got 3 days to get your sleep figured out to make 3:30am just another wake-up time. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 09:56 3
  - But I work a double on Thursday and I'm exhausted when I get home. I'll have enough time for a couple hours sleep. - ceregon Jul 16, 10:11 2
    - yeah but then you had to watch Matrix Revolutions.... -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 10:12 1
      - I liked the first two acts of both matrix sequels...hated the third act in both. -- nm - ceregon Jul 16, 10:15
diving in the pool this morning was fun, but getting vinyl glue in my hair wasn't. My wife laughs at me. *shakes head* -- nm - CQ Jul 16, 09:55

Every little part time job I look at wants someone with a driver's license, even a dog walking position. Ugh!!! - Krusty Jul 16, 09:52 15
- They probably don't want to bring the dogs to you. -- nm - GregW Jul 16, 10:01 1
  - Here the walkers usually go to the apt./house and pick the dog up, walk it and bring it back. I don't really want to do it, I just want to extra work - Krusty Jul 16, 10:09
- Please fill in your information on my ST information index card - oblique Jul 16, 09:58 5
  - I don't need one. The trains and busses get me everywhere I have to go rather quickly. The cost of owning a car is very high here and I wouldn't - Krusty Jul 16, 10:05 3
    - The last sentance in your IM is what surprises me. Why not have it even if you never regularly use it - oblique Jul 16, 10:07 2
      - I've never needed to use a car. I have a non-driver's ID from the state. - Krusty Jul 16, 10:13 1
        
        I lied...I took the bus to Ohio twice in 2004. Worst bus trip ever. - Krusty Jul 16, 10:16
  - many people who live in NYC don't. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 10:01
- because they give you a van, you load up a bunch of dogs and then take them to a park. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 09:56 2
  - I've never seen that here. It may be the case but I haven't heard of it before. - Krusty Jul 16, 10:01 1
    - my best friend is a dog walker, she doesn't drive, but the large companies do this regularly. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 10:03
- so you can drive the dog to the vet in case of an emergency. -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 09:55 1
  - Car service or a cab. :-) - Krusty Jul 16, 09:57
- so you can take the dogs out to the Hampton's beaches, duh -- nm - CQ Jul 16, 09:54 1

Kmart's shilling the Leader Impression 10" Android tablet for $169.99. -- (link) - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 09:52 3
- I always wonder who buys those things -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 09:54 2
  - Weren't these bargain tablets quite the rage on ST a few months back? At 10", that's... like... 3" more than 7"! -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 09:55 1
    - I had the Viewsonic for a while but now with the Galaxy and Fire out, I don't see it as a viable alternative -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 09:55
Damnit. My XP machine won't recognize my iPod again. It may just be easier to get a 32GB MSD card and put it all on my phone. - sycor Jul 16, 09:48 6
