Name me a good iphone app to identify music playing around me. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 15:15 8
- So, instead of a scavenger hunt, we all decided to do this. Bravo. *clap..... clap..... clap.....* -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 15:31
- I've heard some pretty good things about Shazam -- nm - Stephen Jul 20, 15:24
- Shazam -- nm - amoxy Jul 20, 15:23
- Has anyone mentioned Shazam yet? - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:22
- Shazam. - ty97 Jul 20, 15:17 1
  - (I immediately felt like I was in an Abbott and Costello routine. "Shazam!" "Okay, you worked your magic, where's the link?!") -- nm - Max Jul 20, 15:18
- Shazam -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 15:16
- Shazam. done -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 15:15
Miranda Kerr. Miranda Kerr. Miranda Kerr. -- (link) - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:12 1
- is she running hurdles? -- nm - dogbert Jul 20, 15:14
And with that, ladies and gentlemen...*removes pants* - Tim Jul 20, 15:12 4

- Woo! Don't you love not having to "dress" in work clothes??? (or maybe just "clothes"?) -- nm - JenBro Jul 20, 15:25
- Pants party! - Brick Vermin Jul 20, 15:14
- *averts eyes* -- nm - mara Jul 20, 15:12
Dreamworks Animation (not to be confused with Dreamworks) has made a bid for Classic Media, which owns... - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:09
Amateur hour. "Trendy" online magazine 3:AM Magazine loses 12 years of archives when mysterious hosts shut down server. - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:06 1
- And an accounting by the site operator as to what happened and how they recovered. - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:21
I'd sure like to know how they did some of these. -- (link) - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:01
I just caught up w/Suits. *Spoiler* - Krusty Jul 20, 14:58 2
- (Suits has risen to be among my top five favorite 'current' shows, along with Castle and Justified) -- nm - Max Jul 20, 15:03
- I know! argh. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 15:02
Microsoft fixes 'big boobs' coding gaffe -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Jul 20, 14:53

- I think I might like this. It's so hard to find a check-out clerk sometimes at a dept. store, doing it myself is better. - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:24 2
  - The exits won't be deserted. There will be people whose job it is to be available at the self checkouts in case people need help voiding stuff, etc. -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 15:30 1
    - This, indeed. I perceive this as a complete re-imagining of JCP and maybe something that can save it. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:50
- so if I use the self serve lane, and I don't know how to use it, and they haven't trained me to use it, I hope they won't get too mad when I - dogbert Jul 20, 14:55 1
  - That's alright, Ms. Lohan. Just come with me. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 15:24
- Earlier today, I talked to the guy at Time Magazine who wrote the first story about this. -- nm - David Jul 20, 14:45
- When I was in there last week they lost a few sales because there weren't enough clerks in the shoe section. -- nm - the liioulu with less Jul 20, 14:43 1
  - And there weren't enough cashiers. -- nm - the liioulu with less Jul 20, 14:44
- it's like they don't do any research, and/or they don't think customers can figure things out. - b. Jul 20, 14:38
- that'll help move inventory -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 14:37 4
  - What inventory? Pretty much everything I look for is out of stock in my size/color. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 20, 14:57 3
    - Was she that real big fat chick? -- nm - Buffalo Bill working the counter at JCP Jul 20, 15:09 1
      - :-P I only started shopping at JCP when I no longer needed plus sizes. Every time I find something I like they discontinue it :( -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 20, 15:18
    - Anything that isn't nailed down. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 14:59
Sings of a problem: When you are mad that work is taking down an application for the weekend so you can't work Saturday -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 14:33 1
- Singing should make you feel better though. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 14:39
150 minutes to go till weekend freedom -- nm - eag Jul 20, 14:29

- office-wide is a bit much. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 15:16
- No, not tacky at all, just selling tickets.....and I don't think an explanation is necessary. -- nm - CrankYanker Jul 20, 14:32 3
  - however, I do think it's a bit much to ask for the .50 on each ticket.....jeez, at least go down to $100 even. -- nm - CrankYanker Jul 20, 14:36 2
    - this is very true, hadn't thought of that -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 15:08 1
      - He should just eat that charge. After all people can just go to the theater and buy them without. And it isn't that much. -- nm - the liioulu with less Jul 20, 15:31
- Maybe if you were in Denver. But what Max said. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 14:29
- is that kind of thing a regular happening there? does the sender know about the exchange policy? - b. Jul 20, 14:29 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - Last week one of our clients saw one of my coworkers at happy hour and said "we've got a box Coldplay tonight with two extra seats, want to come?" - Max Jul 20, 14:35
    - yah, then I agree with Max. -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:34 2
      - er, with allowance to not tell the entire truth if it is for fear reasons or similar. - b. Jul 20, 14:36
      - yeah, nothing morose, just "hey guys I purchased tickets but my plans have changed so..." -- nm - Max Jul 20, 14:36
- in this instance, I would add the reason you're selling them. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 14:28 1
  - yeah, you don't want to make it look like people are concerned about going to that movie. -- nm - zork Jul 20, 14:29

I just had a song completely cut out on SongPop. It was a blind guess. - spamlet Jul 20, 14:24 1
- Arrgh -- nm - amoxy Jul 20, 15:29
Anyone who feels it's "too soon" to joke about this needs to avoid The Onion. FYI. -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 14:20 1
- Or if they're used to Onion articles containing humor. - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 15:15
Forza 3 is in my possession. You bitches are racing for second place from now on. -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 14:17 12
- When was this posted that this will be the new ST game? - J Jul 20, 15:25 1
  - Earlier this week. It's used so only about $15-$20. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 20, 15:32
- Have fun spending the next hour installing and and getting the free downloads -- nm - Truman Jul 20, 14:23 8
  - It'll give you all just a bit more time to learn how to drive better. You're all gonna need it. - Krusty Jul 20, 14:37
  - I made a mistake, I got the DL's from the web, but then deleted the message so I'm not sure if I got the cars. - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:25 5
    - ??? - spamlet Jul 20, 14:26 4
      - from the 360 i meant -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:31 3
        
        Gift cars from T10 are only sent once, so if you deleted before downloading, you're out of luck. DLC should be in your history and redoable. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 14:50 2
        
        What was weird was they said to go download...but the cars never showed up. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:57 1
        
        "You've received a gift"? or download a pack? If you download a pack that only gives you access to buy the cars for your garage in-game. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 15:05
  - I still have to get the free downloads but did get it installed. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 14:24
- I'm hearing good things about ManteoMax.com. -- nm - David Jul 20, 14:19

- That second-to-last one did occur to me, though still probably more coincidence. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 14:18
"Federal Reserve SF calculated in 2010 goods �Made in China� accounted for 2.7% of US personal-consumption expenditures" - ty97 Jul 20, 14:11 7
- gas, electricity, water, etc.? -- nm - zork Jul 20, 14:22 4
  - cars, food, clothing, cosmetics, personal care items, and and and. there's a lot that adds up that's not from there. -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:26 3
    - ummm, plenty of clothes, cosmetics, etc. (even food) items are from China -- nm - zork Jul 20, 14:28 1
      - but plenty aren't. I own almost nothing from there for those, without having to try very hard. -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:30
    - (and then I read the article. sorry for repeats there.) (but I should have mentioned services, too.) -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:27
- everything else is made of canadian lumber. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 14:18
- Yeah, should've made that a poll. I would have guessed in the double-digits, at least. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 14:13
i've decided to think that transformers 2 didnt happen, it went from 1 to 3. - tRuMaN Jul 20, 14:07

- Insomnia 2: Bore Harder -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 14:22
- it looks like there's been talk the next one will be an original story, with michael caine cast for it. maybe howard hughes, maybe not. -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:21 1

- Nothing listed on HSX or IMDB -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 14:07
Aurora shooting suspect told cops he was "the Joker," had his hair dyed like the Joker -- (link) - con_carne Jul 20, 14:02 4
- he was a medical student too - undergrad in neuroscience. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 14:26
- why is the NYPD commissioner saying that? - JaxSean Jul 20, 14:10
- I just heard that some bullets went into the adjacent theaters... holy crap. -- nm - CrankYanker Jul 20, 14:06 1
  - a lot of theatre walls are so thin that they don't even keep out the soundtrack/noise from ajacent screens -- nm - peglegpete Jul 20, 14:10
yay!..Got my Starbucks Gold Card -- nm - budice Jul 20, 14:00
I don't know if it is the low humidity or the thin air, but 97 in Colorado does not feel like 97 anywhere else. - ty97 Jul 20, 13:57 2
- you're in Colorado? is it weird? -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 14:03 1
  - I'm 50-60 miles from Aurora and mostly surrounded my non-locals who I am working with, so it doesn't feel weird. - ty97 Jul 20, 14:06
The picture I have hanging over my TV. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 20, 13:56 10
- that's asking for access to things. is it this? nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 20, 13:59 [Image] 8
  - It is. That's the picture I just uploaded. Do you think that site is isn't safe? - Krusty Jul 20, 14:04 7
    - I don't know - I just don't like giving a random site access to anything if I don't need to, you know? :) - -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:06 1
      - I just signed up and had it set to private. Oops. I'm not sure I'm going to keep using it though. - Krusty Jul 20, 14:13
    - No, it's just that only other Instragram account holders can see it. -- nm - mara Jul 20, 14:05 4
      - you have to log-in through there and allow access to info./actions. - b. Jul 20, 14:09
      - Damn it! I only used that site since I thought non users could see it. I couldn't find the one that we used last week for the scavanger hunt. -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 14:06 2
        
        I think that was heroku. -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:11 1
        
        Thanks! :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 14:14
- Totally, LYC. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 13:57
WTF is right. CA State Parks Dept. sat on a $54 million surplus during a time when state parks were threatened with closure. Director resigns. -- (link) - con_carne Jul 20, 13:51 2
- wow, I'd heard about the vacation part but not the surplus. they raised fees, laid off some workers, curtailed - b. Jul 20, 14:45
- Yes, it's the Washington Monument argument. Give us more revenue or we'll close [x] popular park. - spamlet Jul 20, 13:54
I don't know if it's topical or too fast, but you know I link to this site all the time. AC charts firearms deaths per capita per state -- (link) - ty97 Jul 20, 13:45 6
- I'd like to see those numbers without suicides. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 13:58 3
  - yeah, AK has an extremely high rate of suicide by gun. -- nm - loosilu2 Jul 20, 14:00
  - So would we all -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:59 1
    - the worst stat today, the aricle this am about rates of police shoots/targets hit *includes* suicides as 1/1 shot/hit in the ratio -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 20, 14:04
- "Firearm deaths are significantly lower in states with stricter gun control legislation." - zork Jul 20, 13:52 1
  - The other data that is needed: Are murders/accidental violent deaths lower in those states as well, or are other method simply used? - ty97 Jul 20, 13:54
Antonio, if this is anything more than just a dance with a friend, you disappoint me. - CrankYanker Jul 20, 13:43
Max, we saw it in IMAX and some of the dialogue, particularly Bane's, was muddy. - David Jul 20, 13:42 4
- I think I'll still risk IMAX and the extra price. I've noticed that with the extra surround, IMAX has been able to go louder without hurting eardrums -- nm - Max Jul 20, 14:39
- Am I crazy or didn't that happen on your IMAX before? I seem to remember that and on ours it was not an issue, but I could be mis-remembering. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 20, 13:57 2
  - I actually almost always regret seeing movies on our IMAX. The Avengers was much the same for me. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 20, 14:40
  - It has been but not to this degree. There are clearly some techincal issues with TDKR. -- nm - David Jul 20, 14:15
now we're even for Tebow - God Jul 20, 13:40 11
- :( -- nm - Diva Jul 20, 13:41
- Wow, what the hell does this even mean? -- nm - amoxy Jul 20, 13:41 5
  - nmbwhatithinkitmeans - Diva Jul 20, 13:51 2
    - This is what I assumed, hence my change-the-subject joke -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:53 1
      - I can't do my wooork!! -- nm - Diva Jul 20, 13:55
  - Yeah, I'm a little confused too. -- nm - mafic Jul 20, 13:48
  - it means for once it wasn't me that stank up the board...hands over the scarlet paddle -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 20, 13:47
- [deleted] 3
  - I know, I feel bad. -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 13:45
  - I still don't know what tebow has to do with fred willard. wha haappen?? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:42 1
    - he got a reeeal red wagon! -- nm - Diva Jul 20, 13:43
Bery, have I suggested this before? A checkbox on the search page for "only posts with 5 or more replies" - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 13:38 15
- That seems like a uniquely specific feature. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 13:58 1
  - [shrug] looking for posts v. looking for threads -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 20, 14:06
- eh ... the number of replies is calculated dynamically, so the subqueries for that would cripple the database -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:39 12
  - Can't you set it up as an outer query? - GregW Jul 20, 13:43 5
    - go back to your DB2 world - zork Jul 20, 13:48 3
      - Gladly. My company just bought another company that has a MySQL database. Fortunately, my work is just converting it. -- nm - GregW Jul 20, 13:53 2
        
        we use MS here -- nm - zork Jul 20, 13:56 1
        
        although most of my work is non-db but crunching fixed column or card format flat ascii files. -- nm - zork Jul 20, 14:01
    - replies are recursive. MySQL is not ... friendly ... to recursion or nested sets. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:45
  - FIX IT! -- nm - Max Jul 20, 13:40 5
    - Max! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 13:40 4
      - Speaking of, did you change something today? Links are opening in the same tab rather than a new one. - spamlet Jul 20, 14:03 3
        
        didnt you just answer your own question? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 20, 14:09
        
        Possibly the IM -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 14:04 1
        
        Okay. Who knows. Probably some magic keypress. Thanks. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 14:13
