- bananas, except for banana bread, and yogurt. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 16:42 3

holy shitballs, the trailer for The Impossible is.....something...sniff -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 16:06
So the Norwegian mass killer got 21 years? Really, Norway? REALLY? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 15:57 7
- plus safety confinement - Danedukenuuk Aug 24, 16:21
- it's the maximum allowed in Norway, but it can be reviewed and extended indefinitely. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 16:01
- That's the max. And then they can keep him in if he's judged to be still horrifying. - Kim Pine Aug 24, 16:01
- He'll probably be shanked in prison on day 2. - Beryllium Aug 24, 15:58 3
  - hey, he only killed 77 people. -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 16:00 2
    - Fine! We'll reduce it to 77 non-fatal shankings. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 16:01 1
      - he's going to a specially built facility just for him with 17 workers -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 24, 17:26

- Rick Mirer? -- nm - mud Aug 24, 16:07

- There goes jax's new phone. -- nm - jnine Aug 24, 16:34
- One BEEEEELLION dollars in damages. Can't believe Apple gets away with this flagrant abuse of the patent system. - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 16:33 5
  - I didn't follow the whole thing much, but I did see a document from Samsung that was pretty bad for them - Guigue Aug 24, 16:36
  - Exactly. They revolutionized the game. The patent system is highly flawed, but this was a clear violation. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 24, 16:35 2
    - There's plenty of prior art to invalidate much of what Apple's claiming was infringed. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 16:38 1
      - Likely this only applies to the general concepts, and not the exact wording of the patents. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 16:49
  - It makes me consider William Gibson's take on the future as preferable. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 16:34
- Good news for Apple (and their stockholders) -- nm - ceregon Aug 24, 16:26 1
  - It was the right decision clearly, probably be appealed for several years though. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 24, 16:31
- Breaking: all of Apple's patents have been overturned. -- nm - CNN Aug 24, 16:01
- This is the important tweet: We won't know until question 11 whether jury found Apple's patents valid. Till then, infringement doesn't count - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 15:52
- guilty guilty guilty! except for these random things -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 15:51
- samsung already won the korea throw down -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 15:51
Win tickets to the hottest concert of 1989! -- (link) - Reagen Aug 24, 15:41 8
- I have a friend here who's the most blokey australian I know, except he *loves* roxette. when she toured australia he went to three shows. - mafic Aug 24, 15:46 6
  - "she"? Did you just refer to Roxette as a "she"? - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 15:48 5
    - they, whatever. it's mostly about her. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 15:55 4
      - Right. Fleetwood Mac is just Stevie Nicks and some guys. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 15:56 3

        And performing tonight is Mr Mac. Mr Fleetwood Mac. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 16:33
        
        I know, deep down, that there's two of them, but when I think roxette, I think of the girl. - mafic Aug 24, 16:11
- ~don't forget me when I'm gone...my heart would break~ -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 15:43
Loosi alert: my cousin just had her picture taken with one of the hanson brothers -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 15:37 5
- cool! they're doing shows in Canada for the next few weeks. I think they're in NB now? - loosilu Aug 24, 16:37 4
  - I'd bet Nove scotia (the girls have been in Europe for awhile) - Beaker Aug 24, 16:42 3
    - Could be. you don't know which brother? -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 16:47 2
      - heh, I thought you meant My brother :) Looks to be the lead singer one -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 16:48 1
        
        the hot one. He does the most fan photos so I figured it was him. - loosilu Aug 24, 16:50
so here's an odd one. my company's stock trades at 4.8 cents, over the last few days somebody has been selling very small amounts of stock, usually 12 - mafic Aug 24, 15:11 7
- *buys one kajigger of stock* -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 15:41 4
  - we have people like this. one of the most outspoken people at our last agm was a little old lady who owned 400 shares. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 15:43
  - Scruffy believes in this company! -- nm - Other David Aug 24, 15:41 2
    - "But that promotional video..." ",,,was a massive loss for the company!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 15:43 1
      - "yes, I do, Leels. It grows the brand." -- nm - Other David Aug 24, 15:48
- ummm, hey, are you guys on to anything big? Like some good finds that say someone might want to know about????? -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 15:31 1
  - we have a lot of shares out, so our prospects of massive growth are limited. if you'd bought just after I started a couple years ago you could've - mafic Aug 24, 15:41
I think the reason the ADA was pushing on Armstrong so hard is that the time limit on investigating him is almost up. - the liioulu with numb nostril Aug 24, 15:04
Ah...roto has more Red Sox Rumors. - Mel Profit Aug 24, 14:57 34
- Loney, Delarosa, Sands, DeJesus, and a top prospect going back to Boston. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 24, 16:36 2
  - Steve Berthiaume concurs -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 16:43
  - NL and AL only Leagues just imploded -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 16:39
- heh, The Sports Guy's last tweet "I'm not jinxing this" -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 16:03
- More... - Mel Profit Aug 24, 15:28 5
  - Looks like Webster is the one going to Boston. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 24, 16:46
  - Zach Lee was their #1 pick 2 years ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 16:39
  - Who are these Dodgers players? -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 15:33 1
    - here -- (link) - Beaker Aug 24, 15:35
  - whoa. -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 15:32
- If the Sawx just throw in cash with those players, it's addition by subtraction. - spamlet Aug 24, 15:01 8
  - The Sox don't have to throw in cash on waiver claims. They can just give them (and their contracts) up. - musubi Aug 24, 15:03 6
    - the Sox can still pull them back. They're really not going to go for nothing. -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 15:05 5
      - Think of this as horrible contract whiteout. -- nm - Other David Aug 24, 15:28
      - Getting rid of those contracts is not nothing. (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 15:06 3
        
        Magic Johnson got moneys to burn. -- nm - Beaker Aug 24, 15:43 2
        
        Apparently, if they're paying the majority of the salaries *and* send prospects. (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 15:49 1
        
        no shit. although from reading some dudes on twitter the Bosox are expected to send significant $ back - Beaker Aug 24, 15:50
  - It's a ballsy move. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 24, 15:02
- I don't think it happens, too many moving parts.....but if it does, holy crap. - musubi Aug 24, 15:00 6
  - Who in the hell would the Dodgers give up for that mess? -- nm - amoxy Aug 24, 15:02 5
    - Loney and an OF? (not Ethier or Kemp) - spamlet Aug 24, 15:04 3
      - Only prospects or similar bloated contracts are likely to be part of a trade. Any tradeable ML player would have to clear waivers. - musubi Aug 24, 15:07 2
        
        Unless they already have. -- nm - spamlet Aug 24, 15:15 1
        
        Most guys who've cleared waivers suck or are overpaid. Why would Bostron trade for one of those two types of players? (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 15:50
    - Nothing, they pay those salaries. If they also give up players, they are doing it wrong. (nm) - musubi Aug 24, 15:04

        sfek. I'm *trying* to better myself here! -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 15:47
        
        slug? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 15:39 1
        
        MonsterSlug versus HornySnail -- nm - SyFy Aug 24, 15:42
Not that I doubted him, but mafic's right about the Top Models. They actually originally posed in bikinis. The micro-minis were photoshopped. -- (link) - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 14:41 3
- And they added glasses on at least 1 girl - Guigue Aug 24, 15:09 1
  - Ha! One of the girls goes to Harvard Divinity School! -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 24, 15:20

  - *and* in the future. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 14:46
  - all their skirts must be up around their waists! -- nm - zork Aug 24, 14:35 1
    - It's probably hard to tell. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 14:36
