If you add enough granola, you can eat yogurt with a fork -- nm - amoxy Sep 4, 08:31 8

    - Fortunately, Ike seems to turn a little more north ever time they update the projected path. - ty97 Sep 4, 08:31 1
      - naw, it will make a nasty left curve and hit new york. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 4, 08:38
    - Hi HdnAgenda and Syrdragon! Hi CQ! Hi TFox, Diva, Mel, and hyde! - Hanna Sep 4, 08:26 1

- YPIAGF!!! -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 08:16
- because she figured you had a dirty peepee -- nm - decline Sep 4, 08:15

  - do you spit it out at night or something? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:16 4
    - sometimes I spit it out and sometimes I find it neatly placed on the bed stand. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 08:17 3
      - Heh, if only you could combine the two :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:17 2
        
        for all I know I spit it onto the bed stand. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 08:19 1
        
        Oh, so maybe you DO combine the two. Nice :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:19

- Went to the bathroom and then fed my cats. -- nm - Krusty Sep 4, 08:13 2
  - Why do you feed your cats in the bathroom? -- nm - ty97 Sep 4, 08:14 1
    - I clean their bowls in the sink and that's where I keep their food and water. -- nm - Krusty Sep 4, 08:16
- hit the snooze button, then grabbed the iPhone and checked TT - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:12 1
  - ^-- actually, that is slightly misleading. I checked my work email first and deleted a few unimportant server alerts from during the night -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:13

      - "I've got Brian on me" -- nm - Harley Sep 4, 08:11
    - matter, meet antimatter. -- nm - steve114 Sep 4, 08:09
  - No, although we could, if we publicize it. Right now, we're sending out questions and answers we get. (We do use IM to receive questions, though.) -- nm - mara Sep 4, 08:08 12
    - my *favorite* library feature here is the "ask a librarian" IM ID. it's so helpful on such a large campus to know precisely - eighteen reasons not to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 08:12 1
      - cool, it's neat to hear that you've used it and like it. spread the word to your classmates. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 08:16

- yep, it's broke -- nm - ty97 Sep 4, 08:05
- It's almost like they *want* us to leave. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 08:05 12
  - I like that we can say fuck here. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 08:05 11
    - I see no reason to change convention here. I like how rather than swearing on ticker talk, we have to use our brains to be insulting. - eighteen reasons to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 08:07 4
      - I just realized that I'm the wrong nick. huh. -- nm - eighteen reasons not to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 08:09 2

      - me too - I can not believe they let that series die. Retarts! oh and - hmmmm Bullock. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 4, 08:09
    - well let's be sparing with that.... - Pete Sep 4, 08:06 3
      - oh, but Ziva's butt on your desktop is fine. ;P -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 08:07 1
        
        There are many things in that picture that are fine. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 08:17

so will the Iraqi government's ban on the groups such as the Sons of Iraq, reduce the security in Iraq that the - tRuMaN Sep 4, 07:58 2
- note: my real question is about the security in iraq, I shouldn't have thrown in the comment about us politics. sorry. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 4, 07:58 1
  - I think it's a perfectly legitimate political question when the GOP is hailing the situation as "victory within our grasp" - znufrii Sep 4, 08:06
omg. google mail does not work on my new phone. *massive coronary* -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 07:56 12
- Speaking of phone issues: Does anyone know how to forward text messages on an iPhone? - Dano Sep 4, 08:01 6
  - No idea. Then again, I can't imagine wanting to ... the text message interface is fun for IM-style chat, but the email interface would be much better - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:10
  - You can probably do it via one of the downloadable apps. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 08:03
  - ask Remlik, he loves his. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 08:02 3
    - Remlik, Do you know how to forward text messages on an iPhone? -- nm - Dano Sep 4, 08:04 2
      - (spoiler: actually he hates it) -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 08:04 1
        
        Tap Tap Revenge is fun. -- nm - Dano Sep 4, 08:06
- Ha ha! -- nm - Nelson Muntz Sep 4, 08:00
- what type of phone? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 4, 07:59 3
  - samsung ACE. looks like it's a known issue. I'm googling workarounds. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 07:59 2
    - I'll e-mail you the fix this weekend -- nm - ty97 Sep 4, 08:00 1
      - damn you!!!! -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 08:00
I really hate MySQL. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 07:52 9
- I've never administered one on my own - except a basic local DB - but I never had any problem with it. - JaxSean Sep 4, 08:03 6
  - I am having issues with all the action queries - Will Hunting Sep 4, 08:16 1
    - Keep working through it. You'll never go back to Access again once you get this all squared away. - JaxSean Sep 4, 08:27
  - I think Will's attempting to migrate an Access database to MySQL - you can just imagine the headaches involved in that ... -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:05 3
    - imagining the headaches involved gives me a headache. - JaxSean Sep 4, 08:06 2
      - Word. We use postgresql at work - it has some fancypants features. - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:07 1
        
        I've dealt with Oracle, SQL Server 2000/2003 (I think?), and MySQL. - JaxSean Sep 4, 08:11
- What do you hate about it? The fact that everything is done in raw SQL, with no interface, and no properly-defined relationships? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:03
- the feeling's mutual bub. -- nm - MySQL Sep 4, 07:53
Word. -- nm - Jim Sep 4, 07:48 3
- That's what *she* said. -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 07:50 2
  - I thought "she" said "stop touching me"? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 4, 07:53 1
    - I think it was "YOU ARROGANT PRICK!" -- nm - mara Sep 4, 08:04
