Like gmail? Like SkyDrive? Put those hands together -- (link) - oblique Sep 10, 13:22 8
- Why would you use Skydrive and not Google Docs if you are a Gmail user? -- nm - spamlet Sep 10, 13:23 7
  - Honestly, the Office web apps are better than Google Docs apps and the photo sharing, to me, is easier out of Skydrive with it's ties to Windows Live - oblique Sep 10, 13:25
  - Google Drive, you mean. Docs is dead, long live Drive. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:24 5
    - *kicks you in the jimmy* -- nm - spamlet Sep 10, 13:30 1
      - harder! -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 13:31
    - I'm still confused about what I'm supposed to do with my Amazon Cloud Player/Drive files. I should probably figure that out before Friday -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 13:29
    - i am still accessing my stuff through docs.google.com. How different is drive? -- nm - Andie Sep 10, 13:28 1

- My favorite thing this year (I'm stretching as a cubs fan) is that Alphonso Soriano has a legitimate argument for a gold glove this year. - pmb Sep 10, 13:21 10
  - not a chance in hell he is even in the conversation. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 13:22 9
    - I know. But he legitimately should be. - pmb Sep 10, 13:26 3
      - I dunno, he does not get to a lot of balls to begin with. - groiny Sep 10, 13:27 2
        
        He only gets judged against other left fielders (not all outfielders). And if you've wathed him this year he has actually played better than average - pmb Sep 10, 13:28 1
        
        I will take your word on that, I have only watched maybe 5 Cubs games. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 13:29

        I say this all the time - if your team or company suffers catastrophe at the loss of one person, it's not much of a "team" - Max Sep 10, 13:33

    - He's a clear 2nd place. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 13:38
    - not at all, his defense hurts him vs Trout though. -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 13:22 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        There's no lately. Trout's been the best player in the AL since the day he began this season. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 13:39
        
        normally, no, but the plays Trout makes out in the OF have been huge. - groiny Sep 10, 13:26
  - I don't think Trout is RoY eligible. -- nm - spamlet Sep 10, 13:19 2
    - hmmm, Darvish then? -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 13:20 1
      - Actually, he is. Apparently it's 130 ABs now. (didn't it used to be 60?) -- nm - spamlet Sep 10, 13:22
what is a castle? vs say a big f*cking house I mean a 'manor house' is just a mansion with slave quarters -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 10, 13:12 6

- castles should also have wells incase of siege -- nm - peglegpete Sep 10, 13:21
- "turrets" are still fairly common in residential houses. Add a fair amount of that stone facade siding, a hidden room or 2, I think that qualifies. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 13:18 [Image]
- defensible/built of stone? fine you can buy a missle silo in kansas/dakota -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 10, 13:15

- Estate = acerage; castle w/moat - Old Antarctic Explorer Sep 10, 13:26

  - Loser. My castle is big enough to land my hellicarrier. -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 13:10 1
    - I'm sure you have to make those special noises to when you fly your helicarrier around. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 10, 13:31
- Castle, of course. I can't pour boiling oil on salesman from an island. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 13:06

ST Poll -- Do you know the difference between a nutritionist and a Registered Dietician® -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 13:02 16

Viggo Mortensen as Dr. Strange in the new THor movie? Maybe.... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 10, 12:53 5

- not according to this -- (link) - decline Sep 10, 12:35 7
  - So, 3rd as a state...I'd assume the big city would be higher merely from CoL...so tis possible? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 12:36 4
    - Potentially, though NY *State* averages 72K a year, so by the same rule, you would expect NYC to usurp Chicago -- (link) - ty97 Sep 10, 12:41 3
      - Maybe, oddly, I think NY is more than NYC (Buffalo et al) whereas I'd have hard--pressed to think of much beyong Chicago in Ill. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 12:48 2

      - [deleted] 3
        
        Perhaps if the ranking is limited to city public school systems, but I'd be shocked if some smaller, wealthier school systems didn't have higher avgs. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 12:53 2

        For instance, this is 2 years old, but at least one MD county has a higher $ than that. -- (link) - Don Homer Sep 10, 12:54
      - source -- (link) - ty97 Sep 10, 12:38 3
        
        And, in this same link, pay isn't really the sticking point. -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 12:39 2
        
        It's the benefits, not so much the pay, but it's all really compensation. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 12:44 1
        
        The evaluation system and preferential hiring of laid off teachers seem to be key items. - ty97 Sep 10, 12:59
