    - Course --- all 3 of those guys led teams that were the best team in the league.....Miggy led a team to the 7th best record in the AL. - Will Hunting Oct 4, 07:47

- No,Hell No -- nm - amoxy Oct 4, 07:38
- I barely want to run my household. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 07:30
- [deleted]
- I don;t think I'd have the patience. To get anything done as President, you have to spend half your time talking with professional liars. -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 07:27
- Yes. Without hesitation. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 07:22 4

  - First Lady it is then... - Mel Profit Oct 4, 07:19 5
    - You have to lay the groundwork while you're President. Pick wherever you want to live, and then suck up to that country big-time. -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 07:21 3
      - I think some south pacific island nation needs a new massive aid package. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 07:23 2

Take a look at Facebook's first ad campaign (seems they're hitting the 1B mark) -- (link) - oblique Oct 4, 06:38 [youtube] 2
- I can't watch this because I'm at work, but do we really think that like, spawn, will see this and be like, yo, gotta get me some facebook? -- nm - amanda Oct 4, 06:39 1
  - no (mostly because it is kinda a lame ad :) -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 06:40
Starbuck's iOS app now supports Passbook -- (link) - oblique Oct 4, 06:36
I only watched maybe 20 minutes of the debate but in the little bit I saw, I was surprised that Obama talked more about what he would do than what he - oblique Oct 4, 06:31
Last night's debate reminded me most of the Cheney vs. Edwards debate in 2004. - Inigo Oct 4, 06:27
Not content with trying to pin Jack Layton's death on the new NDP leader, Conservative MP Rob Anders now goes after the transgendered. He's a peach. -- (link) - Beaker Oct 4, 06:27

  - a friend of groiny's has figured out how to open the chest repeatedly with 1 key. - tRuMaN Oct 4, 06:57 4
    - there is the occasional diamond in the rough, but for the most part, yeah. - groiny Oct 4, 07:15
    - It's a well-known glitch. I have 2 legit keys, but haven't used either one yet. -- nm - Shaun Oct 4, 07:08

      - its actually quite boring - tRuMaN Oct 4, 07:00
  - It's the good thing and the bad thing about the loot generation in BL. Rarity doesn't necessarily equal better. -- nm - Shaun Oct 4, 06:26 2
    - Sounds like the Diablo 3 model. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 4, 06:28 1
      - Well it's the same system from the first BL. -- nm - Shaun Oct 4, 06:35
[deleted] 2
- my understanding is that this was a fairly common way of getting around the rules. - znufrii Oct 4, 06:42
- Do you think the other development from Monday goes anywhere? - Strongbad Oct 4, 06:23
If you're going to look like a fool taking pictures with your iPad, at least now you can do it with a serious app -- (link) - oblique Oct 4, 06:20 [SmugMug]
More Survivor (spoils) - Jim Oct 4, 06:18 1
- Skupin's injuries are just legendary now (spoilers) - oblique Oct 4, 06:19
[deleted] 1
- injuries played a major role with my team this year. - groiny Oct 4, 07:19
At least Obama and Romney were plesant to each other after the debate -- (link) - oblique Oct 4, 06:17 [Image]
LYC: My Google Chome version is 22. That's kinda insane -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 06:13 5
- That's only because they marginalized the meaning of the version number anyway -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 06:14
- it's silly. I thought the standard was for "versions" to be "major updates" not practically every time you release an update. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 06:14 3
  - Google's goal with chrome is to establish it as a "service" instead of a "product". - Beryllium Oct 4, 06:37 2
    - how many companies use Chrome? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 06:45 1
      - Not sure. But the point is, using it means you tend to have to accept it as a self-updating service, rather than a fire-and-forget application. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 06:48
All nine previous Triple Crown winners are members of the Baseball Hall of Fame... -- (link) - Don Homer Oct 4, 06:12
As someone who has worked on the business end of healthcare for the last 17+ years...I was legitimately offended by several of Romney's comments - Jim Oct 4, 06:10 32
- the vague mention of Death Panels was annoying as well... - Mel Profit Oct 4, 07:06 2
  - This is what I don't get. A government board is bad because it is unelected. But a corporate board is okay because... it's unelected? - TWuG Oct 4, 07:10 1
    - agreed and it's baffling. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 07:15
- I completely agree with you but I am also disappointed in Obama. He should have hammered Romney on this - amoxy Oct 4, 06:27 3
  - My disappointment isn't with any Obama said, it's what he didn't say. He mostly ignored Romney - TWuG Oct 4, 06:49 2
    - Might have been a strategic descision - to get headlines of "Obama comes back roaring and crushes Romney in 2nd debate" - Beryllium Oct 4, 06:54 1
      - There's no way they'd lose a debate on purpose in a close race. -- nm - Inigo Oct 4, 06:57
- And this is where we are broken. Romney lied, lied, and lied last night and is lauded as the winner. - ty97 Oct 4, 06:14 15
  - I don't accept it. Romney was able to control the tone of the debate and it worked beuatifully for him but he's such a craven liar - Diva, LCM Oct 4, 06:53 3
    - "He's just looked tired and worn out." It was his anniversary. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 4, 07:06 1
      - this is not news. -- nm - Diva, LCM Oct 4, 07:17
    - yeah, when i turned in i honestly wondered - tRuMaN Oct 4, 07:04
  - I was disappointed with Lehrer. He's lost a step or 2. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 4, 06:26 4
    - I know. He used to run the 40 in an even 4.4, now he's lucky to beat 5.5. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 06:27 3
      - Of the remaining 3 moderators, I only recognize 1 of the names - Strongbad Oct 4, 06:31 2
        
        Candy Crowley has a been a political reporter on the campaign trail for CNN for years. - ty97 Oct 4, 06:33 1
        
        I'll probably recognize her face, but the name doesn't ring a bell. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 4, 06:33
  - that sucks. i have to say the short while we watched, Romney seemed to be in control. - Andie Oct 4, 06:22
  - Much as I would have liked him to be called out on his lies during the debate, the format did not easily lend itself to doing that. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 4, 06:19
  - [deleted] 1
    - All I know is that Obama is going to kill in the swimsuit portion. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 06:48
  - it's an indictment of the "fact checkers" too. they're terrible. - Don Homer Oct 4, 06:18
  - Exactly. And so many people ate that shit up and will be quoting it as truth today. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 06:17
- As an Illinoisan, I was offended everytime he suggested pushing anything to the state level - oblique Oct 4, 06:12 7
  - *laughing* -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 4, 06:15
  - heh heh...I laugh, but it's true. Especially in Illinois. I feel for you guys. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 06:14 5
    - To be fair, those in Missouri shouldn't talk. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 06:20 4
      - Dude...Missouri is nothing compared to the chucklenuttery going on in Illinois. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 06:25 3
        
        You guys might elect Todd Akin. -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 06:33 2
        
        but thats not for state office, so we get a pass. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 4, 06:59
        
        I mean, at least we vote for corrupt people who have the good senses to lie to us! -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 06:34
- Um...I meant: "Word." -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 06:11
