Occupy Wall Street plans to buy distressed consumer debt for pennies on the dollar � and then forgive it. -- (link) - ty97 Nov 9, 08:39 1
- That's awesome (as long as someone is overseeing that they aren't, say, funneling those funds to forgive debts of friends, etc.) -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 08:43

If you've already seen Skyfall, here's an extreme spoiler question - prayformoJaws Nov 9, 08:33 9
- *spoils* - Ender Nov 9, 08:35 8
  - *spoils* - kelly Nov 9, 08:44 7
    - Don't go to Rotten Tomatoes then, there's spoilers there too. -- nm - LMS Nov 9, 08:46 6
      - And Box Office Prophets gives away major ending spoilers too. - LMS Nov 9, 08:50 5
        
        can you specify? (spoils) - prayformoJaws Nov 9, 08:51 4
        
        *spoils* - Ender Nov 9, 08:54 3
        
        spoils - prayformoJaws Nov 9, 08:56 2
        
        Spoils - LMS Nov 9, 08:58 1
        
        fair enough -- nm - prayformoJaws Nov 9, 08:58
Daniel Day Lewis talking to a chair -- (link) - LMS Nov 9, 08:33
Boehner talking now. Drawing hard line on not raising rates on high earners. "Will destroy 700K jobs" -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 08:31 21
- Not so, says the Congressional Budget Office. -- (link) - pmb Nov 9, 08:44
- Say hello to going over the cliff, then. - Rise Above Nov 9, 08:34 14
  - Again, I think this is startin positions. We have to wait to see what actually happens. - ty97 Nov 9, 08:41 5
    - Yes. Lots could happen. Could be some alternative to the rate increase that impacts the upper income brackets. - pmb Nov 9, 08:46 4
      - I do think there needs to be a partial increase in top rates though or Obama looks weak. -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 08:47 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        If there is revenue increase from the top brackets I really don't think it matters what the source is. It would allow both sides to save face. - pmb Nov 9, 08:52
        
        there needs to be more than just a partial increase. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 08:49

        Oh, I forgot. And the media/pundits: the democrats need to be more bipartisan! -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 08:51 1
        
        That evil right-wing Conservative media! -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 09:14

Heh. "Horrible possibility. If the geeks are right about Ohio, might they also be right about climate change?" @davidfrum (former Bush speechwriter) -- nm - mara Nov 9, 08:20 1
- Frum has been writing about the issues that his party is finally starting to talk about for a while. I still think this was a great article he wrote - pmb Nov 9, 08:24
Huh. "Safety Not Guaranteed" rocking the rental charts. -- (link) - Mop (196 lbs) Nov 9, 08:20
When did Diana Krall start going for the sex kitten look? She looks great on her new album cover. -- (link) - pmb Nov 9, 08:19
Halo 4 multiplayer tonight? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Nov 9, 08:18 42
- *sigh* -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 9, 08:34 2
  - slacker. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:35 1
    - I didn't play last night for a much better reason that this weekend -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 9, 08:37
- *finishes in last place* -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 08:24 10
  - honestly, i think that you should focus on two strategies - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:32 5
    - I can second that "b" suggestion probably for everyone. It was far more effective to run in pairs when you don't know the map the few times I played -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 9, 08:45
    - I was doing a bit of both last night, but since I haven't played in forever, I got antsy and just wanted to go shoot something. - JaxSean Nov 9, 08:44
    - Randomized weapon locations seems like it will be awesome. -- nm - Rise Above Nov 9, 08:33 2
      - yes i think so, and the fact hat you get an acknoledgement on your screen of their locations. - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:35
      - weapon drops are a very nice inclusion. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:34
  - hang in there man, kilbo was able to get better. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:31 3
    - I reprogrammed my keypad yesterday so I can switch grenades and do ordinance drops without grabbing the controller. Also added a button for a mode - Master Kilbo Nov 9, 08:43 2
      - you are so weird. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:45 1
        
        best money I've spent for gaming in terms of functionality - Master Kilbo Nov 9, 08:47
- yes for me. Have you tried it yet? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:18 26
  - Just took the wrapper off last night. I'll pop it in the drive first time tonight. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Nov 9, 08:19 25
    - you will have to install the 2nd disc to the hard drive before playing multiplayer. -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:19 24
      - No choice out does it just run better? -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 08:33 18
        
        2 is a must. 1 is an option. -- nm - Rise Above Nov 9, 08:34
        
        you do not HAVE to install disc one, but for multuplayer, you have to. There is no choice. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:34 15
        
        How much space is required? -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 08:36 14
        
        I'm pretty sure after installing both discs I was down about 10GB -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 9, 08:36
        
        i think its 2gb or so, maybe 3. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:36 11
        
        Thanks. That's just about all the space I have free. -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 08:38
        
        i was wrong. the official page says you need 3.5 gb or more to insall -- (link) - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:37 9
        
        Damn. I'd have to get a bigger hard drive. -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 08:39 8
        
        or delete a bunch of old shit? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:41 7
        
        That's what I do now to keep it with a few gigs free. I'll just look up how to attach an external that'll work with the 360. -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 08:44 6
        
        Hehe. -- nm - Shauntum of Solace Nov 9, 08:47 3
        
        Did you attach an external? -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 08:52 2
        
        No. I think due to how asshole-y M$ can be, you need some wizardry and witchcraft to do that. -- nm - Shauntum of Solace Nov 9, 08:54 1
        
        nope -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 9, 09:03
        
        this amazes me, as I have never had to do this for mine. - groiny Nov 9, 08:47 1
        
        I download demos and delete them. Almost all the space taken is saved games. No movies or stuff like that. - Krusty Nov 9, 08:51
        
        I do not recall. mn -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:36
        
        *or not out* -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 08:34
      - Thanks for the heads up. I'll do that in advance. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Nov 9, 08:20 4
        
        and you might as well install disc 1 before you do that. - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:20 3
        
        My name is Spawn, and I approve of all of these messages. -- nm - Rise Above Nov 9, 08:22 2
        
        and you have been conspicously absent for 3 nights of matchmaking. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:24 1
        
        Night one I did not play. Night 2 I did campaign. Night 3 I had a meeting, watched the Colts and then campaigned briefly. -- nm - Rise Above Nov 9, 08:28
- probably. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:18
Having ILM in-house will now save Disney $20mil/year. Worth it! -- (link) - Mop (196 lbs) Nov 9, 08:17
Has anyone played Sid Meier's Railroads? -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 08:16 8
- yes. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 08:18 7
  - and...? how is it? -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 08:19 6
    - 20 years ago, when it was Railroad Tycoon. Good though. -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 08:24 3
      - Yeah, this is basically RT4. It's been out for a couple years I think, but just hit OS X. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 08:52 2
        
        You have to have a discrete video card, so Macbooks won't work. - spamlet Nov 9, 08:53 1
        
        ah okay -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 08:56
    - fun enough, it's been a while, though. - znufrii Nov 9, 08:20 1
      - Railroad Tycoon is one of my all time favorites. I may have to pick this up. -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 08:44
Fun short film - Zombie Musical. -- (link) - LMS Nov 9, 08:14
spamlet, mdh, anyone else with lots of taxation knowledge, a question - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:14 4
- BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! - spamlet Nov 9, 08:22 3
  - well a bit more info on how all this works, if that helps - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:26 2
    - Your hulu example is correct for them but breaks down for this. - spamlet Nov 9, 08:29 1
      - To be 100% definitive, you'd have to look at each state that they plan to extend to. Even then, it's changing so much you'd be wrong next year. -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 08:34
ML, yes he is -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 08:13 11
- George P. has been out on the campaign circuit for years. I think it's long been assumed he would run for something. -- nm - loosilu Nov 9, 08:15 7
  - I think it's kinda telling though that it's Nov 9th, 3 days after a GOP beating and he's already signed up to explore the possiblity. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 08:18 2
    - I get the feeling lots of moderate Republicans were just waiting for this election to be over. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 08:21 1
      - Heh. "lots of moderate republicans" -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 08:24
  - I've certainly heard his name mentioned for years. -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 08:16 3
    - his looks are a big part of it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 9, 08:18 2
      - I think he needs to practice his Spanish though. He speaks Spanish like my sister speaks French. he stumbles. - loosilu Nov 9, 08:23 [youtube] 1
        
        and it seems Jeb Bush is competent in Spanish as well. -- (link) - loosilu Nov 9, 08:30 [youtube]
- [deleted] 2
  - Isn't that an argument for Rubo? - ty97 Nov 9, 08:16 1
    - [deleted]
George P. Bush does speak spanish, as does Jeb. -- nm - loosilu Nov 9, 08:13 1
- And Dubya sorta speaks it. - Rise Above Nov 9, 08:30
so halo 4 campaign, my thoughts (yes, i completed it) - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:12 14
- Too much button pushing, so far. And on normal it has been way too easy. - Rise Above Nov 9, 08:32
- Is it COD-short or just Halo-short? -- nm - Shauntum of Solace Nov 9, 08:20 8
  - i think its the shortest halo yet, at least it felt that way to me - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:21 7
    - Not done yet and it already seems longer than the anniversary edition (which was mega short). -- nm - Rise Above Nov 9, 08:29
    - I guess that's sort of expected these days in a game that's more or less played for it's online modes. -- nm - Shauntum of Solace Nov 9, 08:22 5
      - maybe, but games like uncharted seem to have found a way to provide a satisfying campaign, and online mix. - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:26 3
        
        But Uncharted *needs* a great campaign, because it's the major mode of the game, unlike the Halos and CODs. -- nm - Shauntum of Solace Nov 9, 08:32 2
        
        yes, except its multiplayer from 2 was hugely successfull. so was three, but its ps3, so its not a direct comparison - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:36 1
        
        I personally do not like Uncharted's multiplayer at all, but I can't honestly say that I've spent a great deal of time with it. -- nm - Shauntum of Solace Nov 9, 08:40
      - its... -- nm - Shauntum of Solace Nov 9, 08:22
- my Master Chief is defective. -- nm - Tim Nov 9, 08:16 1
  - the new AI did cause me more problems later on, most cause of the - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:18
- hmmm, I only played through the first mission, and had a sniper I found in it. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 08:15
- bad first, this is obviously bery's fault. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 9, 08:12
