Do any of you ever participate in any of those dinner fundraisers to raise funds for [local tragedy]? I can't figure out the logic here. - kelly Feb 5, 11:42 8
- feels good....one of my usual bar/clubs seems to have a fund raiser every sunday with auction and cover charge - zeitgeist Feb 5, 11:50
- Because going out to eat, the person spending the money gets something too - prayformojo Feb 5, 11:47 2
  - I guess I'm just surprised that it's only 25%. - kelly Feb 5, 11:50 1
    - Our schools do these all the time to raise money. They work pretty well as far as money to effort ratio - oblique [220] Feb 5, 11:52
- I got an invite to this too. -- nm - MDH Feb 5, 11:45 1
  - Different CFA, or the one in Frederick? -- nm - kelly Feb 5, 11:45
- one would assume that it would appeal to people who are likely to eat at CFA anyway. - znufrii Feb 5, 11:44
- because they have to eat anyway? I mean, it costs nothing more than CFA usually would, where the 100% donations have OOP expense? -- nm - amanda Feb 5, 11:43

    - No wonder she was pissed at Welker for being only 5'8 instead of 5'9. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:42 1
      - When the story came out about her asking everyone to pray, that was honestly my first thought. - Spawn Feb 5, 11:43
So how much, typically, would one expect to pay for a UV code via a proper retail store? -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:39 4
- what do you mean by proper store? family video or someplace sells them for $7 or so dollars, depending on the movie - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:44
- I still have one UV code for Hotel Transylvania at the ST bargain price of $1.50. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 11:40 2
  - That movie was ok. Wreck-It Ralph was far superior, imo. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:42 1
    - Wreck-It-Ralph would be $4. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 11:44

- How will he explain this to his kids?! -- nm - Ender Feb 5, 11:37
- Man, you would have thought he would have thought about it a little longer than that. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 11:36 1
  - I don't think he's officially said "I'm retiring" but I think that's what happening. - Kim Pine Feb 5, 11:39

hmm, do i need a bluray burner, or just a dvd burner that reads bluray. decisions, decisions. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:22 13
- DVD optical drives don't read Blu-rays. You would need a Blu-ray drive. Whether or not you want to burn Blu-rays is up to you. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:27 4
  - well, there are dvd burner drives that read blurays (i am looking at one now on newegg). -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:30 3
    - those would have a read/write dvd head and a read-only BR head since they are different technologies. -- nm - zork Feb 5, 11:39
    - Sounds more like a Blu-ray drive that can burn dvds. - Shaun Feb 5, 11:36 1
      - Potato, potato. -- nm - Ender Feb 5, 11:38
- I don't think I've ever in my life burned a bluray disc - oblique [220] Feb 5, 11:24 7
  - I have but I stopped the moment UV became a real thing. -- nm - David Feb 5, 11:25
  - i dont need to burn. i just want it to convert blurays to the UV locker. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:25 5
    - Then why would you go beyond the Blu-Ray reader? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:25 4
      - its $10 more for the burner option. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:27 3
        
        So, why waste $10? -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 11:27 2
        
        my only thought was that i could backup more on blurays. but i dont think its worth the price. - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:28 1
        
        Blank Blu-rays are still expensive imo. Eff that! -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:29
so here's the issue: sasha's work *refuses* to recognize my mary@wmdo email as not spam. every single email I send to sash goes to junk. - amanda Feb 5, 11:19 17
- complains the girl who's used dozens of different email addresses to make it impossible to be found on a regular basis. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 11:35 2
  - they're all checked on my phone! I check them all (mostly) now! -- nm - amanda Feb 5, 11:36 1
    - all I'm saying is, you know, karma. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 11:37
- her email server is possibly blacklisted for being an open proxy (happens when you click on *that* link) anti virus clean up only remove the virus... - zeitgeist Feb 5, 11:27
- send to your gmail and set up a rule to autoforward to her and another to autoforward her replies to wmdo -- nm - zork Feb 5, 11:22 3
  - you could create a separate email account for this purpose -- nm - zork Feb 5, 11:25 2
    - I wonder if it would look and see the origin as wmdo and just send that to spam as well. -- nm - amanda Feb 5, 11:31 1
      - send one to your current gmail and forward to her, then see if she gets it. -- nm - zork Feb 5, 11:43
- The "not junk" button when you open a message in Outlook usually works pretty well. Stop putting 'FREE NIGERIAN BONER PILLS' in your subject lines. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 5, 11:21 3
  - not when the company pre-screens stuff and junkifies them without your control. -- nm - zork Feb 5, 11:23
  - YOU'LL GET MY BONER PILLS SUBJECTS WHEN YOU PRY THEM FROM MY COLD, DEAD BONER PILLS!! -- nm - mandy si Feb 5, 11:22 1
    - L3 -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 5, 11:29

  - if she's allowed access to the quarantine account -- nm - zork Feb 5, 11:26
  - is this something end users can usually do? thanks. -- nm - amanda Feb 5, 11:25 2
    - Sometimes. With ours we get weekly quarantine notices which we can act on to release messages, etc. - oblique [220] Feb 5, 11:29 1
      - I just emailed her what you said. I'm sure that's it. we'll see if she ever sees it and what she says. thanks. -- nm - amanda Feb 5, 11:32
Ooops. Boston Market tells co-worker how much he hates customers. Gets fired. -- (link) - znufrii Feb 5, 11:18 2

my Android is the first personal organizer I've ever kept going - Reagen Feb 5, 11:18 12

  - heh. You should see the note Amy wrote by the litter box to remind me to put more sand in after I scoop. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 11:39
- what app are you using? -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 11:19 9
  - just the Google calendar. it helps tremendously that it's cross-device. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:20 8

    - Yeah, I'm all in with Google calendar as well. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 11:28
    - This is what I use because it's so easy to drag items around. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 11:25 3
      - and for Will, here's how I use the calendars for my genealogy work, for instance - Max Feb 5, 11:33 2
        
        takeaway: Max actually calendars his genealogy "work" -- nm - charlie Feb 5, 11:38 1
        
        I have calendars for: legal ID, fake ID, To Do items, Daily items, Genealogy, Reading, Annual local events, TV, Movies, Birthdays, Headlines, and Work -- nm - Max Feb 5, 11:42
    - ah. i've considered trying that too. i should maybe go full throttle at that. - TFox Feb 5, 11:23 1
      - the other awesome thing- my wife and I can share calendars. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:25

How exactly do I get that UV code for Skyfall? When I go into Walmart to order the disc, do I need to ask for anything special? Or is it automatic? - kelly Feb 5, 11:16 20
- There is a Blu-Ray type of box. You take it to the counter and purchase. - David Feb 5, 11:18 1

    - [deleted] 15
      - [deleted] 14
        
        Oh yeah, I was more interested in the UV code. -- nm - kelly Feb 5, 11:37 13
        
        FWIW, I can probably find a UV code for cheaper if that's all you need. -- nm - David Feb 5, 11:40 12
        
        The entire package is just too good to overlook - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:43 11
        
        Wait...we'd be keeping that Bluray? - kelly Feb 5, 11:45 9
        
        Well, we could.......*looks at the gaping hole in his 50 Years of Bond blu-ray set* - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:45 8

        [deleted] 1

        Speaking of which, I could help you get all the Star Trek movies in the cloud if you're interested. -- nm - David Feb 5, 11:52 1
        
        Sure...and thank you. let me know what I owe you -- nm - Remlik Feb 5, 11:53

        They had that Harry Potter set of all the movies with NONE of the extras after Christmas, and I jumped on it. - Spawn Feb 5, 11:54
        
        Yeah, that was my thought but I have seen Skyfall itself for $5-$7 today. -- nm - David Feb 5, 11:44

- A) Yes. B) No, but I will do backups if there is ever a whisper of UV going away. -- nm - David Feb 5, 11:17
- even if i had UV, trying to share anything in the cloud with my dad would probably break the tubes -- nm - charlie Feb 5, 11:15
- Actually, the thought of you helping amanda is keeping me very busy -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 11:15
