Ok ST...help me with an LCD Projector purchase. What's a good one? This will mostly be used for business - Jim Feb 16, 09:42 7
- there are sites that rate projectors, keep in mind the bulbs are rated for 300 hours and cost about that. -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 16, 11:28
- We've used two Epson Powerlite projectors in my fraternity for the past few years, and they've been excellent. - reluctantcynic Feb 16, 11:06 2
  - Glad to hear it...looks like she's going with an Epson, so that sounds good. thanks. -- nm - Jim Feb 16, 11:27 1
    - that was the brand I had, they get good ratings, esp for the portables -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 16, 11:29
- All I know about those is heat is a major factor. So make sure the one you get is a model that stays cooler. - Bacon Feb 16, 10:58
- Drunk Girls -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 09:56 1
  - I've never heard of that brand. :) -- nm - Jim Feb 16, 10:09
Start chatting with a girl on OKC, seemed to be going well, we agree last week to meet for dinner tonight, but didn't figure out a place. - Tim Feb 16, 09:41 18
- Sorry man. Better off without her. At least now you know she's flaky. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 10:30
- She either got cold feet about online dating or already met someone she liked. -- nm - David Feb 16, 10:22 10
  - Yep, this. If she did meet someone else it may not work out and she will begin hitting you back up in a week or two. - Bacon Feb 16, 10:27 6
    - I would assume people go on a few dates with a person before taking down their profile? -- nm - James Bond (aka phone) Feb 16, 10:29 1
      - Many variables. Interest after the first date. How well the phone conversations are going. -- nm - Bacon Feb 16, 10:36
    - Yeah, but after taking it *that* far and then just disappearing? Doubt I would give her another shot. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 10:29 3
      - I would always give it another shot as long as there wasn't a date yet. - Bacon Feb 16, 10:39 2
        
        Oh and a quick story about Hotcakes. We were emailing back and forth and there was definite interest. - Bacon Feb 16, 10:42 1
        
        Yeah, but she took the time to delete her profile. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 12:49
  - Or she is actually a he. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 10:23 2
    - You have been watching too much Catfish. I never had this happen ever. -- nm - Bacon Feb 16, 10:28 1
      - I have never seen Catfish. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 10:29
- If the profile no longer exists, I believe that means they're no longer interested in -anyone-. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 10:10 2
  - maybe got freaked out by some other respondent who scared her -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 16, 13:52
  - Yup. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 10:17
- Lame. :( Sorry. -- nm - James Bond (aka phone) Feb 16, 09:48

So I sold an item on ebay yesterday but the person hasn't paid. How long do they have? And why can they buy an item without paying right away, that - James Bond (aka phone) Feb 16, 09:32 7
- Because thay are mailing you a box full of pennys. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 10:22
- They have as long to pay as you gave them in the item description. You also had the ability to require immediate payment in the auction listing. -- nm - Kelly Feb 16, 09:45 4
  - Require immediate payment? Hmm.. I don't thing I saw any option to click for that. -- nm - James Bond (aka phone) Feb 16, 09:47 3
    - Yea, via Paypal. -- nm - Kelly Feb 16, 09:48 2
      - only for buy it now items. if it's an auction, you can't do it because, like, the person could be sleeping when the auction ends. -- nm - amanda Feb 16, 10:24 1
        
        Yeah, my item was buy it now. -- nm - James Bond (aka phone) Feb 16, 10:28
- It's ebay...in absolutely no way can you impact the buyers' ability to buy stuff in name. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 09:40
Internet memes are memey. Harlem Shake passed Thrift Shop to take the #1 spot on iTunes. -- nm - Dano Feb 16, 09:19 2
- Memes are gonna meme. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 10:10
- Oh, there's actually a song for it? I guess that makes more sense. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:28
"Trump Tower Vancouver" - trump is selling naming rights now, instead of buying buildings. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:08 3
- Yeah, it's been an issue with some unfinished highrises where people expected quality and got diddly. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 09:13 2
  - I don;t know why anyone would seriously expect quality from the Trump brand though. -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 09:20 1
    - Delusion and ignorance ... flock to him like a moth to a flame -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 10:08

Hmm, seems like I have enough in my Kiva account for another loan...anyone you like right now? - Meg Feb 16, 08:32 7
- I gotta say, I don't put a lot of thought into it. I usually pick some in the five that appear at the top of the list - Guigue Feb 16, 08:44 3
  - I usually browse and give to the hottest dudes. -- nm - Dano Feb 16, 09:09 1
    - It's really the only way. Speaking of, there's a new dude on my morning bus: hot dude with small cute dog. - Amanda Feb 16, 12:40
  - (Except for loans in the US, I don't do those) -- nm - Guigue Feb 16, 08:45
- They're both still fundraising, I think. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Feb 16, 08:41 2
  - Well, one is. His fifth loan, never been delinquent. -- (link) - nubby, Astro-lord Feb 16, 08:43 1
    - Done -- nm - Dano Feb 16, 09:05
I like the new AJAX code in Ikariam. Certain elements auto-refresh now rather than having to reload your browser all the time. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 08:12

4 1/2 hours of dropping the bass is too much - amoxy Feb 16, 07:50 12
- Daaaam - JenBro Feb 16, 10:19
- You fishermen have some weird figures of speech. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 08:00
- And I would say 30-35% of the audience was young women and most were just wearing their underwear - amoxy Feb 16, 07:58 9
  - No wonder your son loved it. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 08:05 2
    - I had to keep my staring to a minimum, because a lot were under 18 - amoxy Feb 16, 08:13
    - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 08:05
  - Yuuuuup. (the wubwubwub nt.) -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 08:00 5

      - +1 Qale Point -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 08:27
    - I like this song, Pink Lady. Got a good beat - amoxy Feb 16, 08:02 [youtube] 1
      - I suppose that's part of the reason why they call the music 'filthy.' -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 08:08
I'm glad basketball rankings don't matter or else you'd have to explain to me how Duke is ranked ahead of Miami (FL) - Dano Feb 16, 07:40 9
- they rolled the dice and thats what came out -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 16, 09:20
- Becuase it's a system based on when did you last lose, not who actually merits the spot. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 08:45 2
  - Duke has lost twice (once to Miami) since Miami last lost. In basketball the polls don't matter so no big deal. -- nm - Dano Feb 16, 09:06 1
    - They also were like 15 spots ahead when Miami last lost. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 09:38
- Which is why I hate Duke in basketball and Notre Dame in Football. Always ranked higher because of the powers that be -- nm - Bacon via droid Feb 16, 08:38
- It's hard to explain how things like this happen. Duke gets votes just because of their name, coach and past. It's wrong but it happens. - Krusty Feb 16, 07:44 3
  - Duke plays UMD today, at UMD. Here's hoping for a big takedown. -- nm - MDH Feb 16, 07:51 2
    - there is no way the whistles let UMD beat Duke before they ditch the conference - SG3 Feb 16, 08:51
    - Word. That would be awesome. -- nm - Krusty Feb 16, 07:54
Did we discuss the ending to Safe Haven? And how ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS IT IS?! (link) -- (link) - Buzz Feb 16, 07:23 5
- As ridiculous as that is...Gals will obviously eat it up -- nm - Flavorize Feb 16, 10:12
- Once again, the old adage "Bad movies make for great reviews" proves true. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 08:04
- Wow. -- nm - MDH Feb 16, 07:57
- That's Remember Me-level awful -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 07:38
- Obvs... SPOILERS in the above link. -- nm - Buzz Feb 16, 07:23
I'm going bed shopping now. do you have advice for me? -- nm - amanda Feb 16, 07:22 2

  - With a CB so you can talk to other car beds. -- nm - Krusty Feb 16, 07:33

  - You may also be forgetting Shoot 'Em Up -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 07:07 3
    - I'm pretty sure he's thinking of Drive Angry. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 08:03
