  - I lied - that's not the version that mentions the reviews. this is! -- (link) - b. Mar 18, 13:39
- How much more time for marketing do they want? Most huge movies don't get a month's worth of ads...much less a biography. - Will Hunting Mar 18, 13:34 3
  - "We just can't find any white people who know who Steve Jobs is." -- nm - con_carne Mar 18, 13:36

EA CEO steps down -- (link) - Remlik Mar 18, 13:29 2
- *sweet* for non SimCity reasons too. -- nm - Max Mar 18, 13:31 1

  - I don't know. It still seems backwards because the risk to a valid claimant of an OFP far outweighs the risks to the invalid victim of a wrongful OFP - pmb Mar 18, 13:45 5
    - Let the wronged party prove they were wronged? - Stephen Mar 18, 13:48 4
      - Isn't that what the judge issuing the Protective Order in the first place is supposed to do? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 13:57 2
        
        In theory, yes. In practice though, far too often, that's not what happens. - Stephen Mar 18, 14:06 1
        
        It is an inexact science to be sure, but the judge should be making a reasoned decision to issue the order in the first place. I've suggested the - pmb Mar 18, 14:11
      - isn't that the point of getting the order of protection in the first place? -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 13:54

      - Oh come on Vermin, it's not like it's an important right... - Stephen Mar 18, 13:49
- Eh, I don't like that idea. Disarmed when someone gets a protective order on you? Not enough. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 18, 13:20 4
  - anybody douchy enough to smack their life partner probably has lots of others they've been ahole to and need protection from -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 13:26 3

        usually you add garlic at the very end of browning just before adding your braise liquid, crocks cook by low heat moisture -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 13:32

        it is fine if you have the time to do it, IIRC we did WN over 2 days last year. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 13:18 15

        [deleted] 1
        
        Sorry, I just think that 10 seconds is too quick to yell sold. People have to find some of these guys. - spamlet Mar 18, 13:37
        
        I doubt sincerely Yahoo is flexible enough for that. -- nm - TFox Mar 18, 13:32
        
        I am not complaining about it, but I can see it going longer than that. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 13:25 5
        
        I'm hoping we'll save time by using Y! just because we always had problems with CBS and people getting dropped or delayed. -- nm - spamlet Mar 18, 13:27 4
        
        I swear I remember doing an auction over a weekend, on 2 seperate days..... - groiny Mar 18, 13:28 3
        
        Maybe years ago in IRC? My first year was IRC but since we moved to using CBS' system it was always one day. -- nm - spamlet Mar 18, 13:30 2

- I have been called a "Wanker" before - amoxy Mar 18, 13:20
- no, because I look like a retard when I wink. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 13:16
- Considering how much I mess with people...I usually have to wink at someone else, so at least 1 other person knows I'm joking. -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 13:14
- I've been known to do some nictitating on occasion. -- nm - Diva Mar 18, 13:13
- Yeah. With my deep voice and strange sense of humor, I need any way I can to express levity to people. -- nm - con_carne Mar 18, 13:12

- I can and sometimes do, but can't remember a speicifc time I did. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 13:08
- Sometimes when I tease somebody I wink at another person in the conversation. It's probably kind of corny. I do it very sparingly. -- nm - mara Mar 18, 13:07
- *grumbles* I can't wink. - Inigo Mar 18, 13:07 2
  - your use of ";)" over the years has all been lies?! -- nm - b. Mar 18, 13:29 1
