- ...if it's part of a years-long pattern of harassment and had been ordered by the court to stop. -- nm - the context that Vermin always leaves off Feb 16, 12:16 2
  - /whistles the theme to "Have You Named the Bug Up Your Ass?" in Reagen's direction/ -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 12:23 1
    - I considered Vermin, but it complained. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 12:25
oh, and jeff got me a v day present even though i told him he didn't have to - kare Feb 16, 12:13 9
- it's not that I don't believe it when girls say "you don't have to get me anything." (alright, that's part of it), it's more that I know they'll be - mafic Feb 16, 12:25 4
  - I used to say don't get me anything, he'd get me something I didn't like, and he'd be mad at me for not liking it. -- nm - mara Feb 16, 13:16
  - see! that's part of it! -- nm - kare Feb 16, 12:26 2
    - totally. I did that once on v-day, and... it was a big issue. - mafic Feb 16, 12:30 1
      - "... but if you love me enough, you will anyway!" - kare Feb 16, 12:31
- Best to play it safe. But next year he'll know better :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 16, 12:13 3

    - AVP level dude. Like for the video game? - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 12:26

It's your birthday - choose one: 1 hour nap or 1 hour of TV? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 12:10 11
- Do I have to make up the work that was not when while I was napping? -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 12:19
- "Simple statement of fact." -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 12:17
- If it's a good nap...then nap. - Mel Profit Feb 16, 12:14
- Nap. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 16, 12:12

  - I can't spell -- nm - J Feb 16, 12:12
- nap - always nap -- nm - Epiphany Feb 16, 12:11
- 1 hour of gettin' it on. -- nm - mafic Feb 16, 12:11

LYC: My Vmware environment at work has a 17:1 consolidation ratio of virtual machines to physical machines - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 12:05 7
- hey, do you have a recommendation for a new tuner card for a mythbox - tRuMaN Feb 16, 12:07 6
  - Well, I haven't been keeping up on them. My HD tuners are AverMedia A180 cards but they do not do analog tuning - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 12:08 5
    - hmm, k. - tRuMaN Feb 16, 12:10 4
      - I only have one open pci slot, -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 16, 12:11 3
        
        If you are low on slots, the HD Homerun is a great HD tuner, but again, does not do analog -- (link) - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 12:14 2
        
        BTW, it might seem bad, but I'm not sure the dual cards are super well supported and many cannot do analog and digital at the same time - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 12:19 1
        
        I have one analog tuner working, I wanted a second for now, and the idea of maybe adding a third in the future - tRuMaN Feb 16, 12:32
Dubai denies Israeli tennis player permission to enter country and play in WTA Tourney -- (link) - Beaker Feb 16, 12:03 2
- I'm not surprised, a lot of arab countries don't let israelis in (or even non-israelis if they have an israeli visa), and that's their prerogative, - hsx consultant Feb 16, 12:08 1
  - You consultants are *really* overstepping your bounds now. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 12:10
Just saw my first clips of the Rachel Madow show. She's an odd looking woman. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 12:02 4
- Also, seeing Ray Lahood nailing Judd Gregg was funny. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 12:04 3
  - They can show that? MSNBC is really pulling outall the stops for ratings. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 12:06 2
    - To Gregg's credit, Lahood said they'd just be wrestling naked. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 12:07 1
      - You are a dude, don't you know that this is what we say to get them naked? -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 12:09
What's worse is that American Airlines now serves this crap in place of peanuts or pretzels -- (link) - ty97 Feb 16, 12:01
Dear espn.com: your website still sucks donkey balls and continues to get worse almost every day. -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 11:58 9
- /me buys you a beer. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 11:59 8
  - You're exaggerating of course, but Beaker plays Chicken Little in most of these kind of discussions. -- nm - nubby, worse than oblique Feb 16, 12:02 7
    - do not! *looks up nervously* -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 12:04 2
      - No, of course not. - nubby, worse than oblique Feb 16, 12:10 1
        
        no caps, just one very...this apology sucks! - Beaker Feb 16, 12:15
    - He's quite right, though. What the hell? Who thought the new ESPN.com was a good idea? -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 12:03 3
      - waht are you talking about? it's great! -- nm - hsx consultant Feb 16, 12:05
      - I want to know whose idea it was to say "our autoloading videos are effing awful, but what would make them better is..." - TFox Feb 16, 12:05 1
        
        Last time I visited, I got an auto-loaded video, with a Flash ad rolling over it. Crap like that takes talent. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 12:06
Oh you know where you should go in Florida? Forget Orlando, and WDW, and travelling on an interstate giving the finger to passing motorists... - Loyola Feb 16, 11:56 3

  - I love Islamorada. -- nm - Callisto Feb 16, 12:05 1

Looks like 2-hour or less flights banned smoking in 1988. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 11:49
I've been annoyed every since they stopped serving peanuts on planes. - ty97 Feb 16, 11:49
*wishes he could short a certain just adjusted horror movie for everything he owns* -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 11:48 13
- why can't you? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 11:51 2
  - cause it's fake money and they have a 50,000 share limit? -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 11:52 1
    - :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 11:52
- I rode that bitch up from $28. - Spawn Feb 16, 11:50 7
  - Your ploy to have me visit hsx.com and log into my port has failed! -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 11:59 1

      - My $28 was a guess as I already turned it around. I remember that I made a little over 3.5 mil on it, though. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 11:59
- Figure about a 70% drop next weekend? -- nm - not2fast Feb 16, 11:49 1
  - based on the drop from Friday-Monday yeah, could see a multplier record setter! -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 11:50
I used to advocate putting peanut oil in the water supply. We could wipe out this stupid allergy over a weekend. - Dr.Vermin, immunologist Feb 16, 11:47 13
- also possibly by eating peanuts while pregnant, or feeding your kid too many of 'em. -- nm - mafic Feb 16, 11:52
- That plan would probably case a widespread occurance of the allergy ... immune systems go plaid, bad things happen, and suddenly you've created ... - Beryllium Feb 16, 11:51
- My niece is deathly allergic. Only one in my family to be so. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 11:49 7
