        the "crap" post above has absolutely nothing to do with the credit score question. -- nm - znufrii, scoreless Feb 19, 09:00 1

Sarah Lane just tweeted that her press pass for SXSW got denied. I'm pretty sure this is going to cause a stir. - Mop Feb 19, 08:47 12
- I'm sure if I knew who this was, this would be scandalous. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 08:52 1
  - I follow her on Twitter. She MUST be important! -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 08:52
- Was she requesting a press pass for all of SXSW, or just the Interactive Festival? - ty97 Feb 19, 08:51
- They must have based the decision on personality. -- nm - David Feb 19, 08:48 1
  - I assume "lack thereof" was implied. -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 08:50
- who's that? -- nm - decline Feb 19, 08:47 6
  - yeah, never heard of her -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 08:48 4

    - Isn't she in some comic book? -- nm - Subversive Feb 19, 08:49 2
      - I haven't read a comic book for a decade or more except one of those X-men one's but even then I was like *shrug* - oblique Feb 19, 08:50

    - I'm tempted to boot Soderbergh. His last movie I think was really solid was Ocean's 11. - Will Hunting Feb 19, 09:00 1
      - Yeah, he's kind of been coasting on his ego since then. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 19, 09:02
    - (Actually, I'd boot Favs for Baz in a heartbeat.) -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 08:57
    - [deleted]
    - That was a great omission. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 19, 08:56
- Okay, #1 & 3...good, how the hell does Eastwood end up that low? - Will Hunting Feb 19, 08:51 5
  - it's EW, it's like the entertainment tonight of the magazine world. -- nm - mafic Feb 19, 08:53
  - Eastwood, Burton, and to a lesser extent PTA are all criminally low to me. -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 08:52 2
    - I'll even throw Ron Howard in there. He puts up a varied quality resume. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 19, 08:53 1
      - yes -- nm - Don Homer Feb 19, 08:58
  - I thought the same thing. He's not exactly my style, but his mastery is unquestionable -- nm - con_carne has class tonight Feb 19, 08:52
- Being a great director doesn't mean what it once did, but this list is pretty great. Too America-centric, thoush -- nm - con_carne has class tonight Feb 19, 08:50
- Jackson way too high, del Toro way too low, the Coens too low, Scott too high, Nolan too high, Eastwood too low, Aronofsky too high - Don Homer Feb 19, 08:49 1

hmm, is it worth paying for something like angie's list to find a good mover? - tRuMaN Feb 19, 08:39 5
- 1) have any friends who moved recently? 2) Ask your realtor -- nm - decline Feb 19, 08:41 4
  - check with your Chamber of Commerce of BBB -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 08:42 3
    - "or" to make sure they are reputable -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 08:42 2
      - he already did that. 45 names came up. he's trying to pare it down -- nm - decline Feb 19, 08:44 1

  - No, they all need to be spelled different, so it's not confusing. - Subversive Feb 19, 08:50
- make a first down, chug a beer. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 08:46
- make the ball randomly give out electric shocks. -- nm - mafic Feb 19, 08:37 1
  - "he's at the 15, the 10" ZAP "Down he goes and the ball is loose" that would actually be kinda awesome. -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 08:43
I've never seen the reason for texting vs. email. Texting is just email with a character limit -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 08:34 56
- I don't see the point of email when either you could just send a short a text or if more explanation is needed make a call. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:44
- when using a phone, texting is usually easier, especially for quick messages -- nm - ty97 Feb 19, 08:37 3
  - I'm just speaking from a technical standpoint that I've never seen the reason for the two separate protocols - oblique Feb 19, 08:43 2
    - sms was originally only a service for GSM techs -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Feb 19, 09:03
    - I think a large part of it is legacy. sms = less data flying around, and old networks just didn't have the bandwidth. - mafic Feb 19, 08:47
- On Facebook, I friended a 14 year old son of a good friend - amoxy Feb 19, 08:36 28
  - Rule #1: Never Facebook coworkers, bosses, or kids of anyone you know -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 08:41 6
    - my rule: Don't put anything on FB that you don't want people to see (even if you didn't friend them). these things can be found. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 08:52
    - *nodding* -- nm - Subversive Feb 19, 08:50 3
      - I still haven't even friended my 80 year old Aunt. There's just things she doesn't need to know :) -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 08:51 2
        
        I just tend to police my Facebook fairly strictly. Anything off-color that someone posts on my wall gets deleted. -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 08:53 1
        
        I feel bad about deleting stuff. I should get over that -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 08:55
    - FB is different for everyone, but I totally live by this - con_carne has class tonight Feb 19, 08:44
  - Adults not understand how kids communicate? That has never happened in the history of time! -- nm - con_carne has class tonight Feb 19, 08:39
  - I am convinced my stepsister is a functional illiterate, the way she IMs me. -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 08:37
  - Ummmm... that's all kinds of creepy. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:37 18
    - I have known this kid since he was born and we have the same birthday - amoxy Feb 19, 08:40 1
      - My head isn't in the gutter. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:42
    - Why? Are you attempting some lame pedophile joke? -- nm - amoxy Feb 19, 08:39 15
      - Not attempting to joke about it in any way. I just think it's inappropriate for an adult to "friend" children on FB and myspace. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:41 14

        you can untag yourself in other people's photos. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 08:52
        
        I see your point and if that is what CT going for, I understand that -- nm - amoxy Feb 19, 08:48
        
        I'm friends with my neice and nephews. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 19, 08:43 9
        
        Really, I do not get the inappropiate aspect of it - amoxy Feb 19, 08:45 7
        
        Well, I could "send you a beer" on Send Drinks, I could make a slightly "blue" comment on your status... -- nm - con_carne has class tonight Feb 19, 08:47 6
        
        block application. delete comment. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 08:54
        
        "amoxy has been tagged in 17 photos" (Showing all the things that should've stayed in Vegas.) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:49 4
        
        you can untag yourself. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 08:53 3
        
        Yes you can.But most people don't monitor their updates 24/7 so they can be on things like the the instant they happen. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:56 2
        
        you can have tag updates sent to your email so you get the alert instantly. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 08:57 1
        
        but I only text! - oblique Feb 19, 09:00
        
        I was going to add an "unless you're related." And even then... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:45
        
        Wow really? -- nm - amoxy Feb 19, 08:43
- People have more of a habit of ignoring their email. Understandably -- nm - con_carne has class tonight Feb 19, 08:36
- it's good for information on the run - addresses, phone numbers, quick notes while you are out. -- nm - Andie Feb 19, 08:35 2
  - If the phone's "texting" interface was an email address, the brevity of the message would be irrelevant -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 08:39 1
    - you really don't get the whole texting thing do you? -- nm - decline Feb 19, 08:43
- not everyone has blackberries or iphones. see? -- nm - the ides of march love mandy lane Feb 19, 08:35 3
  - totally agree. -- nm - Remlik Feb 19, 08:37
  - I have a BB but I hate to carry that big bulk around -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 19, 08:36 1
    - (so I use my other phone...) -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 19, 08:54
- are you in front of a computer all the time? - loosilu Feb 19, 08:35 7
  - But phone + data plan = email client -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 08:35 6
    - my cheap-ass phone can't even handle that. - mafic Feb 19, 08:43
    - then i have to log into my email and still go through the process of typing in a message on my numeric keyboard, and if the person receiving is out - Andie Feb 19, 08:37 3
      - I just think every phone's "texting" interface should be an email address. No reason it should be a separate system -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 08:38 2
        
        um, actually it is the other way around. Everyone's email address is their (text) phone number - decline Feb 19, 08:39
        
        i don't want my phone beeping every time i get an email. -- nm - Andie Feb 19, 08:39
    - I don't have a data plan. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 08:36

  - that's the only time I'll text. Every other time, I punch in 7 or 10 digits and talk! -- nm - CQ Feb 19, 08:36 3

      - I just click 'JackDawson' on the text screen and start typing. - ty97 Feb 19, 08:38
