It's the little things. Came back from vacation to find that Chrome had updated and the horrible extra space around favorite links has disappeared - TWuG Jul 29, 08:38 1

      - I'm not so sure they ever planned to wrap it up after one season. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 08:50
      - The season was written so that it could carry on, if it was popular enough. There is a conclusion, but there is an opening for it to continue. - Jim Jul 29, 08:49

        right. and the guys who get good should be jumping to europe at their first opportunity...nm - x Jul 29, 08:51
      - the list pretty much begins and ends with Landon Donovan right now. -- nm - znufrii Jul 29, 08:47
  - right, most anyone who is any good plays in a real league....nm - x Jul 29, 08:37
- sorting those out will probably be more exciting than an actual soccer game. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 29, 08:29 1
  - You're probably right. 240 Soccer cards in all their glory. 5 hits per box, so that's decent...I guess. -- nm - Jim Jul 29, 08:32

    - Meh, you'll never get ahead that way. - David Jul 29, 07:56 6
      - nubby says I should trade him Forte for Gore :) -- nm - oblique Jul 29, 07:57 5

- "aqua mode" aside, I have not seen any advertising say that it is waterproof. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 07:40 3
  - the commercial where they dunk it in a fish tank seems to suggest it's waterproof. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 29, 07:46 2
    - I was going to say. In the commercial, the kid is watching a video while its in a fish bowl. They also run it under a faucet. It's the whole point. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 29, 07:48 1
      - the funny thing is - I don't care if it takes pictures under water. I just don't want... - Mel Profit Jul 29, 07:52

  - Smothered in cheese...it's the only way to eat it, if you must. -- nm - Stephen Jul 29, 07:42 2
    - Know what else sucks about broccoli? Broccoli burps. Nasty. -- nm - Shaun Jul 29, 07:43 1
      - Still better than asparagus pee -- nm - Bacon Jul 29, 07:44
- also depends on how thick the stems are -- nm - zork Jul 29, 07:09

  - Boiling it is 3 min., sauteing might be a bit longer. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 06:45 1
    - If the oil is already heating, it really shouldn't take too long. Three minutes would have been my guess. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 29, 06:47
- After about 2-3 minutes, I'd think. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 29, 06:43 1
