  - yeah, I'm in firefox 3.0.3. even restarted the browser. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 10:21 1
    - Hrm. Well, what it should do is read the saved cookie for posting, and use that to set a new cookie that persists while the browser is open - Beryllium Oct 24, 10:22
  - It works for me in Firefox, just not Chrome. -- nm - Jihad the Prophet Oct 24, 10:19
  - no problem here in FF 3.0.3 (danish) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 24, 10:18

    - He's every bit as misguided about baseball as my wife is. -- nm - David Oct 24, 10:16
- Iff the NYTimes is junk, I'd shudder to think what the rest of the mainstream media rates in your book. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 10:09 5
  - it's been dumbed down dramatically over the last couple decades. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:12 4
    - doubtless, but it's still better than most of the print media out there, to say nothing of what passes for journalism on television. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 10:15
    - look what it's competing with. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 24, 10:12 2
      - it started with USA today. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:14 1
        
        yep and the commuter sized papers as well. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 24, 10:18
- I just shudder for the day when all traditional press goes under and we are left out with TV and online "journalism". -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 24, 10:08 3
  - So when the NY Times publishes an article on paper, it's journalism, but when it publishes that same article online, it's "journalism"? -- nm - mara Oct 24, 10:17 1
    - I think the online "journalism" he's referring to is Drudge and the like, not jsut whether or not it happens to be online. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 10:18
  - Looks at the slackertalk journal, wonders whats on sale at macy's, sees nothing but tshirt and rays tix -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 24, 10:16

- There, the upgrade is in place. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 10:07 12
  - sees nothing different. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 24, 10:08 10
    - That's the hope. Looks like the new stuff is broken, though, so it'll take me a bit to fix it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 10:09 9
      - meh, I changed my time zone, works fine for me. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 24, 10:09 8
        
        Nice. Must have been a firefox bug. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 10:11 7

        I don't see a time zone option. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:13 4
        
        If the system accurately detects that you've saved a cookie, the Change Info page should have a TZ dropdown list -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 10:16 3
        
        still not working for me in firefox -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 10:19 2
        
        Weird. Maybe try restarting the browser? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 10:21

sorry amy, when i rule the compound, steampunk will be outlawed -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 24, 09:56 38
- Compounds are usually off the grid, (cause the reason you build them is we expect the grid to be gone) and steampunk will be the only way to do sumtin -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 24, 10:13
- heretic! -- nm - the colin Oct 24, 10:04
- I have no idea where you've gotten this idea from that you will rule. - Trish Oct 24, 10:02 1
  - there will be no talk of long pig! -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 10:02
- which is why your rule will never come to pass. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 24, 09:58 11

    - nO gURl ALOWWED -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:04
    - will it be covered with crude crayon drawings of pixies? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 24, 10:03 8
      - I'm thinking nonsenical slogans like "Kal-El and daggits rule!" -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 10:03 7
        
        and the He-Man Woman Haters Club. -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 10:05 1
        
        *hands remlik his membership card* -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 24, 10:06
        
        well they do - pixie fierce Oct 24, 10:05 4
        
        just because you're going to be the only one bringing a copy of Krull to the compound doesn't mean everyone will immediately fall in line -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 10:05 3
        
        look, I have a simple solution - tRuMaN Oct 24, 10:06 2
        
        that is what the shack will be, his very own domain -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 10:07 1
        
        He'll be the Otis to your Lex Luthor. "Otisburg?!?!" -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 10:14
- What exactly is steampunk? Is it making new gadgets appear old? I think there was a steampunk cell phone on Geekologie. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 24, 09:58 11
  - for con geeks who think goth isn't poncey enough -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 24, 10:02 1

      - I love this. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 24, 10:19
      - that's wild -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 24, 10:04
      - Thank you. I'll be checking that out at home. I am conservative with the work surfing. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 24, 10:04
  - there's a bit more to it than that, but you've got the gist. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 09:59
  - think of the machine Kenneth Branagh made in Wild Wild West -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 09:59 1
    - see, steampunk gave us Wild Wild West. think about that -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 24, 10:11
- I'm going to open a cooler, sexier compound next door that doesn't outlaw creativity. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 09:57

      - hmmm, maybe i can grant you a waiver -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 24, 10:01
- *violent coup* -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 09:57
- Then we'll crash the gates with our crazy steampunk limo! -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 24, 09:57 1
  - which probably runs on coal and coal will be long gone by the time we get to the compound -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 24, 10:00
Since today is new features day. I posted this last night, but if you want to try it out while I'm still testing. Facebook Boxoffice Prediction Game -- (link) - kilboooo Oct 24, 09:55 5
- that page tells me to login to play, though I am already logged in. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 24, 09:59 1

Amy from B2: Actually I don't have her phone #... didn't think to ask for it either. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 24, 09:53 7
- Then email--once. Maybe it's "gameplaying" but nothing turns me off more than the multiple calls/mails. Give me a freaking chance to reply. -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 09:56 3
  - yeah, that's my plan. I'm not really a call-more-than-once kinda guy anyway -- nm - secretslacker Oct 24, 09:56 2
    - I didn't think you were, but I was afraid some tter would post an elaborate scheme! -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 09:58 1
      - the plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 24, 10:01
- you went out with someone you met *on the internet*?? scary. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 09:56 2
