    - That's for the silver plan? Also, Illinois (you're in Illinois, right?) might come up with something better. It's hard to get a handle on IL so far. -- nm - mara Sep 17, 16:04

Hmm, the fair use logo can be read a different way. -- (link) - mara Sep 17, 15:15 8

If you're not looking for a job and a recruiter wants to randomly connect on LinkedIn, do you? - spamlet Sep 17, 15:15 8
- No, cause then 400 more will contact you. -- nm - Truman Sep 17, 16:52
- yes, cause you never know what might happen (you lose your job, they have a dream job for you, etc) -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 15:44
- isn't that what it is for????? -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 15:22 1
  - I'm not sure I'd want every temp agency around having my info. It'd be like posting on Craigslist that I'm looking for a job. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 17, 15:24
- I would expect them to contact me directly, first. Otherwise, it seems fishy. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 17, 15:17

- Heads up for Xbox players - Rockstar recommends (as do I) not installing the Play disc because it's disruptive to draw distance. - Max Sep 17, 15:18 8
  - Wait, what? Draw distance? -- nm - David Sep 17, 15:25 1
    - Here, these videos show the effect (no spoilers) - Max Sep 17, 15:30
  - So, boot up with install disc in drive. Will do. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 17, 15:21
  - So it gives you an option to install the Play disc after Disc 1? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 15:20 4
    - If you're booted up and insert the Install disc, you don't get the option. Installation starts, then "Insert Disc 2" then "Complete." - Max Sep 17, 15:25 1
      - (the effect of doing it 'wrong' won't ruin gameplay, it's just noticeable and annoying if you're picky about draw distance and pop ins) - Max Sep 17, 15:27
    - Nevermind, just asked me to insert it. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 17, 15:24 1
      - actually, scratch what I said about the auto install. I just tested it. If you don't manually install Disc 2, you're good. -- nm - Max Sep 17, 17:05

      - plastic is faster at all the fast food places I've been to. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 15:25 1
