heh, google has started to twitter. from which i saw this, pretty cool - user photos from panoramio are now explorable in street view. nm but: -- (link) - b! Feb 26, 12:50 4
- I feel like Twitter has reached some kind of critical mass over the last month or so. -- nm - mara Feb 26, 12:52 3
  - Probably not even close. I know the "1 in 10 internet users" are on Twitter...I wonder how many use Facebook or Myspace. - JaxSean Feb 26, 12:56 1
    - oh yah, it's still growing; but i already foresee issues. -- nm - b! Feb 26, 12:58
  - i have no idea how the people who aren't choosy get by. -- nm - b! Feb 26, 12:53

- The TB fanbase is just brutalizing them over this. Meanwhile, Carolina and NO are cap strapped and only have 5 draft picks each. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:52 3
  - I'm just blown away that at $58mil under the cap...they felt it necessary to dump Brooks for $3mil more. - Jim Feb 26, 12:53 2
    - Similarly, Dunn had 1,100 yards for them last year and didn't cost a lot. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:54
    - Yeah, he's only the remaining face of your team. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:54

- You need to listen to the Wall St. Anthem. -- (link) - Loyola Feb 26, 12:51 [youtube] 1
  - OMG! I love that song. It was my favorite for a long time. - ceregon Feb 26, 13:22
Hmm, time to do a test - Beryllium Feb 26, 12:46 6
- It burns! The goggles do NOTHING! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 12:50
- While we're fixing things... - David Feb 26, 12:47 2
  - Hmm, that's a quirk of PHP. I should definitely look into fixing that. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 12:54
  - Also, on the new Safari, the names are not in bold when you read a post - Guigue Feb 26, 12:52
- ?od uoy did tahw -- nm - saeSxaJ Feb 26, 12:47 1
  - who is JaxSeas? ... I was testing an HTML exploit that a coworker pointed out to me. - Beryllium Feb 26, 12:56
Who hates Bradley? - nubby Feb 26, 12:46
LYC update: we've just started boarding. But... - Ty97 Feb 26, 12:45
Three of the lesser know good twist endings: Angel Heart , Dead Again and Frailty -- nm - Inigo Feb 26, 12:43 20
- agree on all three, plus Identity...would also add Dead Silence. -- nm - ceregon Feb 26, 13:24
- ^ known -- nm - Inigo Feb 26, 12:54
- Identity. Although I know a lot people don't like it. -- nm - mara Feb 26, 12:49 3
  - I thought "Identity" was pretty good. The ending was a total shock. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:51
  - The best line about Identity I heard is that it's like they made Donald Kaufman's movie from Adaptation. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 12:50 1
    - "Mom says it's psychologically taut!" -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 12:51
- April Fool's Day! -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:48
- I dug "Dead Again". -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:47
- Frailty is such a good movie it makes me something that it doesn't get it's due. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:46
- Loved Dead Again and Frailty -- nm - Beaker Feb 26, 12:46
- Was not a fan of Frailty. Loved Dead Again haven't seen Angel Heart -- nm - Redmond on my phone Feb 26, 12:46
- I *hated* Frailty's ending. - Reagen Feb 26, 12:46 5
  - This was an instance wherein spelling it out is better. (spoilers) - David Feb 26, 12:51
  - I can see that, but...(spoilers) - Inigo Feb 26, 12:48
  - really? I was totally not expecting it. -- nm - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 12:47 2
    - expecting it or not isn't really my point. - Reagen Feb 26, 12:49 1
      - so it was the *spoils* - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 13:08
- * gold star for you* all extremely worthy -- nm - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 12:46
- Shattered also. Tom Beringer frmo back in the day. -- nm - Jim Feb 26, 12:45 1
  - I don't remember the ending, but I know I saw it. Some thing about facial surgery, and Berenger looking exactly like someone else... -- nm - Inigo Feb 26, 12:47
*yawn* -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 12:43
Color me surprised that Fringe has more viewers than 24. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 26, 12:41 3
- Honest to goodness: I am not sure how 24 held on as long as it did. I love Kiefer and all but seriously! -- nm - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 12:46
- *raises hand* 24 blows. Fringe is decent. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 12:44
- I figured they had at least 25 -- nm - Ty97 Feb 26, 12:43
Joe Biden internet gaff. Not exactly on par with "a series of tubes". -- (link) - Mop Feb 26, 12:41 3
- This is why nobody messes with Joe. - znufrii Feb 26, 12:42 2
  - Joe's so tech, he memorizes the IPs of web sites. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:44 1
    - 209.225.35.43 -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 12:50
lir for David, Ben's Chili Bowl is absolutely as good/better than it looks, and also worth the half hour wait in line. -- nm - Max Feb 26, 12:40 5
- Thanks for the verifcation, PFU! -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:52
- Is there a certain thing you like to get there? -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:42 1
  - I usually get a chili half smoke + plain dog with mustard because both are so good I can't choose. I haven't had their burger. -- nm - Max Feb 26, 12:59
- long as i've been here, i've never gone -- nm - prayformojo Feb 26, 12:41
- cool -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:41

- I may be swearing off baseball then... - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:48
- I've never understood this... If MLB knew about 104 players who tested positive, why did they ignore those test results? - mrfuzzy Feb 26, 12:43 10
  - These were confidential in nature to find out if further legitimate testing would go forward. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:45 4
    - From a legal perspective, was a crime commited? Would league or union officials be liable if they could identify the person and did nothing about it? -- nm - mrfuzzy Feb 26, 12:47 3
      - [deleted]
      - Most likely, but no one here's looking into legality for whatever reasons. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:49 1
        
        Here's the deal though...without the promise on anonymity...no player would have agreed to this test under any circumstance. - Jim Feb 26, 12:51
  - This was the way the league and the union could agree to determine if, in fact, there was a steroid problem in baseball and therefore needed a policy. - Jim Feb 26, 12:45 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - How him and Fehr still have jobs after how they basically incriminated every player in their union by being idiots...i have no clue. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:46 1
        
        It's true - they really have done that. And now the burden of innocence lies on every player. Ridiculous. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:48
  - they were supposed to be confidential under the agreement that allowed for the testing in the first place. -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 12:43
- Name them. Then folks will realize that Edgar put up superlative numbers without drugs, unlike a lot of his peers. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:41 3
  - Maybe he shoulda used them then. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:41 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Maybe he woulda made the majors for good a lot earlier than 28years old and would have #'s that make his other flaws irrelevant. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:43
- I'm all for naming names...as long as Albert Pujols isn't one of them. nm - Jim Feb 26, 12:39 1
  - " There's only one name I'm confused about... who is Al Pewholtz ?" -- nm - Peter Gammons Feb 26, 12:42
I'm dreading the upcoming fantasy baseball draft my wife signed me up for. I'm going to get spanked, bad. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:36 7
- [deleted] 2
  - hey, you have an excuse. I'm not new and I still can't pick a team. Pitchers and middle infielders mess me up. Whoever I like, pick the opposite :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:46 1
    - [deleted]
- Your wife signed you up for a spanking but you're not that into it... - mrfuzzy Feb 26, 12:37 1
  - that sums it up nicely -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:37
- [deleted] 1
  - No this is different. I'm abandoning all pretense now. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:37
Pet Peeve. People who e-mail you then IM you with the same query. Choose one, dammit! -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 26, 12:32 6
- They're covering their bases. -- nm - lileve Feb 26, 12:38 1
  - It's dumb. If you need it now, IM me (I mean it does stand for Instant Me, right?) but if it isn't in the realm of immediate, then e-mail. But both? - HdnAgnda Feb 26, 12:41
- Or call you, don't leave a message, and then email. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 26, 12:32 3
  - I do this. It depends on the matter I guess. Nobody likes long VMs -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 26, 12:36
  - This doesn't bother me. Voicemail aggravates me. Not sure why. -- nm - mrfuzzy Feb 26, 12:35 1
    - Me too. I never listen to them. -- nm - Loyola Feb 26, 12:37
Do we have a Slingbox network on ST? -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:31
Primal Fear question (huge spoilers) - Dano Feb 26, 12:30 13
- Basically (spoils) - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:33 12
  - But then doesn't the entire movie fall apart based on the problem I mentioned? -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 12:34 11
    - This is exactly what I've said all along. It negates the movie. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:53
    - Not really. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:39
    - My take (spoil) - decline Feb 26, 12:37
    - I don't think so (spoils) - Jim Feb 26, 12:35 7
      - That's my problem... (spoilers) - Dano Feb 26, 12:38 6
        
        Maybe it's like a certain Hitchcock movie (spoils) - Roger More Feb 26, 12:46 2
        
        (spoils) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 12:55 1
        
        true enough -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 13:00
        
        FWIW, I agree with you. It's a great role, but faulty logic. -- nm - Inigo Feb 26, 12:46
        
        You have now ruined Primal Fear for me because you are right. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 12:41
        
        I guess (spoil) - decline Feb 26, 12:40
Can you make it that google can't see your Facebook? I'm #2 when I google my last name. TIA. -- nm - lileve Feb 26, 12:29 5
- See #3 on this list -- (link) - con_carne Feb 26, 12:31 4
  - Thanks! -- nm - lileve Feb 26, 12:32 3
    - And to Mop, I believe he posted that on ST a couple weeks ago -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:32 2
      - I remember reading it, but I'm not sure I posted it. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:35 1
        
        Thanks to whoever! -- nm - lileve Feb 26, 12:38
Update: now estimated to leave at 3:25pm! - ty97 Feb 26, 12:27 4
- I love Easter !! -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 26, 12:35
- [deleted]
- So that's when you get your next update? -- nm - TaurusII Feb 26, 12:29 1
  - nope. Still leaving at 3:25. - ty97 Feb 26, 12:37
I keep watching this beautifully restored Victorian house in town circle the toilet. - Mop Feb 26, 12:26 16
- Bah. Enough teasing. Here's the listing. -- (link) - Mop Feb 26, 12:43 1
  - Yeah, looks tragic. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 12:51
- Now if somebody would just offer them $100k...... -- nm - TaurusII Feb 26, 12:30 5
  - The bank wouldn't let them. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:32 4
    - Won't let who? Doesn't the bank own it by now? -- nm - TaurusII Feb 26, 12:33 3
      - Given that they tried to rent out rooms and are now asking the exact space price as was paid in 2008, the bank hasn't foreclosed yet. - Mop Feb 26, 12:34 2
        
        May be trying to seel it as a going concern; "This isn't just a house, it has an income stream attached, far above normal rental revenue if a certain - Loyola Feb 26, 12:41 1

- Sorry, what's tragic about boarding houses? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 12:29 7
  - more that a gorgeous home would be turned into one. -- nm - Andie Feb 26, 12:30 6
    - I understand. Does that make it less gorgeous? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 12:30 5
      - well, yes. the overall flow is disrupted when everyone is living behind closed and locked doors. there's no common decorating. not all tenants are - Andie Feb 26, 12:35 2
        
        [shrug] I don't see it. But I defer. - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 12:42 1
        
        Vermin went to school in SF in the late 60s? -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:45
      - Large houses chopped up into separate living units do tend to lose aesthetic quality. -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 12:32 1
        
        It's a college town, too. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:35
Andie, do you need to register in order to vote? (Sorry if this has been asked before.) -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 12:25 3
- nmb hopping on this thread ( I will vote!) but Kelly the cow orker and the flowers - funny, funny stuff - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 12:36
- the site is sort of confusing - when you vote, you get a pop up window that you must fill out. then, sometimes it seems to give another window with - Andie Feb 26, 12:26 1

Eric Ripert's segment on Tony Bourdain's Food Porn episode looked awesome and decadent. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:24 9
- Ripert was also on Bourdain's old show on Food Network (A Cook's Tour). They seem to be great friends. - Diva Feb 26, 12:26 3
  - I never did see Bourdain's old show. Was it good? -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:27 2
    - It was very good. And totally based on his book. He pretty much took the same schtick over to "No Reservations". - Diva Feb 26, 12:30
    - yes. I think Food Channel or Fine Living still plays this occasionally -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 12:29
- i'd love to see Eric get a show. he's too good to be a casual guest on No Reservations & Top Chef -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 12:26 4
  - Coincidentally, he announced he had gotten a show on PBS about two weeks ago. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:47 1
    - awesome -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:48
  - At least I'd like to see a two hour special or something to the effect of him teaching seafood. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:28 1
    - He could do that with Jean Georges V. who eats the freshest sushi available everyday of his life. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:35
Usual Suspects had a great ending as well. -- nm - Jim Feb 26, 12:24 6
- loved that ending. The whole movie is great. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:37
- The Orphange and Pan's Lab were a bit different for me. -- nm - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 12:35 1
  - Agree on Pan's Lab. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 26, 12:54
- I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:28
- Ah, yes -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:25
- Word. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 26, 12:24
*turns out to be the killer* Surprise! -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:23 5
- I never saw this coming? maybe from the Cheese brother but not this one. - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 12:35 4
  - El Hermano de Queso. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:39 3
    - el hermano con_queso -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:40 2
      - Oh right, he's with cheese not the cheese himself. - Diva Feb 26, 12:41 1
        
        No sweat. He only vaguely knows about his ST nickname :) -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:50
*pretends to send B2 flowers* -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:23
No chance of live webcast of golf today, is there? -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:23
