    - was he even born in America? - pigby Mar 1, 16:43 2
      - it's like he has a secret about something. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 16:47 1
        
        Plus he's some kind Hindu/Muslim infidel, isn't he? -- nm - mara Mar 1, 16:55

- you were on TT. you don't know what backboarding is? -- nm - the ides of march love mandy lane Mar 1, 16:28 2

Demi Postpones Hospital Celebration -- (link) - marcel Mar 1, 15:48
3 chapters in, and I'm still trying to like Watchmen. I may end up being the only person I know who doesn't absolutely love it. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 15:12 16
- It really is one of those books where the ending justifies everything that precedes it. - TWuG Mar 1, 16:30 2
  - So it's like a parfait? Or an onion? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 16:48 1
    - Like an onion. Layer upon layer (spoils) - TWuG Mar 1, 16:57
- i read it in one sitting. i thought it was pretty brilliant -- nm - pigby Mar 1, 15:56
- I didn't love it at all. - ty97 Mar 1, 15:53
- I never cared much for it when it initially came out, and still don't -- nm - peglegpete Mar 1, 15:48
- I didn't. It's good, but I was expecting spectacularness or something. - JaxSean Mar 1, 15:26 4
  - You have your dvr set for Tuesday, right? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 1, 16:19 1
    - Yep. Season Pass'd. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 16:33
  - It does feel dated with all the Cold Wars speculation. - Inigo Mar 1, 15:32 1
    - It does get better, but it's nothing spectacular. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 15:33
- I can't believe the security is up over seven dollars today. maybe the thing makes 45 mill. *maybe.* -- nm - the ides of march love mandy lane Mar 1, 15:24 2
  - The only reason I think $60M+ is possible is because $60M+ isn't really all that big a deal anymore. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 15:33 1
    - I do know it'll be one of the easiest post-adjust shorts of my HSX 'career'. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 16:25

- Don't you know, weathermen always give 110%. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 16:21
My brother just sent me pics of the snow in the western part of the state. *sigh* -- nm - nubby Mar 1, 14:49 2
- The snow is always whiter on the other side? -- nm - Todd Manning Mar 1, 15:48 1
  - I want snow too! yesterday I went outside without a jacket! -- nm - marcel Mar 1, 16:09

    - Yeah, they look at the Super Bowl favorites right now. -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:45 3
      - Only if Eli swings to either a quality QB or a Dilfer-like 3 & 0 with occassional points QB. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 16:20 1
        
        This argument went out the window when he held up a Super Bowl title. -- nm - David Mar 1, 17:01
      - Err, like. -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:45
    - - Spagnuolo -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 14:32
Missing NFL boaters identified -- (link) - Reagen Mar 1, 14:26
wow. i hope that deputy from B2 gets his ass pummeled in prison - Guy Mar 1, 13:55 17
- I think that will be a given. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 13:58 16
  - A couple Cantor notes for you. - Inigo Mar 1, 14:17 15
    - so it is not for real money? - yet? this is so crazy - I wonder how fast it will sell to it's daily limit? - Epiphany Mar 1, 14:54 14
      - I think they gave everyone $1,000 in free money. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 16:46 2
        
        $1,000 was the minimum for any beta tester. If you said you were going to invest more, I think they'd give your beta account more money. - Inigo Mar 1, 16:50 1
        
        Yes and Yes. - JaxSean Mar 1, 17:07
      - No, not yet. They're in beta, and still obviously have many bugs to work out. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 15:05 10
        
        yeah who decides who gets 1st dibs on selling? when Jonas Bros type event takes place - who gets to shove it off 1st? - Epiphany Mar 1, 15:48 9
        
        Not sure. Hopefully, they'll lower volatility enough to where almost everyone can short if they want to. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 15:54 2
        
        They can't. If no one's buying it at a lower price, you can't be shorting, basically. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 16:34 1
        
        That's true. I meant that they could avoid the situation where the stock can't be shorted because it already hit the lower daily limit. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 16:43
        
        Cantor is gonna have to find money when this happens to them in real life and everybody shorted it. - peglegpete Mar 1, 15:52 5
        
        So what was the intial contract offering price? I thought a surprise flop would be good for Cantor. A surprise hit would be bad. -- nm - Dano Mar 1, 16:43 4
        
        I *think* when they pushed the beta live, the prices were based on HSX prices. But the stock doesn't freeze on Friday, so it started dropping on Sat. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 16:48
        
        Around 80, IIRC. I think how good it is for Cantor would depend on how many are holding the stock short, and how many are holding it long. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 16:47 2
        
        Have they done an initial offering auction yet or just started things at hsx prices? - Dano Mar 1, 16:54 1
        
        No, they didn't do an initial auction. It was at the HSX price. - Inigo Mar 1, 17:02

netflix on demand is a better choice than bluray now? - Stewie Mar 1, 13:42 23
- This is the second time you've said that the ability to have any video in existence at your fingertips somehow throws under BluRay. - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:51 18
  - if that was what they were actually offering I might change my opinion - Stewie Mar 1, 13:58 17
    - I have exactly zero blu-ray discs in my house, so you bet your ass that's what they're offering, by comparison. - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:03 11
      - You're focusing too much on Bluray, it's the impossibility that downloads can take a majority this generation that makes this argument a dream -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 14:07 10
        
        but then PS3 has already lost this generation. - Reagen Mar 1, 14:12 7
        
        I think the misunderstanding here is that I agree Bluray doesn't help the 360 at this point - Stewie Mar 1, 14:24 6
        
        You're always hung-up on this "physical format" idea. Well, DVD sales overall (which include BluRay) are sliding. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 15:42
        
        I rent far less because of roku. I mean, I have the one movie at a time plan because I roku so much. so netflix is sort of - the ides of march love mandy lane Mar 1, 14:50 2
        
        For me Neflix DVDs are for new releases, watch now through Xbox is for older stuff and TV shows. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 15:43 1
        
        If they would start having everything available as a download on the release date, *I'd* buy a 360 tomorrow. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 15:46
        
        I haven't sampled Netflix On Demand, because of the region-specificity, but I have sampled XBox Live Video Rentals ... that, at least, is a huge - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:32 1
        
        i agree there, blockbuster is toast for many reasons -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 14:43
        
        What do you see as the post-bluray content ownership platform? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:09 1
        
        i'd bet on another physical format right now - Stewie Mar 1, 14:18
    - as defined by...? -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:02 4
      - market share, a movie is released and more people download it than buy it -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 14:04 3
        
        Netflix isn't offering that... yet. But you're nuts to not see the potential. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:05 2
        
        i see the potential, and the gigantic roadblocks in its way - Stewie Mar 1, 14:11 1
        
        and you don't think the Netflix deal will carry on to whatever console MSFT makes next? -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:13
- Yes. It was one of the factors that made me go with the Xbox over the PS3. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 13:50 1
  - how much did that 360 cost? -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 13:58
- Yes, it's a library of thousands for free for those who have both instead of paying for overpriced movies. -- nm - David Mar 1, 13:45 1
  - Which will continue to grow and improve in picture quality. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 13:48
Crash, could you get authorization for a couple of hours of Halo? - David Mar 1, 13:38 16
- I can do about an hour right now. -- nm - crash davis Mar 1, 13:39 15
  - Great, I'm hopping on. Bery, can you join? -- nm - David Mar 1, 13:40 14
    - No, not today. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:42 13
      - Well, we're playing campaign for an hour if you change your mind. -- nm - David Mar 1, 13:44 12
        
        Is there a way to join you guys at this point? -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:04 4
        
        I don't think so I tried as well, so I tried to finally finish cortana on normal instead of easy - J Mar 1, 14:21 3
        
        I thought I had left it open for friends to join, sorry. - David Mar 1, 14:44 2
        
        Patience huh? So I have no chance of ever finishing it -- nm - J Mar 1, 14:47 1
        
        If it helps, there is a rocket launcher in the Pelican. Turrets are also great as long as you duck behind cover between kills. -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:49

        I have no flipping clue where this missing 0.4 inches is going. - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:50 2
        
        Blame nubby. - ReluctantCynic Mar 1, 14:05 1
        
        If anyone knows anything about 0.4" bosons, it's nubby. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:56
        
        I'd be up for some later tonight if anyone is interested. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 13:44 2
        
        Sounds good. Maybe we could tag our way through campaign on Legendary to get everyone some practice. -- nm - David Mar 1, 13:46 1
        
        sure. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 13:49

is there any reason to expect Cliff Lee to repeat this year? - Guy Mar 1, 13:26 7
- Repeat, no, but he isn't going to fall off the cliff either. - TFox Mar 1, 13:30 4
  - yeah... i like that he kept it up and didnt fall off as the season progressed - Guy Mar 1, 13:33 2
    - The wins were a byproduct of his unreal peripheral stats last year.. - TFox Mar 1, 13:35
    - [deleted]
  - You did that purpose-lee. -- nm - nubby Mar 1, 13:33
- Go back and look at the past few years of 20+-game winners and the seasons they turned in the next year. -- nm - nubby Mar 1, 13:29
