I should have known it wasn't possible not to know this, but: only just now did I learn that Olivia Wilde was Marissa Cooper in The OC - prayformojo Mar 13, 08:40 8
- I'm watching those now with my wife and what blew me away once I saw Olivia Wilde on the show is that she is actually younger than basically everyone. -- nm - volnelk Mar 13, 08:45
- yeah, never mind this. boy, did i read that wrong -- nm - prayformojo Mar 13, 08:44 1
  - You were close. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:44
- She was Marissa Cooper's girlfriend. -- nm - David Mar 13, 08:44
- ? - I thought that was Mischa Barton. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 08:42 2
  - nmbD - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:42 1
    - further - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:43
- Is your lack of IM a visual of your cluelessness? -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:41
CTTP: According to a FERC study, how many of the 55,000 electric-transmission substations in the US would have to be taken out to cause a US blackout? -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 08:39 7
- 9 -- nm - decline Mar 13, 08:44 1
  - *ding* 9. 9 substations. -- (link) - spamlet Mar 13, 08:47
- 1 -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:40 2
  - You're both wrong. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 08:44 1

Good Lord I need to watch Deadwood again. Keith Carradine was Wild Bill? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:27 27
- For people that have seen it and would like to reflect, that piece I linked earlier is worth the time. -- (link) - volnelk Mar 13, 08:35 [vimeo] 1
  - Watching it now. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:36

  - grab Rome. trust me. -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:37 16
    - Season 1 of Rome was amazing. I hated how they had to rush season 2. Carnivale was WAY underappreciated too. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 08:37 11
      - I know they couldn't do it because of the budget and had to rush the story but... - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:39 10
        
        HBO credits the budgeting mistakes they made with 'Rome' for teaching them how to do 'Game of Thrones'. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 08:40 2
        
        interesting. I hadn't known that. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:42 1
        
        Yeah. I'd love to see a full several season arc of Rome done the right way, -- nm - volnelk Mar 13, 08:46
        
        Oh yeah. And Purefoy was fantastic. Hate that his next TV foray was The Following -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 08:39 6
        
        agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:42
        
        He and Kevin made season 1 worth watching. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:40 3
        
        and Pullo. The whole cast was fantastic -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:45 2
        
        loved the Octavains -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 08:48
        
        oh and Polly Walker..... - Remlik Mar 13, 08:45
        
        watching him and Ceaser in John Carter was awesome. -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:40
    - is that HBO too? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 08:37 3
      - yes. -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:39
      - With much more T & A. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:38
      - yep. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 08:37
  - Dude. -- nm - David Mar 13, 08:30 1
    - I told you, only in the last year or so have I gotten into these shows on TV - groiny Mar 13, 08:35
  - Dude...you're going to LOVE the Deadwood. The language takes a minute to get used to...so don't give up on it. - Jim Mar 13, 08:29 2
    - It's definitely Shakespearean, especially after S1. Especially Swearingen -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:36 1
      - Swengen, Wu...cocksucka -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 08:36

My answer for something crunchy to put on a meatball sandwich turned out to be: - prayformojo Mar 13, 08:23 4
- homemade giardinara? - groiny Mar 13, 08:29 2
  - that'd work, too -- nm - prayformojo Mar 13, 08:31 1
    - the batch I just made, I could just take a fork to it and eat it by itself. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 08:32
- Sounds awesome, and I can appreciate how cool that visual would be. Maybe add some sriracha to add some additional kick and contrasting color -- nm - Flavorize Mar 13, 08:25
The Veronica Mars digital download will be available tomorrow. If (GOD PLEASE) it's a UV code, consult with your sharing circle before adding it. - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:22 3
- but if you leave the group and someone else uses a code then you won't get to keep it right? -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:24 1
  - You can't leave the group. What do you think this is? The CIA? - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:28
- Got to AMC and watch it on the big screen people! -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 08:24
Five months is how long it takes to move to the pranking stage of living together I see. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 08:19

- On pono? -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 13, 08:18 16
  - I'm sure it will be released for that as well. -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:23
  - Zoso player! -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 08:20 1
    - ^that's brilliant. -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:23
  - You mean FLAC? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:19 12
    - Now you're just making things up. -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 13, 08:22
    - Worlds apart. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:20 10
      - Except that's the format Pono uses. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:21 9
        
        Mop's right. Looking at the project NOW compared to what Young was talking about THEN...it's just a flaac player, granted it's a nice one... - Remlik Mar 13, 08:23 8
        
        Whoa. Like how that is being kept quiet. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:26 7
        
        there are some people calling it out...but I don't think it's really hit that it's not a new format (which I was hoping for).... - Remlik Mar 13, 08:36
        
        I know. I'm not pleased. I am REALLY not pleased. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:29 5
        
        Sorry for the doubt on that one. I had followed it over the years and when it started happening figured it was what he had campaigned for. - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:33 4
        
        I don't know if it's a 'sell out' so much as a reality of creating of a new music file format... - Remlik Mar 13, 08:38 2
        
        It kind of is. The whole reason he was pushing for it was that the other options were inferior. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 13, 08:42 1
        
        I can see what you're saying. He certainly compromised. -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:45
        
        He's sold the sheep on an ugly ass $400 FLAC player. What is this, 2008? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:38

What is the desktop maker of choice these days? My home one is dying and need a replacement - amoxy Mar 13, 08:09 6
- Even after everything is said and done, it's still Dell. Do as Kilbo and get an all-in-one. They're giant tablets. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 08:33
- Consumer Reports (Dec. 2013) top 3 desktops are Dell, Asus, and HP. (I can email the PDF to you.) -- nm - mara Mar 13, 08:23 1
  - Oh, that's the "all in one" list. "Full-sized" are Dell and Acer. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 08:25
- If you aren't afraid of building it yourself, you can get a lot more bang for the buck buying parts and assembling the PC yourself. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 08:20
- I have 3 Dell all-in-ones at home. My personal machine is a 5 or 6 year old HP media center PC I play games on - oblique Mar 13, 08:15

- Definitely not starsky and hutch or get smart. -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 13, 08:12 2
  - Get Smart was OK, I thought. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 08:13 1
    - Starsky and hutch wasn't awful either, just not top 10. -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 13, 08:17
- If those are the best...it might be a good idea for Hollywood to stop making TV shows into movies. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 08:11 8
  - I agree…sorta of a lazy list, probably written by someone in their 30's -- nm - Flavorize Mar 13, 08:27 1
    - OTOH I can't think of another TV show remake that I would switch in there. The 10 worst movie remakes of TV shows would be more competitive -- nm - Roger More Mar 13, 08:59

  - all of those that I've seen have been solid to excellent (provided I'm allowed to pick with Star Trek and which M:I) -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 08:13 4
    - "You know six movies average out to be really good?" -- nm - Roger More Mar 13, 08:56
    - See that's it...Star Trek the movie was not good. And I didn't care for M:I. They got better, but the first ones kinda sucked. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 08:15 1
      - ST:TMP made the mistake of trying to be actual Sci Fi. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 08:42

It took 5 days to find the wreckage of Air France flight 447. It took almost 2 years to recover the black boxes. MH370 has been missing for 5 days. - TWuG Mar 13, 07:46 16

        yup, just watch Castaway when Hanks figures out the size of the area they are searching for him in and how wrong they likely are -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 08:15
        
        Comparison from the paper here: "if the search area were a football stadium, the plane would be a 5 cent piece. -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 13, 08:01 2
