Poll - have you changed your passwords because of Heartbleed? - Andie Apr 10, 07:53 15
- My opinion on most of this stuff is anyone that was going to do evil before is still going to do evil. - volnelk Apr 10, 08:35
- Ugh. Did not realize google was in this. Just changed one of the accounts. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 10, 08:04
- There is a little "booga booga" factor to this. In some area the risk is fairly high and in others there is little or none depending on how sites are - Capstern Apr 10, 08:04 2
  - kilbo below and i above posted articles listing the sites at risk. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 08:05 1
    - I understand. Was just saying risk factor varies and unless you know - Capstern Apr 10, 08:24
- No, have to come up with a new system. Passwords stress me the F out. -- nm - mara Apr 10, 08:04
- A couple of them. -- nm - Reagen Apr 10, 08:01

- Not yet. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 10, 07:58 1
  - I'm really worried about my ST password -- nm - decline Apr 10, 08:00
- Yahoo. -- nm - kelly Apr 10, 07:56
- Yup, just did based on kilbo's link below. (FB and Google.) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 10, 07:55
- First I heard of it, will change tonight -- nm - amoxy Apr 10, 07:54
Former Terp and NFL Player Shawn Merriman has signed with the WWE, and is already training. -- nm - MDH Apr 10, 07:51 1
- Did he sign as a rassler? I thought I heard he signed as a training coach-ish position. -- nm - Jim Apr 10, 08:00
Why didn't I know about this? You're all a huge disappointment. -- (link) - colin Apr 10, 07:50
I'm in San Francisco at the end of this month. There aren't any STers there, are there? {nm} - Banzai! Apr 10, 07:46 1
- no, we used to have a former ex fed driver, trans gendered stay see but then got engaged with madonna - zeitgeist Apr 10, 09:53
[deleted] 12

  - [deleted] 8
    - Fine, you can blow him after practice. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:55 3
      - ML will now be grading everyone on a T-Rich/Hamilton scale, it would seem. -- nm - Jim Apr 10, 08:00 1
        
        [deleted]
      - he would have to catch him first. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:56

  - heh -- nm - Jim Apr 10, 07:47
- This highlight video of his whole day sums things up pretty well. -- (link) - volnelk Apr 10, 07:41
Hey Groiny - tRuMaN doth do thinkith Apr 10, 07:26 16
- yes, it is everything good about Call of Duty, melded with Halo. - groiny Apr 10, 07:28 15
  - Bastard! Would have liked to play longer, but knew I would never sleep. Now that I have played, am going to run through the trainer again. - Spawn Lord Apr 10, 07:41 6
    - the speed burst for the Titans seems to be a critical piece to use. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:43 5
      - Yup. And the nuclear eject is rather handy. Think I killed two titans and a pilot that took mine out with it. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 10, 07:45 4
        
        wait til level 11 when you can customize your Titan. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:46 3

        spinners would be cool. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:51
  - Target has a buy 2 get one free this week mix-n-match games. I'm thinking of getting Titanfall, Assassin's Creed 4, and trying to think what other. - JaxSean Apr 10, 07:40 6
    - Tomb Raider! -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:45 1
      - I already have that on the PS3. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 10, 07:57
    - while it is a good deal, I do not think I could come up with another game to buy. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:43 3
      - In other words, it is actually a bad deal. - Spawn Lord Apr 10, 07:44 2
        
        if you consider the price of new releases, it is a great deal, but I don't game enough to buy 3 at once. - groiny Apr 10, 07:45 1
        
        Well, remember I am OCD. I play one game for four months. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 10, 07:45
  - K -- nm - tRuMaN doth do thinkith Apr 10, 07:31
This Call of Duty game would be pretty awesome. -- (link) - Shaun Apr 10, 07:22 [Image] 3
- it would be better than Ghosts for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:23 2
  - Not a fan of Ghosts? -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:25 1
    - It was ok at first, but I ended up going back to Black Ops 2. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:26
I need a nap. -- nm - tRuMaN doth do thinkith Apr 10, 07:18

- I've heard discussion that it has essentially evolved to a debate where it could be considered as "performance enhancing". -- nm - volnelk Apr 10, 07:05 9
  - I think it's silly to consider a procedure which requires an injury first as PE. - Mel Profit Apr 10, 07:26 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - the issue with TJ, is that the person's ligaments end up stronger post op. - groiny Apr 10, 07:30 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        well, it would be silly for a young player to do it before they get paid. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:33
  - [deleted] 3
    - I've heard that discussion too. - Reagen Apr 10, 07:15 2
      - I agree that it's a little silly, but as tech improves, where do you draw the line? - volnelk Apr 10, 07:21 1
        
        Pistorius running in the Olympics jumps immediately to mind - Beaker Apr 10, 07:24
do we think heigl is right to sue? -- nm - Vibia Kincardine Apr 10, 07:03 15
- Probably - though I do wonder who would change pharmacies because Heigl shops there -- nm - Roger More Apr 10, 07:59
- There's a pretty good body of case law on this issue and I think she has a good case. The dollar amount may be high, but what does she get paid for - pmb Apr 10, 07:49
- sure, but not for 6 million dollars. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:26 2
  - Plus she is a huge c-word so it's hard to feel any sympathy for her. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:47 1
    - well, yeah, but truthfully, it does not matter in this case. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 07:49
- Yes, they used her image for marketing without her permission. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Ding Apr 10, 07:24
- If they had just used the photo (or retweeted it), they would've been ok. But the wording they added was definitely ad like -- nm - Flavorize Apr 10, 07:18
- I'm on the fence. In a public area you don't have any real right to not be photographed, but the fact that she gets paid to endorse certain things - Reagen Apr 10, 07:08 4
  - But she's not suing the paparazzi for photo'ing her. She's suing for the marketing usage of her image. -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 07:09 3
    - so if ben bratt is photod drinking a heineken and heineken tweets the photo saying "look who loves heineken," bratt should sue? - Vibia Kincardine Apr 10, 07:32 2
      - If it's used without his permission and he wants to sue, yes. Celebs should have sued Up if they didn't give permission and wanted to sue as well. - mara Apr 10, 07:42
      - for all you know jawbone got permission and/or compensated those celebs (and yes she's a raging bitch but she's justified in doing this) - decline Apr 10, 07:42
- yes, they used her image without her permission for marketing purposes -- nm - decline Apr 10, 07:06 2
  - yeah. -- nm - Andie Apr 10, 07:24

This is awesome...so I started watching/writing my Survivor recap late last night. Was VERY tired, so I only made it through the Reward challenge... - Jim Apr 10, 06:18 4
- Added to this: I'm watching the episode on CBS.com now, so I can get this recap done. At every break is a Microsoft commercial...I'm ready to choke - Jim Apr 10, 06:49
- Then they would have thought about it a second time and decided they didn't want to write it. -- nm - spamlet Apr 10, 06:38
