  - I wanted to like Southland more... the story was rather uneven, and some of the acting was bad (though I guess part of that was intentional). Maybe I - Don Homer Mar 9, 05:35 2
    - Yeah, I doubt a Director's Cut will ever be made. It would take some cash, and there's no reason to dump any more into that particular hole. -- nm - nubby Mar 9, 05:41 1

        You take this nerd stuff way too seriously - ty97 Mar 8, 23:51 1

  - Or Martin even. -- nm - jnine Mar 9, 00:19
- He married Lady Gwyneth, named a couple of babies after fruit, then she sucked out his soul. -- nm - Trish Mar 8, 22:47
I think Malin Ackermann's boobs were the best part of Watchmen. -- nm - mafic Mar 8, 22:11 14
- certainly better than her acting. -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 05:59 1
  - of course putting a rock in the role would've been an improvement in that regard as well. -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 06:01

My Tivo HD keeps reporting the wrong cable system so all my channels are screwed up and nothing's recording. First: FUCK! Second: HELP! -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 22:02 10
- You just have to reset your tivo. It's no big deal, we've done it. -- nm - Trish Mar 8, 22:39 1
  - I've checked. Tribune has screwed up and is showing the wrong grid. It's trickling down to Tivo and anyone else who uses their service. -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 23:31
- You can change your cable provider settings on your Tivo. - ty97 Mar 8, 22:14 4
  - I tell it I'm using "cable system A" and it gives me the channels for "cable system B". I think it's a Tivo thing, not a cable company thing. -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 22:17 3
    - OK. I got to a screen where it said "channels for cable system A are..." and it was clearly wrong. It's a Tivo problem. F-U, Tivo! -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 22:24 2
      - Are there different lineups for digital and __________ cable? - psilotum Mar 8, 22:25 1

- is your cable company sending the bad programming giude? did you call their tech people? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 8, 22:11 2
  - The grid data comes from Tivo, no? -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 22:13 1
    - I have a dvr with my cable company, so do not know how your set up is. that was my first thought -- nm - peglegpete Mar 8, 22:13

So this college has no accreditation, one of the buildings was auctioned off, the water was threatened to be shut off a second time, - Qale Mar 8, 21:54 17
- It's a really awesome OutKast song? -- nm - nubby Mar 9, 04:08
- Why would someone want to attend a non-accreditation college. Wouldn't your degree be pretty much worthless? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 8, 22:12 2
  - That's why the enrollment has dropped from 2500 to 160 -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 22:21
  - That's what I was thinking too. What about all of those kids in Clayton County, GA schools with no accreditation. - Qale Mar 8, 22:15
- Seems a bit unfair that it lost its accrediation because of the embezzlement by the school president. - ty97 Mar 8, 22:01 5

      - That right there is a lost cause then. -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 22:06 1
        
        I tend to concur, unless a knight in shining armor comes along with 30 million. -- nm - ty97 Mar 8, 22:06
- $30 mil debt for a school 160 students? Shut 'er down! -- nm - Mop Mar 8, 21:59 1
  - It's a legacy thing, obviously. I'm sorry but if something's not working right going forward, history doesn't really help much. -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 22:00
- probably cause lil' baby jesus wants you to -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 8, 21:58 4
