    - He is hawt as fire - Epiphany Mar 13, 08:16
I only know Jim Cramer as a cartoon from the Bear Stearns incident and the King Of The Hing episode. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 07:45 40
- He was building up to that for quite a while. Would have been a let down if he didn't let Kramer have it. -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 08:22
- Maybe Cramer *deserves* to be chastened. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 08:19 8
  - Maybe he does, but I would argue that Stewart is the wrong guy to go after him, even if other more appropriate platforms will not. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 08:31 4
    - That's pretty much why Daily Show and Colbert exist. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 08:33 2
      - Except TDS uses the "We're just a comedy show," as their defence against criticism. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 08:38
      - ... and defending them as a comedy show is one of their funnier jokes -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 08:34
    - Couldn't disagree more. Their "hard" news helps put the satire they do in context -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 08:33
  - it must be said...hyde was right. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:26 2
    - I'll make the not-original-at-this-point observation that he had balls to go on the show, but he brought this *all* on himself. - Reagen Mar 13, 08:31 1
      - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:33
- Even Jon said it wasn't right for Cramer to take the blame for the entire financial reporting business. He was just the only one with the balls to - not2fast Mar 13, 07:58 8
  - I'm also sure it will help Cramer's show get some new audience, it was a calculated risk but it could payout in the end if he can get some more - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 08:02
  - And his reward for being the one to answer for that was a pummeling. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 08:01
  - I liked Stewart's point that... - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:00 5
    - I haven't watched any of the interview yet, but I wonder if he mentioned that paradigm being not unique to the financial reporting industry - znufrii Mar 13, 08:10 2
      - I'm sure he said "paradigm" and "endemic", just for you, buddy. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 08:33
      - (a point which Glenn Greenwald makes in his column today.) -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 08:26
    - Yes, that was fair because it was directed broader than Cramer. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 08:02 1
      - which Stewart pointed out. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:03
- Normally they just satirize or make fun of things they disagree with...this clearly, got under his skin however. - Mel Profit Mar 13, 07:56 10
  - I think Stewart was caught off guard when Cramer got all pissy last week over the CNBC skewering -- nm - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 07:59
  - Sounds like when he went after Tucker Carlson (or whatever that dude's name is). -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 07:57 8
    - One of the more brilliant moments in television history, that. -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 08:00
    - Yep. Carlson and Begala. Basically, if it falls to Stewart to break the news then he gets pissed that the news guys dropped the ball. Rightly so. -- nm - TWuG Mar 13, 07:58 6
      - I find it interesting that CNN dropped that show shortly after Stewart's appearance - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 08:04 5

        Not as bad yet...it was the immigration debate that sent him over the edge. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 08:37
        
        I read somewhere that the president of CNN at the time even admitted that Stewart's appearance was one of the nails in the coffin. -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 08:07
- I'd like to see the unedited interview of the Stewart/Cramer thing.... -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 07:55 1
  - NMBL Only because I noticed it today while I was looking for something else -- (link) - con_carne Mar 13, 07:57
- He nailed a hypocrite. That's what they do. Just because it wasn't "ha-ha funny" doesn't mean it didn't succeed. - TWuG Mar 13, 07:48 7
  - Except Stewart has hypocrites and false prophets on his show at least once a week and he certainly doesn't go anywhere close to as hard. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 07:51 6
    - Not as much as the shilling of investments that they know nothing about. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 13, 08:32
    - The normal hypocrites he's had on haven't cost people millions, perhaps, billions, of dollars. And he always points out the hypocrisy. Always. -- nm - TWuG Mar 13, 07:54
    - none of thoose people have been involved in creating the biggest depression in ages i think -- nm - danedukenuuk Mar 13, 07:54
    - Some of it is channeling the populist anger of his audience, some is living up to the hype of the feud that had been played up over the last week. -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 07:53 2
      - but mostly I just think its kept in scale to the opportunity the moment presents. - znufrii Mar 13, 07:56

      - well, maybe I will. - znufrii Mar 13, 07:47 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        In any case, I'd still like to know what's in it. -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 07:59 1

      - bah! -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 07:45
      - Word! -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 07:40
I started playing Killzone 2 yesterday. Some campaign and some online. Fun, fun stuff. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:20 24
- Can you use a Sony TV remote with DVD controls to control the Blu-Ray on the PS3? -- nm - lileve Mar 13, 07:32 11
  - Thanks! -- nm - lileve Mar 13, 07:38
  - Not by itself, the PS3 doesn't have IR, it works by Bluetooth. It is possible to get a USB IR dongle that will work with a universal remote though. -- nm - Ender Mar 13, 07:35 7
    - (Specifically, I got this one and it worked with my existing Harmony 880 universal remote.) -- (link) - Ender Mar 13, 07:41 6
      - Not bad. ~$10 cheaper than the official remote, but you can use your existing one. Must check .ca for something similar. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:45 4
        
        The only drawback is that it doesn't support those color-coded buttons, you'd need to call up the PS3 menu for those. -- nm - Ender Mar 13, 07:53 3
        
        So you end up still having to use the controller. Hmm. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:55 2
        
        No, you can call up the PS3 menu with the remote. - Ender Mar 13, 08:01 1
        
        Ah I see. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 08:04
      - thank you for this :) -- nm - decline Mar 13, 07:43
  - No. The PS3 uses Bluetooth. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:35
  - I don't know about that. But I bought the PS3 remote for $25 and it works great. -- nm - Redmond(first ST Killzone2 night is 03/18 5PM PDT) Mar 13, 07:34
- I have been playing exclusively online. I figure I will learn by just throwing myself in the fire. Glad I am not using a headset. - Redmond(first ST Killzone2 night is 03/18 5PM PDT) Mar 13, 07:27 1
  - Yeah, I'm glad I don't have a headset either. I've managed to get to the second ranking level though. You? -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:36
- That PS3 deal from Sony is tempting. -- nm - lileve Mar 13, 07:20 9
  - What one? -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:22 8
    - Link 4 U -- (link) - lileve Mar 13, 07:24 7
      - Sounds like more of a $200 "credit" on your statement. - JaxSean Mar 13, 07:55 5
        
        It still works out to a $199 credit card bill, after the credit is applied. So you can get an 80GB PS3 for the same as a 360 Arcade unit. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 08:01 4
        
        Looks like I will be owning both soon. -- nm - lileve Mar 13, 08:09 3
        
        What's stopping you? First it was the jasper chips, and those are out now. This PS3 deal is amazing, imo. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 08:12 2
        
        Possible surgery and not health insurance. -- nm - lileve Mar 13, 08:14 1
        
        no, rather. -- nm - lileve Mar 13, 08:14
      - That's a sexy deal. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:25
