Heh. A friend from grad school is having an election party next Tuesday that he's calling... - nubby Oct 27, 11:59 3

I bet Maya Rudolph is thinking "I didn't get a song when I had a baby." -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 11:56 2

  - That trumps what I saw on SNL. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 12:00

- I think we're all burdened with these coupons. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 11:57
- Yes, pls -- nm - con_carne Oct 27, 11:57 3
  - Perhaps email is better. Here - con_carne Oct 27, 11:59 2

ST Poll: If McCain wins the election do you think there will be riots of any level? -- nm - JCVDano Oct 27, 11:52 18
- Nah. It's not like either of them will have won some sort of championship. -- nm - Jim Oct 27, 12:06 1
  - maybe there should be a trophy. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 12:06
- Not unless there are specific charges of election fraud in local areas. -- nm - Max Oct 27, 12:01 1
  - So... yes? When hasn't there been charges of election fraud? If Ohio goes Republican, I see urban areas going up in flames, even if Obama wins. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 12:03
- if there isn't, then i give up on the USA. - Die Incognito Oct 27, 11:59 4

AC/DC releases latest music video in Excel spreadsheet format. -- (link) - Ender Oct 27, 11:48 14
- that's pretty cool -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 27, 12:04
- From what I've gathered, you can just do it yourself. It's not actually done "in excel" but used VLC's "ascii output" filter to make an ASCII stream - kilboooo Oct 27, 11:54 2
  - i figured it was something like that. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 11:55 1
    - It's still "cool" how they do it (extracting the source file, loading it in, playing it in the cell) - kilboooo Oct 27, 12:00
- What a clever waste of time. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 11:51
- not an actual ac/dc video, a fan of them did that. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 11:50 3
  - (Though that is the official Columbia Records AC/DC site.) -- nm - Ender Oct 27, 11:55 2
    - hmm, well the write up that I read this morning is that it was a sony/bmg guy that made the video - tRuMaN Oct 27, 11:57 1
      - *harumph* -- nm - steve114 si Oct 27, 12:02
- Wow. Not a link to The Onion. -- nm - nubby Oct 27, 11:49 4

    - RC brings tears to your eyes? -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 11:54
    - :) -- nm - nubby Oct 27, 11:52
    - And this goes under nubby's post below. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 11:51

TTIS: work dilema... - colin Oct 27, 11:41 10
- Just a market note for you . . . - pmb Oct 27, 11:48 3
  - sheesh, don't i know it. most of my work is "what can we lose, and still function?" tasks.. - colin Oct 27, 11:51 2
    - my suggestion would be to get a copy of the job description for the job you were hired for - tRuMaN Oct 27, 11:53 1
      - ok, i asked the HR person who interviewed me if she had it still... that's a good start. -- nm - colin Oct 27, 12:06
- Don't piss off your boss by going straight to the CIO. Your boss may be receptive (even welcoming) to your proposal. - Mop Oct 27, 11:47 2
  - it's actually my boss's boss that's having me do all the work, sit in on meetings, etc.. my boss has been cut out of the loop for the most part. -- nm - colin Oct 27, 11:52 1
    - all the *more* reason to go to him directly - get him back in the loop and up to speed on your time commitments. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 27, 12:11
- always start with your direct boss. show what you got hired to do and then present an actual job description. - Danger Girl Oct 27, 11:43 2
  - so, write up a description of what my new responsibilities could/should be? - colin Oct 27, 11:44 1
    - I really like the approach that the author of Ask The Headhunter takes. - psilotum Oct 27, 11:51

- Saw HSM3 -- nm - JCVDano Oct 27, 11:54
- I cleaned out my storage. Wee. No more storage fees! :-) Oh, and I saw Hellraiser and was blown away -- nm - con_carne Oct 27, 11:52
- Took some friends to a Haunted House...one guy hadn't been to one since the 80's...he was unprepared for how they've changed -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 27, 11:48
- I got a massage at the Aveda salon (birthday gift from my sweetie). it was awshum. -- nm - Diva Oct 27, 11:45 1

  - Did she perform a concert, too? -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 11:43 3
    - Hee! -- nm - con_carne Oct 27, 11:54
    - they aren't concerts they are theatrical entertainment shows -- nm - Stacy Oct 27, 11:49
    - YSMM, dammit. -- nm - nubby Oct 27, 11:44

- best thing I did was read 'Nation' by Terry Pratchett -- nm - znufrii Oct 27, 11:41
that kid's death at a gun show has nothing to do with purchase laws.. that's irresponsible gun ownership. - colin Oct 27, 11:38 31
- The way it's described, if his father hadn't been supporting him, he may have just fallen over and fired into the ceiling. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 11:44
- Unfortunately you can't make irresponsible attitudes illegal, so with a goal to reduce gun deaths and maimings, have strict European style gun control - Loyola Oct 27, 11:44 16
  - That's all well and good... UNTIL THE ZOMBIES ATTACK!!! -- nm - Ender Oct 27, 11:49 1
    - ha :) -- nm - Loyola Oct 27, 11:51
  - European Socialist! -- nm - Guigue Oct 27, 11:47

    - End reasoning: it would be refreshing (my POV) to have someone "left-ist" up against the opposite-ended-spectrum of the NRA. - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:48 3
      - so, more piecemeal regulation instead of the comprehensive approach that would actually be effective? - znufrii Oct 27, 11:55 1
        
        Your IM is the issue, of course. *shrug* I don't know the answer. If I did, I'd run for presidentin'. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:57

    - I've never understood the current of fear that's in America. -- nm - Loyola Oct 27, 11:47 7
      - i'm not afraid, i'm just being sensible. -- nm - colin Oct 27, 11:52
      - [deleted]
      - We fear terrorists, people impeding on our constitutional rights, and death. - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:51 4
        
        I would remove the right to own a gun from the constitution. It's ridiculous. You don't need to have in it the right to own a microwave or a tv, same - Loyola Oct 27, 11:58 3
        
        you obviously have not been to my cracked out part of town... - colin Oct 27, 12:04 1
        
        So do you carry a gun when you walk the streets? No (I think/hope) - Loyola Oct 27, 12:08
        
        [deleted]
- I agree, it's not a good example of purchase law problems. - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:41 1
  - It really wasn't meant as a good example. But it does point out some serious issues with gun shows in general. - TWuG Oct 27, 11:44
- irresponsible LEGAL gun ownership -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 27, 11:40 2
  - ....and? there are irresponsible drivers who kill peope on the road, but there's no talk of banning cars. -- nm - colin Oct 27, 11:44 1
    - But drivers are required to be licensed. Not every state licenses gun ownership -- nm - TWuG Oct 27, 11:50
- Isn't gun control a form of government enforced gun ownership responsibility? -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 11:40 7
  - no, it's controling who gets guns... i firmly believe there should be mandatory gun training for anybody buying a firearm. - colin Oct 27, 11:43 6
    - You and I are mostly in agreement. Mandatory hecks and training. But not one-time training. - TWuG Oct 27, 11:49 1
      - and all guns should be traceable to their owners, distributors and manufacturers. -- nm - znufrii Oct 27, 11:53
    - The NRA would oppose such requirements -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 27, 11:44 3
      - that's why i'm not in the NRA. they do not speak for me. -- nm - colin Oct 27, 11:47 2
        
        If you are a gun owner, to the rest of the world, they do. - Elvis Oct 27, 11:54 1
        
        i'm trying. just don't have any major celebs speaking on my behalf yet ;) -- nm - colin Oct 27, 11:56
Who wants a french fry? Oh, I'm so happy now. drenched in ketchup fries! -- nm - CQ Oct 27, 11:37
Treason def from Dictionary.com - in light of the b2 discussion, #1 confuses me... what are considered "its sovereign". - CrankYanker Oct 27, 11:37 12
- killing Bush wouldn't "overthrow the government", for example, since the apparatus of the state would fill in the gaps - Reagen Oct 27, 11:42 4
  - [deleted] 2
    - I don't honestly know who it would apply to here - Reagen Oct 27, 11:47 1
      - [deleted]
  - Thanks, this makes sense. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 27, 11:43
- King or queen, I believe. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:39
- presumably they mean the leader or whatever type: King, President, Dictator, Great MuMu -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 11:38 5
  - [deleted]
  - I'm not sure a president would be considered a sovereign as he is not considered synonymous with the state itself, but instead only a part of the - znufrii Oct 27, 11:40 3
    - [deleted] 1
      - true, but he was asking after a generic definition, not the constitutinoal one -- nm - znufrii Oct 27, 11:47
    - but I could very well be making a distinctino without a difference here. -- nm - znufrii Oct 27, 11:41
