New Orleans fired their starting punter and starting placekicker tonight. I don't think I've ever seen that before. -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 22:26
wow, I miss a day and all hell breaks loose. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 22:17 8
- I kept thinking "where's loosie" when we really need her. -- nm - BAD Oct 28, 22:23
- It's been a rough month. - Qale Oct 28, 22:21 4
  - But it won't nix Halloween, no matter what they do! -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:25
  - and now that TT is coming back sounds lke no one wants to go there -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:24 2
    - I don't blame people for that. We already had its funeral. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 22:25 1
      - it is true we have more freedom now :) -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:30
- This is what makes ST successful. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:20 1
  - Long Live ST :) -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:21
So Woot has an useful item, from a good brand, at a good price, and it's less than 3 years old. -- (link) - celedhrymandias Oct 28, 22:07
DWTS just showed a clip of the Olympic runner on the track with his shoes off and it looked like someone sprayed a fire extinguisher on them? WTF? -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:06
I know why HSX is going back to classic. - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:04 12
- It's simple really. A downward spiral of traffic meets poorly implimented web 2.0 style. Downward spiral becomes severe nosedive. - Qale Oct 28, 22:14 4
  - don't forget an avalanche of complaints. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 22:18
  - In Obama's words "V2 rode shotgun while Classic drove toward a cliff and now V2 wants to take the wheel and step on the gas" -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:15 2
    - That's pretty much exactly it, except I don't think HSX has an Obama possibility. - Qale Oct 28, 22:18 1
      - They should make a trading Facebook app if they want to attract more players. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 28, 22:22
- unfortunately alot of people have already quit if people hold their word quitting, there is still going to be some damage. -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:07 6
  - I liquidated my other two ports and I'll do the same to the banned one if I can get back in to classic. The game has lost its attraction and, quite - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:11 5
    - what did you do to get banned? -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:20 4
      - I said "shit" and clicked Submit 20 times in the Comment section of a Topic in the Misc Forum. - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:23 3
        
        Yeah.... I think you're stretching a bit there making the analogy that comments = IMs. -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 22:26 1
        
        Not really, that was my thinking, not having posted on a Forum format before. It certainly wasn't my intent to blast SHIT in the Subject line of TT. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 22:27
        
        ahhhhh -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:25
Apparently, we're giving away the Complete Newsradio DVD collection. -- (link) - Mop Oct 28, 22:02 5
- Your entry, #143990, has been accepted. - psilotum Oct 28, 22:05
- done! much better than BOP!! -- nm - pigby Oct 28, 22:04 3
  - You know, we haven't run a contest in a while. I'll have to look into that. -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 22:05 2
    - cars are nice. and diamonds. -- nm - pigby Oct 28, 22:16 1
      - So, Cars and Diamonds Are Forever DVD giveaways. Got it. -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 22:23
It's not who you know, it's who you powned. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 22:01 2
- *pwns Qale* -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 22:09 1
  - *chu* HSX Minute peoples are all on YouTube. Since they love Web 2.0 so much, I hope they enjoy their 1 star ratings! -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 22:10
i got a rock -- nm - pigby Oct 28, 21:54 4
- pours half the bowl of candy into Pixies sack - 'lia Oct 28, 21:58 1
  - Sun Maid raisins?! - pigby Oct 28, 22:01
- *boards up the windows* -- nm - HSX Oct 28, 21:57
- i got paper -- nm - psilotum Oct 28, 21:55
We're five episodes in on NCIS but I went ahead and watched the new season's premiere tonight. (spoilers...hi Mel!) - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 21:48 1
- yep, great scene. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 21:50
So, I had 3 more vials of blood taken today. That's *14* in calendar 2008. - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 21:36 15
- dude, I keep trying to give my blood away and they won't take it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 22:18 1
  - It is a big step in a relationship. -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 22:25
- One for Angelina, one for Billy Bob, and one for yourself? -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 28, 21:57
- I see a plot idea for pixie's next screenplay. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 21:42 1
  - "Blood Simple Jack" -- nm - pigby Oct 28, 21:44
- You're still 18 gallons behind Trish. -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 21:39 1
  - We're both going as zombies for Halloween...no costume required. -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 21:43
- heh. Unrelated but when I clicked on your post I got an ad for "David Cook" -- nm - kilbooo Oct 28, 21:38 1
  - I got David Archuleta :) -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:41
- You have a curious hobby. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:38
- This would make a great horror movie. -- nm - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:38
- Just think: Your own private Halo army -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:37 3
  - even George Lucas laughs at the idea of this - pigby Oct 28, 21:38 2
    - Actually, that's the way Halo works. - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 21:44 1
      - "Re-Spawn"? - pigby Oct 28, 21:45
heh, no takers for an abstinence contest..... -- (link) - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:33 3
- wait you have to be an engaged couple? that's crap -- nm - pigby Oct 28, 21:35 2
  - Yeah - you'd win hands down. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 21:43 1
    - after i killed dano -- nm - pigby Oct 28, 21:44
I'm confused by how this side by side will work - ty97 Oct 28, 21:32 30
- I assume we're accessing the same port... but with different interfaces. No? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:40 15
  - Yeah, it's like Slacker Talk... and the losers on Slicker Talk -- nm - secretslacker Oct 29, 04:13
  - Sounds like no, not even close. Beta won't count, I guess, at all -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 21:45
  - I wouldn't expect such. Not if Beta HSX has any schmoozing or such left in it. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 21:41 12
    - So at some point down the road, we've got a Sophie's Choice to make between the Classic Port and the Beta Port? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:42 11
      - I don't think that we will be given a choice. - 'lia Oct 28, 21:49 3
        
        interesting -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 22:05
        
        heh, well if that was the case, V2 just pulled the bottom out of the cage and everything fell out. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 28, 21:58
        
        Neopets traffic is on a downward spiral as well. - Qale Oct 28, 21:57
      - I think the decision has already been made they are restting classic ports with no mention of beta ports, so is safe to assume those will mean more. -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:49
      - The way it reads to me is that the Beta Port won't count and is only being used for testing. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 21:48 5
        
        It's not gonna work. - Mop Oct 28, 21:52 4
        
        We don't want a workable V2. We want V2 to die. This is one step closer to that reality in my opinion. -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 21:55 3
        
        They're going to switch back to V2 eventually, regardless. Which is why I'm staying right here. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 22:03 2
        
        Depending on how severely altered, V2 may not be the same creature at that time. - Qale Oct 28, 22:16 1
        
        Frankly, most of the issues I had with v2 had been fixed this week ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 22:29
- It's not going to "work". They're only doing it to regain income while they figure out what to do with V2. They're going to do any side-by-side - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:35 4
  - sb "NOT going to any side by side....." -- nm - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:36 3
    - they said they were setting things back to what they were before the switch, I assume this includes port values besides stock values. They called it - Stacy Oct 28, 21:39 2
      - ah, then they're admitting complete and utter failure without apologizing. -- nm - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:40 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:41
- They should. - psilotum Oct 28, 21:33
- Just like the closed beta only open -- nm - kilbooo Oct 28, 21:33 6
  - which port will 'count' when the official (re-)cutover happens? -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 21:34 5
    - Classic. With my suggestion, the "cutover" would be the final dump. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:34
    - My gut would say classic would be imported into beta when it goes out of beta -- nm - kilbooo Oct 28, 21:34 3
      - I think they need to make that VERY clear - ty97 Oct 28, 21:39 1
        
        If they make it explicitly clear, then no one will play Beta. God, they're screwing up the "fix"! - Mop Oct 28, 21:48
      - agreed -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:36
- If it was me (and I demand my fee for even suggesting this) I'd treat it like the Intersect, with occasional dumps from Classic to Beta -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:33
I don't know if I should laugh or be really pissed at having spent all evening since 5 doing my bonds only to find out any trades made in beta will .. - zeitgeist Oct 28, 21:15 18
- Spent a long time myself this evening. It's a pain. -- nm - pmb Oct 28, 21:35
- I'd be pissed too -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:31
- I dumped 173 bonds this Sunday, took me all afternoon. But well, I lost 20M since the new thing came over so I can't complain. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 28, 21:21
- here is 1 trade you have to do. it's not much, but a sure thing. CBS just cancelled EXLIST. it is $2-3 over the 4 episodes that have played -- nm - peglegpete Oct 28, 21:18 2
  - btw, I mailed the catalog to my client yesterday and informed him of my benefit if he sells or buys anything. - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:21 1
    - cool -- nm - peglegpete Oct 28, 21:23
- Who the fuck pulls the plug on a system without running them side by side to make sure everything is in synch to begin with. Bunch of retards imo. -- nm - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 21:17 8
  - Too many "should've done" moments in the new HSX. It just makes no sense. Who were these consultants? - Mop Oct 28, 21:26 4
    - If they really want to do us all a favor, they should post who they hired so we can avoid them like pixie -- nm - kilbooo Oct 28, 21:31 3
      - I wonder if those assclowns from the HSX Minute have been let go? -- nm - Qale Oct 28, 21:49 2
        
        I've got some bad news... Remember how we weren't paying you anything but for 30 minutes every week you got to be indoors and be warm? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:55 1
        
        Guess it's back to sucking cock on the Producer's couch. -- nm - Lisa Lee S.I. Oct 28, 21:58
  - [deleted]
  - People who took a course in systems analysis and design and only paid attention to a few of the deployment methods in the book - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:18 1
    - /~ Don't go chasing waterfalls... ~/ -- nm - kilbooo Oct 28, 21:30
- I've done barely anything on the new site except some minor complaining and some attempts to help people with it. - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:17
- Weel, take comfort in that once it switches, you probably never owned the bonds in the first place. -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 21:17 1
  - I've been checking the account history, most all went through -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 21:19
Question: When HSX Classic comes back, should I reactivate Dr Tron's parsing script? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:13 4
- Nope. TT won't be TT on HSX classic. Don't bother. -- nm - kilbooo Oct 28, 21:30
- sure, does it cost anything? besides your time? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 21:15 1
  - well, there's a bit of a bandwidth impact, but since classic will be operational for a few months at least, I can minimize that by only running it - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:16
- its gonna be alot of new people ifmisc board now is any indication -- nm - Stacy Oct 28, 21:15
Hitchens is the guy that hyde refers to so fondly as a "\Whiskey-soaked -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 21:08 8
- He's a nincompoop, too. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 21:27
- That would explain why his elitist defence of the liberal elite was so dripping with elitism, for sure. - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:10
- Trotskyite". - Reagen Oct 28, 21:08 5
  - McCain first lost me back in 1991 when Hitchens gutted him on the old Crossfire show -- nm - pigby Oct 28, 21:11 2
    - Yet even on his worst day, Jon Stewart can still hand Hitchens his ass. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:23 1
      - he was pretty good that night -- (link) - pigby Oct 28, 21:26
  - Okay, why? -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 28, 21:10 1
    - His Wikipedia entry is all over the place. Hitchens is so conflicted, it's hard to believe he's only one person. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:11
Since I was busy driving 450 miles over 16 hours today, could someone please summarize the HSX brouhaha? Or link me to the same? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 21:07 7
- top of board 2 link to D.Macs (movienews? guy must be him) statement that they will run beta and classic - zeitgeist Oct 28, 21:12 1
  - Excellent. Thanks. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 21:37
- How is Miss Daisy? -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 21:09 1
  - She's a demanding bitch. - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 21:25
- HSX Classic will be a revert. HSX Beta will continue on along side. - Qale Oct 28, 21:09 2
  - I'm sticking with ST. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 28, 21:29
  - ST will remain operational for quite some time. No worries there. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:12
so HSX = the French right? -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 28, 21:03 1
- No, worse. - Beryllium Oct 28, 21:04
