Ike.com - Was Generals score taken out of hte high scores list? I am not seeing it -- nm - Gwaahjo Apr 30, 22:46 2
- Changed to "military" -- nm - TWuG Apr 30, 22:47 1
  - thx -- nm - Gwaahjo Apr 30, 22:49
Gaeta sighting on Smallville! -- nm - David Apr 30, 22:40
David, you might be interested in this tidbit: Wolverine is the #2 trending topic on Twitter, between Swine Flu and #swineflu. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:33 12
- *revises prediction back up after adjusting it down mid-week* -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 22:38 10
  - Lots of chatter about people going to midnight showings -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:40 3
    - I originally suggested 98.5, slid down to 92.9 (DAVE FM) I'm gonna go bigger now which has worked the last two weekends on the top film. - Qale Apr 30, 22:42
    - But be careful with this. A lot of clueless putzes spoil the whole damn film. -- nm - David Apr 30, 22:41 1
      - I wonder if that's become a lexicon term yet: Facebook Spoil or TweetSpoil -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 22:43
  - shades? -- nm - pigby Apr 30, 22:39 5
    - Mason? -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 22:41 4
      - brandon? -- nm - b! Apr 30, 22:42 3
        
        Chief? -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 22:43 2
        
        McCloud! -- nm - Crow T. Robot Apr 30, 22:46 1
        
        Mrs. Beasley? -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 22:50
- I know! One of those tweets is mine! -- nm - David Apr 30, 22:37
Will an upconverting DVD player show any picture improvement on a std def TV? - TFox Apr 30, 22:29 8
- doubtful - the main improvement is from going to p from i, which std def TVs can't handle. -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 22:34
- minimal i'm guessing because your max resolution on standard def is only 480 -- nm - pigby Apr 30, 22:30 6
  - I thought I had heard that upgrading to Blu-Ray had a decent image difference, even not on an HDTV. Thought this might be a similar effect. -- nm - TFox Apr 30, 22:35 3
    - do you see any difference watching the HD football feed on sundays compared to how games used to look? - pigby Apr 30, 22:37 2
      - Yeah, I do kinda notice that though. -- nm - TFox Apr 30, 22:38 1
        
        Although, that is probably due to filming on better cameras. For movies on DVD, that is already a high quality picture source. - TFox Apr 30, 22:41
  - But I was told 480 is superior to 1080. -- nm - TWuG Apr 30, 22:34 1
    - 480 means the pixels are bigger, and everyone knows that bigger is better. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:35
Rainn Wilson gives the new trek movie 3 and 1/2 beets, which is apparently a good rating or something -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:21 5

  - I'm sure if you seach the site, an explanation with turnip. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:25 3
    - an explanation WILL turnip. - loosilu Apr 30, 22:25 2
      - We're going to have to garnish your wages for that slip-up. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:28 1
        
        Good thing I have a high celery. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:28
Maybe I should get her "Chicken Soup for the Grandma's Soul" -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:18 6
- You know what's a terrible book? Chicken Soup for the Chicken's Soul. -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 22:44
- for your mother? are you announcing a pregnancy? -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:20 4
  - my sister just had a baby yesterday -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:21 3
    - you *are* giving something to your sister, I hope. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:22 2
      - two things, one tiny, one not so tiny (my mom is arranging the not-so-tiny thing) ... -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:23 1

- it's not a jillion pixie points like spawnie has, but that's something -- nm - pigby Apr 30, 22:21
- free time + money = Vegas -- nm - peglegpete Apr 30, 22:18
- Sounds win-win. heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:17
- sounds good.... - loosilu Apr 30, 22:16
- Paid leave! It's like they *want* you to get better at Halo. -- nm - David Apr 30, 22:16 1
  - because he has so much free time now! -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:17
- Sounds like what Darcy was going through. Laid off one day, and scheduled the next :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 30, 22:16
ika. query. - b! Apr 30, 22:12 9

  - ::goes to make account:: thanks! -- nm - b! Apr 30, 22:16 2
    - oh, you already have it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:17 1
      - from the alliance description page. :) - -- nm - b! Apr 30, 22:20
- Yeah, I have the same question. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 30, 22:13 3

Bold prediction: Obama actually names a female and/or a minority to replace Souter to sneak a liberal justice past the GOP senators. - Tim Apr 30, 22:12 7
- At the first, it will look like The White Shadow is the choice but they'll go with Admiral Adama in the end. -- nm - David Apr 30, 22:15 5
  - Actually, the psycho chick from Fatal Attraction is just a fake out so they can get The Doctor. - Tim Apr 30, 22:19 4
    - I don't get this one. Was it from the seasons of West Wing I didn't watch? -- nm - David Apr 30, 22:30 3
      - The only good episode from season five. -- nm - Tim Apr 30, 22:36 2
        
        (The first post-Sorkin season.) -- nm - Tim Apr 30, 22:36 1
        
        Yeah, that's definitely my West Wing blindspot. -- nm - David Apr 30, 22:40
- He doesn't need to sneak. He's likely to get his 60 votes with just a small amount of wrangling. - TWuG Apr 30, 22:15
I had a call tonight trying to sell me AT&T uverse. The connection was so bad I could hardly understand what he was saying. Guess he wasn't - MojaveMeg Apr 30, 22:11
"Gift Ideas for the Moms in your life" - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:02 8

      - I actually like getting kitchen gadgets. - Reagen Apr 30, 22:22 1
        
        my brother and his wife have been married twelve years. you should see their kitchen. - loosilu Apr 30, 22:23
    - Yep, I had to do that...then *he* asked for a KitchenAid mixer :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 30, 22:18
- note: Not for an elderly mom. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:08 1
  - Nor a widow. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 22:09
NCIS: this week, meh. However next week looks fun and I will totally miss it. Also missing Lost. Hulu only works in the US, yes? -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:02 15
- thought it was ok. Try Hotspot Shield.... -- (link) - Remlik Apr 30, 22:05 6
  - Does anyone know if this works with MLB.tv? -- nm - David Apr 30, 22:12 2
    - I don't know I literally *just* found out about it. -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 22:13 1
      - then I will let you know if it works in the third world. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:18
  - I'll ask you for that again next week. right now I'll lose it. (my laptop for over there is en route). episode spoils. - loosilu Apr 30, 22:08 2

- I do hope so! Although I am currently watching Hell's Kitchen :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 30, 21:41 7
  - As am I. I just saw that preview for You Think You Can Dance, and I rolled my eyes. -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 21:44 6
    - I guess I just wish some of the identical shows would go away. Hell's is unique. Idol, Dance with Stars, So you think you can dance, - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 21:47 5
      - Yeah, I'll watch any of the cooking shows and Biggest Loser. Never have gotten in to any of the others. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 30, 21:50 3
