TT poll -- should I get a mini-fryer for my kitchen? - znufrii Oct 30, 09:27 15

- The Nikkei 225, rather. -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 09:22
I had given up on 24 last year, but the two hour movie "Redemption" looks really good - amoxy Oct 30, 09:17 4
- Powers Boothe does an excellent Craig T. Nelson. -- nm - Mop Oct 30, 09:34
- "How imminent?" "Very." Now there's some clever screenwriting right there. -- nm - Mop Oct 30, 09:30 1
  - "How fatal?" ... *strained look* "Completely fatal." :) Jean Reno is awesome. -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 09:32

  - I don't think it would have fooled them forever, but she might have gotten a little more distance. -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 09:18 1
    - That's what I'm thinking... - Mel Profit Oct 30, 09:20
  - I'm sure that of all the things she feels stupid about, that ain't one of them. - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 09:15
As some of you may be aware, there will be an election for President of the United States in the coming days... -- nm - Mop Oct 30, 09:09 1

Man. I love NetApp and VMware - kilboooo Oct 30, 09:09 5
- Whatcha doin? - Subversive Oct 30, 09:10 4
  - I had a botched software upgrade last night so I used my NetApp disk snapshot from Wed, mounted it live in Vmware while the real disk was running - kilboooo Oct 30, 09:14 3
    - Very cool. I wish we had a budget for that... - Subversive Oct 30, 09:21 2
      - You can do it on the cheap with OpenFiler. I'm pretty sure it supports the same type of snapshotting and then you can just use iSCSI as the protocol - kilboooo Oct 30, 09:23 1
        
        Hmmm, interesting. I'll have to see if I can scrounge up some hardware to deploy a test instance. -- nm - Subversive Oct 30, 09:37

        hey, you're the law-talkin' dude. Or slurring. Or whatever. (Also, there's more than 8 days of Dubya left ... just sayin' ... :)) -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 09:21 1

    - Hey, that's not our fault. Isn't Ted Stevens the jacktard who screwed up online poker? -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 09:18
  - I'm not sure I'd call myself strictly impartial :) -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 09:16 1
    - Hm. And it wouldn't be right to say you don't have a stake in this.... -- nm - con_carnage Oct 30, 09:38
- For MS, you should make it clear that you mean Wicker/Musgrove (since there is are two this year in MS). -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 09:13 1
  - fair enough. It's the only competitive one there, though. -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 09:14

OMG. remember the carjacking discussion yesterday? A guy tried to carjack a woman just a few minutes ahead of me at the onramp to 395. -- (link) - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 09:04 9
- *yawn* -- nm - L.A. Oct 30, 09:12

  - As my father-in-law once told me, cops who pull people over for minor traffic infractions aren't being jerks. They do it... - Mop Oct 30, 09:13
  - seriously, what a maroon. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 09:10
  - He's exactly the sort of carjacker who couldn't GPS his way out of a wet paper bag, even with a flashlight and after sharpening the GPS -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 09:09 2
    - at least he had enough brains to use the airport exit and not the Pentagon ... not that the airport is such a great place either. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 09:15 1
      - ps although, one more exit and he would have left the state. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 09:15

  - I generally agree. I like the idea of electronic voting, but it's been a disaster. People should be going to jail over it, imo. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 09:08
LYC: the helicopters are back. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:59 2

Gary Lunn is now "Secretary of State Responsible for Sport", instead of Minister of Natural Resources. *happyhappyjoyjoy* - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:58 4
- mafic, Environment should be a port that is right in Prentice's wheelhouse as a red Tory. You should like that. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 30, 09:04 3
  - PS: And they didn't give Nunavut a port but Health! (While not as front-line huge as provincial health mins, that's a profile port.) - Name Withheld By Request Oct 30, 09:07
  - but if he brings idea to it like he did with the copyright legislation... -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 09:05 1
    - Well, that's where you needed a lesser government controlling minister. Baird for example. (Clement might not be bad and could tweak it still.... - Name Withheld By Request Oct 30, 09:09

- I hate questions phrased like this. They essentially mandate that they be answered in a complete sentence. - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:59 5
  - "Yes" answers it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 09:07 3
    - I'm a programmer. The "not" inverts the resultant conditional response. So if you say Yes you mean No, and if you say No you mean Yes. -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 09:12 2
      - But it's not likely a programmer would ever need to worry about a marriage proposal. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 09:21 1
        
        Not when so few people in the world understand boolean logic, that's for damn sure. -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 09:23
