I finally have zeroed in on what theT-600s in T4 remind me off -- (link) - HdnAgnda May 28, 13:23
Can someone find me a web site with video that asks you your connection speed? Like "Choose your bitrate" or something? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 28, 13:22 1
- I think the apple trailers page might do that? -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 13:25

Torrents are so 2001. NZB's are where it's at. nm - Dignan May 28, 13:09 3
- Wait, it's a Usenet thing? 1994 just called. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 13:11 1
  - Well, it's a user-friendly way to access usenet binaries. nm - Dignan May 28, 13:16
- Enough about your exotic sexual diseases. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 13:10
LYC: How did one of the kids from Degrassi: The Next Generation become this highly touted new rapper - MDH May 28, 13:03 15
- Which one? -- nm - con_carne May 28, 13:03 14
  - Jimmy on the show, real name Aubrey Graham but raps as "Drake" - MDH May 28, 13:05 13
    - can you define "highly touted"? -- nm - TFox May 28, 13:20 12
      - The first line of the article says it all, literally, trust me I didn't believe the title until reading it all -- (link) - MDH May 28, 13:22 9
        
        "Lil Wayne protege" is all I need to see. Thanks. -- nm - TFox May 28, 13:23 8
        
        Ooh, what's this guy's name? Maybe Will's brother can keep this name on file for the next one. -- nm - kelly May 28, 13:24 5
        
        I feel like I heard this strory, but can't remember? -- nm - MDH May 28, 13:29
        
        (As much as I understand the criticism of the naming methodology, I have extreme jealousy of Lil Wayne.) - TFox May 28, 13:27 1
        
        Well, they did decide against Wayne for the middle name. - kelly May 28, 13:28
        
        Drake wouldn't be a bad name -- nm - Dano May 28, 13:25 1
        
        Gotta love The Drake. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 13:27
        
        I didn't say I liked him, his songs are terrible, but it still astounds me he came from that show -- nm - MDH May 28, 13:24 1
        
        I'm not a huge fan of "Best I Ever Had", but I know it. -- nm - TFox May 28, 13:24
      - "not dating" Rihanna. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 13:22 1

I don't get the 80's movie reference (the new wave musical number) at the end of last week's Family Guy. What movie's it from? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 28, 12:56
LYV: There is this really hot brunette in my office but she has one of those squeeky kid voices...... - Walt_Disney May 28, 12:55 7
- Like this? -- (link) - Reagen May 28, 12:59 [youtube] 3
  - Not quite as squeeky...but close...and I feel bad because I am judging her on this and should be judging her on her other abilities - Walt_Disney May 28, 13:07 2
    - "She's got huge....tracts of land." (nm) - musubi May 28, 13:09
    - PICS??? -- nm - con_carne May 28, 13:07
- It also matters how she carries herself, IMO. I have seen plenty of strong, formidable women in the business world that happened to have such a voice -- nm - con_carne May 28, 12:58 1
  - Very true.,...and she confident and articulate....and shes knowledgable about her concept. I just hope everyone else see's all of her abilities. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 28, 13:08
- *conflicted* -- nm - Capstern s.i. May 28, 12:56
And there it is. Star Trek is at $194,828,380, passing Monsters vs. Aliens' $193,972,168. -- nm - David May 28, 12:50 19
- Isn't the more surprising number there Monsters Vs. Aliens at $193 million? -- nm - Elvis May 28, 13:19 1
  - I was literally just about to post this. Yes. -- nm - TFox May 28, 13:20
- I don't think I coulda been any more wrong about that movie. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 12:51 16
  - long beautiful legs. I know I talk this movie up to anyone and everyone who will listen - Epiphany May 28, 12:58 9
    - did you pick up Star Trek Countdown the trade? -- nm - Remlik May 28, 13:11 2
      - Hmmm not yet. -- nm - Epiphany May 28, 13:23
      - highly highly recommend for those who loved the movie. -- nm - TFox May 28, 13:21
    - ditto...and I think Ironman is more last year's Star Trek at this point. - Mel Profit May 28, 13:02 5
      - In HSX terms, IRNMN had a delist multiplier of 2.6. TRK11 will have one of about 2.7 -- nm - Roger More May 28, 13:15
      - It hasn't even hit IMAX here - I'm seeing it again when it finally drops. -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 13:06 2

      - And Star Trek is the new black -- nm - con_carne May 28, 13:03
  - "small victory" -- nm - kelly May 28, 12:55
  - The opening is about what I had expected. The legs are unimaginable for a sci-fi franchise title like this. -- nm - David May 28, 12:53 1
    - Agreed. I can't believe it's still going so strong. -- nm - MDH May 28, 13:03
  - me to. I was optimistic at thinking it'd top at 140. I'm glad I was wrong. -- nm - Remlik May 28, 12:51 2
    - I knew it would do $180 - 190... I didn't think it would make more than both WOLVE and TERM4... that's surprising -- nm - secretslacker May 28, 13:19
    - I'm pretty sure I said something like 63/145 for the open/total. - Will Hunting May 28, 12:53
JackDawson, idle question - con_carne May 28, 12:46 11
- I took 4 years spanish in HS and a sem in college *wink* -- nm - Hotkiss May 28, 13:03 1

  - I swear, it automatically doubles any woman's hotness for me. There, I've revealed one of my weaknesses. :) -- nm - con_carne May 28, 12:55
  - well "spanish" has a certain meaning here and thats all i can say -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 28, 12:51 6
    - I bet it means "a language spoken primarily in the countries of Spain and Mexico". -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 12:52 5
      - Try most of the Western Hemisphere, pal :) -- nm - con_carne May 28, 12:53
      - i can mean that but it can also mean - Danedukenuuk May 28, 12:53 2

      - *kicks dirt* -- nm - Uruguay May 28, 12:53
Looking for a daycare for my daughter. The Presbyterian church's center is "non-doctrinal". What does that mean to you? - Mop (236 lbs) May 28, 12:44 12
- It's only for the stupid kids who won't group up to be Doctors. -- nm - Ender May 28, 13:22
- 2 out of 3 aint-- oh, wait. -- nm - Max May 28, 13:06
- They make generic references to Jesus and God and stuff. -- nm - mara May 28, 13:03
- It's just a daycare, not a presbyterian training camp. (nm) - musubi May 28, 12:47 1
  - That's how they get you! -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 28, 12:49
- yes it will and she'll be happier - Danedukenuuk May 28, 12:46
- No churchy stuff. - Reagen May 28, 12:45 4
  - No, then they'd say "secular." There's generic churchy stuff. -- nm - mara May 28, 13:04
  - She's outgrown the Methodist place down the street. I'll be glad to be done with all the pot smoking. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 28, 12:46 2
    - *laughing* -- nm - con_carne May 28, 13:12
    - You're a weird dude. (nm) - musubi May 28, 12:47

I've decided that "Kindternet" is much too elaborate a joke for ST. I withdraw it. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 28, 12:41
Daniel Cabrera to the Marlins maybe per roto. -- nm - Mel Profit May 28, 12:40
So we know Dawson isn't really gay, now we doubt that he's actually Mexican. Next you're going to tell me that he's not drunk. -- nm - Dano May 28, 12:40 14
- [deleted] 8
  - you understand that your 'lawyer-ness' is now suspect. -- nm - Andie May 28, 12:55 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - You make a good point. -- nm - mara May 28, 13:05
      - so my real suspicions are true? - Danedukenuuk May 28, 13:05
      - In our defense, the drunkeness seemed to indicate lawyerness. - musubi May 28, 12:59
  - "Non-drunk" (nm) - musubi May 28, 12:54
  - i don't know about that what i do now is - Danedukenuuk May 28, 12:47
  - No. - Roger More May 28, 12:44
- He's really a a 67-year-old female Polish prostitute -- nm - ty97 May 28, 12:41 1
  - one-legged -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 12:50

  - [deleted]
- it would kill if he was a middle aged, cultured Korean lady. -- nm - Mel Profit May 28, 12:41
Huh, I didn't realize you could have Lvl 1 Barracks/Shipyards and still keep higher level forces there. - Will Hunting May 28, 12:37 26
- i have two high level barracks so blocking one town is no good - Danedukenuuk May 28, 12:44
- you can house then but not produce them. - Mel Profit May 28, 12:40 15
  - I'm a little grumbly I moved my newest colony next to Augustus. - JaxSean May 28, 12:44 2
    - Tru, Mungo and I are all nearby. (nm) - musubi May 28, 12:48
    - I'm trying to put him on vacation... - Mel Profit May 28, 12:45
  - Only time that'd matter is if I'm under direct attack, right? - Will Hunting May 28, 12:41 11
    - depends where the block you - Danedukenuuk May 28, 12:43
    - pretty much... - Mel Profit May 28, 12:42 9
      - My colonies are at most 3 hours away from each other. - Will Hunting May 28, 12:43 8
        
        if you're cool with keeping to your corner of Delta it sounds like this is the way to go. - Mel Profit May 28, 12:44 7
        
        psst. - Will Hunting May 28, 12:44 6
        
        *snork* right... -- nm - Mel Profit May 28, 12:45 5
        
        Fine ...to the east. - Will Hunting May 28, 12:48 4
        
        I know. It's perfect cool. - Mel Profit May 28, 12:50 3
        
        I put one in last night, only to be beaten to my main target and have my auxillary targets wake up. - Reagen May 28, 12:53 2
        
        the other day I had more farms than I'd ever seen. - Mel Profit May 28, 12:58 1
        
        I've been periodically raiding a grouping of cities ~3 hours away from me. They seem to be pointless shell cities, just farming materials. - musubi May 28, 13:02
- Yep. Wish I had known that earlier. I spent a LOT on getting my barracks up. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 12:39
- That's what I'm planning on doing now, yes. -- nm - JaxSean May 28, 12:38 7
  - I'm a tard. I've got like 50 levels of barracks when I only need 15. - Will Hunting May 28, 12:39 6
    - As diggie points out, if you're already build them, they're not worthless. - musubi May 28, 13:08
    - Remember, higher levels also cut back on production time. nm - Dignan May 28, 13:03
    - I'm still somewhat of a noob, but I wouldn't feel right being unable to recruit all military units in all of my towns -- nm - con_carne May 28, 12:41 3
      - I level up all my barracks up to 7, so they can produce archers in a pinch, but all the big guns I create in my capital. It has an Ares wonder. (nm) - musubi May 28, 12:51 2
        
        OK, that sounds like something to do, thx -- nm - con_carne May 28, 12:52 1
        
        If you're short on mat'l, I'd just level up to be able to produce phalanx. - musubi May 28, 12:57
I wish I could find boy dog collars that were half as cute as the girl dog collars. - kelly May 28, 12:35 14
- oh, and nmb Will - kelly May 28, 12:39 2
  - Sounds good. Is he actually doing that less though? - Will Hunting May 28, 12:40 1
    - I think so. - kelly May 28, 12:43
- Just get Will a black leather one with metal studs. It'll really increase his standing in the community. -- nm - JaxSean May 28, 12:39 3
  - It'll go well with the assless leather chaps she got me for Easter. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 12:40 2
    - (spoiler) - JaxSean May 28, 12:40 1
      - Great minds think alike. - Will Hunting May 28, 12:42
- My lil' dude had the cutest little blue collar with bones on it. - Callisto May 28, 12:38 3
  - I found a company I like, that offers collars with the brass buckles for the same price as the safety clip ones. - kelly May 28, 12:42 2
    - I so read this as brass knuckles and was like, "WTF are we doing to Murphy?" -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 12:43 1
      - "HE WILL LISTEN TO MEEE!" -- nm - kelly May 28, 12:45
- Will won't wear pink? -- nm - Dano May 28, 12:38
- You're not looking in the right part of town -- nm - con_carne May 28, 12:36
- My dog rocks walmart collars. -- nm - lileve May 28, 12:36
For Neil Gaiman fans AND Michael Emerson fans: -- (link) - TWuG May 28, 12:35
Will: Del Potro is a very talented 20-year-old Argentinian who caught fire last summer. - Dano May 28, 12:27 1
- Huh....i'm usually pretty good at the names of random sports people, that one came outta nowhere. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 12:30
LIR: IMO, DDN should at least watch until the Will Ferrel cameo - con_carne May 28, 12:26
You know, it's funny, but the folks talking smack never made any suggestions, so they can bite me. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 12:26
Nubby, LendingTree is basically a broker, but they're ok. - JaxSean May 28, 12:24
looks like Trek will be the first 200 million movie this year after the weekend. Is that right? -- nm - Remlik May 28, 12:22 4
- Yes, but it should become the #1 film of the year when Wednesday numbers come in. -- nm - David May 28, 12:25
- Yup... MVSA won't make it... I'm thinking UP will be the second. -- nm - secretslacker May 28, 12:24 1
  - It would if it wasn't losing its 3D screens this weekend. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 12:30
- Unless Monsters vs Aliens makes another $6.2 million this weekend -- nm - Roger More May 28, 12:23
Of course ML speaks Spanish. Or to be more accurate "Hablamos Espanol!" -- nm - Reagen May 28, 12:21 5
- [deleted]
- Si tu estas en un accidente vehicular, llamenos! -- nm - ML on Spanish TV May 28, 12:25 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - *shrug* Could be a good move for them. :) -- nm - con_carne May 28, 12:35
- "no, money down!" -- nm - mafic May 28, 12:22
