All of you are pretty smart. Never install build .0 of anything! Wait till 3.5.1! -- nm - lileve Jun 30, 19:55 6
- Well, kinda, many addons won't work right away and I've already come across a few websites that are confused saying I must use IE or Firefox ... - Qale Jun 30, 20:08
- Technically speaking, 3.5 is already not a build 0.5 ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 20:00 4
  - er, .0 that is. *waits for 3.5.1.0* -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 20:01 3

      - Because with some of the more recent revalations (ARod, Clemons), Bonds is looking better - amoxy Jun 30, 20:02 2
        
        I don't like any of it. However he was on my team. So, I loathe him more. Also he took away some records from non cheaters. - Redmond for sale $1000 Jun 30, 20:06

    - So I hear. I've just finished with Ep 4. I hate to hurt you like this, but part of the problem is Eliza's acting. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 30, 20:02 4
      - Oh my interest has never been rooted in her acting ability. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 20:08 3

- ctrl-f4 or ctrl-w to close tabs -- nm - zork Jun 30, 19:54 5

    - yeah, I don't know where that came from -- nm - zork Jun 30, 19:48

  - they said everyone should stop using it immediately, and the manufacturer subsequently pulled the products with zinc. - b! Jun 30, 20:02
- You must've missed all the ST posts about Zicam having that affect. I really hope it's temporary. -- nm - TWuG Jun 30, 19:36 8
  - according to Rush, it's just a witchhunt against one of his sponsors. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 19:46 3

        How was your first day back? -- nm - TWuG Jun 30, 19:54
- hey? my co-worker said there's a formula of Zicam that doesn't have the zinc which is apparently the culprit - maybe you can exchange? - JenBro Jun 30, 19:35 3
  - well, it was the zinc that apparently had some actual science (note: some) behind it. - b! Jun 30, 19:40 1
    - see - I maintain they help be because I can't get decent fresh fruit - like mangos ;) -- nm - JenBro Jun 30, 19:54

so if his children are just legally adopted, that wouldn't change anything for his will provisions for his children right? or would it? -- nm - JenBro Jun 30, 19:26 12
- I do believe that an adopted child has the same legal standing as a biological one -- nm - granny Jun 30, 19:44 2
  - shut up granny! now cook us some vittles -- nm - jethro Jun 30, 19:46
  - sfan -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 30, 19:44

  - so ... would lacking the biological link mess up his parents in seeking custody I wonder ... if for instance someone contests custody and his will did - JenBro Jun 30, 19:31 4
    - you can't determine custody in a will. only disposition of property. ultimately, the court will rule on whatever situation it determines is in the - dug Jun 30, 19:45 1
      - ~how do you know what my best interest is ... how can you say what MY best interest is~ -- nm - Dano Jun 30, 19:48
    - If they are legally his children, I don't see an issue. If they are not legally his children............... - ty97 Jun 30, 19:32 1
      - undoubtedly it will be a mess - regardless -- nm - JenBro Jun 30, 19:36
  - I think she's talking custody - Reagen Jun 30, 19:31 2
    - I haven't seen any indication that she wants custody. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 19:36
    - yeah - I read or heard that she is not apparently going for custody - it's just such a crazy mixed up thing if you listen to the media. -- nm - JenBro Jun 30, 19:33
when the pixie revolution comes, people who don't make application PDFs fillable are the first up against the wall -- nm - dug Jun 30, 19:25 4

  - i stopped using chrome after about 5 minutes -- nm - zork Jun 30, 19:40
  - Faster than "plain" what? I use Chrome exclusively. IE stopped working on my machine and FF has never been - TWuG Jun 30, 19:39 3
    - IE got really weird on my machine lately, too, but I think it was because I had an automatic download of the new version that needed to be installed. -- nm - mara Jun 30, 20:00
    - i meant faster than regular ie or ff. -- nm - b! Jun 30, 19:56 1
      - Much, much better than IE 7. IE * might be good, but IE doesn't like to load anymore so I stopped using it. -- nm - TWuG Jun 30, 19:58

doggie, the National Enquirer in my experience is more reliable than TMZ. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 19:08 2
- Entertainment Tonight is reporting the same thing. Not sure the source because I turned the channel when MJ's mug showed up. - Redmond for sale $1000 Jun 30, 19:09 1
  - most likely they are citing TMZ. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 19:14
that was an odd board -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 19:07 3
