Would you guys like there to be Slackerfieds available on the site? (SlackerTalk Classified Ads - wanted, for sale, announcements, that sort of thing) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 08:46 4
- Hmm. Do you mean like this? - Spawn Jul 8, 08:52
- for just sters? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 8, 08:48 1
  - well, yeah. Unless I whip out something slick with the interface, and non-STers beg to use it, then I'd throw it on a separate domain. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 08:49

    - I caught like 30 seconds flipping through. It was horrible even from taht. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 08:47
Resume help, s'il vous plait: say you got promoted within the last year, and many responsibilities stayed basically the same. - TFox Jul 8, 08:34 2
- same things but worded differently -- nm - zork Jul 8, 08:42

argh! got a red light camera ticket when a car cut me off (went straight in a turn only lane). - Guy Jul 8, 08:33 18
- How much was the ticket? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:41 3
  - $272! I'm pleading not guilty though -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 08:43 2
    - Yikes, that's a lot. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:48
    - that's worth contesting. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 08:43
- Devil's advocate: how did unexpectedly stopping cause you to run a red light? -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 08:38 10
  - You just like to debate. -- nm - Spawn Jul 8, 08:44 1
    - and/or i'm a little off today from staying up til 2 am doing performance management feedback. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 08:47
  - probably making a left turn, expecting the car coming toward him to do the same, other car goes straight instead, he has to slam on the brakes -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:40 5
    - no, this was two lanes going the same direction. to my left is a turn only, my lane was turn or go straight. - Guy Jul 8, 08:44 4
      - oh, okay, that makes sense too... -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:46
      - blew by me going straight, i mean. -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 08:45 2
        
        blew me by going straight, i mean. -- nm - what znufrii read Jul 8, 08:47 1
        
        so disappointingly slavish to old world ideals of sexual identity. -- nm - znufrii si Jul 8, 08:49
  - Probably had to slow down in the middle of the intersection. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:39 1
    - Ah, duh. Got it now. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 08:40
- Usually, it is actually a video recording. So you can go down to the court (or somewhere) and ask to see the video. There should be some note on the - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 8, 08:35 2
  - the letter i recieved stated that there are two photos and the citation shows thumbnails of both - Guy Jul 8, 08:42 1
    - is there no website listed on the letter? ours have a website that links to very good pictures and a video of the light running. - Jim Jul 8, 08:46
Sam Jackson was on Conan last night and Conan mentioned he had the record for the highest grossing actor of all time. Without IMDb, list some movies. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:33 29
- Coming to America. -- nm - Shaun Jul 8, 08:46
- FWIW - BOM has a list, and Jackson is #9 -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 08:41 2
  - Ah, but this does not include the first 2 SW prequels of Jurassic Park - counts them as cameos -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 08:42
  - Conan mentioned it was Guinness (not always the most reliable source, sadly). -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:42
- Amos & Andrew! (imdb surprise: Patriot Games?) -- nm - Max Jul 8, 08:38 3
  - Goodfellas is another one. He played Stax (the truck driver from the Luftansa heist who is the first to get whacked) -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 08:43 1
    - right you are -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 08:45
  - yep..he was Robbie! -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 08:41
- Jurassic Park, Patriot Games -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 08:38
- Kill Bill, SoaP -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:36
- Formula 51, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Unbreakable, The Negotiator -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 08:35 4
  - Man, I thought I knew every obscure cameo in True Romance, but Sam Jackson? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:40 3
    - It ... surprises you ... that Sam Jackson was in a Tarantino film? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 08:41 2
      - wrote, not directed -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:42 1
        
        Well, I suppose that's an important point; he'd be far less likely to have creative control as a director. But maybe it was the beginning of them? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 08:43
- Star Wars prequels, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard 3 off the top of my head for big grossers -- nm - Jim Jul 8, 08:35 1
  - Those were my immediate choices. The prequels totally skewed the charts for a bunch of actors. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:36
- I thought Eddie Murphy held this title? -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 08:34 4
  - Jeff Goldblum would if he did more movies. -- nm - Spawn Jul 8, 08:45
  - I don't know about that, but if you filter it down to leading roles or live-action it's definitely not Jackson. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:35 2
    - Murphy's very high on the list, with the BHC series, Coming to America, teh Doolittles, the Nutty Profs, then Shreks. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 08:36 1
      - I don't doubt he's high. Also Harrison Ford has to be high up. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:36
- The main thing is Star Wars prequels, plus they probably are including voice work like The INcredibles. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:34
- Star Wars 1-3.....Jurassic Park. I think that's his top 4. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 08:34 1
  - Oh, there it is. I thought we'd forgotten Jurassic Park. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:37
- Amadeus - con_carne Jul 8, 08:34 3
  - That starred SLJ, dork! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:35 2
    - Jungle Fever! -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:37 1
      - Coming to America -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:37
McDonald's may do to the gas station what they did to the video store. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:29 14
- not sure if it's a photoshop disaster but Ronald's hand doesn't look natural there -- nm - zork Jul 8, 08:47 1
  - well, I think engadget may have made the pic themselves ... so it can be forgiven for being a rush job :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 08:48
- Redbox sucks balls, though -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:42 4
  - *strongly disagree* -- nm - Max Jul 8, 08:46
  - So does McDonald's, so it's a natural fit. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:42 2
    - *glove slap* - TFox Jul 8, 08:46 1
      - "yummy" /= "good" -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:49
- I also suspect they'll figure out a way to sell the grease to the home gas makers -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 08:40 1
  - don't they already? -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:41
- Unfortunately, the gas costs you a dollar a day until you pump an equivilant amount back into the gas pump. -- nm - Ender Jul 8, 08:34
- On Sunday we went to our favorite McDonalds (indoor playplace) and found it closed. On Monday we found the building had been leveled. - Spawn Jul 8, 08:33 1
  - Yeah. It's weird how they tear them down and rebuild them over night like that. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:34
- better yet, figure out a way to charge cars in the drive thru, without them needing to plug in... -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:32 1
  - No joke, I think whoever is running McD's right now is genius. They're expanding into entirely different - and profitable - areas. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:34
When I see that ad, I get a temporary "Evony and Ibory" earworm. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 8, 08:27
st poll: Would movie theatre seats that move, vibrate, rumble, etc with the movie be something that would intrigue or dissuade you from the theatre? -- (link) - tRuMaN Jul 8, 08:26 14
- They've done this in theme parks for years. It's fun for a 15 min movie, but I can't picture it for a feature film. -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:31 1
  - My understanding of D-Box is that it only activates for scenes where its needed. The majority of the movie it feels like a normal chair. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 08:32
- This is what theme parks are for. Make my theater seats comfortable enough that I don't think about sitting in them. -- nm - Max Jul 8, 08:30 1
  - However, floor speakers to enhance chirping crickets in a field etc. might be cool. -- nm - Max Jul 8, 08:31
- For the right movie, I'm in -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 08:30
- "Spin Cycle: The Movie" -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 08:29
- Unless it's one of those fully immersive type things like in amusement parks (where the whole car/seats move) it'd dissuade. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 08:29 1
  - D-Box is basically this. It needs to be synced to the individual film. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 08:30
- dissuade, big time. - colinski Jul 8, 08:28
- Dissuade -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 08:28
- dissuade. I want a sound system I can deal with. - loosilu Jul 8, 08:27
- For the right movie, absolutely intrigue. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 08:27
- Matinee! -- (link) - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:27
- dissuade. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:26
From B2, Re: Invincible. Invincible sold over 8 million copies. By Michael's standards...that's bad. - Jim Jul 8, 08:24 5
- wait, bad meaning good, or bad meaning... -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 08:26 3
  - "That's bad... Michael Jackson bad!" -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:27 2
    - YOU AIN'T BAD! YOU AIN'T NUTTIN'! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:30
    - "And to shake one's booty means to wiggle one's butt. Allow me to demonstrate." -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 08:28

Box office prediction results - Dawn of the Douglass! - oblique Jul 8, 08:19 2

Forbes calculates the price of purchasing all 55,732 available iPhone apps to be $144,326.06 -- (link) - tRuMaN Jul 8, 08:18 3
- Yes, but how many iPhones would you need to hold them all? -- nm - colinski Jul 8, 08:21 1
  - I bet david has enough of them in his home. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 8, 08:24
- Yes, but is there an app for that? -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:19
lyc: no one in Cali that I work with is cooperating this week - 'lia Jul 8, 08:17 5
- I'll be a bitch for you, if you'll get yelled at this afternoon. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 08:18 2
  - goon squads have been notified, flying monkeys are on standby - 'lia Jul 8, 08:45
  - ~I'm a sinner, I'm a saint~ -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:30
- Just ignore them. The state willdescend into madness and ruin before then anyway. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:18 1
  - madness and ruin is already a way of life there - 'lia Jul 8, 08:41
Damn!!!!!!!!!! Just opened my checking account and there's $350 in pending debit card charges that aren't miine. - MojaveMeg Jul 8, 08:15
LYC: Picking the top four out of 200 resumes turned out to be fairly easy. Picking the fifth is impossible. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 08:14 2
- #63 -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:15 1
  - heh, I should have numbered them. Oh well, I think I have my fifth. Number one was the easiest. - loosilu Jul 8, 08:26

  - That's good. - Will Hunting Jul 8, 08:19 4
    - I think an argument could be made. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 8, 09:02
    - Word. -- nm - Jim Jul 8, 08:25
    - Right. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:23
    - agreed -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 08:21
