  - the price that I'm being quoted ordering online. I'm going to call them and find out if there are any specials I can get. - znufrii Jul 21, 08:56 3
    - Oh wait, I think that intro offer was the triple bundle with phone. - musubi Jul 21, 08:58 2
      - It is, it's supposedly $100 for all three plus tax. Good deal if you want the phone line. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 09:01 1
        
        but only for the first 12 months, and then it goes up to God only knows how much. -- nm - znufrii Jul 21, 09:02
- $1 -- nm - Subversive Jul 21, 08:51
- [deleted]

        best of luck -- nm - Roger More Jul 21, 09:04
        
        I'm going to at least call them up and see if I can get a deal. - znufrii Jul 21, 08:57 4
        
        FIOS is very expensive, you're probably better off sticking with what you have. Calling to try and get a better deal couldn't hurt. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:59 3
        
        And it doesn't look like they even offer it in my 'hood. -- nm - znufrii Jul 21, 09:00 2
        
        They don't seem to offer it anywhere in the 5 boroughs except Manhattan -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 09:02 1
        
        that bites. -- nm - znufrii Jul 21, 09:03

  - An earlier story indicated it was other hotel employees. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 21, 09:07
  - Kobe Bryant -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:53
- Yeah, the lack of criminal process here makes me very skeptical. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:50
- Concierge's fix TV's? Don't they have maintenance folks for that stuff? (nm) - musubi Jul 21, 08:50

- [deleted] 7
  - That's 'cause Mortenson didn't break the story./ -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 08:53
  - maybe the inconsistencies add up and they just won't pile on? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:51 5
    - Because ESPN is the epitome of journalistic restraint. (nm) - musubi Jul 21, 08:53 1
      - Well, they are with regards to certain things. Just not rumor-monging trade stuff and the like. - Callisto Jul 21, 09:03
    - [deleted] 2
      - Yeah, but Kobe's a dick. -- nm - TFox Jul 21, 08:54
      - oh I agree, just guessing, I think you and Jim are closer to the truth (TSN was reporting it on TV at 7am up here) -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:54
In 2007/2008, Aboriginal adults accounted for 22% of admissions to sentenced custody, while representing 3% of the Canadian population....(link) - Walt_Disney Jul 21, 08:46 7
- Alcohol -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 21, 08:49 5

    - in Greenland it is the main underlying reason for most crime -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 21, 09:03

Honestly, I'm super-envious of those of you who responded to the job happiness poll with 1, 2 or even 3. - musubi Jul 21, 08:43 1
- Let me remind you... they pay me to do this! -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 21, 08:43
alright, so I'm going to go against the prevailing wisdom here, and say that the latest potter was brilliant.. (spoilers) - mafic Jul 21, 08:39 29
- i loved it while i watched it, and i plan to see it again, but it DID leave out vast vast amounts of info. (movie spoilers) - Andie Jul 21, 08:47 4
  - spoilers - mafic Jul 21, 08:51
  - I would rather have had the opening scene be as the book had it (spoils) - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:49 2
    - the movies are (spoilers) - Andie Jul 21, 08:51 1
      - Yeah and I'm not a fan of that after Book / Movie 5. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:55
- [deleted]
- I believe that what most people disliked about the film is that it glossed over some of the more heavy elements. - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 21, 08:45 1
  - Those kids bought the books en masse. You don't need to be overtly graphic in showing the themes in the book...but ignoring them...no chancwe. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:47
- [deleted] 1
  - no! - mafic Jul 21, 09:00
- One glaring alteration....just finished the book (spoils) - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:42 10
  - [deleted] 9
    - Yeah, I know that part...but adding scenes annoys me. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:44 8
      - I haven't seen it, but in general the idea of adding scenes doesn't bother me in the slightest. - TFox Jul 21, 08:52 7
        
        I might feel the same if they'd used the source material well in the first place. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:57 6
        
        yeah, but rowling had a fair bit of creative control. if she didn't approve, it wouldn't be there. - mafic Jul 21, 09:06
        
        I'll have to wait and see. I suspect I'm not going to remember enough line by line for it to bug me, but we'll see. -- nm - TFox Jul 21, 08:59 3
        
        I didn't re-read it till after the movie was out so I wasn't line by lining it. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:01 2
        
        except (spoilers i guess) - tRuMaN Jul 21, 09:03
        
        heh. - kelly Jul 21, 09:03
        
        I -- nm - TFox Jul 21, 08:58
- Granted, I've only been paying the slightest attention to TT reviews, but I got the impression that the latest HP was well liked by TT. - musubi Jul 21, 08:41 5
  - I haven't been reading in detail (to avoid spoilers), but my impression was 'not foreboding enough.' which is about the opposite of how I felt. -- nm - mafic Jul 21, 08:46
  - [deleted] 1
    - Hmmm. My lack of interest must've cause me to miss a lot of those C's. - musubi Jul 21, 08:46
  - I think it missed by a wide margin the theme of the book, much less the execution of it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:42
  - I'm not so sure. David liked it, for example -- nm - Roger More Jul 21, 08:42
- it was really really pretty.. (spoiler) - colinski Jul 21, 08:41 1
  - honestly, I felt about the same as your IM as when I read it in the book. (spoilers) - mafic Jul 21, 08:44
Or I could walk in the rain to the new burger place that serves a half pound burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches. - TFox Jul 21, 08:38 19
- nice. I am also intrigued by the Buffalo Calimari -- nm - zork Jul 21, 08:59
- *intrigued* -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:42
- no problem if the walk is 5 miles or so -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 21, 08:41
- My arteries clogged just by reading this post. (nm) - musubi Jul 21, 08:40
- haha, you're kidding. Right? -- nm - kelly Jul 21, 08:39 5
  - Absolutely not. -- (link) - TFox Jul 21, 08:41 4
    - oh my lord. - kelly Jul 21, 08:47 1
      - (I've also heard very good things about Rick's Roadhouse, another one of their restaurants...) -- nm - kelly Jul 21, 08:48
    - Good lord the image on the very first page of the web site is totally disgusting -- nm - Guigue Jul 21, 08:43 1
      - [deleted]
- That sounds like some drunk food -- nm - con_carne Jul 21, 08:39
- ugh. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:39 2
  - Maybe you would prefer the Frankenstein? - TFox Jul 21, 08:41 1
    - Lord no. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:49
- WANT!!! -- nm - znufrii Jul 21, 08:39
- your arteries say no. -- nm - loosilu Jul 21, 08:38 3
  - But there's "yes, yes!' in his veins. -- nm - mara Jul 21, 09:00
  - Not too mention the massive heartburn he will get -- nm - eag Jul 21, 08:41
  - but his love handles say yes. -- nm - mafic Jul 21, 08:40
re: height. It's weird to remember this but I was always one of the tallest kids in the class, until 12 or 13. Now I'm a shorty. -- nm - loosilu Jul 21, 08:37 5
- I was always the littlest, and stopped growing altogether at 12. -- nm - Callisto Jul 21, 08:51
- I always think of you as around 5'6 or 5'7. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 21, 08:43 1
  - I'm 5'5" but people often think I'm the height you said. -- nm - loosilu Jul 21, 08:46
- by 12 i was 5' 8", i only grew another inch or so in the following years - 'lia Jul 21, 08:41 1
  - *intrigued* -- nm - zork Jul 21, 08:55
New Excel thing I learned today: when making a copy of a sheet in Excel, if a cell contains more than 255 characters, it only copies the first 255. - TFox Jul 21, 08:36 1
- I knew. (from trying to build a text management template) -- nm - loosilu Jul 21, 08:37
[deleted] 1
- I'm shocked, shocked I say, to hear that "judicial activism" isn't a thoughtful critique. (nm) - musubi Jul 21, 08:38
Cool...they updated the points for our bar league....1 win got me enough points to go from 189th to 42nd in 2009 - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:36
Golf weekend is finished. I think I've decided that I need new irons as mine are nearly 20 years old. Recommendations? - Subversive Jul 21, 08:35 11
- Recommendation: quite the sport, it only causes pain, grief, misery and an empty wallet. - musubi Jul 21, 08:37 2
  - You must be the only person I know who doesn't hit that one great shot a round to keep ya coming back. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:37 1
    - That one good shot is what causes the empty wallet. (nm) - musubi Jul 21, 08:39
- I like the Adams Golf irons I got 2 years ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:36 7
  - What kind of scores do you shoot? Also, you're a pretty big hitter, right? - Subversive Jul 21, 08:45 6
    - My berymander right now is a "time sensitive report" revealing how to get a fail-proof golf swing. Heh. - Subversive Jul 21, 08:51 1
      - Clearly, before you get new clubs, you should know how to use them -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:51
    - I'm in the mid 90's. I can't putt. The irons get the ball in the air, they're well-weighted. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:45 3
      - These look nice. -- (link) - Subversive Jul 21, 08:53 2
        
        Best advice, hit a golf depot store that'll let you hit balls .... then go shopping for what you like. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:59 1
        
        Yeah, this is a good idea. -- nm - Subversive Jul 21, 09:07
roll it -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 08:35 2
- *shaves it* -- nm - colinski Jul 21, 08:35 1
