  - I'd like to know more. particularly about timeline. I don't imagine 40% of ps3s will fail in the next 12 months, but I imagine failure rate - mafic Aug 17, 06:59
  - But if we can have that many fail, and only 4% say they won't buy another one, isn't that epic win? -- nm - Microsoft Aug 17, 06:49
  - wow -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 06:48
- 5% -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 17, 06:45
- 31.25% -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 06:45
- 9% -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 06:45
- 36% -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 06:43
- 27% -- nm - TWuG Aug 17, 06:43
erph, it feels like the swelling is moving up towards the front of my jaw ... like I have jowls or something. weird. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 06:42 1
- as long as it does not go under your tongue or in the neck, you're good. -- nm - loosilu Aug 17, 06:45

- don't hate the playa, hate the game. - groiny Aug 17, 09:01
- Who??? All I care about right now is whether or not Michael Vick is REALLY sorry or not. -- nm - Jim Aug 17, 06:39 5

    - I'm trying to figure out how the first game could've gone worse. - Jim Aug 17, 06:51 2
      - Isn't that one of those "blessing in disguise" injuries? "Just hurt enough to not get hurt worse in the preseason"? -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 06:54 1

    - ~I say a little prayer for you~ -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 06:50
CityChase Report! (and yes, there is nudity) - Elf Andie Aug 17, 06:26 6
- effing Canadians. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:00
- Wow I am so impressed - yall did really well. - Epiphany Aug 17, 07:04
- nice. next time I'm in canada at an appropriate time, I'll try and remember this. last year I remembered on the day. -- nm - mafic Aug 17, 06:41
- Awesome! Congrats. My day would have come to a screeching halt at "hold a python". - TFox Aug 17, 06:37 1
  - that would have been part of me being naked. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:01
- Sounds like a great fun day. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 06:30
Brad Pitt: Athiest? -- (link) - TWuG Aug 17, 06:12 14
- So what if he is? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 17, 06:44 7
  - Exactly. I just had never heard it said, and I think it's interesting that such a big star shares my view of religion - TWuG Aug 17, 06:47 1
    - I'm sure many many do, but I'd give Pitt points for actually saying he does. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 17, 06:51
  - exactly, who gives a shit? -- nm - loosilu Aug 17, 06:46
  - then it's gratifying to have a public figure validating my (culturally maligned) personal viewpoint -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 06:45 3
    - Spoken like someone who truly cannot make a descision without a celebrity endorsement. - Beryllium Aug 17, 06:48
    - sounds like a personal issue. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 17, 06:46 1
      - equality's got to start somewhere. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 06:47
- can't youtube,what's the quote? -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 06:18 5
  - Paraphrased: "I grew up in a religous family... but it just doesn't make sense to me in the long run." -- nm - TWuG Aug 17, 06:31 3
    - That points more to a dislike of organized religion than necessarily being an atheist. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 17, 06:58 1
      - That's why I put a ? after the word "athiest". He may be a thiest without religous leanings. -- nm - TWuG Aug 17, 07:10
    - ah, cool. -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 06:32
  - ... inside> - Danedukenuuk Aug 17, 06:26
It'll be interesting to see Obama's approval numbers in the next couple weeks. - Don Homer Aug 17, 05:11 3 1
- I'm a bit confused by the news. If he drops the gov't health plan, what reforms are left? I thought the health plan *was* the reform. - Fuzzy Aug 17, 05:37 2
  - there is now some muckity muck about " public co-op" insurance run programs - Epiphany Aug 17, 06:24
  - I think the main things are the pre-existing condition clause and the elimination of yearly and lifetime limits. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 05:43
It's Decision Day for all the major league draft picks who haven't signed yet; ie, Strasburg. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 04:39 17
- One of my current school's recruits was taken in the second round by the Mets. - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 06:00 2
  - The kid from my high school drafted 6th round hasn't even gotten a contract offer from the BoSox. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 06:10
  - (The last drafted recruit they had was Joey Votto.) -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 06:01
- He'll sign. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 04:41 13
  - I think he wants to sign, but his agent won't agree to the $17-20M deal. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:00 12
    - I can only hope he rejects any offer, goes back to school and tears up his elbow. - groiny Aug 17, 09:02
    - Luckily, it's not really up to his agent. Or, it shouldn't be, unless Strasburg is a tiny scared ladychild who can't say "I want my $20M right now." -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 05:37
    - It's a game of chicken. Someone will cave. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 05:17 1
      - I think the Nats already have. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:24
    - The idea that a young baseball player hasn't proven himself yet would be worth that much is rather disgusting. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 05:12
    - Michael Crabtree thinks he is a wuss if he signs -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 05:00 6
      - I wonder what Aaron Crow thinks. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:04 5
        
        From Aaron Crow's negotiating history, Aaron Crow doesn't think. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 05:26 2
        
        Then he should at least have a fallback option as a TNA booker. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:49 1
        
        I cannot believe they let him keep the strap. From a logic standpoint, he's accused of stalking another employee and they somehow reward him? - Will Hunting Aug 17, 05:52
        
        the line of players who held out and renetered is a long and poor one from what I have read. Worst move he could possibly do if he does it -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 05:05 1
        
        It did work out for Hochevar. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:19
Morning all. -- nm - LMS Aug 17, 03:37
heh, someone put an extra zero on the salary in an ad for a job I'm applying for. I wonder if I should make them aware of the typo? -- nm - mafic Aug 16, 23:42
Revealed! Donte Stallworth has a Twitter account! A surprisingly tame, very mild Twitter account. -- (link) - Mop Aug 16, 22:11 2
- It always amuses me when people slam celebrity twitterers for not having some kind of transcendental gravitas in their posts. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 16, 22:41
- "loving cruising miami beach. streets are alive with people!" -- nm - @dontestallworth Aug 16, 22:29
Anyone else notice that Malia Obama has grown about 3 ft in the last month? -- nm - Mop Aug 16, 21:54 1
- Just wait until I expose the cause!!! -- nm - Glenn Beck Aug 16, 22:02
Wow.... I'm beyond words -- (link) - Scorpion Aug 16, 21:42 9
- yeah, they've been doing this for awhile now. *shrug* -- nm - loosilu Aug 17, 06:39
- I already eat one kind of cat that tastes like fish... -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 05:40 1
  - Save the Crotch Kittens!!!!! -- nm - Scorpion Aug 17, 06:33
- What they don't understand is that I hate cats way more than I hate fish. - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 04:22
- Peta just jumped the shar...errrr...sea kitten with really big teeth! (nm) - Stephen Aug 16, 22:38 1
  - they specialize in doing things that make people react. it works. -- nm - loosilu Aug 17, 06:46
- Now I understand "online dating". Just pick something and change it's meaning to fit what you want it to mean. - Redmond Aug 16, 21:45 2
  - more accurately, though, jungle refers to one particular type of rain forest. - znufrii Aug 17, 06:07
  - You wanna go back to the rain forest room with me? -- nm - Mop Aug 16, 21:52
i think i liked last season's premiere better but a solid start to this one for Mad Men -- nm - farmer ted Aug 16, 21:30
(610): i'm in his phone as sushi coochie -- nm - amoxy Aug 16, 21:16 1
- (727): she asked me if I wanted a h--djob on the haunted mansion ride at Disney. was I suposed to say no? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 16, 21:20
any NANOWRIMO's out there on ST tonight? i've been exercising my writing muscles on a short story, and i'm itching to share and get some critique... - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 16, 21:13 1
- It is not November. -- nm - Qale Aug 16, 23:56
Today, my girlfriend updated her Facebook status when I was with her. - amoxy Aug 16, 21:12 2
- She faked her update -- nm - Redmond Aug 16, 21:13 1
  - i told you to watch where you were pouring the maple syrup! -- nm - 'lia Aug 16, 21:15
I was finally approved by iStockPhoto. Yay me! Now we'll see if I can sell anything. :) -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 16, 20:32 1
- "We regret to inform you that your submitted collection, 'Pictures of My Wang', has not been approved for sale and distribution." -- nm - Mop Aug 16, 20:35
So, are we pleased with the District 9 numbers? Predictions on legs? And, more importantly... - Mop Aug 16, 20:32 2
- I posted a prediction of it on movies over at HSX and got snark in reply. :) -- nm - H-Mogul Aug 17, 01:14
- it far exceeded expectations, decent legs, and i don't care if a halo movie ever gets made -- nm - farmer ted Aug 16, 20:33
I have to say that the new HSX looks pretty snazzy. They recovered from that debacle very nicely. I wonder if it was developed internally. -- nm - Mop Aug 16, 20:23 4
- looks snazzy. sucks for trading. i think i'm pretty much done playing -- nm - farmer ted Aug 16, 20:26 3
  - once I got the hang of it, trading became a breeze. -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 04:29 1
    - can you get the trade con firmation back? I miss not being able to double check my trades... -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 05:02
  - The trading is better than it's ever been -- nm - J Aug 17, 03:44
F***. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 16, 20:16 1
- *uck -- nm - lileve Aug 17, 06:45
I think any bachelor party which ends with two 23-year-old girls from Michigan coming bak to the hotel room can rightly be called a success -- nm - znufrii Aug 16, 20:13 3
- depends on which side of Michigan they're from. - 'lia Aug 16, 21:07
- Are you super duper sure they're girls? -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 16, 20:16 1
  - yes. -- nm - znufrii Aug 16, 20:17
OK Redmond, your hotties of the day -- (link) - amoxy Aug 16, 19:58 [Image] 2
- Dark hair -- nm - Epiphany Aug 17, 05:19
- Yep, second from the left. Far left for second place. -- nm - Redmond Aug 16, 20:01
District 9: A-. Possibly a straight A. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 19:57 5
- I agree with Spawn. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 16, 20:04 1
  - I agree with RC -- nm - znufrii Aug 16, 20:06
- what grade does remlik get? -- nm - farmer ted Aug 16, 19:59 2
  - A+ of course. Silly pixie. -- nm - Remlik Aug 16, 20:05 1
    - spawn can speak for himself, mr. helper -- nm - farmer ted Aug 16, 20:07
TNA Championship Kurt Angle vs. Matt Morgan... - Remlik Aug 16, 19:57 2
- Next up Angle vs The Justice of the Peace -- nm - H-Mogul Aug 16, 20:31
- Surprised to see Matt Morgan main eventing. -- nm - Tim Aug 16, 20:02
rival studios are calling Summit's marketing campaign for Bandslam possibly the worst they've ever seen -- (link) - farmer ted Aug 16, 19:57 4
- Summit got lucky landing Twillight. Otherwise, they're still effin Summit!! -- nm - Qale Aug 16, 23:58
- I consistently got the impression it was a High School Musical knock-off. It's not? -- nm - Mop Aug 16, 20:31
- The movie is really good, but it was always going to be a marketing challenge. It's the closest thing I've seen to a John Hughes movie in a long time. - Dano Aug 16, 20:13 1
  - I don't think they were ever going to get the audience who will like it to see it. Sundance premiere and limited rollout might have been my strategy. -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 20:17
Terminator 4 Salvation: C -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 16, 19:55 3
- I take that back, C+ -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 16, 19:56 2
  - I think I gave it a B- - amoxy Aug 16, 20:02 1
    - The "twist" was alright for what it was. Helena Bonham Carter just steals the screen. -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 16, 20:05
Mad Men: A+ -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 16, 19:53 1
- I don't think I'd give it that high a grade - but I think it's a good setup for what's going to be a great season. - kelly Aug 16, 20:03
Mad Men Spoilers - lileve Aug 16, 19:50 2
- Yes. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 16, 19:53 1
  - poop! -- nm - lileve Aug 16, 19:54
"I try to say goodbye and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble" -- (link) - amoxy Aug 16, 19:49 [youtube] 3
- Yeah yeah yeah. Where the hell are the hotties of the day? -- nm - Redmond Aug 16, 19:54 2
  - You don't think Macy Gray as hot? -- nm - amoxy Aug 16, 19:54 1
    - hottieS, plural! -- nm - Redmond Aug 16, 19:55

Redmond... about Vick - Guy Aug 16, 19:29 1
- Exactly why I hope he can keep his urges under control. - Redmond Aug 16, 19:31
Is "well" code for "fat"? If so, harumph! nm - ralph wiggum Aug 16, 19:28 6
- no! you're just "husky" - farmer ted Aug 16, 19:31 5
  - I did eat a lot of pizza and cake on vacation. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 16, 19:34 4
    - Vacation calories don't count - JD Aug 16, 19:40 3
      - Hee, I actually lost weight the 10 days I was away. Not much, but there was all that beer and southwestern food. - MojaveMeg Aug 16, 19:43 2
        
        see mel? beer and tacos! -- nm - farmer ted Aug 16, 19:47 1
        
        everybody likes beer and tacos -- nm - 'lia Aug 16, 21:06
so the lady who plays tess on eureka was on leverage. - tRuMaN Aug 16, 19:27 2
- the blonde? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 19:47 1
  - on leverage, spoilers - tRuMaN Aug 16, 19:54
