TTIS: If you plug a thumb drive into a computer to show a PPT presentation, but copy nothing onto the thumb, can you get a computer virus? -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 11:24 7
- I'd think yes--it would work the same way all those infected digital photo frames did last year. -- nm - Trish Nov 7, 11:34
- seems so -- (link) - M Nov 7, 11:27
- Theoretically, yes, if a virus on the host computer searches all drives and copies files to that drive. -- nm - psilotum Nov 7, 11:27
- Theoretically, a virus/worm has access as you upload but it's a remote possibility. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:26 1
  - thanks. curious because there's a virus that's being blamed on that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 11:27
- Is it possible? I would guess so. If the virus is set up to infect anything the computer is attached to. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 11:26
- ... a virus on the thumb, that is. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 11:25
There are too many other games I already have to play right now, but I'm surprised I haven't seen Gears of War 2 discussed here at all. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 7, 11:23

Deevs... - Mel Profit Nov 7, 11:12 21
- Did Mel just set up a threesome? -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 11:16 2
  - No, but it's funny. I have this cute Cambodian lady physical therapist who gets up on the table on top of me and really works on my knee. - Diva Nov 7, 11:19 1
    - I'm bringing popcorn next time. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 11:22
- nmbmel+tim mie - Diva Nov 7, 11:14 1

      - "Wait, Profit got better overnight. Which are you?" -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:18 7
        
        "wait...Profit kicked all 26 of our asses with a Halo Knife?" - Mel Profit Nov 7, 11:20 6
        
        btw... - Mel Profit Nov 7, 11:20 5
        
        No, but you can melee with the butt end of any weapon. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:23 4
        
        until your wife plays Twister with cheerleaders...I win. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 11:25 3
        
        I rule nothing out with her, God bless her. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:27 2
        
        *mails you some popcorn* -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 11:27 1

Oh about that $500 poll, I change my mind. I remember now, I want an iPod Touch! -- nm - Guigue Nov 7, 11:10 7
- I'm having trouble thinking of one big item that would come to $500. (I wouldn't pay that much for a dog.) I would rather use that $$ for multiple sma - kelly Nov 7, 11:24
- can i change too? travel gift card from itravel2000.com! -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 11:18 1
  - You can't, it's too late. Your gift is in the mail already - Guigue Nov 7, 11:23
- Oh! Blu-ray player. Are all BR players able to play 'regular' DVDs as well, or is that an extra feature I have to look for? - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 11:15 2
  - They will play regular dvd's. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:17
  - I believe they are all backwards compatible -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 11:16
- yep. I'm changing too to that. -- nm - M Nov 7, 11:12

I'm so glad I started this private driving business earlier this year. Limousine companies are laying off, selling cars, or going out of business. - CrankYanker Nov 7, 11:08 2
- Can probably find good deals on slightly used limos, too. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 7, 11:17
- Limo Mogul! -- nm - M Nov 7, 11:10
I have a PPO through my employer, which I will keep when I move. BUT there is different administrators in FL than TX. How will that affect me? - ty97 Nov 7, 11:07 1
- I'm pretty sure that no matter the insurance, if you do not have a gap in coverage, pre-existing conditions are not relevant -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 11:08
Hotkiss, I'd get the Bamboo. For $100, it's as cheap as you'll ever find a real wacom tablet, and I heard great things about it - Guigue Nov 7, 11:07 5
- Get the medium one. -- nm - lileve Nov 7, 11:10 4
  - There's only one Bamboo size IIRC -- nm - Guigue Nov 7, 11:11 3
    - Guess so. The Bamboo Fun comes in two sizes. -- (link) - lileve Nov 7, 11:18 2
      - Oh yeah true. I guess I just don't want to pay for a mouse I'd never use on such a small tablet -- nm - Guigue Nov 7, 11:21 1
        
        Yes. I want the tablet, not the mouse! -- nm - lileve Nov 7, 11:26
Will, you playing Halo tonight or is it poker night? -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 11:06 17
- I think I'm going to play Halo; I wasn't expecting to play cards, not no-limit at least. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:08 2
  - cool - I'm hoping we have enough guys to beat up elementary school kids in big squad battles -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 11:10
  - Translated "I am going to kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllll ll you" -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 7, 11:09

        Judging by how early you beg off the Halo beatings some nights, Callisto's in bed by 7pm? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:12 2
        
        You're setting her up worse than me with that one. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:13
        
        I get sleepy! -- nm - Callisto Nov 7, 11:12
        
        oh! - kelly Nov 7, 11:11
        
        how many misses does he have? -- nm - Callisto Nov 7, 11:11 4
        
        well, two - tRuMaN Nov 7, 11:22 2
        
        Remlik's just my bitch, not my bride. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:23 1
        
        since you sneak off some night to "play" with him when you wife goes to sleep - tRuMaN Nov 7, 11:28
        
        Just you and Felicia Day...so far. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:11

Here are some books I would get: MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. APRIL 3D, 1798. - Max Nov 7, 11:04 4
- The Historie of the Raigne of King Henry the Seventh, by Francis Bacon in 1622 - Max Nov 7, 11:12
- The earliest book to suggest the now accepted theory of the Asiatic origin of the American aborigine - Max Nov 7, 11:07

- a freemason conspiracy book from 1798 - Max Nov 7, 11:06
LIR: The Pat-Down -- (link) - Beaker Nov 7, 11:04 [Backboard] 6
- He should really keep his shirt on. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 11:05 5
  - I think Deadspin nailed it, he's batshit crazy. -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 11:07 4
    - I'm guessing he's trying to rip off the Daily Show. - ty97 Nov 7, 11:10 3
      - it was as funny...just not the same kind of funny... -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 11:12 2
        
        you were laughing at him, not with him. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 11:13 1

carolyn hax friday chat question: keeping/displaying gifts from an ex. does the new SO have a right to put their foot down? - pigby Nov 7, 11:04 19
- meh. current girlfriend should get a grip. if she's secure in the relationship, it shouldn't be an issue. - kare Nov 7, 11:13
- i have a painting in my spare bedroom that an ex painted. i only have it cause i like. it's not an issue. - Andie Nov 7, 11:10 5
  - in the living room is kind of in your face, though. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 11:11 4
    - *shrug*, mine's over our computer. - Andie Nov 7, 11:11 3
      - ah. Well, I can see it being an issue depending on a lot of things. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 11:13
      - but, like i said, if it WAS an issue, i'd take it down. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 11:12 1
        
        It displeases me. Remove it. -- nm - Danno Nov 7, 11:23
- why would he want it to begin with? -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 11:09
- Eh, I dunno. I don't know if it's all that big a deal. - kelly Nov 7, 11:08 3
  - i also don't understand people who make their new SO throw out all pictures of their exes. - Andie Nov 7, 11:11 2
    - I keep all mine, but the wife doesn't know about them. Everybody wins. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 11:13
    - it all boils down to insecurity....nm - x Nov 7, 11:12
- "on loan" from a former gf? So it actually *belongs* to an ex-gf? That's the game-changer for me. - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 11:08 1
  - yeah, that part strikes me weird. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 11:10
- Only if you are living together. -- nm - Amy Nov 7, 11:05
- This was an episode of HIMYM... -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 11:05
- Yeah, I think he's an idiot for even telling new-SO that old-SO bought it for himi -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 11:05
- this guy's first mistake was telling her where it came from. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 11:04 1
  - what man would even know what a stained glass crescent is otherwise? -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 11:05
That's interesting, I had a first...i refreshed board 2 and then came back and Vermin was now first. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:03 2
- You have the same time-stamp to the second. The way Bery set it up is to sort by time, I believe. -- nm - psilotum Nov 7, 11:05 1
  - Yep, and it doesn't have microsecond granularity. Although I do have an idea to make it a bit more precise. - Beryllium Nov 7, 11:09
All I know is, my wife's Federal Blue Cross (which I can now use), is pretty kickass. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 11:03 2

  - we won't have our pick of companies anymore. We're all being moved to Aetna. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 11:16

- 9/11 -- nm - Rudy Nov 7, 11:05 2
  - Hey, waiting out the first 4 contests was a brilliant idea. Spotting your opponents who are far more in tune with the base a huge head start....smart -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:07 1
    - 9/11, Florida, 9/11 -- nm - Rudy Nov 7, 11:11

- Agreed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 11:04 5
  - And Newt's sitting back in his comfy chair watching the party look stupid, ready to ride in on a white horse cuz he's smarter than any of them and - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:05 4
    - More and more, I think there's something to the idea that no political mindset can last more than two POTUS cycles. - David Nov 7, 11:13
    - Yeah, Newt is brilliant. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 11:11 2
      - I've said it many times, I'd pay money to sit in a room and listen to him and Bill Clinton discuss policy. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:13 1
