- it's all about choices -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 22:25 6
  - it's the banks fault they talked me into transfering $25.00 a month into my savings for free checking, otherwise I would have had the money. -- nm - Stacy Nov 7, 22:28 5
    - which is why i just pay 5.00 a month for "not free" checking - pigby Nov 7, 22:31 4
      - I keep a small savings account with a crumby interest rate so that I get free checking and bill pay. - MojaveMeg Nov 7, 22:38 3
        
        Hmm...crumby didn't look right, but wiktionary says it's a valid alternative to crummy :) Using savings as overdraft protection is still expensive - - MojaveMeg Nov 7, 22:49
        
        oh i have a savings account too that i make sure always has plenty in it to cover any potential overdrafts in checking - pigby Nov 7, 22:43 1
        
        yeah I forgot to account for the shuffle this month, it is kinda a pain. -- nm - Stacy Nov 7, 23:00

"You said it, Smart Liberal!" .... that cracked me up. "Sure thing, giant beer!" -- nm - rollo Nov 7, 22:16 1

Wow. Robin Thicke is hot. -- nm - Dano Nov 7, 21:53
Try to ban me... nice try!!!!!! -- nm - Notadumbliberal Nov 7, 21:51
The reason I'm lagged in Halo, by the way, is because of those fucking hackers from last weekend. - Beryllium Nov 7, 21:43 3
- Maybe your fucking hackers are related to the 2 asshats on board 2. - Trish Nov 7, 21:50 2
  - I didn't ban gjoshgreen -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 21:50 1

    - Great, he was on there a couple of weeks ago and killed then, too. - Trish Nov 7, 22:01
So, do we like the temporary banhammer? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 21:22 19
- Why is it only temporary? -- nm - secretslacker Nov 7, 21:50 1
  - because it's too much work to do it permanently. It'll last quite a long time, but it's not permanent. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 22:39
- Can you do IPs? Those two (?) freaks will be right back. -- nm - David Nov 7, 21:43 11

      - b2. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 21:09 6
        
        Oh. Now I feel dumb. :( -- nm - Subversive - least conducive to reworking Nov 7, 21:09 5
        
        Aaaand, it wasn't as interesting as I had hoped. - Subversive - least conducive to reworking Nov 7, 21:13 4
        
        for the record, I hate fighting. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 21:13 2
        
        Me too. But I enjoy watching others fight. - Subversive - least conducive to reworking Nov 7, 21:15 1
        
        this is one case where I don't like pleasing you . ;P -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 21:17
        
        honestly, looking at it now, I probably just would have glossed over at the sight of it and not paid it any attention. -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 21:13
    - What I meant was, what, in particular, did you find notable enough to comment on? -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 21:06 5
      - if you looked, you'd see. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 21:06 4
        
        not necessarily. I might perceive them in a totally different way than you did. -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 21:07 3
        
        I think everyone can perceive the thread that broke b2. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 21:09 2
        
        but how would I that it was *that* particular occurance that you felt was deserving of comment? - znufrii Nov 7, 21:11 1
        
        ...how would I *know* that it was... -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 21:15

IE 8: Keep Internet Explorer 8 from adding any sites you visit to Browsing History with InPrivate Browsing. - celedhrymandias Nov 7, 20:31
anyone here use paypal on ebay? i have a question about fees and charges.... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 7, 20:18 9
- There's a reason so many sellers gouge on shipping on ebay. It's to cover paypal and selling fees. - Subversive - least conducive to reworking Nov 7, 20:45 1
  - I hear eBay is going to restrict shipping charges. Nicey-nice, eBay. I'll be selling my stuff on Amazon. -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 20:49
- for merchants, to take credit cards you have to pay a varying percentage of each trans, plus a trans fee, plus monthly maintenace fees plus whatever.. - zeitgeist Nov 7, 20:43
- PayPal offers substantial protections for buyers and sellers. -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 20:40 2
  - paypals protection means nothing, zip, nada, paypal will NOT be left holding the bag no matter bad the ripoff, yes you are right, you will have your.. - zeitgeist Nov 7, 20:50 1
    - Those are good tips. Don't use a debit card. Don't leave a balance in your PayPal account. Don't give them a bank account number. - Mop Nov 7, 20:55
- i've used paypal many times on ebay. it's convenient in and of itself but really what other choice do you have? - pigby Nov 7, 20:23 2

Chrome users... how is the browser shaping along? - celedhrymandias Nov 7, 19:50 6
- So long as I can't use my extensions in Chrome, I'm sticking with Firefox. Consider re-installing FF. -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 20:41
- Incompatible with Facebook still. IE 7 doesn't present me with any issues. IE 8 is supposed to be even better. -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 19:52 4
  - IE doesn't seem to use the zoom option (CTRL+) in my display. It de-centers the page which is a huge minus, since I use it a lot. -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 7, 19:57 3
    - Are you wanting it to basically increase the size of what you're viewing? Because I just tried that and it did. -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 20:03 2
      - Yes, but when I do it on IE, it displaces all the contents of the page to one side, and I have to scroll, which is annoying. FF keeps all centered. - celedhrymandias Nov 7, 20:09 1
        
        Awesome, seems that IE 8 takes care of that issue - celedhrymandias Nov 7, 20:45

- that sucks -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 7, 19:28
- There is a question mark in that. "Pushing Daisies cancelled?" - Mr. Havens Nov 7, 19:27
- *blames Obama* -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 19:26 1
  - *blames those who voted for him* -- nm - friskies Nov 7, 19:27

        at least that one is easy to wrap up (spoilers) - mafic Nov 7, 19:36
  - as much fizzle as the first season had, these shows have been that flat. i can't put my finger on it but they are just kinda bleh -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 19:28 2
    - The charm definitely wore off, but it's been picking up. - JaxSean Nov 7, 19:30 1
      - i agree. i wasnt as into this season, but it still had some great moments -- nm - Die Incognito Nov 7, 20:05
