so far i am unable to find any competitors to the acer I linked to on b2. - tRuMaN Sep 14, 10:40 5
- Dell are fairly reasonable. -- nm - Loyola Sep 14, 10:42 1
  - i looked at Dell, the cheapest with similar specs if over $100 more. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 14, 10:48
- sometimes things are cheap for a reason. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 10:40 2
  - You mean "most of the time". -- nm - Don Homer Sep 14, 10:41 1
    - yes, but I saw no need to bring musubi into the discussion. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 10:42
Older adults who sleep nine or more hours each day may have a higher risk of developing dementia than those who spend fewer hours in bed....(link) - Walt_Disney Sep 14, 10:31 4
- but is that a cause or a symptom? -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 10:32 2
  - yes -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 14, 10:42
  - it's a correlation, looks like. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 10:32

Batman Arkham Asylum game question - when you complete the story, are you booted from Arkham, or can you still run around and find the Riddler's stuff -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 10:24 8
- you can still run around. -- nm - Callisto Sep 14, 10:25 5
  - But here is some free advice: - Groundskeeper David Sep 14, 10:30 4
    - gracias - I kind of figured that out too late. I'm in the story on Normal and I wish I'd spent more times with the riddles up front (spoiler) - crash davis Sep 14, 10:35 3
      - you can almost always go back to search for stuff at any time in the story. - tRuMaN Sep 14, 10:39
      - The Killer Croc section is not only the hardest of the game imo but also the least fun. I fully sympathize. - Groundskeeper David Sep 14, 10:37 1
        
        "I probably would have gotten frustrated and quit." - almost happened with Poison Ivy for me...that was...unfun -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 10:39
- You can still run around. -- nm - Ender Sep 14, 10:25 1
  - thanks! -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 10:26
How huge of a star would Taylor Swift be today had she taken her moonman and hit Kanye in his nutsack with it last night? - Jim Sep 14, 10:24 49
- "Kanye West hates white people." and walk off. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 10:35
- I still wouldn't be able to name a song of hers or pick her out of a lineup. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 14, 10:34 25
  - I wish I could say the same. I really don't enjoy her music. - ty97 Sep 14, 10:35 5
    - Eh...it's generic country-pop. nothing too offensive, but nothing innovative either. -- nm - Jim Sep 14, 10:36 3
      - certainly unoffensive, true. I just don't care for it. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:37
      - I've enjoyed a few of them. They have a way of getting in your head and not leaving. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 10:36 1
        
        ~/she's a cheerleader and I'm in the bleachers/~ - Jim Sep 14, 10:37
    - No opinion on the subject, but complete agreeance on the IM. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:36
  - You must not listen to the radio much...cause you can't turn on many stations without one of her songs on it. - Jim Sep 14, 10:35 16
    - We listen to XM constantly. If I see her name, I just change the channel, same as all the other American Idol people. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 14, 10:35 15
      - Well, she's better than most of the idol folks. They're catchy songs...the first 5000 times you hear them. - Jim Sep 14, 10:37 1
        
        Yeah. I give her a lot of credit for writing her own stuff too. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:41
      - she's not an American Idol person (you're thinking of Carrie Underwood, maybe?) -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:37 10
        
        and Carrie is 5 times hotter and 5 times more talented. -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 10:37 6
        
        5 * 0 = 0 -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 10:38 5
        
        If she was in Mamma Mia, you'd be gagging on the tip of her phallus. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 10:40 1
        
        not really. - znufrii Sep 14, 10:44
        
        eh, Carrie can sing her ass off -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:39 1
        
        wordy mcword -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 10:40
        
        Heh. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 14, 10:38
        
        Probably. My fault. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 14, 10:37 2
        
        The two Swift songs I'm aware of are something about a Fairy Tale and the You Belong to Me song. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:38 1
        
        You Shoulda Said No and the Tim McGraw song are played often here. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:40
      - (she's not Idol.) - TFox Sep 14, 10:36 1
        
        The man who went by that title wasn't the real Idol either. The real Idol has been in Rio since 2000 slaying monsters and doing foreign scoops. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 10:40
  - I can't imagine why anyone would want to. - znufrii Sep 14, 10:35
  - Correct. One gold star for you. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 14, 10:34
- I was saying this to my sister too last night. Taylor would be immortalized if she said something witty and/or sarcastic to him or after he walked off -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 10:33
- She is gonna wait till her next album and make a song about it - eag Sep 14, 10:30
- This is why I think everybody should be given a handgun at these events prior to taking their seats. - Loyola Sep 14, 10:28 2
  - I suggested Nerf guns. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:35
  - Tried it, didn't work so well. -- nm - BET Awards Sep 14, 10:28
- I think she comes out of this even bigger than had she reacted stronger. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:26 8
  - totally. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 10:27
  - Oh yeah, for sure. But if she kicks him in the dick last night...I buy her CD today on principle. -- nm - Jim Sep 14, 10:27 5
    - I wonder what Beyonce had to say about him... off-stage. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:28 4
      - Especially because Beyonce is pretty much above VMA awards at this point. She couldn't give a shit if she won. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 10:30 2
        
        I like Beyonce but one of those that feels she is too overexposed -- nm - eag Sep 14, 10:32 1
        
        it's a little hard to overexpose the biggest female pop star on the planet. - TFox Sep 14, 10:35
      - yeah, she looked appalled. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 10:29
  - yep, she looked like a stunned innoncent country girl whose speech had been hjacked - ty97 Sep 14, 10:27
- if she called him a bitch, it would have been priceless -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:25 7
  - That's the only part that shocks me: that it happened so early, and not one winner took their speechtime to call him out for being a bitch. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 10:27 6
    - That is surprising. Did Brand say anything about him? -- nm - Jim Sep 14, 10:28 5
      - I don't know, actually. I've just not heard of a single on-stage response. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 10:30 4
        
        He made some dumb comment about it being all about love and Michael Jackson or something like that. - ty97 Sep 14, 10:34
        
        Ah...so the guy who is so out there that he'll crack on the Jonas Bros...is really a little - Jim Sep 14, 10:32 2
        
        agreeance -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 10:33
        
        Diddy mentioned it when Kanye's he announced Kanye's name as a nominee and people booed -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 10:33

- I prefer it being referred to as the WTC rather than Ground Zero. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:26 6
  - it's obvious what she meant. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 10:28 3
    - of course it is. I'm saying, I'd answer it in that spirit, not with sarcasm. - ty97 Sep 14, 10:30 2
      - the thing is you have no idea who this person is. For all you k now she lost her brother in 9/11. Why would anyone nitpick her phraseology? -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 10:31

In his last 22 series as quarterback for the Panthers, Delhomme has thrown nine interceptions and lost two fumbles, an amazing streak of incompetence. -- nm - Groundskeeper David Sep 14, 10:21 10

    - If I had started both picks that Jim made fun of me for picking, I'd definitely win my astronauts game :) -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 10:31
- I first read that as games, not series, and thought, "That doesn't seem too bad." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 10:26
- so there were 11 series where he didn't lose the ball, really isn't the glass half-full, not half empty? -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 10:23 1
  - That's a bit more than half full really. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 10:26
- *stares at phone* -- nm - Jeff George Sep 14, 10:23
- Wow. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:21 1

- they should get Mike Myers on and have him sitting next to him...again... -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 10:07 2

Saw U2 this weekend. Great show for those who are going. The staging is very cool as well. One moment that was really awe-inspiring (spoils) - pmb Sep 14, 09:59 2
- 2 days! -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 10:05 1
  - It's really amazing to me that they can break down, move and rebuild that stage that quickly. -- nm - pmb Sep 14, 10:13
for all of Cutler's INT's...the Bears still almost beat the Packers (hopefully Lovey will run the fvcking ball next game) -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 09:59 4
- My guess is that Bears WR practice will include a session on "why running the whole route, not just part of it, is important". -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 10:06 2
  - They're so not used to a quarterback who looks beyond the first option and might improvise that they don't know what to do. -- nm - pmb Sep 14, 10:08
  - you'd think that might have come up the last couple of months or so :) -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 10:07
