  - quick, send a message (bcc style as if it's a mass message) to him saying "my contacts are getting spoofs looking like my email, please ignore" -- nm - Max Oct 13, 14:55 1
    - [deleted]
  - Just click "undo." -- nm - psilotum Oct 13, 14:52
- when I read -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:44 4
  - "attention sluts" I thought you meant Guy. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:44 3
    - Why pick on Guy? There are plenty sluttier -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 14:46 2
      - there is an old saying "he who smelt it dealt it"...and Loosi did post first in the thread.... - Beaker Oct 13, 14:47 1
        
        I was going to use myself first, but then it wasn't scanning. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:47
JFK poll: Do you think Oswald acted alone or was there another gunman? -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:35 38
- Now I'm wondering if Randall Simon was a patsy for The Second Batter. nm - Dignan Oct 13, 14:56
- I kind of like the theory that a Secret Service guy fired his weapon involuntarily when he heard Oswald's shot. -- nm - mara Oct 13, 14:54 3
  - Your taste is morbid, mara. -- nm - Max Oct 13, 15:00

- Conspiracy. -- nm - Stephen Oct 13, 14:49
- Conspiracy. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 13, 14:45
- I've been to the Plaza where the bookstore was, I could make that shot -- nm - CQ Oct 13, 14:43 20
  - not with that piece of crap gun. -- nm - Remlik Oct 13, 14:51 1
    - no Mannlicher-Carcanos will be used to defend us against zombies, thats for sure -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 14:56
  - I doubt it. That is one of the things that bug me about it. - crash davis Oct 13, 14:49 14
    - is it any more plausible that two gunmen could fire simultaneously? -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:50 13
      - Sure. It took 5-6 seconds. - Will Hunting Oct 13, 14:53 11
        
        it's a shame the autopsy was botched. the answer would be there. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:56 10
        
        another thing, the most important autopsy at that time in the world and it got botched? -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 14:57 9
        
        forensics was not even close to what we have today. I'm actually n ot so weirded out by that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:58 1
        
        I'll acknowledge your point about forensics, but I'll still maintain my point :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 15:01
        
        yeah that surprised and didn't surprise me. You have secret service agents in the room, as well a General I believe directing the autopsy. -- nm - Remlik Oct 13, 14:58 1
        
        the science of examining gunshot wounds was in its infancy, though. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:59
        
        And a mob-affiliate was able to hang around the basement of the most important prisoner transfer in our nations history? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 13, 14:58 4
        
        just a baffling string of gross incompetence across the board in the most important criminal investigation, or conspiracy - crash davis Oct 13, 14:59
        
        Joe Kennedy? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 14:59
        
        It's Texas Joey. -- nm - Remlik Oct 13, 14:58 1
        
        Watching that documentary...."We know there's people wanting to take shots at him...we need perfect security..." - Will Hunting Oct 13, 15:00
      - no, but one dude could get off two shots while a second gunman got off the third -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 14:52
  - I don't think so, but possibly. -- nm - CQ Oct 13, 14:45 1
    - this post is supposed to be under loosi's -- nm - CQ Oct 13, 14:46
  - I went there a few years ago. shocked at how close it really was. Did you ever see the digitally stabilized Zapruder film? -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:44
- Unsure. -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 14:39
- me: Single gun theory. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:36 5
  - now I'm sure it was a conspiracy - crash davis Oct 13, 14:38 4
    - heh. I just like the evidence better on the single gun theory side. And it is simpler too. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:41 3
      - it is simpler, but there are somethings that stick in my craw and won't go away -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 14:42 2
        
        well, I mentally eliminate eyewitness accounts because they are notorious unreliable. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 14:43 1
        
        they're horrible -- nm - CQ Oct 13, 14:47
- Alone. -- nm - nubby Oct 13, 14:36
- I think it was a conspiracy. -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 14:36
- Yes to both. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 14:36

- mm .. Sasha Grey with a baseball bat - marcel Oct 13, 14:33
*adds another case to the "honest services clause" pile* -- (link) - SCOTUS Oct 13, 14:28 5
- okay, honest question...did the defense try for a change of venue? and if they didn't, isn't it too bad, so sad? -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 14:33 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - ah, thank you -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 14:51
  - I guess not, inferring by the Samuel Sheppard thing -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 14:34
- I'll admit, I wasn't paying attention as I skimmed that article, but ... did it just compare Enron's Skilling to Dr. Richard Kimble? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 14:30
Alert: Tower Rd is closed due to an Fire Response at Wilson Synchrotron. - psilotum Oct 13, 14:26 6

    - Heh, sounds like we're leftover chili twins... - MojaveMeg Oct 13, 14:28
    - hmm ... I don't know if the world is ready for a smoked oyster and halloween candy chili -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 14:26
    - in my cupboard - marcel Oct 13, 14:25
    - sounds damn good. -- nm - CQ Oct 13, 14:23
    - Sounds tasty... -- nm - Deevil Oct 13, 14:23 5
      - That's your answer for everything! You're the Paula Abdul to CQ's Randy on our cooking show! -- nm - Max Oct 13, 14:24 4
        
        *gasp* When I see a recipe that looks awful/tasteless I just don't say anything at all!! - Deevil Oct 13, 14:26 2

hey st geek patrol, what would you suggest as a program to - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:15 8
- It's called a VPN :) -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 14:23 4
  - ok, see, I dont want to have to spend a lot of time - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:31 3
    - why doesn't he just use logmein.com to remote control his home PC? Maybe Windows SkyDrive? -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 14:34 2
      - that might be best option really - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:35 1
        
        Skydrive/LiveSync or whatever MS has these days is probably one of the easiest I've seen - oblique Oct 13, 14:36

Did anyone else watch the JFK miniseries on the HIstory Channel? I am mesmerized. - loosilu Oct 13, 14:14 3
- recorded, and will watch it later this week -- nm - peglegpete Oct 13, 14:25
- It wasn't bad. - Will Hunting Oct 13, 14:18 1
  - yeah, part 2 is less mesmerizing. But the almost-realtime video from the first hour is amazing. - loosilu Oct 13, 14:20
I hope this chart comes out OK. Here's my information on what different services refer to as "HD" on the web (not of it is technically HD). - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 14:14 22
- Any idea on Netflix streaming? -- nm - psilotum Oct 13, 14:29 6
  - I should add that to the list. Sorry for the ommission. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 14:34
  - 2600kbps or 3800kbps for the Silverlight player -- (link) - oblique Oct 13, 14:31 4
    - Thanks. So is that Silverlight a standalone player? I enjoy using my WMC remote to access Netflix. -- nm - psilotum Oct 13, 14:33 3
      - I believe the WMC player is the Sliverlight player. They've pretty much moved to it across the board now for PC based streaming -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 14:35 2
        
        True. This is a bit of dumbing down, but the old WMV is the new Silverlight. WMP plays Silverlight thus the player in WMC plays Silverlight. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 14:47
        
        Cool. Now I see that post is about a year old. -- nm - psilotum Oct 13, 14:39
- What I'm trying to understand is the statement that true technical HD is 135 Mbps -- nm - Guigue Oct 13, 14:17 12
  - That's only for 720p. For 1080p, it's 237 Mbps. A Blu-ray disc can hold 35 Gb of data, but still only holds 3 hours of video. - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 14:33
  - Raw video is very large. I don't know if it's that large, but it's very large. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 14:18 10
    - No consumer service is ever going to deliver uncompressed video -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 14:21 8
      - What's that, Bill Gates? - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 14:33 5
        
        But you're talking decades probably -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 14:34 4
        
        Moore's Law. 5 years and I bet we get uncompressed 4k. - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 14:40 3
        
        *stares at is 1.5Mbps DSL* - oblique Oct 13, 14:41 2
        
        Fiber-to-the-home (although copper ain't dead yet...) -- (link) - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 14:46 1
        
        2006...I'm still waiting -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 14:47
      - well duh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 14:21 1
        
        Just makes it a weird number to bring up when discussing the technicalities of HD delivery -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 14:21
    - Oh I know, I work with uncompressed 10 bit HD all day long (4.3 GB for a 30 second ad with sound) - Guigue Oct 13, 14:20
- ironically, at home, hulu will stream hd to my xbox, but not to my old computer - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:15
- The funny thing is that VC-1 is the Windows Media codec. Xbox dropped VC-1 in the Spring 2007 update. *gasp* What? No synergy at Microsoft? -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 14:15
