        yes, I split up my collection using smartfilters. They work pretty decently, I just don't know why there isn't already a date interface. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 10:37
- iPhoto -- (link) - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 10:24 1
  - I've been somewhat disappointed with iPhoto lately. The integration with Facebook and flickr is not nearly good enough - Guigue Oct 21, 10:27

  - Heh, I actually have that. Bought the whole adobe suite for college and never knew what Bridge was really for :P -- nm - celedhring Oct 21, 10:27 1

OK, time to wrap up Slate. They've gone insane. -- (link) - Reagen Oct 21, 10:17 5
- Another reason to like 311: they lit Scott Stapp up in a bar after he sucker punched their drummer. -- (link) - TFox Oct 21, 10:24 2
  - (is 311 usually referred to as being an LA band? i thought they were most identified as being from nebraska) - prayformojo Oct 21, 10:26 1
    - They formed in Omaha, but they have been in LA for well over a decade now. Depends on who you ask. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 10:30

Screenshots of the new Google Music Service. -- (link) - Don Homer Oct 21, 10:16 10
- It seems like there's a bunch of companies now that want to do the same thing everyone else is doing - Guigue Oct 21, 10:19 9
  - FWIW, in technology, the strategy is usually to get your foot in the door with the next big thing. Get a brand going - con_carne Oct 21, 10:25 2
    - I just don't think it has worked so well lately. Microsoft isn't doing too good with the Zune or the Zune marketplace - Guigue Oct 21, 10:30
    - And there's a lot of gamesmanship as well, it's not so much that Company X wants to rule a certain field, it's that they don't want Company Y to. -- nm - Ender Oct 21, 10:27
  - Google has made quite a bit of money, taking ideas other web companies had first, and just doing them way way better. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 10:25
  - Sometimes I wonder if Google does really want to take over the world. They seem to enter every market on Earth. - celedhring Oct 21, 10:23 2

- I wonder what those number would be if we were actually paying for this war ourselves? -- nm - con_carne Oct 21, 10:04

    - here are a few of them - crash davis Oct 21, 10:04 [Image] 3
      - how often can one hit that automag ammo box and get refilled? -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 10:10 2
        
        I think there are at least three refills in each box. I'd never refilled before on Alpha Site and I love the automag & the SMG for Drones only -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 10:18 1
        
        that one cavern with the 3 level you,me & tru did had a box. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 10:31

        I guess the big question is once we get Endure, are we going to taunt groiny with our new Recon armor? -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 10:19 1
        
        but of course! -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 10:31

ST poll: will you be buying Bill Simmons' (The Sports Guy) Big Book of Basketball when it comes out? - Beaker Oct 21, 09:56 10
- I strongly recommend this other book on the NBA, which is probably my favorite book on the modern game I've ever seen. So so good. -- (link) - TFox Oct 21, 10:11 2
