judging by their facebook posts, Five Guys has really expanded since the summer. The seem to add a new restaurant a few times a week -- nm - prayformojo Oct 22, 08:38 5
- First one opened here Monday. I was disappointed. - Ender Oct 22, 08:47 2
  - Half as many fries here would mean only about a pound. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 22, 08:48 1

- looks like Booker T is done with the company as well. He's rejected the contract they offered him. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 08:35 8
  - Yeah, they weren't pleased with him at all, from what I heard, lowballed him on the contract offer, knowing he wouldn't take it. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 08:43 2
    - Having Vince Russo there is not a good idea and I think it's holding them back. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 08:45 1
      - Well, they've always been awful bookers....but how in the world do you have veterans and refs risking the talent like Sabin's case? - Will Hunting Oct 22, 08:47
  - Chris Sabin is ok from that Impact injury. He suffered a stinger and is sore, but he's ok. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 08:36 4

Glee was great last night. Weakest musical episode yet, I thought, but the best acting. Also, it had some *funny* lines. - Subversive Oct 22, 08:29 6
- I'd didn't need to hear Bust A Move again, but Sweet Caroline and I Could Have Danced All Night moved the episode above musically weak, imo -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 08:31 5
  - Those songs were nice, but I prefer the group numbers. Puck is a better singer than Finn, though. - Subversive Oct 22, 08:36 2
    - Trish said that about Puck vs. Finn three lines into Sweet Caroline as well. -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 08:37 1
      - He sang that well last night. It was sort of swoony. -- nm - Deevil Oct 22, 08:55
  - *shrug* Danced I could have taken or left. Caroline was stellar. -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 08:32 1

My fave current gun in Borderlands is this insane revolver. It only holds 2 bullets per round but... - Shaun Oct 22, 08:25 9
- I don't know much about guns, but why does it need to revolve if it only holds 2 rounds anyway? -- nm - mara Oct 22, 08:40 2
  - It's a video game. Just roll with it :) -- nm - Shaun Oct 22, 08:46
  - because there's only one barrel? -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 08:46
- i sold that last night. - tRuMaN Oct 22, 08:29 5
  - I'm going to be focusing on pistols and smgs for my main guns. I'll keep a few other types around though, just in case. -- nm - Shaun Oct 22, 08:36
  - Oh man you sold it?? I'm level 21 now and it's still my main gun. I also have an smg that fires spiraling smoke trailed bullets. It's sexy. -- nm - Shaun Oct 22, 08:35 1
    - it did deadly damaged, but I wanted more ammo - tRuMaN Oct 22, 08:49
  - I am hereby censoring you guys from talking about Borderlands, because I'm starting to want it. -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 08:33 1

ST Poll: Should I watch the original version or the director's cut of Cinema Paradiso? - con_carne Oct 22, 08:19 2
- It's almost a different film, so if you like the original I guess you should. - celedhring Oct 22, 08:24 1
  - I've never seen either version at all, and I'm trying to choose which one. - con_carne Oct 22, 08:26

LIR: Guigue. I don't think Apple's upgrade policies are much better. XP: 2001, Vista 2007, Win7 2009. From 2001-2008, Windows users didn't have an - oblique Oct 22, 08:12 6
- Like I said, I'm not talking about prices, I know Apple releases paying upgrades more often - Guigue Oct 22, 08:23 5

    - You can't have it both ways. You're comparing SPs to Mac OS system upgrades. Then SP2 is from 2004 ans SP3 is from 2008, but neither are upgradable -- nm - Guigue Oct 22, 08:29 3
      - Just saying that you're touting a $30 upgrade from a 2005 system, and I'm just saying I get a $50 upgrade from a 2005 system *and* a $50 upgrade from - oblique Oct 22, 08:31 2
        
        And also, it doesn't matter what version of the old system you have. 10.4, 10.5, they work. Not "Home Premium" or "Business" headache - Guigue Oct 22, 08:38
        
        I think it's a rethorical question but I'll try to answer it: 30$. The Snow Leopard AFAIK works on everything - Guigue Oct 22, 08:36
because it was mentioned on b2: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Pack is available at Costco.com for $134.99 shipped. You get licenses for 3 PC's -- (link) - tRuMaN Oct 22, 08:11
