- [deleted]
- Yes. But it'd be one of the last places one could depend on one being at. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:30
- yes. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 22, 13:28
- I see them so rarely now they're almost like something in a museum, so no, but then I don't expect to see them anywhere. Except maybe jail. -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 13:28
- Why else would they have all those phone books? -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 13:28
- i think i would. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 13:27
- wicked no. -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 13:27

well, that was humbling. i just got invited to test a new Woot site as a purple-box (i.e. 50+ Woots bought) Wooter. - TFox Oct 22, 13:23 10
- More than 50? I have half that. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 13:27 5
  - the sad part is, i bet that is just Woot proper. -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 13:28 4
    - (it is just Woot proper, but at least they count when you buy 2 or 3 as 2 or 3. that makes me feel a wee bit better.) -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 13:32 2
      - Oh. Then WTF is my email? -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 13:33 1
        
        Wait, that would include items they ran out of or missed sending me. - Spawn Oct 22, 13:35

- [deleted]
- thomas.woot.com? -- nm - kilboooo! Oct 22, 13:24 2
  - deals.woot.com. looks like they're trying to launch their own slickdeals, populated and voted on by the Wooters. -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 13:26 1
    - That makes sense. Perfect fit. -- nm - kilboooo! Oct 22, 13:27
Struggling with some career decisions lately. ST is smart, input would be appreciated. - Subversive Oct 22, 13:23 11
- Make them give you the extra money. You might be a douche, but they're douchy a-holes. Just keep this in mind, you'll be quitting them sooner than - Trish Oct 22, 13:40 1
  - True, on the last sentence. I think the douche clause expires after some reasonable amount of time. - Subversive Oct 22, 14:01
- Couldn't that last line be a "pro"? I say stick around and get that $5/hr - con_carne Oct 22, 13:30
- this sounds wishy-washy but stick around until you find a dream contract? -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 13:29 1
  - Yeah, this might be a good answer. I think I'm employable enough that I can get something in the event I do get outsourced. - Subversive Oct 22, 13:34
- I don't see the downside of sticking around while continuing to look -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 13:25 5
  - The downside is if I make this stink and get the raise, and then leave, I look like an asshat, and hurt my chances for future contracts. - Subversive Oct 22, 13:32 2
    - I've never worked in IT, but I've never met a recruiter that didn't make a big stink about me leaving a job for any reason - Roger More Oct 22, 13:33 1
      - Hehe. Yeah, fair enough. -- nm - Subversive Oct 22, 13:34
  - yep. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 22, 13:31
  - This is my answer -- nm - kilboooo! Oct 22, 13:28
[deleted] 5
- so do they ever give the real answer for these? -- nm - sycor Oct 22, 13:37
- Courtney Cox? I don't know who the friend would be though. -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 13:30
- i hope it's not julie bowen. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 22, 13:27 2
  - this was my thought. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 13:29 1
    - and Elizabeth Banks could be her sister, though she's not on a show right now. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 13:32
Theater counts - David Oct 22, 13:21 12
- Awesome! ong bak 2 -- nm - ceregon Oct 22, 13:41
- Ameila: 13, Astro 18, Saw 28, Cirque 7. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:34 2
  - Amelia might make that much during it's whole run. -- nm - big time shamu Oct 22, 13:36 1
    - Australia Part 2? -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:39
- Ouch for Amelia. I had hope until now. -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 22, 13:25
- See, *this* you could have started with the "By popular demand" line, because people actually care. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 13:23 6
  - Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer. You've had a busy day today. -- nm - David Oct 22, 13:25 5
    - (All kidding aside, arguing against the greatness of Almost Famous is like arguing against man's need for oxygen. Good luck with that, Trolly.) -- nm - David Oct 22, 13:25 4
      - Almost Famous sucks for 1 reason and 1 reason only. Kate Hudson. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 13:28 3
        
        She is a major factor. - Spawn Oct 22, 13:30
        
        I love her so much in that movie that it hurts me to see what a fuck-up she is in life. -- nm - David Oct 22, 13:29 1
        
        I will say she started very strong in the movie, but halfway through something changed in her that made me hate her. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 13:32
Hulu's free days are numbered -- (link) - kilboooo! Oct 22, 13:20 10
- Which I find puzzling, because I thought the whole point of Hulu was to combat piracy -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 13:26
- *pats his V-cast phone* -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 13:23 2
  - 100% of what I use Hulu for is available on the broadcaster's website except BSG when it was on - kilboooo! Oct 22, 13:25 1
    - Yes, queuing is very handy. -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 13:27
- all good things come to an end -- nm - decline Oct 22, 13:23
- i would subscribe *if* the content level was better. 99% of the crap they have up on there, they should pay me to watch -- nm - big time shamu Oct 22, 13:23 1
  - but you watch it anyway! -- nm - Max Oct 22, 13:25
- [deleted]
- Hard to take a site seriously that has the sentence, "This is not so good, this here news." But whatever. if Hulu wants to become iTunes v2.0 let 'em. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:22
- I disagree with their use of the word "officially". - nubby Oct 22, 13:22
Marisa Tomei looks amazing. -- nm - Inigo Oct 22, 13:19 2
- Definitely. She was cute before, but she's hot now. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 13:21
- Her constant lack of clothes in Before The Devil Knows You're Dead brings the fap big time -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 13:21
Dear VMware, I appreciate your emails to me telling me how great virtualization is - kilboooo! Oct 22, 13:18
hah, volt is ridiculously cheap compared to LA haute cuisine - big time shamu Oct 22, 13:18 7
- Wait. All morning long I've been thinking you guys were talking about a car. -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 13:20 1
  - Try to keep up ;-) -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 22, 13:22
- $140 for the tasting menu plus complemeting beverages. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 22, 13:20 4
  - each to their own, but that's pretty good value for a tasting menu. I've paid more -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 13:24
  - i'd probably just do a la carte but still. i could get out for under $75 -- nm - big time shamu Oct 22, 13:20 2
    - oh sure. doitdoit. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 22, 13:21 1
      - i have got to stop reading the menu. - b.oo! Oct 22, 13:23
How about bimbos that never made it out the starting gate, the Olsen twins, ok they were kinda cute in the larval stage but once they turned legal... - zeitgeist Oct 22, 13:18
if we each send mick. a dollar, he'll be able to afford... half that meal at volt? -- nm - b.oo! Oct 22, 13:17 2
- look up. it's not *that* pricey - big time shamu Oct 22, 13:19
- he'll find the money, just to rub it in their faces -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 13:18
If we're still doing this hotter now than before: Mariska Hargitay. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:15 6
- really? can't hold a candle to her mom anyway -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 22, 13:22 5
  - really? as in she's ever been hot? -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 22, 13:22 4
    - Well, you have to realize I'm mostly a homo, but I think she's found some hotness in the last few seasons. Maybe it's confidence with her award wins. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:24 3
      - she is hot, but is a much different way.... - groiny Oct 22, 13:26 2
        
        Is it that she could probably put you in some kind of freaky submission hold? -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:35
        
        well, any association to Jayne Mansfield increases one's hotness -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 22, 13:29
what is the world's oldest profession? - peglegpete Oct 22, 13:15 9

  - Ogg my personal chef. Him make heavenly vinaigrette. -- nm - Krug Oct 22, 13:17
