    - so they are basically talking about a mix of flavors in there dishes - tRuMaN Oct 22, 15:41 2
      - I'm not sure. I'm kind of lost sometimes watching that show. -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 15:42 1
        
        I would guess for a dish/meal I am right. - tRuMaN Oct 22, 15:44
  - yes. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 15:33

  - Thanks! -- nm - the darcy Oct 22, 15:26
so much for ice skating bears -- (link) - marcel Oct 22, 15:22 5
- "It was unclear what caused the bear to attack..." Seriously? Where to start... - Mop (230 lbs) Oct 22, 15:27 1

- that's what brought this up. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 15:23 1
  - oh, didn't know this. Bery, you should not only check for posted links, but also for posted content! -- nm - marcel Oct 22, 15:24
So me and my Mom are going to her half sisters my half aunt's wedding on saturday - eag Oct 22, 15:16 12
- Sounds tacky. That being said, I'm a proponent of the idea that once you survive to a certain age, you can eschew all rules of etiquette and such. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 22, 15:37 1
  - Breaking some rules is just tacky and makes you look greedy. -- nm - the liioulu with rain Oct 22, 15:41
- Don't wear the dress! -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 15:22
- you NEVER spell out that you want gifts, period, much less cash. (very bad manners) -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 15:21
- And it's an etiquette no-no. You don't put your gift preferences on the invite. - the liioulu with rain Oct 22, 15:21 5
  - or do give cash... to a charity in their name. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 22, 15:25 1
    - Even better. -- nm - the liioulu with rain Oct 22, 15:27
  - She has already gotten her a gift card - eag Oct 22, 15:25 2
    - That'll do. - the liioulu with rain Oct 22, 15:26 1
      - She is the least favorite of all my mom's half sisters - eag Oct 22, 15:28
- sorry, this is hilarious - marcel Oct 22, 15:19 1
  - And even more hilarious it's one of the English as a second language contingent catching it. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with rain Oct 22, 15:22
is it possible for surgical titanium screws to work themselves out of bone? - Reagen Oct 22, 15:15 4
- i think so - Danedukenuuk Oct 22, 15:20 2
  - In theory they should have completely ossified by now, but who knows. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 15:21 1
    - It would depend if the screw was made smooth or had pits bone could grow into. - the liioulu with rain Oct 22, 15:25
- I don't know about surgical screws, but regular screws do and it's possible. Especially in an area with lot's of movement. -- nm - the liioulu with rain Oct 22, 15:18
chinese panda team? I'll put a US team of Kodiaks out there and muscle through to the gold. - crash davis Oct 22, 15:13 2

  - eh, I'll bribe them -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 15:25
Excellent NY Times story (4 pages) on Microsoft from a new days back. Ballmer's future may be on the line. - Mop (230 lbs) Oct 22, 15:06 5
- Example of Microsoft's failure to innovate: No built-in Blu-ray for Xbox. Instead, look for an accessory. - Mop (230 lbs) Oct 22, 15:14 1
  - it wouldn't be pretty if they started selling it built in and couldn't use it for games - stewie Oct 22, 15:22
- wll MS has not i my experience been a Trend setter ever but's it's still THE market leader - Danedukenuuk Oct 22, 15:09 2
  - Fair enough. Their every success has been a rip off of something else (DOS, Windows, Office, IE, Xbox...) -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Oct 22, 15:11 1
    - exactly they either "steal" it or buy it...but they market it better then anyone else - Danedukenuuk Oct 22, 15:14

Leo DiCaprio is an idiot -- (link) - marcel Oct 22, 15:00 [youtube] 7

  - Zing! -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 15:40
- I'd rather him go through life sampling the hot chick buffet than do something like Boreanez seemingly has. - Will GhostHunting Oct 22, 15:05 1
  - agreed. He's single, he can do what he wants. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 15:07
- I'll not deny her ridiculous hotness, but on the other hand, Leo's been handed a free pass to the chick buffet. Who doesn't use that? -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 15:02 2
  - I couldn't get past the first creepy comment under the video. -- nm - David Oct 22, 15:03 1
    - your life is better pretending that YT doesn't have comments. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 15:04
"You go tell him it's a penalty" is very, very funny. -- nm - David Oct 22, 14:59 2
- yeah, Will outdid himself there -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 15:01
- indeed. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 15:00

  - Do you think you could eat this: - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 22, 15:11 3
    - I'd certainly give it a shot! - Stephen Oct 22, 15:33
    - if it was meat only, I'd try it...I think the starches would cause me to fail -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 15:30
    - Nah...that's too much. - Will GhostHunting Oct 22, 15:15
  - The question "Can the Japanese even open their mouths that wide?" should be immediately followed by the phrase "I saw a video once..." -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Oct 22, 15:08
- Or as ty97 calls it: Thursday. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Oct 22, 15:04
- kilbo, nooooo! -- nm - big time shamu Oct 22, 14:58

STIS Linux version...is there a way to run netflix watch instantly? -- nm - Elybow Oct 22, 14:53 4
- well, no. it should work via moonlight and a firefox plugin, but the DRM is part of silverlight, and msoft is not willing to allow moonlight to - tRuMaN Oct 22, 15:17
- OK, figured as much. Thanks. -- nm - Elybow Oct 22, 15:04
- Not directly no. You could use PlayOn on a Windows machine and some kind of UPnP client but that's just dumb -- nm - kilboooo! Oct 22, 14:54 1
  - and a virtual machine would work, but really, at that point you're just running Windows :) -- nm - kilboooo! Oct 22, 14:54
Sweet Caroline might beat Don't Stop Believing's record for most consecutive plays on my iPod. -- nm - Dano Oct 22, 14:52 12

- [deleted] 2
  - Um, no. No. And...no. Just tell all your friends that you're going retro with the songs which makes them ironic. Then it'll be ok. -- nm - Trish Oct 22, 15:01
  - Where it began? I can't begin to knowing but that I know that it is growing strong. -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 15:00
- I never get sick of Sweet Caroline. nm - Dignan Oct 22, 14:53 6
  - I like it but Cracklin Rosie is better -- nm - eag Oct 22, 14:56
  - who are you? the real Dignan should hate Sweet Caroline -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 14:54 4
    - Stop it. He's made great strides since they sent him away to "camp" - Trish Oct 22, 14:57 3
      - It's nice having more of you and crash around these days. : ) -- nm - Deevil Oct 22, 15:01 2

- Any for dogs? -- nm - Darwin Oct 22, 14:54 1
  - As a matter of fact, yes there are. Oddly, none of the new animal prints come in dog size. -- nm - Trish Oct 22, 14:58
- TFox? -- nm - kilboooo! Oct 22, 14:53
