        L3! -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 15:06
SITWAP: Irony: "We had hoped there would be more tolerance for different viewpoints." -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:39 7
- Let's see, the folks against gay marriage, or gays in general, protest and boycott businesses and compnaies that support gay rights. - the liioulu with dry umbrella Nov 12, 15:08
- Holy Crap, I think I know the executive director of the California Catholic Conference. (nm) - musubi Nov 12, 15:05
- I'm particularly interested in how the Sacramento Music Circus issue plays out, they do some of their casting out of NYC. - znufrii Nov 12, 14:43 2
  - but on the other hand, for actors especially, a job is a job... -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:44 1
    - and a hand job is a hand job -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 12, 14:49
- "he is particularly confused because his business has participated in the annual gay pride Rainbow Festival" Translation: - oblique Nov 12, 14:41 1

34% of households now have an HDTV, up from 20% last year - Stewie Nov 12, 14:37 6
- It just occurred to me that we're on our 2nd HDTV. We've already retired one. And the new guy has a little brother, too. - Mop Nov 12, 15:26
- Hey! I finally post something interested on TT and I get SITWAPed! -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 15:09
- Of course, can you even buy a big screen TV that isn't HD any more? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 12, 14:39 1
  - No, but you can still buy a dvd player - Stewie Nov 12, 14:50
- I'm watching HD but not on an HD set. Stick that in your survey and suck on it -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 14:38 1
  - FYI: Just sitting really close to the TV doesn't make it "HD." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 12, 14:42
SITWAP: Fan asks Robert Pattinson (Twilight) to bite her. -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:35 3

- yuerkk! -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:36

- it really is rounding into a good show... - Mel Profit Nov 12, 15:09
Will - EXACTLY -- (link) - Cuzzin Todd Nov 12, 14:29 [Backboard]
SITWAP: Michael Lewis (Liar's Poker) explanation for the financial crisis. -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:29 6
- That is EPIC reading. It'll take forever to get through. And it's DAMN scary. Eisman for Sec. of the Treasury! -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 15:10 1
  - That's why I emailed the link home for later reading. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 15:12
- "...take a hard look at the crappy assets they bought with huge sums of �borrowed money..." - Mop Nov 12, 15:00

New youtube contest. -- (link) - Dano Nov 12, 14:28 [youtube]
Guy - I'm still looking up people's numbers, but so far you are the only STer who is more liberal fiscally than non-fiscally -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:27 22
- i can't remember which was higher, but they were close for me. mid-30s, moderate liberal. i really disliked that there weren't enough choices for a - b! Nov 12, 15:23
- that doesnt entirely surprise me -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 14:43
- Throwing mine on the pile: On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (31). -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 14:35 1
  - Damn. The copy paste didn't capture the fiscal issue score. It said I was a moderate only 1 square over from the middle line if that helps. -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 14:37
- Who is furthest right? Vermin must be more right than me -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 14:28 11
  - I don't see where Vermin reported a score - so far the far right is you NF 65, and F 58 & Ender NF 53 & F 75 -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:31 10
    - I just put up 27 non-fiscal, 75 fiscal. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 12, 14:46 2
      - and 100 on baby-making. -- nm - NWBR si Nov 12, 14:48 1
        
        Not yet that I know, but fully expecting it to be so. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 12, 15:10
    - Link me if you'd be so kind and i'll see if I can beat those scores :) -- nm - Stephen Nov 12, 14:44 2
      - here it is -- (link) - crash davis Nov 12, 14:45 1
        
        NF 72, F 62 both Moderate Conservative -- nm - Stephen Nov 12, 14:59
    - *dances on the extreme* -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 14:31
    - and of course, you are in that select category with Guy and Bery -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:31 2
      - add Don Homer to that list -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:44 1
        
        and ty - I guess its not uncommon -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:45
- oops Bery just barely qualified for that distinction - fiscally 15, non-fiscally 17 -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:28 2
  - :) Free money for everyone! - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:28 1
    - Free love for some! -- nm - mara Nov 12, 15:14
- you should put together a chart for the wiki -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:27 2
  - I'm slowly working on it. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 14:28 1
    - *gives you a pile of awesome* -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:37
CNET really likes the Nyko Wing Wireless Classic Controller for the Wii (instead of Nintendo's model). (link) - Mop Nov 12, 14:26
Fox's new show: Smile, you're under arrest! -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:26
SITWAP: About f***ing time somebody asked that question. CBS News wants to know how much of Wall Street bonuses are coming from bailout money? -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:23 9
- they ought to just take it all and run away to the Bahamas -- nm - Guy Nov 12, 14:46
- Not nearly enough! -- nm - The Hon. Michael Bloomberg Nov 12, 14:31
- my sentiments exactly. You get a bonus for good performance. I could get a monkey to do a shitty job with my mutual funds. And pay him in bananas. -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 14:28
- they just need to ask it 3 more times, and then CNN or WaPo will pick it up, and people will start paying attention. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:24 5
  - People are paying attention, it's they feel they can't do anything about it -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 14:27 4
    - Now wait a minute, the public outcry got them to re-work bailout package # 1 into # 2 - which they are now abandoning - Pippy Nov 12, 14:29 3
      - Didn't Congress put in some kind of oversight into plan #2? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:31 2
        
        I hope not - Pippy Nov 12, 14:37 1
        
        Seems like that was the uproar over #1. "Oh no you di'nt just ask for $700 billion with no strings." -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:41
zeitgeist: The more important question is, why does the coloured fountain still have clear water? False advertising! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:23 1
- ooooh, scandal! -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:25
Things must be bad. Our district controller asked for cost cutting measures. I emailed her one and 9 minutes later she put it into effect. - ceregon Nov 12, 14:22 18
- Did you get any kind of reward money? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:27 6
  - Nope, just doing my part. I don't think the public sector does rewards like that. - ceregon Nov 12, 14:31 3
    - Pity. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:43
    - where do you work, again? -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 14:32 1
      - I'm a research analyst for a community college district in northern california. -- nm - ceregon Nov 12, 14:49
  - no cause he recommended no more reward money - Pippy Nov 12, 14:31 1
    - Save that one for last. ;^) -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:40
- Excellent. I love it when I suggest something and it's immediately embraced. Except for those times when it turns out not to be such a good idea. -- nm - mara Nov 12, 14:25 5
  - "Hey everybody, watch this!" -- nm - Bad Idea Mara Jeans Nov 12, 14:31 4
    - *laughing* Real-life example: my department got into trouble after we started Twittering refrence questions. -- nm - mara Nov 12, 14:42 3
      - (bad idea jeans and "watch this" are my favorite two foreshadowing phrases.) - Max Nov 12, 14:52
      - ooh, scandalous. I didn't hear that that experiment ended poorly. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:44 1
        
        No, I didn't say much about it. -- nm - mara Nov 12, 14:52
- I wish I could do that. I think have the same ratio of phone to people as printers to people. It's the toner cost that bugs me -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 14:24 4
  - True, but we have close to 300 printers for 400 people, 40 different models. And people wonder why we have overhead -- nm - budice Nov 12, 14:26
  - My entire floor, some 16 people, has only a single printer. And we barely use it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:25 2
    - Well, that's because only two people know where it is. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with dry umbrella Nov 12, 15:13 1
      - (This is not untrue. :)) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:21
[an error occurred while processing this directive through sickness and health, for better or worse for as long as the two of you both shall live] -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 14:22
krusty - The SSC Aero (from Shelby) is actually faster than the Veyron -- (link) - M Nov 12, 14:22 12
- 0-60 in 2.78!!! That's just sick! -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 14:25 11
  - the Veyron decelerats 62-0 in 2.3 seconds (31m) -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:27 10
    - The performance of the supercars they make now is just ridiculous. - krusty Nov 12, 14:30 9
      - I think they've more or less reached the limits - M Nov 12, 14:35 8
        
        I'm hoping someone figures out a way to get some real power of an electric engine. - krusty Nov 12, 14:41 7
        
        the reason for buying an electric car is economy and environment, for a supercar it's fun fun fun. -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:53 1
        
        I know but I'm thinking that a lot of people aren't going to be interested in a "green" car unless it's also fun to drive. - krusty Nov 12, 14:58
        
        A lot of the electric car "junior" companies right now are limited to the same licensing structure as scooters. - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:48 2
        
        Scooters?!? That's terrible, hopefully they'll change that soon. - krusty Nov 12, 14:53 1
        
        It's a safety/liability/insurance thing. Historically, fan-built electric cars were ... lacking in many of the safety features common in mainstream - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:16
        
        Tesla? -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:43 1
        
        Oops, forgot about that one. Okay, there's one. :-) -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 14:44
LIR: On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Conservative (65). On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Centrist (58). -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 14:21 3
- has anyone been surprised with the results they've gotten? - znufrii Nov 12, 14:26 2
  - Me, no. I expected to be just right of center -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 14:27 1
    - and I expected myself to be just right of "liberal wacko nutjob"... - znufrii Nov 12, 14:28
Loosi - some supercars -- (link) - M Nov 12, 14:21 3
- I saw this when you posted it last time and since then I noticed a 1968 Corvette sitting in a lot slowly falling apart. - krusty Nov 12, 14:28 2
  - and then you'll go Home Improvement on it? -- nm - M Nov 12, 14:36 1
    - Yup. I'd fix her up and sell her to buy a car I'd actually like to drive. -- nm - krusty Nov 12, 14:37
Good night! -- nm - lileve Nov 12, 14:21 3
- See ya! -- nm - mara Nov 12, 14:23 2
  - bye! -- nm - Max Nov 12, 14:24 1
    - "Have fun storming da castle!" -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 14:29
Let's see Backboards: Bonds - 1 Connery, 2 Craig, 3 Dalton, Brosnan, 5 Moore, Lazenby incomplete since I don't recall his one movie all that well. - Will Hunting Nov 12, 14:19 3
- personally i find Lazenby far better than Moore -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 12, 14:22 2
  - the Moore bonds turned the series into a spoof of itself - zeitgeist Nov 12, 14:28
  - tough call - M Nov 12, 14:26
