    - Hmm. In that case you might die -- nm - oblique Nov 4, 08:51 1
      - not super wobbly. but i figured it would be no big deal, and i could definitely feel it. - TFox Nov 4, 08:52

- is this the same as AMC eMax screens boasting 8x HD ? - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 4, 08:43 2
  - You mean IMAX? Those are film (70mm, but actually 35 mm film blown to 70 mm for Hollywood movies), not HD files -- nm - Guigue Nov 4, 08:45 1

- scandalous -- nm - e Nov 4, 08:30
so the server at work appears to be dying. here is my question - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:25 24
- Make him use the IT guy. Maybe...*just* maybe, the reason your server died was because he bought shitty stuff? -- nm - oblique Nov 4, 08:31 3
  - the old server was built by the previous IT guy (who my boss loved as an IT guy) - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:33 2
    - I hate crap like that. If it's important to your business, it should be worth spending the appropriate money on to do it right -- nm - oblique Nov 4, 08:34 1
      - sure, but my bosses didnt know what the guy gave him - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:37
- ie, a server like this -- (link) - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:30 9
  - also, realize here is what we use the server for. - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:31 2
    - that server would be fine for you needs sure. Don't do it for free though. - decline Nov 4, 08:35
    - I'd almost say "use a nas", except for those tray apps -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:32
  - note: No Operating System -- nm - decline Nov 4, 08:31 5
    - we have a licensed copy of Server 2003. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:32 4
      - Not to cast dispersions but was this 2003 Server retail (or volume) or bought OEM on the last server? - oblique Nov 4, 08:34 3
        
        it is/was from an Microsoft small business package that we got a couple of years back - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:38 2
        
        I forced my boss to get that package of software - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:41
        
        *grin* - oblique Nov 4, 08:39
- do it for a grand. -- nm - Remlik Nov 4, 08:28
- Tell him you'll do it for $1,200 -- nm - decline Nov 4, 08:27 1
  - I agree with this. -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 08:28
- Are you going to be paid for working on the weekend? -- nm - amoxy Nov 4, 08:26 1
  - short answer, probably not. maybe, but probably not. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:27
- Dell server on sale - like, used? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:25 4
  - The last dell server i bought was around $1,800 ( and it was nothing that special ) -- nm - decline Nov 4, 08:28 1
    - at my last job, I hand-built servers using OEM components ... and just before I left, we started getting Dell servers instead. - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:29
  - no idea. he just thinks I can find stuff cheap since I have for 3 office computers -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:27 1
    - yeah, never cheap out on servers. Get a dell server with a service contract. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:27
Good election results, eh? - Dr.Vermin Nov 4, 08:23 2
- And Landbeck's mom was elected to the city council of Aberdeen, MD - per FB. Congrats to her. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 4, 08:32
- A sign a day is just enough, apparently. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 08:26
smutty if you're around when does Ashes to Ashes 3 and Spooks season 8 start? -- nm - Remlik Nov 4, 08:21 3

This story is very odd. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 08:18 16
- It was on the Today show this morning. It doesn't make sense to me either. Why didn't they get out of the car? -- nm - decline Nov 4, 08:22 14
  - Not easy to open the door of a car when completely submerged, water offers a *lot* of resistance. -- nm - celedhring Nov 4, 08:23 13
    - this is why they sell little spikes you can put in your console to break the glass. This is *exactly* why. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:25
    - Roll down the window? oh wait...stupid power windows -- nm - oblique Nov 4, 08:24 4
      - MythBusters showed power windows still work when submerged. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 08:27 3
        
        They still work, but the pressure is too much and overpowers the motors. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 08:30
        
        I want to see this episode. It sounds very interesting :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:28 1
        
        Here's a Wiki summary of the episode -- (link) - TWuG Nov 4, 08:33
    - Yeah, if you don't open them before you're submerged then you kind of have to wait until the car's full of water. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 08:24 6
      - Which still gives you time. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 08:26 3
        
        Kinda indicates they might have had something impeding their reaction -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:27 2
        
        Meh, in a panic all it takes is one ill-timed gulp of water into their lungs amd they're done for. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 08:31 1
        
        Yeah, 3 persons with very limited oxygen. I can really understand panic taking over without anything strange going on. -- nm - celedhring Nov 4, 08:36
      - Mythbuster did an episode about this. IIRC, they found that it was very feasible to open the door and the window before the car was full -- nm - Guigue Nov 4, 08:25 1
        
        Here are their findings from that episode. -- (link) - Ender Nov 4, 08:29
- I saw that on CNN ... very sad. I can top it for oddness, though. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:21
Meh, ABC doesn't seem to have put up the V pilot at Hulu or their own site. -- nm - celedhring Nov 4, 08:17 2
- Looking around at Hulu it seems they will post them on Saturdays... shucks. -- nm - celedhring Nov 4, 08:18 1
  - Yeah, I'm annoyed. Oh well, that's why God gave us torrents, I guess. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 4, 08:25

- I would have more mins talking, if I talked. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 4, 08:42
- Unlimited texting is only like $4 a month and I don't pay it because I wouldn't use it. -- nm - David Nov 4, 08:41
- Talking. I've sent 0 texts. -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 08:27

- Texts. Hate talking on the phone. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 4, 08:14
- Minutes I think, but mine is covered by work so I don't know for sure. Plus BBM saves me texts -- nm - MDH Nov 4, 08:12
- Talking, I guess. But I do prepaid and never see a cell phone bill of any kind, and the cost is always the same. -- nm - con_carne Nov 4, 08:12
- I've sent exactly one text ever. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 08:11 7
  - Did it have something to do with my ass? -- nm - oblique Nov 4, 08:47
