- yeah it looks really bad. almost as bad as the comics by Chaos comics that they did in the 90's. -- nm - Remlik Dec 2, 11:18
- I hate Hunter. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:18 1
  - Shhh, and pay attention to them fighting zombies. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 11:18
I get to see Sherlock Holmes tomorrrow at 2pm - who wants to touch me! -- nm - Max Havens Dec 2, 11:16 8

Mop, wtf is this? -- (link) - oblique Dec 2, 11:11 [flickr] 7
- Video encoding process. This is basically the innards of the black box that is ffmpeg. - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 2, 11:13 2
  - I've settled on using avidemux at home I think. I record movies and such off broadcast TV and then convert them to a lower bitrate MPEG-2 with AC3 - oblique Dec 2, 11:16 1
    - A surprising number of products out there actually use ffmpeg at their core. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 2, 11:27
- There is an error in it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:12 2
  - And some backwards text, just for the heck of it. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 2, 11:15 1

  - just the ads for it have made me almost-buy a ds multiple times. is it enough on its own to be worth it, do you think? -- nm - b. Dec 2, 11:14

- [deleted] 2
  - I deduct two +++ since there was no purchase of Recorded Attacks Graphic Novel by Max Brooks. Otherwise stellar. -- nm - Remlik Dec 2, 11:16 1
    - ah ha! but I am waiting for my comic book store to get this for me! -- nm - Jovian Dec 2, 11:19

- Doesn't someone own the Pan Am brand? Like American Airlines? -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 2, 11:16 1
  - not sure, but there's no reason they wouldn't license it out for stuff like this. - znufrii Dec 2, 11:16
- Number 2 but they're all pretty old fashioned. -- nm - Loyola Dec 2, 11:12 5
  - The Pan Am one is horrible. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 2, 11:12 4
    - that's my least favorite -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:13 3
      - That's the only one I like. *shrug* -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 11:16 2

    - I don't like the colors on this one, otherwise it'd be my favorite. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:17
  - I can't really comment, not one of them is my style ... :) -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:11
- douche. - TFox Dec 2, 11:10
- #3 -- (link) - znufrii Dec 2, 11:10 2
  - i like every color of this bag other than the one you linked. i don't like the rest. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 11:12 1
    - ironically enough, this bag, in this color is my favorite :) -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:13
- #2 -- (link) - znufrii Dec 2, 11:09 1
  - This one. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 2, 11:12

- [deleted] 4

    - Have they both already declined arbitration? - musubi Dec 2, 11:13 2

- F***. (nm) - musubi Dec 2, 11:09

  - As I've mentioned over the years, this is a guy I've wanted to be a Brave all the way back since he pitched at Ferrum. -- nm - David Dec 2, 11:10
$45.00 - Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar Kit for Wii @ Amazon -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:04 1
- I want the drum set too, everywhere I look the best deals are for either just the game or just the guitar kit. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 11:06

[deleted] 4
- excellent flick -- nm - Jovian Dec 2, 11:10
- I just gave away that DVD, but I had to think about it. - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 11:06
- 11/15 out of 15 and I too liked Butterfly Effect. That struck me as Kutcher Hate rather than a real evaluation. -- nm - David Dec 2, 11:05
- Butterfly Effect was a good movie - surprisingly so. - Epiphany Dec 2, 11:05

  - Are you trying to make me read it? -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:03
- Well, one, she sounds like she had issues that manifested themselves in her sexuality and two, bi. -- nm - TWuG Dec 2, 11:01
- [deleted]
- David-level gay. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 10:58
ST Poll: What are your Facebook friending rules or do you just accept anyone? - oblique Dec 2, 10:56 45
- no co-workers, and if i don't feel like i 'know' you, i may accept but you'll be on the limited list. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 2, 11:42
- I only friend hotties. -- nm - Dano Dec 2, 11:18

  - I'm going to drive to MIN just so I can get on that list -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:07 11
    - [deleted] 6
      - You're joking, right? I mean, you're one of the most prolific STers. -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:16 2
        
        So? (nm) - musubi Dec 2, 11:18
        
        He actively avoids myself, Amy and the Bub when he is in town. - Spawn Dec 2, 11:17
      - overexposure does wonders - Roger More Dec 2, 11:15 2
        
        Well, that is her ST formula, so why not? -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:16 1
        
        is wiggum going to have to have a word with you about bees? -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:19

        [deleted]
      - I'm sure I can blackmail him with something -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:09
- If I don't know who you are from either your name or picture I don't friend you. -- nm - Ender Dec 2, 11:05
- I don't use Facebook at all. (nm) - musubi Dec 2, 11:04 2
  - yeah, but you won't even meet with us in person so you're weird -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:05 1
    - I've never met you people....as far as you know. (nm) - musubi Dec 2, 11:06
- I have unfriendede one person and declined an invite from one person. Otherwise, I'm pretty open. - TWuG Dec 2, 11:04
- I'm pretty strict. At least two meaningful in-person meetings (ST is exempt :)). No coworkers. - con_carne Dec 2, 11:02 3
  - (You know, I think I got that two meetings rule of thumb from mandy. It's a great rule.) -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:05
  - I should have included : "No current coworkers". I have friended people I used to work with -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:03 1
    - Yeah, same here. Former coworkers are OK. Just not current. -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:04
- I know people who have two FB accounts - one for everyone and one private. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 2, 11:02 3
  - redundant. They're just too dumb to utilize privacy settings. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 2, 11:03 2
    - No, for example, one FB persona for your professional life, and another for your crazy party life -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:10 1
      - Yes, exactly. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 2, 11:18
- People I know, mostly with whom I have been friends or have worked with. - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 2, 11:02
- I don't facebook. -- nm - peglegpete Dec 2, 11:01
- I don't just accept anyone. I tend to put people in limbo while I ponder how much drama they might bring into my life. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:00
- I have to know them - or at least know of them. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 2, 10:59
- Pretty much accept anyone I remotely know....then cull them as I see fit in the future. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 10:59
- if I haven't talk to you in 5 years, there's probably a reason why -- nm - sycor Dec 2, 10:58
- No d-bags. - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 10:58 1
  - "And yet you won't tell me!" - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:06
- Family (aside from peer cousins) only see my basic info and interests, no pictures. Everyone else sees everything. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 2, 10:58
- I have to know them, have the same name as me " Epiphany" or be real good friends with someone I do know - Epiphany Dec 2, 10:58
- I get a lot of stray requests, so I'm pretty stringent. The only gray is people I grew up with but haven't seen in years. -- nm - David Dec 2, 10:58
- You know... I should have a restricted list. That's a good idea. I friend most people I know and do not dislike. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 10:58
- If I don't know who you are, I don't acecpt your friend request. - znufrii Dec 2, 10:58 4
  - that -- nm - Jim Dec 2, 11:02 1
    - that's pretty much it for me too. -- nm - Jim Dec 2, 11:03
  - I always send out a "where do I know you from" message. If they give a legitimate way we met irl but I forgot (ie drunk), then they pass the test. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 2, 10:59 1
    - If I can't remember, and can't figure it out, I don't bother asking. - znufrii Dec 2, 11:00
Bah, there are days when I wish I still had an office to go to. This legal release needs to be witnessed, then faxed. I guess that means a trip to - MojaveMeg Dec 2, 10:55 7
- mobile notary? -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 2, 11:01 3
  - Nah, not worth it. Doesn't need notarized or medallion signature, just a witness. - MojaveMeg Dec 2, 11:06 1
    - you have scruples too. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 2, 11:16
  - that would actually be really cool, "dial-a-notary" -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:02
- I don't get the faxing requirements. How is that different from signing it, scanning it, and emailing it? -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 10:57 2
  - Probably no different, but concepts haven't caught up with technology. I understand they're already making allowances for the fact that both my - MojaveMeg Dec 2, 11:04 1
    - We do *alot* of faxing as a general contractor. It amazes me -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:05
[deleted] 4
- don't give them any ideas, they'll just repeal the whole thing permanently. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:01
- Actually, it goes back to 2001 levels. -- nm - Ender Dec 2, 10:59
- I remember Al Franken calling this "Pull the Plug on Granny Day". -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:57
- I smell a Law & Order episode. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 10:56
Accessing registration-only sites via Google News is likely to become harder -- (link) - oblique Dec 2, 10:51 5
- This is the other reason I don't much like Google News. The idea of clicking a link, which then says "sorry, you can't read that" is annoying. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 10:57
- This is Google allegedly acquiescing to big media with pay walls. In truth, it's Google punishing them. - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 2, 10:55 1
  - Pretty much. News orgs are going to have to realize that news is their loss-leader. The income will have to come from value-added (archives, etc) or - TWuG Dec 2, 10:58
- I heard that this morning. as long as one can still see headlines, it's likely to not be a frequent issue. - b. Dec 2, 10:55
- New York Times links are completely inaccessible through Chriome: They go straight to the registration page and there's not even an indication of what - TWuG Dec 2, 10:54
At the same time a player shouldn't go unpunished for something that's apparently suspension-worthy just because the refs missed it. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:49 6
- That's the part I don't agree with..it's not suspension worthy. It's a free kick. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 10:54
- Exactly, what if a player runs up beside another player and clocks him one while the ref isn't looking. Same difference, he should get punished. -- nm - Loyola Dec 2, 10:52
- A handball is suspension worthy? I honestly didn't know that. (nm) - musubi Dec 2, 10:50 3
  - Well...a typical run of the mill handball is just a free kick. But considering everything surrounding this one...I guess it's taken more seriously? -- nm - Jim Dec 2, 10:51
  - I wouldn't have thought so either, but the article says there's precedent. - Reagen Dec 2, 10:51 1
    - that's the key - deliberate - because it can be so disruptive to the play of the game. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 10:52
The biggest problem, IMO, on that hand ball goal WASN'T the handball...it's the fact that not 1 but 2 guys - Jim Dec 2, 10:48 9
- I guess I laugh at the sport saying they value integrity but then you see countless examples of flops - Will Hunting Dec 2, 10:50 6
  - Or a guy on ManU ninja kicking a motherfucker in the chest with cleats on. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 10:52 1
    - zidane and vinnie jones agree that that's classless -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:55
  - they've gotten better at carding players who flop. They don't get everyone obviously, but it's less tolerated than in the past. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:52 2
    - The flopping in soccer is *ridiculous* at times. - musubi Dec 2, 10:56 1
      - *flops on the ground hoping to get a foul* -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:57
  - Laughing at your IM. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 10:52
- I hope they give Thierry Henry the electric chair. -- nm - Loyola Dec 2, 10:50
- Yeah, I'm amazed that a bigger deal isn't made about *that* missed call. - musubi Dec 2, 10:50
*institutes instant replay on ST* -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:46 1
- *fines groiny for inappropriate touching* -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 10:51
'/~you go around willy-nilly. for example, I go around wanting you.'/~ -- nm - b. Dec 2, 10:46
Interesting article but the thing that surprises me is that companies like Redbox just go buy DVDs at Walmart? -- (link) - oblique Dec 2, 10:46 2
- the distributors won't sell to them. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:47 1
  - It just seems like even then, you'd order bulk quantities from Amazon or somewhere rather than buying physically in a store -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 10:49
/runs roughshod over B2/ -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 10:45
