- A few malls around here have little red/green lights above the parking space. So if you look down the row you can see if all the spots are taken. - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 23, 13:34
I can't believe there isn't a service out there that does this: Sits in front of your email server, receives emails, strips attachments larger than - oblique Dec 23, 13:26 16
- Looks like you've got a start up to work on. -- nm - lileve Dec 23, 13:39
- ... because most people would write this themselves with procmail if it occurred to them -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:28 14
  - but then, procmail can do everything but yet...I don't use it for an email service - oblique Dec 23, 13:29 13
    - Total geekery is unavoidable if you're a server administrator. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:32 12
      - Still, I find it surprising that there is no software or service that performs this function -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 13:34 10
        
        well, I don't find it odd that there's no service. - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:35 8
        
        so why not have the service ftp/something the files to a secured company server then? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:38 2
        
        I think the SEC would get pretty pissed off if there was information harvesting like this going on -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:39 1
        
        (In fact, with GMail now positioning itself to offload email services ... the SEC and similar organizations should be keeping an eye out for abuses) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:40
        
        But there's YouSendIt and it's like that do this all the time. Just nothing similar on the receiving side -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 13:38 4
        
        Because by definition, a service would have to view *all* incoming email, whereas yousendit is opt-in -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:38 3
        
        Sure, but again, I also trust Postini to do this for me for spam... -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 13:40 2
        
        well ... then, if they don't have an option for that, buy them out and implement it and be a goldenchild of the next decade -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:41 1
        
        I figure you could hook up with Amazon S3 for attachment storage and maybe even - oblique Dec 23, 13:45
        
        well, get on that! - groiny Dec 23, 13:34

Amazon Prime overnight shipping on 12/23? $3.99. - JaxSean Dec 23, 13:24
I find it interesting that the largest city in a state (or province) isn't typically the capital. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:24 13
- Many likely were when they were made the state capital I'd suppose - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 23, 13:37
- In Australia, the largest city is typically the capital. US examples that come to mind are Boston, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver -- nm - Roger More Dec 23, 13:33 6

- Hawaii and Alaska -- nm - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 23, 13:26
- I still protest the idea of Hawaii having an interstate highway -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 13:25 5
  - It's called "interstate" because the funding is shared between states, not because the roads go between statews -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:26 4
    - I still protest. -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 13:28 3
      - well, don't you also protest the usage of the word 'bigfoot' because it's prejudicial to small-footed sasquatches? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:29
      - I don't even think it should be a state. Get upset about that. -- nm - mara Dec 23, 13:29 1

Yet *another* Georgetown player transfers. We can dress about 4 players now (they'll be playing a lot of zone, I guess) - prayformojo Dec 23, 12:53 5
- He's running a Pete Carrill-style Princeton offense, right? - The moossiah Dec 23, 13:02 1
  - you see bits of it now and then, but not much. The thing is, the guys that have been leaving haven't/won't amount to much anywhere else -- nm - prayformojo Dec 23, 13:04
- They're still bitter about how Hibbert and the refs ruined the NCAA tournament that year. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 12:54 2
  - Don't you mean Jeff Green? I think he's the one that you thought travelled :) -- nm - prayformojo Dec 23, 12:55 1
    - a) not "i thought". "did". he travelled. b) you're right. - TFox Dec 23, 12:57
Huh. I didn't know that Interstate / straitaways was just an unban legend. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 23, 12:46 2
- I saw a special on discovery that specifically discussed using the interstates for plane landings. - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:47 1
  - I always heard about it more for "emergency" landings, as opposed to "in times of war." -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 23, 12:51
One hour to Harrisburg! One hour to Harrisburg! And then a two hour drive at least. - amanda Dec 23, 12:46 2

  - and *poof* he appears below... -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 13:02
Application done. submitted. paid. -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 12:43 2
- I'd joke about it being 'denied', but with all the griping on the BBs about it, "accepted" might be a harsher punishment :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:44 1
  - heh. :) -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 12:50

  - The bigger the number, the more impressive it is to maintain. -- nm - David Dec 23, 13:16
  - It's fairly random for first week films. Anything +/- 5% is just noise anyway. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 12:58 5

  - I think you and Inigo are getting a bit carried away. -- nm - David Dec 23, 13:16
  - I cannot believe this is all over a movie I would never see. I mean, usually these big films hold some allure for me but this looks like such crap. -- nm - amanda Dec 23, 12:49 12
    - My mom usually hates sci fi/fantasy movies, and yet this might be the first movie in 2 years we go and see as a family - con_carne Dec 23, 13:11

        I do not buy into that Dances with Aliens thingy. - groiny Dec 23, 13:03 2
        
        I'm not particularly bothered by it (I don't mind being told a story a second way if it's done well) but it's almost note for note in parts. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 13:06 1
        
        well, it is what it is. - groiny Dec 23, 13:09
    - I might see it if it comes here in IMAX+3D ... but even then it's iffy. - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:50 2
      - I think you'd love it. Just for what it's worth. - Callisto Dec 23, 12:54 1
        
        Oh, I'm sure it's possible. I mostly liked Transformers, after all. - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:02

      - 3d liemax was pretty impressive. I have a hard time watching action movies on a huge imax screen anyways -- nm - ceregon Dec 23, 12:59
      - I don't honestly see there being a significant difference between regular 3D, FakeMax or IMAX. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 12:54 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        the IMAX glasses are more solid (and have to be returned). I don't think there's a real difference in the viewing experience, though. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 12:59
        
        would have to, yes. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:58
    - a large proportion of it. That's the attraction of releasing a movie this time of year. - Reagen Dec 23, 12:51 1
      - $18 each here. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:52
    - (Or, to state my actual question, what is the probability that there will be a *steep* drop in earnings after the holidays are over?) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:48 2
      - I'm sure there will be. It's still a lot of money in that time. -- nm - pmb Dec 23, 12:54
      - that's still, really, 12 days away. it wll have had three weekends by then and a week when tons of people are off. it might not matter by then. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:50
