People who know computer components: would you mind looking at this memory module... -- (link) - TFox Dec 28, 16:18 11
- Meh, it's OK. It could use some color. Maybe some neon. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 16:20

  - 1 Gig and 3 Gig...i'd say nope -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 28, 16:32
  - Not the same. The eBay one is "parity" or ECC (that's the "P" after 5300). -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 16:22 7
    - Also for that speed you might check your motherboard and see if it will take a 3 gig stick. A lot of motherboards around when that was used only took - Redmond Dec 28, 16:24 3

        RAM is very tricky stuff. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 16:26
What, sincerely, love about the library - I can order almost any show on DVD. What, sarcastically, I love about the library - No matter how I order - the liionohjlyu with too many letters Dec 28, 16:18 1

- This is just the tip of the iceberg in regards to my favorite time of year... CES! -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:52
- I'm waiting for TFox to tell me this is a bad idea so I can validate someone else's corporate decision-making. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:49 4

      - You quoted speculation that Fox was going to kill Idol. -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 16:14 1
        
        Here's the original story. - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 16:18
The closer analogy is to McDonalds. AI is McDonalds. The hosts are menu items. NONE of the hosts, IMO, are the Big Mac - TWuG Dec 28, 15:44 17
- It depends on who you get to replace Cowell and if Cowell starts X-Factor elsewhere. - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:45 16
  - You know what American audiences have been begging for? X-Factor! Because we totally know what it is! -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 15:46 15
    - you could've said the same about idol before its first US season. -- nm - mafic Dec 28, 16:33
    - it's a damn good comic by Peter David. *adds it to your pull* -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 16:00 9
      - i need to clean out my pull box, don't i? i do. -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 16:05 4
        
        yeah....whevever you're ready. I can send you alist of what's in it. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 16:15 3
        
        would you? that would be rad. -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 16:16 2
        
        np. gimme a bit. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 16:19 1
        
        no rush -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 16:20
      - "Good" and "Peter David" don't live on the same continent - TWuG Dec 28, 16:03 3
        
        I don't like everything he's done, but I like X-factor. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 16:17 2
        
        He has moments. He's no Mark Waid or Kurt Busiek, though. -- nm - TWuG Dec 28, 16:20 1
        
        I'll agree with that. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 16:42
    - Wow, you're really pissy about this. I'm not saying it's a good idea. I'm saying this is what I heard. - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:49
    - it's a great show - Danedukenuuk Dec 28, 15:48 2

- argh. I'm at zeno's kind of tragically sober listening to a newly engaged couple (him: drunk. Her: no) sort of break up. It's pretty sad. - amanda Dec 28, 15:45 5
  - I googled the PB wings - the restaurant's web site didn't give many details - is it like a peanut satay sauce? - JenBro Dec 28, 15:47 4
    - I don't know what satay is. I don't think you can google wing flavors. A bar I used to go to had "sultry" wings. Go ahead and google that. -- nm - amanda Dec 28, 15:52 3
      - how is this possible? I think you like peanuts more than anyone I've ever met. -- nm - mafic Dec 28, 16:39
      - got it - one that I saw said "asian" - which is what made me think of that - but it's not so much "hot" as it is spicey -- nm - JenBro Dec 28, 15:54
      - satay basically = spicy thai peanut sauce. -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 15:53
- Me, too -- nm - TWuG Dec 28, 15:44

Is Being Erica canceled or will there be a third season? -- nm - David Dec 28, 15:35 7
- dignan would know. it's his number one fave -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 28, 16:37
- Second season is still currently airing, so it likely hasn't been decided. - Reagen Dec 28, 15:45 3
  - I've been burned before. You canceled Once a Thief, you bastards. -- nm - David Dec 28, 15:55 2
    - Did you get to the lesbian episode yet? -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 15:59 1
      - I haven't started watching yet (I probably won't until February) but I have ripped all of the discs to TiVo. -- nm - David Dec 28, 16:03
- If Wikipedia doesn't know, then no one does (and Wikipedia doesn't know). - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:38

"I�m the first of many, warns airline �bomber�". Bullsh*t. - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:34 5
- awesome, hopefully they will all be as incompetant as this tard and fail completely -- nm - Beaker Dec 28, 15:45
- it indicates a change in taktics or lack of capebility - Danedukenuuk Dec 28, 15:39
- one, two, many -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 28, 15:38
- they don't always have simultaneous attacks. -- nm - b! Dec 28, 15:35 1
  - but they did that one time. how could they possibly do this one differently? -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 15:38

Next year, we are killing Coke, and relaunching a new drink with the same formula called Pop-Wizz! - dumbest company ever Dec 28, 15:20 10
- The appropriate analogy is... - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:31 9
  - See, how analodies work is you try to come up with a parallel set of events in a different setting. They should match. - TFox Dec 28, 15:33 8
    - The point is: What's more important? The flavor or the brand? -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:35 7
      - So in your analogy, "Fizzy Pop!" with the Coke formula is the good idea, that is going to outsell new-formula Coke? -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 15:36 6
        
        Wait, let me check... Uhm, yeah. I think so. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:39 5
        
        You should start a business. It is your forte. -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 15:40
        
        Actually, the good idea would be the Coca-Cola company keeping the formula, whatever the price, even if it means rebranding "Coke" to "Fizzy Pop". -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:40 3
        
        The good idea is to keep selling Coke, at all costs, whatever is in it, because it is a license to print money. -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 15:41 2
        
        Sure. Go ahead. Change the formula. I wonder how that will turn out. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 28, 15:43 1
        
        They have. Numerous times over the years. Of course, the time they changed the formula and the name was a disaster. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 28, 15:55
