ooohhh, a new tv series with Matt Long in it? - ty97 Jan 1, 09:30 1
- Who? -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Jan 1, 09:32
so is anyone gonna watch/dvr Demons on bbca tomorrow night? and does it have - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:20
Snowboarding bulldogs! -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 09:06
also, I will say this: as someone who travels constantly with two laptops, the apple tablet is kind of a sexy idea to me. - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:04 24
- I'd be surprised if there wasn't built in word processing - stewie Jan 1, 09:33
- i think that, to me, it all depends on what type of OS it is running. if its just a large itouch, not sure i would want that - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:05 22
  - and again, a full OS would allow it to run office applications. but the utility of office apps - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:07 21
    - true. but i already have one of those foldable/rollable usb keyboards - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:11 20
      - I don't know how well it'll work for e-books if it doesn't have e-ink technology. nm - Dignan Jan 1, 09:12 19
        
        i read ebooks on my laptop already, eink is not required. - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:16 9
        
        I guess, if it doesn't bother you. - Dignan Jan 1, 09:20
        
        speaking of, does anyone here have a nook yet? -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:17 7
        
        i was gonna get one, but now i am waiting to se what apple does - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:18
        
        the reviews i saw about the nook were bad (no nookie for me) -- nm - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 09:17 5
        
        I saw those too. this is why I was wondering. (I am so not ready to commit to an ebook reader. I *love* paper. I know though that eventually I will - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:19 4
        
        have you checked to see if any of the reviews you read have been updated since b&n put out an update the week before xmas? - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:21
        
        i hate the term "vook" - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 09:20 2
        
        I don't even know what this is. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:21 1
        
        v/virtual + book = vook! - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 09:22
        
        so true. honestly I think apple sees a hole in the market and is throwing something there to fill it as kind of a placeholder. - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:15 8
        
        Right. With the (surprising?) success of the Kindle, it seems like they saw an opportunity to shift some of the marketing towards this aspect. nm - Dignan Jan 1, 09:18 7
        
        ha. is it surprising to you as well? (I wonder if it surprised amazon, actually.) I can't believe people read books that aren't made of paper. - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:21 6
        
        Huge surprise. That they would sell more e-books than hardcovers? So soon? I still can't believe it. - Dignan Jan 1, 09:25 2
        
        well, I'll say this: ebooks are cheaper than are hardcovers by a factor of half sometimes. so that's not so shocking to me. - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:29 1
        
        gift cards i guess, just like if you gave someone a gift card to borders -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:32
        
        also, i think apple wants to start their own ebook store. i think the idea of people taking business to amazon for books - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:23 2
        
        oh right. ongoing revenue stream. itunes is of course perfect for distribution of this media. - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:27 1
        
        i think if you believe that eink and ebooks are the wave of the future, then apple is looking towards the future - tRuMaN Jan 1, 09:32
The new super mario bros. is very addicting. So much fun, I was up until 5am playing. - Krusty Jan 1, 09:04

  - They've been sent. -- nm - Krusty Jan 1, 09:01 1
    - Thanks, gold on its way to you. -- nm - celedhring Jan 1, 09:09
we watched duplicity last night. it was so poorly crafted. I was pretty disappointed. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 08:26 7
- weird. i started to watch it too. but i stopped after a half hour to go to sleep. i still might finish it but, yeah, it wasn't grabbing -- nm - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 08:28 6
  - There was a lot of plot fireworks, but I found myself not really caring about it. The characters were so unsympathetic. -- nm - celedhring Jan 1, 08:29 5
    - I felt like it couldn't decide which of the gimmicks it wanted to use was the most important. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:00 4
      - I think today or tomorrow is the last day, nice timing on catching the blueprints. -- nm - Krusty Jan 1, 09:10 3
        
        How did this get here? Oops. -- nm - Krusty Jan 1, 09:11 2
        
        Enjoy the trap! It's pretty good. I've used it and the base a few times. -- nm - Krusty Jan 1, 09:17 1
        
        Again?!? Clearly my posting skill were left in 2009. - Krusty Jan 1, 09:30
ooey, my back is sore today. - tRuMaN Jan 1, 08:20 12
- Someone got lucky last night! And kinky. -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 08:47
- I'm just dying today. -- nm - Loyola Jan 1, 08:23 10
  - hangove? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 1, 08:24 9
    - A bit probably but more half drunk with no sleep. Ran out of beer at a house party so we started into the wine at 8am. - Loyola Jan 1, 08:28 6
      - Oh Jesus, I just got word that I have to go to a family dinner in 2 hours. -- nm - Loyola Jan 1, 08:37 5
        
        You are related to Jesus? -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!! Jan 1, 08:44 4
        
        I am his Father. -- nm - Loyola Jan 1, 08:47 3
        
        SPOILERS! -- nm - eag Jan 1, 08:57
        
        Damnit! -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!! Jan 1, 08:49
        
        dear god this year starts great -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 1, 08:49
    - is the verb form? "what are you doing?" "hangoving." -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 08:26 1
      - hmm, no, just typoitiis -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 1, 08:30
So how oes a 6-6 team deserve to be in a New Years Day Bowl game. That makes the Gator Bowl pretty much a joke. -- nm - H-Mogul Jan 1, 08:15 5
- Because they sold out in 2 hours. You think bowls are rewards for quality. Silly you. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 1, 08:27 3
  - I hate sports. -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 08:46 1
    - I don't begrudge a single minor bowl for going for the storyline and money. - Will Hunting Jan 1, 08:59
  - Hangs head! Goes to get more Nog, starts with 3 fingers of Rum. What? I've had breakfast. :) -- nm - H-Mogul Jan 1, 08:45
- Don't get me started. -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 08:20
Happy New Year from Old Europe! - celedhring Jan 1, 08:11
The Rose Parade is starting on ABC and NBC. -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!! Jan 1, 08:06
Please tell me that the first half of season two is the worst The Wire gets. -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 08:03 19
- Season 2 is definitely the weakest. You can *almost* watch the series and skip it. -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 08:37 13
  - I really liked two after the fact. my least favorite (besides 5, which felt really like little more than an afterthought, however necessary) was four. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 08:56 6
    - reeealy? - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 09:00 5
      - was that the school season? that's the one I didn't like so much. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:00 4
        
        (this was very bitchy of me, to ask. I do have google; I apologize.) it was four with which I had trouble. - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 09:10 3
        
        cutty is great - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 09:17
        
        why is it bitchy to ask? when you have a conversation with someone you don't apologise for asking things that you could go and look up. -- nm - stan gable Jan 1, 09:17
        
        I agree, even when a season wasn't what you hoped it would be you still had a character or three that you wanted to see more of and learn more about. -- nm - Krusty Jan 1, 09:16
  - See, I think it stands on its own. - Dignan Jan 1, 08:56 2
    - this is what I was saying below. and likely why I like two as much as I do. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 08:58 1
      - Two is *much* better on the second viewing. nm - Dignan Jan 1, 09:02
  - Yup, it was the weakest season but not completely bad. The show does get back to what it does so well in season 3. -- nm - Krusty Jan 1, 08:53
  - i think 5 is the weakest, plotwise, even though it brings everything together in the end -- nm - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 08:39 1
    - Oh good, that was my next question. -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 08:45
- it's a totally different story arc from season one (although the Barksdales are still there in the background) -- nm - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 08:29 3
  - (but Amy Adams *makes* season two) -- nm - mr. squiggles Jan 1, 08:34 2
    - Yeah, she's a bright spot. - nubby Jan 1, 08:39 1
      - stupid auto-correct - nubby Jan 1, 08:41
- I always had trouble with the first half of seasons too. I was *uninvested.* it's a weird show. right when - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 08:21
I wonder how guaranteed contracts are in the NBA when a player is in jail. Agent Zero...wtf? -- (link) - Will Hunting Jan 1, 07:51 4
- they're gonna have to change their name back. -- nm - mafic Jan 1, 07:54
- The NBA, it's guntastic! -- nm - Beaker Jan 1, 07:53 2
  - They might want to implement a "no guns in the locker room" policy. You never know when they might accidently go off and do humanity a favor. - Mop Jan 1, 08:53
  - and I bet they use some sort of character clause to get out of his ridiculius contract -- nm - Beaker Jan 1, 07:54
Rose Parade! - con_carne Jan 1, 07:47
I think it's because of google and how *clean* it is that bing just bothers me. I just want to search. no pictures please. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 07:40 5
- nods -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 1, 07:50
- MOMS WHO WEAR JEANS THAT MATCH THEIR TEENS' JEANS -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 07:48 3
  - on the next Jerry -- nm - Beaker Jan 1, 07:51
  - sometimes you scare me. -- nm - mafic Jan 1, 07:49 1
    - I hate those ads. -- nm - nubby Jan 1, 08:04
Starting out the New Year with a clogged sewer line...Not a good omen -- nm - BAD Jan 1, 07:37
I'm just now catching up on Ken Burns's "The National Parks". It very effectively exposes the fallacy of libertarianism, supposed over-regulation... - Mop Jan 1, 06:28 2
- I am mandating that my wife and I watch the last two hours of this on the DVR this coming week. 30 minutes a night. Great series but I grow tired of - HdnAgnda Jan 1, 07:09 1
  - The only greater offender on my DVR is all 10 episodes of SNL from this season. Well, that and episodes of Heroes going back to last season. Oh, and - Mop Jan 1, 08:46

  - god, DON'T. DON'T. it's *horrible.* -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 1, 08:24
