my friend mike just told me in IM that his favorite thing about me is that if I type "laughing," he knows I actually am. - amanda lang syne Jan 4, 10:29 7

Personally, I like Atlanta. I think it all depends on where you'd have to work / live. - JaxSean Jan 4, 10:24 6
- the horrible traffic is such a dealbreaker for me. it takes me 35 minutes to go 1.7 miles every morning. that's not ok. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 4, 10:26 5

LIR:STIS&F: DML: I would like a cheap but decent netbook but with a DVD-rom drive. Suggestions? Does not have to be a burner. TIA! - lileve Jan 4, 10:24 5

- Is DVD drive a dealbreaker? My ASUS EeePC meets the other requirements - SyrDragon Jan 4, 10:31 1
  - oh and package says batt life is 7 hrs...it seems around that but I haven't paid that much attention - SyrDragon Jan 4, 10:36

- a) open bar b) pig roast c) that's about all. - amanda lang syne Jan 4, 10:30 3

  - seriously, what you need to do is hold it in Vancouver, send an invitation, and whether she comes is her problem. - loosilu Jan 4, 10:29 1
    - no, see, then she'll come, and I don't want her to. there's also somewhere that I'd quite like that's a either a helicopter ride or a 30km hike, but - mafic Jan 4, 10:32
- I have no idea where I would do it. I figured a church, but I don't like the ones here. Parents' church (where I grew up) is not my idea of fun either - loosilu Jan 4, 10:24

You know what I was wondering recently? Every city has a recognizable skyline, but I couldn't think of one for Atlanta. - con_carne Jan 4, 10:20 23
- Denver has the mailbox building. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 4, 10:25
- Plenty of cities with no recognisable skyline - Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, etc... -- nm - Roger More Jan 4, 10:24 13
  - Dallas has that building with the sphere at the top. -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 4, 10:33
  - I sent out allentown postcards this weekend with photos of the allentown skyline. -- nm - amanda lang syne Jan 4, 10:31 1
    - Soeaking of post cards...I got the Charlotte one with the sparkles. Awesome!! - Jim Jan 4, 10:33
  - I'd say Portland, OR is only recognizable for having Mt. Hood in the background. - znufrii Jan 4, 10:30 2
    - I always look for the Hilton when I look at the Portland skyline. Is Big Pink the new federal building? -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 4, 10:32 1
      - Big Pink is the USBank building. - znufrii Jan 4, 10:35
  - Surely, something has to go on the postcards -- nm - con_carne Jan 4, 10:28
  - San Diego is pretty recognizable, as is Dallas and Philly, imo. - JaxSean Jan 4, 10:27 5
    - YMMV, but to me this is not distinctive -- (link) - Roger More Jan 4, 10:30 4
      - other nondistinctive ones: Boston, Dallas, Miami, Honolulu, Baltimore -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 10:34 3
        
        Boston's Back Bay is pretty distinctive, I think. Downtown, not so much. -- nm - znufrii Jan 4, 10:36 2
        
        I think downtown is more distinctive. Old State House. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 10:37 1
        
        kind of hidden in terms of the skyline, though. -- nm - znufrii Jan 4, 10:38
- Ted Turner's hairline -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 10:22
- I would say, beyond your examples and perhaps a couple others, most cities have relatively generic skylines. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 4, 10:22 1
  - The SlickerTalk logo is Vancouver's skyline, albeit slightly to one side of the normal perspective -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 10:23
- I think you mean landmarks rather than a skyline, yes? -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 10:22 2
  - I think I mean a generic skyline, with one unmistakeable difference/building -- nm - con_carne Jan 4, 10:24 1
    - there's a skyline quiz somewhere on FB. it's hard! -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 10:25
- Which one? -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 10:21
- the delta hub. duh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 10:21

- grilled chicken parm with baby carrots and red potatos. Coffee. Butterscotch pudding. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 10:21
lileve: I'm sure there are netbooks with optical drives, but one of the main ways they slim down is by eliminating that accessory - Beryllium Jan 4, 10:19 4
- It's not so much size as it's a cheaper laptop that I'm looking for. -- nm - lileve Jan 4, 10:25
- i havent seen too many true netbooks with optical drives, usb ones cost around $70 - tRuMaN Jan 4, 10:23 1
  - This is for when I am stuck in the airport and want to surf or watch a dvd. That's pretty much it. -- nm - lileve Jan 4, 10:27
- Do they extrenals that can run off the power from the usb 2.0? -- nm - lileve Jan 4, 10:23
