Omega Man, w/Charlton Heston.. Is it worth seeing, after one's seen I Am Legend... ? -- nm - Facto Jan 4, 19:14 7
- Indeed. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 19:40
- I think so. It's somewhat dated, but it's part of Heston's great 3 Sci Fi Films (Apes and Soylent Green being the others) -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 19:18

- I was just going to post that. Interesting. I'm starting to wonder if Lowell is just going to get cut. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 19:13 1
  - Or, if taking Beltre off the market is an odd way of trying to increase the market for Lowell. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 19:16
I just saw a midget get kicked in the head on TV. -- nm - Diva Jan 4, 19:08 10

  - Because he's The Miz and he's awesome. -- nm - Tim Jan 4, 18:35 1
    - I like him. -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 18:48
- it's the new TNA where all the young guy...oh. -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 18:33

TMZ: Casey Johnson, heir to the Johnson&Johnson fortune and recent "fiance" of Tila Tequila, has died. Case of death undetermined. -- (link) - Hotkiss Jan 4, 18:28
Johnson and Johnson heiress Casey Johnson has died... - Remlik Jan 4, 18:28 3
- damnit, beat by 10 seconds! -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 4, 18:29 2
  - but you had the link! -- nm - nubby Jan 4, 18:34 1
    - yeah, links triple the points earned -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 4, 18:38
so I got the Netgear powerline adapters....looking at my input of the net in the house.... - Remlik Jan 4, 18:23 6
- oh and they came with cables. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 18:31
- It goes in the router, not the cable modem. I thought the same thing at first. -- nm - David Jan 4, 18:29
- dear god no. connect the powerline adaptor to the router via ethernet. plug in powerline to wall outlet - tRuMaN Jan 4, 18:25 3
  - so any ethernet slot on my router is good. thanks Tru! -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 18:27 2
    - yes, the powerline adapators basically act as a long ethernet cable. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 4, 18:30 1
      - thanks again and you to David. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 18:30
holy crap. They didn't waste any time. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 18:09 13
- Meanwhile TNA has had guys talking for the last 20 minutes at least. -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 18:09 12
  - Of course there's a lot of talk. Almost everyone they added to the roster this week is old. -- nm - David Jan 4, 18:16 3
    - seriously, that's their major issue. They are the CBS of wrestling. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 18:16 2
      - But CBS is beating NBC by a wide margin, isn't it? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 18:17 1
        
        shhh, don't ruin my analogy with facts -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 18:18
  - At least 10 minutes of commercials too, plus 8 shots of the Hogan 'motorcade' -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 18:11 7
    - What's embarassing is the best guys in TNA could wrestle circles around the best guys in WWE. - Tim Jan 4, 18:14 6
      - now if you were talking drug users I think TNA wins in a walk. Shit Hardy and Hall could take everyone. -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 18:19
      - I think it'd be an even draw to be honest. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 18:18 2
        
        Based on what I've seen, TNA's athletes run circles around the WWE. The problem is that they are utterly lacking in charisma. -- nm - David Jan 4, 18:47 1
        
        I think the WWE has some guys that could run with them. Especially the younger guys. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 18:48
      - not sure i would believe that. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 4, 18:17
      - I don't know about that. I like some of TNA's guys, but... -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 18:16
If Hart hates Vince so much, why is he hosting? -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 18:03 4
- money. Plus he and Vince buried the hatchet a couple years back in real life. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 18:05
- Turns out, he loves money more than he hates vince. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 18:04 1
  - that and he just had a divorce from the Italian chick that took a lot of his money. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 18:07
- $$ -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 18:04
So a guy was arrested for cutting unsuspecting women's hair off their head while riding the bus. What was he charged with. - Redmond Jan 4, 18:03 13

- spoilers - Redmond Jan 4, 18:11 1
  - what about barbery without a license (they used to harrass the hippies in CA for doing hair wraps because that was supposed to be done by beauticians -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 4, 18:42
- Sexual Hairassment? -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 18:06 2
  - Ah, *this* is why you use ST as a comedy lab. - TFox Jan 4, 18:07 1
    - Sometimes I have to let the inner Fozzie Bear out to play. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 18:09
- What was he charged with? - Redmond Jan 4, 18:04 1
  - robbery? -- nm - znufrii Jan 4, 18:07
- Assault. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 18:04 2
  - This was my guess as well, but it's wrong. -- nm - Redmond Jan 4, 18:04 1
    - Can't be for a bad haircut. Too many violations to cover -- nm - the liioulu with too much clothing Jan 4, 18:05

SITWAP: Avatar is opening in China tonight. Access to another 1.3 billion people!! $$$ -- nm - Redmond Jan 4, 17:58 3
- They all have to see it. They only charge $1 per ticket. - the liioulu with too much clothing Jan 4, 18:02 2
  - what do you mean "within minutes"? I'm pretty sure it's already widely distributed over that way :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 18:03 1
    - Okay......of opening here. ;) - the liioulu with too much clothing Jan 4, 18:58
LYC: the VA employment commission has FINALLY qualified me for UI. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 17:58 4

- Yay, regular checks are nice! Do you have to documents your job seach there? So far I don't have to, but I guess that kicks in after an - MojaveMeg Jan 4, 18:20 2
  - yep, pretty detailed. pain in the butt. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 18:30 1
    - Oooh, this reminded me - I should have mailed my claim form today... -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 4, 18:40
Damn you NBC for cancelling My Name Is Earl. Your recent ratings is Karma biting you in the ass. -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 17:56 2
- I, too, am still bitter about that. - the liioulu with too much clothing Jan 4, 17:59 1
  - yeah, I always enjoyed that one -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 4, 18:44
truman: Looks like I'll be going out for dinner, so MW2 will have to wait until later in the evening -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 17:52 1
- did she give you a schedule? - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:54
hall looks drugged out. which i guess is his normal look, but still -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:51 3
- yeah. I wish he'd get it cleaned up. He has a great mind for the business...but he can't control the demons. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 17:54 2
  - and really, xpac, seriously? - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:54 1
    - heh. funny. WWE has asked USA for overrun time -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 17:59
Oh right, Cena won't be on Raw as he's something or other with the Fiesta Bowl. - Tim Jan 4, 17:47 1
- coin toss. -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 17:48
I'm trading for the first time since the Orange fiasco. I like this new layout. Better than the original, I dare say. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 4, 17:47
so is anybody gonna buy a $1000 Apple tablet? -- nm - stewie Jan 4, 17:47 16
- I'm behind the curve....what's the point of tablets? -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 17:52 10
  - It's an iPhone with less pinching. -- nm - psilotum Jan 4, 17:54 9
    - i guess that all depends on what rumor you belive. some say it will be itouch os, others say full OS. ty should go to gizmodo or engadget and search - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:56 8
      - It's not just Apple, though, right? There are rumors of other vendors making tablets. What's the tablet market's angle? -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 17:57 7
        
        I love my iPod touch. It mostly gets used at home, though, and I'd be delighted if the screen was twice as big. -- nm - psilotum Jan 4, 18:00
        
        well, yes and no. some tablets are basically mini pcs without a keyboard. others are like the kindle, only do specific things. - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:59
        
        opening up the world of printed media to being pirated and then complaining about it... -- nm - stewie Jan 4, 17:57 4
        
        you realize that ebooks have been available via torrent sites for over 5 yrs now right? - tRuMaN Jan 4, 18:00 1
        
        uh yeah... but the market is slim to none - stewie Jan 4, 18:03
        
        no they are not notebook replacements, then. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 17:59 1
        
        They certainly could be. But I don't think Apple would do that. -- nm - psilotum Jan 4, 18:02
- no,, but i might buy a $600 apple tablet - tRuMaN Jan 4, 17:49 4
  - the WSJ story seems to be the most credible (and recent) - stewie Jan 4, 17:54 3
    - Is the software more like a Mac, an iPhone, or something in the middle? -- nm - psilotum Jan 4, 17:55 2
      - tis the question. i would guess the middle, sorta like windows mobile. also, many credible sources have said there would be two editions, like - tRuMaN Jan 4, 18:02
      - I'm guessing in the middle... neither end seems reasonable -- nm - stewie Jan 4, 17:57

- What the heck is it? - the liioulu with too much clothing Jan 4, 17:47
- I provided a link! -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 17:46
The guys calling the Fiesta Bowl are pretty awful -- nm - prayformojo Jan 4, 17:41 1

WWE should reshow Owen Hart v British Bulldog for the first European Title. Still one of my top 5 matches all time -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 17:39 8
- TNA spoiler - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 4, 18:01 1
  - Jesus, Scott Hall looks like a monster. Either he grew a foot or Hogan has shrunk -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 18:02
- If they have Shawn and Bret face to face, they win. TNA could have just about anything else and lose. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 17:39 5
  - I still hope Vince does the All-Wrestling Channel. -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 17:40 4
    - There's WWE On Demand on some cable services, but not many I believe. -- nm - Tim Jan 4, 17:43
    - I haven't heard a lot of that recently, but he's got the vast majority of the libraries. I think the only biggie outstanding is TNA's. - Will Hunting Jan 4, 17:41 2
      - I think he doesn't have some of the Old School Florida stuff where Dusty was and one library is just gone..a Georgia library... -- nm - Remlik Jan 4, 17:44
      - Yeah, Vince owns virtually everything outside of TNA and all the indie stuff. - Tim Jan 4, 17:43
