    - They need a contract modification. - psilotum Nov 19, 11:08

    - Saddens me to hear this. I loved my satrad - ty97 Nov 19, 11:09
    - Yeah, without the growth from the car sector, they are in for tough times. - decline Nov 19, 11:08
    - unless they work their way onto cellphones. That's the only avenue of expansion I can see, really. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:02
  - can you translate that to english please? -- nm - M Nov 19, 11:01 4
    - You own 10 shares today. Tomorrow, they take those 10, and give you one new share, worth 10 times as much as your old shares. - psilotum Nov 19, 11:02
    - They are going to issue one new share for each old ones, effectively multiplying stock price by 10 (but without increasing actual value) - celedhrymandias Nov 19, 11:02 1

ST Poll #everything is for sale -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 10:52 9

  - family, body parts. other than that if you went high enough, you'd probably reach my breaking point. -- nm - mafic Nov 19, 10:55 3
    - I'd sell a body part for enough money. Canada is probably different but in the US we don't "own" our family. ;P -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:56 1
      - people still get sold. I'm just saying if someone offered me $50 million for my (as yet nonexistent) child, I'd say no. -- nm - mafic Nov 19, 10:58
    - I guess you can't really sell family members since you don't own them, but I haven't thought about body parts... -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 10:56
Oh - it has arrived! -- nm - Dano Nov 19, 10:51

  - That's Taurus II -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 11:16
  - heckuva linebacker back in the day -- nm - crash davis Nov 19, 11:03 1
    - Lilly Tomlin played linebacker? (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 11:10
- Mop slyly segues this into a sneaky (and not at all creepy) "Is lileve on Facebook?" post. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:53 1
  - she is. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:55
- I am waiting for the day someone mocks up a fake Facebook page and pretends to be Spawn -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 10:53 4

    - My goodness! I hadn't thought of that! -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 11:03
  - I think I've already found pictures. We're good to go. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:54
- he thinks he's too cool. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:52
- its a point of honor with him to not be there -- nm - crash davis Nov 19, 10:51 2
  - I wish I'd had the strength to resist. As it is, I've blocked every single application I've received invites for. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:53 1
    - its your choice, but some of those are fun -- nm - crash davis Nov 19, 10:58
- you need to search under "Spawn." - El Fandie Nov 19, 10:51
Re ST Somalia Poll: E) I think all port and harbor faclities on the Somalian coast should be bombed. nm - Jovian Nov 19, 10:50 6
- "i say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit" -- nm - prayformojo Nov 19, 10:57
- keyboard commandos, assemble!....nm - x Nov 19, 10:55
- Twice. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 19, 10:54
- all righty then. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:52
- as rational as ever. -- nm - mafic Nov 19, 10:51 1
  - well, it's jovian. He'd probably just show up, and then the pirates would bomb their own ports. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:53
there aint no good guy. there aint no bad guy. there's only you and me and we just disagree...nm - x Nov 19, 10:49
kilbo: I think you or someone else said that the issue would sort itself out, as traffic to the area self-rerouted elsewhere - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:49 14
- problem is, if you avoid the gulf of Aden, then you have to south around Africa which takes weeks more - decline Nov 19, 10:54 3
  - But it's a free market solution. Isn't that what the US is all about? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:56 2
    - "You keep using that word. I do not believe it means what you think it means." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 19, 11:03 1
      - It means that there should be no state intervention, as far as I know. Which would mean rerouting or private contracting. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:11
- only problem is that adds probably 2 weeks onto most of these boat's journeys, which increases costs substantially, and guess who pays for that? -- nm - mafic Nov 19, 10:51 3
  - well, as it is we're already paying for lost ships/cargo. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:55 1
    - Which circles back to "How do we solve the piracy problem?" -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 19, 11:05
  - I didn't say it was my suggestion :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:52
- The problem is, the pirates are expanding North, South and farther into the Indian ocean. There is currently no deterent. -- nm - TWuG Nov 19, 10:50
- And much higher prices of shipping for everyone else! Wonderful solution. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 19, 10:50 4
  - well, luckily freight shipping costs are down 90% since may due to a total collapse in traffic....nm - x Nov 19, 11:05
  - It's a free-market solution. Shouldn't you be in favour of that? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:52 2
    - You misuse "free-market solution" here. Are you suggesting that the higher prices will result in corrective solutions to the problem? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 19, 11:00 1
      - No, I'm saying that the higher prices are the unavoidable result of the corrective solution. - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:06
ST Cooks: I'm thinking about getting a crock pot. Any fave brands? -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 10:48 18
- I've always wanted to learn how to crock cook... - Mel Profit Nov 19, 11:03 5
  - I'm pretty sure it goes: Put meat + potatoes + veggies in pot. Turn on. Wait -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 11:06 2
    - ayup. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 11:14
    - exactly. and you can do tons of stuff with it. I do chili, and pot roast, and chicken, and pulled pork - decline Nov 19, 11:11
  - We can store it in my "special corner" when we're not using it. : ) -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 11:04 1
    - you get the corner and you'll like it! - Mel Profit Nov 19, 11:13

  - There was this weird part of me that hoped you'd be linking this pic from your Flicker page. I know - weird. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 10:53 1
    - Heh, nope. (That specific crock pot comes with a bonus teeny tiny crock, so you can heat dips in it.) -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 10:57
  - Oh, there is a *brand* called Crock Pot? Didn't know. -- nm - con_carne Nov 19, 10:53 1
    - That's RIVAL. And there's an online mail in rebate -- (link) - VMan Nov 19, 10:54
- I've got a Rival (5.5qt) and it works great -- nm - decline Nov 19, 10:50
- I don't know brands, just get as large a size as possible. -- nm - ceregon Nov 19, 10:49
- Mine have always been RIVAL. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 10:49
Ars Technica says that L4D is a game you *need* to have -- (link) - oblique Nov 19, 10:48 2
- I saw the 1Up Show review. Looked terribly difficult. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:51 1
  - Ars made it seem super-basic but random so infinitely playable -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 10:52
I want to have lunch with RC's Mom - ty97 Nov 19, 10:47 1
- Breakfast is better. - Dr.Vermin Nov 19, 10:49
see, this is how you roll the boards -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 10:47 6
- Board Roll 1-0-1. -- nm - Hammed Uzi Nov 19, 10:47
- How facile. [scoff] -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 19, 10:47 3
  - Dr. Scoff? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:48 2
    - Fired it off? -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 10:48 1
      - in the buff with Hasselhoff ? -- nm - Hammed Uzi Nov 19, 10:49
