Pre-K teacher asks class if they know who John McCain is. Particularly precocious, soon to be 5 yr old raises her hand ... - sheba Oct 15, 10:09 13
- Sounds like the teacher needs to learn about respecting the parents and how they raise their kids -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 15, 10:43

  - She's ready for ST! -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 15, 10:18
  - they've already achieved the level of political discourse necessary for adulthood!....nm - x Oct 15, 10:18 1
    - I know, right? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 10:20
  - Too funny! No doubt we are scarring our children for life by exposing them to politics at such an early age. LOL -- nm - sheba Oct 15, 10:16 1
    - I was politically aware from a very young age and it didn't hurt m... oh. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 10:29
- Is this your kid? Good for him/her. The teacher ought to be reprimanded. - Don Homer Oct 15, 10:11 2
  - Oh, and Reese is a girl. The light of my life. :) -- nm - sheba Oct 15, 10:12
  - You have no idea how hard it was to keep from asking her if was having this discussion in class because she couldn't cut with grown ups. -- nm - sheba Oct 15, 10:12
Hiya Guys. I see a couple of trades gone thru HSX. Is there a secret way in or something? -- nm - grammar Oct 15, 10:07

Hank Williams "McCain-Palin Tradition" -- (link) - CrankYanker Oct 15, 09:59 [youtube]
Justin Timberlake "You can vote in the box" -- (link) - CrankYanker Oct 15, 09:57
The "Yoga Toes" banner is kinda creepy. It looks like a plain old toe separater, like for polishing your nails. - sheba Oct 15, 09:54
How quaint! Mad Men Jeopardy! -- (link) - Mop Oct 15, 09:54
Dion attacks CTV News. (I've found them to be very favourable to Harper and the Conservatives myself, at least their website anyway) -- (link) - Beaker Oct 15, 09:51 1
- airing that one clip was extremely shaky, from a journalistic ethics standpoint. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:55
hey trish, your right, its probably tension. - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:47
There we go again. -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 15, 09:45
If threads get really "wide" on ST, does anyone else see the font getting smaller? - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:42 35
- sure. but why does st leave so much white space on the right side of the screen? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:45 25
  - I can't think of a good way to use that space. Not wrapping subjects at a decent width makes them very hard to read. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:47 22
    - you only have the table set to be 610px wide. why not just make it bigger? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:49 16
      - Because then it looks ugly. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:00
      - maybe it should be custimizable to our login. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:51 14
        
        You mean like in the "Change Info" page? That could probably be easily implemented. - JaxSean Oct 15, 10:01 4
        
        Unfortunately, the logo won't stretch ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:02 2
        
        make the logo fade to gray and just put a gray background in the table cell. - JaxSean Oct 15, 10:09 1
        
        Sounds like a good idea. I'll see what I can do. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:26
        
        CHANGE WE NEED! -- nm - Obama Oct 15, 10:01
        
        isn't there a function in php to get the monitor settings? - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:53 8
        
        using javascript, yes, but visual layout stuff is no small undertaking. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:53 7
        
        huh, ok. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:55 6
        
        when does this thing shrink the font? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:57 5
        
        when it works ... now -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:58 4
        
        follow the yellow brick road, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road -- nm - munchkins Oct 15, 10:00 1
        
        hhheeellpp mmmeeee! hhhheellllllppp mmmeeee! -- nm - The Fly Oct 15, 10:12
        
        when? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 10:00 1
        
        Hrm, so it's got two bugs. The tenth level should be small, and it needs to keep track of the entrance and exit values of the counter. Hrm. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:01
    - true, but since they wrap already at a certain size. - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:48 3
      - I could put ST in the center, and have white space on both sides, but ... people wouldn't like that. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:49
      - I run it on a 24" Widescreen, so I have a lot of space. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:49 1
        
        I'm on my laptop, which is widescreen, and it has lots of space as well. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:49
    - more ads? Keep the money flowing! :) -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 09:47
  - racist -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 15, 09:46 1
    - lol -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:46
- How many yards have you had today? -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 15, 09:45
- It's a feature to prevent the layout from breaking. I think there might be a minor bug in it, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:44 2
  - ah. I guess that makes sense. It's weird looking. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:45 1
    - Indeed. And it's not behaving entirely correctly - for example, zork's post should be regular size. - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:46
- Yep...it's been there for a while...I guess to stop the board from getting obnoxiously wide when a thread goes long. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 09:44 1
  - Also, as someone pointed out yesterday, you can read it in a munchkin voice. Which should make fighty threads pretty hilarious. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:45
- Bery was explaining before that it's a feature. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 15, 09:43
- actually, it's happening on zork & krusty's posts down below. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:42 1
  - the code shows [b class="tinylist"]zork [/b] [i class="tinylist"]... -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:44
MSNBC - Nancy Reagan is in the hospital. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 15, 09:34 5
- this is what happens when tt suddenly comes back from the dead. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:35 4
  - Cats and dogs living together. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 15, 09:42 1
    - mass hysteria !!! -- nm - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 15, 10:14
  - Might be a hairline fracture in her pelvis. She got up in the middle of the night, twisted her foot and fell. Pain persisted over the next couple - CrankYanker Oct 15, 09:40 1
    - good. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:46
So the NDP did that that seat in Alberta. - Reagen Oct 15, 09:24 7
- And the multi-coloured map is always my favourite part of any election. -- (link) - Reagen Oct 15, 09:32
- *waves bye bye to Dion* Next please. Least they have a Trudeau waiting in the wings now... -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 09:26 5
  - There's no way he goes before the next election. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:27 4
    - maybe, maybe not. but where there is smoke... -- (link) - Beaker Oct 15, 09:37 3
      - and another -- (link) - Beaker Oct 15, 09:39 2
        
        eh, you can never tell these things the morning after. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:41 1
        
        true, but it's been in the wind ever since his Green Shift Plan exploded in his face -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 09:43
Wow. 538's numbers are impressive. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 09:18 3
- especially watching the simulation tracker push through the 380 EV wall - znufrii Oct 15, 09:25 2
  - Seriously, McCain is really going to knock Obama down a few pegs to make a difference - amoxy Oct 15, 09:37 1
    - at this point, obama just has to look and act presidential - tRuMaN Oct 15, 09:46
So the latest Windows Update was apparently the last straw for my computer - Reagen Oct 15, 09:17
Now TT see,s dead again -- nm - amoxy Oct 15, 09:15 27
- I just posted -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 09:29
- Seems to still be working. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 15, 09:29
- I'm feeling much better.... -- nm - TT Oct 15, 09:26
- It's going in and out... GO TOWARDS THE LIGHT TT!!! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 09:19
- And lets watch the turncoats slither back in... - Mel Profit Oct 15, 09:19 1
  - heh -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:28
- It's just pining for the fjords. -- nm - BB Oct 15, 09:18 1

- Did anyone get a screen capture of the last board? -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:18 18
  - Spawn did, when we all thought it was the last board -- (link) - Roger More Oct 15, 09:33 [flickr] 11
    - I saw that one, since it appears to be gone again I was wondering about the one from today. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:35 10
      - It's still there at the moment. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 09:39 9
        
        I can't get to it. No links or addresses work for me. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:43 8
        
        Really? This one worked for me just now. -- (link) - TaurusII Oct 15, 09:45 7
        
        404 Not Found -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:46 6
        
        Weird... but don't worry, we aren't talking about you. I swear. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 09:50 1
        
        He's gone! Yay!!! - Krusty Oct 15, 09:54
        
        Been that way for about 15 min. at least. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:46 3
