One more quick Survivor speculative analogy...(spoils) - Jim Feb 12, 10:55 9
- I suspect that - peglegpete Feb 12, 11:04 2
  - I'm really tempted to read the Survivor spoiler sites to find out what happens -- nm - oblique Feb 12, 11:05 1
    - Word. -- nm - Jim Feb 12, 11:06
- On a related note, I was wondering (speculative spoilers) - oblique Feb 12, 10:56 5
  - I assume they can probably (spoils) - Beryllium Feb 12, 11:00
  - I suspect (spoilers) - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 11:00 1
    - spoils - Beryllium Feb 12, 11:01
  - I don't know (spec, spoil, whatever) - Jim Feb 12, 10:59 1
    - My wife joked that they would go over and start filming another person and then be all (spoilers) - oblique Feb 12, 11:01
judgment time in tv town: what shows are on the bubble for getting the axe -- (link) - poochinski Feb 12, 10:53 11
- on that list I watch Chuck, Law & Order, Human Target, Smallville,and sometimes Medium -- nm - crash davis Feb 12, 11:05 3
  - also Better Off Ted, but I thought that was officially over already -- nm - crash davis Feb 12, 11:05 2
    - No "offical" word of it being canceled, but there's about a 0.0001 chace of it being renewed. - JaxSean Feb 12, 11:10
    - and Trish is trying to still hang in there with 24, but I gave it up -- nm - crash davis Feb 12, 11:06
- Of those listed (some I don't believe have any chance of being axed) I''d miss: Flashpoint, L&O, Chuck, Human Target. -- nm - TWuG Feb 12, 11:00
- kill 'em all....nm - x Feb 12, 10:58 1
  - Better Off Ted is inspired comedy, and Community is very well written. I'd save those two. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 11:01
- C'mon Community - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:57 3
  - Yup. That and 24 are the only ones on that list I would miss. (assuming Chuck is as safe as they say) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 12, 11:01 2
    - I haven't watched 24 in years; it can die. Every season brings the absurdity higher. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 11:02 1
      - But (some of) the actors change! - Dr.Vermin Feb 12, 11:07
You'd think there'd be a place in Gmail where you could attach a file from Docs. -- nm - nubby Feb 12, 10:53 11
- I wish Gmail wouldn't be so dickheaded about zip attachments -- nm - zork Feb 12, 10:56 3
  - Or .exe files. :/ -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 12, 10:59
  - Strickly speaking though, Google's "vision" is probably that you wouldn't attach anything but that your documents would be stored in the cloud - oblique Feb 12, 10:58 1
    - Although I agree with nubby - they should have the ability to get your documents from the cloud as easy as from your desktop. - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:59
- I think you do it the other way around. Email from docs, not from gmail -- nm - oblique Feb 12, 10:54 4
  - but, for a company that can search anything on the planet in less than a second ... you should be able to quickly search your docs in a sub-window :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 10:56 3
    - Really, they should know what doc you're going to attach before you do it -- nm - oblique Feb 12, 10:57 2
      - If you're replying to an gmail, you're kind of stuck. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:59
      - yes, with the acquisition of Vark, this is true -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 10:58
- Go to the doc in Google Docs, check box it and select "Email as Attachment" -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:54 1
  - ...from the "Share \/" button. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:55
still looking for a Netmeter version for Mac - how many bytes would internet radio such as cbc.ca consume - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 12, 10:53 2
- Here are some -- (link) - oblique Feb 12, 11:05
- That's miniscule. A live audio stream isn't more than 128kbps (usually 64 or 96). -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 11:02
DC's First Wave is the first alternate reality Batman that I've actually had any interest in reading since Gotham by Gaslight. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 10:52
World Press Photo Awards 2010. (#13 is really good) -- (link) - Loyola Feb 12, 10:50 8
- I still love #3... -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 11:06
- #16. Wow -- nm - flavorize Feb 12, 10:55
- 2, 5, 15, and 19 are my favorites. Lots of good shots though. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 10:55 2
  - the dude that shot 19 has balls of steel. -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 10:58 1
    - I think I like that one the most, then the cricket player. I think those were the best "shots" in the mix - oblique Feb 12, 11:00
- I think 15, 13, and the cricket player are my favs -- nm - CQ Feb 12, 10:54
- "Do you mind?" -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 10:54
- indeed -- nm - oblique Feb 12, 10:53
Hmmm. The "Daddening" of video games. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 12, 10:46

- Bush still blamed for the encomy. -- (link) - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 10:52
- This reminds me again that PK is no more, and I get another warm smile across my face. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 10:52
- yes, but how many want *their* congressman re-elected? -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 10:47 1
  - (Exhibit A in the case for term limits, imho.) -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 10:53
survivor spoils - Beryllium Feb 12, 10:45 2
- Obviously the heroes played their picks towards the first half of the challenge while the villains played for the second (spoilers) - oblique Feb 12, 10:47 1
  - spoils - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 12, 10:54
mmm, Michael Fassbender in a Gladiator movie. And we showed a 3D Porn Film (with John Holmes) at the Maryland Film Festival. -- nm - Dano Feb 12, 10:40 7
- did you already - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 12, 10:46
- as I had no idea it existed, you've clearly not educated me enough -- nm - crash davis Feb 12, 10:45
- blonde emmanuelle!...nm - x Feb 12, 10:41 4
  - Yes, though I think our print was titled Hot Skin. But it's the same movie. -- nm - Dano Feb 12, 10:43 3
    - Here's the page for it from the festival. -- (link) - Dano Feb 12, 10:44 2
      - oh, it's the same one iowa wanted to show. i forgot it was also "disco dolls in hot skin"... - x Feb 12, 10:52
      - " Arsenio Hall says, "I give it a Thumbs Out!" " -- nm - crash davis Feb 12, 10:46
April 20 is the tentative date for real $ cantorexchange. -- nm - ceregon Feb 12, 10:39 3
- April 20 of which year? -- nm - zork Feb 12, 10:57
- If only I had some real money for it. -- nm - Inigo Feb 12, 10:47
- just in time for the summer season - poochinski Feb 12, 10:41
Kobe got off light with that rock. Tiger's giving Elin a make-up *yacht* -- (link) - poochinski Feb 12, 10:38 1
- i love the name. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 10:39
District 9 was a much better story than Star Trek - especially when you think of the international stage of the Oscars. - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:33 2
- Star Trek was good enough and I really disliked District 9. Neither are oscar nomination worthy imo. -- nm - Loyola Feb 12, 10:37 1
  - [deleted]
HWDYK LYC - prayformojo Feb 12, 10:32 1
- Masterpiece of a film. -- nm - Loyola Feb 12, 10:52
And the other thing is tracking *Adverse Weather Condition Exception* outside of Worcester, MA. - Diva Feb 12, 10:32
Crash, I don't know that D9's story was better than Trek's either. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:31 25
- as for Trek's story, I detected some major temporal disturbances in established canon - we've seen D9's story before but putting it in a new setting - crash davis Feb 12, 10:35 3
  - I'm not surprised by D9's nomination; I think they had to give a sci-fi movie a nom and it's quality enough with the buzz. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:40 2
    - though Avatar would have filled the sci-fi slot if they felt they had to give one out :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 12, 10:43 1
      - Avatar filled the "Jeebus god almighty think of the ratings" slot. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:44
- Before seeing D9, I had no idea that dickholes act like dickholes. That movie taught me a *lot*. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 10:34 10
  - given the history of South Africa, i think it ran a lil bit deeper than that -- nm - poochinski Feb 12, 10:35 9
    - Another thing I learned: apartheid happened. See what I mean? It was like a textbook with aliens in it. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 10:36 8
      - Wouldn't america be better off if all the textbooks had aliens in them to keep it interesting? - Beryllium Feb 12, 10:38
      - it's one thing to know it happened, it's quite another to be willing to explore the very real implications of it. -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 10:38 6
        
        Because when I think "very real", I think "aliens with valuable weapons tech hiding in a slum". -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 10:40 3
        
        The aliens that survived were the lower caste, and they were pretty dumb and subjugated. - Beryllium Feb 12, 10:42
        
        you should probably just give up sci-fi now if that's your standard -- nm - poochinski Feb 12, 10:41 1
        
        I quite enjoyed District 9. Fourth best sci-fi movie of the year! -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 10:41
        
        I guess I didn't feel they handled the implications as well as others seem to think they did. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:39 1
        
        that's a fair criticism. - znufrii Feb 12, 10:42
- If that's the story you got from District 9, I think you missed the point. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:34 8
  - I don't exactly buy anything the main character was in for; it's the same basic structure as Avatar imo - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:38 7
    - I still don't think that's the message the movie was trying to portray. Forgive me since it's been 6 months since I've seen it, but (spoils) - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:47 6
      - It just didn't work for me .... I didn't get his epiphany in your manner (spoils) - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:52 5
        
        from your IM (spoils) - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:58 4
        
        wow, this isn't right. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 11:02 1
        
        Which? Like I said, it's been 7 months+ (?) since I've seen it. That's just how I'm remembering it right now. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 11:08
        
        No; he (spoils) - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:59 1
        
        Either way - JaxSean Feb 12, 11:07
- oh it was better -- nm - poochinski Feb 12, 10:32
v-day hax chat q: she's told him it's time to fish or cut bait about marrying her. he says he didn't realize she was waiting for a proposal! - poochinski Feb 12, 10:31 19
- I still don't see the point of getting married until you're ready to have a baby. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 12, 10:59 1
  - To get a bunch of stuff. Duh. -- nm - mara Feb 12, 11:07
- wow. dude is totally clueless. -- nm - mafic Feb 12, 10:41
- Dear dummy; you're hardly single if you have a girlfriend. -- nm - Loyola Feb 12, 10:40
- This is another example that makes me think people make some of these up. -- nm - Inigo Feb 12, 10:39
- Dude's an idiot. - Ender Feb 12, 10:38 2
  - and he's trying to remain somehow not responsible for the situation by blaming her for not giving him 'warning'. -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 10:41 1
    - "honey, if you ever want me to propose to you, don't just go all mental on me out of the blue" -- nm - poochinski Feb 12, 10:42
- you're 36 and had no clue? are you slow? -- nm - crash davis Feb 12, 10:38
- I thought we'd just spontaneously be married one day. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 10:37 1
  - exactly! -- nm - JackDawson as znufrii si Feb 12, 10:38
- I want to know why he wants another year or two single. - b. Feb 12, 10:34 4
  - you and Haxy both! - poochinski Feb 12, 10:36 2
    - he's waiting to see if something else 'better' comes along. - Diva Feb 12, 10:40 1
      - I wonder if it's more about having kids, since he makes that connection. -- nm - b. Feb 12, 10:41
  - I like that he terms her telling him she wants to get married as a 'warning'. -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 10:35
- Is this rocket science? A. She'll break up if you're not ready to get married. B. You're not ready to get married. C. Break up. -- nm - mara Feb 12, 10:33
- 4yrs....he's had his time to use the stay single rationale. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:33 1
  - But it's just one more season -- nm - Uncle Owen Feb 12, 10:34
LIR - mara, they can predict the chance of rain a week out and usually get it right. but not snow? - sycor Feb 12, 10:28 2
- No, they *did* see it coming and chose not to tell you. That's where the profit comes in. Don't be so naive. -- nm - mara Feb 12, 10:30 1
  - good point. Weather man must have stock in the dairy market since everyone runs to buy milk. -- nm - sycor Feb 12, 10:31
Wait, so is tru's crazy chick real or not? -- nm - Inigo Feb 12, 10:28

Brian Keith Dalton (Mr. Diety) at a humanist symposium. Talks about how radical Islam today is what Christianity was in Europe 500 years ago. -- (link) - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 10:27 [youtube] 7
- Things would really go a lot smoother if only there were a Muslim Pope... -- nm - Ender Feb 12, 10:31 3
  - The Muslim Pope and Catholic Pope could have one-on-one basketball games. Or wrestle. Or maybe bowl. -- nm - mara Feb 12, 10:37 1
    - paintball -- nm - zork Feb 12, 11:00
  - The Grand Imam in Egypt comes closest, and he's very progressive compared to some of the nut jobs out there. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 10:36
- yeah, that'll go over well... -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 10:28 2
  - I think you can sell it on the back of "Christianity 500 years ago was largely Catholic, and the Catholics are evil." - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 10:31 1
