Mens moguls made me real happy yesterday as one day into the Olympics, I was real sick of that one storyline. - crash davis Feb 15, 12:42 7
- I didn't realize Lindsey Vonn skiied in the men's moguls last night. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 15, 12:44 6
  - She is as HD-friendly as any actress in Hollywood. What a beautiful, beautiful woman. -- nm - David Feb 15, 12:46 1
    - Plus, if she takes off her clothes again, no one will care when she doesn't qualify for the downhill finals. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 15, 12:49
  - (Just teasing. I know what-of you speak.) -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 15, 12:44 3
    - I was rooting for Jen Heil (sp?) so Costas would STFU -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 12:45 2
      - I don't think the Canadian media made as much of a big deal. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 15, 12:49 1
        
        Ha. I say Ha. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 12:51
I really hate it when skating judging lives down to Hunting's expectations. - crash davis Feb 15, 12:32 14
- The two couples falling down yet scoring 10 points higher than the ones who didn't was a joke. I realize DoD is a factor, but it shouldn't -that- much -- nm - David Feb 15, 12:48 2
  - They should have been penalized much more for scrapping an entire element in a technical program. It's embarrassing. -- nm - Diva Feb 15, 12:49
  - a massive joke -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 12:48
- we swear on a stack of bibles, we've reformed! :( -- nm - French judges Feb 15, 12:38

        until then, I didn't realize there was something you and pixie agreed upon -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 12:40
      - Mmmm, Kiira. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 15, 12:37
  - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 12:34
- I was pleasantly surprised in the women's moguls that the judging seemed legit. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 12:33 1
  - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 12:41

nmbKilbo: deck building question - SyrDragon Feb 15, 12:28 4
- btw, gave the kids their valentine's gifts which included single cards I bought online to make two new decks for them. We're planning on going to the - oblique Feb 15, 12:36 2
  - I got my singles from here - SyrDragon Feb 15, 12:45 1
    - If you haven't already. Hook with a local weekly league. It's a great way to playtest with others plus ample trading opportunity - oblique Feb 15, 12:47
- I think what you have sounds about right. A really nice part of the new HGSS (HeartGold/SoulSilver) series is they added a Double Colorless Energy - oblique Feb 15, 12:30
Are these snowboard cross guys wearing jeans? -- nm - Diva Feb 15, 12:23 4
- Yes, looks like it. If I had to guess, I'd say they might be special jeans with extra reinforcement. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 12:29 2
  - ToughSkins? -- nm - Diva Feb 15, 12:50
  - (I know there are some biker jeans like that) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 12:29
- just the ones from Jersey -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 12:26
mmm ... lunch. Risotto, plus mashed potatoes and gravy ... delish. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 12:23
LYC Olympics summary: Ski jump: Boring. Speed Skating: Excellent. Luge: Too morbid to watch. Women's Mogul: Meh - oblique Feb 15, 12:21 10
- I like the moguls a lot. Luge is nuts. Ski jump is a bit boring. The figure skating yesterday was so dull. - Krusty Feb 15, 12:34 1
  - the short programs are never as fun as the long programs, and pairs always is a bit slower musically than singles -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 12:40
- Men's moguls were awesome. And I didn't find the luge morbid at all; the changes they made slowed it down ... the only tough part was the finish line. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 12:28 7
  - yeah, the luge wasn't morbid, just boring unless you want to know which German will finish above the other German - crash davis Feb 15, 12:34 6
    - I will say, some of the comments from the IOC and the competitors were among the more assholish things I've heard in a while. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 12:35 5
      - unfortunately that death has slightly tainted an otherwise superlative start to the Olympics -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 12:38 4
        
        Did they ever get the cauldron fixed? - Will Hunting Feb 15, 12:40 3
        
        that one was never meant to last beyond the OC. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 12:50 1
        
        Oh.....okay. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 15, 12:51
        
        it seemed okay when they did an exterior shot yesterday -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 12:41
So I know I'm probably like 2 years behind you guys but I stumbled into Lala (online music service) this weekend. I was pretty impressed - oblique Feb 15, 12:17
*Checks his trap* *still no tiger mouse* - celedhring Feb 15, 12:16
hey truman, if you're around re: Dragon Age Origins - crash davis Feb 15, 12:15 7
- good. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 12:42 1
  - also you missed some smallville stuff a couple of boards back. - tRuMaN Feb 15, 12:50
- there is a Supernatural thread down below - Epiphany Feb 15, 12:21 4
  - last week's was good, but I think most of this season has been inspired writing -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 12:32 3
    - I think I have personal issues with Angels/God and it's reflecting back on my enjoyment - HAAA!! *spoils* - Epiphany Feb 15, 12:43 2

Also ready for me this week: The audiobook version of Flash Forward. Should be interesting -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 12:13 5
- not if it's at all faithful to the show -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 12:14 4
  - c'mon pixie--turn that frown upside down....nm - x Feb 15, 12:19
  - it's not. But it's dull in its own unique way. - Reagen Feb 15, 12:16
  - You're Mr. Downy McDownerson today -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 12:15 1

Ok TFox. You're on the hook for two hours of my life this week. Now shipping: Moon -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 12:11 2
- 90 minutes. Easy breezy. -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 12:12

Lohan as Jesus? The end is here! Save yourselves! -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 12:06

i know what will get the board moving: blind items! -- (link) - poochinski Feb 15, 11:57 9
- C&P! -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 12:04
- "one of the more famous movies" = Kate Hudson -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 12:04 3
  - She's not C list. I bet it's Fairuza Balk. nm - Dignan Feb 15, 12:23 2
    - never GG nominated. - Reagen Feb 15, 12:25 1
      - Oh, right. - Dignan Feb 15, 12:32

    - jaxsean? -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 12:01
okay canucks, i'll throw you a bone: i sincerely hope your hockey team beats the russkies for the gold medal -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 11:46
The snowboard course is a joke. Two of the guys who fell didn't do anything wrong. It's just that their snowboards need snow to work. - David Feb 15, 11:45 8
- all part of our disinformation plot. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 11:50 2
  - the moguls track looked beaten to hell, and that was on Whistler ... I shudder to think what Cypress looks like. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:51 1
    - (Just watched a bit of the snowboarding ... track actually looks a lot better than I expected) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 12:06
- If only Mt Washington had a halfpipe - they could have moved those events to the island -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:49 1
  - (There's a ton of logistical stuff that would also have to be taken care of, but it's too late now) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:49
- snowboarding is a joke. get jobs you hippie stoners -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 11:46 1
  - Usually the hardest part for them is passing the drug test. -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 11:47
- Ah, dirtboard, the new Olympic sport. -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 11:46
Wow ST is slow today. -- nm - Loyola Feb 15, 11:44 2
- It's a US holiday, and the ika people are at war. -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 11:46
- two boards on a monday is pretty slow, yep -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:45
"Look down. I'm on a horse." -- nm - David Feb 15, 11:38 4

stupid sexy presidents' day -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 11:34 1
- Those wooden teeth were so hot. -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 11:36
LYC but the Supernatural episode last week was superior to a lot of their recent writing. - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:28 3
- HD marathon on TNT right now. It's such a dramatic difference from our grainy local CW 480p feed. -- nm - David Feb 15, 11:34 2
  - Blood in HD - geebus - I can only imagine - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:39
  - you'll never be denied the true glory of Jensen Ackles's hotness again -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 11:36

man, some people are so good at the war game stuff. -- nm - b! Feb 15, 11:09 3
- Yup. Redmond and now Mop are doing a wonderful job. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 11:18 2
  - i should try to not judge a game based on the people that happen to be good at it. -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 12:05
  - its like they have played computer games all their life to be ready for this situation. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 11:57
hmm, a friend tipped me off to this camera site, if anyone here is into photography -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:04
I'm about 3/4 of the way through The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo - spoiler comment - Beaker Feb 15, 11:02 5
- one thing I actually gave it a lot of credit for was that it wasn't trying the entire time to be different. - TFox Feb 15, 12:04 2
  - I liked the build so far, allot of detail but I found it interesting (should finish it this week is my guess) -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 12:08 1
    - yeah, i acknowledged as I was reading that not a lot was happening, but i still found it a compelling read nonetheless. -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 12:09
- One of the funny parts of these books... (spoilers, I guess) - David Feb 15, 11:06

The mix I did over the weekend isn't as well done as the last one. It's not like gawdawful, but it's like a B- rather than the A. - Qale Feb 15, 11:00
For those of you that like Modern Family, what would be your top 3 currently running tv shows? -- nm - Loyola Feb 15, 10:53 20 1
- Chuck, 30 Rock, Modern Family. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 12:39 2
  - Actually, Modern Family is in a fight with Leverage and Psych for the podium. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 12:41 1
    - I can not wait for the next Leverage - it looks like emotional wreckage -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 12:44
- Modern Family, 30 Rock, Better Off Ted -- nm - Volnelk Feb 15, 12:35
- Not including Modern Family. Chuck, Community, and maybe Castle - oblique Feb 15, 11:57
- Modern Family, Chuck, Lost -- nm - Jovian Feb 15, 11:52
- Bones, 30 Rock and Big Bang Theory -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 15, 11:51
- ok thanks guys -- nm - Loyola Feb 15, 11:19
- Modern Family, The Closer, Cougar Town - prayformojo Feb 15, 11:03 3
  - i'm also really digging Dexter, though i'm only 5-6 episodes in -- nm - prayformojo Feb 15, 11:08 2
    - 5-6 episodes in to what? season 1? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:08 1
      - S1 -- nm - prayformojo Feb 15, 11:20
- With Better Off Ted done, my list is Psych, Modern Family and Leverage. -- nm - David Feb 15, 11:01
- 30 Rock, HIMYM and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 11:01
- Not including Modern Family? I'd say Lost, Human Target, Burn Notice. - musubi Feb 15, 10:55 4
  - Also, it's in limbo, but I consider Better Off Ted easily one of the top 5 comedies. (nm) - musubi Feb 15, 10:56 3
    - I'd put ahead of HIMYM on my list if it comes back on. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 11:01 2
      - Meh. HIMYM has jumped way over the shark. (nm) - musubi Feb 15, 11:02 1
        
        I still enjoy it but not like I did a year ago. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 11:10
- Modern Family, Community, then either 30 Rock or SNL -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 15, 10:54

- Probably not. You'll be getting a factory image of the laptop you bought. -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 10:55 16
  - [deleted] 14
    - as Berry said, they have a "image" of the disk. They don't install the OS in the way that we do. They do that once and then basically duplicate the - oblique Feb 15, 11:41 1
      - I'd bet they probably made a special station that just lets them pop batches of drives in for being imaged :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:43
    - a "factory image" is a snapshot of a drive before it goes out; bit-for-bit, it's identical on all the machines shipped -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:02 11
      - (as opposed to actually making a file-by-file copy of the entire disk contents) -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 11:06 1
        
        yes, exactly. Kind of like ripping a data CD to an ISO, and then burning that ISO back to a CD -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:07
      - [deleted] 8
        
        they won't give you Windows 7 because you don't have a license for it. You didn't pay for it and they can't give it to you -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 11:21 4
        
        This isn't entirely true; they might include an OEM W7. An HD replacement is enough to allow them to sell an OEM copy, it might be enough ... - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:23 2
        
        I suppose they could "eat" the W7 OEM license cost but still, I doubt it -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 11:27 1
        
        Well, any time they replace a part, there's a built-in cost. They might just fold the OEM cost into that. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:37
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think that it would. On the other hand, they might store them by model, so that they know the drivers are compatible. - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:06 2
        
        I believe this will be the case. I'm *sure* Lenovo has a master image of how those laptops were sent from the factory and they will likely reimage it - oblique Feb 15, 11:20 1
        
        [deleted]
  - polaroid? or maybe a sketch? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:58
TFOX - and anyone else making the Matador Chili recipe I posted yesterday - I forgot to add the condiments - JenBro Feb 15, 10:44 3
- NOW you tell me :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 15, 10:47 2
  - heh heh ... you made it this morning right? - JenBro Feb 15, 10:48 1
    - while on Ika yes :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 15, 10:56
