- no idea but i feel for you. hope he get better soon -- nm - prayformojo Mar 3, 06:22
- 99 is not that high in infants but the rash should be looked at - SyrDragon Mar 3, 06:21 1
  - It was at 102 on Monday. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 06:22

        Hey look, it's already 17 minutes longer! -- nm - Ender Mar 3, 06:43
    - *shrugs* Your message seemed misleading, as it seemed like it meant any month. Was just clarifying. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 06:04 1
      - I think ML was taking issue with the "blah blah Weather Service" part of your statement -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 06:05

- you expect them to give away their product for free? -- nm - loosilu Mar 3, 05:41 11
  - nah, I don't expect them to give away paper cards or Christmas ornaments. - ty97 Mar 3, 05:45 9
    - But the ecard directly cuts into their paper business. -- nm - loosilu Mar 3, 06:15
    - And yet, Facebook shows that people will pay money to send virtual gifts to people -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 05:47 7
      - and they're just copying World of Warcraft etc. However, it's easy to find free e-cards, it's not easy to find free Swords of Conquest or whatever -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 06:34
      - It still surprises me the money people pay for ringtones. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 06:08 1
        
        The guy I hired recorded his 1 year old laughing and has it as his ringtone. It is, by far, the best one I've ever heard. I keep telling him to sell -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 06:12
      - *pokes you for dollar* -- nm - Dano Mar 3, 06:05 2
        
        A super poke will cost you more -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 06:06 1
        
        You ain't worth it. -- nm - Dano Mar 3, 06:07

- The one linked here last night was awesome; the guy's delivery was perfect. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 03:06
- Axe is better -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 2, 22:56 3
  - Axe's advertising is demeaning to women, and promotes extreme gender stereotypes. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 22:58 2
    - I mean Axe as a product is better -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 2, 22:59 1
      - Well, I pretty much agree with that, I guess. :) I only use a subset of their products, though. (Specifically, just the body wash.) - Beryllium Mar 2, 23:02
I miss Crazy Naked Mel sometimes. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 2, 22:45 6

bam! finally. Now the site messages are generated from the database, so I can update them from anywhere (and eventually I can write an interface) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 22:42 6
- ... *and* I figured out why searches were being so flakey lately. Caching was disabled, so every single thing was hitting the database (load spikes) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 22:49 3
  - Hey. - psilotum Mar 2, 22:57 2
    - I don't have one for ST. Buuuut ... for a database student, ST has one quirk that you may want to know about - Beryllium Mar 2, 23:01 1

  - well it takes hours after that anyway. - Reagen Mar 2, 22:08 3
    - With some women, it can take just a couple of hours, - Trish Mar 2, 22:42
    - It *may* take hours after that. (In may case, it was only a couple of hours before I was having full contractions.) nm - ralph wiggum Mar 2, 22:10
    - ah, I see. cool :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 22:08

  - (Hopefully steve wears pants this time) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 21:33
I tried to do my Windows 7 upgrade today. The deadline was 11:59 PM yesterday. Microsoft is such a scam. -- nm - David Mar 2, 21:22 11
- My wife's laptop is shutting down every 2 hours right now... because she's such a pleasant person to begin with. -- nm - Mop Mar 2, 22:39 1
  - This is what's happening to me too. - psilotum Mar 2, 22:43
- from what? vista? why didn't you do it as soon as humanly possible? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 21:23 8
  - I have had zero problems with Vista on three systems. (nm) - David Mar 2, 21:28 7
    - I didn't have problems either, but every machine I went from Vista to Windows 7 on performed better after the upgrade -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 05:19
    - I'm with you in that I liked Vista fine. 7 is a great upgrade, though I likely would not have had I not gotten the 1/2 price deal. -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 22:09 3
      - This is the second time in a row I've been denied a promised upgrade. Maybe I shouldn't slam Macs so much. (nm) - David Mar 2, 22:47 2
        
        well, you have to pay outright for most mac upgrades :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 22:49 1
        
        (I'm still running Leopard because of this, instead of Snow Leopard) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 22:50
    - I've had moderate problems with Vista on one system, and zero with another. I think the (value) price of the problem system was the issue. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 21:28 1
      - (but that said, Windows 7 in a VM felt a whole lot nicer than Vista on the non-problem system) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 21:29
