Fox local news: Lady Gaga has agreed to a Glee appearance and Madonna has released 11 songs to Glee for a Madonna tribute show. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 15, 11:00 3
- Speaking of Madonna, I was surprised to see her on the Marriage Ref the other day. That show has better "gets" than a late night talk show. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 11:04
- so she saw Madonna had her own episode and couldn't stand to be upstaged - fairway frank Mar 15, 11:03 1

        I've had a similar thought. -- nm - David Mar 15, 11:14 1

I finally watched Modern Family last night from last week. Man, that was funny - oblique Mar 15, 10:57 6
- "Shell Turtlestein." -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 11:10

  - If I married J-Love, I would have that Rolling Stone photo enlarged and framed in our living room. - TFox Mar 15, 11:12
  - Or maybe J-Love realized that she's J-Love and he's Jamie Kennedy. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 11:00

Anyone want to read up on what my company is doing to advance healthcare reform? -- (link) - TFox Mar 15, 10:52 7
- just for reference, is your emplopyer one of the remaining non-profit Blues? Or have they all gone to a for-profit model? -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 10:58 5
  - The overwhelming majority, including ours, are still non-profit. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 10:58 4
    - (Switching a Blue to a for-profit company is tricky, tricky stuff.) - TFox Mar 15, 11:00 3
      - good to know. thanks. -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 11:04 2
        
        (would that they all had remained that way) -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 11:06 1
        
        It's unfortunate for public perception that a Blue's non-profit status can't be assumed anymore. I agree with you. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 11:07

When Cnet reviews a "simple basic phone just for making calls", and it has more features than my phone... then I need to upgrade. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 10:47 9

    - I *feel* like I need a bunch of apps and an internet connection on my phone... - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 10:59

New Calif penalties for illegal use of handicapped parking space as of 1/6/2010 - CrankYanker Mar 15, 10:46 14
- They should make it a million dollar fine. Fix the budget that way. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 11:11
- now if only they would make the fine for people who park right outside of the store's entrance, blocking traffic for more than 1 min similar. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 10:53 4
  - and fine people who take up two spaces! -- nm - sycor Mar 15, 10:56 2
    - Where elso am I supposed to park a limo!! ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 15, 10:57 1
      - fine. exception to the rule is limos. Just be a dick about it and pull sideways taking up 5 space. -- nm - sycor Mar 15, 11:02
  - I'm guilty of this whenever we're going home and MrsCY jumps out to pickup one item while I wait at the curb...not blocking the door though. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 15, 10:56
- Have you seen that piece on Ch.4(?) about the downtown store owners using 'borrowed' tags to park for free at the meters? -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 15, 10:52 1
  - No, but one of my clients has one and has me use it to park up close at the race track. I usually leave after he gets into the park and come back - CrankYanker Mar 15, 10:54
- I don't feel sorry for anyone who does this. -- nm - zork Mar 15, 10:50 2
  - I just wish they would crack down on the people who have handicapped stickers that don't really need one. They pull into the handicap space and - CrankYanker Mar 15, 10:51
  - In some cases, I think maybe they qualify as having a mental handicap, which means they should be able to dodge the fine. - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:51

- I leave for 2 days and everything usually goes to hell. I think the building would implode if I left for two weeks. -- nm - sycor Mar 15, 10:47
- Two weeks? Who gets two week vacations? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 10:46 5
  - occasionally, we have people take longer than one week; but that's not the norm. (mop and fam. were sick, though.) -- nm - b. Mar 15, 10:59
  - *raises hand* - oblique Mar 15, 10:52 2
    - Yeah, I meant "2 weeks in a row." I'm lucky to get 1 week in a row. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 10:57 1

So why is it that there are almost no instances of popular games with cross-platform multiplayer support? I mean, how hard can it be to have two - oblique Mar 15, 10:30 25
- I think Shadowrun is the only such game I ever encountered. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 10:44
- Well, the reason that there's no PC-to-console crossplatform is understood to be that PCs would have too great of an advantage -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:31 22
  - What advantage? It's like like the whole gaming world revolves around FPS and how would that be any different than people on varying levels of - oblique Mar 15, 10:32 21
    - It's a commonly accepted belief that Keyboard+Mouse is exponentially superior to console controllers -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:33 19
      - (The real reason is probably that each platform is rather insular and doesn't want to reach out and potentially give help to another platform) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:34 10
        
        It surprises me that game makers of cross-platform titles don't do this though -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 10:37 9

        Unrelated: Is there a mobile optimized URL for ST? I can load it on my blackberry but it's not quite the same as maybe what could be done with a more - oblique Mar 15, 10:41 5
        
        This would be pimpalicious, but I figure I'll get an Androidy phone before Bery has time to do it. :) - TFox Mar 15, 10:43 3
        
        ST is excellent on my Androidy phone. Ika sucks, though. -- nm - mara Mar 15, 10:51

      - I thought console gaming was the shiznit? :) -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 10:34 7
        
        Console gaming is a technically superior solution, because keeping a PC up to date for PC gaming is a fool's errand -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:35 6
        
        I'll have to admit, I'm not on the cutting edge of PC games, but my $40 Nvidia GSO 9800 (or whatever it is) rocks everything I play -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 10:36 5
        
        I've never been able to financially justify any kind of cutting edge tech ... the last video card I bought was an All In Wonder 2006 - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:38 4
        
        I bought the GSO specifically for CIV IV so you can see how my gaming is driven :) -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 10:40 3
        
        I'm planning to sell off much of my old PC hardware to make room for the baby -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 10:40 2
