    - accept the losers and ignore the lesbians. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 14:21

  - Obama actually wants to do this. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 14:02 1
    - i'm sure Willy did too, but only to harvest contact info on a new crop of 18 year old girls each year -- nm - zork Oct 15, 14:03
  - The matter was decided in 1981, according to wikipedia: Women are not allowed in combat, therefore, not required in this database. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:59 3
    - preposterous. most military jobs are NOT in a combat zone and the draft should be open to all. I registered when I was 18 - peglegpete Oct 15, 14:01 2
      - I thought it was OPEN to them, just not REQUIRED...but I don't know. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 15, 14:03

      - I just picked up a pamphlet at the Post Office copyright 2008 -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 15, 14:01
      - yes. -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 14:00
    - Reading about it on Wikipedia. Had no idea that that was in place. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:58
- Which is why I didn't become a citizen until after I turned 25. -- nm - Mop Oct 15, 13:50 2

Serious question, how do you get a 2 year old to stop hating his halloween costume? -- nm - Amy Oct 15, 13:40 27
- change him to flats instead of stillettos? -- nm - zork Oct 15, 14:05
- just let him run naked in the neighborhood. -- nm - Remlik Oct 15, 14:03 2
  - I hear his dad does that:) -- nm - eag Oct 15, 14:24 1
    - From what I hear Logan has mastered the two handed going to the bathroom stance.... - Remlik Oct 15, 14:31
- You get another costume - one he likes. -- nm - grammar Oct 15, 14:03
- Leave it conspicuously visible but never mention it. -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 15, 13:59
- There's no good answer. Get a different costume is the best option. - Mop Oct 15, 13:49 1
  - IMO it's not about the costume, it's about his exerting control by refusing to wear what mommy wants him to wear. Reverse psychology is my suggestion. -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 15, 14:06
- swap it with someone else's? -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 13:48
- hide sweets in it? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 15, 13:47
- You don't or won't. If they don't like it, you're stuck with an not so happy camper. ;-( -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 15, 13:45
- Oh, and I returned the hated dinosaur costume, and got a monkey costume. He tolerates it (unlike the dino) but won't wear it. - Amy Oct 15, 13:44 5
  - Maybe let him pick? -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:44 4
    - Oh, he likes *everything* at the store. -- nm - Amy Oct 15, 13:45 3
      - And, he loves mommy wearing it (just the hood part) and he loves looking at it and making monkey noises. I figure I'm close to getting him in it! -- nm - Amy Oct 15, 13:51 2
        
        lil miss ccc's costume at two was an elephant...I wore a pith helmet and took her around - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 15, 14:06 1
        
        just be glad she doesn't want to be a slutty vampire yet. -- nm - zork Oct 15, 14:31
- Did he pick it? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 15, 13:44
- I'm pretty sure I hated mine every year. Mom went thru a "cute" phase with my sister and I. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 15, 13:43 1
  - I wouldn't take mine off. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:53
- show him a graphical representation of his candy take with and without that costume - colin Oct 15, 13:43

- we know you're the only one holding that market up in the air -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 15, 13:48
- I'm meeting with a former partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers in a few minutes. Quick, teach me something that will make me sound smart! -- nm - Mop Oct 15, 13:40 3
  - "So... The market's been in the crapper, huh? What's up with that?" -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 15, 13:47 2
    - That was actually going to be my opening line. Now I have to think of something else. -- nm - Mop Oct 15, 13:50
    - now say it like Walberg. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:48
- I haven't invested the money my parents gave me into the kids college funds yet. I need it to hit bottom first -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:37 1
  - You won't know it's hit bottom until you miss the rebound. - pmb Oct 15, 13:39
I had to use a Mac this morning. God help me, because Steve Jobs surely won't. - Mop Oct 15, 13:30 5
- I used one for the first time last week at my 2nd interview which unfortunately found out didnt get the job -- nm - eag Oct 15, 13:34 2
  - I'm sorry to hear that. If a lug like me can land a job, you won't be looking for much longer. -- nm - Mop Oct 15, 13:40 1
    - Oh I know I will -- nm - eag Oct 15, 13:45
- Keyboard shortcuts: Use the Apple button (or Command button if it says that on it) and the same shortcuts you know - ty97 Oct 15, 13:32 1
  - Good to know. Thanks. -- nm - Mop Oct 15, 13:34
Let it go now Andie - eag Oct 15, 13:30 7
- i'm done. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 13:30 6
  - sorry. - zork Oct 15, 13:37 4
    - Actually B and Remlik looked like they posted after you according to Dr Tron -- nm - eag Oct 15, 13:41 1
      - Can't go by the sort order on dr tron, it's kinda broken. You have to go by the "post id" in the url and sort mentally. - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:52
    - oh, i still have access, but.... -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 13:38 1
      - /pulls Andie away from it :) -- nm - eag Oct 15, 13:40
  - I know it was hard - eag Oct 15, 13:33
I was going to delete it but then it made me laugh. A-ha's Take on Me video - the literal version. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Oct 15, 13:29 [youtube]
I may be in the market for a new computer sooner than I would like. What do we think of this? -- (link) - Reagen Oct 15, 13:22 18
- I don't get why the trackpad is on the left side... If I use my right hand, it seems like it's have to twist my hand even more -- nm - Guigue Oct 15, 13:36 2
  - that is a little odd. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 13:38 1
    - it's basically the same one I got last december (but more memory, etc.). I've been quite happy with it. The pad is to the left because ... - zork Oct 15, 13:54
- You want a laptop? I'd agree with the choice of a HP. The only thing I don't like about them is the on switch. - Mop Oct 15, 13:28 5
  - Yes. I'm trying to wean myself out of being hooked to a desk. - Reagen Oct 15, 13:30 4
    - HP will allow some customization on their site, but not to the degree of Dell. You may be looking for too much if you want a desktop replacement, tho. - Mop Oct 15, 13:34 3
      - I take your point, but I like as large a screen as is possible. - Reagen Oct 15, 13:38 2
        
        this is the reason why I won't give up the desktop. Too tiring to hunch over the little screen. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:39 1
        
        .. get a taller desk? -- nm - colin Oct 15, 13:47
- It's not a Mac - ty97 Oct 15, 13:25 8
  - Which makes it affordable -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:26 7
    - only $100 less than a Mac. -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:28 3
      - HP: Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 320GB Apple: Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 160GB - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:31 2
        
        Sorry, misread, the apple is 1GB and 120GB for $999 -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:34
        
        Option B please! -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:32
    - and useable. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 13:27 2
      - and less obnoxious. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:31
      - Seems like a good price compared to an equivalent Dell offering -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:28
and it amuses me that it was Al Jazeera doing the filming... - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:20
*giggle* Get this, David Ortiz's official listed weight is 230. Riiiiiigh. (nm) - musubi Oct 15, 13:19 5

- that's what the scale says in the mornings... -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:21
TT is still there for y'all, right? -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 13:15 12
- I'm perfectly happy being good friends. -- nm - Redmond SI Oct 15, 13:32
- It was for me till about 30 minutes ago now im getting a 404 error -- nm - eag Oct 15, 13:23
- Ooh, there must be propagation involved. -- nm - David Oct 15, 13:21
- Nope. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 13:20
- Yes. -- nm - Amy Oct 15, 13:20
- Negatory, good buddy. (nm) - musubi Oct 15, 13:20
- No. She and I made a clean break. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 13:19
- So far, yes. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 15, 13:19
- nay. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 13:16
- It is for me, but my ISP is notoriously slow at refreshing DNS, sometimes up to days -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:16 2
  - i can post there, it's weird that it's... selective. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 13:17 1
    - It's down for me at work, works at home. Interesting. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:17
Not exactly. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:14 1
