- In $100, what's the diff? -- nm - OAE Apr 5, 11:22
- There's huge psychological resistance at that mark. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:11 3
  - Yes and no. If I recall the "first time" from back in '07, we were sitting here watching it go up in leaps and bounds. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 5, 11:16 2
    - which is also why it didn't hold. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:17 1
      - Definitely curious to see what the next little while holds. Oil's not even close to where it was the last time. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 5, 11:20
"I'm not gonna try to get as hot when I play." -- nm - Tiger Apr 5, 11:08
How many miles can I earn with an airline Check Card? - workmanda Apr 5, 10:59 10
- I average a free European, or two North American flights per year with mine. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:03 4
  - I've never heard of an airline check card. is it that old? I have my credit cards that give me miles but check cards? wow. -- nm - workmanda Apr 5, 11:04 1
    - oh sorry, I misunderstood. This is what I get from my credit card. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:08
  - so long mrs. reagen and baby! - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 11:04 1
    - vegas, baby, vegas! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:04

- Ali Lohan to star. -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 11:07
- In the screenplay, she'll give everyone make-overs and teach them all to dance. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Apr 5, 10:54
From the iPad - Obliquepad Apr 5, 10:48 11
- it works! -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 10:49 4
  - Biggest reason I won't spend $500 on it now is that I can easily see spending hundreds on Apps :) -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 10:50 3
    - I'm afraid to know how much I've spent on iphone apps. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 5, 11:01 2
      - I've only bought two iPhone apps, and one was on sale for extra-cheap. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:04
      - this is really the reason I have so few. I know how fast it adds up. I've only paid for two, I think. - workmanda Apr 5, 11:03
- this is the worst looking post ever -- nm - dogbert Apr 5, 10:49 5
  - Yeah, still a kilbofail. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 5, 10:50
  - screen gets smudgy very quickly -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 10:50 3

      - heh. This was my complaint before iphone came out. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 5, 10:55
hrmph. A house I like just came on the market. Been a *long* time since that happened (... in an appropriate price range) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:42 3
- ... so long, in fact, that our pre-approval has probably lapsed. Thus the 'hrmph'. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:43 2
  - Mondays are hrmph-days. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Apr 5, 10:47 1
    - Nice. I agree with this :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:47
Alright. I played with the iPad for about 10 minutes. It is pretty much as cool as I expected. A little heavier than I though -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 10:39 18
- It was lighter than I had expected, but I did find myself wondering about how I would hold it for an extended period. - David Apr 5, 10:45 16
  - I'm kind of negatively curious about the ipad. I think I am not going to even touch one until mine arrives. -- nm - workmanda Apr 5, 11:01
  - The multimedia parts of it are very good. I'm pleased with the typing relative to using an iPhone - oblique Apr 5, 10:49 14
    - That was what jumped out at Kim. The book app simply destroys the Kindle's version. You can actually flip the pages. -- nm - David Apr 5, 10:50 13
      - flip the pages? Like, complete with a pointless/dumb animation? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:52 7
        
        Ideal for flip books. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 5, 10:53
        
        It's much more organic than that. You just make the hand gesture. -- nm - David Apr 5, 10:52 2
        
        wow, no way a real book could compete with that -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 10:57 1
        
        But see, it was lighter than he expected because it had a dozen books loaded into it. - Kick Ass Apr 5, 11:02
        
        yes, completely pointless but it looks really cool and it will make you feel all warm inside - oblique Apr 5, 10:52 2
        
        Exactly. -- nm - David Apr 5, 10:53
        
        fat chance. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:52
      - Question: does the iPad you're looking at have a Simpsons app installed? - David Apr 5, 10:51 4
        
        Nothing Simpson's related on this one -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 10:52 3
        
        Okay, thanks. Our store really knew what we would like, I guess. -- nm - David Apr 5, 10:53 2
        
        You Simpson's t-shirt, hat, shorts, socks and shoes were a *bit* of a tip-off. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 5, 10:57 1
        
        I looked good. -- nm - David Apr 5, 11:16
- and you didn't post here from it? - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 10:40
heh, David Wright hit a home run before Jason Hayward -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 10:37 7
- Even David would admit Hayward isn't good enough yet to hit home runs in games he's not playing in. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:47 6
  - He actually hit two, but they don't count. -- nm - david Apr 5, 10:48 4
    - All kidding aside, I'll be surprised if he hits a lot of homers this year. He's not a swing for the fences player yet. - David Apr 5, 10:50 3
      - I was promised gunshot-sounding contacts. Anything less than a homerun after that is a failing. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:51 2
        
        You'll get that. His singles sound like most guys' homers. - David Apr 5, 10:54 1
        
        Dead infielders. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:57
  - He -could- but he knows it would create a hole in the space/time continuum. - David Apr 5, 10:48
So that is Karebud's big news -- nm - amoxy Apr 5, 10:36 7
- spoil me, please? -- nm - b. Apr 5, 10:51

ST Poll -- On a scale of 1 to 10, how much importance would $1500 have on your decision of when to leave your job. "1" being not important at all. - znufrii Apr 5, 10:33 13
- I would say a 9, decreasing by one point for every extra month I would have to stay. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 5, 11:02
- Probably a 1. It would depend, am I giving up another opportunity, how much longer do I have to stay, do I have somewhere else to go? -- nm - jnine Apr 5, 10:38
- 3 or 4. I could have stayed and received a severance of 1 week pay, but I couldn't put off the new job. - JaxSean Apr 5, 10:38
- 10 years = 1. 2 months = 10. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 5, 10:37
- depends on the circumstances of the new job. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 10:35
- how much longer, and does it impact anything else (another job prospect, more money spent elsewhere, etc.)? -- nm - b. Apr 5, 10:35
- [deleted]
- 1 -- nm - CQ Apr 5, 10:35
- Depends on how long till the vesting - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:35 1
  - word -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 10:51
- I'd stay for the money ... it all adds up. -- nm - JenBro Apr 5, 10:34 1
  - oops Sorry - I didn't read well ... 10 -- nm - JenBro Apr 5, 10:34
- 5. it's a nice amount but nowhere near "FU money" -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 10:34
PANIC: newspaper in Jordan runs April 1st headline about aliens visiting, almost leads to towns evacuation -- (link) - Beaker Apr 5, 10:29 1
- "byline: Grovers Mills, Jordan . . . " -- nm - Walter Winchell Apr 5, 10:31
A friend in need's a friend indeed, a friend with weed is better. A friend with breasts and all the rest, a friend who's dressed in leather. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 5, 10:28
Happy Birthday stinky,,, - BAD Apr 5, 10:27 2

Any of the local Marylanders ever use MARC rail? - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:26 3
- sure. loved it, for the most part - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 10:30 2
  - Right.....if need be, I'm trying to figure out if it's feasible method of Frederick Rockville/DC that'll keep me from killing someone if I get a job - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:31 1
    - probably depends main on where in Rockville/DC the job is. i only rode the Baltimore/DC lines, so i'm not as familiar w/ the Brunswick stop locations -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 10:33
Hurrah! Google Chrome 5.0.bunchofnumbers BETA solves my small font problem. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 10:23 3

  - Hurrah! BOP 5.0.bunchofnumbers solves my most recent updates should always be at the top of the page problem. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 10:26 1
    - We made that change specifically because you asked for it. Thanks for your feedback. -- nm - David Apr 5, 10:43
inigo, please check in with us and let us know everything is ok when you can, please. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 5, 10:20 12

    - Until next time, work on your stamina. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:36

      - his wife is still in love with another woman? -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 5, 10:39 2
        
        it's more complicated than that, and I'm not sure the full truth is known. - b. Apr 5, 10:44
        
        we're fuzzy on the whole "another woman" part of it -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 10:40
  - I talked to him for just a few minutes. - JaxSean Apr 5, 10:31 1
    - :/ (thanks.) -- nm - b. Apr 5, 10:32
PSA: Tiger Woods Press Conference 2pm -- nm - budice Apr 5, 10:20 1
- "So, what happened that night?" "Police report." "That says nothing." "Cuz nothing happened outside what I've said." - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:24
in hindsight, the premise of "Bosom Buddies" seems a bit far-fetched - the 40 year old virgin Apr 5, 10:16 2
- similarly, would the Ropers really have had a problem with unmarried men and women living together, but been OK with a gay dude? -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:19 1
  - I just assumed we were supposed to play the, "It's California!"-card there. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 5, 10:23
The 90-minute review of Episode 2: Attack of the Clones is up from you know who... -- (link) - oblique Apr 5, 10:16 [youtube] 2
- Do go there. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Apr 5, 10:24 1
  - Funny how my "don't go there" message somehow became "do go there". -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Apr 5, 10:29
I blame most nasty things on the DC character from the Legion of Superheroes: Rape Lad followed closely Molest Boy -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 10:16 1

  - can I start off with another six hours of sleep? :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:25 1
    - I don't see any reason why you shouldn't ... and don't forget the good dreams too while you're at it! -- nm - JenBro Apr 5, 10:30
- So ... at 7:29, a coworker sent an email that the buses were on saturday service. - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:19 2
  - oh, and even funnier: The exterior RFID lock allowed me into the stair well, but the interior RFID wouldn't let me into the office this morning. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:20 1
    - You're using it wrong! -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Apr 5, 10:52
- when I lived in Ithaca, a city parking ticket was cheaper than campus parking, so I parked illegally. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 10:15 6
  - *makes note* -- nm - SyrDragon Apr 5, 10:21 1
    - don't rely on that, it could be different now. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 10:27
  - heh, nice -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:16 3
    - I think it was $15 to park on campus vs $10 for a ticket. no brainer. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 10:16 2
