- What kind of networking are you using on the Mac? 802.11b, g, or n? (That wireless speed on the PC seems rather fast.) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 12:56 7
  - The router is g. - ty97 Apr 29, 12:57 6
    - Make sure the Macs are using the same protocol as the router. Also, manually set the bandwidth on both, don't use "auto". -- nm - Fuzzy (195 lbs) Apr 29, 13:00
    - Weird. Could it just be some sort of unintended weird directionality? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 12:57 4
      - may.....be? - ty97 Apr 29, 12:58 3

Re: ST Biggest Loser. Is there any interest in doing a photo every few weeks to see the impact of our weight loss? -- nm - Fuzzy (195 lbs) Apr 29, 12:52 7
- not from me. but if pippy is providing one, sure, i might look at it -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 29, 13:03
- it might be more fun to shoot a photo of something that represents the number of pounds lost - but have one "before" photo of you - and one "after" - JenBro Apr 29, 12:56

  - I might buy my own and bring it in. the front of the seat part is lower than the back of the seat part by a *lot* - slackmanda Apr 29, 12:58
  - Interesting way of controlling costs. Was the furnitue really so bad they needed a full-time burner? -- nm - TWuG Apr 29, 12:53 2
    - or, alternatively, were the staff so flea-ridden? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 12:54 1
      - I wash every day! -- nm - celedhring Apr 29, 12:54
  - burning? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 12:52 1
    - buying! what was I thinking on... -- nm - celedhring Apr 29, 12:53
- Sitting for 12 hours/day would make you hate any chair. Except the Hula chair. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Apr 29, 12:49

    - lol. yes, i can go and you don't have to make it worth my while. - kare Apr 29, 12:46 4

If he had NASCAR paraphernalia on the truck then his explanation makes sense... - Mel Profit Apr 29, 12:36 8
- He HAD the confederate flag, what more do you want? -- nm - Ender Apr 29, 12:50

  - This whole thing makes me feel a LOT better about my own reception. - kelly Apr 29, 12:40
  - for comparison, their regular dinner menu is a $78 prix fixe or $105 tasting menu - znufrii Apr 29, 12:39 10
    - which just tells me it's restaurant you should neither dine at nor have your wedding at. -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 12:41 8

if it is over $100 a person, I am going to Taco Bell for the reception. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 12:34 15
- I forget the exact amount we paid per person, but it was under $60, I think - not counting alcohol. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 12:38 7
  - I shopped around quite a bit, and got a very good deal at $35 per person for 275 - groiny Apr 29, 12:41 6

        we were SUPPOSED to have only 50 guests... :) -- nm - kare Apr 29, 12:44
- it's not uncommon for that kind of thing to amount to 5 figures alone for even a smallish (~75-100) wedding. -- nm - kare Apr 29, 12:36 2
  - I could get everyone at the reception blown and get change for $100 a person. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 29, 12:38 1
