Bery, with the ads, do we click them all of the time, once a day, what? Does it matter? -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 09:33 2
- whenever someone mentions "Berymandering" -- nm - zork Oct 16, 09:39

Did TT notice the "Chan We Need" signs at the debate last night? I looked it up today, and the perpetrators have spoken. -- (link) - emoticripple Oct 16, 09:27

remember when I asked about that "Straight-[Democratic/Republican] Ticket" email? Snopes finally got to it: -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:25 4
- I never vote straight ticket, cause in a GOP stronghold, there usually are some races the dems don't field a candidate - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 16, 09:36
- Yikes. That's seriously absurd. When I voted on Tuesday, I was presented with a list of seven candidates, and I marked an "X" next to the one I wanted - Beryllium Oct 16, 09:28 2
  - *votes Karebud for Dogcatcher* -- nm - zork Oct 16, 09:31
  - We get abooks really outlining all the positions as well as letters in support or opposition, prior to the election. Then a plain vanilla ballot. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 09:31
test -- nm - Loyola Oct 16, 09:21 1
- Good my password works, lyc, I just bought a watch on ebay and I've decided I don't like it after I won. Stupid impulse buying. -- nm - Loyola Oct 16, 09:22
when is HSX supposed to be back up? today sometime, or tomorrow morning? -- nm - colin Oct 16, 09:21 7

  - how long have you been sitting at talk.hsx.com/artists hitting refresh? -- nm - colin Oct 16, 09:23 4

no crash davis, i do NOT want to see the Justice League Unlimited hero you sent me - chris Oct 16, 09:20 3
- I didn't even send you a Batman this time -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 09:35
- no Crash Davis?? WHere did he go?? - amoxy Oct 16, 09:22 1
  - He has retreated following tRUMAN's vicious snub. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 09:31

- lol, Proud Texan's reply is so enlightening! - Jovian Oct 16, 09:34 1
  - Guess the idiot forgot that McCain's convention speech required the NFL to rearrange things -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 16, 09:38
- The way the WS has been going the past 5-6 years, it is highly unlikely there will be a Game 6 -- nm - amoxy Oct 16, 09:21 1
  - And if there is, the ratings will likely be lower than the Obama ad. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 09:30
- he's going to lose some votes on that one.. -- nm - colin Oct 16, 09:21
Hello there, scallywag! -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 09:16
Do we know what Guitar Hero 4 is going to cost (for Wii)? - pmb Oct 16, 09:15 6
- I don't have time to play silly video games. I'm too busy trying to pay all those taxes Obama's gonna sock me with -- nm - Joe the Plumber Oct 16, 09:18
- I think $189. I put down $5 on a pre-order at Target this last week. First time I've *ever* dont that. -- nm - Sarah Palin Oct 16, 09:17 3
  - Sarah, you're such a joe-six-pack -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 09:18 2
    - How long until the porn videos of Sarah Palin look alike, Joe Six Pack and Joe the Plumber? -- nm - pmb Oct 16, 09:22

- $200 per Amazon I think for the whole kit -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 09:16
btw, if you guys are using greasemonkey for killfile or whatever, consider adding a profanity filter if you don't like the swearing here -- (link) - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 09:11 3
- Wait, so I don't have to make an optional one myself, I can just brush people off and say "Use Greasemonkey"? Sweet! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 09:13 2
  - problem with the greasemonkey one though is it's post processing - decline Oct 16, 09:14 1
    - hrm, very true -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 09:15
Are you fucking kidding me? I need to create an iTunes account - and give them my credit card - to download a free episode of Frontline?! -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 09:10 1
- Not that unreasonable. Most of their downloads cost money, so require a cc. You won't get charged for a free download. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 16, 09:12
*grin* Today is a good day - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 09:04 4

  - Wasn't Alec one of those who threatened to leave if Bush won? - Jim Oct 16, 09:10 1
    - Yup. Probably a dig at his brother. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 09:15
- What a tool. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 16, 09:03
This should be a better link to the Slackertalk killfile -- (link) - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 08:59 11
- Hobbit, I challenged your monkeying around skills last night. - Mop Oct 16, 09:12 3
  - in looking at the one for this site, you do a kind of regular expression matching on the document - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 09:15 2
    - Yeah. CNet uses about 15 DIV sections and I tried stripping each one individually, and nothing happened. - Mop Oct 16, 09:17 1
      - You can debug a little in Firefox by going to Tools->Error console and seeing if maybe you were just hitting an error in the script - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 09:19
- [deleted] 6
  - I gave it a quick try and it seemed to work. I'm not 100% sure if everything is right but it seemed ok - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 09:05 5
    - It looks like it works fine. I'm impressed, actually. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 09:09 2
      - It only took a couple changes to parse your HTML instead of the HSX stuff -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 09:10 1
        
        nice :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 09:11

i guess Kevin Costner is greenlighting Swing Vote 2: Joe the Plumber this morning -- nm - chris Oct 16, 08:55
If you copy/paste this post into a new greasemonkey script, it should activate a killfile for this site - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 08:52 8
- where does one get the greasemonkey script? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 16, 08:57 1
  - it's a firefox add-on -- nm - decline Oct 16, 09:00
- Did that get cut off on initializing the tally arrays? or does it actually end there? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 08:56 4
  - cut off. hold on more here - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 08:57 3
    - nope, cut off there, too. Email it to me at the slackertalk address and I will add it to the faq. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 08:58 1
      - I put it up on pastebin -- (link) - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 08:59
    - hmm. looks like it doesn't like the characters in the code. Do you want me to email you so we can put it up somewhere? -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 16, 08:58

where's ty97? just thought i'd link you to the current front page image from cnnfn! - x Oct 16, 08:48 [Image] 4
- I don't think these guys even trade. I think they're just there for dramatic interpretation, like the guy that dances for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 08:52 3
  - They ran a piece in a weekly mag here, and mentioned that some guys, while real traders, would create poses to appear in pics.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 16, 08:54 1
    - If they'd get back to work and stop d!ck!ng around, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess. -- nm - steve114 si Oct 16, 08:57
  - *laughing* -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 08:52
I love how no matter what the post-debate polls say (that Obama won), the media still tries to keep up with the theme that it was a draw. - Don Homer Oct 16, 08:48 5
- Don't forget they all think that: "with 19 days left, anything could happen" or "19 days is an eternity in politics" -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 16, 09:08
- I was discussing something like this with my partner who is very involved in Obama's campaign. His view is that the reality is that the polls for - pmb Oct 16, 08:59 3
  - Good points, however, he's also won convincingly among indies and undecideds. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 16, 09:02 2
    - Yes, but the point is that at this point they aren't truly undecided anymore. - pmb Oct 16, 09:06 1
      - Winning over true undecideds at this point is about as important as winning over leprechauns and unicorns. - Reagen Oct 16, 09:28

we must not repeat the same mistakes here that were made on TT - ie. its settled on ST that the best captain was Picard. -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 08:40 13

- I agree. Wait. WTF?!? Agree?!? - evil crash davis Oct 16, 08:43

- If by best you mean best flute player then you are correct. Sisko is the only correct answer. -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 08:41 4
  - impossible. Sisko was in charge of an object that didnt even move. nm - Jovian Oct 16, 08:46 3
    - He did captain the Defiant. -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 08:47 2
      - oh that's true, forgot about that. But Picard still owns him. :) nm - Jovian Oct 16, 09:01

- Not yet. Coming. -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 16, 08:34 9
  - he needs to add the time zone thing to the FAQ -- nm - zork Oct 16, 08:37 7
    - The time zone thing is just *fine* :-) -- nm - con_carne on Pacific Oct 16, 08:39 6
      - he's going to "fine" it for *everyone* -- nm - zork Oct 16, 08:42 5
        
        Oh good grief, a whole lot of us have been mentally adjusting times since time began on tt and now it's a big deal because east coasters have to - Trish Oct 16, 09:00 3
        
        yeah, i'm pretty okay with it being whatever time zone it wants to be! -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 09:40
        
        it's not that so much as it doesn't say what time zone it's in. -- nm - loosilu Oct 16, 09:12 1
        
        Neither did TT. I'm working on it, just be patient. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 09:19
