  - "Monocle Smile!" ... hah ... it's popped up in a few so far. Love it. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 16:38
  - P.S. I like how Mustafa says (in the @twitter video) "twits" rather than "tweets". Does anyone like the word "tweet"? -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:33 7
    - The site is called Twitter, not Tweeter. They are twits, not tweets. -- nm - Tim Jul 14, 16:39 6
      - takes one to know one -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 16:42
      - Tweets. Tweeters. What do you call that membrane on top of your three way speakers? -- nm - facto Jul 14, 16:41
      - Birds tweet and when they do it enmasse they are twittering. -- nm - the liioulu with humidity frizzed hair Jul 14, 16:40 2
        
        But are they twitterers or tweeters? :-) -- nm - facto Jul 14, 16:41 1
        
        They're birds. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with humidity frizzed hair Jul 14, 16:43
      - ... and the users are Twitterers. Maybe we should ask Old Spice Guy to settle this once and for all? heh -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 16:39
Leaked tax forms show the RIAA spent $58 million in legal fees to collect $1.36 million from illegal file sharers - stewie Jul 14, 16:25 10
- Playing devil's advocate: How much piracy has these lawsuits prevented? -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:26 9
  - None on my end. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 14, 16:34
  - Of note: I do virtually no illegal downloading anymore, and the lawsuits and education campaigns are the direct cause. -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 16:30 3
    - The lawsuits had me a bit worried, but the ease of legal downloads really nudged me in the right direction. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:32 2
      - Amazon mp3 probably also had a lot to do with it, that's true. The competition and affordability of downloads was huge. - TFox Jul 14, 16:33 1
        
        hopefully this comes to Canada soon -- nm - J Jul 14, 16:45
  - I think it would be next to none -- nm - stewie Jul 14, 16:27
  - Do they actually prevent it? or just make people visit other sites -- nm - J Jul 14, 16:27 2
    - That's a fair question. I wonder what the levels of piracy are today compared to the Napster days. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:27 1
      - I can honestly say I pay for all my music now....movies and tv not so much -- nm - J Jul 14, 16:31

- Lebron James! -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:15

  - when you draft 2 back to back in the first round, then sign one and then the next year sign another one, that's funny/ -- nm - Beaker Jul 14, 16:11 1

  - the PG joke for the Wolves isn't new though. -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 16:09 2

- I'm hoping his children continue to run the team in a similar way to Steinbrenner. - Krusty Jul 14, 16:07 23
  - Hopefully there will be a hard cap soon anyway. -- nm - nubby Jul 14, 16:26 5

      - Lebron will only make $500k more this season than JD Drew. - TFox Jul 14, 16:35 2
        
        That's a symbol of baseball revenue vs basketball and idiot owners - Will Hunting Jul 14, 16:40

      - Along with football, basketball and hockey. - the liioulu with humidity frizzed hair Jul 14, 16:33
  - [deleted] 15
    - Agreed. Say what you will about steinbrenner, but it's a proven fact that he ran that team into the stratosphere. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 16:20 14
      - I disagree. The team only took off when he was suspended(the second time) and Michaels and Showalter had the reigns - CQ Jul 14, 16:35 7
        
        Yup. Michaels was the architect of that dynasty. Once Steinbrenner was out he was able to make moves without the second - Krusty Jul 14, 16:38 2
        
        don't get me wrong, George was a great great business man, but he meddled way too much -- nm - CQ Jul 14, 16:39 1
        
        He really did, more so after they weren't winning in the 80's. But I have no doubt in my mind that Stick Michaels built those teams - Krusty Jul 14, 16:45

        they count, obvie, but I'm talking about what the Yankees are today and have been for 15+ years -- nm - CQ Jul 14, 16:38 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Yes but the point was that the team turned around when he was suspended. It did and I think it had a lot to do with him not being able - Krusty Jul 14, 16:51
      - The problem is that the cure kills the patient. -- nm - nubby Jul 14, 16:28 1
        
        That's bad. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:29

      - But the rest of the country won't be too sad to see them fall. -- nm - the liioulu with humidity frizzed hair Jul 14, 16:22 2

Dos Equis should be falling all over themselves to get The Most Interesting Man in the World in on this while it's in progress. - Beryllium Jul 14, 15:57 3
- They did a few shorties like "The Most Interesting Man in the World on... pick-up lines." I agree, they should do this. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:24 2
  - they should improve on the concept, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 16:27 1
    - Brainstorming: How? Maybe have him show up at the door of the person asking the question? -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 16:29

Have there been any good Mel Gibson rant remixes? #outoftheloop -- nm - Dano Jul 14, 15:32 4
