"Follow me to the world premiere of Scott Pilgram". Who'd have thought that this would cause chaos. -- (link) - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 10:26 2
- *cough* *cough* Pilgrim *cough* -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 10:26 1
  - Oh, in that case I will click the link. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 10:28
I posted this yesterday but it's important. Millions of home routers are vulnerable to an attack. -- (link) - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 10:23 5 1
- and apparently the fix is ... to change the default password? am I reading that correctly? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 10:32 1
  - So 99% of America is screwed. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 10:34
- So, you moped yourself? - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 10:24 1
  - automopping -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 10:30
- There's an app for that -- nm - Cyberdyne Systems Jul 23, 10:24
friday hax chat q: he just got married, hasn't taken a honeymoon yet. but wants to go out of town without the new wife for a friend's bachelor party - chuckles Jul 23, 10:21 8
- the honeymoon is a bit besides the point. she just wants this to be a honeymoon-phase. did the friend in question partake in the writer's stag - Andie Jul 23, 10:34
- Heh, I may have mentioned this before, but daughter and s-i-l planned a delayed honeymoon and then found he couldn't get vacation... - MojaveMeg Jul 23, 10:33 1
  - interesting -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 10:35
- I like how he "doesn't think" his wife wants him to go. Seems like he needs to find out. -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 10:30 2
  - women are mysterious creatures -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 10:31 1
    - Yeah, it's not as if they can speak English. -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 10:33
- If she doesn't want him to go, that's something they need to hash out. - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 10:29
- Not a problem, unless there are extenuating reasons why they haven't honeymooned yet -- nm - prayformojo Jul 23, 10:24
"get the information out there quicker" or "get the information there more quickly"? -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 10:17 21
- Depends on where "there" is. If it's specific place, the latter. If it means just generally available, the former. -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 10:25
- Disperse the information in such a manner that it is made available to interested parties in a shorter proximity of time relative to the current time. -- nm - Dano Jul 23, 10:21 5
  - By brother and I are arguing about which of __________ [quicker / more quickly] is grammaticality correct. - ty97 Jul 23, 10:24 1
    - Oh, geez, completely missed that. "More quickly" for written communication. "Quicker" is okay for informal speech, but not actually correct. -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 10:28
  - needs a "synergy" or something. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 10:23
  - [deleted] 1
    - I got that beat -- nm - Chris Nolan Jul 23, 10:23
- Two different meanings. To me, "out there" means simply to publish something, while the latter implies a specific recipient. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 10:19 5
  - presume 'out there' is either in both or not in both. (it is , in fact, relating to publishing information) -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 10:20 4
    - The former then, but both are fine. - con_carne Jul 23, 10:25 3
      - adjectives, I mean -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 10:30 1
        
        Quick(ly) is an adverb in this usage. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 10:33
      - (quick is not a verb, dang) -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 10:29
- The latter. But "get info thr fstr" might be more appropriate. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 10:19
- [deleted] 4
  - agreed. or, "Rapidly distribute the information" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 10:18 3
    - disseminate! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 10:23 1
      - ah! Perfect. That was the one that was on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't nail it down. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 10:30
    - (Heh ... it's probably a good thing that my speciality is not writing.) -nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 10:18
- quickerly -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 10:17
- latter -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 10:17
My brother and I share a Netflix queue now, but it's been my queue for years, so all the ratings are mine. - ty97 Jul 23, 10:15 1
- When he finds the movies he wants, post a part of your queue and let us guess which ones are his/yours -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 10:17
[deleted] 4
- definitely -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 10:30
- yes -- nm - Guy Jul 23, 10:21
- Honk! -- nm - LMS Jul 23, 10:13
- it had its moments - chuckles Jul 23, 10:13
Our catcher may suck at hitting, but he's funny. (link) - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 10:11
radio weather: "heat index values today up to 103" -- nm - Max Jul 23, 10:07 2

- *abandon climate change bill* -- nm - Congressional Democrats Jul 23, 10:11
I should probably pack. And shower. -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 10:06 2
- Eh. You have plenty of time. -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 10:10
- how about you shower first - chuckles Jul 23, 10:06
Dear Facebook, I'd really like you to add "why" you're suggesting these people as friends. Thanks, Sean. - JaxSean Jul 23, 10:00 2
- Mine are almost all single hot chicks now. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 10:21

    - IDLYITW made that point the other day -- (link) - prayformojo Jul 23, 10:20
    - Well, they are both male actors, so I guess. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 10:19
    - lil bit -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 10:17

        Like in the backrow of the Arclight? (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 10:15
India unveils $35 iPad competitor -- (link) - Reagen Jul 23, 09:51 12
- I can't understand why cell phones still cost hundreds of dollars. There's no way it costs anything close to that to produce. -- nm - zork Jul 23, 10:02 10
  - because no one actually pays that amount. its subsidized by the cell phone companies. - TFox Jul 23, 10:03 6
    - and I mean that they shouldn't have to. Why can't I go to Walmart and buy a phone for $40 and plug a sim card into it. -- nm - zork Jul 23, 10:05 5
      - You can. Not like, a Blackberry, but something that will make calls, yes. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 10:07 4
        
        He does have a point that it seems that there would be a market for a inexpensive blank-slate smartphone. - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 10:17 3
        
        There'd be a market for Miranda Kerr to give out handjobs too. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 10:19 2
        
        Of course, but Kerr's handy's are probably slightly less readily availble for mass production. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 10:25
        
        Not anymore! -- nm - Orlando Bloom Jul 23, 10:19
  - Because people will pay it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 10:03 2
    - I can't understand that either. -- nm - zork Jul 23, 10:04
    - heh -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 10:04
- India? They have a billion developers! Apple can't compete! -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 09:54

- love these. thanks for the clouds -- nm - Guy Jul 23, 10:28
- #8, the hail picture, is stunning. Imagine the force at which that hail must have fallen to do that to a windshield? -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 10:10
- #19 - wow. -- nm - decline Jul 23, 10:02 1
  - yeah, that's disturbing b/c my mind fills in the gaps -- nm - prayformojo Jul 23, 10:22

  - he's been in his 90s for several years now! -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 10:12
- max is just waiting to find out where they bury him - chuckles Jul 23, 09:49 1
  - his epitaph will probably have something yet again about how he was on Nixon's hit list. -- nm - Max Jul 23, 10:09
aw man, i missed Guy's condescending snotty post of the day -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 09:47 12
- That attitude is not uncommon. People mock getting a diet coke with your meal at McDonals, for example. - ty97 Jul 23, 09:53 6
  - and some people prefer the taste. - Reagen Jul 23, 10:04
  - It's important to know how to eat out. It's just not realistic to *never ever* go to a restaurant or have fast food. -- nm - Callisto Jul 23, 10:02 3
    - also important to just let it go sometimes and not worry over every meal. -- nm - zork Jul 23, 10:03 2
      - agreed. I think if you just really really want fries one meal, have them. - Callisto Jul 23, 10:05 1
        
        or just have it without any adjustments. over the course of a year, 100 calories means nothing. -- nm - zork Jul 23, 10:07
  - now that the nutritional information is more easily available, they are the ones who look ignorant -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 09:57
- stuck around. the matinee will be soon. -- nm - zork Jul 23, 09:50
- I have dropped 40 pounds, eating out at lunch every day Mon - Fri - groiny Jul 23, 09:49

LIR: Jax. heh. I actually order cheeseburger no meat from fast food quite often - oblique Jul 23, 09:42 3
- cheese sandwich with mustard, ketchup, and pickles? ... that doesn't sound too bad. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 09:51
- like at mcdonalds? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:45 1
  - *nods* Sometimes they look at you like you're from Mars, but most places actually have a button on the register for it (minus meat) -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 09:46
Has anyone had any of the new Wendy's salads? Apple Chicken Pecan sounds good. Spicy Chicken Caesar sounds.... - ty97 Jul 23, 09:41 4
- I've had the Cobb and the Apple Pecan. Very yummy but $8.50 up here. -- nm - zork Jul 23, 09:49
- very high in both fat and sodium -- (link) - 'lia Jul 23, 09:48 1
  - I've given up on trying to control salt. You can't be perfect with everything. That salad is 13 point, with dressing. Not great, not bad. - ty97 Jul 23, 09:49
- I keep meaning to, but for $7, I keep going to the potato/chili instead. - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:45

- wow - THANKS everyone - this is so helpful! -- nm - JenBro Jul 23, 10:02
- Some thoughts inside - ty97 Jul 23, 09:59
- GasLand for sure. i think The Concert and Cleanflix also look interesting, but i haven't seen them myself -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 09:54 3
  - Please Give, if you like quirky indie character studies. Smile, The Up With People Story i would be all over that like mandy on free cake at work -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 09:57 2
    - Waiting For Superman is also supposed to be good -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 09:58 1
      - Keep on waiting. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 10:17
- Tucker & Dale vs Evil! Also, the animation stuff all looks awesome. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:53 4
  - (I'm still making my way through the trailers for the RI Fest. Only thing circled so far is Waking Sleeping Beauty.) -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 09:55 2
    - which, while we're perusing obscure film fest titles, if any of these jump out... -- (link) - TFox Jul 23, 09:58 1
      - The only thing I recognize that I've seen is a short called TUB which was just odd. - ty97 Jul 23, 10:04
  - Tucker and Dale is a fun movie. -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 09:54
- Me and Orson Welles is good. -- nm - Dano Jul 23, 09:48
that's a roll -- nm - JenBro Jul 23, 09:39 3
- *thows a rock* now it's music -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 09:40 2
  - *throws a hand grenade* now it's war -- nm - mara, jogger Jul 23, 09:43 1
