        To extend my analogy, this is complaining the those damn puppy dogs never do shakespear. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 27, 09:56 2
        
        As long as they play poker, they're fine. -- nm - David Jul 27, 09:56 1

- We have some in place, plus all the others around here are getting them -- nm - budice Jul 27, 09:42 2
  - here, too. they're nice additions, -- nm - b. Jul 27, 09:53
  - All of them here have groceries as of a couple years ago. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 09:43
- Wow, all of them getting rid of their garden centers. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 09:41 2
  - Yup, I was surprised that some still had them, Ours closed a couple of years back. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 27, 09:45
  - I am astounded any stores turn a profit on that stuff. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 09:42
- So wait, why are they not Super Targets, then? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 09:40 4
  - I'd guess because SuperTargets have "22,000 square feet for food sales." - JaxSean Jul 27, 09:43 3

  - I've heard the female lead in the foreign version is good. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 27, 09:36 1

      - I know I blew it. It should have gone under David's post -- nm - amoxy Jul 27, 10:03 1
        
        At least you commited to it. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:04
  - Middle Finger -- nm - amoxy Jul 27, 09:41
  - Other Pinkie -- nm - amoxy Jul 27, 09:41
  - Pinkie -- nm - amoxy Jul 27, 09:41

  - Uh huh. - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 09:37
  - While he's doing his nails. I totally believe this. -- nm - David Jul 27, 09:36 4
    - I don't believe for a second that he has to coordination to drive and do his nails at the same time. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 27, 09:39
    - she told me he has a file things for fingernails now. - Remlik Jul 27, 09:38 2
      - I bet he spends about 8 minutes each morning twirling in front of mirrors. -- nm - David Jul 27, 09:39 1
        
        from what I hear The Bub just shakes his head in dissmay. - Remlik Jul 27, 09:55

- Also any MM fans on ST go to other sites for recaps of eps? Slate or anywhere else? -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 27, 09:31 2

  - i'm not a big fan of MM i like Toblerone mere -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 27, 09:34
LIR: sycor. You can also use tricks like this to integrate XBMC into Windows Media Center and get the best of both -- (link) - oblique Jul 27, 09:30 7
- interesting. so with the zotac I would need a HDD. anything else? does it come with windows 7 or is that a seperate purchase too? -- nm - sycor Jul 27, 09:34 6
  - From the looks of it, a HDD and Windows 7. If you're connecting it to your TV you don't need a monitor but you'll want - oblique Jul 27, 09:36 5
    - I should note that it doesn't appear to have a DVD drive built in so you'll need an external - oblique Jul 27, 09:39 4
      - hmmm at that point I may as well have bought a whole mini tower PC. lol -- nm - sycor Jul 27, 09:40 3
        
        and the DVD drive is entirely optional. With USB sticks you don't really need it anymore unless you want to use it as a DVD or Bluray player - oblique Jul 27, 09:44 1
        
        so the zotac+windows+HDD+remote is about $475. -- nm - sycor Jul 27, 09:50
        
        yeah, but these ION based systems are *dead* silent -- nm - oblique Jul 27, 09:41

*blinkblinkblink* "the vagabond cat that came to stay" nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 27, 09:28 2
- that's a lot of words in the NYT for a cat. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 09:36
- d'oh! -- nm - b. Jul 27, 09:29
