Also, some trailer thoughts - Reagen Jul 30, 22:01 1
- Saw the trailer for RED before Salt tonight, that looks fantastic - amoxy Jul 30, 22:25
Watched the pilot for Pillars of the Earth. Snooze fest. Season pass: cancelled. - TWuG Jul 30, 21:52 1
- I think we live on opposite planets. Out of curiousityy, have you read the book? - Trish Jul 31, 12:36
Now watching: Skins, Season 2 -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 30, 21:52
Remember folks, offsite backups are important. My parents came home tonight to find both their computers and their backup drive stolen. - Ender Jul 30, 21:43 15
- Anything I am that concerned about, I just email to myself so it will be in my Sent email box. I have some stuff in there from as early as June 2000. -- nm - not2fast Jul 31, 00:30
- also in case of fire, the backups are usually on the shelf right next or right above the computer and usually suffer the same fate as the box -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 30, 22:43
- Not at all related but how the heck is your project still on 18th? I know a bunch of people vote daily and still no movement for a while. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 21:57 4
  - I don't know. :( -- nm - Ender Jul 30, 21:58 3
    - Seriously, it's bothering me. I really wanted you to get to the top 10 by the end of the month. Do you know if it'll keep going in Aug.? -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 22:00 2
      - I don't know yet, we'll have to see. -- nm - Ender Jul 30, 22:03 1
        
        *crosses fingers* It's a worthwhile project that could be really helpful. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 22:05
- how much does something like this cost? -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 21:45 7
  - Carbonite's $55 a year, there may be cheaper options out there. - Ender Jul 30, 21:49 6
    - Even "second hard drive placed at someone else's house" would work. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 21:52 3
      - or just one hidden in your own house. unless there was a fire. -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 21:55 1
        
        Or tornado, or flood, or any of about a dozen other things. It's better than nothing but ideally you really want it outside of the house. - Ender Jul 30, 22:03
      - True The only downside of that is that you probably wouldn't backup as often. - Ender Jul 30, 21:54
    - are there limits to what kind of stuff you can backup? like mp3s, videos etc? -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 21:49 1
      - As far as I know it doesn't by default include videos or files over 4GB in the backup but you can manually set those to be included in the automatic backup too. -- nm - Ender Jul 30, 21:52
Is it me or does this photo look like it was taken in some weird perspective chamber or photoshopped together? -- (link) - Dano Jul 30, 21:41 2
- Burr Steers' gigantic head will devour us all! -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 21:44
- I say: wide angle lens plus flash at dusk. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 21:44
I don't know which is worse, that for about 30 seconds I couldn't remember my grandfather's first name, or that it's the same as my middle name... -- nm - Ender Jul 30, 21:24 6
- oh, is this a poll? Frederick and Louis. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 21:27 4
  - They're both the same, can't really be two names. :) -- nm - Ender Jul 30, 22:09 3
    - both grandfathers are the same name? -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 22:20 2
      - I think you're confused. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 22:22 1
        
        that's not unusual. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 22:31
- senior moment? -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 21:26
I don't know exactly how I feel about Inception just yet, but the score was gorgeous. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 21:16 5
- Another thing that has stuck with me since seeing it. (not really spoilers) - Dano Jul 30, 21:21 4
  - Wait, you hate Memento? Guh? - Reagen Jul 30, 21:51 2
    - Yes. Hate it. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 21:52 1
      - I can't conceive of this. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 21:53
  - It's the MacGuffiniest MacGuffin there ever was. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 21:22
Holy moly. The Rockies just scored 12 runs.... with 2 outs in the 8th inning. - musubi, adorable and right Jul 30, 21:12 4
- Unbelievable, I turned it off as the Rockies came to bat in the 8th. Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 21:13 3
  - BF Vamps trade talk... - budice Jul 30, 21:33 1
    - I don't think so. I have two very good WR's. I'd say both are top 10. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 21:55
  - There aren't words to explain how crazy that string of hits is. - musubi, adorable and right Jul 30, 21:16
They switched to the generic form of my acid reflux med. It is not working and I think it actually might be making me more sick. (nm) - sycor Jul 30, 21:01 9
- ugh. which one? -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 21:01 8
  - zegerid. I've been on it for over a year. I've been more nauseous in the last 3 days than I have been in the last 6 months. -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 21:08 7
    - omeprazole. I've used it. it was good for me. that really sucks. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 21:13 6
      - yeah my reflux got so bad before I found a med that would work that I was vomiting almost daily. but I never had heart burn. - sycor Jul 30, 21:23 5
        
        not everyone gets heartburn, apparently. I didn't. that really sucks. have you tried other meds like zantac? - loosilu Jul 30, 21:28 4
        
        when it was first happening they tried 3 or 4 meds but none worked very well. I know zegerid has an OTC now so I will get some of that to get me - sycor Jul 30, 21:36 3
        
        I get it from Costco, but the OTC is only 20 mg. you might need two. it is good stuff. - loosilu Jul 30, 21:39 2
        
        zantac does both -- nm - Bacon on a phone Jul 30, 21:46
        
        apparently I was wrong about zantac. ask Redmond, I don't know. - loosilu Jul 30, 21:41
At Home at the End of the Earth is a vastly underrated movie. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 30, 20:52
More things I love (besides the crazy Russian man kissing the mini giraffe) M&Ms with the pretzel in the middle, Pillars of the Earth (ep3 tonight!) - Trish Jul 30, 20:41 2
- That Russian makes me laugh every time I see him kiss that mini-giraffe. - Krusty Jul 30, 21:14
- His mother has a tattoo that says "son". It is said that his beard has experienced more than the average man's entire body. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 21:04
I don't know who should get the next save opportunity for the O's. I just know it isn't Alfredo Simon. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 30, 20:38
DMTV: Burn Notice or Psych? -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:32 5
- They're both exceptional this week. -- nm - David Jul 30, 20:39
- or Rizzoli and Isles? -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:34 3
  - Burn Notice followed by Psych. I still have Rizzoli and Isles waiting on the Tivo--this is drop week for me if there's no improvement. - Trish Jul 30, 20:44 2
    - I just gave up on Rizzoli and Isles...Only one trouble though... - BAD Jul 30, 20:56
    - BN it is. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:49
where is spawn? people are already trash talking him in halo -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 20:29
Did anyone happen to watch Wheel of Fortune tonight ? .,.. I would have sworn that good ol' Pat said ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 30, 20:25
"Casualties expected to be high" in Iran earthquake -- (link) - mara Jul 30, 20:16 1
- obviously caused by the zionistic west -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 20:18
Yanks get Kearns for a player to be named later. Berkman has waived his no-trade and should be a Yankee tomorrow. -- nm - Redman si Jul 30, 20:09 7
- Still need a relief pitcher, our pen is weak. - Krusty Jul 30, 20:13 5
  - You know, you could root for a real team that actually has to play by the rules. -- nm - nubby Jul 30, 20:57 2
    - They play by the rules, it's the rules that don't work. Also, I've been a fan since around '83 or so and it wasn't easy with the most NY jumping on - Krusty Jul 30, 21:06 1
      - I do root for the Cubs and Pirates in the NL. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 21:07
  - i wonder how meany teams have less payroll then the combined amount of the yankiess infield - tRuMaN Jul 30, 20:18 1
    - Sadly it's more than one which is too many. I'm all for a salary cap of some kind even though it would like mean the Yanks don't win as often. - Krusty Jul 30, 20:25
- *sfan -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 20:09
Watched the first two episodes of The Glades. Not horrible, but not worth investing any more time. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 20:03
oh yes. a "history". -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 19:54 8
- *gets popcorn* sounds like a story ... I'm ready :) -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 19:55 6
  - more like abstract art, i think. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 19:59 5
    - On the sidewalk. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:00 4
      - it was bold, daring work. it encapsulated the lament of the modern city dweller. -- nm - znurfii Jul 30, 20:01
      - ohhhhhh *lightbulb over head* ... kelly barfed on mango daquiries? -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 20:01 2
        
        mangoritas, technically - chuckles Jul 30, 20:05 1
        
        they were evil even before they were made into margaritas... -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 20:06
- with ST witnesses! -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 19:55
you know, there is a lot about pixie i can accept, but his seemingly - tRuMaN Jul 30, 19:53 15
- The subject matter never gripped me. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 21:06
- i don't really hate the show itself. i always knew it was something so inconsequential as to not even demand my attention -- nm - chuckles Jul 30, 19:56 6
  - wait ... demand or command? - JenBro Jul 30, 19:57 5
    - i doubt it could command my attention even if i thought it was worth watching in the first place -- nm - chuckles Jul 30, 20:01 4
      - It would be the most instructive course you could ever take in great writing. - David Jul 30, 20:25 2
        
        except his notes would be horribly written and later he wouldnt be able to understand them -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 20:29 1
        
        I can relate. -- nm - David Jul 30, 20:31
      - its ok, you're wrong -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 20:21
- I'm stunned that we never knew he is Spawnlike about food. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 19:53 6
  - there have been hints. but in truth, we should note thta spawn is pixie like in food. - tRuMaN Jul 30, 19:55 5
    - No one is above Spawn. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 19:55 4 1
      - "i'll take 'posts i thought i'd never see' for $300, alex." -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 19:57 3
        
        if we are ranking food issues, it's no surprise. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:00 2
        
        My food issues are miniscule compared to Spawn's--but it just makes me adore him more. - Trish Jul 30, 20:30 1
        
        I mostly don't fault Spawn because I think he is a supertaster. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:33
my crippled wife just shot friggin par at mini golf. it was bad enough when she pwned me with a reasonable facsimile of health. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 19:51 6
- girls got skillz - JenBro Jul 30, 19:53
- Maybe you just suck. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 19:52 4
  - maybe, but i can't suck her into shooting par. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 19:54 3
    - your cat is cute. boy cat? I read somewhere that most orange tabbies are boys. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:01 1
      - yep. Simon. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 20:02
    - euphamism? -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 19:58
Joey Votto played so well tonight that I just became a fan of his on Facebook. -- nm - David Jul 30, 19:47
why didn't you take it? -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 19:43 2
- whatever it takes to cleanse the board of sorkin taint -- nm - chuckles Jul 30, 19:44 1
  - ok ... that went right over my head ... and I haven't even been drinking. -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 19:47
