  - i'm not into poker but have watched a few programs. I hate when the noise of them playing with the chips is as loud as the commentators. - zork Aug 4, 11:39 1
    - sometimes the commentators are just plain stupid -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 11:39

    - he was standing in the mirror with his junk tucked - groiny Aug 4, 11:25

- Can I just say that I'd rather watch fox news than Nancy grace? ick -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 11:21 1

  - word. I quit watching when I realized there would be no fatal accidents. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 11:31
  - good padding. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 4, 11:20 3
    - Even still, necks don't bend that way. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:25 1
      - Exactly, padding just absorbs some energy from collisions, it doesn't stop them or make some of those hits any less horrifying. - zombie musubi Aug 4, 11:28
    - still - it is amazing cause it looks extremely painful -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 11:21

  - Wait, really? -- nm - David Aug 4, 11:32 2
    - Everett said something to the effect of "the bible doesn't mention dinosaurs, so I don't believe they existed". (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 11:39 1

- Stop trying to kill Bo, Hope! -- nm - Dano's Mom Aug 4, 11:09
VLIR: David. Not that you probably want to actually move to cloud storage but Livedrive offers unlimited space -- (link) - oblique Aug 4, 11:04 9
- Thanks, I'll look into this after lunch. -- nm - David Aug 4, 11:13 1
  - My coworker uses it. Really likes it for the "drive" aspect of it. Not a backup solution per se, but a real drive he can access -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 11:28
- A number of the services claim "unlimited" though. (I imagine the initial backup would take... a long time.) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:05 6
  - Amazon S3 is always an option also but you pay simply per GB and for the transfer bandwidth -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 11:07 5
    - I meant stuff like Mozy, Carbonite, Crashplan, etc. They all claim unlimited. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:08 4
      - What to watch out for is that all of those are true backup services and you cannot access the files "live" like a drive. Livedrive is a little - oblique Aug 4, 11:27 1
        
        that's true. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:28
      - The thing I worry about with all of them is sustainability. I know that Amazon is going to be around. -- nm - David Aug 4, 11:24 1
        
        True, althought Mozy is backed by EMC which will also probably be around for a while -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 11:27
Confessions of a Tea Party Casualty - Rep Bob Inglis -- (link) - amoxy Aug 4, 11:04 31
- "Inglis has criticized Republican House leaders for acquiescing to a poisonous, tea party-driven "demagoguery" that he believes will undermine the GOP - David Aug 4, 11:31 2
  - "...and by 'demagoguery' you mean...?" - znufrii Aug 4, 11:35
  - Totally true. Heck, a couple STers are teabaggers. Stunning. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:34
- So this guy admits he was a douchbag for going after Clinton? -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 4, 11:17 8
  - Yes. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:20
  - Basically. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:19
  - Honestly, it's great to see that kind of reflection, and in public too. -- nm - Roger More Aug 4, 11:19 5
    - I suppose it's something... - Mel Profit Aug 4, 11:25 4
      - I know I'm bright-siding, but I didn't really follow US politics before 2002 or so, so didn't get caught up in the whole Clinton saga -- nm - Roger More Aug 4, 11:31 3
        
        Limbaugh's show was occasionally played at my school. It was just as polished an act as Howard Stern. Just sub in "Vince Foster murdered" for lesbians -- nm - David Aug 4, 11:38
        
        Basically, it was grasping at every straw you could to the point that when you finally got him caught on something, people were tired of it all. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:32 1
        
        Heh - I know the gist of it, but I wouldn't know any of the personalities except for Clinton, Lewinsky, her roommate and Kenneth Starr -- nm - Roger More Aug 4, 11:35
- Defeated = disgruntled. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 11:16 10
  - "Nothing to see here, folks. Move along." -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:20
  - Doesn't that describe the entire Tea Party movement? "We lost! Waaaaah!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 11:18 8
    - Which election did the Tea Party lose? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 11:19 7
      - Judging by their platform, every election since about 1980. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:25
      - 1964 -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 11:23
      - that NY congressional one, for a start. But the movement comes close to entirely out of people who didn't vote for Obama. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 11:22 4
        
        How the hell is that 15 minutes not up yet? (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 11:31 2
        
        they vote. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 11:35 1
        
        It was a rhetorical question, mo-mo. (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 11:38
        
        *ding* -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 11:22
- I'm so over the Tea Partiers. Can everyone just realize they are glorifying their titles as ignorant racist individuals? -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 11:13 6
  - "Everyone plese stop slowing down to rubberneck at the car crash." -- nm - JaxSean Aug 4, 11:19
  - If everyone could realize that, they wouldn't matter. Unfortunately, many can't. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:17 1
    - Yeah. Between the Prop 8 announcement, and NOM coming to DC next weekend I can't wait. - MDH Aug 4, 11:19
  - Look! He said "I'm so ... racist"! -- nm - Andrew Breitbart Aug 4, 11:14 2
    - neechay -- nm - JaxSean Aug 4, 11:16
    - heh! -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:15
- Interesting, thanks for the post. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:05
2PM: 97 degrees, feels like 110. In other words, it's HOT. - CovingtonCat Aug 4, 11:03 4
- 86�, feels like 93�. Not too bad out. 66% Humidity. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 4, 11:10
- 72 and no humidity. aahhh -- nm - chuckles Aug 4, 11:05
- Yeah this whole excessive heat warnings every day thing got old about two weeks ago. -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 11:04
- It was 86 at 8am today. - Spawn Aug 4, 11:04
and, its another paternity episode! -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:01 9
- when i was at home i got strangely attached to the Dr. Oz show. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 11:07 1
  - hmm, I should see when that's on. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:19
- by the time you're dragging a third or fourth guy in for testing you don't deserve to hang anything on him including child support -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:04 6
  - and now a girl brought out three guys. None of them are the father. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:20
  - I'm betting the one right now is not the father. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:06 4
    - did you see this? -- (link) - zork Aug 4, 11:11 3
      - interesting! but kinda ugly, don't you think? -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:22 2
        
        so's your ... err, I mean, it could look OK in a classroom or TA's office -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:28 1
        
        sure. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:37
have we talked about the GAO undercover report on FPE? -- (link) - workmanda Aug 4, 11:00 4
- not sure if you've seen this -- (link) - zork Aug 4, 11:13 [Image]
- Steve Eisman (one of the few who shorted the mortgage market before the bust) calls FPE his next big short -- nm - chuckles Aug 4, 11:01 2
  - fwiw -- (link) - chuckles Aug 4, 11:03 1
    - oh, I've been saying it since january. -- nm - workmanda Aug 4, 11:04
~Children are innocent. A teenager's f*cked up in the head. Adults are even more f*cked up. And elderlies are like children.~ -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:57 3
- Maybe martians could do better than we've done. nm - Dignan Aug 4, 11:01 2
  - We'll make great pets! -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:06 1
    - i don't understand why we have to build a ray gun to aim at a planet i never even heard of! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 4, 11:07
b2 you are . . . not the father! -- nm - chuckles Aug 4, 10:57 1
- b2... I am your father. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 11:16
The Tim Burton hate ends... now -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 10:57 26
- I haven't liked anything of his since Edward Scissorhands -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 11:05 1
  - Sleepy Hollow is a fantastic rewatchable movie imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:16
- I wish he would stop casting HBC in everything. -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 11:03 4
  - I think he feels some what obligated at this point -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 11:21
  - agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 4, 11:15
  - Yeah! She's... terrible?? -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:11
  - yeah, that will go over well on the home front. -- nm - prayformojo Aug 4, 11:05
- Tell him to stop making crap like Mars Attacks and Alice in Wonderland and we're good. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 10:58 18
  - Don't forget Planet of the Apes -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 11:06
  - Eh, Mars Attacks was like a B-movie on 'roids. By definition, not for everyone. -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:01 8
    - there were parts I liked at lot but yeah it fails overall. -- nm - Remlik Aug 4, 11:10
    - I love most B-movies. Just not crappy ones. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:02 6
      - B-movies are be definition crappy. -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 11:04 5
        
        I think it just refers to their budget, not their quality. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:06 2
        
        B-movies, in Burton's case of the 1950's Sci Fi variety, have influenced today's filmmakers, so today we have a "B-movie aesthetic" - con_carne Aug 4, 11:13
        
        Typically low budget, yes, though I think that's a bit too simplistic of a definition. It's kind of like "I know it when I see it" almost. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:10
        
        Nah, they're campy. Big difference. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:06 1
        
        Speaking of B-movies, Parana 3D! Animals eating people + 3D = $$$$$? -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 11:07
  - Considering Alice in Wonderland is the highest grossing movie of all time, I doubt he will listen. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 11:00 6
    - You aren't even trying anymore. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:01 5
      - More-or-less. -- (link) - Spawn Aug 4, 11:07 4
        
        Well, 1 is 2.5x as high, 2nd place is 1.8x as high... - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:09 3
        
        A shitty movie that nobody goes to see is not quite the same as a shitty movie that everyone goes to see. - Spawn Aug 4, 11:11 2
        
        I did. Five times. (And have another one upcoming if its re-released in my local AMC 24) -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 11:17 1
        
        Maybe your make-over should include blue dye? - Spawn Aug 4, 11:26
  - Ack! ACK! ACK! ACK! Ack! Ack! ACK! -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 11:00
