Is the rom-com dead? -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 9, 10:07 10
- I think there's only ever been 1 or 2 great rom-coms produced each year, but it's not dead as a format. -- nm - LMS Aug 9, 10:18
- it's mostly dead because hollywood makes movies for the international audience now & american rom coms don't travel at all well...nm - xi Aug 9, 10:10 3
  - Most comedies are in the same boat. -- nm - Inigo Aug 9, 10:27 2

    - oh damn. A year? :( -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 10:33
- tangent, I wanted to watch an Inspector Lewis movie last night on PBS and the local stations signal bombed out -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 10:09 4
  - It's not the same as Morse so you probably didn't really miss out. -- nm - LMS Aug 9, 10:18 3
    - thats a shame, I enjoyed Inspector Morse -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 10:19 2
      - It's slightly less serious. -- nm - LMS Aug 9, 10:22 1

My Saturday consisted of taking the kids to the fair for 2 hours on Saturday, followed immediately by a birthday party for 2 hours. - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 09:56 1
- I love birthday parties now. My kids are old enough it is a drop-off event. 2 hours free woo! -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 09:57
I have no idea why weather forecasters have bothered to even show up the last month. It's been the same 95+ and maybe a storm if you're lucky. -- nm - Qale Aug 9, 09:54

- hey, it's a good thing two celebrities are involved....nm - xi Aug 9, 09:53 1
  - a fair and unfortunate point - Reagen Aug 9, 09:59
- I think I'll have to side with Mia on this one. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 09:53
- I keep hearing this on the news and thinking I'm listening to the Onion or something -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 09:52 1

from b2: Kilbo: How does that game company have any idea how many people are pirating their game? Sounds like a marketing gimmick to me. -- nm - Qale Aug 9, 09:49 6
- Could be. Could interpolation. X users download patches. Y users have purchased. If X > Y by an exorbitant amount, you can infer a level of piracy - oblique Aug 9, 09:52 5
  - I suppose you're right about patches, but if it pings the home site that's kinda-sorta a handsoff version of DRM. Personally, it looks like, no one - Qale Aug 9, 09:53 4
    - Since I got back onto Steam, I've bought more games in the past year than I have for a long time. I love the service and what it provides. DRM done - oblique Aug 9, 09:55 3
      - I agree for the most part. There are some *really* terrible games on Steam though. (The Magic: Plainswalkers to name one. nt.) -- nm - Qale Aug 9, 09:57 2
        
        Sure. It's just a distribution channel so you're bound to get lots of crap like any "store". BTW, if you play PC games on Steam, join our group! -- (link) - oblique Aug 9, 10:01 1
        
        Done, though, I don't get so into it with the in game chat or what not. I'm a pretty terrible gamer. -- nm - Qale Aug 9, 10:07

I think we've done this before, but: During the last 10 years, what in your opinion has been the weakest division in the NFL? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 9, 09:44 8
- NFC and AFC West, probably the latter. -- nm - David Aug 9, 10:35
- This should probably since 2002, before then there were just 6 NFL divisions. -- nm - Inigo Aug 9, 10:03
- Once the Rams faded, it's been the NFC West. -- nm - Inigo Aug 9, 09:50
- AFC South.....Colts have carried it rather easily for a decade with no one really pushing them. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 09:50 2
  - This is what I was thinking, but I'm pretty sure my anit-Colts bias influences that -- nm - prayformojo Aug 9, 09:55
  - IIRC, the Colts have the best record in teh NFL during the last ten years. The Jags have made the playoffs three or four times in that time period. - Inigo Aug 9, 09:54
- AFC West, NFC West, NFC North. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 09:47
- It pains me to say it but the AFC West. -- nm - Jim Aug 9, 09:46

- *curses* I fell to 3rd place! Way to go, Pippy and Shay. - JaxSean Aug 9, 09:49 5
  - It'll be very close. Pippy plateaued this week so you certainly have a chance. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 9, 09:55
  - Ebola! -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 09:53 3

jax., AA does have a way to get back your miles right now... for a price. - b. Aug 9, 09:39 8
- I haven't even checked my AA mileage. This was for Delta. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 09:44 2
  - I.. knew that, and then forgot in an aam moment! maybe delta has something similar? -- nm - b. Aug 9, 09:47 1
    - heh. It's still not enough to get a ticket, so I'm not raising hell. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 10:16
- Doesn't strike me as a very good deal. If it's 25000 miles for a round trip ticket, you'd basically need to pay $280 to reactivate 25000 miles. - pmb Aug 9, 09:41 4
  - yah, it depends on the trip and what's available for the miles. -- nm - b. Aug 9, 09:45 3
    - ack. (im errata.) -- nm - b. Aug 9, 09:46 2
      - get a hold of yourself, woman -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 09:47 1
        
        maybe later, but I'm at work now. (ba-dum-dum.) -- nm - b. Aug 9, 09:48
*calls the calgary desk with a hot tip* -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 09:37 3
- I'm sure there's an ointment for that. -- nm - pmb Aug 9, 09:42
- You wouldn't get me there - Reagen Aug 9, 09:41 1
  - logically the Calgary desk should be somewhere outside Calgary. - mafic Aug 9, 09:47
