  - If a printer weren't working, why not walk up to the info desk and ask if the librarian can fix it? -- nm - mara Aug 12, 13:06
- So you can read it later by the printer? -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 13:02

You know what browsers need? A better way to save favorites. - TWuG Aug 12, 12:44 11
- Also, I've used Google Bookmarks in the past as it has this feature (as part of the Google Toolbar) -- (link) - oblique Aug 12, 13:00 3
  - yeah, I use the bookmarks from the toolbar all the time -- nm - decline Aug 12, 13:02 1
    - I'm not sure I understand why Chrome has Bookmarks that are different than Google Bookmarks from the toolbar -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 13:04

  - Interesting, but not at all (as far as I can tell) what I'm looking for. -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 12:46 1
    - I use it to save bookmarks and tag them for multiple categories. The trick would be getting it back into the browser for use as a "Favorite" which - oblique Aug 12, 12:48

  - farmers that *have* wheat are doing a happy dance. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 12:53 2
    - No word of a lie...We were scouting picture locations last weekend and couldn't find any wheat fields bordering twenty-five miles of highway. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 12:58 1

- ~Oooooh yeah...oooooh yeah~ -- nm - Lance Bass Aug 12, 12:40
- This whole summer has sucked. The heat is just stupid. -- nm - TWuG Aug 12, 12:39 1
  - If I hear/read the foercast "hot and humid" a few more times I might haveta choke a bitch. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 12:40
Jays/Sox spoils.... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 12:36 35
- Son. of. a..... (fantasy sport cursing) - musubi Aug 12, 12:47
- we saw it live a few weeks ago. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 12, 12:38 14
  - i'm starting to think they're going to let him walk after next season. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:40 12
    - They'll trade him if possible obviously. - Mel Profit Aug 12, 12:45 8
      - See, they'll get two draft picks even if they keep him. So the trade I think is unlikely, because I don't see anyone unloading the farm system. - TFox Aug 12, 12:51 7
        
        I'd forgotten about the draft picks. - Mel Profit Aug 12, 12:56
        
        Can they afford to affor him arbitration? - musubi Aug 12, 12:55 5
        
        he won't make *that* much in arbitration. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:56 3
        
        oh wait. you mean Pap. I switched to Bautista. Sure they can. Look what they gave Tek just to save face at backup catcher. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:57 2
        
        (but i disagree he'd accept. he's been talking about hitting free agency since like 200friggin6.) -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:58 1
        
        It'd be a one-year deal, likely in the $10-12M range. Not like becoming a FA in 2011 would be *that* much difference. - musubi Aug 12, 13:01
        
        "offer". Jeebus, brain, don't make me stab you with a q-tip. (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 12:56
    - I've been living for a year thinking it was fait accompli. You mean there's a chance there isn't? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 12:41 2
      - He's playing hardball, but he's not a valueless player, and the fans love him. - TFox Aug 12, 12:43 1
        
        and they kind of knew this regression was possible. - Mel Profit Aug 12, 12:47
  - I was just about to post that but I didn't want to seem all schadenfreude and sh!t. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 12:39
- I was going to say "Joe Carter 2.0" but he does actually walk a fair bit more. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 12:38 18
  - He'll never have another 40-45HR season, but I can definitely see 30-35HR regularly. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 12:43 17
    - they should have sold high. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:53 6
      - They had their price and didn't feel anyone came close. Plus, he continues to give them options for 3rd, which is open next season at the moment. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 12:55 5
        
        i'm skeptical that their price wasn't totally ill-advised. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:59 2
        
        AA was high on a number of guys, but if they weren't going to get majors prospects back, what would they need position guys for? - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:08
        
        this reeks of Brady Anderson. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 12, 13:00

        There's a few intangibles coming into play, but the biggest pair are 3rd base and Yunel Escobar. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:05
    - he is a career platoon player. Don't get too excited. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 12, 12:47 9
      - [deleted] 8
        
        now, he did hit 15 in 2007, with 36 doubles, so if half those doubles - groiny Aug 12, 13:03
        
        at 29 in Dominican years, (32 american), his career best HR was 16. - groiny Aug 12, 12:54 1
        
        Baltimore, KC, Pirates, Tampa, Pirates, Toronto. - groiny Aug 12, 12:56
        
        don't they have scouts, that tap the GM and say "ahem... just an fyi, this production is bullshit. move him." -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:54 4
        
        where's musubi and his sample size shit? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 12, 12:58 3
        
        Ha! You guys have covered it pretty well. There's pretty good reason to think this season is a big outlier. - musubi Aug 12, 13:03 2
        
        I have not heard of anything drastic on his part that would explain it.... - groiny Aug 12, 13:05 1
        
        It's in his mechanics. Changed them during May-June last year with Cito (a natural hitter's coach) and Gene Tenace. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:13
*does not feel like riverdancing today* nm -- nm - Papelbon Aug 12, 12:36
so smarties, if an excel file has protection on it, and I do not know the password.... - groiny Aug 12, 12:34 11
- Can you copy and paste the information into a new workbook? Or can you not even open it? -- nm - sycor Aug 12, 13:05
- i think the password crackers are just brute force ones and could take a very long time (if ever) to open the file. -- nm - zork Aug 12, 12:38 4
  - they pretty much all are brute force - time depends on cpu speed and length of password - decline Aug 12, 12:39 3
    - I think most of the one's I've used have be in the few minutes range, never very long at all -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 12:39 2
      - I had one take a couple hours, but that was a few years ago on an older pc -- nm - decline Aug 12, 12:41
      - the 2007 version uses much stronger encryption and could take a very long time. -- nm - zork Aug 12, 12:40
- Easy. Tons of brute force crackers. Doesn't take long. -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 12:37
- you need to crack it. -- (link) - decline Aug 12, 12:36
- you might be able to find a macro that can crack it. excel passwords aren't all that. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:35
- You are SOL -- nm - amoxy Aug 12, 12:34 1
  - pretty much, as far as I know. You can probably use something like this online: -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 12, 12:36

regarding the kids buying tickets and flying - my 16 year old granddaughter needed two forms of govt id and they had to be originals, not copies. - CrankYanker Aug 12, 12:32 2
- So 16 must be the cut off because those 3 kids were under 16 and didn't need any of that stuff :) -- nm - decline Aug 12, 12:47 1
  - yeah, I'm sure if she had been 2 years old we wouldn't have gone thru as much hassle! -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 12, 12:51
(and no, she hadn't signed up for Stalker this summer) -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:27
I was pretty sure that I'd signed the note..... -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:27 3
- it's totally my fault - it was below the fold line and I didn't look for it because I thought that was part of the deal - trying to figure out who it - JenBro Aug 12, 12:42 1
  - it can be. I've done it both ways. I don't think Strongbad has ever known that I sent him a shirt a few years ago. -- nm - zork Aug 12, 12:43
- btw, there is no choice here either for cable companies. each region is locked up by one company. -- nm - zork Aug 12, 12:30
Diva, I love triple D. He has some great places and meets some really good people - amoxy Aug 12, 12:26 1

  - it's rolling out. look at the top stories here. nm but: -- (link) - b. Aug 12, 12:42
- so mad rushes to the courthouse? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 12:27 1

OT producer Gary Kurtz on how "Jedi" was originally outlined: Han Solo dies halfway through, Leia is queen of a tattered Rebel army in the end, Luke -- (link) - moles Aug 12, 12:25 14
- This just fuels my rage about the prequels. There's a scene where Anakin actually whines "It's not fair!" Holy sh*t, that's top notch writing. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Aug 12, 12:48
- Apocalypse Now by...Lucas? - Mel Profit Aug 12, 12:41 1
  - between him, Coppola, and Milius, it's hard to say whose that film really is -- nm - moles Aug 12, 13:01
- there's an error in that article and I'm not sure whose fault it is. - Diva Aug 12, 12:34 7
  - No there was a rerelease sometime in 78 and they added it then -- nm - amoxy Aug 12, 12:53 2
    - Wookiepedia sez rerelease in 1981 was where it happened after 'Empire' came out. - Diva Aug 12, 13:14
    - The article makes it sound like it was there all along. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 12:56
  - i thought it was before the ep.5 during a second release -- nm - zork Aug 12, 12:42
  - back off gentlemen...this geekgirl is mine. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 12, 12:40 1
    - its too bad she is finding more geekgirls for the other geeks on st. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 12, 12:44
  - I was about to post that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 12:36
- probably would have been better than the crap Lucas finally decided on -- nm - decline Aug 12, 12:34 2
  - Mostly yes, but a little no. It would have made for a much better film but the younger of the audience would have not liked it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 12:39 1
    - my little brother, 7 at the time, bawled his ever-lovin eyes out that Darth Vader died -- nm - moles Aug 12, 13:03

I want to know if Redmond puts on his robe and wizard hat on their Facebook chats. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 12:23 5
