Cell phone question...we are getting Blackberries through T-Mobile, and have a question about web access inside - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 08:37 2
- My iPhone can use WiFi. I suspect the BBs can, as well. - Beryllium Dec 11, 08:40 1
  - at least, I suspect some BB models can -- nm - Beryllium Dec 11, 08:41
I have an embarassing picture of me playing the cowbell. I say screw it, I should post the damn thing. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 11, 08:36 4
- Euphemism? -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 11, 08:38 3
  - Aw, screw it (link) - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 11, 08:40 [flickr] 2
    - Awesome! Any by the way, when does the new Foo Fighters album drop? -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 11, 08:42
    - damn blocked at work!! I need more cowbell! -- nm - Epiphany Dec 11, 08:41
Is anyone else not "logged in" to Woot and now can't? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:35 4
- I just logged in with no problem. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:40
- Yeah, I'm getting the same error message I was getting 5 minutes ago. -- nm - kelly Dec 11, 08:36
- Yeah, I hit a coding error screen. -- nm - TFox Dec 11, 08:35 1
  - Oddly I can get to my Account page. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:38
I basically don't have a laptop and could use one with DVDRW and wifi. Someone give me good reasons not to get the current woot laptop. -- nm - Max Dec 11, 08:24 7
- Because it's sold out -- nm - Guigue Dec 11, 08:29 1
  - The best reason of all. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:30
- Those features are extremely common in laptops now and you're bound to find a better deal elsewhere? -- nm - con_carne Dec 11, 08:28
- You need to save your money for that antique Chandler & Price platen press so you can do your own letterpress printing. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:27 2
  - Somebody else knows Printing Presses...I thought I would be the only one in the bunch... - BAD Dec 11, 08:40
  - *adds to christmas list* -- nm - Max Dec 11, 08:31
- The usual woot answer: refurb. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:26
Sharp 42" LCD 1080p $696.57 shipped. This is an insanely good deal, right? -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:22 10
- Dang. I'd almost buy that ... but I'm looking for a 46" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 11, 08:26 8
  - size queen! -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 08:33
  - Does four inches really make that much of a difference? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:28 6
    - Another answer (but sorta reverse logic), not if it is for the bedroom. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:32 2
      - In the bedroom, bigger is better - Guigue Dec 11, 08:35 1
        
        As I said, reverse logic. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:41
    - Yes. I noticed a huge difference when I went from 46" to 50". -- nm - Shaun Dec 11, 08:31
    - It's not the size, it's the frequency? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:30 1
      - oh, right - I'm looking for a 46" 120hz Sharp Aquos. But if I wasn't looking for that, this would be a good deal. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 11, 08:31
- Yes, very good. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 11, 08:22
callisto: -- (link) - prayformojo Dec 11, 08:12 [Image] 1
- this is one of those times when I'm at my desk cracking up and I know people are wondering, "what the hell?" -- nm - Callisto Dec 11, 08:14
$25 for a graphics tablet? *twitch* *curses David* -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:10 5
- huh? If it's not a wacob it's shit. -- nm - lileve Dec 11, 08:12 3
  - Wacom rather. -- nm - lileve Dec 11, 08:12 2
    - I know, but it's not like I need to spend $100+ for what I want it for. - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:14 1
      - True. Got to journeyed and get one with a student id. -- nm - lileve Dec 11, 08:17
- I can get a graphics tablet for a coupe bucks ... aka a sketch pad. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:12

- Foottap? Constitutionally protected you know! -- nm - L Craig Dec 11, 08:35
- That's pretty much been known for several weeks. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 11, 08:07 1
  - Republicans *still* can't keep up with him. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:33
I seldom ask fantasy advice, but here goes. Garrard vs GB, Orton vs NO or Garcia vs (at) Atl? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:05 13
- Good God, man ... are those your only options? - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:16 3
  - Can you return FJS to 6 playoff teams next year? - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 11, 08:36 1
    - I kinda like it. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:39
  - And this is my 12-2 team! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:25
- If it's Arete, I think any of them will be fine. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 11, 08:14 5
  - The Cinderella story continues! But no, that is Orton or Manning, so I kinda know who to start there. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:22 4
    - Honestly, I shouldn't have even made the playoffs there. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 11, 08:33 3
      - Uh... did you look at my team? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:35 2
        
        You're projected to beat me. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 11, 08:38 1
        
        "I'm not even supposed to *be* here today!" - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:43
- [deleted] 1
  - He had been my go to, but I am worried about his mobility. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:14
- If the weather in Chicago is going to be okay, Orton. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 08:07
Body of young girl found about half a mile from Caylee Anthony's grandparent's house. No link yet, being reported on CNN. - TWuG Dec 11, 08:03 35
- my question and maybe I watch too much CSI... - Mel Profit Dec 11, 08:16 5
  - maybe it wasn't found? Chandra Levy was found in an area that had been searched. - loosilu Dec 11, 08:17 4
    - Good points... - Mel Profit Dec 11, 08:18 3
      - although you gotta wonder how someone could be dumb enough to dump near home. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:19 2
        
        right. - Mel Profit Dec 11, 08:20 1
        
        If I were writing for CSI, that makes sense to me if the mom did it. Familiar area (grandmom's neighborhood) but not home. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:21
- link: -- (link) - kelly Dec 11, 08:10
- [deleted] 2
  - I feel the same way. -- nm - pmb Dec 11, 08:14
  - If Mom did it...I wish her alot of bad things. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 11, 08:12
- That IM is not the way anyone wanted this story to pan out. -- nm - TFox Dec 11, 08:07 2
  - But reality is, if you've listened to anything on the case, the only way it was going to turn out. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 11, 08:09 1
    - Yeah, I know, I just.... man. -- nm - TFox Dec 11, 08:15
- if it's her, thank god they found the remains. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 08:06 19
  - to add a forensic nitpick: If the body is down to skeletal remains, no way they know it's a boy or a girl. - loosilu Dec 11, 08:08 7
    - Can't they be reasonably sure based on skeletal analysis? -- nm - VMan Dec 11, 08:12 4
      - Not much in the way of gender specific skeletal differences at an early age. DNA will probably be available, though. -- nm - TWuG Dec 11, 08:15 1
        
        agreed, they might be able to make an assumption based on clothing, but DNA is needed to confirm. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:16
      - no, before puberty it's not really possible to tell. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:13 1
        
        ... and it's not so easy in adolescents a lot of the time too. Guys take a few years to develop the skeletal traits. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:14
    - Unless it isn't completely a skeleton and "skull" was used in place of "head with very little flesh remaining" -- nm - TWuG Dec 11, 08:09 1
      - yeah, the details are sketchy, but that's probably a good thing. sickening. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:11
  - Makes the prosecution a little easier. -- nm - TWuG Dec 11, 08:08
  - Yes. I think I've come to be more repulsed by her Mom than her. - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:07 8
    - Why, what has the grandmother been doing? -- nm - kelly Dec 11, 08:08 5
      - She was the one who turned her daughter in, then she did a 180 and started defending her on all the cable news shows. - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:12 4
        
        I think she was just so horrified by her daughter's actions she recoiled from the possibility... - Mel Profit Dec 11, 08:17 2
        
        I'm sure, and I don't blame her for defending her. She just came across all wrong to me. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:23 1
        
        same here...it was very repulsive to me too. - Mel Profit Dec 11, 08:29
        
        ugh. -- nm - kelly Dec 11, 08:13
    - You of course mean the mom's mom. - TFox Dec 11, 08:08 1
      - Yes - the grandmother. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:10
  - yep. -- nm - kelly Dec 11, 08:07
- ugh. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:06
- oh god. -- nm - kelly Dec 11, 08:04

- You're welcome. When I saw that I knew my stalking was decided. -- nm - Dano Dec 11, 08:32
- Fantastic. You gotta put a picture or two up on Flickr. - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:13
- *laughing* -- nm - con_carne Dec 11, 08:12
- that's hilarious. :) -- nm - El Fandie Dec 11, 08:10
- That is some well-thought-out stalkage. -- nm - TFox Dec 11, 08:03
- That is the funniest thing I will hear all day! -- nm - Amy Dec 11, 08:02
Oh, joy ... I can tell this earworm is gonna last all day ... - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:00
so, apparently i not only went college with someone from TT (i year behind) but also went to high school with another one (1 year ahead) - prayformojo Dec 11, 08:00 9
- but was the building on fire? -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:06
- I sometimes wonder if Callisto and I ever crossed paths in high school. - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:02 7
  - a football game would have been likely (I was no mathlete - I suck at math). - Callisto Dec 11, 08:04 6
    - I was the sports reporter/photographer 'intern' that covered my high school football games my senior year, so I wouldn't be surprised. - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:07 5
      - ah, and I was editor of my newspaper during *my* senior year. - Callisto Dec 11, 08:08 4
        
        *high five* - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:11 3
        
        I feel pretty sure we played. Was Washington a 5A team then? - Callisto Dec 11, 08:13 2
        
        Yep! And we won the state championship my sophomore year, I think. - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:23 1
        
        yeah, ISU had lots of those competitions. I was in choir my freshman year, but that was jr high school for us. -- nm - Callisto Dec 11, 08:36

- I almost got it, figuring the 1-2 extra headsets would be nice if Jacen decided to toss one in the toilet for fun. -- nm - TFox Dec 11, 07:59
Wait, is stop-motion movies like Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach considered "animation?" - JaxSean Dec 11, 07:56 4
- Definitely -- nm - con_carne Dec 11, 07:58
- But of course. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 07:57
- I think so,,,more so than Waking Life -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 07:57
- yes. And Wallace & Gromit, etc. etc. -- nm - Callisto Dec 11, 07:57
~Know what we want and we get it from you. Do what we like and we like what we do.~ -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 07:56 2
- So let's get a party going! - TFox Dec 11, 08:01 1
  - Party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:04
[deleted] 3
- also: The boyfriend is a hard 35. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:09
- kidding, right? some chicks do have a libido. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 08:07
- [deleted]
On animation, here's a great older article by Ebert on Grave of Fireflies...he actually quotes my friend Ernest in it -- (link) - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 07:52 4
- CCC = Vern! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 07:56 1
  - Needless to say, he goes by a nickname -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 08:00
- I think it's a wonderful movie that I'm not sure I could ever watch again. - Callisto Dec 11, 07:54 1
  - Yeah, I agree. - kelly Dec 11, 07:55
Repost for the morning crew: Photos of my trip to Joshua Tree Nat'l Park, a place I recommend all STers visit -- (link) - con_carne Dec 11, 07:51 [flickr] 4
- Awesome. - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 08:09 1
  - Word. Also, there were loads of people climbing without equipment. I feel that's OK... to an extent. -- nm - con_carne Dec 11, 08:14
- very nice - and your chick is hot! :) -- nm - El Fandie Dec 11, 07:53 1
  - Yes she is, but I wouldn't call her "my chick" - con_carne Dec 11, 07:57
Is Jax around? Has he heard about the new GQ? -- (link) - pmb Dec 11, 07:46 7
- Wow. -- nm - kelly Dec 11, 07:57 1
  - Did it "tip it in" for you? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:11
- pmb is my favorite poster of the week. - JaxSean Dec 11, 07:52 4
  - have you seen the ones in EW? - Mel Profit Dec 11, 08:02 3
    - "older woman?" She's only one year older than me! - JaxSean Dec 11, 08:08 2
      - I mean...Hollywood Old. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 11, 08:30
      - We are guys. Age just makes us better. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 11, 08:09
[deleted] 7
- We need that infrastructure badly. Oh wait. -- nm - con_carne Dec 11, 07:49
- this is just them driving up the price. - Mel Profit Dec 11, 07:44 5
  - Probably, but it's a well-timed bluff because they seem to be throwing around money at unprecedented levels this year. -- nm - TFox Dec 11, 07:49 4
    - Or poorly timed if they can't actually afford it. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 11, 07:54 2
      - I'm fairly certain the Yankees can afford it. - TFox Dec 11, 07:57 1
        
        (and when your backup plan is maybe Nick Swisher, then you could argue it's money well spent too.) -- nm - TFox Dec 11, 08:02
    - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 11, 07:50
[deleted] 4
- it's so inferior to the book that I can't include it. -- nm - Callisto Dec 11, 07:45 2
  - Hey, we listened to your CD last night. - Inigo Dec 11, 07:52 1
    - heh heh. - Callisto Dec 11, 07:55
- (Dang, Marlowe is very correct with the Bambi mention) -- nm - con_carne Dec 11, 07:45
