  - NY Times article (from Saturday) about Assange's troubles. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 25, 08:31 5
    - I'll save ML the trouble of rolling his eyes if I link it, but Glenn Greenwald likens that article to Nixon's "plumbers" investigating Ellsberg - znufrii Oct 25, 08:34 4
      - this was my thought, they're just pissed that Wikileaks broke the story with the documents rather than them -- nm - Beaker Oct 25, 08:35 3
        
        I can see that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:36 2
        
        I'm skeptical of the rape charges (in terms of conspiracies it's not hard to believe that they would trump up charges to discredit him), but the - pmb Oct 25, 08:46 1

While he didn't play a good game yesterday (by ANY stretch)...how can you watch a 59-14 drubbing and come to a message board to bitch about the QB? - Jim Oct 25, 08:18 10
- And truly.....truly....people are going to bitch about Orton after the first 6 games he's had? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 08:21 3
  - Exactly. He came to the site to brag about how "right" he was that the Broncos would be horrible this year - Jim Oct 25, 08:22 2
    - Funny too how Orton is like #3 QB in FF terms and yet... -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 25, 08:33 1
      - Good in FF terms is how we get several years of Aaron Brooks as a starting QB. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 08:38
- did he want Cutler back? Cause I'm sure the Bears would listen -- nm - Beaker Oct 25, 08:20 5
  - does not matter if Peyton was behind the Bears line, no one would succeed. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 25, 08:21 3
    - And yet with all that, if they just throw the damn red flag, they win that game. - pmb Oct 25, 08:27 2
      - 4 picks is 4 picks. - groiny Oct 25, 08:46 1
        
        I agree that all that money they spent on Taylor as well as Manulumanu (sp?) could have been much better spent. - pmb Oct 25, 08:51

You won't care, but this is an IM I'm currently engaged in with an unhappy library customer. - mara Oct 25, 08:02 43
- dear god, in the time he took to WHINE about all that, he could have typed half the book. -- nm - Andie Oct 25, 08:49
- "So there's this thing called a pen..." -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 08:26 12
  - I actually think the patron is not wrong. You should be able to print it. however, he is being a jerk. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:37 11
    - Yes, but there's a point of diminishing returns in the complaining business. - Reagen Oct 25, 08:49
    - You can print it. But you have to print selected text, or be in the classic catalog rather than Encore. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:38 9
      - laughing. I get that. I think you should be able to print it without calling tech support. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:39 8
        
        Actually, I just printed from Encore without selecting text and it worked fine. I don't think I can report problems that I can't reproduce. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:43 7
        
        have you had this question before or is it a fluke? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:44 5
        
        Haven't had it before. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:45 4
        
        ah. Yeah, if it was a frequent occurrence I think you'd know. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:46 3
        
        Not necessarily. IMing the reference desk is not the preferred way to report a technical problem. A lot of them get emailed directly to that dept. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:47 2
        
        maybe redirecting them to tech would have been another way to handle it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:48 1
        
        They don't do IM, but I could have linked to the feedback page, sure. However, I knew the problem would be solved if he just printed selected text. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:49
        
        So I actually handled it wrong. I should have printed something immediately from the catalog and told him it worked for me. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:44
- steve114 is just messing with you. -- nm - Roger More Oct 25, 08:25 1
  - heh -- nm - Beaker Oct 25, 08:28

  - "the 5 year old in the kiddie book section gets this why can't you?" -- nm - Beaker Oct 25, 08:17
- did he try "print screen" ? -- nm - JenBro Oct 25, 08:14 1
  - Doesn't sound like it. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:15
- He has a laser printer!!!! -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 25, 08:11 10
  - I felt like it was a woman -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 08:17 9

    - I think it's a dude. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:31 6
      - oh, we should make bets, then ask mara to find out. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:32 5
        
        I don't have any way to find out, sorry. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:32 4
        
        "Have you tried hitting 'print screen' with your penis?" -- nm - how to find out Oct 25, 08:35 3
        
        ".. or are your boobs getting in the way of your typing?" -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:38 1

- just REPLORT the problem already Mara - geesh - Epiphany Oct 25, 08:08 1
  - sometimes it's best just to say "I have reported the problem to our webmaster. Is there anything else I can do for you today?" -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 25, 08:09
- He's probably a renter. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 25, 08:05 1
  - eff'n renters -- nm - znufrii Oct 25, 08:19
