speaking of Harry Potter, anyone else notice that in all the books, he got Christmas and birthday presents but never gave one - zork Dec 23, 13:01 8
- The people who gave him presents didn't care. Why should we? -- nm - Trish Dec 23, 13:19
- i am pretty sure he did give them. - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:18
- He lived under a staircase! -- nm - Jovian Dec 23, 13:09 2

Batman - Santa Dec 23, 12:49 1
- Without Wayne Tech technology Santa wouldn't get off the ground. - TWuG Dec 23, 12:55
Look, kid. I'm not saying Santa isn't real. I'm just saying if he was I would be all in favour of his penchant for children -- nm - The Real Batman Right Before Robin Joins The Team Dec 23, 12:47
I am probably way late on this, but have the Harry Potter fans seen A Very Potter Musical? -- (link) - Dano Dec 23, 12:47 [youtube]

- yep. I still buy them at times -- nm - Remlik Dec 23, 13:06
- No. I went for the Adidas Superstars like Run DMC wore. - JaxSean Dec 23, 12:51

- well, it is in all caps -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 12:45
- call it, it just has to be legit because it is illegal to send spam to a cell phone, I read someplace on the internet I think -- nm - nine zeitgeists a slacking Dec 23, 12:40
Now I feel like a *real* idiot. We live right next to a Canadian Tire, and I didn't even think to check there for air beds ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:32 3
- trust me, a pile of used tires is not in anyway comfortable, besides you wake up looking like you slept in the fireplace -- nm - nine zeitgeists a slacking Dec 23, 12:34 2
  - You are clearly unaware of the awesomeness of Canadian Tire. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:51 1
    - Canadian Tire Bucks! Yes Please! -- nm - JenBro Dec 23, 13:01
different photos fra Nuuk Shipyard mostly old ones - Danedukenuuk Dec 23, 12:31
Look, kid. I'm not saying Santa isn't real. I'm just saying if he was, he'd be too powerful to go unchecked. And I'd have to take him down. -- nm - Batman Geek #3 Dec 23, 12:24
"Look, kid. I'm not saying Santa isn't real. I'm just saying if he was, he'd be too powerful to go unchecked. And I'd have to take him down." -- nm - Batman Tweet Dec 23, 12:23 11
- What the fuck is a "tweet"? -- nm - Superman Dec 23, 12:24 10
  - This is the main reason that Superman is a lesser hero than Batman. He doesn't have the brains to utilize any technology. He's just a brick that flies - Trish Dec 23, 12:32 8
    - don't hurt his feelings, he could stop the earth and get off -- nm - nine zeitgeists a slacking Dec 23, 12:35
    - funny, I have a coworker named Brick who could easily be cast as Superman. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:34
    - Let the little baby play with his toys. I'll be over here killing real threats to the universe -- nm - Superman Dec 23, 12:34 5
      - block-headed brick -- nm - Trish Dec 23, 12:36
      - Killing? Yeah right. -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 12:36 3
        
        umm, this goes both ways... -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 12:55
        
        Metaphorically killing *threats* ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:49
        
        He's such a damn cub scout. -- nm - Trish Dec 23, 12:42
  - tweet? -- nm - Robin Dec 23, 12:25
Look, kid. I'm not saying Santa isn't real. I'm just saying if he was, he'd be too powerful to go unchecked. And I'd have to take him down. -- nm - God Damned Batman Dec 23, 12:22 4
- Hey Harry Potter, if it took me eight damn movies to defeat one lame villain I'd probably give people their money back. -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 12:28 2
  - don't you let amy hear you blasphemin like that -- nm - pixmas Dec 23, 12:30 1
    - NASA has found a new form of life? Neat. Call me when it's got heat vision, wears blue pajamas, and flies. -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 12:33

  - So THAT -- nm - Trish Dec 23, 12:34 1
    - sfek! So THAT'S why Palin keeps shooting him on the late night shows. - Trish Dec 23, 12:35
  - well duh, he's an obvious communist -- nm - nine zeitgeists a slacking Dec 23, 12:28
this is my current desktop backgroun -- (link) - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:19 3
- just in case anyone else wants that too -- (link) - zork Dec 23, 12:24 [Image]
- That should be your work uniform -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:19 1
  - i would love it on a shirt, that would be awesome. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:15
Until I started looking, I never would have imagined it is near impossible to find a product that serves your whole media library - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:14 31
- one last thought, could you use vlc to stream video? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:29 14
  - Yes and no. The VLC app for the iPad does not support streaming (perhaps another client might work) not sure what the state of Android is there - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:30 13
    - wait wait wait. not tversity, umm, crap. oh Twonky. wasnt that software touted to work on all devices? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:32 12
      - Another great UPnP solution that has no remote capabilites - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:34 11
        
        not according to their site, supposedly they have an android and apple apps -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:35 10
        
        They seem to have an android app for sharing media but not consuming and no iOS app (at least from them) -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:40 8
        
        hmm -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:44 7
        
        I really could do two solutions: Air Video for iOS and for Android - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:55 6
        
        one last thought, and i really dont know how it would work with your setup. what about services like pogoplug? - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:57 5
        
        Interesting idea. All my media is currently on a 250GB USB drive (I also have a FreeAgent but it's smaller, only 60GB I think) - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 13:00 4
        
        if i understand write, you dont have to use a freeagent drive, any usb drive (so therefore an exteneral usb 1tb drive maybe) would work. - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:02 3
        
        It does seem to do just that. Very very interesting. I also found an Android based app that works like the Air Video - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 13:05 1
        
        well, you know i could grant you permission (via email) to access a portion of mine and you could test it. - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:07
        
        right. stupid tru. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:03
        
        but maybe i am reading this wrong. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:38
- people seem to have success using tversity and something called nswplayer from the android market. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:20 9
  - yes. I was going to look into that. Maybe it's just their use of the free tversity but it did seem very focused on files being in a certain format - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:21 8
    - hmm, well, ps3media server is a flash based dlna/upnp server, and it transcodes everything. - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:22 7
      - but it doesn't address the remote side of things, only works on the LAN -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:23 6
        
        ... what about a VPN? :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:26 2
        
        visible panty . . .? -- nm - pixmas Dec 23, 12:30
        
        I'm getting to the point of considering it. Truthfully, I already have the videos transcoded for local playback - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:28
        
        aww, which version of tversity did you use? - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:24 2
        
        They're next on my list but I'm also not too keen on their pricing model (annual maintenance) -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:27 1
        
        yeah i understand that. though I thought you could get the pro and just not pay for the annual maintence stuff - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:27
- trying to think. youv'e looked at playon and tversity right? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:16 5
  - PlayOn lacks an Android client (supposedly the web interface should work and maybe UPnP) and has no remote solution except on the iPad - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:18 4
    - tried mediatomb? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:18 3
      - UPnP only. Might work for Android with built in UPnP but iOS had no native UPnP (and some shitty UPnP apps). Also no remote access -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:19 2
        
        does Media Link Player lite work on the ipad? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:21 1
        
        I'm not sure if that was one that I tried but UPnP can't be the lone protocol because it fails when I leave the house -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:23
i think i'd want musubi on my survivor team, him being a tropical island native and all - pixmas Dec 23, 12:14 1

- So...everything that's good in life (except for bacon.) -- nm - Jim Dec 23, 12:15 14
  - The only thing I'd call good on that list is potatoes. -- nm - mara Dec 23, 12:16 13
    - this was my thought, although pasta can be good if made with something better than white flour -- nm - zork Dec 23, 12:20 1
      - we've been using veggie and rice-based rotini lately. tasty. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:26
    - I don't eat white bread, but everything else on that list sounds fine to me. As in good. As in delicious. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:17
    - Are you frickin' kidding me? Pasta??? -- nm - Jim Dec 23, 12:17 4
      - You're right that it's on the list, but I assume he meant non-whole-grain pasta. -- nm - mara Dec 23, 12:22 2
        
        Ugh, I've had whole wheat pasta and it's godawful. The taste is off and the texture is like slimey rubber. It's not good at all. -- nm - Trish Dec 23, 12:45 1
        
        yeah, it's pretty hard to find decent whole wheat stuff -- nm - zork Dec 23, 12:58

        nah...mara is a Natural Light kind of gal. -- nm - Remlik Dec 23, 12:19 2
        
        Light?? Are you calling me fat? -- nm - mara Dec 23, 12:20 1
        
        Not at all! As a woman of taste I just assumed you'd drink that. - Remlik Dec 23, 12:23
reagen would be horrible at survivor. i mean, just imaging - tRuMaN Dec 23, 12:08 4
- But he could reach coconuts with ease -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 12:12
- if the premise were to actually get rescued, he could be used as a beacon -- nm - zork Dec 23, 12:11 1
  - although he'd probably pass out and die before getting red enough -- nm - zork Dec 23, 12:12
- His team could use him for shelter, though, so that's a bonus. -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 12:11
MH: so should I buy the Toboggan Trap now or wait till I have the upgrade parts? tia -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 12:05 7

  - ouch -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 12:41
  - I can't even get a slay ride mouse. yet -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 23, 12:31
- Now. Then keep hunting. You should end up with enough loot to - TWuG Dec 23, 12:07 2
  - heh, I could buy 2 right now actually :) Any benefit to that? -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 12:08 1
    - purely from a trap collection standpoint. no real gameplay benefit. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 12:09
- now. you can upgrade at any time if you collect all the parts later. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 12:07
Oh, the Nationals fans are going to get booy. Neat blog post showing why Werth's HR average is not safe at all. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 23, 12:05
