I have no one from work on my friends list on FB but then I don't post pictures on FB either but they could easily look at my Flickr site - oblique Dec 19, 13:01 3
- For me, there's other networks out there for employment. FB and Myspace are for my friends -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 13:04

  - I have a line between Facebook and LinkedIn -- nm - oblique Dec 19, 13:02
Having an email debate with some guys for next year....LT...What pick do you take him with? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 19, 13:01 11
- Depends...is his coach still Norv Tuner? -- nm - Stewie Griffin Dec 19, 13:10
- He's in the category of "guys you don't want whereever you would have to take him" -- nm - Reagen Dec 19, 13:04 1
  - *ding* That is why I say 3rd. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 19, 13:06
- Early third. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 19, 13:01 1
  - I wouldn't take him with an early pick, but no way there's 20+ guys gone ahead of him. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 19, 13:02
- I'm already dreading my decision on whether to keep him next year. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 19, 13:01

  - Year after next he will be rooming with Shaun Alexander. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 19, 13:02 3
    - Absolutely. I guess I should clarify...What spot do you think he goes?...Not necessarily where you would take him. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 19, 13:03 2
      - League size? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 19, 13:07 1
        
        We're just supposing on an average 10-14 team league. Him and Tom Brady are the two we're having the most trouble with. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 19, 13:09

Boy, the special effects in Deep Impact have not aged well. -- nm - David Dec 19, 12:51 23
- I think the award for special effects aging goes to Predator - Stewie Griffin Dec 19, 13:00 4
  - How about Total Recall. I still really like that movie a lot, but boy it's aged. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 13:02 3
    - Yeah. I felt bad watching Terminator last time. It didn't see so cool anymore -- nm - oblique Dec 19, 13:04
    - I think I've only seen part of that in HD.... they need to get Running Man out -- nm - Stewie Griffin Dec 19, 13:04 1
      - now that still holds up. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 13:07
- Yeah but Elijah Woods is still a charming lil' hobbit. -- nm - Qale Dec 19, 12:56
- I still like that movie. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 12:53 15
  - You would. God, you make me sick. -- nm - David Dec 19, 12:54 14
    - It's a crappy movie. but it's a *fun* crappy movie. Armageddon is clearly superior though. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 12:55 13
      - i know, i like it too. (in fact, i saw it on tv a month or so again, and i cried.) -- nm - El Fandie Dec 19, 12:58
      - The list of movies that Armageddon is clearly superior than is a very short list. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 19, 12:56 11
        
        it's got training sequences, hot Nasa Chick pilot, guns, shuttle launch and Bruce Willis. what more do you want? -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 12:57 10

        the minute you start thinking about it, yeah, that happens. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 19, 12:59
        
        hey I didn't say it was realistic! If I want realism I'll watch From the Earth to the Moon again. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 12:59 7
        
        You are my "take the good with the bad" bad-movie-liking soul mate -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 13:01
        
        I just couldn't get past it. - Strongbad Dec 19, 13:00 4
        
        how so just out of curiosity? What didn't work for you? -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 13:01 3
        
        Everything in space. - Strongbad Dec 19, 13:02 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 13:04
        
        The leap across the canyon? -- nm - oblique Dec 19, 13:02
        
        right, if I wanna see reality, I will go down to WalMart and people watch. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 19, 13:00
- *smacks you on the head with a giant wave* -- nm - Danonezer Scrooge Dec 19, 12:52
I know most of you don't care, but I want to talk about something. we have this really strict academic integrity policy in my college - capitalist christmas loves mandy lane Dec 19, 12:49 25
- firing squad. -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 13:09
- I would mention it to someone the way you did here without names (for now). That is cheating, definitely. -- nm - zork Dec 19, 12:59 7
  - I really don't see it as that serious. Why on earth would you give someone a grade because they claim they took a quiz? -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:01 6
    - just because they are not successful at the attempt, doesn't make it not cheating. Hell, it's only cheating when you do get caught (in a sense) -- nm - zork Dec 19, 13:02 5
      - this is my point. maybe some TAs don't check -- the system's tricky to navigate. - capitalist christmas loves mandy lane Dec 19, 13:03 1
        
        I am horrified that someone would give the grade based on a student's verbal claim. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:04
      - If you dinged every student who lied at that level, you'd be doing nothing else. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:02 2
        
        what about if I only ding the ones who are dumb enough to get caught? -- nm - capitalist christmas loves mandy lane Dec 19, 13:04 1
        
        how can they not get caught if they're asking you for a grade you hve no record of? -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:05
- lying would piss me off so much -- nm - dogbert183 Dec 19, 12:59 1
  - never be a teacher. seriously. I heard that shit EVERY. DAY. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:01
- If they're that stupid, there's no way they got an 85. -- nm - Amy Dec 19, 12:58 2
  - If there is no record they got 85, they didn't get 85. It's totally simple. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:03
  - It's really common for students to try this. It's bad judgement, not necessarily stupidity, IMO. -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 13:02
- Next time maybe they'll offer sex for the 85% grade from you. - JaxSean Dec 19, 12:56 2
  - so they would get to have sex with her AND get an 85%??? I don't see any punishment there -- nm - dogbert183 Dec 19, 12:59
  - I am not even in school and I would do this. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 19, 12:58
- Pretty minor. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 12:54 2
  - lying about taking a deliverable and essentially asking for credit on it? -- nm - capitalist christmas loves mandy lane Dec 19, 12:56 1
    - "I already handed in my homework." Must have heard that a thousand times. If you fall for it, it's your fault. Now if they try to alter the records or - loosilu Dec 19, 13:00
- I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 19, 12:53
- Nothing I would want to take action against -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 12:52 1
  - I kind of feel like it's extreme. but it's like a gateway violation. -- nm - capitalist christmas loves mandy lane Dec 19, 12:53
- I agree with you. -- nm - lileve Dec 19, 12:52
- I concur. -- nm - TFox Dec 19, 12:51
can someone with access give me the pick 3 numbers for the DAY - 12/19/08 at www.txlottery.org - tia. -- nm - Pippy Dec 19, 12:49 2
- 7-3-8 -- nm - prayformojo Dec 19, 12:50 1
  - damn it! thanks! but damn it! -- nm - Pippy Dec 19, 12:51
Oh, I'm still on B2. b. I can't believe FB did that. So many people there use fake names. And Pip, yes, I'm too tired to even sexy dream right. -- nm - Amy Dec 19, 12:49 5
- i know! i've seen obviously fake names, so i don't know what the deal was. maybe someone reported me? - b! merry and bright. Dec 19, 12:52 4
  - Mine is fake as hell but it matches my email so maybe they let it slide -- nm - Pippy Dec 19, 12:53 1
    - your last name isn't pippy? - dogbert183 Dec 19, 13:12
  - Some guy from my graduation class is "Suave McLovin". -- nm - Amy Dec 19, 12:53 1
    - freakin awesome - Pippy Dec 19, 12:54
SITWAP: Baz's next project: The Great Gatsby. Color me intrigued. -- (link) - TFox Dec 19, 12:49
Holy cripes. What the hell happened back there? -- nm - Shaun Dec 19, 12:46 11
- I am just reading the rest of the thread where it all began and have to laugh at loosi calling him immature for not talking to her about it. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 19, 13:00 5
  - that's a neat trick since he claims he has not spoken to me in a year. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:04 4
    - He hasn't replied to you since ST went online, I guess Spawn is saying that he's made other references ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 13:06 3
      - that's a lot of bullshit on JD's part, then. -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:07 2
        
        He was taling about a friend in real life that is a striking parallel for you. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 19, 13:09 1
        
        How is this equivalent to directly telling me he had a problem? -- nm - loosilu Dec 19, 13:10
- *blames the dog* -- nm - oblique Dec 19, 12:49 1
  - speaking of that - my damn dog peed on a Xmas present - what in the world?? - Pippy Dec 19, 12:51
- mop has decided there is nothing he won't share here. we have no idea. -- nm - b! merry and bright. Dec 19, 12:48 2
  - er nmbmop: - b! merry and bright. Dec 19, 12:50 1
    - mmmbop. -- nm - capitalist christmas loves mandy lane Dec 19, 12:52
*looks at the time* Speaking of which, Hotkiss should be just finishing her last final right about now. -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 12:46 2
- speaking of this, I have no grade below A- for this mod yet (besides 577, which was an honor just to pass). how did I do that? -- nm - capitalist christmas loves mandy lane Dec 19, 12:51 1
  - You are one smart drunk -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 12:54
grny. - b! merry and bright. Dec 19, 12:45 1
- thanks, I am still recovering, not 100%, but not near death either. - groiny Dec 19, 12:52
Frank Miller to ruin Buck Rodger next -- (link) - Reagen Dec 19, 12:44 14
- i don't know this: what else has he "ruined" - prayformojo Dec 19, 12:47 7
  - well, All-Star Batman and Robin is a disaster. - Callisto Dec 19, 12:49 6
    - not even Jim Lee's awesomeness can save that steaming pile. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 12:56 3
      - I like that when you are wrong, you swing for the fences. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 19, 13:01 2
        
        dude...it's awful. Though him nailing Black Canary in the rain while in costume worked for me. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 13:03 1
        
        See, the moments of awesomeness far outweigh the questionable. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 19, 13:05

- He'll be off the project in 4 months. -- nm - David Dec 19, 12:45 5
  - the production company is owned by one of his best friends. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 12:54 2
    - Even so. -- nm - David Dec 19, 12:55 1
      - oh I agree. I hope he gets distracted by something else. -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 12:58
  - I'd never seen a picture of him before. He's a creepy looking bastard. -- nm - Reagen Dec 19, 12:46 1
    - Nah. He's just doing something with his eyes there. He's actually just a tall and lanky geek. Now, Alan Moore is scary fucker. (link) - Mop Dec 19, 12:49
It isn't too early for FF advice, right? - Strongbad Dec 19, 12:43 3
- It's potentially too late. -- nm - Danonezer Scrooge Dec 19, 12:48
- Not Tashard Choice, and yes Tomlinson. The other 2 is a pick em for me. - TFox Dec 19, 12:46 1
  - Brown's playing a weak KC run defense but he's really sucked in the 2nd half of the season. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 19, 12:48
accounting error NOT in my favour - paycheque is $260 less than normal because accounting fucked up when I was hired. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 12:43 4
- Wow. You really were naughty this year, huh? -- nm - oblique Dec 19, 12:46 2
  - No, accounting was. They forgot to do proper CPP deductions or something -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 12:47 1

- dude. what a great holiday gift. so sorry. -- nm - capitalist christmas loves mandy lane Dec 19, 12:44
Facebook gives timely advice on how to control who has access to what -- (link) - oblique Dec 19, 12:41 5
- doesn't the cached link on google/yahoo searches get around this? -- nm - zork Dec 19, 13:00
- when you go to add someone as a friend, using their e-mail address, can you see anything about them? - b! merry and bright. Dec 19, 13:00 2
  - not unless they're allowing pretty broad access. -- nm - Callisto Dec 19, 13:04 1
    - thanks! -- nm - b! merry and bright. Dec 19, 13:06

LIR: Mop. I would think to a certain degree, the more astute consumer would continue holding off on Blueray because of this. Most people aren't - oblique Dec 19, 12:40 4
- Extra features are something the industry is overly fixated on, they don't have near the impact postive or negative they think they do - Stewie Griffin Dec 19, 12:58
- we were promised alternative viewing angles, etc. on dvds. Will blu-ray be any better at actually delivering discs that utilise promised features? -- nm - zork Dec 19, 12:42 2
