The bigger "shame" would be if kids at school made fun of Lil Susie for being poor. But, it's still a tradeoff versus not having a Christmas at all. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 22, 14:32 6
- which is when Lil' Suzie gets taught how to make a fist - znufrii Dec 22, 14:37 2

  - But, remember, they pulled up to an apartment building that is in a part of town considered needy...odds are most lil Susie's friends also got bikes -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:43 1
    - Honestly I think all the kids just thought "cool, free stuff". No different than winning it on a game show for them. -- nm - pmb Dec 22, 14:48

So Firefox 2.0 is on its last update and it constantly telling me on start up that it can't fully update with that last update. Should I uninstall it - Qale Dec 22, 14:21 12
- Why don't you want firefox 3? -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 14:25 7
  - Many plugins I use don't yet work for it. Neopets and 4chan to name two major ones. -- nm - Qale Dec 22, 14:42 2
    - *does not compute* -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 14:44 1
      - Well... - Qale Dec 22, 14:50
  - could be the built-in gay anime penis blocker it has... -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 14:25 3
    - Sadly it probably has a furry penes add-on that spontanously adds them to every site. -- nm - Qale Dec 22, 14:43
    - I'm sure there's a gay anime penis plugin that fixes that -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 14:26 1
      - the strap-on extension. It's very popular on mozdev. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:27
- the latest update to FF2.0 simply disables the phishing detection because Google wants to retire the mechanism it uses. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:22 3
  - Ah. Actually it just fixed itself. Apparently it required a reboot without saying so. When Firefox 3 gets its act together, I'd upgrade, but it still - Qale Dec 22, 14:23 2
    - The only issue I've had with FF3 is the massive virtual memory footprint ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:26 1
      - That's the next frontier for my studies. Decreasing your virtual memory footprint. -- nm - Al Gore Dec 22, 14:43
so in order to turn on the snow effects I had to allow a script from wordpress. - tRuMaN Dec 22, 14:20 4
- *shrug* just be happy that your browser is more secure than everyone else's. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:22
- Is it on your own domain or someone elses? I had to upload a script to my domain, then copypasta the script request into my blog template. -- nm - Qale Dec 22, 14:22 2
  - I yoinked the code that was using a version hosted on Wordpress's own servers. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:23 1
    - It's a very sneaky code. - Qale Dec 22, 14:24
The world record for spin time in Major League Dreidel is... -- (link) - Max Dec 22, 14:19
ahh, I just knew there would be complaining about Walmart giving away toys. -- nm - Beaker Dec 22, 14:19 37
- i think the complaint was about using the donations as free positive PR for the corporation - pigby Dec 22, 14:22 19
  - Actually, it is SOP for corporate giving. THe value of the media and recognition plays into the choice of what to give to. - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:25 13
    - yup. big crunch in arts philanthropy right now as corporations want to get the most exposure for their dollar. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 14:26 12
      - well, arts philanthropy is completely different. there is no shame in an arts grant. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:28 11
        
        And being needy is shameful? -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:29 9
        
        for a lot of people, yes, unfortunately. - znufrii Dec 22, 14:31 8
        
        yes, that's one reason why food stamps look like credit cards now. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:31 7
        
        And while I think it's a valid critique, I don't think it's wholly sufficient as grounds to malign Walmart for their gift. - znufrii Dec 22, 14:36 2
        
        all I'm saying is I hope that when they get their PR, they treat people with dignity. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:37 1
        
        I can agree with that wholeheartedly. Giving should never be used to diminish the recipient. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 14:37
        
        Actually, the switch here in Texas was to prevent fraud and abuse - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:34 3
        
        was it not a combination? -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:35 2
        
        No...THe Texas Comptroller at the time created the new system to save the state money and prevent fraud -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:41
        
        ...what am I saying. it's about the money. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:36
        
        Well, imho there shouldn't be any shame in accepting charity to help one's own family, either. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 14:29
  - why? I like to get noticed most of the times I do nice things...and I', not a multi-billion dollar corporation -- nm - Beaker - Caveman Finalist Dec 22, 14:23 4
    - because the act of charity is about the act itself, not you -- nm - pigby Dec 22, 14:24 3
      - sure, that's nice in Utopia; but real world is kinda different. -- nm - Beaker Dec 22, 14:26 2
        
        there are plenty of other ways to get yourself noticed if you need that much attention -- nm - pigby Dec 22, 14:26 1
        
        I'm arguing Walmart's position not my own thanks. -- nm - Beaker Dec 22, 14:27
- Frankily, I expected there to be much more "media whore" complaining than there was. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:21 3
  - Working in the charity arena, I fully understand how they feel that the media coverage was important - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:24 1
    - I understand that. just trying to resolve it for myself, if that makes sense. I cannot STAND some of the shit - loosilu Dec 22, 14:26
  - I was actually impressed with the Walmart defenders. kudos! -- nm - Beaker Dec 22, 14:22
- I just wondered if they included helmets...not really complaining -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:20 12
  - wasn't really looking in your direction ;) -- nm - Beaker Dec 22, 14:21 11
    - I think there is plenty of media exploitation of the needy, and it's a legitimate issue. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:23 10
      - tell that to the needy when people stop giving stuff away -- nm - Beaker - Caveman Finalist Dec 22, 14:23 9
        
        You can give stuff away without parading Lil Susie on TV so the whole town knows Daddy can't buy her toys. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:24 8
        
        But Lil Susie can't be shown on TV without mommy or daddy signing agreement -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:29 2
        
        for real? good to know. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:32 1
        
        In Texas at least...which is where this happened. -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:42
        
        sure I can. but Walmart (or any huge company) is a different kettle of fish. -- nm - Beaker Dec 22, 14:26 4
        
        I hope that when they get their publicity, they are sensitive to the pride of recipients. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:27 3
        
        I would put my kids getting toys for Christmas over my pride. -- nm - Beaker Dec 22, 14:28 2
        
        not everyone may feel exactly the same. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:31 1
        
        They should. Pride's a sin. -- nm - God Dec 22, 14:40
oh my god, my party is on youtube. -- (link) - El Fandie Dec 22, 14:19 [youtube] 9
- work it! work it! -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 14:20 2
  - an unexpected look at Andrea's friends and living room! -- nm - El Fandie Dec 22, 14:22 1
    - Parties never seem quite as cool on Youtube as they do when you're there -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 14:27
- (also - they totally broke him.) -- nm - El Fandie Dec 22, 14:20 1
  - You'd have broken too with all the leering and humiliation!! -- nm - Heat Mizer Dec 22, 14:24
- any nudity? -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:19 3
  - not in this video. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 22, 14:19 2
    - there are others? -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 14:28 1
      - god i hope not. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 22, 14:28
cars have airbags (and lately, side-impact airbags, which are neat), trampolines now have cages ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:18 6
- Yes, but wouldn't a motorcycle helmet make cars that much more safer? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 14:21 2
  - the car can be improved to make it safer. A law for helmets in cars that don't have safety features? I'd like to see someone try. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:24 1
    - (Then again, I'd also like to see a motorcycle design that instantly surrounds the driver in a bubble like the mars landers in the event of an acciden - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:31
- UFC has cages. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 22, 14:19 2
  - well, duh. UFC needs trampolines. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:19 1
    - (but not side-impact air bags ... although leg splints would be nice for reducing ick-factor) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:20
Will & Kelly, medical studies pay way better than selling blood. - loosilu Dec 22, 14:17 10
- Medical studies can be quite lucrative, just pick the right ones. -- nm - ceregon Dec 22, 14:25
- And with our medical issues, we've got dozens of potential studies to get paid for! - Will Hunting Dec 22, 14:23 2
  - "Ooh honey, I'm not feeling very well because of that study. I'm going to need you to cook dinner tonight." - kelly Dec 22, 14:31
  - they're weird, though. I got dinged from all vaccine stuides for very mild psoriasis. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 14:24
- Oh geez, I was just kidding! :) -- nm - kelly Dec 22, 14:18 5
  - there are a whole class of people who make their livings being study participants -- (link) - pigby Dec 22, 14:19 4
    - We paid for some of our Wedding with study money -- nm - Pippy Dec 22, 14:26
    - and they even have a sitcom about it on FX now... -- (link) - znufrii Dec 22, 14:25
    - ugh. -- nm - kelly Dec 22, 14:23
    - And IIRC that's how Robert Rodriguez funded El Mariachi -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:21
Please don't be a dick to cashiers. -- (link) - Beaker - Caveman Finalist Dec 22, 14:17 1
- especially when you realize that some people can memorize all your ID when they ask to see your DL when you pay with a CC -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 22, 14:38
Re: Vegas, very unlikely I'll be able to go before May 15th, moderately unlikey I'll be able to go after May 15th. - znufrii Dec 22, 14:16 4
- sell plasma -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 22, 14:20 2
  - *passes out* - znufrii Dec 22, 14:20
  - Or medical experiments -- nm - The Christmas Carol Coalition Dec 22, 14:20
- well, that leaves May 15th! See you there! -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 22, 14:17
MSNBC - Feds called every bank that received at least $1 billion in bailout money and none of them, none of them could answer where the money went. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 22, 14:16 2
- called? Like they waited on the phone for an answer? -- nm - Stewie Dec 22, 14:19 1
  - I'm sorry I can't answer that question. Would you like to sign up for a credit card? -- nm - Call center in India Dec 22, 14:28
Prime Minister The Shat has a nice ring to it. - Beryllium Dec 22, 14:14 1
