Assange can be extradited -- (link) - Beaker Feb 24, 07:06
I just don't understand why this is so hard to figure out - znufrii Feb 24, 07:05 14
- "Check his outlook calendar. See how at 2:30pm, the block turns blue? That means he's not available. This isn't hard. I can totally see how you - Will Hunting Feb 24, 07:12 1
  - of course this operates under the assumption people actually keep their outlook calendars up to date... -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 07:24
- If I may quote the Illustrious TFox: -- (link) - Diva Feb 24, 07:10 [Backboard] 1
  - hee -- nm - Epiphany Feb 24, 07:17
- because they assume you're giving a window of start times. -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 07:09 9
  - for god's sake, why would they think that? -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 07:23 1
    - hell if I know, but they seem to be. but seriously start saying "it has to be over by 2:30." -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 07:26
  - this is what I would think as well. -- nm - decline Feb 24, 07:10 6
    - I would assume the window closes at 2:30 pm. Maybe that's just me and my Outlook. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 07:11 5
      - this is what I'd assume as well, but given this isn't the first time znu has mentioned something like this, I'd take to saying something like - mafic Feb 24, 07:13
      - absolutely. he is available until 2:30. at 2:31 he is unavailable. -- nm - Andie Feb 24, 07:12 3
        
        though it also depends on how the question was phrased. if it's "when is he available to start a call?" and you answer 10:30-2:30, it's within reason. -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 07:15 1
        
        if they had phrased the request that way, I would have responded accordingly. -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 07:32
        
        *nods* Znufrii works with dummies. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 07:13

  - oh wow. I forgot that they awesome pretzels there. mmmmm. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:19
so a friend of mine here is a mail lady. she came across a mailbox today with a sign reading "Plz beware of the bees. Don't open the letterbox." - mafic Feb 24, 06:55 1
- Open the box! -- nm - Beaker Feb 24, 06:59
Music News: David Archuleta (American Idol) dropped from record label - MDH Feb 24, 06:45 2
- I thought he had a big fan base? -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 24, 06:47 1
  - I don't follow Idol so I'm not sure, but his latest album sold under 75K copies. -- nm - MDH Feb 24, 06:53
Quickie Survivor thought and question (spoils) - Jim Feb 24, 06:44 4
- Spoils - Kim Pine Feb 24, 06:53 3
  - agreed (spoils) - Jovian Feb 24, 07:25
  - He definitely is, or at least seems to be...(spoils) - Jim Feb 24, 07:05 1
    - spoils - Kim Pine Feb 24, 07:10
There are now just two top-tier colleges athletic programs (from the major conferences plus ND) without a major infraction or point shaving scandal... -- (link) - Don Homer Feb 24, 06:38 1
- I didn't realize Joe Pa was that good at hiding stuff. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 06:42
I finally got around to watching the season finale of Children's Hospital, and it was absolute genius. -- nm - David Feb 24, 06:32 2
- (No apostrophe in Childrens.) nm - Dignan Feb 24, 06:34 1
  - Oh right, the founder's last name. -- nm - David Feb 24, 06:42
Okay, ST, make me look good. Need clip art of a man in a business suit using a pair of binoculars. Go! - znufrii Feb 24, 06:31 2
- got a better one, I need a picture of businessman who looks like he's sharing secrets over the phone... -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 06:52

Sabbatini, Canizares, Campbell, Baddeley -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:30
SITMOP: Flight that was to be sent to evacuate Canadians from Libya cancelled last minute because of *insurance*. -- (link) - Andie Feb 24, 06:28 7
- I was 30 miles west of the Libyan border on Monday. There was a big (not huge) crowd seeking transport back north to Tunis as we were. - Hotkiss Feb 24, 06:46 1
  - the western provinces were still under Gadhafy's control, last I heardN but it could easily descend into tribal warfare. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:51
- my friends in the dip corps are saying the evacuation is absolute chaos. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:32 4
  - With militias reportedly shooting anything that moves in the streets, I think it's best if everyone just stayed inside. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 06:41 3
    - exactly. they are saying it's near impossible to getr to the tripoli airport, and even if you get there, it's a complete mess. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:43 2
      - I read yesterday that U.S. authorities hired a ferry, but I'm guessing the terminal is just as chaotic. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 06:47 1
        
        i heard this morning that that ferry is still sitting at the dock waiting for the weather to clear, but that everyone on board is safe. -- nm - Andie Feb 24, 06:57
wm3 appeals moving moving moving. (I am so rewatching these movies next week.) -- (link) - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:26
yay, tru! I think joyce ordered that TV! remind me when I get more candy to give you a piece. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:24 2
- oh no. she missed it. it was up to $750. we're still looking. dammit. thanks anyway. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:56 1
  - what about this one? -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 24, 07:03
WillHunting: You'll love this. American Dad renewed for 2 seasons, TVBTN thinks this kills Bob's Burgers renewal chances -- (link) - MDH Feb 24, 06:24 1
- Sweet....mainly cuz Bob's sucks harder than anything I've ever seen on television. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 06:38
lyc: am attending mneetings all day, as an "expert". it is fun but weird. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:17 3
- So it's like ST? ;p -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 06:19 2
  - yes, except in this case I actually know stuff. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:20 1
    - LOL!! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 24, 07:19
Slightly morbid hypothetical question - prayformojo Feb 24, 06:14 31
- idk...there might be egg cartons in there. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 07:11
- It's just his snack food. He didn't want you and his grubby co-workers munching his snacks. :) -- nm - sycor Feb 24, 07:10
- Sounds like it might be full of severed ears. nm - Dignan Feb 24, 06:31
- I'd find a way to open it. if it's at the office, it's fair game. I'd catalogue, document, and have a witness though. -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 06:25
- open it -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:24
- I would talk to my legal department. I think the presence on business property means you have a right to access it - ty97 Feb 24, 06:21
- Here's an idea - OAE Feb 24, 06:20 23
  - like he needs a reminder to be "elegant"? clearly you haven't been reading his posts. be more "elegant" in your advice giving. - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:23 22
    - OK, here we go. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 06:49
    - Hey thanks. I didn't know that. -- nm - OAE Feb 24, 06:44 12
      - it's like you don't read what people post. you don't know who any of us are. you don't know our personalities. - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:58 11
        
        Seriously? What gives? - amoxy Feb 24, 07:02 10
        
        It's a culmination of posts, each one piling onto the last. - Jim Feb 24, 07:08 9
        
        Mostly I'm confused what it means to suggest someone "act elegantly". -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 24, 07:17 1
        
        see? it's so douchey you don't even know!! -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:19
        
        precisely this. 100%. (thanks for being my witness, jim.) -- nmhy - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:14
        
        i have been there too manyt times. mandy gets her aggression out, everyone backslaps each other, OAE doesnt know what the hell happened, - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 07:13 5
        
        if lots of people are constantly getting annoyed with you, and you can't figure out why, it may not be a problem with them. - mafic Feb 24, 07:24
        
        you and I don't see eye-to-eye, right? let me say this: I think you bring 100 times more to the table than does OAE. - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:17 3
        
        look, I really dont pay attention to this specific thing. can you not just ignore? I hsve to say for those who dont follow, you look randomly horrid - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 07:22 1
        
        I can't ignore, no. but thanks for the suggestion. please keep on letting me know when I look bitchy. thanks. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:24
        
        I still do not think her post was "douchey" - amoxy Feb 24, 07:19
    - I love early morning snarky maj. She's my favorite -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:25 7
      - I read 'morning skanky maj' - ty97 Feb 24, 06:26 6
        
        spoiler - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:28 4
        
        So, like...we don't get to see your ho-bag tights? What up with THAT? -- nm - Jim Feb 24, 07:09 1
        
        (I just realized that ho-bag is an insult in my book, but whorebag is not. what??) (I'll try to photo at training this aft.) -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 07:18
        
        Skank that sneaks up and slaps you on the back of the head is my favorite type of skank. -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 06:30
        
        *cracking up* -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:29
        
        I think skanky gets a bad rap. Personally, a little skank can go a long way. I embrace the skank -- nm - CQ Feb 24, 06:28
- It would become property of the business unless somebody (relative) comes forward to claim it - amoxy Feb 24, 06:18
watched 'Justified' last night for first time. kinda liked it. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 06:14 2
- And that was a down episode. Seriously, get season 1. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 24, 06:38
- not really spoilers - prayformojo Feb 24, 06:15
yeah, that snow storm that wasnt supposed to happen till after noon-o'clock, yeah, well its sleeting outside. - tRuMaN Feb 24, 06:06
I can never quite understand how 1 country can fight off the entire world. Libya, N Korea, etc. - Hotkiss Feb 24, 05:59 19
- short answer: they don't. longer answer: they all have some kind of major backer anyway. - mafic Feb 24, 06:21 4
  - as far as noko goes, it also helps to have a nuke or two with seoul in target range....nm - x Feb 24, 06:27 3
    - they don't even really need a nuke. they're close enough to just lob regular artillery at them. - mafic Feb 24, 06:36 2
      - perhaps. imo, though, there's not a lot of functional difference in having a nuke or having everyone think you might have a nuke...nm - x Feb 24, 06:39 1
        
        true enough. I don't think they have a nuke, but I wouldn't bet a quarter million south koreans on it. -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 06:44
- Becuase taking over nations isn't exactly an idea we should be confident with - Will Hunting Feb 24, 06:18
- the problem is, that would bve a very bad move. there's a principle that countries have a basic right to govern themselves. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:14 9
  - yeah, the last thing we want to do is set a precedent for going into a country, overthrowing its government and installing someone more likeable... -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 06:16 8
    - I dont mean this only from an American standpoint. Theoretically, if the big 5 each sent in equal amounts of force, what would be bad about that? -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 24, 06:21 6
      - Even if you could manage to get all 5 of the main powers to agree...then you'd need to have a post-war plan - Will Hunting Feb 24, 06:45
      - for pretty much every country there's a security council veto somewhere behind them. - mafic Feb 24, 06:32
      - who administers it afterward? carve it up like post WWII europe? -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 06:29
      - honestly, no one wants that. theyre fighting for freedom. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:23 1
        
        dont forget in North Africa there's a bad history with colonial governments. its literally the last thing they want. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:26
      - you know you can't just go invading countries without cause, right? - Andie Feb 24, 06:23
    - thats sort of a case study in why it's a bad idea. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 06:18
- It wouldn't be exactly legal to, though. -- nm - mara Feb 24, 05:59 2
  - Define Legal -- nm - Dubya Feb 24, 06:26 1
    - "I mean, can you drive it on the street?" -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 06:31
My cat is pissing me off (slightly gross inside) - amoxy Feb 24, 05:56 2
- Is he hairy? - JaxSean Feb 24, 06:09 1
  - yeah, this happens to me at the office sometimes. -- nm - TFox Feb 24, 06:13
apple store update with new macbook pros. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:54 2
- do we know if it's the same form factor? the same case as last time? - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:01 1
  - it looks like the same basic form factor, but with a few changes underneath. here is the engadget story -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 24, 06:04
the st board collapse script is no longer working for me. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:50 3
- working for me on Firefox (v3.6.3) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 24, 06:10
- odd, did you change something (for instance it doesn't work with FF beta 4) -- nm - decline Feb 24, 06:08 1
  - no. just stopped working this moring. greasemonkey says the script is active. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 24, 06:15
mandy, still looking for a tv for your moms? -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:45 6
- I am. I just sent her this one; thanks. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 05:48 5
  - K. i think frys is selling a similar unit at the same price. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:49 4
    - rock on. we'll see what she says when she gets to work. (she's moving this weekend, so "new TV" becomes more urgent. - amanda jones Feb 24, 05:54 3
      - so something like this? - tRuMaN Feb 24, 06:03 2
        
        my guess is less than 26" in the kitchen. approx the size of my monitor at work. you know. this big. - amanda jones Feb 24, 06:10 1
        
        no idea on the im. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 24, 06:14
verizon has changed up its Galaxy Pad offering, $299 with contract, $499 without. to match the scheme for the Xoom. - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:42
visualization of android device activations -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:26 1
- That's pretty awesome. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 05:41
sigh, i need a life. i got to work at 6am. i have already been here an hour. - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:11 4
- you may actually need help. I did that at hesser. just don't let yourself go in that early. go running. watch a movie. hang out at dunkin donuts. - amanda jones Feb 24, 05:37 3
  - i could justify it because there is supposed to be a snow/ice storm this afternoon. - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:38 2
    - but are you going to leave early when the snow starts to fall? -- nm - amanda jones Feb 24, 05:42 1
      - maybe baby, just maybe. - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:44
It's amazing how unproductive I am at work without Outlook working. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 05:11 2
- No way to access it online via a website? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 24, 05:18 1
  - Normally, yes. Entire email server has been down since 10 AM yesterday -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 05:41
someone, via twitter, asked that the last two top chef eliminations be explained, so here it is - spoils - Truman Feb 24, 05:02 3
- I think there's a lot of merit to*spoils* - Strongbad Feb 24, 05:12 2
  - agreed, I do wonder what the filming - tRuMaN Feb 24, 05:13 1
    - My guess is there's 2 days = 1 episode? No idea. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 05:38
We signed our mortgage refinance yesterday. As usual, there was an 11th hour monkey wrench, but we resolved it. Should be saving about $400/month -- nm - prayformojo Feb 24, 04:58 4
- It's a gift. Wait until they offer you... - OAE Feb 24, 06:22
- congrats, that's a big savings -- nm - ceregon Feb 24, 06:09
