[2004-04-14 16:40:00] - paul: yeah, i don't think it's normal for an echo. But it really depends on what car you have. -dave
[2004-04-14 16:38:00] - Xpovos: The safety features discount doesn't seem to do much for my car. At least I'm assuming that it's not normal to be paying $1400 in auto insurance a year if you have nearly a perfect driving record. -Paul
[2004-04-14 16:35:00] - Vinnie: age of car has a parabolic effect on the cost of insurance, new expensive cars are more expensive to insure because they're well, more expensive, but cheaper new cars (civics, eg.) are typically cheaper to insure overall than an older car because of improved safety features. -- Xpovos
[2004-04-14 16:15:00] - Dave: I've no idea how much I could've saved by buying a used Echo because I didn't look. I'm real happy with my new one though. -Paul
[2004-04-14 16:13:00] - Vinnie: Ok, I was just wondering how much of a difference there is between a new car and used car. It's pretty big. -Paul
[2004-04-14 16:13:00] - dave: the mechanic said something about changing the distributor if the car stalled again - vinnie
[2004-04-14 16:12:00] - http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040414/index.html : yay for nvidia. upcoming vid card performs over two times better than its predecessor and competing solutions -dave
[2004-04-14 16:10:00] - vinnie: hmm, it's hard to say. sounds maybe like a sensor needs to be changed, or maybe just the idle point -dave
[2004-04-14 16:08:00] - paul: I think my auto-insurance is around $1100 a year. it's on my parent's plan though -dave
[2004-04-14 16:08:00] - paul: honestly, i don't remember so clearly when we had to fix things. I think I had to change my rotors like a year after I got my car. I think the $60 I spent on them was worth the $5-10k that we saved though. This is taking into account that I do all the labor on my car though -dave
[2004-04-14 16:05:00] - no, i'm still covered by my family's plan. i should find out soon though because I'll start paying somebody for it when I move out.
all i know is that my dad said the insurance is a lot higher for a newer car. you guys would probably know about it better than me - vinnie[2004-04-14 16:02:00] - Vinnie: Any idea how much you're paying in auto-insurance? -Paul
[2004-04-14 16:01:00] - we'll have to see. i think in the end I'll be happy with how much money I saved but right now adjusting to the little nuances and figuring out if the car really needs more work is annoying - vinnie
[2004-04-14 15:59:00] - dave: yeah, it stalled on me once before we got the tune-up. it hasn't stalled since but if I accelerate quickly the next time I slow the car down I can feel it shake like it wants to stall - vinnie
[2004-04-14 15:46:00] - Dave: You had problems with your car 6 months to a year later? I'm not so sure if that's normal wear and tear... -Paul
[2004-04-14 15:45:00] - vinnie: oh, and 3 of those used cars were civics ^_^ -dave
[2004-04-14 15:44:00] - vinnie: my used car advice would be to take someone along who knows about cars. My family has bought around 6 used cars including mine. Some had problems that needed to be fixed later, but usually at least 6 months to a year later which can be attributed to normal wear and tear. -dave
[2004-04-14 15:37:00] - vinnie: nice car ^_^ what was the problem with it? feels like it is going to stall? -dave
[2004-04-14 15:19:00] - Dave: Civic LX, burgundy, 4-door, automatic everything, 12-disc CD player, 30000 miles I think -Paul
[2004-04-14 14:59:00] - curious, what kinda car did you get vinnie? -dave
[2004-04-14 14:54:00] - Don't bite a gift with your mouth. -- Xpovos
[2004-04-14 14:41:00] - yeah, don't bite a gift in the mouth - vinnie
[2004-04-14 14:33:00] - hmmm, perhaps I'm being a bit mean, making fun of someone who was nice enough to point out my birthday. - pierce
[2004-04-14 14:32:00] - although it seems to have gotten the title in there - pierce
[2004-04-14 14:32:00] - a: mboard error: "could not open msg/data/title.txt for mode 'a'" - pierce
[2004-04-14 14:29:00] - ooh, I didn't see the previous titles link. who kept messing up the spelling of my name? - peirce
[2004-04-14 14:22:00] - well, we were eating lunch at our desks, which made it easy to reload but hard to post - vinnie
[2004-04-14 14:22:00] - Mel: i reloaded the page a bunch of times (like ten or so) when i was adding the new "previous titles" feature. ~a
[2004-04-14 14:10:00] - Vinnie: Then who was reloading it? -Paul
[2004-04-14 14:09:00] - obviously everyone felt humbled by my hilarious futurama tweak. or more likely, we all were eating lunch - vinnie
[2004-04-14 13:58:00] - wow, has this page really gotten -61- hits since the last post?? So we are all reloading to see if anyone wrote anything? That's pretty funny. - Mel
[2004-04-14 11:48:00] - vinnie: Ha ha ha ha
- aaron[2004-04-14 11:47:00] - paul: Yeah, most likely - aaron
[2004-04-14 11:47:00] - "fry, remember how we told you to end your sentences one word earlier?" - vinnie
[2004-04-14 11:40:00] - Aaron: Instances where lying probably would've been better than telling the truth.
-Paul[2004-04-14 11:39:00] - http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Central/04/14/jogger.struck.ap/index.html Robbins, now 17, told investigators he tried to kill Patty Emanuel, 40, while she was jogging last May 27 because he wanted to have sex with her corpse. - aaron

[2004-04-14 11:10:00] - Vinnie: And I was talking about amounts of money, which got me thinking about principals. That's my excuse at least.
-Paul[2004-04-14 11:05:00] - http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2004/20040414l.jpg politics made simple - travis
[2004-04-14 11:02:00] - vinnie: I just figured out like two days ago that "eachother" wasn't a word - aaron
[2004-04-14 10:59:00] - btw, i screw that one up all the time, probably because there's "peace of mind" and "give you a piece of my mind" - vinnie
[2004-04-14 10:58:00] - good, now we're even
- vinnie[2004-04-14 10:55:00] - Vinnie: Peace of mind. -Paul
[2004-04-14 10:48:00] - other than my excuse that the car I just bought is a holdover for a few years until my insurance drops - vinnie
[2004-04-14 10:47:00] - what's funny is that with my computer I didn't hesitate to buy new to establish the same piece of mind and assurance of quality I would have gotten buying a car new. I'm not sure why I went one way on one and the other way on the other - vinnie
[2004-04-14 10:46:00] - who knows, maybe I won't have any more major problems with the car. i mean, really the gripes I mentioned don't affect my driving the car except maybe that the things that feel like stalls might turn into stalls - vinnie
[2004-04-14 10:42:00] - i got my dodge neon used, it was only a year old but already had about 20k miles on it, i think, because it had been an enterprise rental car, but it works fine even with only taking it in to the shop once for a system checkup - travis
[2004-04-14 09:57:00] - http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com/index.cfm?news_id=32239 What if Bush had taken action to prevent 9-11? -paul
[2004-04-14 09:36:00] - Vinnie: Well, whoever bought the used car I sold probably got a real reliable car. I think it varies a lot, which is the problem with used cars. -Paul
[2004-04-14 09:33:00] - the kramero was actually a used car, and it's been extremely reliable so I guess I thought it was the norm. obviously not so - vinnie
[2004-04-14 09:32:00] - Vinnie: Sorry to hear. I'm very glad I bought my car new because even though it cost more than a used car, I'm very happy with it and it's been super reliable for me so far. -Paul
[2004-04-14 09:31:00] - so I'm definitely beginning to regret going the used way. I at least needed to do more research - vinnie
[2004-04-14 09:31:00] - Mig: Well, I'm not entirely sure that I believe that Kobe tanked that game, but I will agree that there is a terrible double standard (just look at Ricky Davis compared to Sura). -Paul
[2004-04-14 09:31:00] - btw, i'm gonna use this message board to vent my frustrations with my new car. the soundsystem isn't as good as I thought, it has a fucking car alarm that goes off if I try to unlock it with the key, and the car constantly feels like it's gonna stall even after getting the tune-up - vinnie
[2004-04-14 09:27:00] - yeah, it's a bizarre situation. all these rules coming out are so funny to me. you can't shoot on your own basket. a field goal attempt is a player's attempt to shoot the ball into the basket for a field goal - vinnie
[2004-04-14 09:20:00] - game=team. - mig
[2004-04-14 09:17:00] - Re: Sura, somebody on the radio mentioned that it was interesting that the NBA was making a big deal about taking away Sura's stat padding in a meaningless game but said nothing about Kobe Bryant intentionally tanking an important game for his game. - mig
[2004-04-14 00:57:00] - aaron: i can't stop laughing.
[2004-04-13 20:30:00] - I swear I didn't set the title. - pierce

[2004-04-13 17:39:00] - vinnie: I hear "administrivia" a lot! I didn't even think of it - aaron
[2004-04-13 17:36:00] - aaron: i heard another one in a tech meeting today: 'administrivia'. I think I actually like that one because it doesn't replace any other words - vinnie
[2004-04-13 17:09:00] - Travis: Is it because of the tomato juice in bloody marys? -Paul
[2004-04-13 17:05:00] - Hee hee. "show me your dark meat" is one of the funnier commands subservient chicken responds to - aaron
[2004-04-13 17:04:00] - travis: oh okay. - aaron
[2004-04-13 17:01:00] - a bloody mary is reported to be one of the best drinks for such a purpose - travis
[2004-04-13 16:59:00] - basically, if you're hungover, drink a little and you're supposed to feel better - travis

[2004-04-13 16:12:00] - Travis: That is such a great little video on so many levels.

[2004-04-13 15:41:00] - travis: Why no-one dear sir - aaron
[2004-04-13 15:27:00] - Travis: It's crucial that you overtake Tim in steals and keep your lead in rebounds.
-Paul[2004-04-13 15:27:00] - Travis: Yeah, I read the earlier article too. I'm still a bit confused as to why Ricky Davis got blasted (people calling for massive suspensions) and with Sura it's all a laughing matter. If I recall, it's not like the Ricky Davis game was even close either. -Paul
[2004-04-13 15:24:00] - hehe, who changed the spelling in the title? - travis
[2004-04-13 15:23:00] - and i think i managed to get max games in all my slots and even went over one game in G and PG (hence why i have those slots empty tomorrow) - travis
[2004-04-13 15:22:00] - i still think the ricky davis thing is hilarious - travis
[2004-04-13 15:22:00] - wow, they changed that article because the version i read around 1:30 said it counted - travis
[2004-04-13 15:00:00] - Vinnie: Yeah, you're too damned close to me in rebounds. And I'm going to end up being down a game in my Guard slot.
-paul[2004-04-13 14:44:00] - hopefully I still get that tenth rebound in the fantasy league, but probably not - vinnie

[2004-04-13 14:00:00] - maybe pierce wanted to tell people that his birthday was thursday, but didn't want to seem conceited. ~a
[2004-04-13 13:47:00] - i did the corrected version, no idea who did the quoted version, but i figured i'd help them out in case they were actually confused and not just trying to be funny - travis
[2004-04-13 13:45:00] - I didn't do it. -Paul

[2004-04-12 14:47:00] - that would be funny if it also changed the titlebar. and you accuse moi, paul? i am shocked and appalled you'd think I played that prank
- vinnie[2004-04-12 14:34:00] - oh, that's what the title is? i thought title meant in the titlebar of the web browser. tsk tsk, improper html terminology - travis
[2004-04-12 14:11:00] - Vinnie: Is that you that changed the title? -Paul

-Paul[2004-04-12 11:20:00] - did anyone notice this weird coincidence: bill murray, who played peter venkman in the ghostbusters movie, is doing the voice for garfield in the movie. lorenzo music, who did the voice for peter venkman on the ghostbusters cartoon, was the voice for garfield in the tv show/specials - travis
[2004-04-12 10:53:00] - yep, have to agree with you guys here. cable is the definition of a luxury item - vinnie
[2004-04-12 10:35:00] - Xpovos: I just think it's amusing that, of all things, they are thinking of putting caps on cable rates. Like you said, it's already controlled by the government, and it's like the definition of a luxury item. -Paul
[2004-04-12 10:00:00] - Paul: re cable rates. What's wrong with caps on an economy already controlled completely by the gov't? If it were open, I'd agree, but as a gov't sponsered monopoly, I just can't get worked up over it. -- Xpovos

[2004-04-08 14:14:00] - Mel: That would be my guess. -Paul
[2004-04-08 14:11:00] - how do you think the subservient chicken works? Is it like an Eliza-type AI program that figures out which scenes to play? - Mel
[2004-04-08 14:04:00] - Krisnie: Frankly, that chicken terrifies me. -Paul
[2004-04-08 13:56:00] - and then a told him to 'bark like a dog' and he started pretending to pee on the furniture. close enough, anyway - vinnie
[2004-04-08 13:55:00] - kris: hahaha, that's great! I told him to 'go to hell' and he gave me the devil sign. how many requests does he get I wonder (and why is someone paying him for this?) - vinnie
[2004-04-08 13:50:00] - vinnie: this is speculation, but because of their size I'd be willing to bet that they usually have at least one copy of whatever you're looking for in the pipeline somewhere. Otherwise they might have an algorithm that estimates whether a new copy is going to come in within a reasonable time frame, for them to send you. - pierce
[2004-04-08 13:49:00] - http://www.subservientchicken.com/ what the geck?? -kris
[2004-04-08 13:48:00] - in other words, is the amount of time something is at the top of your queue worthless if you have bad timing - vinnie
[2004-04-08 13:47:00] - pierce: I understand that part, I meant: will they hold a movie for you for a day or so or do they just mail out the movie as soon as they get it to whoever has it at the top of their queue AND has just returned a movie? - vinnie
[2004-04-08 13:44:00] - travis: there's a disc of "bonus material", but there's only one disc of episodes. - pierce
[2004-04-08 13:41:00] - anyone who's watched "the office": there's only one disc in the first season, right? netflix doesn't list any others but it says "disc 1" on the dvd - travis
[2004-04-08 13:40:00] - Although I'd bet that doesn't apply to multiple sets from, say, the same TV series. I doubt they'd skip over Alias Season 2 Disc 1 just because Alias Season 1 Disc 6 was in "long wait" status. - pierce
[2004-04-08 13:39:00] - Paul: if we're counting fringe characters like Usagi, then he's my favorite. he's actually had a solo comic series going ever since he was made, even when the turtles didn't - travis
[2004-04-08 13:34:00] - And if a disc of a series has "wait" status, they'll skip over any subsequent discs in the same series. - pierce
[2004-04-08 13:32:00] - Vinnie: if you have a movie with "wait" status at the top of your queue, they'll skip over it and send you the first available movie after it. I think your priority in the "waiting" line only goes up if it would be the next movie they'd send, though. - pierce
[2004-04-08 13:21:00] - So who was your favorite TMNT character? I think mine has to be either Casey Jones or Usagi Yojimbo -Paul
[2004-04-08 13:19:00] - I imagine there'd have to be some kind of dove mutant in there too - vinnie
[2004-04-08 12:23:00] - Travis: I would pay money to see Splinter blowing Shredder away with two .45s while singing Skipping Stones
-Paul[2004-04-08 12:18:00] - that's probably the best answer you'll get about the netflix queue - travis
[2004-04-08 12:18:00] - vinnie: "Q. The top movie in my Rental Queue says Available Now but I was sent a different movie. Why? A. We make every effort to ship you as many of your first choice movies as possible, but our inventory levels are constantly fluctuating. The movie that is shipped is the movie that is available at the time of shipping." - travis
[2004-04-08 12:14:00] - biggest problem with a john woo TMNT movie: they don't use guns, and that's pretty much all john woo knows
- travis[2004-04-08 12:08:00] - uh, to your, not toy our - vinnie
[2004-04-08 12:08:00] - pierce: back toy our freaks and geeks point, I was wondering how they handle queues for new releases. they can't do first requested first served because they don't how long you'll keep your current movies out, so how does it work? - vinnie
[2004-04-08 12:06:00] - pierce: nope, oracle 8i - vinnie
[2004-04-08 12:00:00] - Mig: Would you prefer 'Mournful Holy Thursday'? -Paul
[2004-04-08 11:48:00] - Vinnie: what database system are you doing all this SQL stuff on? It wouldn't happen to be DB2, would it? - pierce
[2004-04-08 11:48:00] - Holy happy thursday, batman! - pierce
[2004-04-08 11:42:00] - Happy Holy thursday? - mig
[2004-04-08 11:23:00] - Yay vinnie! Congrats on the vehicle! - pierce
[2004-04-08 11:20:00] - Vinnie: Well, other than the color and the fact that Hondas suck, you'll be happy to know that I approve of your car.
-Paul[2004-04-08 11:14:00] - I'm not too picky about colors. it has ac - vinnie
[2004-04-08 11:02:00] - Vinnie: Cool, does it have air conditioning? I seem to remember the DX not having factory installed AC. Burgundy is an ugly color though.
-Paul[2004-04-08 10:59:00] - i think it's safe to say that movie is vaporware - vinnie
[2004-04-08 10:58:00] - yeah, you never heard about the Woo Turtles movie? i posted something about it a while back. this is the last I heard about it http://movies.go.com/news/2001/6/woocage062101.html - vinnie
[2004-04-08 10:55:00] - paul: Civic DX, I believe. burgundy, 4-door, automatic everything, 12-disc CD player, 30000 miles. i haven't driven it above 40 mph yet but the mechanic said it's in good shape and my dad who drove it home yesterday said it handled well on 495 - vinnie
[2004-04-08 10:49:00] - Vinnie: A TMNT movie with John Woo directing? That would be awesome. -Paul
[2004-04-08 10:49:00] - Vinnie: Did any parts fall off yet? What kind of Civic is it? What color? I need answers, man! -Paul
[2004-04-08 10:49:00] - john woo?? is this gonna be like that tmnt movie that never materialized? - vinnie
[2004-04-08 10:48:00] - i got a new (used) car. 2000 Civic. I haven't driven it yet apart from the test drive (haven't put on the plates) so don't ask me how it is yet. ask me tomorrow
- vinnie[2004-04-08 10:38:00] - http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=4202 Metroid movie? -Paul
[2004-04-08 10:37:00] - http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/04/07/MNG8N61MGG1.DTL Punishing speeders by giving them more red lights -Paul
[2004-04-07 23:54:00] - a: You have too much free time on your hands. How'd you like some expectation value calculations?
-- Xpovos[2004-04-07 21:22:00] - xpovos: i didn't make the original post (if i had to guess, i'd guess pierce or aaron), but i took it upon myself to solve the problem. it's base 14.2310798036 (pipi/2 - 4 in base 10) ~a
[2004-04-07 20:24:00] - Disclamer: as you can see, the title follows the same formatting as regular posts. ~a
[2004-04-07 19:31:00] - Paul: it's not very "s", though... at least not from what I've seen. - pierce
[2004-04-07 19:30:00] - Dammit! Just as it arrives at the top of my Netflix queue, Freaks and Geeks develops a "Short wait" status. Now I have three discs waiting at the top of my queue, and my scheduling is all fudged up. - pierce
[2004-04-07 18:55:00] - Hmmph. It's higher than base 10, lower than hex, and almost certainly non-integer. Therefore I didn't consider it. -- Xpovos
[2004-04-07 18:38:00] - Xpovos: how do you know what base he or she was using?
[2004-04-07 18:36:00] - pipi does not = 28. It's closer to 36. -- Xpovos
[2004-04-07 18:00:00] - hmmm, i may choose to lowercase the title
~a[2004-04-07 17:57:00] - use "/title put title here" (quotes are for clarity) to set the title. the title (including html) must be less than or equal to 40 chars long. ~a
[2004-04-07 17:45:00] - Vinnie: Oh wait, it is a ql... -Paul
[2004-04-07 17:39:00] - the sql is neither a s nor a ql! - vinnie
[2004-04-07 17:26:00] - Vinnie: Cool, I didn't know you knew any SQL. I agree with anonymous. Teach us! -Paul
[2004-04-07 17:24:00] - vinnie: teach us sql!
[2004-04-07 17:23:00] - paul: a ton. that's a lot of what my job is here - vinnie
[2004-04-07 17:23:00] - Huh, just makes it slightly smaller and centered vertically. -Paul
[2004-04-07 17:22:00] - I wonder what this does? -Paul
[2004-04-07 17:19:00] - boo, a sub within a sup just makes it small text, basically - travis
[2004-04-07 17:19:00] - so that was sup tags?and i'll add a sub - travis
[2004-04-07 17:18:00] - pipi = 28
[2004-04-07 17:18:00] - wow, that "sup" takes up a huge amount of vertical line space let's see if works with a reference point - travis
[2004-04-07 17:06:00] - sup sup
[2004-04-07 17:06:00] - a: I think it's "with regards to" -Paul
[2004-04-07 17:04:00] - what does WRT stand for? ~a
[2004-04-07 17:04:00] - pierce: well you have the source, couldn't you just check for yourself? $tags="b|i|u|s|sub|sup|small"; plus some tags can be nested within themselves. small smaller smallest ~a
[2004-04-07 17:03:00] - Vinnie: You know a lot of SQL? -Paul
[2004-04-07 17:03:00] - Travis: Yeah, I think it's pretty difficult to be shocking anymore. -Paul
[2004-04-07 17:00:00] - not I but I may be able to answer your question if you have one - vinnie
[2004-04-07 16:55:00] - all: did I lend my "SQL Pocket Reference" to anyone here who might not yet have returned it? I can't find it anywhere. - pierce
[2004-04-07 16:55:00] - vinnie: you hit the nail on the head wrt my problem describing it. - pierce
[2004-04-07 16:54:00] - a: are five different types of tags even supported in a message? underline italic bold
[2004-04-07 16:53:00] - somehow i bet this "shock" is along the same lines as i spit on your grave is supposedly shocking - travis
[2004-04-07 16:49:00] - a: I doubt I'll be using five levels of nested tags anytime soon, but thanks anyway. -Paul
[2004-04-07 16:42:00] - and it wouldn't allow for broken nesting A B C ~a
[2004-04-07 16:42:00] - i set the max depth to five. and no, it's not actually a recursive function . . . that would be silly. ~a
[2004-04-07 16:41:00] - paul: fixed. ~a
[2004-04-07 16:40:00] - test ~a
[2004-04-07 16:36:00] - Vinnie: Aw man, now I want to watch it.
-Paul[2004-04-07 16:35:00] - it's not that it's not safe for work. it's happened on other shows before, including this one. but not nearly so graphically, and i think that's why pierce didn't feel like describing it. the detail was the disturbing part, it doesn't seem shocking just reading about it - vinnie
[2004-04-07 16:32:00] - a: No problem, that was my intent all along.
-Paul[2004-04-07 16:31:00] - italics work. it's just nested tags that don't work. i forgot that i never fixed that. thanks for reminding me. ~a
[2004-04-07 16:30:00] - a: Because it doesn't seem to be implying that to me.
-Paul[2004-04-07 16:29:00] - Aw, italics tags don't work...
-Paul[2004-04-07 16:29:00] - <i>RAPE!?</i>
-Paul[2004-04-07 16:23:00] - Paul: since i don't consider the word "rape" to be unsafe for work, from what i can gather from google, some guy got raped on the episode they're talking about - travis
[2004-04-07 16:22:00] - i dunno; i'm too lazy to answer your question, so you tell me why it isn't? ~a
[2004-04-07 16:21:00] - a: How is the headline implying that member of a certain sex are inherently or generally worse? -Paul
[2004-04-07 16:20:00] - paul: i think you're sexist and so is the headline
~a[2004-04-07 16:17:00] - Paul is fat
[2004-04-07 16:16:00] - a: You disagree that the women cleaned up? Or that it's sexist? Or you disagree with me that I don't think it's sexist?
-Paul[2004-04-07 15:32:00] - well, i disagree on the headline. ~a
[2004-04-07 15:25:00] - i gave you one that didn't have "class" in the definition. ~a
[2004-04-07 15:25:00] - a: Going by that definition, I think that neither I, nor that headline is sexist then. -Paul
[2004-04-07 15:25:00] - a: I'm not trying to refuse to answer your question, it's just that any way I answer you could twist it to make it seem like I stand for something I don't stand for. So I'm trying to get a good, solid defintion. -Paul
[2004-04-07 15:21:00] - he's older now. ~a
[2004-04-07 15:20:00] - Paul: it's a bit not-safe-for-work.... I'll tell you when you're older. - pierce
