[2006-03-31 17:06:55] - Sam: Wow, I didn't even know they had that many different series' -Paul
[2006-03-31 16:51:45] - Sam: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/news/story?id=2391015&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab2pos1 Latta is ESPN's player of the year. -Paul
[2006-03-31 16:41:47] - btw, for those of u that don't follow NBA, paul pierce plays for the boston celtics -sam
[2006-03-31 16:40:02] - vamy: actually, yours is a little bit darker. -sam
[2006-03-31 16:39:31] - vamy: hey! red is my color! -sam

[2006-03-31 16:21:40] - Xpovos: Ah, ok. I get it now. I'll allow this to be named after me.
-Paul[2006-03-31 16:04:05] - Aw... but it flows so well. Xp(ovos)(Pa)ul...
[2006-03-31 16:03:42] - xpaul: Testing -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 16:00:37] - that IS freaky! -vamy
[2006-03-31 15:59:41] - Sam: Ah, power rangers. The pink ranger was so cute. -Paul
[2006-03-31 15:57:51] - Paul: It means to potentially offend someone without the intention of offending him by means of being yourself, and not social. Particularly attributable when dealing with females. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 15:56:49] - Freaky... vamy has it's own color.
[2006-03-31 15:56:26] - vamy: Given my level of conversation with this girl, and the manner in which the question was addressed I stand by my reckoning, though it could well be wrong. I don't speak the secret language of 'hitting on'. I've known this for a long time, and today, whichever way it was, is just further proof. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 15:54:26] - Xpovos: Ok, but what does it mean to pull a Paul? -Paul
[2006-03-31 15:51:32] - yeah i do it too. but only when i am hitting on them. (just kidding.) -amy
[2006-03-31 15:50:36] - (and I wasn't hitting on them either, before someone says it) - vinnie
[2006-03-31 15:50:16] - weekend plans? not to shoot anyone down (I don't know the specifics of xpovos' situation, after all), but I've asked nearly all my co-workers what their weekend plans were, at one point or another. it's like my fallback thing to ask when I can't think of anything else - vinnie
[2006-03-31 15:44:20] - Paul: Yes, it's like pulling a Homer. Iconic, but never used. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 15:43:16] - go go power rangers! megazord activate! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUjVxJkmPWQ&search=power%20rangers -sam
[2006-03-31 15:31:17] - Xpovos: Wait, pulling a Paul? -Paul
[2006-03-31 15:25:59] - Sprite Voltron Commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a9BX8YFv2Q&search=voltron%20sprite -sam
[2006-03-31 15:24:33] - sam: I have nothing against the co-worker, and she's attractive enough. Which means she's attractive, but doesn't fit my personal taste preferences. She did nothing to me. She merely inquired into my weekend plans, which seems a bit in-depth for small talk. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 15:23:13] - Paul: Yes, it felt very much like I was pulling a Paul. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 15:21:53] - amy: i don't like or dislike them. ~a
[2006-03-31 15:19:31] - paul: OMG! i want that voltron DVD! -sam
[2006-03-31 15:18:08] - xpovos: what did that co-worker do to you? -sam
[2006-03-31 15:16:14] - xpovos: do you also like that co-worker? do you find her attractive? -sam
[2006-03-31 15:16:09] - Xpovos: And it's not like you can really go up to her now and ask her if she was hitting on you.
-Paul[2006-03-31 15:06:33] - *** Paul applauds
[2006-03-31 15:06:03] - I get the impression a co-worker was hitting on me, but being me, I didn't get this impression until 20 minutes later and my responses were not at all engaging, and might be perceived as insulting if she assumed I was being deliberately dense as opposed to just ignorant. Go me! -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 14:55:15] - god I'm clever. - pierce
[2006-03-31 14:55:09] - amy: my opinion of them changes all the time.
- pierce[2006-03-31 13:54:11] - Java people (and other languages if it applies): how do you feel about constants classes? -amy
[2006-03-31 13:45:54] - a: If Sirius goes up to $15, I'll sell, no worries. But I think that's pretty unlikely. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 12:39:00] - i can't count how much money i would have lost if i had kept apple and google for the full 12 months. ~a
[2006-03-31 12:35:52] - i only wait for the 12 month time-frame if i've had the stock for a long time (like at least half of a year) ~a
[2006-03-31 12:35:18] - xpovos: if you've only had a stock for a few months, it usually doesn't make sense to wait 10 months to get the tax "discount" ~a
[2006-03-31 12:33:51] - Paul: Me too, but it's got a year before I get out of tax-hell, so I'm patient. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 12:09:04] - Paul: Ah yes. Fortunately I think we are all BCCed. Because I totally see that happening. -amy
[2006-03-31 12:06:02] - Xpovos: I really hope it goes up then.
-Paul[2006-03-31 12:05:51] - amy: It will be funnier if/when somebody replies to all to that email saying something like "Amen! I'm tired of stupid people always replying to all when they shouldn't!" -Paul
[2006-03-31 12:01:39] - Paul: I wasn't too sure, but my own research indicated my predictions on CREAF were off-base, so I needed something else. SIRI fit the bill, so-- I bought some. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 11:53:55] - I just got an email from my company about "reply to all": "...please consider carefully before selecting Reply to All..." it goes on to explain the repercussions. I don't know what's funnier/sadder: that they sent it out, or that some people probably need it. -amy
[2006-03-31 11:18:24] - Vinnie: Once a week, for about an hour, I probably wouldn't notice unless their outfit stood out for some reason or they stood out for some reason. In other words, I normally probably wouldn't. -Paul
[2006-03-31 11:01:28] - oh more importantly, it's not someone you see every day, it's someone you see once a week - vinnie
[2006-03-31 11:01:26] - vinnie: just kidding. clarify away ^_^ -amy
[2006-03-31 11:01:18] - vinnie: this is MY poll! >.O -amy
[2006-03-31 11:00:12] - I probably wouldn't notice if the guy I share an office with wore the same suit and shirt and tie every day, for instance. -Paul
[2006-03-31 10:59:30] - Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think it depends on the person, how often you see them, and their outfit. -Paul
[2006-03-31 10:58:41] - amy: Every day? I would say false (unless possibly if it's something like some very standard suit). I think eventually, most guys would notice that it's the same thing over and over. -Paul
[2006-03-31 10:58:28] - Truish. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 10:58:04] - clarification to poll: this is someone you see maybe an hour a day. not someone you live with or anything - vinnie
[2006-03-31 10:55:25] - Poll: Guys will not notice if you wear the same outfit every day. True or false? .) -amy

[2006-03-31 09:48:14] - Xpovos: VTSS is a stock that has done well for me lately (consistently moving up by small increments nearly every day) but I don't know how much longer it will continue (and it's also not a major mover). -Paul
[2006-03-31 09:47:26] - Xpovos: Well, I think the stocks I have hopes for right now (and which I have money in) are SIRI and SYMC. Both have gone down for a while but I bought them hoping they will rebound some. -Paul
[2006-03-31 09:46:49] - Paul: I wrote on the deposit slip to remind them that it was a referral. I'm glad it worked. I got some free trades out of it too, so I'm most pleased. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 09:44:30] - Xpovos: I just got an email from Scottrade saying I have three free trades so I guess what you did before worked? If so, thanks. -Paul
[2006-03-31 09:42:02] - Nevermind, got it. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 09:41:49] - aaron: what base? -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 09:41:37] - Paul: The, "I have a couple of thousand that I want to turn into a couple of tens of thousands quickly so I can move out" type hunches. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-31 09:40:11] - Xpovos: What kind of hunches? -Paul

[2006-03-30 10:48:40] - mig: I find that it's easier to just keep a list of places that it's ok to go.
-Paul[2006-03-30 10:45:28] - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4856074.stm ukgov approves national id. my list of places to not ever go keeps growing.... - mig
[2006-03-30 10:28:59] - a: who is other people? (I can finally come this week yay) - vinnie
[2006-03-30 10:19:22] - i think if a similar incident happened with the bball team, white players would HAVE to be suspended. duke wouldn't be able to deal with the bad publicity otherwise...... they are already trying to figure out whether this is going to impact enrollment rates for next fall. - aba
[2006-03-30 10:18:07] - well, the other part of the race issue is that duke is a school filled mostly with white/asian rich kids and the actual durham population is predominantly poorer african american families. this type of incident and how duke handles it will have a huge effect on the local relationship. - aba
[2006-03-30 10:17:47] - aaron: sorry. it has to be sfm. other people might be coming late and they're assuming it will be sfm. ~a
[2006-03-30 10:16:27] - sam: no way they do it. there's too much money involved in bball. it'd have to be a much worse incident than this for them to suspend the entire bball team (i.e. the entire team would have to be accused) - mig
[2006-03-30 10:07:52] - sam: I sincerely doubt it, if for no other reason than that the basketball team has more than one black person on the squad. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-30 10:07:14] - aba: i wonder if duke's president would have done the same thing if the men's basketball team was in the same situation. -sam
[2006-03-30 10:06:53] - ddr_people: sfm o nvcc? - aaron
[2006-03-30 10:03:48] - aba: The reports I heard (NPR) indicated that the victim was alleging racial epithets were used prior to the rape, and may have been a factor in the motive. So it's a double-whammy. I'm still surprised about the level of uproar, though. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-30 09:58:24] - the problem is that both race (a neighbour heard the players making derogatory comments) and rape (allegedly) are involved. both topics are hot button issues. - aba
[2006-03-30 09:56:30] - sam: there have been 6 protests on campus in the span of 5 days. i don't think the athletics dept anticipated such a huge backlash (they initially only forfeited their first game). - aba

-Paul[2006-03-29 22:27:23] - http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2389518 Look at the "911 call from March 13" section on the right. Can anybody tell me what that has to do with the story? -Paul

-Paul[2006-03-29 16:33:41] - paul: is your tv under warranty? ~a
[2006-03-29 16:28:08] - Sam: Maybe she shouldn't have fouled so much then. Besides, I watched the first half, the foul trouble didn't keep her on the bench all that long. -Paul
[2006-03-29 16:26:28] - Dave: My TV would definitely fall under that category. -Paul
[2006-03-29 16:19:51] - dave: yeah, i'm guessing that doesn't affect hdtvs that don't have bulbs (mine's a crt without a fan) ~a
[2006-03-29 16:06:26] - of course if your tv is still under warranty, than there's no need -dave
[2006-03-29 16:05:24] - for things like light projection tv's -dave
[2006-03-29 16:05:10] - I think it is primarily for things light projection tv's, like DLP etc -dave
[2006-03-29 16:03:45] - large HDTV owners: I heard today that you might want to invest in an uninterruptible power supply for your tv - apparently, if you have a power outage when you've been watching tv for awhile, it can blow your projector bulb since the fan that cools it turns off -dave

[2006-03-29 15:09:00] - paul: candace parker is only a freshman (RS). she will be so much better next year. -sam
[2006-03-29 15:06:53] - paul: she played 5 minutes less because she was in foul trouble early in the game. stupid refs... -sam

[2006-03-29 13:13:44] - mig: did he take a lot of sick days? .) -amy
[2006-03-29 12:44:53] - i know one of my ex-coworkers who was like that. it was weird to see him wipe everything he was about to touch every so often. - mig
[2006-03-29 12:08:56] - Pierce: I pretty much agree too. Maybe if it's flu season and you share a phone, you might want to wipe it off but wiping down your desk all the time seems a bit like overkill. -Paul
[2006-03-29 12:07:25] - Amy: I still think you're crazy.
-Paul[2006-03-29 12:05:12] - aba: Ah, ok. That clears things up a bit. Thanks. -Paul
[2006-03-29 11:45:00] - hmm i think that sounded meaner than it was supposed to. "tease lightheartedly"? .) -amy
[2006-03-29 11:44:17] - pierce: despite my toothbrush comment, I agree. i know someone who is a total germophobe and his immune system isn't great... we all make fun of him that if he never built up an immune system because he didn't expose himself to all the germs .p -amy
[2006-03-29 11:41:53] - paul: about the germ thing, I believe all of the things they're saying but I honestly suspect we're better off being exposed to a lot of those germs at the "ambient" levels on desks and whatnot so that we'll have some resistance when we get a serious exposure. - pierce
[2006-03-29 11:39:48] - pierce: Thanks. I wanted to make extra sure that I'm right before I changed my tech lead's code without telling him (where "make extra sure" = "ask mboard"). -amy
[2006-03-29 11:34:25] - amy: yes, it is redundant. - pierce
[2006-03-29 11:28:49] - java_people: just making extra sure... strVariable = strVariable = "string"; is redundant right? strVariable = "string"; does the exact same thing? -amy
[2006-03-29 11:18:28] - ahahaha. "Every time you flush the toilet, your btoothbrush gets sprayed with bacteria. Gross but true." I keep my toothbrush in my bedroom rather than the bathroom for that exact reason and everyone thought I was crazy! -amy
[2006-03-29 11:14:24] - i can't believe only 68% of people wash their hands before leaving a bathroom. that is really gross! - aba
[2006-03-29 11:13:24] - paul: yah, he is an artist. he uses both drawing and some more traditional elements (ie the title for the comic is a japanese style stamp). - aba
[2006-03-29 10:46:01] - http://lifestyle.msn.com/MindBodyandSoul/HealthyBody/Articlelhj.aspx?cp-documentid=376522>1=7850 Interesting information about germs. -Paul
[2006-03-29 10:05:22] - aba: I'm confused. Is he an aspiring comic artist/writer or something? Are all of his posts in comic form? -Paul
[2006-03-29 09:52:26] - a: no, not really.... was just curious.
- aba[2006-03-29 09:40:41] - aba: no reason really. i just think %ages are easier for me to read. the sigfigs are consistent (which means the brain doesn't have to ignore information) and the columns are comparable. you think i should add back in the raw number of posts? ~a
[2006-03-29 09:36:08] - aaron: I was reading that entry and thinking the whole time to myself, 'robots.txt.'. Then I see the comments, and while it's obviously not the ideal answer in that security is still non-existant but, can it be explained to me why this solution wouldn't at least solve the immediate problem? -- Xpovos
[2006-03-29 08:56:10] - a: how come you don't have raw number of posts anywhere? - aba
[2006-03-29 08:55:39] - paul: http://tokyoblog.livejournal.com/calendar interesting blog by a foreigner living in tokyo, japan. - aba
[2006-03-29 08:54:36] - sam: for more questions, you can read the code http://aporter.org/msg/statssh.txt (i wrote this a long time ago; back then i didn't "use strict" as often) ~a
[2006-03-29 08:51:13] - sam: the other tables are more self explanatory. ~a
[2006-03-29 08:50:36] - sam: "3:9" and "5:9" are harder to explain, but the "3:9" is a number that gives a feeling of how well you've been doing recently. "5:9" is a number that gives a feeling of how well you've been doing longer term. ~a
[2006-03-29 08:49:25] - sam: "10k%" means out of the last 10,000 posts, what % of those posts are yours. "1k%" means out of the last 1,000 posts, what % of those posts are yours. "num%" means out of all of the posts, what % of those posts are yours. "recip" means how many posts were sent to you (like how many messages start with "sam:"). "length" is the average length of your posts. ~a
[2006-03-28 23:12:02] - Sam: Also... whose team won the game? -Paul
[2006-03-28 23:09:50] - Sam: Latta had four, Parker only had one. Parker also had 8 turnovers! -Paul
[2006-03-28 23:08:31] - Sam: That Parker has less stamina than Latta isn't a good thing. Also, that doesn't take into account steals. -Paul

[2006-03-28 22:07:37] - paul: i think my girl did a little bit better than your girl
-sam[2006-03-28 22:07:08] - paul: Parker: 20 POINTS, 8-12 shooting, 9 REB, 3 AST..... Latta: 20 POINTS, 5-15 shooting, 3 REB, 9 AST -sam\
[2006-03-28 20:53:25] - aba: Maybe they had a history of paying thousands of dollars for burgers.
-Paul[2006-03-28 20:30:43] - when i paid off a large sum on my debit card, the bank held the charge and called me to make sure that my card hadn't been stolen. i'm really surprised by that story. - aba
[2006-03-28 19:53:24] - Sam: 43-31 at the half. Somebody sure is serving a can of whoop-ass. -Paul

[2006-03-28 16:54:14] - a: Even if it was as safe as a credit card, a mistake like this can't cause some of your checks to bounce if you're using a credit card. -Paul
[2006-03-28 16:47:19] - paul: most banks (like boa) assure their customers that using a debit card is as safe as using a credit card. i'm not sure i believe them (since your credit card company is separate from your bank means a credit card is inherently safer than a debit card) ~a
[2006-03-28 16:42:45] - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10958646/?GT1=7850 This is why I use a credit card instead of a debit card. -Paul
[2006-03-28 14:29:58] - a: I honestly have no facts to back me up, but my assumption is that the stereotype is more true than not. -Paul
[2006-03-28 14:28:19] - really? are we really all talking about senior prom in a public school? like when people are or are-about-to-be 18? i'm surprised there is a perception of abstanace in general at such a relatively old age. ~a
[2006-03-28 14:26:16] - Probably wholly dependent on your high school. -- Xpovos
[2006-03-28 13:43:46] - Sam: Strong? I would say so. Especially when you're talking about a number 2 seed against a number 1 seed. -Paul
[2006-03-28 13:38:25] - paul: btw, is "serving a can of whoop-ass" a strong statement? -sam
[2006-03-28 13:32:37] - a: based on people i know... it's my "assumption." probably a bad one though... -sam
[2006-03-28 13:30:39] - Sam: Myth or not, I'm pretty sure it IS a stereotype, and that's what my joke was based off of. -Paul

[2006-03-28 13:28:49] - sam: how do you base this assumption? ~a
[2006-03-28 13:20:52] - paul: i think it's a myth. i don't think many of them actually engage in sexual activities. -sam
[2006-03-28 13:08:57] - a: Fair enough. -Paul
[2006-03-28 12:54:19] - paul: i think generally prom dates do more than that with each other. ~a
[2006-03-28 12:02:46] - Sam: I think that's the stereotype, whether it's true or not. -Paul
[2006-03-28 11:50:55] - paul: so prom dates have oral sex with each other? -sam
[2006-03-28 11:06:41] - Sam: An allusion to oral sex. -Paul

- vinnie[2006-03-28 09:09:13] - mig: I'd rather they just ax the whole end-zone celebration issue once and for all and start throwing 15-yard PF penalties for anyhting other than handing the ball to the official. It'd be simpler, and the players would adjust. -- Xpovos

But the bottom line is my insurance went down about $200 this past semester, and I figure it'll go down at least as much next. -- Xpovos

[2006-03-25 20:13:11] - aaron: i'm thinking maybe this game tries to put too much stuff to the memory. all other games run fine. -sam
[2006-03-25 19:29:33] - sam: It could be bad hardware, like a defective memory chip, or it could be a game-specific problem... It probably wouldn't be insufficient memory - aaron
[2006-03-25 13:45:24] - typo... insuffient = insufficient -sam
[2006-03-25 13:44:35] - why do some console games freeze or crash in the middle of a game? is it because insuffient memory? I've played True Crime New York City (xbox) for about 5 hours and it froze/crashed on me twice. -sam

[2006-03-24 16:20:21] - a: I think the point isn't necessarily not caring what she thinks (although I agree that it's what I first think of), but more about taking charge. -Paul
[2006-03-24 16:19:15] - a: My experience is inconclusive. -Paul
[2006-03-24 16:06:09] - paul: "I mean, she likes Republicans, because they have no conscience and they’re less sensitive." "Exactly, yes, and because you know, they have no regard for who’s going to be going into debt or anything." sounds like they both agree that we shouldn't care what she thinks. ~a

[2006-03-24 07:35:23] - i first read it as "sony blurry disc players"... then i remembered microsoft's attempt to embed DRM in the monitors, to decode legitimate DVDs, and laughed a little - aaron
[2006-03-23 23:08:59] - a: Feature set? -Paul
[2006-03-23 16:55:04] - sam: other reasons include: the ps2 firmware is very old and doesn't play parts of many movies. the laser in the ps2 wears out very quickly if used as a regular dvd movie player. the feature set of the ps2 for playing movies is slightly lower than that found in a regular dvd movie player. ~a
[2006-03-23 16:53:00] - sam: do you use a ps2+dvd remote control or do you use the standard ps2 controler? if you use a standard ps2 controler, then that alone is a reason not to use a ps2 as a dvd player. ~a
[2006-03-23 16:44:00] - a: i personally don't see any differences between PS2's DVD playing capabilities and regular DVD players' DVD playing capabilities -sam
[2006-03-23 16:42:33] - a: do you remember the price differences between the dvd players and the PS2 when they first came out? -sam
