[2007-08-09 09:43:26] - pierce:  you're flawed.  ~a

[2007-08-09 09:38:09] - just send her an email and ask.  ~a

[2007-08-09 09:33:03] - Xpovos: Can you email me Katie's email address? She told me on a voicemail I got from her but I can't quite get the whole thing even though I've listened to it a few times. Thanks. -Paul

[2007-08-09 08:47:09] - http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2007/08/09/study_iq_linked_to_virginity.aspx This gets categorized under "Duh", I think. -- Xpovos

[2007-08-09 04:18:07] - that whole storyline was BS.  old biff shouldn't have been able to bring the delorean back to the same 2015.  after he gave young biff the almanac, going forward should have brought him to the 2015 on the same timeline as dystopian 1985.  THE WHOLE PREMISE IS FLAWED AND THAT MAKES ME ANGRY. - pierce

[2007-08-09 03:44:01] - a: I wanted to keep it. Let's blame the Doc. - Kaleb

[2007-08-09 00:16:04] - he didn't steal it, you threw it away.  ~a

[2007-08-08 18:08:03] - Sometimes I think it is 2015, we have flying cars, and Biff Tannen is trying to steal my almanac. - Kaleb

[2007-08-08 17:36:08] - does anybody else ever think it is 2008? i'm especially having trouble in august. it's like that game where you ask someone a lot of oast words and then say "what goes into a toaster" - aaron

[2007-08-08 16:59:38] - aaron:  "passin' the dutchie from coast to coast like my man gary wilson rocks the most"  (beck)  ~a

[2007-08-08 16:16:07] - Dutchie (final answer) - aaron

[2007-08-08 16:15:41] - Pass The Dutchie - aaron

[2007-08-08 16:14:58] - a: [[Pass the Dutchie][Dutchie]] or [[Dutchie][Pass the Dutchie]] (sry i always forget which way the arguments go :-p ) - aaron

[2007-08-08 15:17:28] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVh429Dp7r0 nes emulator on the iphone. gotta give em props for an innovative (albeit completely unusable) interface  - aaron

[2007-08-08 13:54:45] - a: an investment bank! and a big one too... ~gurkie

[2007-08-08 13:51:15] - Sam: I saw it, I was watching the Nationals game at the time. -Paul

[2007-08-08 13:42:43] - a: Actually thats just "Deutsch", but "Deutsche" is a word too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche - Kaleb

[2007-08-08 13:37:26] - aaron: Awesome find! I'll forward this information to my boss. I'm sure he'll be happy to see that Vista got a little less crappy. - Kaleb

[2007-08-08 13:36:26] - a: German (language) - Kaleb

[2007-08-08 13:25:45] - what is deutsche?  ~a

[2007-08-08 12:57:57] - so, I heard that Barry Bonds broke the records last night... Was anyone following it?  -sam

[2007-08-08 12:42:02] - does anyone else snicker internally whenever they read the word "Deutsche"?  I can't help but imagine a pronunciation that connotes a feminine hygiene product when I see it. - pierce

[2007-08-08 12:23:24] - kaleb: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070807-vista-performance-and-compatibility-packs-released.html maybe you can run visual studio at work now - aaron

[2007-08-08 11:53:50] - vinnie:  i didn't get it either.  :-P  ~a

[2007-08-08 11:44:54] - http://video.aol.com/video-detail/id/2240065861 Wedding reception does the Thriller dance. -Paul

[2007-08-08 11:41:53] - http://www.aolvideoblog.com/2007/08/08/battle-at-kruger Pretty cool video, although it's a little long. -Paul

[2007-08-08 11:01:02] - I just now understood the title *slaps forehead* - vinnie

[2007-08-07 16:32:05] - Paul: Subprime = FICO below 600 (generally) Alt-A = FICO between 600 and 700 Prime = FICO above 700.  The problem is not that AHM was Alt-A (not subprime) but that too many (vast majority) of their loans were teaser-rate or interest only for a period of time.  When the loan resets to the higher payment, people default at 'unusually' high rates. -- Xpovos

[2007-08-07 14:46:31] - Pierce: I think we can both agree that I am not cool. -Paul

[2007-08-07 14:46:15] - Xpovos: I don't know what that means. :-) -Paul

[2007-08-07 11:56:32] - a: its all good, whenever im researching a topic for use i figure that this is a good place to ask questions, a lot of people on here have great experience :-D ~gurkie

[2007-08-07 11:55:37] - pierce: the cool kids dont host websites. (or register names) ~gurkie

[2007-08-07 11:40:51] - paul: all the cool kids use dot org. - pierce

[2007-08-07 11:11:08] - Paul: AHM isn't subprime.  Strictly Alt-A. -- Xpovos

[2007-08-07 10:48:28] - a: I just got dot net and dot com, though, no dot org. -Paul

[2007-08-07 10:38:09] - paul:  coo.  ~a

[2007-08-07 10:38:02] - gurkie:  i've used xstream but i've never done encryption with xstream sorry.  ~a

[2007-08-07 10:35:49] - a: Registration successful. -Paul

[2007-08-07 10:16:17] - Xpovos: I'm not familiar enough with subprime lenders to say. -Paul

[2007-08-07 10:04:33] - does anyone know about manipulating xstream to encrypt specificied xml nodes for you? ~gurkie

[2007-08-07 09:44:03] - AHM declaring bankruptcy.  Who do you think is next? -- Xpovos

[2007-08-06 17:51:07] - a: it's nothing big.  vinnie tried to rickroll us. - pierce

[2007-08-06 17:50:45] - also, slashdot's comment system is waaay more advanced than ars, but that's mostly a consequence of its popularity: slashdot developed its moderation and metamoderation system because it became so popular it was swarmed by trolls.  Ars isn't so much, I guess. - pierce

[2007-08-06 17:48:05] - a: in my experience, ars has a more professional tone and standard of journalism.  Slashdot is more of a link aggregator and they don't seem to do much fact-checking or proofreading of the submitted description.  The advantage is that Slashdot gets to be a lot more prolific. - pierce

[2007-08-06 16:37:30] - s/tec/my workplace/  ~a

[2007-08-06 16:37:23] - vinnie:  youtube blocked at tec.  ~a

[2007-08-06 16:33:06] - a: http://arstechnica.com/index.ars - vinnie

[2007-08-06 16:10:05] - paul:  how is ars different from slashdot?  ~a

[2007-08-06 16:09:31] - paul:  http://arstechnica.com/index.ars  ~a

[2007-08-06 15:03:12] - Sam: I like http://arstechnica.com/index.ars. -Paul

[2007-08-06 14:50:53] - sam:  http://slashdot.org/ :-P  ~a

[2007-08-06 14:45:11] - any of you know a good computer/IT related magazine you would recommend? -sam

[2007-08-06 14:27:25] - I love it when the market is up 1% and my portfolio is down 1%. -Paul

[2007-08-06 13:55:53] - a: I know, I'm already concerned that it's going to be a problem and I don't even think they will be able to dry it for a couple of days. -Paul

[2007-08-06 13:54:09] - paul:  careful, something starts growing in the carpet padding after like a day.  ~a

[2007-08-06 13:21:17] - Preseason NCAA football USA Today rankings just came out. -sam

[2007-08-06 12:58:58] - Vinnie: Yeah. the top of the carpet isn't wet all over (although it is in some spots) but if you step on it, you hear a squishing sound of water moving around underneath. -paul

[2007-08-06 12:51:21] - paul: that really sucks. it's coming in under the carpet? - vinnie

[2007-08-06 10:50:07] - a: Not that I can tell. It seems to have gotten worse since last night. :-( -Paul

[2007-08-06 10:37:29] - paul:  science, did the leaking stop?  ~a

[2007-08-06 09:28:57] - paul:  oh no.  ~a

[2007-08-06 09:09:00] - a: I didn't get around to registering the domain last night because it turns out there is water leaking into my bedroom under the carpet. I'll try to get it done tonight. -Paul

[2007-08-05 17:27:02] - yikes, you must pay a lot for hosting.  ~a

[2007-08-04 11:06:17] - cool, thanks.  ~aa

[2007-08-04 07:30:55] - a: Also, ServInt uses Virtuozzo to grant Virtual Private Servers, so I have far more control over my site. On the software side, it's almost like controlling my own dedicated server. - Kaleb

[2007-08-04 07:29:26] - a: ServInt allows for more freedom with what content can be hosted. LunarPages disallowed some types of forum software to be run, as they claimed it used too much processing power. ServInt will let you do whatever you want (that is, as long as it's not illegal). Of course, nothing stopped me from hosting tons of copyrighted mp3s at both sites. - Kaleb

[2007-08-03 21:55:02] - kaleb:  question:  if lunarpages was good, why did you decide to switch to servint?  ~a

[2007-08-03 21:30:58] - *I'm using - Kaleb

[2007-08-03 21:30:32] - I using ServInt for hosting and they've been good so far (about a year). LunarPages was good; I used them for about two years. I once used HostRocket, but I had downtime problems and the customer service there sucked. - Kaleb

[2007-08-03 16:59:29] - paul:  the whole cct is a lawsuit waiting to happen . . . and they just finished making it much longer.  ~a

[2007-08-03 16:55:35] - a: Just seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. -Paul

[2007-08-03 16:51:59] - paul:  i don't see why not.  ~a

[2007-08-03 16:46:58] - Amy: Have you ever used network solutions? -Paul

[2007-08-03 16:46:40] - a: Are they going to keep it around? -Paul

[2007-08-03 16:44:08] - paul:  fcpa bought up a ton of land for the cct (like in the last 5 years or so).  the part of the cct that you see in the pictures is very new so they probably recently bought up that course.  ~a

[2007-08-03 16:42:39] - amy:  thanks for the info.  ~a

[2007-08-03 16:28:50] - i have also used shieldhost and it was absolutely terrible (i hesitate to even give their name mention, i think they are kind of a no-name company). i have heard good things about dreamhost but have not yet tried it. -amy

[2007-08-03 16:27:30] - i use 1and1 for web hosting. i use godaddy and namesecure for domain name services. 1and1 is pretty good so far, but i don't necessarily use all the features that you (who am i talking to?) might use so ymmv. -amy

[2007-08-03 16:21:17] - we can try godaddy if you want.  i think we can ask amy what she thinks of using them as a hosting service.  we can also try poehosting; i had limited success with them in the past.  ~a

[2007-08-03 16:20:40] - a: Weird. Did Wakefield just buy some extra land or something? -Paul

[2007-08-03 16:18:03] - a: How about.... web hosting? :-) -Paul

[2007-08-03 16:10:07] - paul:  http://aporter.org/pics/tmp/c/0.html (the page takes a few minutes to load so load it up in its own tab)  ~a

[2007-08-03 16:09:36] - what should we talk about?  ~a

[2007-08-03 16:09:29] - good question!  ~a

[2007-08-03 15:32:12] - Why have there been no posts to the message board today? -Paul

[2007-08-02 16:29:29] - k.  ~a

[2007-08-02 16:17:17] - a: i'll probably show up there around 4:45-5:00 - aaron

[2007-08-02 16:12:53] - aaron:  i guess i'll call you around 5?  ~a

[2007-08-02 15:49:44] - aaron: let me know. I'll be there either way - vinnie

[2007-08-02 15:03:11] - aaron:  what time?  ~a

[2007-08-02 14:36:32] - ddr_people: i'm going to check out NVCC today and see if ITG machine is running - aaron

[2007-08-02 13:57:08] - anonymous gets me. - pierce

[2007-08-02 13:47:42] - pierce is mean

[2007-08-02 11:30:10] - paul: you should be, it's your fault. - pierce

[2007-08-02 11:20:21] - Pierce: Sorry that the Manning brothers have such girly names. -Paul

[2007-08-02 01:32:59] - paul: that's offensive and sexist... somehow.  I demand you apologize. - pierce

[2007-08-01 21:29:42] - Did anybody else know that Eli Manning's real first name is Elisha? What's with the Manning parents and using female names for their sons? -Paul

[2007-08-01 18:42:46] - Mig: Yeah, that's why I could totally never be on TV. I would be saying stuff like that every day. -Paul

[2007-08-01 18:21:16] - mig:  and being correct is all that matters.  ~a

[2007-08-01 17:49:24] - paul:  the sad thing is the pitt reporter is 100% correct. - mig

[2007-08-01 17:41:07] - in general WP:3O can give you an objective outsider.  ~a

[2007-08-01 17:39:54] - a: thanks :-D  - aaron

[2007-08-01 17:33:49] - he just wanted some assistance (i.e. a third opinion).  ~a

[2007-08-01 17:32:45] - paul:  nope.  everybody on wikipedia is just a wikipedian when it comes to content disputes.  but even in other cases, i'm not an administrator. ~a

[2007-08-01 17:28:20] - a: Do you have more power than Aaron on wikipedia or something? -paul

[2007-08-01 17:26:40] - oh you did bring it to the talk page.  sucks that they are ignoring the talk page i guess.  ~a

[2007-08-01 17:25:23] - i wouldn't call that an edit war :-P  though slow edit wars can be annoying too.  i've reverted, if it keeps creeping back, then bring it to the talk page, or add something to their user talk pages (and i know it sucks that they're anonymous editors that don't have static ips).  ~a

[2007-08-01 17:15:46] - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/08/01/bc.fbn.vick.reporterapo.ap/index.html Pittsburgh reporter said Vick better off raping woman. -Paul

[2007-08-01 17:03:59] - a: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InkLink i'm in an edit war heelp - aaron

[2007-08-01 16:07:25] - Paul: Timing? If the stock is fundamentally sound, ride it out.  Strangely, my picks are beating the market past few weeks.  Not doing well, but beating the market. -- Xpovos

[2007-08-01 16:06:28] - a: It's been extremely volatile.  Yesterday AHM spooked the whole thing, today BZH and the rest seemed to be pulling it down.  What I can't figure is the upturn in the last hour.    I understand down on bad news; but up sharply on nothing?  That's volatile. -- Xpovos

[2007-08-01 15:41:42] - seriously . . . the whole market has been sucking the last few weeks.  ~a

[2007-08-01 15:41:20] - because you suck.  ~a

[2007-08-01 15:28:51] - Why has every stock that I've bought lately gone down 5-10% over the next week? :-( -Paul

[2007-08-01 15:10:16] - Here comes football season! -- Xpovos

[2007-08-01 15:04:36] - a: I don't know when practice starts, but I think summer camp just ended. -Paul

[2007-08-01 14:50:36] - paul:  dont u guys have like forever before anything is on?  ~a

[2007-08-01 14:48:49] - Gurkie: Basketball ended a couple of months ago. -Paul

[2007-08-01 14:43:18] - didnt basketball season just end? dont u guys have like forever before anything is on? ~gurkie

[2007-08-01 12:36:01] - i dont' see detriot as being as good this year either.  Their reign of terror in the east is over imo. - mig

[2007-08-01 11:58:50] - Vinnie: I'm not seeing the Heat as being very good next year, but I mostly agree. I see them as not gelling completely and not playing up the their potential. -Paul

[2007-08-01 11:36:18] - paul: yeah. I see them not gelling and losing to the Pistons or the Heat, but hell, the season hasn't even started yet :) - vinnie

[2007-08-01 11:34:19] - Vinnie: Yeah, I think they're in a little better shape since they are more in their prime than Malone and Payton were, but I still think they are probably only going to be a 3 or 4 seed in the east. -Paul

[2007-08-01 11:30:20] - paul: yeah, I'm feeling echoes of '03-'04 Lakers - vinnie

[2007-08-01 10:35:14] - Vinnie: I should like them more since I like Ray Allen a lot but I can't help but think they're going to be a maddeningly disappointing team. -Paul

[2007-08-01 10:28:45] - KG is something else, though.  Too bad the Celtics are something else in the opposite direction and then some. -- Xpovos

[2007-08-01 10:27:00] - paul: because you like them! hahaha. in honesty, I got nothing 'gainst them - vinnie

[2007-08-01 09:16:02] - Vinnie: Why not? -Paul

[2007-08-01 09:14:10] - http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2954127&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines aww man, I don't want to root for the Celtics - vinnie

[2007-07-31 15:21:31] - BBCODE'D - aaron

[2007-07-31 13:06:57] - to debug the problem (to determine if it's a firefox problem or a flash problem):  disable flash.  ~a

[2007-07-31 13:06:33] - paul:  i meant to debug the problem.  ~a

[2007-07-31 13:03:05] - Aaron: Not sure I have that installed. -Paul

[2007-07-31 13:02:57] - a: I would rather not, I think there are some sites I visit which use flash. -Paul

[2007-07-31 12:43:35] - paul: uninstall bonzi buddy - aaron

[2007-07-31 12:27:00] - paul:  disable flash?  ~a

[2007-07-31 12:07:09] - Aaron: Not sure, it just started today on my work computer. -Paul

[2007-07-31 12:06:57] - Gah, this problem with firefox is really starting to get annoying. It has frozen like 10 times this morning already. -Paul

[2007-07-31 12:04:39] - paul: i've never had problems like that, is it everywhere or just on your home computer? - aaron

[2007-07-31 11:48:57] - paul:  close enough.  2.0.0.* are all basically the same.  ~a

[2007-07-31 11:48:08] - a: Looks like 2.0.0.5, actually. -Paul

[2007-07-31 11:40:18] - so 2.0.0.6, then?  ~a

[2007-07-31 11:19:38] - a: I don't think I'm beta testing anything. I just download new versions when it tells me to. -Paul

[2007-07-31 11:19:20] - Pierce: Could be the same issue, I had some pages that use flash open. -Paul

[2007-07-31 11:14:49] - a: yes, hence the assuming.  but I thought I'd check in case your arrangements hadn't included posting them in a public forum. - pierce

[2007-07-31 11:13:38] - i think it's funny he calls them MY yearbook pics since they're an obvious copyvio.  ~a

[2007-07-31 11:11:57] - pierce:  yes.  isn't it obvious?  the username is "facebook".  ~a

[2007-07-31 11:10:46] - (I have no idea if that link will work for anyone but me... the blessing and curse of facebook is that it's very finicky about making information available to different classes of user) - pierce

[2007-07-31 11:07:26] - a: I assume bryan oh posted a login/pass for your yearbook pics directory to the tj99 facebook group with your permission? http://vt.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2401158368&topic=2723 - pierce

[2007-07-31 11:06:13] - paul: I've been having problems like that.  usually it's on flash-heavy pages or with specific flash apps.  don't know if it's your same issue. - pierce

[2007-07-31 10:55:12] - gurkie:  thank you.  i've also spent a ridiculous amount of time organizing them.  ~a

[2007-07-31 10:53:21] - paul:  no.  what version?  are you betatesting 3.0?  ~a

[2007-07-31 10:27:08] - Has anybody else had weird problems with firefox lately? It keeps freezing for like 5 minutes and disappearing from my taskbar. -Paul

[2007-07-31 10:15:55] - Murder Ball oops - aaron

[2007-07-31 10:15:37] - [Murder ball] In Toronto in the 1970s Murder Ball was banned from the high schools. A similar game called Friendly Ball was immediately instituted. - aaron

[2007-07-31 10:07:57] - pierce: i lied... i understood stage right speaker not computer speaker ~gurkie

[2007-07-31 10:03:50] - a: you have ridiculous amounts of pics (and i like the organization) I should set up my computer and burn u a dvd of more... looks like aar has been giving you pics.... ~gurkie

[2007-07-31 10:02:44] - pierce: i totally get you if he doesnt ~gurkie

[2007-07-31 09:54:40] - Pierce: My work computer doesn't have speakers. -Paul

[2007-07-31 09:47:54] - Paul: you understand that I was talking about your computer speaker, right? - pierce

[2007-07-31 09:46:23] - a: Well, not nothing.  But, yeah.  You can pretty much stop reading the article after three paragraphs. -- Xpovos

[2007-07-31 09:21:23] - Xpovos: I'll have to beat them out of you next Sunday then. :-) -Paul

[2007-07-31 09:21:03] - Pierce: I checked them both. :-( -Paul

[2007-07-31 09:20:21] - oh i see . . . this article has nothing to do with "sex for the motherland".  great title, losers.  ~a

[2007-07-31 09:14:38] - the "disease-ridden population"?  god i hope they're getting tested in this camp.  ~a

[2007-07-31 09:01:14] - Sex for the motherland Not quite NSFW, but not really SFW either. -- Xpovos

[2007-07-31 08:52:04] - Paul: I snuck in and stole them.  I'll bring them back next time I come to play poker.  Which is never! -- Xpovos

[2007-07-30 23:14:44] - Pierce: Thanks, you're much more helpful than Adrian. -Paul

[2007-07-30 23:14:16] - a: Yeah, you were there. Strange thing is, I could've sworn I remembered putting them away with the chips but now they are nowhere to be found. -Paul

[2007-07-30 23:06:08] - paul: I think I may have seen them behind the right speaker. - pierce

[2007-07-30 22:20:30] - paul:  assuming i was there last time, i don't recall, sorry.  ~a

[2007-07-30 22:15:51] - Everybody who was at poker last time I hosted it: Does anybody happen to know where I put my two decks of cards? I can't seem to find them. -Paul

[2007-07-30 20:49:10] - Pierce: Glad to hear it. I can die happy now. :-) -Paul

[2007-07-30 20:30:34] - (and obvious, in retrospect) - pierce

[2007-07-30 20:16:38] - paul: ah.  your answer is acceptable. - pierce

[2007-07-30 19:33:16] - Pierce: I took off the second half of Friday and the first half of Monday. -Paul

[2007-07-30 18:45:45] - paul: what exactly is the "equivalent" of a three-day weekend but isn't just a three day weekend? did you take off thurs-sat and then work on sunday? - pierce

[2007-07-30 16:38:37] - Gurkie: Fine, next time you can drive yourself to Baltimore. :-) -Paul

[2007-07-30 16:36:35] - paul: slacker ~gurkie

[2007-07-30 16:36:16] - who promises not to kill who? and I saw a kwik-e-mart this weekend! ~gurkie

[2007-07-30 16:31:51] - Gurkie I've been busy with various things at work since I took the equivalent of a three day weekend. -Paul

[2007-07-30 16:24:21] - gurkie:  because you weren't here to liven things up.  ~a

[2007-07-30 16:18:34] - a: i was going to be sad, i thought no one wanted to go... the msg board is quiet today... WHY? ~gurkie

[2007-07-30 14:54:25] - gurkie:  mememe.  ~a

[2007-07-27 10:31:22] - everybody wants to be like michael dorn.  ~a

[2007-07-27 10:18:41] - and did Aaron spend it on a big prosthetic forehead, to wear on his real head? - vinnie

[2007-07-27 10:14:46] - did you pay aaron the $7 back?  :-D  ~a

[2007-07-27 10:13:17] - a: thank you mr. porter... now i need to update the me page so it makes me seem super cool! (to reflect reality)~gurkie

[2007-07-27 10:04:51] - gurkie:  by anybody, i meant anybody with an account :-P  ~a

[2007-07-27 10:04:16] - gurkie:  done.  let me know if it doesn't work.  ~a

[2007-07-27 10:04:02] - a: i emailed you, i looked briefly at creating account, i think it only allowed had a login option on the page that says create account... ~gurkie

[2007-07-27 10:01:49] - aaron: i think we should all be tied now! ~gurkie

[2007-07-27 10:01:10] - i guess email me the username and password you want.  ~a

[2007-07-27 09:23:05] - a: I think my board is broken now. :'( -Paul

[2007-07-27 01:15:30] - aaron:  everything seems fine now.  ~a

[2007-07-26 23:26:11] - aaron:  yeah, i'm upgrading php (and i'm rather bad at it).  sorry for that.  ~a

[2007-07-26 23:23:00] - a: the wiki is broken :-[ - aaron

[2007-07-26 16:44:24] - vinnie: yes - aaron

[2007-07-26 16:31:01] - vinnie:  not today, sorry.  ~a

[2007-07-26 16:28:04] - sfm today? - vinnie

[2007-07-26 14:03:39] - a: Yeah, I think it has to do with downgrades. Today is really hurting. :-/ -Paul

[2007-07-26 13:58:50] - Among other things, Credit Suisse downgraded them. -- Xpovos

[2007-07-26 13:45:01] - paul:  why did akamai drop so much?  ~a

[2007-07-26 13:37:54] - a: It looks like the XOM shortfall precipitated the ~10AM dip, though.  Watch for the next big dip in about 23 minutes. -- Xpovos

[2007-07-26 13:36:13] - Wow, that sounded like a poorly constructed sentence. -Paul

[2007-07-26 13:35:49] - I really wish I had some spare money lying around in my Scottrade account. I really am interested in buying some Akamai (AKAM) stock right now but I don't want to sell any of my stocks which are down big right now. -Paul

[2007-07-26 13:34:27] - xpovos:  everything is getting hammered.  ~a

[2007-07-26 12:35:22] - XOM: $1.83 profit per share and because it 'missed analyst expectations' the stock is getting hammered. -- Xpovos

[2007-07-26 11:56:07] - a: any site i try to go to is generally blocked except here, washingtonpost, worsethanfailure, wikipedia, and gmail. Sadly that means most of the stories that get posted I cant view. ~gurkie

[2007-07-26 11:44:07] - AAPL

[2007-07-26 11:44:02] - oh i know why!  heh  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:43:36] - why do i keep misspelling apple?  :-P  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:43:19] - i'm less heavily invested in single things though . . . so single decisions shouldn't affect me nearly as much as aaple did.  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:41:49] - a: Actually, I would've been up around $3k more too had I not sold FCX at $67. -Paul

[2007-07-26 11:41:26] - when i tell these stories, aaron tells me to sell my saic stock :'(  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:37:57] - a: Yeah, I have some similar recent stories, although not to the same degree. Let's just say I sold UA and FCX far too early. -Paul

[2007-07-26 11:33:00] - gurkie:  the herald tribune is blocked?  why?  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:32:20] - if i had not sold aaple 9 months ago, i'd be $3k richer.  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:29:34] - damn it, why did i sell aaple?  why did i sell apple at $79/share?!  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:28:23] - a: not from last night, i watched the show... for the fist time ever. and sadly the article is blocked so i cant read it :-( ~gurkie

[2007-07-26 11:26:42] - gurkie:  i'm not saying anything.  it's the article.  in fact, i think the article said *not* to do that but i forget why.  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:23:36] - title:  is that from that gameshow where people try to remember lyrics?  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:22:48] - a: so what you are saying is if i want to lose weight i should make friends with a bunch of stick thin people? ~gurkie

[2007-07-26 11:21:14] - gurkie:  yeah, that . . . or you're less inclined to lose weight.  ~a

[2007-07-26 11:19:46] - a: and hence are inclined to gain weight because you view it as acceptable? ~gurkie

[2007-07-26 10:53:42] - "You change your idea of what is an acceptable body type by looking at the people around you," seems like a more sound theory to explain the data.  ~a

[2007-07-26 10:52:22] - pierce:  to respond to your refutation, it appears (i've only read about two sentences of the article) that the article is talking about CHANGES in weight.  so people who make friends with people who share their interests wouldn't affect the outcome here.  ~a

[2007-07-26 09:18:49] - more to the point, if you guys get fat, don't even think of blaming me - pierce

[2007-07-26 09:14:48] - it couldn't possibly be that people who get fat due to love of food and sedentary recreation make friends with people who share their interests.  In other news, wearing big shoes makes your feet bigger! - pierce

[2007-07-26 08:11:35] - http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/07/25/healthscience/fat.php obesity spreads to friends, study concludes - aaron
