  1. pretty neat. simple, elegant. she wants something other than her CD player to run on the treadmill with. Since our music is already in iTunes, she just put a playlist together and dropped it on her shuffle icon. 512 MB will do 125 songs, so that is plenty for variety and it is lightweight.

     

    Plus, it can be a quick data transport device instead of going 802.11b.

     

    It's exactly what I thought it would be and I got it for $80 at Target (wife works there as a pharmacist).

  2. Makes you wish you had spent more time in art class, don't it?

    oh, I spent a lot of time in art class. if it was possible to make a living that's what I would have done. "Starving artist" just didn't sound appealing....

     

    As a side note, our 50 year old art teacher married an 18 year old student who used to stay late every day.... nice. :blink:

  3. Here's a question sds.  What about an icon that warns people that a normal football or a sports type post has gone south and turned into a member vs. member death cage match?  Kinda like a dagger with a heart through it or something of that nature?

    they have some funny emoticons out there like that.

     

    hopefully, members will just delete their owns threads that have gone that far south before a moderator even gets a chance to answer a complaint.

  4. I may be one of the 1% of all American's who can honestly say NO to that. I have never seen any of those movies. More into Indiana Jones, the Godfather, and Evil dead when it comes to trilogies...

    Well, briefly - he is the Emperor - the guy Darth Vader reports to. You do know Darth Vader don't you?

     

    Anyhoo, the quote underneath the picture is what he says to Luke Skywalker.

  5. I could never tell what it was until I got my laptop. My laptop screen is so clear and bright its ridiculous. On the desktop, I could tell it was a guy with a hood on, but could never get the detail i do know. It looks like the creepy guy from the Video Board game back in the day... the game was called "Nightmare" .. the "scary" guy was THE GATEKEEPER... :o

     

    hang on .. .this particular post was OT...

     

    wow - no way the OT freaks can avoid those!

    edit: this is what that guy looked like.. Man, I was 11 when that game came out, and it was indeed rather scary..

    uhhhh... you have seen a semi-popular trilogy called Star Wars haven't you?

  6. although I don't think I am ambitious enough right now, it would be conceivable to write a hack that filtered out any thread that contained the "OT" icon....

     

    If anyone wants a project in PHP... there you go. It would involve modifying the query to view the main board, storing a value in the member's table, and adding a setting in the CP (with associated html).

  7. Should we pin this as the textbook example of what's best suited for a blog? :D

    Let me just say upfront that what should be in a blog and what should be posted here will be the single most difficult thing to define. Actually, I don't think it could be defined. this entire area is gray and I doubt there is little black or white. :D

     

    I think there was a time when a post like this could have had the potential to lead to an epic "I'm a horrible human being" thread.

     

    My guess is that blogs should be geared towards particular people as opposed to specific posts. I mean, if BlueFire does not have a history of these type of threads, then a blog doesn't make sense. However, if someone has the need to regularly contribute items like this - then a blog makes sense.

     

    Yes? :o

  8. bull sh--.

     

    This is not his "responsibility" at all. She did this action out of spite. They were broken up, and he had NO IDEA his seed was sitting frozen next to the Popsicles.  This guy gets a BJ, so he should have to pay $800 a month for a kid that this psycho B word created?

     

    His sperm made this baby, but not at all with his consent. Whenever we see these white trash families with 10 kids who they can't afford the first thought is "jeez, try some birth control". Well, I think getting a BJ is one was of making sure you don't get a chick pregnant. Apparently not here.

     

    Does this suck? Of course it does - theres a  kid involved. But there's no reason this man should have to pay $800 a month for something like this. I mean, hell, if a guy masturbates and the girl comes by a takes his sperm right after and does this, is the guy still responsible?

    to say you need to grow up is an understatement. You talk in terms of what this guy should be forced to do and I talk in terms of what he should do - w/o a court order. You see a man being hurt - I see a child who has no say in the matter. He has a child that needs care. It doesn't matter how it happened. Sometimes life is about what doing the right thing, not the convenient thing.

     

    If anything, he should be suing for custody from this psycho.

     

    and, if I am allowed to moralize a bit more, stuff like this doesn't happen when you are married and committed to your spouse. There is more to morality than someone just wanting to be a wet blanket on your fun.

  9. I'm a bit surprised at the comments, but maybe I'm just the oddball here.

     

    Obviously, this is one wacked out story that once again proves that truth is stranger than fiction. With that said - there is an innocent child here that needs to be raised. That article didn't really go into details, but no matter how fricked up the conception was - he needs to deal with it properly and provide support. You don't punish the child because the mother is a psycho.

  10. Does anyone in Washington know what the hell they are doing?

    the Skin's are getting crucified for this proposed deal on the radio... Moss said that Portis told him WEEKS ago that this might happen. Talk radio wants to know how Portis knows this and if he is the shadow GM these days. Skins would take a $9M hit to do this....
