Wow a pearl necklace for Sun on page 9

True...but I doubt that the shows writers sat down and said, "It's time for Sayid to do the sterotypical thing and blow himself up." Seems like there was more to Sayid's character than just being a "stereotypcial Muslim."
You'll get no argument from me on that.

Dude...that's a pretty weak comment. Keep your prejudices to yourself.
I get where you're coming from but he said stereotypical, not typical.
-
You are not getting my point - at all. To simply say that that it is a colloquialism does not mean that it is a correct way to deal with the public. I recall several of them..."A !@#$ in the woodpile" comes to mind.
It is rude and presumptuous. "De nada" has a certain affection to it. "No problem" comes across as dismissive. That it's common usage today is sad.
I feel like LeviF91's avatar here but here goes:
I understand your point Cincy, I just disagree with it. You are upset a colloquial phrase has come to mean what it means, and you choose to take it out on some poor girl who is just trying to tell you she's going to do what you asked of her.

i have heard very little reference to it in most media reports but the SUV was parked right outside the viacom building which owns comedy central

To be unfair, you've cherry-picked one phrase amongst my posts.
I realize that the phrase "No Problem" is common speech.
But understand what it implies. Namely, that the server is saying that "Oh, OK customer - I absolve you - the paying customer, of any feelings you may have about upsetting me."
It is completely backwards. It's rude, presumptuous, and has no place in proper service. A proper response to a request by a customer is "Yes, Sir, or Yes Ma'am, I'll take care of it." Not a flippant "no problem!" utterance.
SIC, it is neither rude nor presumptuous. It is a colloquialism. You getting upset over it is as ridiculous as a radio talk show host getting upset at every caller starting his call with "hey how you doing?". It's just a way to say "Hello". The Spanish answer "thank you" with "de nada" which literally means "it's nothing". That doesn't mean you should say "Did you think it would be something?" It's a way of saying "think nothing of it", nothing more - but I'm sure you know that when you're not purposely taking things too literally.

The size of the “digital universe” will swell so rapidly this year that a new unit - the zettabyte - has been invented to measure it.
Invented?
OK I'm 'inventing" the next bigger: the Yottabyte. It's a thousand times bigger!
(don't mean to crap on your thread Dev, just the quote from the article)

Smokers should have no rights. Zero. Nada. You want to kill yourself? Fine. Do it on your own property until they invent a way to keep your filthy smoke from infiltrating my air.
And while we're at it? Throw your filthy butts in a TRASH CAN, not out your car window or wherever you happen to drop them. It's litter, jackasses.
I'm not dumb enough to do it but I would love to pick it up, throw the lit butt back into their car/lap and say "excuse me, you dropped this".
Back when I drove a convertible, a jackass in front of me threw his butt out the window, which bounced off the road, landed on my back seat and burned a hole in it.

When the topic of what to call soy milk came up, Scotto blurted out, “Soy jisum!"
Scotto's confused co-anchor, Greg Kelly, looked on in disbelief as the banter continued during the live show.
"Rosanna!" Kelly said in a reprimanding tone.
This is not the first time a TV anchor has gotten into hot water for their salty comments.

Bolded the best part

Yikes ... that is shocking. Who would even think to do such a thing?
I don't think it was an electric eel.

This draft showed me he is finally hands off. I thought so with the Gailey hiring, but now that we drafted 'non fan favorites' or 'ticket sellers' I feel he is seeing the light.
Don't walk into the light, Ralph!

I doubt that any star faring race is hurting for resources we have.
What if Silicon is rare, on a universal scale?

OK, I have a delimma. I like hockey and the Sabres, but rarely get to see regular season games. So, I hear all year how good the Sabres are looking. Then the playoffs come and I finally get to see them play. Then they lay eggs like they did today. So, clearly, I know I'm a jinx.
OK. So, I'll stop watching. They'll win. But, what good is it wanting the Sabres to win, if I can never watch them win?
DVR them all and watch the games after we win the cup...?Obviously Schrödinger didn't have TiVo.

Is she a bartender?
She waits tables at a restaurant/pub.

My wife is allowed to drink at work, and she works right here in WNY.

Same reason we like boobies.

Yeah, but....now I'm confused. Daniel introduced himself as Daniel Widmore to Desmond. I thought his name was Daniel Faraday? And we know Widmore is Penny's father.....right?
And "Faraday" is a decent psuedo last name for a physicist.
Faraday did a lot of work with electromagnetism, and the charge on a mole of electrons is called the "Faraday constant"

I, think that, maybe, you should learn, how to, use commas.Did, anyone ever, tell you that, you are a douche-bag?
Murra is a Leaf's fan?Then yes, he has been told.

Watch Lost and DVR Sabres -or- watch Sabres and DVR Lost?

I just see the OP followed by a list of replies. Just started.
The same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. I hadn't been in my settings at all (in fact I had trouble finding them to try changing it back). I ended up fixing it by clearing my browser cache (Google Chrome).

She doesn't stick any floppies in her laptop does she? That's an easy way to get a virus.

Inspiring! Man that dude is a leader.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's only a few notches up from "getting hit in the head by a meteorite from space" - seriously, what are the odds?
If the plane's engine doesn't die and go silent, this doesn't happen. If there's no oil on the windshield this doesn't happen. If the guy isn't wearing his iPod it doesn't happen. If they guy's pace is a bit faster or slower it doesn't happen. Everything had to fall in place just right.
What a tragedy - guy had a family and was probably a good guy - condolences to his family - that's just awful.
If he had been a candidate to take over the Island it doesn't happen.
