  1. I'm just trying to think of what Walmart sells that I want for free.
  2. Isn't that a bit much?
  3. I'm confused why lacking voice recognition is a downfall for you guys. I'm not arguing, just maybe need some clarification. Isn't voice recognition a fairly "old" technology? I mean, I remember Dragon Naturally Speaking was pretty accurate 5+ years ago. And that program cost $99 or so. I have an iphone app that can dictate what I say that costs $.99 this year. It's "fairly" accurate. I would think for a couple grand (and I'm guessing IBM spent hundreds of thousands if not millions on this project) they could get a dynamite voice recognition system. Since all players have to wait to buzz in until Alex is done reading, is this really an issue? Maybe someone can correct me here.
  4. The score is $5000, $5000, $2000 currently (computer tied at $5000). Its going to take 3 shows to complete the game as there's background info they show. What amazed me is how it "knows" what the clue is even looking for. Sure, there are key words, but it could be SO MANY possibilities if you just look at the words. Anyway, take a look.
  5. This was one of the coolest half hours of TV I've seen in a long, long time. The computer, Watson, is not connected to the internet. He gets the clues via text document sent to him. To see a minor explanation of how he deciphers the words, and figures out WHAT is being asked for, was pretty incredible. If you can HULU tonight's episode, or if you're on the west coast and it hasn't come on yet, I'd highly recommend it. One part shows the "progression" of Watson, in a practice session where a clue was asking for a "non dairy creamer" and watson said "Milk" Then they showed how he could take a question similar and really "figure out" what the clue was getting at. Cool, and terrifying all at once.
  6. I'm drinking a pint of Arrogant Bastard. I should have known a beer named after me would be just fantastic.
  7. 6'6 245. Want to lose 15 pounds. Like great food more than I care about losing that 15 pounds, so !@#$ it.
  8. I've always wondered why the word "coed" refers to females at a school. The word coed means, if I'm not mistaken, something containing (or an institution serving, or a sport involving, etc) both men and women. Why is it that the women are the "coeds". I'm not worried about it, I'm not making a political/gender related point, I'm just curious. Carry on.
  9. I must be a giant p---y, cause after watching that video, I think that mother should be locked up.
  10. I'm honestly SHOCKED it took this long. Blatant copyright infringement. They almost celebrated it. Here we go... Yeah, it's TERRIBLE of the government to crack down on those who openly steal intellectual property. Land of the Free? I hear flights to Egypt are real cheap if you're so upset.
  11. wanted nothing more than to stop the 'nightmare' but he continued because he had been given a job to finish bull ****. This guy is worthless.

  13. I'm writing up the lawsuit for $1 gazillion against him for starring in the movie Get Him to the Greek. Is the bad grammar from a direct quote of hers?
  14. I knew my Egyptian girlfriend wasn't just ignoring me
  15. 20 years ago today, Marv Levy got completed dominated as an NFL head coach.
  16. I watched every game, and honest to God don't see how he's higher than an F. What the hell did he do? Seriously? Then I read your reply and CAN see how he was graded higher than F. Data, it gets me every time. OK, C+ is fair
  17. This. (or should I say "These")
  18. He's having an off game so far, but no, no he doesn't make Poz look all world.
  19. I really enjoy comedies. Rented "Dinner for Scmhucks". Almost turned it off halfway through.. Any good suggestions?
  20. I just had FIOS installed and tipped the guy. I tip everyone, but this guy in particular had to run the cable line completely across my living room as the setup i wanted required having the TV at the opposite end of the cable outlet. When he was done, you couldn't see a piece of cable at all (he hid them in the baseboards). Went above and beyond, and I gave him $20 because the work he did was WELL worth $20 vs the time and hassle that would have taken me. Had he not done that, I would have still given him $5. I tip everyone, probably to a fault.
  21. ... with it's hands up to its face... Not sure why things like this make me sad. I like animals far more than I like most people. Poor little guy.
  22. Seems a marriage, a divorce, getting into my 30's and 20mg of Lexapro daily have made my posts less fun.
