Was she topless, or was the driver, having overheard her comment, just staring and thinking 'what a be-yotch'? Teslas blow, will be out of production in a few years, or whenever the billionaire douch who founded paypal decides to stop funding the money losing venture. Though not practical, did...

Well I expect next week we'll hear about how you've gone into escrow already, and if you lose your job next year, we'll hear about how you're having to sell your new home...at a loss. Maybe you should *plan* well *ahead* of big, long-term financial obligations? Just a thought. Keep track of...

Lol, jtr's score is *way* higher than my mediocre scores. But hey, I came from grade inflation era, and back then you only needed a 3.5 GPA, and I was @3.75. So in my application to UCLA, I refused to write the 'personal' paragraph (had to take remedial English, ie English 4 dummies :) in...

Well unless you custom ordered one of the high-end screens from Dell, laptop screens don't have accurate color to begin with, even the best pale in comparison to the purpose designed ($$$) desktop models.

After much consultation with the woman that works in the shoe dept @REI, I was about to try on a pair of Vasque Breeze GTX's, but the store was closing. She told me how there is nearly a full lenght shank, that should protect my forefoot area (after she questioned me, 'what, are you using...

Chevrolet Volt should get 230 mpg in city, GM says http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-volt12-2009aug12,0,4416022.story and that's the rub, the competitors may match or exceed the Volt, and then were will GM's sales come from? Competition is good though, all of these hybrids are still way...

All Merc's fault :p Tough times in the porn industry The business, centered in the San Fernando Valley, is being undercut by a growing abundance of free content on the Internet. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ct-porn10-2009aug10,0,862386,full.story damn, 350 movies and...

Well which ones do you think are interesting? Post them up or link them. Euphemism> 'exceptional' = amateurish? I see poor composition as well as poor technique...what'd ya expect from a beginner, how she got a choice position as a lead photog, or personal photog for an individual writer is...

critique from the advanced level photogs here? I did not realize this restaurant critic had his own personal, 'pro' assigned to take pictures for him, of him...damn, how does one get such a job in such a tight market, newspaperwise? So what do you think? To me just the examples I'm linking are...

with 512GB SSD's currently insanely expensive compared to slower HD tech, can't be better news than this...except they need to hurry up, and lower prices *more*: Intel, Micron Achieve Industry's Most Efficient NAND Product Using 3-Bit-Per-Cell Technology...

Futuremark Interview: IE8 is Slowest Browser, Macs Faster than PCs in Browser Tests . . ....hmm, seems like there isn't much difference when comparing nearly identical hardware configurations. funny the president uses opera beta software, because he like the features best? I h8...

jtr recommended that more than 2x cost 8-cell Maha charger. I suppose the internal construction maybe higher quality, but damn, that's a friggin expensive charger for the simplicity. So for a 'universal' charger, one that charges aaa, aa, c, d & 9v batteries, for my parents...and possibly...

When did you do the Anapurna Trail, what age? How many weeks total?...that's a lot of miles, at some high-altitudes! 'thanks guys, while I read some of your advice, I went to Fry's and bought something else on an impulse' (j/k) ...more later. :D Can't recommend more highly anyone get a...

Examples of file size png vs jpg? If you use PS, then limit jpg compression to 50 setting and you'll avoid the dreaded jaggies when doing text input overlaying. Yes, Handy can specify any file or pixel size limitation he wants: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/attachment_manager Can...

:elephant::errr::dwarf: a decade ago, Michael Dell said he'd sell off Apple...what a douchebag. Now Dell is in the dumps and Apple rulz! If you bought when Apple's stock dropped to <$80, you'd be swimming in riches today, as the stock is trading @>$160, doing better than just about any PC...

:joker::owneddnce::alien::geek::queen::confused: Wha...did I forget to add some text to my post above? I thought it was ok *not* to be overly <140 char Twitteriffic™. Doesn't it answer the OP, with absolute minimal text (ie. no text other than link and CnP of relevant info) no additional...

Since more than a decade ago, lol. Mainly the 'hit' shows started coming out, and fans waited in anticipation to by the DVD from the last season they had just watched. Shows that had music as part of them...like Dawson's Creek (which also spawned 2 music CD's from the show, IIRC). If you don't...

shipping in volume? But I can't find them anywhere yet. Given the Portege R600 laptop premium is $1400, don't think well see much of a price break on these for a good long time :( Solid-state rivalry sizzles: Toshiba ships 512GB SSD http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10303815-64.html

And coming in last place, 3rd is now Hitachi...announced, not shipping. 5 platters, that's a lot! http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/?epi_menuItemID=b5bc67ba7b48099056fb11f0aac4f0a0&epi_menuID=88209297e0b10f8056fb11f0aac4f0a0&epi_baseMenuID=3d0cb215112b6934ab937c27aac4f0a0

See there, I've already qualified it more than most of you. Not like I said, I need a good computer (netbook? :D), what should I buy?:rofl: I don't like hot feet! I want durable, value for the $$$. I had been wearing for years New Balance 999's (upside down it's Satan, so they retired that...

I don't understand Merc, have you never explored...seriously, moving to another city/state then? You say there's no decent pizza, and now there's supposedly no decent women...why the hell do you torture yourself and stay? LM comment reminds me, I should have, maybe I haven't been looking...

No, that's a very poor semantic argument. In order to be the winning bidder, you *have* to bid the highest...duh. You *need* to bid the highest in order to be the winning bidder. You *cannot* be successful by "want"ing to be the highest bidder, you must *be* the highest bidder.... again, d'oh...

Umm, apparently Handy has never seen the 'older' versions of these...the 'bigger they are, the harder they fall'... or should I say the farther they sag? On Lee Hyori those things look great, posted a few images here and T(im)wit(ter) objected vociferously, saying he'd get in trouble at work...

You did not qualify that. Man tits (yeah, do a search, they seem to be growing more and more :p, and I'll bet those overweight fatty issues will result in more deaths for men from breast cancer), saggy/droopy, or best of the best? Yes, you will get tired. Say you've got a SO, she's walking...

:rotfl: .... > As a lawyer, can you back up your "opinion" with some Ps & As? Wonder what Google CEO & current Apple Board member Eric Schmidt is going to publicly say :D Given Apple's secrecy about Steve Job's serious health problems/liver transplant, with an SEC investigation pending, I would...

Which controller, which SSD, which OS...all are important, IIRC from reading on ...can't remember? Is that a reference to the older JMicron controllers? Be more specific or it's not a useful comment. As the anandtech article pointed out, OCZ uses both indilinx and samsung controllers (depends...

Seeking comeback, Silicon Valley workers offer to work for no pay http://www.sacbee.com/topstories/story/2056443.html A lot of people with years of experience out of work, economy not recovering fast enough *edit* ...oops, was supposed to post in SR thread "(

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: http://www.amazon.com/Gitzo-GT1541T-6X-G-Lock-Traveler/dp/B0019QZPGS/ref=dp_cp_ob_p_title_0 These people should give me some of the drugs they are taking if they think this is a 'sturdy' & 'stable' pod...meeB U can use it as a substitute pole 4 vaulting, lol, that's...

meebe u should ask dd if he can see the 'painfully' obvious. I can't even read the red "Rebel", microscopic red blotch is more like it...wait til you need reading glasses SD, then we'll laugh our asses off at U :D. Wait till you live as long as my mother with cataracts in both eyes, 20/40 in...

Too bad none of these web based sniping services work on anything other than ebay and a few other auction sites. Would be nice if they worked for any url you enter...then I might win some wines @online auctions. Only problem is now many an auction site uses extended 2min or 5min bidding from the...

Ok, long story short (as short as I can make it without the usual 'vetting' posts :P )...noticed this guy, he's a writer/freelance toting his new D3 (he had a D2H or something). I see him all the time at the local farmers mkts, and I commented on his new D3. He thanks me for noticing. Later as I...

IIRC LM mentioned he wasn't a pro??? I don't see a film SLR, unless you're referring to the RH backrow, with the angular pentaprism housing...though I can't see a rewind spindle, so figured it's just a early model dSLR? I see the red of the Rebel emblem on the backrow LH side, maybe a 5D in...

You mean an UL cert power strip/power bar? Don't trust a Chinese made one, without a UL cert, will burn down your residence? :p Google is your friend :D; probably should add laptop/notebook as a keyword if you want compact/lightweight http://www.shopwiki.com/Travel+Surge+Protector+-+220+Volts

The IntelR IOP341 in the areca card is only 800Mhz, go for higher quality and support with Adaptec & IOP348's increased bandwidth for that kind of $$$$ money drooling :p http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=604097 mistype, think the poster in this thread meant 1GB/s, not 1000Mb/s

Nothing. Or did you insinuate via insulting inuendo that some of us are lazy minded individuals in a 'veg' state of mind, disposition? I'm trying to cut out more fats in my diet, so I can lose some more weight- eat more fruits and vegetables...avocados are not where it's at "( Didn't see anyone...

What's wrong with a TS-E 90? If you need more reach, compromise would be to use a teleconverter. TS-E 90 would be sharper than almost any macro lens as it's one of the sharpest in the Canon line, plus you get that DOF control unobtainable (at least not very high IQ, with a macro when you run...

Hmm, then the top of the trees must have been nearly 50ft. I seriously doubt that antenna is engineered for the weight of 2 people. Needs guy wires, a strong wind could have made it collapse from the weight of 2 people on it- especially someone might weight :D. Apple's mkt cap is now ahead of...

They had this popular TV show in the UK, about a guy who goes around foraging for vegetables and other items along side the roadways of the UK, also dead animals to cook up and eat... 'Roadkill chef' or something like that. You are a 100% vegan (no dairy or fish/shellfish) then LM, did not...

If you use FF as your browser, I believe Merc mentioned FoxyProxy b4, it's a plugin for FF. IIRC, tor has some vulnerability or compromises, but you'd have to search/read up on that.

Ok, so say I wanted to visit Tokyo for a week to eat at a Michelin 3*/similar high-end sushi restaurant/blowfish. Right now, air fares could not be cheaper (not right this week mind you, it's tropical rainy season in that area, hot N humid-yuck) with worldwide recession. I can get a direct...
