Interestingly, it rivals Britannica in terms of average accuracy per article. QFT

Gaeta made his choice, and he knew the consequences of his actions. I guess at the end he at least felt some relief from his chronic leg pain. Good ending to a decent mini story arc. Now we can get down to the nitty gritty! And yes, Starbuck has been totally gangsta these past couple of episodes.

It looked like great fun on TV (apart from the cold - I hope you wrapped up warm). How far away were you from the event itself? We positioned ourselves at the base of the Washington Monument, facing the Capitol. Facing two big screens and awesome views of the almost 2 million people squeezed onto The Mall. It was, cold, and we got there at 9am so we waited 3 hours in the cold, but we all wrapped up warmly. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and a positive vibe.

As I said in the other thread. I was lucky enough to be in attendance at the inauguration. It was once in a lifetime experience.

Terrific writing and acting.

TONIGHT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END, BITCHES!

I liked FEAR well enough. I'm always down for a good FPS romp, and since Bioshock was my last one, I'm itching for another.

So I've been burning and copying lots of videos, mostly from wedding events, to dvd. When the movie finishes burning, I test it out, but the play back is jumpy and glitchy. I tested another DVD and the playback was the same, but when using another DVD player, the playback was fine on both the regular dvd and the burned DVD. IN SHORT, my DVD drive can burn disks without problem, but reading them and playing videos seems to have problems. A sign it is dying?

That's for sure.

Jesus, Bethesda. All this time for a patch and they did not fix the major stability issues. On top of it all, they added a glitch where mouse acceleration is out of control in menu/pipboy screens. Of all the things listed in the patch notes, NONE of them affected me. NONE.

Yeah. A beta OS from Microsoft....that's what I'm looking for. But hey, at least you don't have to pay for this one like Vista.

Why not just load the autosave from right before you exit the vault? And there are way more than just item and cosmetic mods.

Mister Crowley, What went on in your head? Oh, Mister Crowley, Did you talk to the dead? Your life style to me seemed so tragic With the thrill of it all You fooled all the people with magic Yeah, you waited on satan's door Mr. Charming, Did you think you were pure? Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport Uncovering things that were sacred Manifest on this Earth Conceived in the eye of a secret And they scattered the afterbirth Mr. Crowley, Won't you ride my white horse? Mr. Crowley, It's symbolic, of course Approaching a time that is classic I hear that maiden's call Approaching a time that is drastic Standing with their backs to the wall Was it polemically sent l want to know what you meant I want to know, I want to know what you meant. Yeah!!!

Eggcellent. Still trying to figure out what "Race for the Prize" is supposed to be about. for me currently listening to: The Sounds - "Painted by Numbers"

True, but more often than not, the information in wikis are cited for sources. There is usually a large banner at the top if the information is properly cited.

Got damn. I googled 'googol' and was reading about mindboggling things I never knew existed for over an hour. I feel both smarter and dumber at the same time.

I don't think this is really necessary. All you would do is confuse the masses. They are two separate actions, and telling someone to simply "move" something would lead to lots of blank looks. Otherwise you'd thing with copy and paste...granted, it would be easier to cup up with a word like "copaste." Cut n' paste is probably the best you could hope for.

Dayman! UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Champion of the Sun. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Master of karate and friendship for everyone! Best and funniest show on TV. Charlie being the best character.

So Do any of you make your Christmas gifts for others, or do you all primarily buy everything? I ask because I just got done making 12 pounds of fudge, including peanut butter, chocolate, and white chocolate.

Yeah, but he makes up for it in grit and intensity. Add to my list: Data from ST:TNG

Charley from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This is a slept-on show and the funniest thing on television right now (just finished their 4th season). Six (the Cylon) from Battlestar Galactica!

James Wannerton (right), an IT contractor from Blackpool, has synaesthesia, a condition which means two senses are stimulated at once. For James, 49, hearing or seeing words stimulates his sense of taste. He says: 'When I hear a word, I actually taste it. Some words taste really nice and some really unpleasant. It's something I can't switch it off. I even dream with the sense of taste strong in my mouth. 'It can be quite distracting, like having ringing in your ears. I've always had it - one of my earliest memories is saying The Lord's Prayer during assemblies when I was four or five and getting loads of different tastes, such as bacon, entering my mouth. 'When I was younger, I would pick my friends on the basis of the way their names tasted. 'For example. I would like people called Robert because the name tasted like strawberry jam sandwiches, whereas the name Gordon made me taste dirt. 'Until my teens, I presumed everyone was the same as me. It was only when I started opening up to girlfriends that I realised I was a bit different. 'In my late teens, my mum admitted she had a far less invasive version than mine. However, she seemed to be really embarrassed talking about it, so I just dropped the subject and I presumed it was just a family trait. 'It wasn't until the mid-Nineties while holidaying in America, that I saw a TV documentary about people like me realised I had a medical condition. 'I then found out about some into synaesthesia at the Maudsley Hospital in London and contacted them ten years ago. 'A brain scan showed that the area processing taste lit up not only when I ate something, as it does for everyone, but also unusually, when I heard words and word sounds. 'When I was at university I found it quite hard to concentrate as the words of lecturers would flood my mouth with flavours. 'That's why I choose to work in information technology, a quiet profession which does not require me to talk or interact much with other people. 'This condition has also affected the types of women I go out with. 'Whereas Barbara or Helen are nice juicy flavours to me, a friend married a women whose name, Colleen, makes me nauseous. I find it hard to say or hear her name as a result. 'Food names don't necessarily bring the taste of the food. For example, the word oyster triggers the taste of chocolate. 'I have actually stopped eating out with other people because their conversation creates so many different tastes in my mouth that it ruins my enjoyment of the food. 'Sometimes my synaesthesia has proved useful - at school it helped me memorise things because I could remember flavours. 'A good example would be the kings and queens of England which were a list of tastes. 'I wouldn't want to be without synaesthesia, but I would like to be without it briefly, so I could understand what other people's lives are like. I imagine it wouldn't be as interesting.'
