“Since Misterjt aka Jason Toney started it -- Biggie or Tupac and most importantly, why?”
2 minutes ago - via IM - Link
Tupac all the way. Better rhymes, better poet. Just Tupac. Westside for life. - Monique via IM
Biggie. Sorry, Mo. I like 'Pac well enough, but too schizophrenic and crazy for me. Biggie was the better rhymer. Tupac seemed to like to "play" rapper. Yeah, I said it what? I'm gonna go listen to Rakim, anyway. - Derrick
I don't understand what you guys mean by schizophrenic and crazy. Can you elaborate? - Monique via IM

"James Gillies, a spokesman for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known as CERN), said in an e-mail to Computerworld today that officials are still working on a plan of action -- and a budget -- for repairing the Large Hadron Collider. So far, he added, it appears that it will cost $21 million or more to get the collider operational again." - Mo Kargas via Bookmarklet

“By the way, today is $2 day at Popeye's chicken. Go Get It!!!”
1 hour ago - via IM - Link
The fact that I knew that is down right frightening. - Derrick
omg . . . is this everywhere? I lurves me some Popeye's - Lindsey
Lindsey I believe it is everywhere. - Monique via IM
All the Popeye's around me are now Louisiana Fried Chicken Shrimp and Donuts. :( - Anika Malone
Thanks for the reminder! It's Popeye's tonight! - Roger Benningfield
It should be Popeye's tonight for everyone. We should make it a friendfeed requirement for everyone except Akiva and Rochelle for obvious reasons. - Monique via IM
Not sure if there's one left in town. Plus, the only chicken I ever bother with is buffalo wings :) - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
Popeye's has wings - Monique via IM
What's $2? - Haggis (Sean)
2 pieces for $2. It's like a 2 piece meal for $2 every tuesday. - Monique via IM
Nearest Popeye's is 20+ miles away. Besides, Popeye's in AZ is nothing at all like Popeye's in Mississippi or even better, Popeye's in Louisiana. Mmmmm.... dirty rice. Mmmmmmm... spicy fried chicken. Mmmmmmm... red beans and rice. Oh man. *droooooooooool* - Tad, Fool
We need to get Tad and Lindsay up on some liquor and good eatin', PRONTO. - Derrick
Mmmm... contemplating spicy chicken with a side of jambalaya. - Roger Benningfield
Confession: I bought wings tonight and put Hooters sauce on them. Got one in hand, now. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

"TiVo becomes the latest Silicon Valley company to resort to laying employees off as it “manages through the challenges presented by a difficult economic climate,” as well as what it, perhaps euphemistically refers to as “a rapidly evolving retail consumer market.” Perhaps “devolving” would be the more appropriate verb choice. Or does TiVo know something about other changes in consumer habits, in addition to the evidently growing consumer fad of, well, consuming less." - Chris White
I love snark. - Chris White
Do layoffs mean you maybe hired more full-timers than you should have? Perhaps the time is right for us all to become consultants. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Don't they need someone to deliver pizzas? - Mona N.
Daniel: TiVo's headcount has remained pretty steady over time. There are a lot of companies more deserving of the 'you hired too quickly and now you pay the price' snark than TiVo is. This is a sad day for TiVo and many of my friends who work there. - Kevin Fox
I ♡ TiVo. We have two, including a Series 1 and an HD. They pioneered this market and should have gotten much bigger than they have. Great product. - Louis Gray
Louis, I feel the same way. There are just a handful of products / services that are in the same class as TiVo in my book. - Mike Doeff
The problem TiVo ran into (and WebTV also) was that the cable/satellite companies control everything. Once they partnered with companies with better UIs, they created internal projects to build their own DVRs, and then ended the partnerships. Getting a box from your provider became the default compared to getting a 3rd party product. It's an unfortunate reality of business that there are strategic issues beyond user experience that determine success. It's the primary reason we haven't seen an Apple DVR. - Chris White
But we have seen an Apple phone, and arguably the situation is pretty similar there. - ⓞnor
@nor, Apple negotiated a great deal with AT&T, as far as wireless contracts go, but they still had to sign a 5-year exclusive. The cable market in particular is different because it's regional, which just becomes a huge convoluted mess. Better luck will probably come from using broadband than trying to navigate the cable twisty passages. - Chris White
@nor: By that analogy, is Android the generic mobile provider's alternative? - Kevin Fox
Tivo made it impossible for me to cancel my account with them a few years back (no option on their website, even though I had added by cc# there, and an intolerably long wait on the phone). My credit card was about to expire, so I figured it wasn't a problem (just a few extra months of billing), but then they continued to charge me even after the card expired (the new card had the same number with a different expiration date). Anyway, I don't feel too sorry for them, and I don't plan to buy from them ever again. - Paul Buchheit
Paul, the credit card companies are funny about these recurring charges. Even after I've changed numbers on the same account for fraud reasons, I've continued to get recurring charges from some companies. Luckily I've never had a problem with TiVo because I bought out the contract and then gave it away to someone. - Chris White

“Idea: Experienced players should offer guided tours of Call of Duty levels, introducing newer players to common tactics, killzones, and advanced strategies. I could totally see players paypal-ing $5 for an hour session in a private game room with 10 other students, while a drill sergeant runs folks...”

...through sniping exercises and claymore-avoidance skills. - Kevin Fox
Anyone know if this kind of thing already exists? With 90,000 players on Call of Duty at any given time, this seems like a worthwhile market for building a team of instructors. - Kevin Fox
I gotta get back into that game -- it was awesome - Shey
wow that's so nerdy. it could help though. i used to get frustrated as hell always getting shot down on cod 4 all the time when i first began - Cee Bee
But if there was this, there wouldn't be any more n00bs for the experienced players to pwn. - Wizetux
Nice to see that *something* exists in this space, though group instruction would still be awesome, and seriously: a short in-game video of them coaching would instil a *lot* more confidence than the cheezy self-portrait thumbnails. - Kevin Fox
$5? I'd probably pay that for certain games. Especially CoD4. - Cyrus Lendvay

Owner of a yarn/book store, although I'm content being what I am currently. - Jill, Superhero Librarian

Be Tina Turner. - Helen Sventitsky
I'm already partly doing it. Software development. I'd just prefer it be with music or multimedia rather than business application. - ·[▪_▪]·

Stationery Tetster. Or librarian. - Bec Rowe
I would write world class software on a creative and fun team that actually followed a methodology. Don't care what kind of software (as long as it's not for the military) either. Would like to work from home 3 days a week and get to go to at least 1 development oriented technical conference each year. It seems like that wouldn't be too hard, but jobs like that are few and far between here in Phoenix. - Tad, Fool
