[quote name='s1eepinglionhart']Uh oh. A remodeled Wii already?[/QUOTE]

Old news. This has kinda been known for a while. The general thought is that it'll launch in October/November, coinciding with the inevitable different colors.

Not saying I like it, but bleh.

There's a small chance the current Wii only needs a software upgrade to read DVDs, since those are what the current media is based on, meaning a decoder might be all you need.

Not holding my breath though.

I have been there, to that exact spot, and time does indeed stand still.

Well below average. Wtf is wrong with your city?
 
[quote name='Sleepkyng']there's only one starbucks in my town![/QUOTE]

Then that's not really a town, it's a communist regime and terrorist training camp.

How DARE you, sir.

Wag of the finger.
 
[quote name='Strell']Well below average. Wtf is wrong with your city?[/QUOTE] That entire 7.7 miles is spent on one street. I just did a search, and there are 31 Starbucks within 20 miles of my house. :lol:

Also, two of those three are literally across the street from one another, but one of them is inside of a Target.

N*Sync is joined by Aerosmith. THESE ARE TWO BANDS THAT SHOULDN'T BE IN THE SAME STATE AT THE SAME TIME!
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Is there a way to make those a standard that you can't work around, so there's no need to get y'all involved to begin with?[/QUOTE]

I'd bet yes, but it'd be up to Cheapy to implement anything like that.

[quote name='Maklershed']Could Pookymeister's "Pookymeister is hot" sig possibly be acceptable based on those guidelines? His sig fucks up my display of a page everytime he comments in a thread.[/QUOTE]

As you can see there is no official limit for sig width... I'd be a lot more draconian with the limits, but not my site. Anything over 700px wide is getting into silly territory IMO and really less than that should easily suffice.

Pooky's is too large (KB) actually. I'll PM him about it.
 
[quote name='wubb']I'd bet yes, but it'd be up to Cheapy to implement anything like that. [/quote]

If he won't respond to PMs, who knows if he'll respond to an issue like this? :/

I think I live in the only town where the local shops actually have more stores than Starbucks. but that one starbucks probably does the same amount of business as those shops combined since it's closer to campus.
 
UW Madison, right? How 'bout them Marsupials* FTL!

It's a decent school, for an oversized public university. I wouldn't go there, but of course, father wouldn't even let me consider it.



(I'm not sure if Madison is the Marsupials or not - but you should be).

I've never been to Madison, but it's the "Berkeley of the Midwest," so having lotsa small shops doesn't surprise me. Bet you have great restaurants and record stores, too.

It's atrociously gigantic.

And your avatar is almost arousing.
 
Oh my god.

There was about four people in my English class right now, trying to defend how the words "drastic" and "Jurassic" could be used in interchangeably in the term, "Don't take drastic measures." One guy explained how he really liked the line and he wondered why he had not used it before. I hate college.

Actually, looking at it now, I think it might be smaller. I think a mod resized it or something. Oh well, I guess I'll change it to something different and smaller soon. Anyway, mods, is this the case? Was it changed?

Edit: On second thought, I may be imagining things.

The teacher was telling us to be careful when using Word's spell check. He explained how a student of his misspelled drastic and the first suggestion was Jurassic. He clicked it without reading it carefully. The teacher was just trying to show us a funny example, and people actually asked, "What's wrong with that?" :wall:

"It's a time period."


"So?"

Yeah college sucks. I had some kid next to me shout out an answer to a question and he said to me "You never think I'm right." to which I replied, "Because you rarely are." He didn't think it was funny, but most everyone else did.

It's not just college students; listening to NPR this morning, I overheard Carl Castle (the news guy!) refer to David Geffen as "dissing" Hillary Clinton. A moment later, the word "swift boat" showed up as a fucking verb.

Most ironic, the last segment of today's Fresh Air, right before Castle came on, was an interview with a writer named Ben Yagoda, about his new book: http://www.amazon.com/When-You-Catc...ef=sr_1_1/105-8409254-9346855?ie=UTF8&s=books
 
Does anybody know what's up with the polls?

Why don't they show you the results after you vote, and why isn't there a, "View Results," button anymore if you haven't voted yet?

Polls won't show results cause of the Cheapy Awards voting.

When they are finished, I'm sure things will return to normal.

If you're talking about the Cheapy awards, those poll results are hidden until the voting's closed and the winners announced.

I remember someone asked a similar question before, pertaining to all polls however, as if a site wide change had been made for the duration of the cheapy awards voting.

All signs seemed to point to yes. So I just relayed what I though I read to GwG up there.
