OTFPOTD: My Work Internet Is Slow Today Edition

Email
PrintEVERYTHING is dragging today: Youtube won't even load, my LaunchCast has been "Tuning" for about two minutes now, my Google Reader isn't working right. The only site that seems immune is Lookout Landing.
Let's take a breeze around the news, shall we?
Windows has dropped to an 89.6% market share.
NFLPA files grievance on Burress' behalf.
Ripley worried about "cholera" in Alien 3, and now Zimbabwe is having an outbreak.
It's a slow day for news that isn't political, so we'll just leave it at that.

BrianL posted a link for an age of consent website once.
My wife was not amused, coincidentally we had just interviewed our first baby sitter that day. For the next week or two I swear all the porn spam on my computer was for teenage this and underage that. Had to be a coincidence, but still. Made for good times on the home front.
Dang, can't find the link but it was a poorly conducted search.
Early September I think, within a couple of days of when I first started posting. The link title had nothing to with ages of consent, and it was a list of consent laws by state if I remember it correctly.
Holy crap, maybe I'm wrong! Maybe it was really....
NOLA all along! (Dun dun dunnnn)
I don’t think this is the one I was thinking of, this one is a little more technical on the legal references. The one I’m thinking of had ‘age of consent’ in a huge font across the top w/a greenish background. But my memory of the event may also be false.

Back when smoking wasn't banned,
a few years ago I went as support with a buddy to Northgate mall to get an engagement ring for his girlfriend. He was so nervous, we decided to get a couple of drinks at the Red Robin. We were in the bar, and after paying, took off into the mall to visit the jeweler. It wasn’t until halfway through the mall that I realized I was still carrying my lit cigarette. No one even batted an eye, either!

Why the hell
does American Airlines’ website not have a flight tracker? Or, if they have one, why is it so goddamned hard to find? USABILITY IS KEY, PEOPLE.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Yup.
But I’m now righteously indignant that AA’s is completely stupid – I finally found it, it’s on the Travel Info page, so far so good, listed under “gates & times”. Which then requires TWO SCREENS to get arrival/departure info if you don’t know the flight number. BAH. Why can’t you just call “gates & times” “flight tracker” LIKE THE WHOLE REST OF THE GODDAMN INDUSTRY DOES?

Yowza.
The rudeness was one of the things I noticed about AA. When we were checking our bags in PDX we were having trouble with their kiosk check-in system (it said they couldn’t find that we were on the flight, even though we swiped my wife’s card (the card used to purchase the tickets) and our passports) and the agent there more-or-less grabbed our passports out of our hands and took them to his station. Also, the flight attendants were a little on the rude side, too.

My problems with airlines lie less in the problem itself
and more in how aggressive/friendly/upfront they are in resolving it. I’m fairly accepting when it comes to lost/misdirected bags – I carry on 99% of the time anyway – but if my bag IS lost, then goddamit, you’d better have a plan in place to get me my bag back ASAP, and let me know every step of the way where it is, and if costs like these people’s are incurred, they’d better cover ’em.

BrianL I have a question to test your zen mastery of all things internet!
Ok, not that big of a question. But if I hook this new fios system to the existing coax cable in the house, will that slow it down? I had this image of fiber optic line running all the way to the computer. The verizon website is a little ambiguous about this detail.
Imagine ice skating
now imagine getting to the edge of the rink and walking on the carpet in your skates. They both propel you forward, but when you put the speed of ice skates with the slowness of carpet, you’re really wasting the capability of your skates; it seems hooking FiOS to coax would do the same. You probably COULD do it, but why?
Of course, I could be completely wrong about this.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
You could run it over Coax, but I wouldn't.
Run it over Cat5 if at all possible. Actually, insist they run a Cat5 drop to your router.
Cool, I figured it would work. Just didn't want any bottle neck, like pdb was talking about.
Cat5. This is the info I need, sometimes when you don’t know wtf you’re talking about these guys won’t just volunteer it. Especially if it means spending an extra hour running wires and drilling a couple of holes.
You'll be glad you did that.
Verizon will do one free drop to wherever you decide to place your router. If you want to network any other rooms, I believe you can give them more money or you can do it yourself.
If you do decide to do it yourself, Fry’s sells spools of Cat5 relatively cheap.
Doesn't matter because Fios is stupid

I got a new bowling ball through the Internets yesterday.
Ebonite’s “The One.” I already have one in my bag, it’s my favorite piece of equipment and the only ball I’ve shot 300 with (twice). I feel like now that I have a new one I’m somehow cheating on the old one and I need to do something to pay respect to the old ball. I’m thinking about getting the dates of my 300s engraved in it.

I think that's a fine idea.
Why did you replace the old one, was it losing it’s effectiveness?
Man do I love midgets.
I've used it for several years. The ball doesn't quite turn into the pocket like it did fresh out of the box.
And I have big-money tournaments in Vegas at the end of the month and want every edge I can get.

You are a much better bowler than I.
I was just curious if it was getting old, or if something happened to it. My friend baked his ball in the oven to try to “get the oil out of it”, and the core separated from the outer layers. You could hear it clunking as it went down the lane. Needless to say he had to buy a new ball.
Man do I love midgets.
I've done that, but when I do that I watch the ball like a hawk.
Some people prefer using the dishwasher for that. Something else to consider is to just bury your bowling ball into a box of kitty litter.
This is the last year I can bowl the Vegas Christmas Tournaments, because I still count as a junior bowler.

I know that like anything else you can pay almost any amount
but how much is a bowling ball of that caliber usually?
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
At a pro shop? $260 (drilling usually included)
I picked it up off ebay for less than $100, but I expect to pay $40-60 for drilling. It all really depends on how new-to-the-market it is. I almost bought another ball which was cutting-edge probably seven years ago new for $50 (shipping included).

Kitty litter...
I hadn’t ever heard that before. I’ve considered the dishwasher, but the oven scares the hell out of me. I just take it to the pro shop and have them clean it every once in a while.
Man do I love midgets.
I talk to a lot of pro shop guys
and they suggested to me that the pro guy who figured out how to take the oil out of a ball did it like this:
Guy gets home from league, tournament, whatever, and shot a really crappy set. He walks in the door to his place and just chucks his equipment on the floor, into the kitty litter box. He doesn’t touch the ball for a week, remembers where he put it, and goes “wait, what?” when he picks up the ball and there’s these clumps.
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Dec 4, 2008 11:32 AM PST up reply actions
It seems like it would work.
I think I’d cover my finger holes or something first though. Interesting, I might have to try this since I have plenty of kitty litter at home. Just dump out part of the bucket for the cat’s use, then put my ball in the remaining litter.
Man do I love midgets.
Fine idea.
I have that at home as well. I just need to remember to put the lid on the litter so my cats don’t leave me any “gifts” in the bucket.
Man do I love midgets.

Cut the 300's into it, for sure
That or have it plugged and reconditioned, and sell it to recoup some of the cost of the new ball. On another note, it sounds like that “The One” is treating you pretty well, eh? I’m looking at picking up a new ball, and I have always loved Ebonites. What kind of shot do you normally throw? High revs?

I'm actually a pretty straight line player.
I stand in the middle of the lane and shoot at the second arrow, for the most part. I’ve actually got some video of me shooting a year-plus ago. Let me see if I can upload it.
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Dec 4, 2008 11:35 AM PST up reply actions
Sounds a fair bit like me then
I line my left foot up on the second dot from the right, and throw to 7 or 8 board. Not much in the way of revs, but a good clean line to the pocket. I’ve been told by many coaches that I have one of the most fluid and smooth approach and release that they’ve ever seen. Just keeps the ball rolling smoothly straight from release. Sort of a Norm Duke type of shot, if you’ve seen his style enough.

I've developed this little second-step hitch, which is kinda funny.
If I use it right, my timing is pretty damn good and if I have a problem in my shot, it’s my release. The problem is I’m not quite consistent enough to deliver on it week in and week out… but when I do get it, I’m averaging 210+ easy.
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Dec 4, 2008 12:11 PM PST up reply actions
I'm the same
The only good I can take from that is that I always know exactly what was wrong with my shot, so I can correct my mistakes. Of course, I create a new one every time I fix one

Eh stick with Craigslist.
The print classifieds are getting fewer and fewer looks by people looking for vehicles these days.
I heard the Times/PI isn't even going to run daily classifieds anymore.
It will be like Wednesday-Help Wanted, Thursday-Vehicles, Friday-Homes for Sale kind of thing. I haven’t seen the details yet, but I overheard it when they were meeting with our rep from the newspaper. They’re also going to a smaller print format as well.

but that’s one of 2 songs I’ve ever done at karaoke. The other was a Ramones song.
Java Jive karaoke… oh man, that’s good times (and I say this as someone who generally hates karaoke).
I might be willing to pay to see that.

After going through 4 of them, including my original
I felt it necessary to upgrade to the Elite, with its better heat management system. No problems at all anymore. And I will definitely have the game soon so we can muck up some zombos

That's been the PS3's big failure
And I’ve heard that you will always be out of pocket because their warranty is short and shitty
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
As much as people bitch about the 360 hardware issues
at least Microsoft has a good system in place to deal with it. If your PS3 has an issue Sony will just give you the highway salute and steal your wallet.
I've heard of people having to wait several months for their PS3 to come back
And the charge up front for the repairs, so you’re out of your money forever. Microsoft never took more than 2 weeks from start to finish for me, and that includes the 2 times where they actually fixed my console instead of sending a refurb. I also scored a free hard drive and 3 free games because of how often I had to do it

I crushed a few a minute ago and got nearly 16,000
But apparently if you strike out you lose half of your score, which sucks. I’m still experimenting a little though. Been trying to hit the window or flower pot, but no luck yet. The few that I crushed all hit the center of the scoreboard

OK, I must plead ignorance because I don't use many of the features.
But I find it to be a hassle to organize my e-mails and find them later. It also crashes on me all the time, but that might be my work computer’s fault. And I’m running an old version. We have an intraoffice messaging system that I use for most communication.
Yeah, the search functionality is a bit clunky, especially compared to gmail
but Outlook is, at heart, a rules-based mail organizing system; set up your rules right, and it does all the organization and archiving work for you. Takes a bit of front-end work, but I’ve been using it long enough that the rule creating is pretty second nature.

is there any way to turn off Amazon’s recommendation feature? I don’t CARE what they think I’ll like based on what I’ve browsed and bought. I can turn off my browsing history, but I can’t figure out how to turn off the recommendations.

Everyone was supposed to leave at 4:00 for teh company christmas party (which I'm not attending),
I wish they would freakin’ leave already!!
Man do I love midgets.
My company party is on the 12th, at that Hollywood place in Shoreline
I have to go alone because my fiancee won’t be back in town from school yet. If it wasn’t for the free stuff, I probably wouldn’t be going at all
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
We do Christmas lunches there most years.
Last years was at Bucca de Beppo’s instead.
Man do I love midgets.
I'm skipping my company party this year,
even though they were having casino games for prizes and it’s fully catered. I just have too much going on this week, and I didn’t feel like driving out to “Country Village” and getting all dressed up.
Man do I love midgets.
That's what ours is going to be this year, I think
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
Ours hired some company that brings the games out to your party site.
Then I guess they give you chips to gamble with, and at the end you can use them to “buy” prizes or something. I dunno. I just didn’t feel like dealing with it this year, I already have to attend Jeanuts’ company party next week, and I figured that’s enough.
Man do I love midgets.
You're ruining Christmas, you bastard.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
That's me.
New Year’s is next when I decide to stay home with friends instead of going out (actually that is a tradition for me).
Man do I love midgets.
Yeah, my group usually does a party.
I don’t do amateur nights.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
I normally don't either
but the Supersuckers are playing at Dante’s new years eve here, and they’re playing both rock AND country sets. Should be fun.

Somewhere, someplace, somebody has a team with a GM that needs more Willie. I’d rather watch my team fail with him playing his ass off than watch it fail with Yuni floundering around the infield.

FWIW, I went to bat to make sure I picked up the wireless router from verizon.
The tech guy doing the installation informed me it’s standard, the gal on the phone was just trying to up-sell me something I was already going to get. However, he also convinced me that the coax cable the house is wired with is faster than CAT-V.
He was convincing, plus I had some kid things going on at the moment and didn’t want to argue about it. Especially since I don’t have a clue about the specs so I had nothing to fall back on.
I know I know, you told me. I approached it all wrong, showed weakness.
He chunked a bunch of techno babble at me and I caved. Could have had the wiring as part of the install price, now I have to pay for it and do it myself. Argh.
Honestly I'd give Verizon a call and tell them the tech pushed you to an option that wasn't right for you.
Play ignorant and pin it on the tech.
You're an evil genius.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Let's be honest here
They want you to go with coax because it’s easier for them.
This is true.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
I knew that was going to happen too. The house is wired already.
I think I may have mentioned that this morning when I asked you about it. I should have printed off some specs so I could fall back on some hard data instead of just looking at him like a deer in the headlights. Fuck fuckity fuck, I hate it when I do stuff like that.
This situation is like when the cell companies try and charge you upgrade and activation fees
You just call up customer service when you get your bill and threaten their lives until the waive it for you. After a while they just stop putting it on your account
I'm not that wrapped up about it, except the part where I knuckled under.
Honestly I’ve been teasing toothekazoo about the speed and everything, when really I dumped Comcast because they moved half the playoff games to TBS. Which isn’t part of the basic cable package and it really pissed me off. Like throwing shit pissed me off. The bandwidth upgrade is nice, but for my usage it’s kind of a waste.

Here you go with the innocent pets again.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Just like I said on the phone, you lucky so and so.

Basically anything but Vizio and you're OK, nowadays.
And maybe LG/Phillips, because they never got on the boat.

Value is one thing.
Quality is another.
Isn’t that a good part of what we talk about here?

They really aren't that bad for the price,
But I would be prefer spending the extra $200 or so and getting the better quality set

Make sure to get the 3600 dollar cables.
I hear you can get them half price for 1800 somewhere.

+/- is an absolutely terrible stat, so don't use it, and don't give up on young players before they turn 24.

She'll be fine, I'm sending those too.

If you can get 1gbps cables from there, I'd say go for it.

Yuck
Plasmas are overrated. You get the same picture from a LCD now, 98% of the contrast.
Cheaper price, longer lasting components. Nothing about plasmas are worth it anymore.

Correct
I was never a fan of Plasmas anyhow, and lately things have gotten to a point where there is very little incentive, especially to the average consumer

Isn't everything better in Anamorphic Duovision?
I need to study up on photoshop or an equivalent like now. As in yesterday.
Correction.
VERY good TV. And other stuff.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Goodnight, beautiful people.

This movie looks to be one of the best ever created
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
Ah said GAWDAMN BROTHA! And filmed in Anamorphic Duovision!
I love movies like this, instant classic

Though I can’t get the first to play
Can ya dig it?

Holy crap this is the most quotable shit since I can't remember when!
Aahahahahaha! I think I’m having a seizure! “60 thousand volts of Black Power!” Ahahahahaha!
I like in the first trailer where Black Dynamite threatens to beat the kid if he doesn't give up the drugs
And then the kid’s mom says (paraphrasing) “we tried that already and it didn’t work”

Brilliant! (and the red band trailer too).
He drives the best cars, because second best was never an option! He carries two guns, one to start trouble- the other to finish it!
I’m almost afraid to see the movie, the trailers are so perfect I just want it to stay that way.
I am excited for tommarrow's Celtics/Blazer game
See how well we stack up against one of the three elite teams in the league. Also, less then 3 Roy.
