Am I the only person to just notice a hands-free hand sanitizer dispenser today on campus? Boss.

A buddy of mine mentioned the Atari line from "Fuck You" was removed from the album version. I told him it was in the MP3 album version I grabbed from Amazon a few days ago. As it turns out, he was listening to the version NPR had available for streaming. A Google search for "Fuck You" NPR Atari finds at least one other person mentioning the difference, but not the why. Seemed like the right sort of query for this thread.

Umm, don't know how modern you'd consider 1999 but, maybe The Black Flower album by the band Diabolique might be right up your alley

So I'm working on a little site that I'll be using to host some of my writing as a sort of portfolio. The problem I'm encountering is that some of the images I'm saving in Photoshop as JPEGs are sometimes in excess of 1mb each for a 760x200 image, for instance. And that's on medium compression settings. What is recommended image format for highest quality for lowest size? It's not going to be an image rich site but I'm worried that files of that size might be excessive. Help?

When I'm at the gas station and pay for $20 worth of gas, why does it only automatically put in $19.58 (or thereabouts?)? For the last few cents I have to manually hold down the handle.
It's not because my tank is full (today, for example, the E light was on), and it's really no big deal, but it always irks me when it happens. Just put the entire thing in!

Wait, are you asking what that line means? I'm a little confused when you ask what the "period" means. In any case, the line is basically asking, "did you wish/yearn for summertime when you were growing up?"
If you're asking about something else, then forgive my misunderstanding.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark that when you were young, summer was your time of freedom away from the responsibility of school.
So, the question is "Did you long for summertime when you were growing up?"
Meaning:
Were you excited for Summer when you were young?

People are too busy watching real sports.

Speaking of which. I'm in the right spot for this I think:
Why are sports a part of news?
I would submit that sports are not news, they are entertainment. They don't belong in the news, or at least not as a separate equal segment in nightly newscasts, and more probably as a subsection of the entertainment section where it belongs. It's not like there is any shortage of sources for finding out that information; there are entire channels and countless feeds in dozens of formats, so why include it with things that actually happened (as opposed to, were played and/or watched)?

Fish it out and if you throw up, then you throw up. The bone will likely be gone anyway after a good puke. Or tweezers.effingvic said:

It's a tradition. And it makes sense because you can turn the news on one day and find out about the things that matter; as it turns out, sports matter to a lot of people. So it is very convenient to have results listed inside the news.PortTwo said:
Putting sports into the entertainment section thins that section out and makes it inconsistent (it's mostly about numbers and shit, where entertainment is about shocks and tits).

Ok got one. I just tried the "Chunky Soup" version of New England clam chowder and it was awful. Anyone got a good suggestion for packaged clam chowder that isn't atrocious?

Why is it always 'pair of pants'?
Like, you're packing for a trip and your friend tells you to bring two pairs of pants. This would imply you need 4 pants but it's highly likely he just means 2 pants. Does he mean both legs of the one pants come together to form a pair?
I was also going to ask why it's always 'pants' instead of 'pant' but Wikipedia answers that, I guess.

I'm OK with the plural, but the pairs bit was bugging me.
Though what cyan posted seems to explain that.

Yeah, i was asking what the lineas meant. I used "period" thinking it means "sentence", sorry for the confusion.My english isn't that goodSummary Man said:Wait, are you asking what that line means?

I am a newbie here. Is there a 'what are you listening to' or music thread in the off-topic section? I'd like a link.

My parents have been bugging me to get netflix on their TV (CRT) for a while now. They have a PC, but hooking it up to their TV wouldn't really be ideal. What would be the cheapest netflix streaming device for a CRT? Right now I'm leaning towards a used wii.
Ratings. Weather & sports (Particularly local sports which gets no national coverage are big draws to the local news.PortTwo said:
Everything that is newsworthy is part of the news though which is why we know so much about Lindsey Lohan. I think sports is a step up.
Actually, sports cover the whole gamut of news such as business, celebrity, society, pride, success, & failure. You can't lose with all that drama going on.

My parents have (or had -- I don't know if they still use it) a Roku, and I never heard a complaint about it. It probably is the best, cheapest option if your parents are going to stay with an SDTV.
As an alternative suggestion for futureproofing: I just picked up a recertified WD TV Live. It lacks the wifi that the Roku HD has but it includes USB ports and does 1080p (Roku HD apparently does only 720p). According to reviews, it supports more file formats if you want to stream from a computer as well (and it does it very well, in my experience), though that could have since changed via software updates. Source code is openly published for both, so both can be well modded, I understand. This may not be important to you, though.
I'm using a Wii in my basement for media. I can't make any claims about its Netflix capabilities, but I can attest that it streams video quite well over its otherwise gimped wifi connection (as an aside, the WiiMC interface is far, far superior to the one that the WD TV Live uses, but that is once again not amazingly useful to your situation).
Both the WD TV Live and the Wii also come with a remote. ;P

why do people put "-age" at the end of threads titles? and does "g/a/f?" stand for anything?
