Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
I need to fill out my business wardrobe. Any tips? My dress code is shirt, tie, & dress pants.

I've got the following:
-Medium grey suit http://www.josbank.com/menswear/shop/Product_11001_10050_393403
-8 dress shirts: 4 white, 2 blue, 1 lavendar, 1 white/grey check
-5 neckties: 1 purple, 2 blue, 1 red, 1 gold
-5 trousers: 3 navy, 1 black, 1 charcoal

I was thinking of adding the following:
-Solid navy suit http://www.josbank.com/menswear/shop/Product_11001_10050_397958
-Solid charcoal suit http://www.josbank.com/menswear/shop/Product_11001_10050_392097
-5 neckties: 3 purple, 1 burgundy, 1 green

GTSVA: With who...?
Nuke: chewbacca?

So I don't know what inclined me to do it, but I asked a hostess gal if she'd like to grab coffee sometime
She agreed

My intentions aren't intimate, at least I don't think they are. However, I don't know what she's thinking of it all...

Gah

Why'd I do this to myself

"No"

88 hours until the world doesn't end.  Yaaaaaay.
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.

Was looking here at that Raspberry Pi site, and thought the Android pc on a stick would be a good multimedia player that i could stick my external terrabyte HD into. Any opinions on the subject?

Also looking here at cheap as chips smartphones as i'm keen to try my hand at picking one apart and pimping it out as a complete emulation system.

16 bit console Emulation FYI :D

the pi is actually kind of nice but its also a total pita. finding a power adapter that can actually power it is damn near impossible. i ended up using a 3 amp switch mode supply (a ubec for an rc aircraft, i actually have it running off of a makeshift lithium battery pack). of course the damn issue with the polyfuses means that you cant have any usb devices that burn more than 140ma (this makes wifi dongles hard to use). there are warranty voiding tweaks that can be done to fix it. but fortunately this issue has been fixed as of the last revision. once you get it working it runs great. but it is a linux board and i am no fan of linux. i read somewhere that you might only spend $35 on a pi, but you will end up spending $50 in accessories just to use it.

Saw the Hobbit today.  Impressed, even if it dragged in parts.

Stone giants are ****ing awesome.

my sources told me it's a half-baked cash cow milking LOTR.  3 movies for the shortest book?

Perhaps.  It also manages to go significantly closer to the books and appendices by virtue of spending 9 hours on less than 400 pages of text.  Honestly, it's about as close as any one is going to get to actually making a book into a movie and not sucking at it.

  
Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
They're including a ton of things from "The Book of Unfinished Tales", the appendices, and even some Silmarillion stuff here and there.

They are also showing stuff that the book only alluded to. Gandalf's encounter with the Necromancer is almost certain to be shown, while in the book that happened entirely offscreen and was only told secondhand.

On the whole, it's a very good job so far, and it seems that it's not so much "The Hobbit" as it is "The Prequel to the Lord of the Rings". Not that this is a bad thing, mind you.

i thought LOTR movies were incredibly well done as far as matching the book, other than bits left out for the sake of time.  i saw the movies first, and as i was reading the books i felt like i was pretty much reading the script.
