After what the British said taking a shot at the Salt Lake Olympics, I wouldn't watch the Olympics if it was the only thing on TV {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 27, 23:58

tbf - Cameron only said what he said after Mitt Romney insulted the London games BEFORE they had even started! {nm} Ttaaggggeerr Jul 28, 02:12

Except he didn't insult the games. He just questioned whether they were ready, a fair question given the security shortage that was reported {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 28, 02:32

If they allow some sort of act of terrorism to occur, they'll look incredibly inept. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 28, 02:37

Yeah but we didn't fly into Salt Lake, slag off everyone there - we just stood up for ourselves {nm} baronblacksheep Jul 30, 13:08

Mike....get real Prime time...8PM is 1AM and later in London....All of prime time is tape delay. Nothing new... Buy BONDS 19 coming 7/24/12 Jul 28, 06:34

Just because it isn't new doesn't mean it doesn't SUCK. Show the events LIVE. Show them in prime time too, but show them LIVE. goodvibe61 Jul 28, 13:30

Yes rd since you have faster trading than other hsx member {nm} mike255 Jul 27, 05:31

Thank you to Slappy for FF, I am proud to co-comm but we need 6 more managers. Contact me or SD and we can get you the info! {nm} damenchipguy Jul 26, 14:10

12 is the ideal number, but I think it can still work and be fun if we get 10 {nm} Moviesnob Jul 26, 16:20

Here's the direct link to join the HSX Fantasy Football league at Yahoo... 6 spots still open! slappydavid Jul 26, 16:21

I'm signed up and ready to rock. I request we move the draft a little later for west coasters {nm} skamanfu Jul 26, 19:22

That's just a placeholder draft time, we can discuss later one that works for most of us... {nm} slappydavid Jul 26, 19:55

Poll for no reason: When did you first go online? First thing you ever downloaded? First song you downloaded? islander Jul 26, 06:45

Don't remember as many details as you, but here's some stuff that comes to mind... slappydavid Jul 26, 07:14

with dialup, you had to be careful not to dial a long distance number; i remember a phone bill one time in the hundreds! {nm} islander Jul 26, 09:07

man, I remember doing a course in high school called 'information technology' for a semester with DOS Jane_Citizen Jul 26, 12:23

Ha! I feel so ashamed that I had to google your last line. I really shoulda known that :) {nm} islander Jul 26, 12:59

At least your typewriters were electric!! {nm} slappydavid Jul 26, 13:16

I may regret the DOS, but never the touch-typing :) {nm} Jane_Citizen Jul 26, 17:16

Let's see if my memory is as good as yours... accountant_4_Jesus Jul 26, 07:30

Oh, side note: 1996 was when I was 9. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 26, 07:30

good memory! and 2GB, wow, big time back then :) {nm} islander Jul 26, 09:07

hmm...college campus around 1988...ftp'ing miscellaneous stuff I can't remember...first time at home was AOL around 1995 {nm} tealfan Jul 26, 08:32

"You've got mail!" how exciting was it to hear that :) {nm} islander Jul 26, 09:08

ha! {nm} tealfan Jul 26, 12:15

it was awesome, even better if somebody was at my apartment to hear it! {nm} damenchipguy Jul 26, 12:53

first time online probably 96; first download song was by Magnate - Nuestro Amor Es Asi {nm} daveart Jul 26, 08:43

never heard of it, so I searched around and heard it. kinda catchy :) {nm} islander Jul 26, 09:08

In 1990 I was on local BBS sites. Not sure what year, but my first AOL disk was version 1.3 when you had limited hours. skamanfu Jul 26, 09:20

ive still got aol cds in my cabinets. they were everywhere back then {nm} islander Jul 26, 10:55

My first e-mail address was in 1993 it was first.last@ucobronco.edu damenchipguy Jul 26, 10:36

I should also add that it was not until hughes.net that I could actually stream anything from my office, so alot damenchipguy Jul 26, 10:55

im like you, prefer to buy something physically in store. but selections here keep getting smaller, almost impossible to find blurays at our islander Jul 26, 10:57

Very True, we have a Hastings that has a nice selection but I do not think I could buy a copy of License to ill from a store. {nm} damenchipguy Jul 26, 12:52

My first computer course at Brooklyn College was summer, 1965 but there was no "line" and we had to keypunch our BUY StarBondFund Jul 26, 11:42

Computers weren't still room-size by then, were they? {nm} islander Jul 26, 12:17

The IBM 1620 was about 7 feet wide, 4 feet tall and about 3 feet deep. There was an additional 20K attachment of about half that size. {nm} Buy BONDS 19 coming 7/24/12 Jul 26, 13:18

"the things ive hear"? some telescope :). 10-12 years ago, I bought a telescope off of QVC for 100some bucks. Looked through it exactly once {nm} islander Jul 27, 07:55

weird weather: so theres a "heat advisory" for my area starting in 5 minutes for the next 8 hours. however, islander Jul 25, 08:57

HSX Fantasy Football 2012 is ready to go! Link to join inside! slappydavid Jul 25, 07:24

I get :URL NOT FOUND {nm} PRodNano Jul 25, 08:48

Ok, let's try again slappydavid Jul 25, 08:52

I am in, a 1:00 pm CST would be better for me to draft (I attend church until noon) but I would like to be involved with the live draft. {nm} damenchipguy Jul 25, 13:08

I am down for a keeper league, I do not plan on going anywhere.I really would enjoy if we can muster 12 HSX traders to manage their own team damenchipguy Jul 25, 13:17

im signed up, but cant make that time for draft. i not asking it to be changed, but i assume i can autodraft or something like that? {nm} islander Jul 25, 09:01

We can discuss draft time when the league is filled up. I just had to put something... {nm} slappydavid Jul 25, 09:02

ok. i see though it looks like it can autodrafted, so im not too worried {nm} islander Jul 25, 09:04

Yeah, when one of the managers doesn't show up for a live draft, it gets auto picks... {nm} slappydavid Jul 25, 09:08

the cap should be 12. Any more and its slim pickins come waiver wire time {nm} Moviesnob Jul 25, 09:07

also should we set up a keeper league? (i vote yes!) {nm} Moviesnob Jul 25, 09:08

Ok, readjusted to max 12 teams. I'm all in for a keeper league if everyone else agrees... {nm} slappydavid Jul 25, 09:57

What does that mean? {nm} PRodNano Jul 25, 14:24

at the end of the season, you can keep some players on your roster for the next season, usually 3 (1 QB, 1 WR, 1 RB) {nm} Moviesnob Jul 25, 14:57

so players like trent richardson and RG3 are more valuable (in theory) than they are in regular leagues {nm} Moviesnob Jul 25, 14:58

keeper leagues generally do drafts the following year based on past years standings, not by random {nm} Moviesnob Jul 25, 14:59

Sweet. Thanks. {nm} PRodNano Jul 25, 17:12

I'm in and signed up. {nm} KaiGee Jul 25, 15:09

Christian Bale visits Aurora victims LonePirate Jul 24, 15:22

agree, very classy {nm} Moviesnob Jul 24, 16:55

Very cool, Mr. Christian. :) {nm} tealfan Jul 24, 17:10

Yes, good gesture from Bale. WB would be smart to offer a private screening, for all the survivors who want to go see it after recovering. elchan Jul 24, 18:55

"after recovering" is the key. Not all survivors will reach that point at the same time. zonker2 Jul 27, 11:04

What could the future Hall of Famer, just traded, do in Seattle, that he cannot do in New York, and would never be allowed to in the NFL?... Buy BONDS 19 coming 7/24/12 Jul 24, 10:43

could be a cultural thing. While his first name is Ichiro, in Japan, family name usually comes first, so he's Suzuki Ichiro in Japan Moviesnob Jul 24, 12:30

Looks great, just let me know the name and number and give me some notice for the draft and I am ready to go, thanks Slappydavid! {nm} damenchipguy Jul 23, 10:08

How about revive last year's league, change the scoring, see who comes back, add the new ones, and go from there? slappydavid Jul 23, 13:07

It is not hard at all; I just do not want to set the scoring. I know two that will be back from last year four if we need them. {nm} damenchipguy Jul 23, 14:52
