Jan-20-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: <keypusher> In a nutshell, Monte Carlo simulation is used in insurance, life, auto, home <A LOT>. It is also used in retirement simulation, e.g. how much saving you already have, male/female life expectancy, expected returning and amount withdrawn each year. Also some ...      Jan-20-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: Re: Star Trek Academy <WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed> So, I did not finish episode one, it's still in my queue, but I did manage to read some of the reviews... And the reviews have not been kind. Some even compared episodes 1 and 2 (released the same day) to the very much ...      Jan-20-26 Hort vs de Firmian, 1986   WannaBe: <Breunor> Good question, I ran this game through the computer game analysis and: 31...Kg6 32.Bxa7 Bc4 33.Nd5 Nc6 34.Bc5 Ne5 35.Ke3 Bf1 36.Bd4 ⩱ +0.87 (41 ply) Possibly white was low on time and don't want to risk the chance to reaching move 40      Jan-19-26 R Toran vs M Valls Tona, 1948    WannaBe: Well, if you play f4, there is mate in 250...      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      Jan-11-26 Tata Steel Masters (2026)    WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS      Jan-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.

My read is it makes him a legendary tail-teller... Aug-15-11    WannaBe: http://news.yahoo.com/hackers-prote... As someone who only recently moved up 'North'... I am watching this event unfold with the utmost interest. Aug-16-11    Domdaniel: <WannaBe> Thanks for the Klu. Still stumped, but it gets those puzzle juices flowing. Is it true, btw, that Joseph M Bradford got an IM title at the age of 57? There's hope for all of us, even AJ. I have an idea for the Caissars too. People with innaresting profiles, cool avatars, or stupendous game collections get to have 10 votes. Other preemy members get 5 votes. Non-preemy members who have tried to get in the spirit of things, 3 votes. The rest get one vote. Sure, it isn't democratic. But we have to make sacrifices as chessplayers. ;) Aug-16-11    WannaBe: <Domdaniel> Yes, Bradford, have achieved the IM norm, (fortunately, it happened about 5 seconds after I took the photo, and blinded his opponent... Shameless plug here.) Work on my puzzle, it is completely anti-computer and anti-google. I know I posted 2 weeks, but it was such an tempting offer, it took me less time than that. I personally expect to achieve my first 'expert' norm by 2055. When I am 120 years old. Aug-17-11    WannaBe: I am not traveling back to SoCal this weekend, which means, I will be able to spend some times at the Mechanics Institute in San Francisco and the Chess Club... I hope my rear end wont't be so sore afterwards. Aug-18-11    WannaBe: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basket... "You call that basketball?!" "Oh, yeah? Well, your economy sucks!" "Sucks?! Take that!" "No, you <TAKE> that!" Aug-18-11    WannaBe: Really, http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/... that person in the photo is really Henry Winkler. Aug-18-11    WannaBe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aPH... I love soccer, so much 'action' going on... I can almost see the ketchup squirting out of these 'gentlemens' heads...

I have read G. Will for a long, long time, and I have no doubt, that he would <NOT> 'copy' something out of a previously published work and not give credit. But, this paragraph, just sounds too similiar, I will have to check up on it and get back. (Yes, this is the current book that I am reading... I am not making this stuff up, it <WAS> a weather balloon. Sent up by <technical draw>!! Attached to the balloon was a note, asking for 'donation' of 20$! =) Aug-23-11    WannaBe: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Admin... Wow, deregulation?! Who does he think he is, Ronald Reagan!??! Don't we want to tax big businesses and rich people?! Aug-23-11    WannaBe: Notre Dame have finally Crist as their savior!! http://espn.go.com/college-football...

A 5.3 quake shook southern Colorado/northern New Mexico border, hours later, DC and east coast was hit with a quake. And now, today: http://news.yahoo.com/strong-6-8-ma... Aug-24-11    NakoSonorense: One of my best friends is one of those conspiracy theory fanatics. I should probably be expecting him to tell me soon how all of this is because of HAARP. Sigh...

Aug-25-11    NakoSonorense: <WannaBe> Are tremors more common in the Bay Area than in SoCal? Another friend of mine who's originally from SF but now lives in LA said on that she feels nostalgic for all the earthquake statuses she's been seeing on facebook... Go figure. Aug-25-11    WannaBe: <Nako> no idea, just moved here, ask me again after 25 years... then I will have a good idea. Aug-25-11    WannaBe: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/14... Stephen King's new book, involves JFK's Dallas assasination, will be in store on Election Day, Nov. 8th... Conspiracy Theorists are already perplexed... Aug-25-11    OhioChessFan: Yeah, they don't understand why it's being called "fiction". Aug-26-11    WannaBe: Ah, I finished 'Area 51' by Annie Jacobsen, very interesting read, mostly, if not all of it is historical/history of the area, if you are expecting a lot of alien autopsy, you will be disappointed. Good book, easy read, but if I tell you anymore, I'd have to kill you. Aug-26-11    WannaBe: Got Lost in Shangri-La, will keep y'all posted on how this one is. Aug-30-11    jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee> speaking of "user induced error" I was downloading some AIDS recently, thinking it was a chess book. Imagine my surprise when I next rebooted my computer and a screen came up "Catastrophic Failure" Do you think that was a good, or bad sign? Luckily "System Restore" saved yet another poor computer from wanton user abuse. Aug-30-11    WannaBe: <jessicafischerqueen> Good thing it was a Cat-astrophic Failure, no one wants to a Wabbit-astrophic Failure. Trust me.
