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simulation, e.g. how much saving you already have, male/female life expectancy, expected returning and amount withdrawn each year.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...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 467 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-15-12    WannaBe: Givin' the 3 Stooges 4 Nyuks out of 5! Apr-16-12    Memethecat: <WannaBee> I can't find a way to change my gameknot prefs to 3 day mvs, so I think I've got to start another game as that's the only time it gives me the 2,3,4 day option. Does that sound right to you? Apr-16-12    WannaBe: http://www.networkworld.com/researc... Can't make this up, number 3 and 4 sounds absolutely 'amusing'! Apr-16-12    WannaBe: A particial sampling from No. 4, from my previous linked article: <Horne's job is to evaluate and edit dozens of reader contributions each day, then choose which ones to publish. He quickly discovered that major contributors were spending most of their time hawking products, while others were using multiple identities in order to argue with themselves. For two hours a day, Horne attempts to douse flame wars fueled by a combustible mix of arrogance and ignorance, snuff out personal attacks, and deal with threatening emails complaining about his own performance -- all for free. > Apr-17-12    Memethecat: OK I've got 2 team games to play, they're both against the same player, I take it this is normal? but unexpected. Another question: My knowledge of openings is on par with an amoeba, so for CC I usually rummage around Opening Explorer to help me try new things & to get the general jist of unfamiliar starts. Is this allowed? or am I a cheating so & so? Apr-17-12    WannaBe: You get 2 games, one white, one black, same opponent. Opening explorers are allowed, as you can also use GK's opening database... Apr-17-12    WannaBe: I also believe, as long as no computer engine is used, any print/online literature is fair game. Apr-17-12    Memethecat: Good to know. In the past I've played through lots of GM games in the relevant opening variant, always helpful. Apr-18-12    WannaBe: http://www.networkworld.com/news/20... Is it Y2K? No. Will things still work (for the Feds)? Yes. Will (certain) things not work? Yes Will <TD> get his 20.00$ retirement check? NO, NO, NO! Apr-19-12    Memethecat: <WB> For now I'm happy with 1 match at a time, I'll let you know if my appetite grows. I prefer 3day moves, but if its difficult to find opponents then its OK to go up to my 7day setting limit. Appreciate all your help btw. Apr-19-12    WannaBe: <Memethecat> That's what I am here for. =)) Apr-19-12    WannaBe: Thank you, Discovery. http://www.networkworld.com/slidesh... Space: the final frontier. This is the Final voyage of the starship Discovery. Its twenty-seven year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before*. (Failed to find any civilisations, failed to contact alien species. Total colossal waste of tax-payers money, you can probably blame George W. =)) Apr-19-12    WannaBe: Reminder to self, 1. post the Fischer Space Pen story. 2. Do 'research' on 'A Change is Gonna Come' song. 3. Learn Sicilian Najdorf, 40 moves deep. 4. Perfect the WannaBe Gambit. 5. Solve World's problem. 6. Learn how to fly with just a cape. 7. Buy a Batmobile. 8. Write my Nobel Prise speech. 9. Get my 20.00$ back from <Technical Draw> Apr-19-12    WannaBe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP1k... R. Kelly version of 'A Change is Gonna Come' F------------ well, OK, G+ Apr-20-12    technical draw: Great list <WannaBe>. Everything is doable except #9. Apr-20-12    WannaBe: Anybody know how to copy/paste while using a cell phone? Android platform. Specifically web page URL, or to quote another member's post. Thanks in advance. Apr-20-12    I play the Fred: <WB>, I have an Android phone. I hold my finger on the text until a couple of brackets appear. Those you can slide around to select a block of text. Once you have it, tap it. That will give you a <Text copied to clipboard.> message. Then you hold your finger down in the text area until the <Paste> option appears. Hope that helps. Apr-20-12    WannaBe: <I play the Fred> figured out the link portion, was able to copy a word, but not a block. See if it's my stupid paw, or the stupid default T-Mobile browser. Will do more testing! Apr-22-12    NakoSonorense: Hey, nice seeing you yesterday. Pauley Pavilion is looking good - I hope it pays off and we at least make it to the Final Four next year! Apr-23-12    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> It was good seeing you too! Apr-23-12    WannaBe: Okay, I have a 'minor' issue with my new Dell Inspiron laptop, the mouse pad on the keyboard is too big. With the large m-pad, my big paws keeps on hitting/tapping it, and make my mouse jumps to unexpected places, hence/and it also make my web-page behaves very unexpectedly. Apr-23-12    chancho: <WannaBe> My wife has that same laptop. Same problems. She is using a mouse rather than the touch pad. Apr-23-12    WannaBe: <chancho> I am learning to type with my palms raised, I usually have them rested on the laptop. But sometimes, I slip, and rest my palms down, and boom!! My mouse pointer is jumping all over the place and doing funny things to my application that I am working on. And then I have to control-z back to the place where I was. Grrrrrrrr... Apr-23-12    WannaBe: http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/story... Tony Parker is leaving the Spurs to join UCLA basketball team!! Apr-24-12    WannaBe: There is one scene, in the movie Battleship, about 36 minutes in, where a chess board is shown in the background. White square is in the lower-right hand corner.
