Nov-18-25 chessgames.com chessforum   WannaBe: I've been getting a lot of 404 from my wife... Not sure what it means. Need to call tech support.      Nov-18-25 Chessgames - Sports   WannaBe: <perfidious> Hehheheh I was in on of those pools, number of years; lots of fun, only 5 bux/week to enter, no one gets 'hurts'. And the house/bar buys you a beer when you participate. (They know you will sit there for just a 'few' more cold ones) Now, those elimination pools on      Nov-13-25 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Wow.... California, really?? https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles...      Nov-11-25 H Ree vs Hort, 1986    WannaBe: Just in case of not getting the pun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw0...      Nov-11-25 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: So there I am minding my own bidness, reading Michael Connelly's latest novel "The Proving Ground" (big fan of his books) and I saw this article today https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article... Just like what is happening in the book.      Nov-04-25 United States Championship (1984)    WannaBe: It was a nice day and De Firmian-Kudrin decided to play 2... Okay, I'll shut-up and leave now.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 554 OF 749 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-09-15    WannaBe: Minor bug turns iOS 8.3 emoji to aliens: http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/09/tec... Touch ID bug: http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonk... Also, iOS 8.4 is scheduled to release late(r) April or early May. I have updated my iPad (IT testing purposes), but my opinion for others is to wait for 8.4 and see what else Apple will manage to break, before upgrading. Apr-09-15    Penguincw: Hey <WannaBe>, congrats on hitting 30K! Using Search Kibitz, this is the post I found to be your 30000th: Jeremy Lim (kibitz #7881). Unfortunately, my kibitz/day ratio says I won't be hitting 10K until June, but I'm working on it. :) Apr-09-15    WannaBe: Kings down 2, in the 1st... Ugh Apr-09-15    WannaBe: <Penguincw> thanks, looks like I gotta get busy to catch <Jim Bartle>. Apr-09-15    WannaBe: 20 more minutes until Kings are eliminated from the play-offs. =( Apr-09-15    WannaBe: Time for the Kings to pull the goalie, water-boy, assistant towel boy and get more bodies on the ice... Apr-09-15    WannaBe: Next year... Apr-09-15    Mating Net: So depressing, but I need a team for this year. The Stanley Cup playoffs are too great not to have a rooting interest to follow. St. Louis? They've never won, maybe the hockey gods owe them. Apr-09-15    WannaBe: K. you take the Blues and I'll root for the 'New' North Stars. Apr-09-15    Mating Net: It's a deal <WannaBe> not happy about, but it's the best we got. Looks like the the Blues & the new North Stars might play each other in the 1st round, more early misery for one of us. Apr-10-15    WannaBe: Here an interesting contrast of wage and location: Seattle: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/20... Oakland: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/feeling... http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/... The contrast of two cities, in this case Seattle and Oakland where demographics, technology, and gross earning are just about different as day is to night. On one side, the proponents will say: "Hey, look at Seattle or San Francisco. Success!! Let's apply this to other places." The other side will say: "Hey, look at Oakland and people are getting hurt, business owners and employees that will be laid off." Here is an article by LA Times on San Jose's wage hike: (Article is dated Feb 2015, SJ raised min. wage 2013) http://www.latimes.com/business/la-... So, who really got the benefits of higher hourly wage? Apr-10-15    Mating Net: Market forces are the best arbiters of the minimum wage, not the government. The pictures are stunning, the words are sobering. http://www.latimes.com/local/califo... Apr-11-15    WannaBe: Saw the movie Seventh Son with J. Bridges and J. Moore, nice to see them two in the same movie again. =) Nothing else to report about this movie, if you wish to waste 2 hours of your time, go ahead. Apr-11-15    chancho: Furious Seven was waaaaaaay over the board action to the point that you think: what a load of BS!! But it's entertaining BS. :-) Apr-11-15    WannaBe: <chancho> Believe it or not, never seen any of the Fast/Furious (FF). I did watch the 3 Riddicks, after your comments. Quite entertaining, especially me being a SciFi movie critic. One of the article I read, was how they did the car out of the plane scene, all the camera work had to coordinated just right, and they had to wear special coloured jump suits so it can CG'd out later. Apr-11-15    chancho: I've seen the Riddick flicks. Vin Diesel is never going to win an academy award, but his movies are fun. Apr-14-15    WinKing: Hi <WannaBe>. <lostemperor> will hold his prediction contest if enough members sign up. Just wanted to let you know seeing as you are the reigning champ there. :) lostemperor chessforum Apr-14-15    WannaBe: <WingKing> getting there, just came back from 3 days in Reno. =)) Apr-15-15    WinKing: Hope you had a good time <WannaBe> & lots-o-luck! $$$ Apr-15-15    WannaBe: Happy Tax Day!!! =) Apr-15-15    WannaBe: Did anyone bought any Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) yesterday? Or call option on it? I hope not. Or did anyone sold any ALU or call option yesterday? (I hope you did!) Apr-16-15    technical draw: I'm having a problem with my Facebook. It says it's checking for malware. I think I'll call it <WannaBe>s Revenge Malware. Apr-17-15    chancho: <WannaBe> I've been using Opera browser as of late, and I cannot view movie trailers at IMDB with it. Any suggestions? Apr-17-15    WannaBe: Post me a link, and let me do a looky look. Apr-17-15    WannaBe: Here, try this... https://addons.opera.com/en/extensi...
