WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5

WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

  WannaBe: Apparently, some of the latest retail store credit card hacks were due to failure to upgrade (Windows XP to Win7).

  WannaBe: How to manipulate numbers... =)

If you have iPhone 5 and want to upgrade to iPhone 6? It will cost you 14% more a year to charge its battery.

If you go to iPhone 6 Plus, it will cost you 26.8% more a year to charge its battery.

Never did much with ND, the only good season he had was with Tyrone Willingham's recruits.

Sep-28-14  dakgootje: <Charlie got FIRED!!!!! >

Of course he got fired.

That's what you get when you're in the habit of biting fingers.

Nice!

I'm taking a short break from gameknot. I'll be ready for a few more games in a couple of months.

So, yesterday... Some people did show up. I played first against some Russian guy. I had positional advantage, but then he made a move, I panicked, and threw the game away. I had a solid defense, but I just didn't see it. We didn't play again since he had to leave.

Then I played another guy and beat him 3-0.

Then I played a Filipino guy and gave me an ass-whopping in the first game. We played one more and I managed to build a strong advantage, but he got a perpetual at the end and. I should've done better... =/

  WannaBe: Came to the realization that my left hand and elbow hurts a bit, after some thinkin' I believe I know why...

And I blame keyboard layout and/or common short-cuts.

Since over 85% of the population are right-handed, (as I am one of them) my mouse is situated on the right. (DUH!) And more often than not, I choose to use the keyboard more than my mouse.

Now, here are some common short-cuts that I use:

Ctr+t (new browser tab)
Ctr+w (close current tab)
Alt+d (highlight address bar)
Alt+a (brings up bookmark/favorites)
Alt+t (tools)
Alt+f (Files)
Alt+f -> s (save file)
Alt+f -> c (close file)
Alt+f -> x (close application)
Alt+Space+n (minimize current app)
Alt+Space+c (close app)
Ctrl+v
Ctrl+c
Ctrl+t
Ctrl+z (undo)
tab (jump to next entry or input box)
Alt+tab (jump/cycle to next application)
Ctl+tab (jump/cycle to next web page tab)
Windows Start key

THEY ARE ALL ON THE LEFT SIDE!

  WannaBe: Unbelievable, Seattle is only -7 with O/U 45.5

If I am anywhere close to a sports book, I'd bet <technical draw>'s $20 on Seattle.
