| 19:41.44 | elg | but, this same symptoms did start happening when he upgraded the firmware on his old actiontec (which solved anohter problem) |
| 19:41.57 | elg | so actiontec is still the prime port 80 blocking suspect |

| 21:29.21 | bonez45 | hehe |
| 21:29.45 | mrpullThePlumber | I suspect that I can find something similarly offensive in the KJV |
| 21:30.05 | mrpullThePlumber | (interesting that pidgin decided to make that RTL) |
| 21:30.45 | mrpullThePlumber | in better gaming news, the Nirvana track pack for Rock Band is scheduled for next week |
| 21:31.08 | Jayce^ | and ?? ?? ????? ??? to you! |
| 21:31.27 | mrpullThePlumber | Jayce^: no unicode for you? |
| 21:32.27 | elg | huh. biden is here today, and palin will be in Roswell on Sunday. Las Cruces is the second biggest city in NM. Roswell is like maybe the second smallest |
| 21:32.32 | elg | ok, not that bad, but roswell is podunk |
| 21:33.15 | high_roller | not too podunk for aliens |
| 21:33.32 | mrpullThePlumber | I got a kick out of being in a semi-battleground state last week. We just don't get the nasty attack ads in utah. |
| 21:33.33 | elg | well sure it's a cool place that's well known |
| 21:33.35 | elg | but it's still podunk |
| 21:33.40 | mrpullThePlumber | no sense is spending here. |
| 21:34.09 | elg | new mexico is a swing state |
| 21:34.23 | elg | not a large swing state, but nevertheless. but i don't watch commercials so I wouldn't know |
| 21:34.43 | mrpullThePlumber | yeah NM is close close |
| 21:34.48 | Jayce^ | mrpullThePlumber, shows as unicode to me |
| 21:35.05 | mrpullThePlumber | odd. It was question marks on this end |
| 21:35.11 | mrpullThePlumber | funny I can see some but not others |
| 21:35.17 | mrpullThePlumber | stupid pidgin |
| 21:35.26 | tensai | mrpullThePlumber: your text looks fine but Jayce^'s is broken |
| 21:35.52 | Jayce^ | odd |
| 21:38.11 | unum | just tested a survey to track how those nasty attack ads are working |
| 21:40.23 | elg | i have, otoh, got enough ads in the mail to light a small bonfire |
| 21:40.35 | elg | probably exacerbated by me being registered as independent |
| 21:40.51 | elg | the dems have come knocking but not the republicans |
| 21:41.14 | tensai | a couple local candidates have come by |
| 21:41.47 | high_roller | yea, I don't see as much presidential stuff here in Utah, as I did in Nevada |
| 21:45.09 | unum | elg: which leg district are you in? |
| 21:45.52 | elg | leg district? |
| 21:46.21 | elg | oh legislativ? |
| 21:49.07 | unum | utah legaislative district |
| 21:49.19 | elg | as in, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico%27s_congressional_districts ? |
| 21:49.41 | unum | oh I forgot you are the one in new mexico |
| 21:49.43 | unum | nm then |
| 21:51.47 | Sargun_Screen | well, you guys are the christian extreme |
| 21:52.51 | Sargun_Screen | mormonville... if you guys didn't vote for the right, I would be surprised. |
| 21:53.09 | Jayce^ | It's "choose" the right :) |
| 21:53.24 | Jayce^ | wonders again why Sargun_Screen hangs out here |
| 21:53.37 | Sargun_Screen | heh. |
| 21:53.55 | mrpullThePlumber | the christian extreme wouldn't agree that mormons are extreme christians |
| 21:54.07 | unum | I noticed this channel has taken on a liberal slant as of late |
| 21:54.26 | Sargun_Screen | unum: depends when you're here |
| 21:55.02 | Sargun_Screen | there are quite a few moderates here... |
| 21:55.11 | mrpullThePlumber | the two party system is just as broken in utah as it is everywhere |
| 21:55.25 | unum | well I guess I meant liberal compared to the past |
| 21:55.49 | Sargun_Screen | yeah |
| 21:56.08 | Sargun_Screen | then again there are quite a few oddballs, fozzmoo *cough* |
| 21:56.42 | fozzmoo | throws a couple odd pool balls Sargun_Screen's direction |
| 21:56.49 | unum | I'm still having a hard time distingishing between fozzmoos and super dells stances |
| 21:56.57 | mrpullThePlumber | hohohoh |
| 21:56.58 | mrpullThePlumber | oh man |
| 21:57.02 | mrpullThePlumber | pulls up a seat |
| 21:57.19 | fozzmoo | unum: I have a wide stance. ;-) |
| 21:57.23 | unum | still no more blogs posts, darn |
| 21:57.29 | Jayce^ | unum, it's kinda like the similarity between yours and Ch? guevara's :) |
| 21:57.33 | unum | fozzmoo: I still think you were flirting with me ;) |
| 21:57.36 | mrpullThePlumber | fozzmoo: but not like Larry Craig's wide stance right? |
| 21:57.37 | Jayce^ | hehe |
| 21:58.20 | unum | Jayce^: so their both the same, it's just my insanity is better known? |
| 21:59.14 | mrpullThePlumber | in other right wing news, Fox News Channel is now in HD on D* |
| 21:59.16 | Jayce^ | mrpullThePlumber, play dirty like that and harleypig will start comparing too :) |
| 22:00.04 | mrpullThePlumber | I'm just happy Senator Craig isn't LDS |
| 22:00.11 | Jayce^ | unum, mass murderer vs local idiot we'd like to murder :) (speaking re: the one we compare too) |
| 22:00.31 | fozzmoo | At least Sargun acknowledges that we *are* Christians. |
| 22:00.35 | tensai | senator craig said that whoever won his senate seat was welcome to share his toilet seat |
| 22:00.47 | Jayce^ | tensai, that's *your* senator :) |
| 22:01.07 | Jayce^ | is soooo ready to be home for the weekend |
| 22:01.22 | tensai | Jayce^: we finally got our 15 minutes of fame |
| 22:01.42 | mrpullThePlumber | senators hatch and craig _would_ make a cute couple |
| 22:02.17 | mrpullThePlumber | ( I guess I'm ready for a weekend too... I'm talking out my hiney ) |
| 22:02.37 | unum | I like how it was craig and not crapo that got in trouble on the toilet |
| 22:03.59 | tensai | neat. the manager of my local fox affiliate emailed me back. |
| 22:04.21 | tensai | they didn't get a second channel for digital transmission so they have to do a hot cut |
| 22:04.28 | mrpullThePlumber | tensai: sweet. now email somebody at KJZZ and tell them to broadcast in HD all the time |
| 22:04.30 | tensai | I asked when and he said it'll be 11/17 |
| 22:04.43 | mrpullThePlumber | and someone at CW30 and tell them to fix SNL |
| 22:05.14 | fozzmoo | thinks about getting an HDTV set for xmas. |
| 22:05.17 | tensai | "dear kjzz. my friend mrpull the plumber would like to buy his business but because you're not broadcasting in hd..." |
| 22:05.28 | mrpullThePlumber | heheh |
| 22:17.37 | mrpullThePlumber | fozzmoo: I would expect there'll be some deals on HDTV's this year based on the fact that fewer may be buying them |
| 22:17.47 | mrpullThePlumber | maybe there'll be some extra enticements |
| 22:18.56 | mrpullThePlumber | fozzmoo: make sure you have some HD signals to feed into it though. is you hook an SD sat box to it you may be less happy than your old tv. |
| 22:20.56 | goozbach | fozzmoo: buy after christmas, but before the superbowl |
| 22:21.19 | mrpullThePlumber | goozbach: that is what I did. I think that is good advice. |
| 22:21.20 | goozbach | there's a window there when prices plummet for realitivly new hardware |
| 22:23.40 | tensai | goozbach: interesting |
| 22:30.24 | mrpullThePlumber | a lot of "last years" models should be a good value this season too |
| 22:30.53 | mrpullThePlumber | since there hasn't been a ton of improvements (other than LCD backlighting) like there has been in the last 3-5 years |
| 22:32.39 | tensai | what's the minimum size worth getting for an hdtv? |
| 22:33.00 | mrpullThePlumber | tensai: it depends on how big the room is / how far away you'll sit |
| 22:33.08 | mrpullThePlumber | 42ish maybe? |
| 22:33.19 | mrpullThePlumber | I wish I would have gotten a bigger screen |
| 22:33.26 | tensai | 6-8 feet |
| 22:33.42 | mrpullThePlumber | I got a 46 since my wife wasn't hot on the furniture options for 52 inchers |
| 22:34.00 | mrpullThePlumber | you'd probably by happy with a 42 incher |
| 22:34.22 | mrpullThePlumber | the purists have a formula for what is "right" depending on how far back you sit |
| 22:34.30 | mrpullThePlumber | but just go with what you like |
| 22:35.21 | tensai | I'll have to remember to stand 8 feet back from the tv to really get a feel for it |
| 22:35.37 | mrpullThePlumber | keep in mind with a 16:9 set you are giving up vertical size |
| 22:35.45 | mrpullThePlumber | and most movies are still letter boxed |
| 22:36.09 | mrpullThePlumber | so you may want to play a movie you like on multiple screens and stand at your home distance |
| 22:48.45 | mrpullThePlumber | and for that matter, make sure you sit at your home height |
| 22:49.09 | mrpullThePlumber | since some screens look better/worse at different angles (though most plasmas / lcds don't suffer this anymore) |
| 22:50.16 | mrpullThePlumber | I don't know about you guys, but my clock says 5:01 PM. I'm outta here ;-) |
