I'm not sure I know who zugswang is. Is he really bad? Supafrey seems pretty awful in general, but occasionally posts something correct/amusing.

Yeah i don't know wtf that is either.

LFS,

I've been planning a few shows and wanted to let you know Phish is playing the Greek Theatre in Berkeley Aug 5th, 6th, and 7th. They were really great in November. Rumor is they're also doing a festival at the end of August at somewhere like Limestone or Pocono Raceway. With the right pictures of wookies spirit, that could make a great trip report.

This would be another great opportunity for OOT Thunderdome.

Hey, thanks. No SoCal makes me sad. If you can make it to Telluride you should go, that place is AMAZING in the summertime.

My mom's got one and she loves it. Acer - seems to be one of the best values for netbooks for what you get. I compared it to Toshiba and Dell - Toshiba is close but both seem to be better than Dell for what you get.

They're pretty powerful - it's a full computer, just mini. The battery life is incredible. Took it cross country and had several hours of battery life to spare. She has a regular SATA drive, but I know someone with a solid state drive and he says he's gotten ridiculous battery life - something like 12+ hours.

You might want to consider a solid state drive for your daughter given that it's fewer moving parts so if she drops it or bangs on it or whatever it's a lot harder to mess anything up. Also it's lighter. The drawback is that you'll probably only get a max of 32GB of space, but I'd think that would be plenty for your daughter (but who knows with kids these days )

NewEgg has the pink disney princess netbooks OMG.

All good advice, especially the disney netbook tip. It even comes with the whitelist software!

I've heard that a number of times. Won't be able to this year, but some time I'll need to.

Isn't that exactly what I just asked for?!

Zug is terrible. I think I could come up with a strong case for the banning but here's just a small taste.

i never understood ppl that watch porn when they are in a relationship. does she not sex you very often or something?

zugzwang is a terrible SE poster, who like GREEAR thinks he is a good poster since enough people have found his stupidity to be endearing.
03-26-2010 , 02:04 PM
No, OOT Thunderdome is my idea to circumvent the ban on OOT Survivor. Not really circumvent, so much as sidestep the whole messy fight-to-the-death thing.


OOT Thunderdome in a nutshell:

Challenge must be made and accepted.
OOT Thunderdome thread is created with public poll and moderator of thread chosen.
Opening statements.
Randoms can then post only questions to the combatants in the thread. No comments.(This may need work)

Loser is exiled for 3 months or whatever combatants agree to.

hmmm i really just wanted the whole TWO MAN ENTER ONE MAN LEAVE DIE DIE DIE part

4life thunderdome was a huge fail

no one wanted to get banned apparently.

chocula vs zug imo.

I got an Asus 1005PE netbook. Crazy battery life made it the winner, that will be more useful than pretty pink princess decals, and my daughter won't care. Also decided I'd rather choose my own parental control software, you could say I wanted control over that. Net Nanny 6.5 appears to be the Nazi fascist software of choice for the discriminating parent.

Supafrey-Zugzwang survivor would be awesome. Also zug has been in a contest with a ban on the line before so we know it wont be a stretch for either competitor.

If it happens though it would be great to make it so you cant vote for a pre-specified time. Let them two fight for it before the crowd decides.
