If the odds really are 76,000,000:1 then yes, you could theoretically "buy" the jackpot for $76 million. It just isn't very practical to purchase that many tickets, especially since you have to pay the $76 million up front, and if you end up sharing the jackpot with anyone, you could actually...

Yup, I'm a mile or two west of I-355 but commute to the Loop for work. Go Bears!

I have that problem with a few shows too. Did you ever look at the description of the repeated late-night episodes? There isn't one. Since TiVo can't tell if the episode is a new one or a repeat without that information, it records the show to be safe. To avoid recording the late repeats...

Different tests use different scoring systems, so it's hard to equate your score from one test with your score from another. For example, the last test I took (about ten years ago) I scored 138, with MENSA level being 142. On the test linked above, (using std. dev. of 24) I scored 140 with...

It's an opinion about the speed limit... 55 ISBS = "55 is bullsh**" I got behind a really nice car a few weeks ago that had a vanity plate. It took me a few seconds to get it, but once I did I thought it was pretty clever. IX FE For those who can't decode it: 9 Iron (golf reference)

Nick - go find a copy of "Chronic" by Dr. Dre, and check out the track in the middle of the CD called "Deeez Nuuuts". The CD was released in 1992, so it was definitely not 80's stuff. :)

I use water. :confused:

FYI Chad, you may not be able to use the lockers at Union Station. I pass through there every day since I take the commuter train from the suburbs, and all of the lockers I've seen have a sign on them explaining that they are unavailable due to security concerns. Just wanted to give you a...

I have never seen Titanic, and I am actively avoiding watching it. I even purchased it on VHS the day it was released so it could sit on my shelf while I actively didn't watch it. Why did I do it? Because I think it's funny. (Besides, I already know the boat sinks. I watched the documentary...

My longest stretch without any sleep at all is 93 hours, without the aid of excessive amounts of caffeine or other stimulants (I would drink a Coke when I got thirsty, so I can't say I was completely caffeine-free). I've gone longer than that a few times with the help of coffee or a couple of...

Oops, I thought this was going to be a discussion on the proper way to watch a Britney Spears video. :b But to contribute something semi-constructive to the thread, I'll say this... Jimi doesn't get the MM label like many of his "students" because he invented and/or perfected some of the...

They both gave it a :thumbsdown: Ebert & Roeper's review You can find the search page here: Ebert & Roeper search I wonder why they don't offer links to other pages on the website anymore?

Ever notice that whenever a show has people who pass through walls and other solid objects (because they are ghosts, they are "out of phase", etc.) they never fall through the floor? Some things are better left undiscussed. ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask yourself... what...

A link I got from the HTF sometime last year that I thought some of you might enjoy: http://www.minibosses.com/ Listening to these guys sure brings back memories. I used to get a really bad case of "Nintendo Thumb" on a dialy basis. U+D+U+D+L+R+L+R+B+A+Start! ------------------ Dax R...

Why are there no women from planets other than Earth in the "Miss Universe" pageant? At least, none that we know of... ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask yourself... what would Ditka do?

My TiVo is showing 1:10 as the running time for this episode, so TiVo owners shouldn't have to worry about it. Two more days... woohoo! ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask yourself... what would Ditka do?

Would that be "Frankenstein" by Edgar Winter? It's kind of hard to tell from the "da da da da" guitar licks, but I think this is it. :) ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask yourself... what would Ditka do?

Does anybody else think the dancing Eagles doll should get his own sitcom? That's one of the funniest things on TV right now. quote: BEARS baby, BEARS! I'm with you on that one! Woohoo!! ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask yourself... what would Ditka do? [Edited last by...

Just to clarify a bit, when I say "calibrate" I mean "make all speakers output at the same SPL". I'm not trying to make the calibration point correspond with "0" on my volume knob. I suppose that would technically be called "balancing" not "calibrating", but that's not terribly important. I...

I appreciate that - but the truth is far, far worse than your lies! ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask yourself... what would Ditka do?

I like to calibrate to 70dB since that reads at "0" on the SPL meter when it's set to 70dB. I listen to movies at around the same volume, and it's plenty loud for my taste. Doesn't bother my neighbors too much either (I'm in an apartment). ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask...

Spoilers ahead - skip ahead if you don't want to know what happens in the next part of the series. Spoiler:Easy Company finds a concentration camp. End of spoilers. I have mixed emotions while watching this series - on one hand, it's truly one of the best dramatic series I've ever seen, and...

You're in luck - I still have every episode on my TiVo. I'll send you an email this weekend to get the shipping address from you. No need to send a blank tape or anything - just help another forum member sometime and we'll call it even. ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask...

Sorry kids, Jack Daniels isn't really a bourbon. It's close, but the charcoal filtering disqualifies it from being accurately called bourbon. (No disrespect to the Jack fans... in fact, single barrel Jack is some darn good stuff.) Since bourbon is my drink of choice, I thought I'd throw a few...

Isn't it "The Girl from Ipanema"? (it's been a while since I took the elevator to the Cook County Assessor's office, so I could be mistaken) ------------------ Dax R. Scott - DVD Addict Ask yourself... what would Ditka do?
