  1. (this is all assuming that i don't blow my brains out sometimes in this next year trying to write forty pages on how millard filmore would deal al qaeda)
    I would, if I had to write that up.I'll play you for a draw on the nerd award. The last economics-related thing I wrote was a strategy guide for a DOS-based big business simulation called Wall Street Raider.Mensch
  2. Beating the cansored out of the freshman dorms at nickle and dime poker and thinking I was THE MAN!feeling good about cutting class instead of feeling guilty.being a newlywed and getting some every freakin day and sometimes twice ( although, TTTT, I'm pretty tired most of the time and not really up to 2-a-days anymore).my commodore 64, my 1200 baud modem, SIDplayer, and 1000s of SIDs on a local BBS. "Star Wars Cantina" was awesome on SIDplayer. The modern Winamp plugin doesn't do it justice.Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Eye of the Beholder, and Champions of Krynn.Driving around on Sunday afternoon in my dad's 300ZX with the windows down and "Walk This Way" blasting.Spending the whole day at the pool swimming, sunning, flirting, eating, swimming more, and occasionally dropping a coin into the jukebox. On a Tuesday. 'Cause I didn't have to go bag groceries on Mondays or Tuesdays, and I busted my ass and cut all five of my regular customers' yards on Monday.Awesome topic.Mensch

  3. Is 1600 x 1200 a problem? I'm not sure about Party, bu most poker client windows are 800 x 600 and 4 of them will fit on 1600 x 1200.Otherwise, there should be a setting in the advanced dialog of your display properties that tells your video card, or perhaps you monitor, to shrink/expand a resized desktop to fit the screen. If the setting is not there, it's in your BIOS.Sorry to be so vague, but it's been a long time since I fixed this problem. It's common with LCD screens like on laptops, where if you set a resolution lower than the LCD native, there is a big black band surrounding a tiny display area.Hope it helps.Mensch

  4. i was thinking structure as in overall software and all that stuff.
    Okay, I still like UltimateBet. You don't have to open browser windows to use the bank or the customer support. The tabbed interface isn't the easiest to learn to navigate, but once you learn it, it's smoother than anyone else's.SitnGos are somewhat less convenient than before the recent overhaul, but now at least people with dialup or laggy connections have a chance to play them. No more fast fingers required.The tables rotate to put you right in the foreground of your window. The default chat is integrated, not a side window. There are no silly cartoon avatars. There is a mini-view that is less than 1/4 the size of a full window, for those with lower resolutions who want to multitable.Bonuses can be cleared even at the micromicrolimit tables. It's excruciatingly slow, but it can be done. Best bonus clearing rate is $15 +per hour, 3-tabling at $1-$2 and above.Shall I go on?Mensch
  5. Where in Vegas is DN's house? I don't want an address or anything, maybe latitude and longitude of the genereal neighborhood (I have to assume it's a upper class 'hood)....Is his street even in the "high detail" area of Vegas on Google Earth?What about Scott Fischman's place? Other pros? Mensch

  6. Vincent Price was in Edward Scissorhands with Marc Macaulay Marc Macaulay was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon
    Touche. Completely blipped over Edward Scissorhands.||Ursula Andress
  7. Vincent Price
    Kevin Bacon starred with Micheal Gross in TremorsMicheal Gross/Michael J. Fox - Family Ties (do TV shows count?)Micheal J. Fox/Jack Nicholson - Mars AttacksJack Nicholson/Vincent Price - The RavenMensch
  8. Haley Joel Osment.
    Way too easy. HJO was in Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks, who was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon.How about a tougher one: Kevin Bacon to Ursula Andress. I can do it in four steps.Mensch
