It's the New Madrid Fault!
We are in Des Moines... didn't feel it in our sleep but we woke up to our two budgies startled and flying around in their cage right at that time.

Where everybody knows your name...
I've been curious about this game. How would it play on an nVidia 6600 GT (128meg), AMD 2800, 512 RAM? CS: Source and HL2 run fine on my low-ish resolution monitor.

I'm a total noob. I killed someone with a shovel and then we won. Please hope me.

From the green to the blue!
Not that I have made many posts, but I think the best written ones, no matter what the content, are written like a good news lead. They give the who, what, why, when, where and how simply and to the point. They don't leave you guessing where the links click to (I like the motto "Don't make me think!")
That said, once you master the basics there are great posts that use interesting formatting or mystery as a hook.... [more]

My Ask MeFi
That's pretty sweet.
I check the "popular" pretty often, so it might be redundant, but maybe there could be an option for including any question over X number of favorites, regardless if it is within your categories or tags.

Metafilter Infodump: more stats than you can shake a stick at.
Is there a list for most favorited comments (24 hours/week/month/all time)?

Yes
Kind of. Filtering comments only and being able to do all time (and monthly) would be nice.
(Oh, I see... comments on the right.. the layout is a little confusing there... still, all time would be nice).

MeFi Mail is here
This is cool. Adds to the BBS feel. Now how about TradeWars 2002?

Not cool....

Just out of curiosity - Were you a BBSer? Did you...
Yes in High School. Area code 218. The Wormhole. PegaSys software (based on WWIV, similar to RENEGADE). 1995-1996ish.
It was 14.4 but I BBSed for a couple years at 2400 on a Mac.
Even though it was on the tail end of the years of BBSing's popularity, it was still tons of fun.

Dear ask.mefi, how can I fuck over my friend while...
Just because the question is deleted doesn't mean they will give up on it in real life. And maybe they'll get worse advice elsewhere after they are shot down on MeFi.
Might as well leave the question and try to guide them as ethically and legally as possible. And if it's a terrible idea, tell them so and why.
