Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) It's happening again. I have Comcast internet and for the past few years, every time it gets really hot outside, my internet begins disconnecting. My router will not connect. Then nighttime comes or a day when it is cooler, and the internet works fine again. WTF? I have never heard of or experienced anything like this in my life. QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 04:45 PM) thats crazy, i was having the same issues the past couple days when it gets really hot out. This happens a lot in older plants. When we got up past 90 when Comcast owned the system here in Dallas, there would be certain places you could count on to lose service. Any type of electrical equipment that is older like this will over heat and shut down. Time Warner came in and upgraded - it happens a lot less frequently now because the old plant got replaced with fiber. I'd imagine there's still quite a few places in an older system that has older nodes and old copper technology.

Asking price for Edwin
LMAO. .220 hitters all over the lineup and they don't know where they'd put another bat. That's pathetic.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) They should've won in 2006 and had no business losing to the Warriors in '07. Back then you could get away with playing small forwards on Dirk for long stretches at a time because he wasn't always aggressive and settled for long jumpers. He's nothing like that now. True. He gets dirty more underneath, which makes that fadeaway of his that much more deadly. You cannot guard it one on one.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) Their offense just died. It was amazing to watch. LeBron pound the ball, shoot a low% desperation 3. Wade pound the ball, shoot a low% desperation 3 or long 2. Give Dallas all the credit in the world, though. They could've easily said f*** it and looked at the 3 games at home as their last crutch. This is their third double digit deficit in the 4 Q that they've come back and won in the playoffs. Of course, they choked a 23 point lead vs Portland too, but meh. They're pretty tenacious.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 10:48 PM) It's a shame it's taken Dirk so long to truly mature and evolve as a basketball player. Dallas would have at least a couple titles by now. They haven't had anyone in the middle to support him AT ALL until this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) The top of the 4th was the worst managed inning of Ozzie's career, in my opinion. He needs to take his ass and go to the National League. Wow, the worst? And you remember some bad ones. Recent bias performance, anyone?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 30, 2011 -> 04:06 PM) Sorry Balta, but I think 2/3rds of soxtalk folks already evaluated this team. But, I still see around all-star break as the time to start scratching our heads 2/3rds had their evaluations done on April 30.

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 30, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) The problem is those teams you listed are saying the same things about this team. "Let's not sell just yet, we still have games with the XXXX,ZZZZ,White Sox, YYYYY...." Like the whole AL Central. Everyone's "all in" it because they play the White Sox. Oh, the irony.

That's the last line... but are they going to wait another 30-45 minutes and resume?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 24, 2011 -> 09:56 PM) Looks like new cells are popping up west of Arlington. Hopefully after that passes, they can finish it. Floyd on 4 days rest? WHACK. I'm waiting for my windows to break. The field drains well here... but I wonder if they will wait for this line to come through. This is round 4.
