Of course, these rules have been modified to limit early voting only to weekday working hours in heavily Democratic areas. Why are you trying to take away the voting rights of our troops?

So, watching the olympics, it's pretty amazing seeing peak Lebron James. I'm pretty sure it's just in the books the heat will win 2 in a row.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) Another day, another banking scandal. This time it's a British bank laundering Iranian money in the US. How devoid of any sort of morals or sense of country can you be?

I ride my bike to work. So f*** that guy.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 07:42 PM) Mo' betta' images. Those are creepy as hell.

Mizzou has had 3 offensive lineman lost to season ending injuries this week. Only 1 starter, luckily, and he is replaced by 4star recruit Evan Boehm. Very nervous about this.

That article ended so suddenly I thought I was missing something.

That chart is really the best of both worlds for both arguments.

Amazingly, a chart was attached!

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:51 PM) Oh, no, it's a serious concern. Because like you pointed out, inflation should be way higher than it is...so the only logical explanation is deflationary pressure is holding that number down, which is why it's only 1-3%. http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2012/0...irrelevant.html

It appears the weather is republican.

Who would even leak something like this in August during a pennant race?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 03:00 PM) Shouldn't be an issue, all you have to do is look up what kind of ram you're currently using and buy the same type...Amazon and Newegg pretty much ask what system you have, from what year, and show you exactly what kind of memory to buy. I bought 8 gigs for my iMac for 40 bucks off NewEgg and it worked perfectly. I bought it with my comp. Haven't seen that in amazon though. Where?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 03:20 PM) You are a troll man, what the f*** is the point of this post other than to get people to disagree with you? "Hey guys, I know that I chose to enter a political sub forum on the website, and I just want you to know that by doing so, I think the entire board has become political, and I don't like it. Neener, neener neenner!" Thanks for the opinion, but for the 15-20 people that post here regularly we enjoy the back and forth (speaking for myself anyway). I disagree with SS on just about everything, but I still enjoy arguing with him (and others obviously). well said.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 02:50 PM) Oh, the biggest rip off at Apple is buying ram from them. So long as you can add your own ram, never *ever* buy memory from Apple. it's a huge pain in the ass, i've made 3 incorrect online orders of RAM who incorrectly promised it'd work on my mac as well ... fpptthhhh

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 02:00 AM) Actually, the discussion is terrible. In fili, you're allowed to take personal shots at posters because everybody thinks they're right and everybody else is wrong. That's why i stay out of here. i wouldn't last two seconds in here without getting accused of trolling. Then I would get warned by a mod and eventually suspended if i didn't succumb. :crying :crying :crying :crying

we have no previous examples of fake rumors about upcoming apple products.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) I think that was the most I've ever overreacted after a Sox trade or game. I was not happy about that one. BMAC was such a fan favorite, it was understandable. I was really happy for him this year.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) Apple makes very solid products. I would never expect them to make a bad one. That creates brand loyalty. Most people don't understand specs. They just want the product to work and work well, and if they've had good experiences with apple, it's snowballed. But it's really hard to innovate. I have a hard time believing this next decade will be anywhere close to the previous. It's very possible by the end of this decade, apple will have as bad a reputation as microsoft does now.

I don't have the time to search, but, I remember being cautious about Robin in that role, but I really bought in that this was a signal that the next 3 years would be brutal. It made sense they would hire this guy cheaply to oversee some re-building years. The offseason that followed saw no meaningful signings or trades that brought in anything to help now. It really was hard to grasp that the team could merely improve from it's deathpit of 2011. Also remember, that 2011 team for a lot of us was the most unlikeable sox team I've ever watched. I wanted them to doubledown with a real baseball guy as a sign of good faith, and they ended up bringing one in, just one we didn't know had it in him.

http://www.owldolatrous.com/?p=288&fwc...;fwcl=1&fwl I know posting a long-article in this forum is like not posting anything at all, but it's a big issue that requires deep thoughts. And I think he nailed it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) Just keep ignoring the fact that the people supposedly defending the notion of equal rights and equal acceptance are the same people that feel so much hate and animosity towards a specific group of people. At least I'm not going to write any laws to take away their basic rights.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) Is because Apple has a huge marketing campaign. Microsoft is the only other company I can ever remember advertising their mp3 players on TV a lot. Possibly the Dell DJ, but when you are constantly seeing something advertised on TV, you are going to think about it first. Ask anyone you know, and almost all of them you ask will say Apple invented the mp3 player. They were never the first, they were just the loudest. Just because you are unaware of other companies that produce products doesn't mean a whole lot other than you aren't looking in to alternatives, and they don't advertise as much. Part of making a product successful is getting people to buy it. It also helped that it was a very good mp3 player. Those mp3 cd players were garbage. There are a million products that may be good but don't take off, and those companies have no one to blame but themselves. Apple was not a major player in the early 00s. The imac was kinda getting more popular. Ipod took off because it was a really good product. If you would have made a bet it 00 on who would make the next big music device, i would have probably bet sony.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 08:06 PM) I get the argument here, it is just a flat out wrong assumption being made by the author. Look no further than the US. There are more women than men in the US. Would anyone argue that they have privilege in this country? That is just an awful basis for an argument. I concede the point.
