Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) There are a few things you can do to improve signal quality in your home. 1) Placement of the router itself. If at all possible, a central location where all rooms are of equal distance from the router is optimal. Keep the router away from metal (if you know a wall is full of water pipes, move it away from that wall a bit.) 2) Name both the 5ghz and 2ghz SSID's the exact same name. IE: Don't name one Chiliheads 2ghz, and the other Chiliheads 5ghz. Devices that can connect to the faster 5ghz band will do so, but if that signal is unable to penetrate the walls or degrades, it will drop down to the 2ghz band of the same name, automatically. 3) For the 2ghz band, the channel you broadcast the signal is important, as some of the frequencies are saturated. For 2ghz broadcast, channels 1, 6 and 11 are the only channels that don't overlap, so they're usually optimal, however, I'd avoid channel 6 since it's the default and most people use it...so go with 1 or 11. 4) For the 5ghz band keep in mind with the higher frequency, while faster, it does not penetrate walls well. Depending on your building, you will have to experiment to find the proper (most unused channel) in your area. To expand on this, if you have a smartphone or tablet, there are good wifi analytic apps available. Wifi Analyzer is a good Android one, and it's free.

6/30 White Sox at Cardinals
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 11:18 PM) How soon after this run scores does Caulfield post something about the "Cardinal Way"? I'm sure he has a thousand words at the ready.

Chris Sale is filthy. His strikeouts to walks ratio is absurd. BUT, he obviously just doesn't have that TWTW.

2015-16 NHL thread
QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) Anyone else following this Mike Richards buy out, now "termination" of his contract? Looks like the Kings are trying to get out of that 10 year salary cap hit. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 29, 2015 -> 02:48 PM) Whoa. I wonder what the story is. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 11m11 minutes ago On LA terminating Mike Richards' contract for "material breach," there are myriad reasons why details can't be made public at this time. http://kings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=772865 He was at a club doing a "comedy" routine, but it was really a barrage of racism.

More evidence of Chicago media turning on Ventura
So to sum up thread, re-hire Ozzie Guillen, hire Hawk as GM, trade Chris Sale. That will make going cold-turkey off the Sox reeeealy easy.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 28, 2015 -> 01:41 PM) How much do you pay for that programming if you don't mind my asking? I don't remember, but I think it comes out to around $200 / season.

Supreme Court to Decide Whether Gays Nationwide Can Marry
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 26, 2015 -> 05:12 PM) It's strange to me how many people cannot grasp the difference between the ruling today and the government dictating morals. You still have the right to be a closed minded biggot if you want to. Wait, so I don't have to marry a dude? Phew.

How come they don't read emails / tweets like they did when Hawk was out? That could be interesting.
