    QUOTE (JPN366 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Those of you who have one, I just got one and wanted recommendations on fun or useful apps. Even though my wife works for Sprint Corporate, she's not very familiar with the Evo. Chase Banking app is finally out. Not sure what took so long.
  6. Why not take a break from this thread? It's been 200 consecutive hours for you.
  7. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) Read that post he cited. We stop terrorist attacks because of intelligence, not because of screening. The TSA simply reacts to what the intelligence community tells it to react to. Terrorists bring on weapons and take over plans - metal detectors and locks on the cabin doors. Hiding weapons in shoes - take your shoes off. Potential bomb making materials in liquids - limit the size of them. Hiding a bomb in your underwear - full on cavity searches. Next they'll swallow balloons/condoms with bomb making substances.
  8. My day would be better if work ended right now.
  9. Dude, I was just messing around. Take it easy.
  10. Blast this punk! *points to Storm Trooper*
  11. Zeta Jones, Catherine = my choice
  12. Check out two trailers for Family Guy's Return Of The Jedi parody, It's A Trap!
  13. This description of a pat down made me angry.
  14. A great read on the subject. EDIT: This gem was embedded in the article.
  15. Obama and his bipartisan efforts.
  16. QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) I'm really torn on this because I am trying to look at it as a baseball fan, a baseball team owner, and someone who appreciates history. As a sports fan: The park, as it stands today, is a dump. It's a load of crap. The views are great, the ambiance is great, but the parks amenities and overall seating space is pathetic. There is NO parking, but public transit is good, but not everyone has easy access to public transit to Wrigley. As an owner: I know that Wrigley is "the draw", not the team. Yes, people come to see the Cubs play, but Wrigley is one of the few parks that is filled no matter how bad the team is. Pittsburgh doesnt sell out and they have a ncie new park. Neither does Cincy. What's the difference? Wrigley. So, moving to a new park in the burbs or elsewhere in the city destroys your ability to draw fans when the team is down. However, a nice new ballpark gives you options to new revenue (parking, luxury boxes, more places for advertising) History: Wrigley is a classic. So is Fenway. But so was Yankee Stadium, Ebbets Field, Polo Grounds, Boston Gardens, and Chicago Stadium What do they all have in common? They're all gone. They all had great histories, but for a variety of reasons, they are all gone. You cant cling to history as a crutch. Do you want to be know as the Yankees (not "that team that plays in Yankee Stadium) or the Cubs ("that team that plays in Wrigley")? I do believe that Wrigley can be saved. They plans they showed are pretty impressive. But at what cost? Is it really work $400 million to try and rehab something old? The Yankees tried it, and 40 years later they built a new stadium. There are a ton of terrible seats in that place with obstructed views.
  17. God only has 10 recommended rules to follow.
  18. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 12:16 PM) Bad 2k5. The i can't be capitalized. Could you please relax on your stringent rules?
  19. QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) I saw this on ESPN the other day. Ridiculous. Jeter is worth nowhere near that as a player, and at 37 years old coming off his worst season, isn't likely to get any better. It must be nice to have so much money that you can afford to pay a player that much money for his charisma, leadership, and being a fan-favorite rather than his skills. Oh, and I really can't believe he wants more. He has no leverage at all. No one else is going to offer him anything close to that. What do you mean?! He won the Gold Glove!
  20. I find it funny that David Cross' real father is from Leeds. (Todd Margaret reference)
  21. QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 09:33 AM) Remember all that talk about Death Panels? In order to save 4.5 million dollars, and facing a 1.5 billion dollar shortfall in the state's budget, Republican run Arizona sort of started one by rescinding previously approved organ transplants. http://www.npr.org/2010/11/11/131215308/ar...splants-at-risk
