  1. And just for clarifications sake the first year Mark made his comments at this luncheon he was talking to Walt Jockety GM of the Cards and said something to the effective of he needed to do what he could to bring him home.
  2. How many games a year do you go to?
  3. Talk to me when the offense wakes up. Until then, don't believe the hype.
  4. Have people heard Rowlings story? IIRC she was a divorced single mother who wanted to write something for her kids to read. Now she is world reknowned and richer than the royal family.
  5. The cartoon with all of the farm animals? Yeah it was US acres.
  6. Whitesnake didnt make it. Thats bullcrap! I think you messed up your post. you needed to leave out "didn't make it" and add a comma after whitesnake.
  7. The other comic that needs some props in here is non sequir
  8. The catcher never tagged him. The ump was out of position and blew the call. SURPRISE!
  9. Tom Candiotti is the only other knuckler that I can think of that Frank would have hit against.
  10. THE BOONDOCKS f***ING RULES!!! GET MY BACK ON THIS APU!
  11. Apu that is hysterical a congressman a hypocrate, say it aint so! As for Jefferson vs Hamilton, I like the IDEA of the independance behind the uptopian ideals of Jeff. Instead of the welfare socialistic state that we have become. The whole purpose of government was the protection of the people from forgien invasion. Now the government is the nations single biggest employer and landholder. It isn't supposed to be that way...
  12. that is an amazingly common misperception - these are the same people who gave you the Patroit Act and believe in every type of law to legislate what you do in private in your bedroom and what medical procedures you can have and what the limits are you can be paid when your doctor commits malpractice Not surprizing the repubican chair of the Senate judicary committee would propose this It is a very common misconception. They want business to be completely separate from government, but they want to tell individuals what to do. It is hypocracy to me. I just wrote you into my will. I am a very big believer in the Jeffersonian Utopian Farmer government ideals. Government was never meant to be the determining factor in our lives. I don't care who it is, both side of the aisle do it, then accuse the other of being hypocrates.

  14. LOL. Ugly why is that board like crack to you? Put the pipe down man!
  15. No. No. No. Two rules I have: avoid all exCubs and avoid all exTigers and I would add a third and fourth, avoid all exMarlins and exDRays. Once you've been cut from those four teams, you have no where else to go but die because if you were any good at all thoise teams wouldn't lose you. Plus I prefer Carlos who has done some good things for us to a player who has been let go off by some of the worst organizations in baseball. I would hestitate to include the Marlins in that list. They have the ability to identify and develop talent. They just can't afford to keep it.
  16. It has cost us runs. When it becomes a negative, then it is lazy. It would be a laid back attitude if he was playing hard when he needed to be.
  17. He is lazy and lacks focus on the field. That is the problem that I have with him.
  18. Illegally download copyright music from the Internet once, or even twice, and you get a warning. Do it a third time, and your computer gets destroyed. That's the suggestion made by the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee (news - web sites) at a Tuesday hearing on copyright abuse, reflecting a growing frustration in Congress over failure of the technology and entertainment industries to protect copyrights in a digital age. The surprise statement by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, that he favors developing technology to remotely destroy computers used for illegal downloads represents a dramatic escalation in the increasingly contentious rhetoric over pirated music. During a discussion of methods to frustrate computer users who illegally exchange music and movie files over the Internet, Hatch asked technology executives about ways to damage computers involved in such file trading. Legal experts have said any such attack would violate federal anti-hacking laws. "No one is interested in destroying anyone's computer," replied Randy Saaf of MediaDefender Inc., a secretive Los Angeles company that builds technology to deliberately download pirated material very slowly so other users can't. "I'm interested," Hatch interrupted. He said damaging someone's computer "may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights." The senator, a composer who earned $18,000 last year in song-writing royalties, acknowledged Congress would have to enact an exemption for copyright owners from liability for damaging computers. He endorsed technology that would twice warn a computer user about illegal online behavior, "then destroy their computer." "If we can find some way to do this without destroying their machines, we'd be interested in hearing about that," Hatch said. "If that's the only way, then I'm all for destroying their machines. If you have a few hundred thousand of those, I think people would realize" the seriousness of their actions. "There's no excuse for anyone violating copyright laws," Hatch said. Some legal experts suggested Hatch's provocative remarks were more likely intended to compel technology and music executives to work faster toward ways to protect copyrights online than to signal forthcoming legislation. "It's just the frustration of those who are looking at enforcing laws that are proving very hard to enforce," said Orin Kerr, a George Washington University law professor and former Justice Department (news - web sites) cybercrimes prosecutor. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the committee's senior Democrat, later said the problem is serious but called Hatch's suggestion too drastic. "The rights of copyright holders need to be protected, but some Draconian remedies that have been suggested would create more problems than they would solve," Leahy said in a statement. "We need to work together to find the right answers, and this is not one of them." Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., urged Hatch to reconsider. Because Hatch is Judiciary chairman, "we all take those views very seriously," he said. But Kerr said Congress was unlikely to approve any bill to enable such remote computer destruction by copyright owners "because innocent users might be wrongly targeted." A spokesman for the Recording Industry Association of America (news - web sites), Jonathan Lamy, said Hatch was "apparently making a metaphorical point that if peer-to-peer networks don't take reasonable steps to prevent massive copyright infringement on the systems they create, Congress may be forced to consider stronger measures." The RIAA represents the major music labels. The entertainment industry has gradually escalated its fight against Internet file-traders, targeting the most egregious pirates with civil lawsuits. The RIAA recently won a federal court decision making it significantly easier to identify and track consumers — even those hiding behind aliases — using popular Internet file-sharing software.
