QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 07:35 PM) CNN got overheated with their rhetoric. MSNBC got overheated with their rhetoric. Oh wait, you never hear that from Democrats. That's part of the problem. QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) What the f***'s that got to do with anything, we are talking about Tom Coburn and what he said about Fox, nothing else Seriously, kap, what the was the last relevant, meaningful post you had in the 'buster?

What lostfan and JCM said. Why are you guys having so many issues with your Wintel machines? I don't run any anti-virus and I'm not afraid of torrenting and I never have problems.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 09:43 AM) There's something amazing about the fact that we now live in a world where the legislature in CT is debating a bill that would extend the statue of limitations for child sexual abuse cases...and it is facing heated opposition from NAMBLA the Catholic Church. Jesus H. Christ.

I have nothing against the Zune, it's just that the iPod has so many more 3rd party devices and can be integrated much more into other systems. The network effect there is strong. The stereo in my fiance's car and my receiver at home can both directly control the iPod; there's more charges available; more speaker systems are made for it; more cases, protectors, etc.; more car stereo systems integrate directly. That's what made me pick the iPod over a competitor.

Ben looks like a total white trash scum bag in his statement. Also, I like that the DA all but said "yeah, we're 99% sure he raped her"

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) Honestly, they should have at it. It is more important that a potential President be investigated than a Senator. And at the end of the day, more often than Dems, Repubs usually do the decent thing and step away. I don't ever remember a Dem doing that. Ahahahahahahahaha.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) Pierre is a far better defensive OF than Pods is. They both have noodle arms, but Pierre is better in all other respects. For whatever it's worth, their WARPs were nearly identical last year (2.5 or so).

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) i hope we dont lose this game..i can just see a 1-0, 2-0 loss I see it just as easily going the other way.

beautiful swing right there. Ugh. I hate that it's still the first week of the season and I'm already sick of the same offense we've seen for years.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) And who started the real "politicing" of SCOTUS nominees? It took one hour for the Borkinization of SCOTUS nominees to begin by one Ted Kennedy. What is this in reference to? Honest question, I really don't know any history behind SCOTUS nominations.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 06:09 AM) The bigger issue is you can't cut taxes and then increase your spending by 10%. That obviously doesn't work. But it's been proven over and over that the revenues received goes higher when taxes are cut. It's just Congress is so stupid about it that we're left the other way.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) I predict our offense will be worse than at least 9 NL teams this year. There was a caller on B&B today saying they'd average around 1.6 runs/ game more than the 2005 team.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 10:00 PM) 2 Strikes, throw anything offspeed in the dirt, we'll swing, don't worry. The Story of Your 2000-2010 (+?) Chicago White Sox I'm glad we're three games in and already frustrated as hell.

TCQ! Hawk just blew out my crappy speakers on that yell.

QUOTE (goblue5699 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 06:08 PM) If you have just a converter but no box you don't get CLTV for some reason. One of my TVs gets CLTV and the other doesn't. I f***ing hate Comcast.

Ju...Ju...Ju...Just like the bad guys from Lethal Weapon 2 I got diplomatic immunity so Hammer, you can't sue

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) it's not that we insist apples can't get viruses, it's that we don't, and it's nice. I don't give a f*** if it's because people don't care since less people use them, it's still brilliant to have had a laptop for 5 years with absolutely zero problems when my friends with dells have gone through 2 or 3. No, my friend is completely technologically illiterate and thinks Apples are immune to getting viruses. FWIW, I haven't run anti-virus software on my PC for years and haven't had a virus. QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 12:12 AM) It's really not arrogance. It's the happiness that comes with owning a product that actually works like it is supposed to... Which, in this case, is limited and strictly-controlled functionality.

Yeah, this board has had more and more of a left-lean over the past 18 months or so. I think that's partly due to some of the more right-leaning posters becoming less active for various reasons. And yeah, I get the feeling that all conservatives are sometimes painted with the broad brush stroke of ignorance or stupidity. It shouldn't happen, but it gets implied sometimes, even if it wasn't intentional.

There's also a lot of ignorance-based apple fandom, like my friend who insists that Apples cannot get viruses.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) You act like I'm being inconsistent when I say that. Come on... don't lump stuff I say in with generic Democratic talking points, you know better than that kap stopped trying a while ago.

Paulie!

Nice sac by Paulie, 1-0.

I've been watching Lost from the beginning and I'm in to Season 2 know. Something I noticed before last night is that just about every Desmond episode involves a lot of flashbacks and a lot of playing the same scenes we've already seen. I found the later annoying the first time around but I'm wondering if that was intentional now.

Things are going much smoother (read: I actually have the cardio stamina for a full workout) in the second week. Doing p90X and a 20 mile bike ride on my "rest day" will do that, I guess. I switched over to cardio X this week because I'm not quite ready for the full plyo. Hopefully in a week or two I'll feel more comfortable with it.
