  1. I'd rather watch Extreme Baseball, where every performance enhancing drug is allowed, then a mini-league of 160 pound accounting types (hi Kap! ) 600 foot homeruns! The drug companies could sponsor the teams. Kind of like WWF meets the MLB
  2. It would be impossible to enforce a rule that simply states "performance enhancing drugs are against the rules". Coffee could enhance performance. There has to be a list of banned drugs, or banned categories of drugs. I am not saying what they did was right, clearly it wasn't within anyone's definition of fair play and sportsmanship. I am just pointing out that IMHO baseball really didn't care if Shammee and McGuire were juiced up as long as they increased television viewer ship, put asses in the stands, and hit home runs. For the real power brokers in baseball, the players are commodities, tools, overpriced talent they have to put up with. But they know long after the player is retired with a bad back and acne scars, they will still be there with new players.
  3. Which leads to the most obsurd part in all this. Why isn't anything that is illegal in "real life" also against the rules in baseball? One simple line at the end of the rulebook. Use small words so everyone can understand.
  4. You know what pisses me off? If Frank Thomas cared a little more about the team and the fans and less about himself, he could have juiced up and won the HR title. He would have 500+ already. I am absolutely convinced that Frank never did steroids. If it was ever proven he did, I'd be more dejected that a 10 year old that just found out there is no Santa.
  5. Run of the mill, available anywhere -- Snickers Special, only available in certain places -- Portable S'mores on the south rim of the Chisos Mountains. Mix some crushed graham crackers with some rich chocolate pudding and some marshmallow "fluff". Eat with a spoon out of a thermal mug. When finished make coffee in the mug and enjoy a mocha.

    Worst Books

    You did realize they were retarded? Did the local references, that were wrong, also hurt the book? The worse book I read lately was my checkbook after a little Christmas shopping.
  7. L. Ron Hubbard I remember the ads for the book. :fthecubs

    Death penalty...??

    The amount of time it takes to investigate and analyze the evidence does take a long time. I agree, if we are going to have the death penalty, the system could be sped up. However, IMHO the death . . . Does not act as a deterrent. Check murder rates in states with and without and there is little difference. Look at Texas where we have an assembly line and wear the death chamber out, not much difference in the murder rate. Violent criminals know their lives could be taken by rival gang members, other drug dealers, etc. In a sense, they already live on death row. Crimes of passion occur so quickly the murderer doesn't think about possible punishment, either do the psychopaths. Scott could have taken Laci on a trip to a state without the death penalty and killed her there if he was worried. He didn't. Most don't think they will be caught. The death penalty is too slow and expensive. Life in Prison without parole ends the cycle faster and if extraordinary circumstances warrant, a new trail can happen. Killing someone must be done after all possibilities are exhausted. The slow trial also means the victims families relive the moment for years and years. The expense is huge, much more than life in prison. Most people who are on death row are poor and required public assistance attorneys. Tax payers wind up paying both sides of the bill. If we are going to kill someone, shouldn't they have access to all the tools that could prove they did not commit the crime? I will not go into my religious beliefs and why I believe God doesn't not want us killing.

    Death penalty...??

    I didn't follow the trial close enough to make a judgment. My presumption as soon as the news reports talked about a missing pregnant, wife was just move to the husbands trial. It's always the husband. Of course our legal system doesn't function that way. He should be spending the rest of his life in prison learning cooking skills like tossing salads. The point the anchor makes is interesting. Killing him would double the amount of parents visiting their kids graves. It may offer some revenge for Laci's family, but it would be shallow and not bring her back.
  10. All bugmenot has done is created a user name and password sharing program. The equivelent is me telling you my log in at LA Times is Wickermonkey and my password is whitesox Someone has to create an account and share it with everyone. If you have to give a credit card to subscribe, most people will not share it. There are boards to go that post user name and passwords for various sites. Bugmenot was the first to automate the process.
  11. Someone is gay on Will and Grace??
  12. bugmenot will almost always work on free websites, but not pay per view. I use it for several newspaper sites like the Cubune which I gave up trying to register. I first eard of it on a Tech TV show. I find it ironic I use it there to log into their site. Hmm, I wonder if it works here?

    Death penalty...??

    Not what about the criminal, what about the convicted that were later proved to be innocent? The one principle that has allowed out system of justice to be the best the world has ever seen, is our willingness to allow 9 guilty men to go free to prevent an innocent man to be convicted. We place a hgh burden of proof on the state and federal government to convict and we all can sleep easier tonight knowing that is true. Saddam had a much swifter justice system, want to trade?? Until the time that we can bring someone back to life, we must be 10 times 100% certain of the person's guilt. Just one comment for those that think the death penalty is a deterrent. How many gang murders have occurred in Chicago this year? Each gang member knows they could be killed at almost any moment. Do you think they worry for a moment that the state might execute them?
  14. And coke doesn't tell you how they are better than Pepsi or Miller vs. Budweiser. Apply the same advertising standards as you would a resort, or restaurant.
  15. I enjoyed a nice breakfast taco of refried beans, eggs, american cheese, bacon and washed it down with a nice carton of egg nog on my way to Mexico this morning. Heart Healthy
  16. Let's remember it was not against the rules of baseball at the time.
  17. He wouldn't let me :-) I don't even know if I have any old 5 1/4 floppies laying around.
  18. Currently the system has an AMD Athlon 2700+, 1 gig of ram, a SoundBlaster card, DVD burner, CD Burner, old fashioned floppy drive (I wanted to add a 5 1/4 for laughs) The video card will be the final step for a few days, maybe even months. One thing I thought of is he does not have cable TV in his room. To take full advantage of this card, he would need a direct cable feed, not from the network.
  19. #1 son and I are building a gaming, home entertainment PC. I am looking at this video board and wondering what they mean by able to share the features on a network. Anyone have any experience with this all-in-wonder card? Newegg link
