QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 10:20 AM) I feel moderately sympathetic to the Occupy goals. I just wish they had a leadership, an actual goal, an actual objective other than camping out until some undefined thing happens. I want to support this movement, I think its heart is in the right place. I just wish they actually had a brain to go with it. Thank you, I wish I had wrote that. I couldn't find the right words. As it stands now, I am now of the thought that they need to stop and go home.

I know a couple people around here run servers, I was wondering what are the server to server speeds?

This is a clear sign they are in rebuilding mode after a terrible season . . .

Cain's wife said he couldn't have done it, he respects women. His wife would know, so that's good enough for me.

Very well, shall we change your screen name to Luddite1701?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 14, 2011 -> 08:10 AM) wait, Obama doesn't come off as condescending? lol. It is interesting how ideology shades how we hear and react to things. I reacted like Balta, I don't see Obama even close to Newt on that scale. I also believe Newt is more of an intellectual than Obama. So far he's my #2 in the GOP field.

Tsk Tsk, playing it safe Balta? Be a crash test dummy for software!

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) VOLUNTARY. Union dues deductions, NOT VOLUNTARY. The why should employers take out involuntary items like taxes and wage garnishments?

QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 08:08 AM) I just pushed the larger mug button. I think that's 8 oz. There is no doubt that the K-cups are the best thing going for pods, but if I have time to make coffee, I rather the drip. I'm just a little surprised you find the taste weak. I kind of grew up on cowboy coffee, toss a cup of grounds in cold water and boil. Add a little cold water and swing the pot in an arc to settle the grounds. Sip and chew.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) Nothing replaces a french press for REAL coffee...nothing. In comparison to french press, if made properly, nothing comes close. As for variety, there is actually MORE variety with a french press than K-Cup, it's not even close. You can take ANY coffee bean and grind it to suit a french press. How could you possibly claim there is more variety in K-Cup when that's clearly not the case. I wouldn't keep 10 pounds of beans around, I do keep a couple hundred K-cups. When I order I usually pick eight different 24 packs. I do know ordering a minimum of a pound of each bean would be a little crazy, but much more economical. You must be sticking your tongue out at that bad coffee you just drank

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 08:31 AM) What is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell me about? My podcasts are NPR's This American Life and the Adam Corolla Show. And for fans of This American Life, there was apparently a show made out of it (lasted two seasons) and is definitely worth checking out if you can find it. Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me is a news quiz show, and usually good for four to five real good laughs. I originates from Chicago but has a national focus. There are some good reoccurring segments and usually good guests. I would call it a comedy about the news if that makes sense.

I only listen to a couple but one thing that frustrates me is not being able to fast forward or rewind while using my iPod. Are there better programs for listening to podcasts? Either for an iPad or Android phone? And, to keep this all things podcast, what podcasts are y'all listening to? I usually will download two NPR shows, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and Cartalk.

Just wondering, how did Mark become indebted to the organization that he should give a hometown discount? Isn't that like the employee buying the owner a gold watch?

QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 10, 2011 -> 08:03 AM) I've used a Kuerig for about 5 years and recently went back to a traditional brewer. The amount of coffee in the K-cups is not enough to give proper flavor. I love the conveniece of the k-cups but if you compare the taste side by side, it isn't equal. How large of a mug are you trying to fill? I replaced my french press with the K-cups and love it. I especially love the variety. No way with a french press or traditional brewer I would have so many different coffees available. Currently I am choosing from Dunkin' Donuts, Folgers, Timothy's Donut House, Tree Hugger organic, Jet Fuel, Van Houte Colombian, Emeril's Big and Bold, and a Caribou Morning Blend. Some are much more mild than others, I enjoy the differences. I had one friend tell me the Keurig was too "thin". He was watching it brew and it looked too clear to him. But any liquid pushing in a small enough stream will look clear, even used motor oil. We put his regular coffee in a medicine squeeze thingy and it looked just as thin.

Margaritas and some damn delicious Mexican food at a favorite little joint.

BTW, based on what I have read so far and believing that at least 5 employees are involved, I would be in favor of no bowl games for five years, reductions in the number of scholarships, substantial payments to the victims and to child abuse prevention organizations.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) It's not a matter of punishment, Tex. It's a matter of responsibility. The first responsibility is to be certain no further abuse is happening. I believe that has happened. The victims are not Penn State students. Shutting down the program would not prevent one of the employees from further abusing a kid. Unless I missed something, it seems like the most attention should be on the foundation, not Penn State, to prevent further abuse. This was a former employee using a facility. Is it really much different than shutting down a hotel he might have used? Or did I miss how he was accessing 10 year-olds through a University? Now if new evidence uncovers additional abusers at the university, then they need to be prosecuted. I just do not see how firing secretaries, trainers, media liaisons, travel secretaries, ticket agents, grounds crew, all who had nothing to do with this will help anyone.
