Penn State horror story
Thinking about it a little more, my best guess is it is something that they have been thinking about and the GJ stuff proded them along faster.

Republican 2012 Nomination Thread
I wonder what the voter turnout would be for a Cain - Obama election.

Penn State horror story
It would be helpful to know what other things he may have done. This does seem somewhat normal for someone retiring and 84 years of age. Who knows, it may have something to do with his retirement. But, I can easily see that it is tied to the scandal.

What is your top Buehrle contract
Without out knowing what the ramifications would be with other negotiations, I would say 3/$42 with a decent mutual option for the 4th year. I would also like some list of maybe 5-6 teams that he would accept a trade.

#Occupythisthread
QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 11:02 PM) If you are ordered to clear the park, it isn't clear the park, except for the press. Common practice is to leave the press. Usually it is a protective measure for the government to have witnesses. Some people believe their handgun keeps the government at bay, others believe it is a free press. Sadly, the government, the very people the press keeps in check, has won the minds of the people to the extent that the independent voice is silenced and the people only will believe the government. But as long as the government feeds them their ideological substenance, life is good.

Server to server speeds
Maybe I picked a poor example, thinking about internet architecture we have the speed individuals can connect through the various providers, then we have a second speed that for example a server talks to another server, how fast can that go.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) There are many other charities not run by child rapists that can take its place. Yes there are. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 09:57 AM) Making $130,000 a year by running a charity? That may be commonplace, but it sounds so wrong. Their budget was in the tens of millions with a donor list of Fortune 100 companies. You don't send some $30,000 kid after those. We argue this in Boy Scouts all the time, do you want to pay a guy $20,000 who raises $40,000 or pay a guy $80,000 to raise $200,000?

Server to server speeds
QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 09:36 AM) What exactly does this mean? Are you talking about networking speeds between two servers on the same network? That would depend on the network, be it wired or wireless, etc. These days, it's pretty standard to have 100mbit speeds between servers. Gigabit also exists, but I doubt most people have it. I have 450mbit wireless on a few of my computers, and 54mbit wireless on others. In any case, for most things, any of those speeds are fine...and some are downright excessive. Actually I was thinking internet server to server. For example when Google is crawling through soxtalk, what kind of speeds are they able to achieve?

Sox could lose Comp pick for Buehrle
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 12:23 PM) Changing it in the middle of the offseason? That is just a horrible idea. Seriously, that is just incompetent. I can understand the union wanting this as soon as possible. Now what are they willing to give up to achieve that and will it be enough for the owners to go along with it.

#Occupythisthread
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 didn't just turn and run... I made sure it stopped..." No Sparky, it continued because YOU didn't go to the police with an eye witness account.

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 . . .- What is your favorite Ventura moment?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 14, 2011 -> 08:25 AM) You aren't watching the same Obama that I am apparently. We aren't, we're watching someone we agree with much of the time and you are watching someone you disagree with most of the time.- Republican 2012 Nomination Thread
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.- Quietly so no one sees . . .
Tsk Tsk, playing it safe Balta? Be a crash test dummy for software! - Congrats YASNY!
