QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 3, 2009 -> 09:41 AM) You don't have a box (converter)? Not for this TV. As near as I can tell, the only benefit would be to get the channels straight. Oh and maybe to have sex with shipps again.

I did

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ May 3, 2009 -> 09:58 AM) Nope, it's the NATIONAL Football League. No dice London. Well, how about the WORLD Series in London?

QUOTE (shipps @ May 3, 2009 -> 08:27 AM) Why the f*** should we let them get that revenue to their city ? We as in the US taxpayer? Certainly you jest. "We", in this case, is the NFL, who does not see extra revenue from the hotel rooms, meals, etc. So the question then becomes why would the NFL not take more money, expand their market, and play the game overseas? As NSS points out, many NFL teams are automatically blocked from having it in their city. So for those teams it is all about the revenue. I would rather the game go to the previous years winner.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 3, 2009 -> 08:48 AM) Yes. It would save a lot of money on detectives.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 2, 2009 -> 10:18 PM) Everything's all touchy, feely, emotion. Which is the human element. If not, we could just program a computer to decide. Once it is accepted that humans need to decide, than it becomes more important to have a balance of opinions, experiences, etc. on the court. A range of humans making decisions, IMNSHO, is better than eight clones. If it was that cut and dried, why have eight? Certainly one could figure it out. And if it isn't about opinions, but facts, why do we need more than one level of court?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 2, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) a total waste of resources. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 2, 2009 -> 09:41 PM) You have described in 5 words America's entire war on drugs. QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ May 3, 2009 -> 07:49 AM) I'm not sure anyone has suggested that drug investigations like this one be eliminated, but I don't see how there's any disputing that this one was ultimately a collossal waste of time and money.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 2, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) a total waste of resources. Would you eliminate then all *investigations* like this? It seems pretty easy to decide after the investigation, which ones should have been conducted.

Some nice parallels to Reagan, especially spending spending spending. He is following a less than inspired leader and has charisma and charm. He is winning me over, but he is facing bigger challenges than any President in recent memory. If he was playing center, instead of centralist, we would have had him judged 98 days ago. Where the hell is the Soxtalk rush to judgment? I am appalled.

Terrible news.

Wow, everyone assumed I meant Junior? Do you mean that is the only future hall of famer on the list??

I'm going with the future hall of famer

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 2, 2009 -> 02:40 PM) Why? I can get you one from one of my old co-workers, but why? After the TV did the channel scan, it found all the channels, but they are not the same as the guide or the station listing. If I want to watch, for example, TLC-HD the guide will list it as channel 251, as will the channel lineup from Time Warner. However, it is 84-4 on my Vizio TV. Disney HD, which is 126 in the guide is 84-3. Al of the digital channels have different designations. Unless there is an easier way . . .

I am looking for a channel listing of my local cable company, Time Warner, based on the digital frequency, not the channel number. The guides are of no help because without a external box, the channel line up is completely different.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 01:10 PM) Would I ever do that? Wood eye?

We *import* a majority of our food, from grain to beef. Something I have been rallying about for years. The American farmer is now a multinational corporation. The only saving grace is much of our land is still intact for farming, if we become that desperate. Of course the land is still agriculture because of the subsidies farmers receive for keeping it that way. Once we close the borders, the tourism trade is destroyed. We also have a net import of tourist dollars, so we lose that. The whole idea is just crazy.

Actually, I think they were looking for Michael Phelps

I am wondering if it played out where they started the investigation expecting more, after a year they decided to wrap it up with what they had. If the cops knew exactly what they would find, it would not be called an investigation.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2009 -> 05:25 PM) So lives are now worth a cost benefit analysis? Interesting change of liberal philosophy. I am not understanding who you are directing this at? Balta? CDC? Obama?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 1, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) Grylls is nothing more than eye candy for the Discovery Channel, the person with a strange name and rugged good looks that will draw in viewers. If someone wants to learn more, and watch a more realistic view of isolation in the wilderness, they'll watch Survivorman. But if they truly want to learn how to survive in the wilderness, they will not look at either. While they often times have good advice, other times they seem to be playing for ratings.

I'll take my own chances, thank you. I'd rather not be relying on anyone else. As far as the shows, I cringe at both at times, and other times, applaud.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ May 1, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) Wusses. /immune to peer pressure

Not just no thank you, no f***ing way. As crazy as the one over the Grand Canyon

One thought I just had, it seems we call every guy without a top fastball a pitcher and every guy with a 96+ fast ball a thrower. Seems too easy and over simplified.
