Collins's throws aren't even close to the receivers. We are talking like 2005 Kyle Orton, except Orton was a rookie.

Nothing like a good old fashioned ass whipping to make one feel better

I wonder when Aromashodu is going to be activated? If you take longer to learn the offense than Earl Bennett and Devin Hester you should stop flying on the team's charter flight and take the shortest bus possible to the game.

Sorry to hear that Congrats, brother!

Looking at Jim's comment makes me want some beer.

I'm not actually sure where to start with this

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 8, 2010 -> 12:13 AM) If it means recovering all my files, I might have to bite the bullet. Just took HDD out of the freezer, lets see how this works. Try it longer... like 5 hours

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 11:48 PM) Just popped it in...if this works lost, I owe you five years of my life. I wish I had been able to recover the documents the most...oh god... Does anyone know if Best Buy can do some decent data recovery? If you got like 300 bucks and there's nothing better for you to do with it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 11:34 PM) I wonder if Minnesota fans are mad at Gardy. Probably. They really don't like him all that much from what I've seen

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 11:27 PM) Wait, what? http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/f...cover-data.html Not exactly the most foolproof or advanced method but there's enough people I've heard say it works for me to believe it. It's kind of a "what do you really have to lose" proposition, if you're lucky you might get the hard drive to spin just long enough to recover some data, if not, well your hard drive was f***ed before, and it's still f***ed. Otherwise you could pay a s***load of money to a professional to copy all the data the hard way. I've only ever had one HDD fail and it didn't work, I guess mine was pretty thorough when it killed itself.

Hard drive in the freezer sometimes works long enough to get the parts moving to copy the files onto another drive (if the drive isn't already completely f***ed)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 10:15 PM) Speaking of bubbles... Gold is ridiculous right now. Once the economy shows any real signs of recovery, gold is going to fall at least 50%, if not back to something like $500. I have 50 shares of IAU (about $600-700, I don't remember what I paid for it though) but no way would I buy more of it right now at this inflated price, that's money that could be spent on some dividend stocks at a cheap price or even buy like 100 shares of AMD and wait for it to regain value in a couple of years (I think the company is worth a lot more than what it's trading for right now, less than $8)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 09:49 PM) I could say the exact same thing about having bought a condo in 2003 and sold in 2006. Yeah but odds are you'd have bought something else with that money whereas if you don't trust the stock market and think it's a bubble, it's not really that much of a risk if you buy a bunch of shares of a blue chip companies after a market crash/panic and then just cash in 2 years later. It's not a gamble, you know the stock is going to shoot back up from its depressed share price relatively fast, and you go in with that knowing you're going to sell (not hold) because you're already skeptical and think it's a bubble. When people sell their condo after 3 years it's usually because they're moving into another place (buying). 2¢

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) I did, and I really don't regret not having moved it into stocks, just like I don't regret having rented in 2003-2006 when in hindsight it was pathetically easy to spot the peak of the housing market if you believed it was a bubble. I still think stocks are overvalued. Even if you bought it in 2008 and sold it all tomorrow morning you're probably still coming out with more than twice the amount of cash you started with, plus a few dividends.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 11:24 PM) The stock of the company I worked for over the summer went from around $100 a share to $120 in the past few months. I just got into investing this summer and apparently I missed an opportunity staring right at me. That happens a lot, especially now because a lot of companies were undervalued from everything crashing. 2008 would've been a good year to have $10,000 cash laying around because you could've gotten a lot of solid companies for like half their price, now everything is starting to recover. 2K5 you remember about a year ago in this thread around the time everything was bottoming out (but we didn't really know it was bottoming out yet) we were talking about CDs and savings interest rates and you said it'd be interesting to see what $1000 did in a regular CD vs. investing it in stocks? Or something like that? Man do I wish I had a bunch of cash to invest then!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 09:10 PM) But that doesnt free up nearly enough money to sign Crawford. Its probably a third of what Crawford will make. It's one of a bunch of things they'd have to do, like I was saying above.

QUOTE (scenario @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) Not necessarily. There are other possible moves that will shave enough off the budget to make it work. I think we'd have to trade Danks, and as much as I'm a fan it isn't the worst thing in the world because you'd get a decent return for him.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) I'm telling you all what was reported. According to a Sox source, Crawford is priority #1 this off-season. I know, not busting your balls or anything. I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE for the Sox to get Crawford but I don't see it happening. I'd like Paulie back but if it's a choice between Paulie and Crawford, well, what can I say, Paulie would understand. Maybe I'm just being a pessimist after everybody got burned in the Summer of LeDouche.

I would obviously jizz myself if the Sox managed to land Crawford (and Pierre's bat would be great at 9), but for f***'s sake the playoffs are still on and I see no reason to buy into this whatsoever. It'd take a lot of creative work to fit him on the team, not that it's impossible but I just can't see it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) the initial stimulus proposal was 1.2 trillion and had a lot more actual spending. It finished at 800 billion with half in tax cuts. WHat the hell are you talking about. This I've noticed every major news story usually has 2 completely different versions of reality to it and the one a person learns depends on how often they listen to talk radio/sources that are heavily influenced by talk radio (Breitbart, Beck, etc.). Sometimes they are just different opinions or interpretations of things but sometimes they get manufactured out of whole cloth but it gets repeated so often that it's just accepted as true. The Republicans' definition of bipartisanship is "the near-supermajority passes legislation exactly the way we want them to and even if it has one of the things they campaigned on in it we will vote uniformly against it, if it is passed it will be rammed down our throats"

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 12:39 PM) I started talking to a guy at a bar last night who was drinking by himself, celebrating a new job he got... He proceeded to tell me he used his 3 year old son's pee to pass a drug test. That's f***ed up. I didn't even know what to say other than something like "you gotta do what you gotta do." My co-worker is having a b-day party for his daughter the day after my son's birthday (they were born about a week apart, along with another co-worker, all of them are turning 4). I'm telling my son it's his party because, well, f*** it, it's not like he's gonna know the difference.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) My wife just texted me saying that's she going to get a massage after work. I replied "make sure to get a happy ending". That sounds like some s*** I'd say.

Sometimes, other times it's choreographed
