  1. If anyone remembers, Garth got one hit in his last stint in spring training with the Mets. The unlucky victim: Mike Sirotka. Garth is a bonafide Sox-killer.

    Taken from Entine's Taboo article. I think the patellar tendon reflex thing is very important for running and jumping but I'm no physiologist.
  3. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8&category=2312 Feel free to bid if it's within your price range.
  4. It's actually one of the many vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer. A malicious programmer can put a link in the email that LOOKS like it's going to a place like http://www.microsoft.com but it will actually go to something like http://www.microsoft.com%[email protected]. The link will look fine and the address that shows up once you click on it will also look like http://www.microsoft.com. The only way to tell that it is not legit is the missing slash at the end. If it was real, the top of your web browser would read http://www.microsoft.com/
  5. http://andrew.cmu.edu/~pnelson/CtrlAltDel.asf David Bradley is speaking in this forum and totally smokes Bill Gates. Bill responds appropriately with the icy cold stare of a multi-billionaire.
  6. Mr. Zero is a move but it's not the typical pre-Soxfest KW barn-burner that we're used to.
  7. Robert Downey Jr. as a possible Zaphod does not exactly pique my interest.
  8. Come on guys, our dictator George W. Bush is gonna rewrite the Constitution and cancel all further reelections after 2004. He will be declared the Fuhrer, can't you see it coming??? Then the Republican party is going to hold all the seats in Congress and form it's own army of brown shirts called the Department of Homeland Security. And...OMG there already IS a Department of Homeland Security. Guys I'd move to Canada but they are gonna be the first country annexed by Greater America following the Sudetenland and East Prussia. WORLD WAR 3 MOTHA f***AS!!! Sorry I thought this thread was stupid and I decided to contribute to the further stupidity by adding my own personal opinion.
  9. Reported to the proper hotlinking authorities
  10. I saw a special on this a little while ago: The company that manufactured the O-Ring seals refused to sign off on a launch the day before because they were 100% against the use of the seals at such low temperatures. Every single engineer in their department agreed with this assesment. It took much wrangling and basically the waiver of all responsibility by NASA to get these guys to give the green light and allow the Challenger launch. I can't imagine anyone was feeling very good after that but there were many people who may have been expecting that to happen. In all the years of space flight, America had never had a problem on reentry. This is really a minor miracle considering the fact that so much can go wrong during this hazardous ordeal. A giant piece of frozen foam about the size of a suitcase broke some heat tiles off during launch. Unfortunately nobody could confirm this had happened. That and NASA did not want to perform an unscheduled space walk so someone could walk outside the shuttle and inspect for damage. Also, had they even found the damage on the tiles, there was really no other option for escape for these doomed astronauts. I don't think the shuttle was fitted for docking with the space station or the station simply could not have supported these astronauts for very long. An emergency rescue mission also could not have feasibly been prepared in time. Still, in the name of cost-cutting, NASA would never have attempted a rescue mission of the Columbia or further delayed the launch of Challenger because at the time, NASA launched satellites using the shuttles for money. Since Challenger, I think NASA changed their policies regarding payloads. I'm not sure what kind of future the shuttle program has left.
  11. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1719637 Wow, there's a bonafide closer up for grabs if someone is willing to foot the bill. Mariners meanwhile save $9.5 million. Nevermind, the article says he is going back to his family in Japan. Not up for grabs.
  12. I have the feeling Ozzie will go with whoever is the hot hand or shows the most consistency. That being said I still think Mr. Zero is our guy and if he can't handle the heat, definitely Damaso.
  13. I think it matters alot if the person has been blind their entire life or not. If they have, I don't think they see anything in their dreams.
  14. Click on "My Controls" on the top right, then go to "Board Settings" on the bottom left and you should have a timezone option come up.
  15. I'd have to see their schedule before making that leap of faith.
  16. Wow, he's wearing number 10. It will be tough to follow in the footsteps of Mark Johnson and Royce Clayton.
  17. WOW, Jessica Alba and Eliza Dushku...
  18. They are now back in contact with the Spirit Rover. They are not yet sure if a software or hardware problem is causing the communication difficulties. What I found cool is they can send a patch 35 million miles to fix software bugs in the rover's computer. If it's a hardware problem, the rover is f***ed.
  19. I'm afraid the only ticket Kucinich will be punching is his plane ride home after the NH primary. Even though I share little common ground with him politically, I like his personality and spunk when it comes to politics. Him holding up those charts during the debate tonight was classic. I'll be sad to see the guy go especially cuz he shares my initials. I would be most in favor of a Kerry/Clark or Kerry/Edwards ticket. I just don't see Dean as a VP.
  20. The best way I can say it is: "Kare wa nakunatta" which roughly translates to "He has become nothing" or "He has disappeared".
  21. Europe's rover is probably lying in some 70 mile wide crater unable to communicate. Meanwhile the US has a second twin rover due to land in about two days time.
  22. Is it necessary to be able to play all of one's GBA games on every single system that Nintendo makes? This company does the dumbest things in the name of backward compatibility.
