Bingo! And it'll get 2K Sports off their asses and hopefully produce some respectable baseball games as well. If all you're after is a roster update, you could still be playing Madden 06. The rosters are user submitted, and are actually more up to date than what EA puts out. It's fine if you...

Yeah, the current search function is pretty hit or miss in that regard. Adding a dupe checker would be pretty easy, and I think a worthwhile addition, (not because of you though, I typically enjoy your submissions :))

Thought I saw the bat signal. :D But you're right that's one of the major issues. There are also hundreds of liabilities where memory leaks are concerned, as a number of hackers have shown at conferences that they can use buffer overflows to essentially take control of the program and to a...

She's been done for a while. Went to rehab and came out a retired performer.

Oh there's no comparing the two, even with the chinks in the armor the last few years. If it were up to me, Dan Uggla would be playing first, Cantu third, and mostly the same from there. While not great, Cantu has at least shown he isn't the black hole of suckiness that Uggla is defensively.

Uh, what he did was not only unethical, but also in ********* of the law. That makes him a criminal. I get that you're saying that it's normal on Wall Street, but that would make all of them criminals, not let all of them off the hook.

Lanny for me, but it's close.

Wait a minute, Brian Sabean had abilities as a GM? :1orglaugh But you're right. There have been a number of studies into so called chemistry and it's effects, and in the end, it's a net zero gain. Anecdotally, there are enough examples to go for days, but statistically, those usually aren't...

:rofl: Nice find!

Certainly that may be the case, however the study the American Journal of Sports Medicine conducted compared players by position, which would essentially control for any differences in activity/position. The real bottom line is that muscle is meant to do one thing: contract. Contraction is...

Ah, my biggest grip about football. Baseball gets all the blame for being slow, but football and basketball, relative to their "periods" if you will, take longer. That's pretty much completely false. According to the American Journal of Sports Science, in examining the features of successful...

Surely there's nothing wrong with being as safe as possible, but I literally can't think of a mainstream website I regularly visit that doesn't.

:D Eh, there's nothing wrong with that, but the game has been the same for nearly a decade, I need something that'll freshen the genre.

Good in theory, pretty awful on paper. Not to mention the enemies who will run up to a live grenade, then just stand and watch it blow up. :1orglaugh

I'm with you 100% there.

What the french toast?

Wait, what was this thread about again? :D

It was an honest mistake unlike the 15,000 "Ask Me..." threads and the corresponding 20,000 "Don't Ask Me..." threads, although I have been thinking for a while that FreeOnes needs a duplicate checking algorithm when you submit a new thread.

Both the Giants and the Reds have for years now been farms for AAAA players - too good for AAA but awful in the majors. Although in fairness, both Denorfia and Kearns had major injuries that derailed their careers. Both looked like above average major leaguers until their respective injuries...

I'm being facetious. Sabean is notorious for bringing players in because they have, "veteran grit", which in his little pea brain actually amounts to something. Bringing Burrell up is a joke, but then again, I've been saying this entire off-season and into this season that the Giants outplayed...

Porn site are really the only major culprits of that anymore. Most major sites that deal with sensitive information encrypt their cookies server-side, but you're right, there are sites that don't.

I'm with you. I'm probably going to GameFly it, as I'm pumped to finally see a game that does away with the bullshit canned animations, (I'm looking at you Madden).

Played it, not all that great. Graphics are pretty substandard, AI is probably the worst I've seen in this generation of games, but the RPG dialogue mechanics are pretty neat. The decision making system is probably the best part of the game. For those of you thinking about buying, I'd say...

I'm not a big fan of the game in general. The first one was pretty novel, but the second one to me was barely passable as a sequel.

Call of Duty without a doubt. Gears to me was overrated.

My thoughts exactly. Some unfortunate girl is in for one hell of a painful night.

Good looking out. :hatsoff:

You're right, but the defining characteristic of Gates was his tenacity, obstinacy even when it came to getting his product out there and recognized. He essentially conquered the market through sheer saturation. Ballmer, (who was deemed smarter than Gates when he was appointed to the CEO...

You're right in that the bulk of the revenue is from services, however, they don't give away new phones. They push customers to new phones, which on average are about 120-150% above manufacturing price. Don't get me wrong, it's not negligible, however those engineers make on average upwards...

I'm willing to bet he doesn't sign until August 15th. Boras will try to leverage the deadline, and MLB will pressure the Nats to wait to sign him so that the other first rounders don't get similar contracts. "But he has veteran grit" - Brian Sabean. :D

Pardon my ignorance, but what else happened?

Obvious troll is obvious.

If you're licking her urethra, you're doing it wrong.

Red Dead Redemption Battlefield BC 2 Modern Warfare 2 MLB 2K10 (sigh)

Interesting, I'll have to do some more research before I think about getting this though.

To physically power a network with an average load of data in the form of text messages costs $700 a month. When I worked for AT&T, I commissioned cell tower workers, most often for about $70k a year. The cost of employees was more than covered by other sources of income, (viz physical phone...

Steve Ballmer might be one of the dumbest computer executives in the history of the industry. "There's no need for it, people willing to pay for a system with that much to access are probably looking for an all-together new OS". Mmmhmm, Steve. :rolleyes:

Wow, another blast from the past.

I'll say it again: idiocy knows no bounds.

The amount of injuries piling up AGAIN in the Oakland organization has really lead me to believe the medical staff should be re-examined. Duchscherer has a genetic issue, so I'll give them that, but throughout the organization, there are 48 people currently on the DL, this is more than...

:rofl:

How do I always miss these things? Every time some idiot wants to come on here and screw around I always miss the boat. :(

Aw, he's gone already?

I'm well aware of what case would need to be made, and to be honest, it's been made before, however the issue here is that there is price fixing on the part of cell phone companies. The average customer pays $20 per month for text messaging plans, in order for the cell phone companies to...

And there's one school employee who should never step foot near another one again.

If you want to be completely top of the line, certainly the Core i7 is where you'd look, but the quad core Core i5 would do very well for your purposes. Most online retailers will try to push a bunch of RAM on you, but unless you're planning on getting a 64 bit OS, there's really no reason to...

I can't wait for a court to finally step in and challenge some of the prices these companies offer. Yet again a cell phone company wants to screw customers.

I ask this any time someone wants computer advice from me: What do you want to use it for? Also how much are you willing to spend (ballpark estimate). 8 cores are pretty much top of the line right now, although I've seen some prototypes at Intel that have 12.

Apple does not pay their wages, Foxconn does. Sort of the way that Intel manufactures parts and sells them to HP, for example to put in their computers. The problem is that Apple has done nothing in the past 6 years to put an end to this, and in the late 90s was on record as saying Apple would...
