Lackey is a bit of a ****** for Boston. He's moving from a slightly hitter friendly park, to a good hitters park (about 11% about a neutral park), so his numbers will probably dip a bit. The big risk is in giving a contract of that length to a 31 year old who hasn't thrown a pitch in the month...

See the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, and it's legal interpretation in the Board of Education of Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet. The highest law of the United States inherently says it.

There are. And they're just about as worthwhile as their lack of recognition would suggest.

Almost none of that is Conans fault. His show is a bit tamer, but that's mostly because NBC has been absolutely awful in how overbearing they are. They've expected him to dominate the ratings from the very beginning, without realizing that that doesn't happen, and that it takes time for new...

Well, it's a new year, and with it comes a new season of Major League Baseball. While the season is still a few months from starting, there are a number of stories this offseason that should hold us over until the season starts. I'm hoping to have time in the coming months to do predictions...

I don't believe there is support for a mouse and controller, but there are products that allow you to use a mouse. A company called SplitFish offers a hybrid controller that features a mouse called FragFX, but that's the only one I've ever encountered.

That's actually an interesting question. Right now, the standard of who gets the most face time by the major carriers is literally a matter of a. who is the most attractive name, and b. who has a more valuable relationship with the company. The thing is, all of the major cell phone makers do...

I knew people that would regularly take laptops apart, take of the rubber caps on the keys, and shave the contacts down to the point where you could only use two keys on the keyboard, but from the outside, you'd never know why. My boss there once enlisted four guys to take a laptop from a rowdy...

All of those suggestions are questions cached by the recommendation engine. None of those are created by Google. As does Yahoo!, Bing, and any other search engine you may use. As does Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and all of the other social networking sites. Google just happens to be honest...

Good, she's been trying to keep her name in the public for so long now that I've completely tuned her out. She's said some of the most unintelligent, downright idiotic things I've ever heard, and has to be one of the biggest "me" people I've ever seen or heard of, but for some reason is admired...

Having worked at Best Buy when I was much younger, this is a ***** thing compared to some of the stuff they pull on customers.

The article did a really poor job explaining the tiering of prices. The phone is $180 without a prior contract with T-Mobile, essentially if you're a new customer or your contract is up. If you have a contract (no-data) with T-Mobile it would be $280 (that's all in the cancellation fees) and...

Well deserved, shame it took so long for him to get into the Hall.

Sounds like you've got a full plate! Gaming is going well, just haven't had as much time lately with all the stuff going on, but hopefully that will change in a few weeks. Good luck with the startup!

Novel concept, but I'm not sold on it.

What's interesting to me is that Hume clearly has absolutely no idea about the fundamental ideology of Buddhism. He basically just implies that if you're a Buddhist, you cannot find forgiveness, which is so flippantly false that I can only ascribe it to either ignorance, or hatred. The...

Hey bud, I've been doing a bunch of different stuff, mostly working on a project with a group of friends that we're hoping to launch in the coming weeks. How about yourself? Belated Happy New Year as well! :)

There are a number of major flaws in that study that lead me to believe the researchers involved had no idea what they were doing. There's the first problem. There are approximately 135 million twins in the world, with about 11 million being "identical" (monozygotic). There are...

But...but....I thought I had the FastPass! :1orglaugh

A fine choice. Quite a fun game. I wouldn't read too much into it. A friend of mine who works at Sony was telling me that the Beta is literally almost exclusively for testing scalability on a number of different server architectures, and very little attention has been paid so far to making...

I know this has probably been beaten to death, but if you wanted to use WMP, try downloading Cole2K codex package. That should take care of the vast majority of codex errors in WMP. But if you're dumping WMP, which I can't blame you for, VLC is good as an all around player. Foobar2000 is a...

Somebody said something about a blowjob from Bree Olsen if I voted for her? I'm here to claim my prize. :D :1orglaugh

Are you trying to bribe me? It's gonna take more than that! :1orglaugh I'd be glad to! :D

Sounds like you two kicked off the new year the right way. :D

Tiger also took a vow that he would honor his wife, (meaning be faithful), which he clearly didn't uphold when he cheated on her.

Good for the both of them. Good on Em for stepping up to battle the addiction, and good on Elton for supporting.

Happy New Year to you too, my friend!

Net Neutrality is the idea that the Internet should: A. Be an open forum for all people who use it, and B. Should be available to everyone at one price with the same unlimited access. ISPs (Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T) all have heavily lobbied in the past 10 years to disallow this idea, and...

I don't really think this means an end to free TV (not in the short term at least). I think the real worry is for the people who work in the news industry for free channels (i.e. local news) because with revenue drying up, it means networks are going to try to look to cheapen the behind the...

2006: ALDS Marco Scutaro sealing the deal for the A's. 2002: The Streak.

Net neutrality is in my view one of the most important issues in the US. There is absolutely no reason ******* net neutrality. All it does is legalizes segregating web traffic by ISPs. The cell phone industry is a great example of what could happen if many in the government are allowed to...

GreaseMonkey helps me almost everyday.

I seem to be the only A's fan or Bay Area resident who actually like the Coliseum. If only the damn Raiders didn't tear the grass up half the year. On a side note, I'm going to have to see if I can scrounge up some old photos of the Coliseum now.

Make sure you bought it and didn't rent it. For some stupid reason iTunes will rent you the movie for a day, but I'm not sure what the price is.

Most of them are just scams to advertise porn.

Shock of the century.

Seems to me that (having a number of terrible teams that is) is a problem in every major sport. Very true. :thumbsup: Points to you for the GTA: Vice City reference. :thumbsup: If we're looking for a quicker game, cut out the God-forsaken requisite three minute commercial between innings...

The most brilliant comedian ever, period. George could point out hypocrisies and idiosyncrasies of American life that to this day are unrivaled. Absolutely genius.

It still amazes me that people aren't up in arms about the blatant violations of net neutrality that Comcast/Time Warner/insert major ISP here commit with absolutely zero penalty whatsoever.

Congratulations on the engagement, and cheers to a long and loving marriage. :)

:1orglaugh Any of the ladies offer me their services, they've got my vote :D

She did. About two years ago. At the time she had moved to San Diego and her girlfriend was starting law school or something along those lines.

What site are you getting these files from? Most major sites have at the very least a mobile version of the site (meant to be accessed from a cell phone or iPod). If you can't play any of the media files anywhere across the web, (assuming you're not just lurking in obscure sites) you're...

VZChartz is a site I have a hard time relying on simply because their data is often arbitrary, and honestly half the time it seems the editors are just making it up and I've yet to see them use a credible source. That site was one of the first back when HD-DVD/Blu-Ray were battling it out to...

It's probably an unsupported media type. What type of file is it (file extension)?

Eh, don't get too caught up yet, they're still early in the development cycle. Microsoft isn't really hurting. They're making a nice lofty profit off of the 360 so far, and while they haven't touched the Wii in terms of sales, the gap is closing, and fast. While I can see why it looks like...

Travis Barker, Ringo Starr, Stuart Copeland.

I have one of the old Whalers jerseys hanging on my wall, so that's one of them. I used to really like the old Stars jerseys from a few years back for some reason, even though they were quite odd.

Why thank you my friend, good to hear from you :) Just a tip for waiting for the helicopter: sneak into one of those ticket booths, they are an absolute lifesaver :D

And to you my friend, happy holidays!
