SDS

what world do you live in that you come up with those numbers?

bestfares.com they have a last minute travel section too...

for those who watch The Office - there was a great quote a couple of weeks ago when Pam was discussing the reason why Dwight had both keys to the office and what would happen if Dwight died. Dwight's reply was "If I'm dead then that means the rest of you have been dead for weeks..."

nobody builds a real weapon without govt. contracts. Too risky... If you are at the testing point, then you are already in bed w/ the feds.

maybe... All of them? That is a long, long list. I have this more planned as a drop down menu of the most popular ones.

does one like this exist? If not, this would be a new feature and it would require me finding someone to up keep it. (I have a poor track record of doing this myself ).

front page stuff only.... sorry.

for that weekend or for the full year? Assuming full year.... a link to this: http://www.nfl.com/schedules?seasonType=REG&season=2008 ??? Can that be in a drop down menu (2-clicks) or is that really a single-click item that should have it's own front page real estate?

In my efforts to redesign the site, I want to make sure the necessities are one click away (stuff that isn't front page material of course). Could you take a moment and let me know what links/features you currently would like to be only a click away? (as opposed to being nested in menus, 2nd page, etc...) For example, the schedule, the roster, buffalobills.com, etc...

Well, obviously, the money would be different. The networks would initially bid less because of reduced time, so the NFL would get less, and then the players would get less. OTOH, maybe more people could bare to watch a game w/o TiVo then...? Maybe viewership would increase and the remaining commercials would be more valuable and thus demand more money?

12-1 against the Bills over how many years and how many different head coaches? Solid work NYT.

I still have to get off my ass on the caps...

He spoke at my HS graduation back in '87... We liked it, but then again - what did we know?

I think he's just busting your chops now...

I've never played soccer beyond the backyard and I have no idea if what you wrote has a lick of truth to it, but that was one helluva rant.

well, yes, but if the point was to make some "serious coin" - I doubt the revenue from that 3% would increase substantially. If they wanted to double their income they would have to sell enough merchandise equivalent to all the other teams combined. Given how far fetched that scenario is - "serious coin" would not be made by Ralph.

1st prize went in the mail today... bills_fan: PM your shipping details for the hat.

NFL merchandise is shared equally. The Bills get 3% no matter what their unis look like.

for privacy concerns - you are fine with that.

the higher frequency helps (most scanners don't go that high), but you should check the specs. I don't believe entry models carried the DSS.

No comprende... I'm not sure what you are referring to...

everyone needs to distinguish between the board and the front page. w/o that info - the feedback is meaningless.

Well, alot is going on w/ phones these days. If you have a real old one - 49 MHz. Then it doesn't. If you had a fancy 900 Mhz purchased back in the day. It might. If you have 2.4 Ghz or 5.8 Ghz - then there is a good chance it does unless you bought the least expensive models. The new wave is DECT 6.0. It is a global standard that kicks ass in clarity and range and it doesn't share the frequencies with other appliances (wireless networks), so interference is not an issue. Data is encrypted, but I'm not sure how well. A quick search doesn't yield any vulnerabilities to date.

It's ok. If the comments were directed about the front page then they are spot on (or at least his opinion is the same as mine). Refreshing the front page is long over due. Like 4 years overdue. As for the board, I think it looks pretty good, but there is always room for improvement.

This is not true. I posted the info above. If your phone has spread spectrum, then it is very, very difficult to eavesdrop. If someone is listening to you over DSS - you got serious @%@#$ issues because you are talking about equipment sophisticated enough for terrorists or NSA ops. The quick and dirty about DSS is that you are broadcasting over many, many frequencies AT THE SAME TIME. So, someone with a scanner can't listen to you because there isn't one frequency to tune in to. They would need to know all the frequencies you are broadcasting on, the code pattern, and then be able to take all the info in real time and reconstruct it all to listen in. It ain't happening to any average joe on the street.
