    [OT] Pre-bake wings?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Are you serious? Weis Markets made them for you?

     

    Wegman's won't even make them for me!

    that's absurd. Like it is so hard to sprinkle X on a roll rather than Y just before you bake them....

     

    I've had 2 separate Weis stores do this for me and never a single hassle.

    In all seriousness, it seems that fresh wings cook much better than frozen.

     

    I'm a wing conisseur! Not like you fitness freaks in the Sarama household :lol:

    My local grocery store didn't have any fresh ones that looked good, and I had too much to do to go store hopping.... Beef on weck was our main dish anyway.... The individually frozen Tyson wings were pretty good and easy to work with.

    I'm just curious, Scott.  How long did you bake them and at what temp?  How long were they in the fryer and at what temp?  Frank's and butter/margerine or some other type of sauce?

    I bought Tyson wings and baked them (frozen) for 35 minutes at 400 F.... Then I threw them in the fryer for 5 minutes at 400-425F or until they floated. We had Anchor bar sauce...

    Not really. Basic and extended (analog) cable through Comcast is $47 + $5 for 1 HD receiver + tax = ~ $55

    I don't have to pay for more receivers as every TV has a built in tuner. No pay-per-view or premium channels for me.

     

    3 TVs in my house. DirecTV = $39.99 +$5x2 = $49.99 with no local HD channels !

     

    If you do an apples to apples (ie. take out the HD receiver I am paying Comcast for), it is the same price. So you don't need to have 8 TVs to make cable cheaper ....

    analog cable is not of the same quality as DTV. You need to compare digital cable with DTV.

    There's more to chip architecture than clock speed.  All in all, clock speed actually isn't that important at all.

     

    For example, an AMD Opteron running at 2.4GHz (with 32bit apps) can outperform Intel chips running at 3.6Ghz or higher in everything but video rendering.

     

    PA-RISC chips (HP) are only running at 1Ghz, but they kick the crap out of AMD, Intel AND Sun.

     

    Intel is going to have to solve its lack of scaling if it wants to compete in the server market.  High end servers need more than 4 CPUs.  I'd guess that Intel is at least a decade away from being able to provide that.

    Granted, I am an Apple shill - but, since I follow the company very closely I have noticed that normally hostile mac people are really taking notice - in particular, their Xserve line. We just bought 16 of them at work for our own "super computer".

     

    Plus, they have some storage solutions that are getting noticed:

    As an aside, I work in a mixed shop (some OSX, lotsa XP) and as a professional, I'd say XP is FAR easier to manage than OSX.

    "Earthlink and WebRoot Software have completed a quarterly spyware audit, documenting the current malware plague:

     

    Results from the report, which tracked the growth of spyware on consumer PCs since the report's inception on January 1, 2004, show the instances of system monitors rose 230 percent, while the instances of Trojans rose 114 percent from October 2004 to December 2004. Trojans, keystroke loggers and system monitors are capable of capturing keystrokes, online screenshots, and personally identifiable information like your social security number, bank account numbers, logins and passwords, or credit card numbers.

    Yeah, I hate Bill Gates and the PC industry for driving competition and keeping prices low.  What a dick.

    ???

     

    You might make that case for Dell, but I fail to see how MS is driving competition and keeping prices of anything low.... Perhaps in those markets they where they give away stuff to drive out competitors, but certainly not in the office suite or system software market.
