  1. Whaddaya mean you want your money back for the dance lessons? It's not my fault you got thrown out of that Dodger playoff game - - if you didn't have three left paws they would have let you stay! http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/10/dodgers-rally-bear/

  3. From the link in the OP: So if we outfitted a safety with a space-shifting uniform, we could put 8 in the box and make it look like 7, or vice-versa. Let's see Peyton Manning audible to the correct play against THAT. Or we could put Robey on the DL and make him look the size of Ted Washington or Sam Adams. The possibilities are endless. Not sure if that favors or argues against using capes, though.
  4. I did a non-exhaustive google on the interweb tubes and did not find a definitive answer about exactly when the NFL schedule-makers start the process of making the next year's schedule. I did find the the following 4/19/12 NY Times article about the schedule making process, which I found interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/20/sports/nfl-schedule-makers-try-their-best-to-please-everybody.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
  5. You might be right about the motivation for the Bills' complaint, or you might be wrong. Either way, your post up-thread was a bit snarky - - but hey, I sometimes get snarky when we lose, too, so no hard feelings on my end. Anybody actually know when the 2014 scheduling process starts? If I have time later today, I'll try to do the google about it on the interweb tubes.
  6. It's my understanding that every team in the NFL, including the Bills, already knows the identity of their opponent for 14 of the 16 regular season games in 2014. Do you think it's a coincidence that every team in the AFC East plays each team in the AFC North and each team in the NFC South once this year? It's not. Every year the Bills play 6 games against AFC East teams, 4 games against another entire AFC division, 4 games against an entire NFC division, and two other AFC games. If I recall correctly, the NFC division and the "other" AFC division we play rotates each year on a pre-determined schedule. As a result, the Bills play every AFC team at least once every three years, and play every NFC team exactly once every four years. But since you've "got it together," you already knew that, right? While it's true that the opponent's identity for 2 AFC games won't be known until the 2013 regular season standings are final, there's no reason why the league couldn't start working on the 2014 schedule now if it wanted to. I don't know when the scheduling work for 2014 games actually starts, which is why I can't evaluate the timeliness of the Bills' recent scheduling complaint without additional information. Comprende?
  7. Seems to me that unless you know when the NFL starts working on the 2014 schedule, we have no basis to judge the effectiveness of the timing of the Bills' complaint. I don't see any reason why the NFL couldn't be starting to work on the 2014 schedule now, which at least potentially could make the Bills' complaint timely.
  8. If you don't like a curved handset, you can just skip the handset altogether and attach the phone to your neck: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57611950/google-tattoo-sticker-sized-voice-transmitter-thats-also-a-lie-detector/
  9. I found this to be a pretty interesting read about Christensen: http://byucougars.com/m-football/todd-christensen-tribute
  10. I wonder if Snowden leaked the technology to them - - supposedly he's a patriot. From the link in the OP: The Analytics Dept. could use your skills. How do you feel about the capes idea?
  11. Let's think about this for a minute. An invisible uniform PLUS a cape? So we'd stick a visible cape on the back of an invisible uniform so the other team could see where Alonso and Spiller used to be as they moved around? I suppose we might have to do something like that to get the new unis approved by the league office. The NFL owners might be afraid that nobody would want to buy an invisible Alonso jersey to wear to the game - - you could just wear any old T-shirt and SAY that you were also wearing the invisible Alonso jersey on top of it. But if we added visible capes maybe Ralph and the other owners wouldn't feel like their merchandising revenue was threatened, 'cause if a fan wanted to show up in the uniform of their favorite player at least they'd still have to buy the cape.
  12. You might be able to help the new Analytics Department - - are you available?
  13. Would you rather have (1) better statistics, or (2) flat, skin-like uniforms that make Spiller and Alonso invisible? http://phys.org/news/2013-11-thin-invisibility-cloak.html#ajTabs OK, Spiller's already invisible most games, but you get my point. Eleftheriades could wind up on the Wall.
  14. I certainly hope he is aiming his passes. Ready Throw Aim wouldn't work too well.
  15. If this question was posed to our significant others rather than us, I bet "mental disease" would be at the top of the list.
  16. Her name is Jamie Alexander. See the video clip embedded in this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2487550/Jaimie-Alexander-attends-Thor-The-Dark-World-premiere-extremely-revealing-dress.html
  17. For a guy who composed "The Stars And Stripes Forever," he's kind of shallow.
  18. It gets worse. It wasn't mentioned in the body of the news article, but the copy of the attached complaint in the lawsuit adds this gem:
  19. Turns out, the prototype flew (well, sort of), but a hangar roof collapsed on it later: http://www.gizmag.co...-testing/28970/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2clnsFvFOs http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0714386/ Igor Pasternak, however, still dreams big: http://www.aircargoworld.com/Air-Cargo-News/2013/11/aeroscraft-hopes-to-be-ready-for-market-in-2015
  20. And apparently that can happen from seemingly minor head trauma at any age: http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0714386/
  21. Is that easier than your current procedure - - probably yes Is it more secure - - seems pretty unlikely (although depending on what data you have, it might be secure enough for your purposes) So think about which is more important to you.
  22. It's a lucrative specialty, in part because IP disputes sometimes have "bet-the-company" stakes: http://www1.salary.c...-II-Salary.html And it skews higher in SF: http://www1.salary.com/CA/San-Francisco/Intellectual-Property-Attorney-II-salary.html
  23. Major attack launched: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/10/patent-war-goes-nuclear-microsoft-apple-owned-rockstar-sues-google/
  24. You got that part right.
