No reason to think a military research lab would consider using a "fire-fighting" robot for any other purpose: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2007/09/robosoldiers-hi/#previouspost When the Navy starts arming their hydrogen-powered robotic jellyfish, don't say you weren't warned! http://news.cnet.com/8301-13639_3-57401801-42/robojelly-hydrogen-powered-robot-jellyfish-is-squishy-awesome/?tag=mncol;txt

To the OP: I had NFL Rewind for the first time last season - - if you have a fast enough Internet connection the picture is HD. You can check picture quality for your particular Internet connection by signing up for the preseason package - - price declines as you get closer to the regular season. I signed up for something like $5 when there was only 1 preseason game left just to check my video quality at home. If it's fast enough to get acceptable picture quality, you can then sign up for the whole regular NFL season for about $40. And if you want to stream Internet video to your TV so you can watch on a bigger screen, several options are explained here: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2011/02/22/savings-experiment-cutting-the-cord-on-cable-tvs-pricey-bill/?ncid=txtlnkusdail00000004 Good luck.

I think some nerd must have gotten a federal grant to build his own Terminator prototype. Either that, or SkyNet sent it back in time to kill Sarah Conner. Check out the sketch from the US Naval Research Laboratory here: http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/13/tech/innovation/robot-fire-us-navy/index.html The thing needs to throw grenades to fight fires?

Interesting question. There have only been 35 left-handed QBs in the history of the NFL according to this (don't know if it's true): http://www.footballnation.com/content/steve-young-tops-list-nfls-greatest-left-handed-quarterbacks/11506/ and I'm sure many of them were obscure. I don't have an answer to your question, but here's a list of prominent lefty QBs - - maybe somebody who followed their careers closely would know what sort of OL adjustments, if any, were made because of their left handedness when they took over from their presumably right-handed predecessors: 1. Steve Young 2. Boomer Esiason 3. Mark Brunell 4. Scott Mitchell 5. Kenny Stabler IIRC, Brunell was on the Jets roster in 2010 and 2011, so the Jets have dealt with a left handed backup QB recently.

It's debatable whether the human eye can detect the improved resolution of a 4k screen for typical screen sizes and viewing distances: http://carltonbale.com/1080p-does-matter

While there are exceptions to every rule, I think this is generally true. I'm not into fantasy football, but the following article has some pretty interesting tables showing receiver stats for guys drafted from 1998 through 2008 for their first four years in the league (only 3 for the 2008 draftees): http://www.footballdocs.com/WR_three_year_rule.html Ignore the fantasy football advice and and just look at the data tables - - while we might get lucky and draft a receiver who is an immediate stud, it's more likely that any WR we draft will take a few years to blossom. Just my 2 lira.

I bet I could find it if it had a bar code: http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/24/world/europe/spain-prostitution-tattoo/index.html

I suppose you could have just got up and said "so long" - - but since you stayed at the conference, maybe your annoyance level was only so-so.

It appears that Tebow's first conversation with Rex Ryan has started him down that path: Tebow'sfirstchatwithRyan

Have you thought about where the rocks would be after he threw them?

What a load of crap - - you hand out participation trophies long enough and this is what you get.

"Bell Curve" is the arc a RDE runs to get to Fitz's ribs.

In the spirit of the original post - - a list of pros for Tebow:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/13/buried-spacecraft-found-austria-_n_1341622.html The whole thing seems fishy to me - - I think the "farmer" was an alien posing as a farmer to escape detection by our primitive technology - - what earthling names his cat Murlimann Knoglinger? You have to be alien to even pronounce it.

To paraphase a friend of mine (who talks a braver game than he plays): Little asteroids get in groups - - big asteroids single file!

I've been to Paris, Texas - - it's 1 hour behind East Coast time. You can put your boots in the oven but that don't make them biscuits.

If I was the Rams GM and I really did have identical offers from the Browns at #4 and the Redskins at #6, I would make the deal with whichever team I thought would be worse in the future. A Redskins deal makes the Rams pick 2 spots later in the 1st and 2nd rounds this year (as compared with a deal with the Browns), but they could easily make up that delta if they think the Redskins will have a worse won/loss record than the Browns in the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

Maybe we can make WR Vincent Jackson an offer at 4 pm Eastern time but tell him it expires if he doesn't accept it within 2 hours and 59 minutes, so that he has to make a decision before the West coast teams can start bidding. Let's get Stevie some help.

Erie County has picked the Nixon Peabody law firm to represent it in lease negotiations (not the same law firm as last time around) - - still waiting for the Bills' architectural study to be completed before negotiations will begin. More at: http://www.buffalonews.com/city/article755579.ece
