yall

How do you know the fairie isn't building model airplanes and sniffin' glue?

Good news!

Hell yeah I'll install it.... once SP 2 is released!

I don't think anyone is discounting that, but for the results to be the same doesn't add up. There should be some movement in the positive direction given that we've had 50 years of what I would consider continuous improvement (albeit slow improvement). I mean we are talking about a potential black presidential candidate for one of the two major parties. 50 years ago that notion would have been laughable.

So then I guess the logical conclusion is that forced segregation was not the only culprit for the perceived low self esteem. I wonder how much the media's portrayal of black people has to do with this? Or the fact that many minorities practice self segregation at times, as well as suffering from economic segregation. What there needs to be is some kind of control group for anyone to begin to make sense of all of this.

Anyone wanna give a brief overview for those of us that cannot stream video at work?

Or like sticking your d1ck in a can of paint... Don't get me wrong, I'd eff 'em both, but I wouldn't brag about it. It would be in the same category as boasting to my friends that I kicked the crap out of a developmentaly challenged 1st grader that had been bound and doped up.

Eddie is a bit of a jerk. I don't know that he was being villianized all that much. Considering MA hasn't really had much to say on the topic, I'm hard pressed to call it a celebrity feud. More like Eddie running at the mouth. Fair enough, point taken.

Fairly well known to me since I saw Eddie say so much in an interview with Howard Stern. Not quite speculation, more like fact. And I don't really give a rats a$$ what you think, but I figured if you are gonna start poo-poo-ing what people have said in posts that you actually have something to back it up other than "dur i dont beleive tv". Perhaps I expect too much from mods around here...

So you know otherwise, huh? Or is it your lifelong dream to pi$$ on a post in each thread in some way? It's fairly well known that Eddie dumped MA for two main reasons: 1. So Wolfgang could play in the band. 2. He was pi$$ed at MA for touring with Sammy.

Actually, they are already installing it in some areas here. I think West Seneca has it...

The second this shiznit drops in Cheektavegas, I'm all over it. I'm anxiously awaiting the day when I get to tell Time-Warner to suck on the snotty end of my f*ck stick.

I'm not sure who told you that, but putting a bass string on a guitar will probably really screw up the guitar. For it to be in tune he'd have to have the tension on the low E (assuming he used a bass G string) so high that the neck would likely warp. Additionally, I'm not sure the ball end would even fit through the bridge, but I guess that would depend on the brand. Even though the gauges are similar, they are different strings. At any rate, I'm pretty sure Vaughn used D'addario .013's with a .054 gauge low E. Edit: I was wrong about his brand and E gauge: http://www.jcdisciples.org/musicians/srv/g...itar_setup.html Stevie tunes his guitar down a half-step and uses GHS Nickel Rockers measuring .013, .015, .019 (plain), .028, .038, and .058. On this particular day, Rene had substituted an .011 for the high E to keep down the sore fingers that blues bends can cause. Rene changes strings every show for each guitar that gets played. (Rene Martinez was Stevie's guitar tech)

Did anyone in another thread actually state that there are traits that are 100% heritable, or did the OP just misunderstand something? (Im not going through that tedious regression thread again to find an answer...)

I do, she is the Lorena Bobbit of the architechtural world. Glad I'm not her husband....

Tall buildings, NO! Bait shop, YES!

Regardless of the type of agreement (verbal or otherwise) it was publicly acknowledged. For Bills management to go back on their word, especially on something that is fairly high-profile, would not be a good way to attract and retain good players.

I'm all for #3. I still proudly wear my Sammy jersey.

Are you sure that's what they said? Can a trait even be considered to be 100% heritable?

Are you trying to discuss the finer points of evolution, or merely use another thread to discuss regression?

Bingo!

I thought the revenue sharing percentages were roughly the same. Do you have a link to support this? Not trying to be argumentative, just curious...

I saw this thread and had to throw in my 2 cents. I have a Wii and a 360, and might eventually get a PS3 when there are actually some reasons to have one (i.e more games). Right now there is no doubt the 360 is your best bet. The library of games is huge and there are some killer games available. Steve, feel free to look up games sites like IGN and 1up who will clearly state that the sports games like Madden and NBA07 look better on a 360 than they do on a PS3. One of the biggest names in game development, Gabe Newell of Valve software (Half-life, Counterstrike, Half-Life 2, Team Fortress) just declared that the PS3 was a flop and a lot of other developers are probably feeling the same way. John Carmack of 'id' (creator of Doom, Quake, etc.) says he prefers developing for the 360. he bottom line is the 360 has more games right now. The 360 has better games right now. And if you read what these devs are saying the 360 will have more and better games in the future because that's the platform they want to work with. Now as far as reliability goes, I have 2 360's (I know it's overkill, but dammit if I wanna play Phantasy Star Universe and the old lady is playin Viva Pinata, what am I supposed to do?) and neither have had any issue. And even if you do get a broken unit, the warranty and service from MS are good. One of my friends had a unit die almost a year after he got it. He boxed it up and they sent him a new one within a week.

According to this article in Forbes, if the Bills were to raise revenue by 10% they would be in the top 10 in terms of yearly revenue. We are 13th in operating income before taxes, etc. edit: oops forgot the link - http://www.forbes.com/lists/results.jhtml?...mp;passKeyword= If they were to implement my plan of raising ticket prices by $20, that would generate close to $11 million in additional revenue. This would put them between 15 and 16 in terms of revenue generated. Hell, just raising the price of all tickets by $10 would be an additional 5-6 million and would put the bills a few places up on the chart. These numbers are pretty raw and don't take all factors into account, but it's clear that the Bills can remain at the middle of the pack with some minor cost adjustments. edit - I know it's 04 info, but it's still relevant

You raise ticket prices. The market will support it. Raise the price of each ticket by 20 bucks. By the time you figure in the preseason games, there is 10 million more in revenue. It's not as if Ralph is going broke. I agree, revenue sharing needs to implemented in a way that it levels the playing field, but the ticket prices need to come up too. While sell outs alone won't save the franchise, they will go a long way in helping to keep the team here. That goes for any market, small or large.
