My AP History and English classes made me do reading over the summers and I was still working full-time at the PandC, it really wasn't that hard to do both.

I think saying it's natural implies that greed is a natural impulse. It isn't. It's learned.
It can be just as natural to weigh all the options and take a bit of a cut to build and stay on a winning team. That's what the Patriots are doing, perhaps our players could learn from them.
I don't feel bad for Pats players who can't buy their cousin that extra Beamer because they didn't pocket another million, instead opting for a championship.
I don't feel bad for them and I don't fault them for taking less money. I would love if players on the Bills did the same as a Bills fan. At the same time, I am not going to hate someone for going to another team for more money though.
I don't think it's necessarily just greed we are talking about here. If status didn't play a role than why would these players sign contracts with high dollar figures they won't realize a couple years down the road except for status? It's not like the players are taking money from starving children here, they are taking it from billionaire owners.

That's a cop out. One could realize that they have an opportunity to make more money in a couple years than many make in a lifetime. They are blessed with an ability that yields them prizes that are far richer than most. If they don't want to risk getting injured, they don't have to take the millions in the first place. Ricky Williams is doing just that.
You don't have to be a greedy **** to be an NFL player. Witness Warrick Dunn.
Would I take the money that they make over what I make now? Yes, in a heartbeat, but I cannot say that I once I got there that I would like others of lesser talent making more. If it's so easy not to be a greedy **** why are so many players acting in this way? It's natural to want to keep on improving your station no matter how rich you are.

Wow, hard to be impressed with Lawyer Milloy after reading that bull sh--.
"But the other part is (making sure) your family is stable after football is all done. You can't feed your family off of Super Bowl rings."
Is this guy telling me that making 4-5 million dollars a year over 8 years is not enough to make sure your family is 'stable?' You have got to be kidding me. Must be rough to have it so hard. Hope I don't have to see Lawyer at the Salvation Army in a few years.
I don't know, I think in football there's much more reason to try go with the big bucks. Your career is always tenuous due to injury and anyone once they make a certain amount of money wants to make more.

The iPod has a certain amount of buffering or shock protection I believe. At least whatever it has, I have never had a problem with skipping unless you count accidently hitting a button when HOLD isn't on.

Software is becoming less and less of a problem. Obviously there is more PC sotfware but OS X makes development pretty easy and what I want is available. Go to http://versiontracker.com and look at the Mac OS X software and you will see what I mean.
In the sense of building your own Mac, yeah it is much easier to do so on a PC. The G5s are pretty constumizable however.
If you are interested in building a Mac, it isn't impossible. See here: http://www.macopz.com/buildamac/

Bought a GameCube off of my sister when she moved to Japan. It's good if you aren't too serious about playing and just want something to entertain folks for awhile. That's how I use it at least.

I liked Trump's new impression of Mortimer Duke.

I've never understood why people here were scoffing at the idea of getting a #2 pick for Travis. Round 2 picks are no where near sure things (and we as Bills fans should know that by now). So why wouldn't teams start lining up for a deal that would get them a proven runningback that runs like a bull, has a chip on his shoulder and costs dirt cheap.
What are you talking about, we have always done well in the second round. Bucky Brooks still has tremendous upside.

Besides, the only reason why students got summers off in the first place was to go help on the farm. I doubt he would like going back to those days.
