Crap Throwing Monkey

I think it was discussed a few months ago. Some yahoo out of Denver, as I recall. And I'm sure it happens at the collegiate level all the time.

Actually, there's a world of difference between saying "Bush caused 9/11" and berating students and teachers on school grounds during school hours.

How about: Overrated: Denver at #13. They lost to the Rams. Underrated: Rams at #18. They beat Denver.

What a ridiculous site! I had no idea that the usual teaching about Christopher Columbus was just right-wing propaganda justifying the invasion of Iraq...

Which would be fine...if I need to crack walnuts. But for something you can spread cinnamon frosting on, they need to be softer...still firm, of course, but reasonably pliable at the same time... ...what were we talking about again?

Good thing too. Because no one here would want you exposing your buns to the world... (There goes the other half of that demographic... )

Wish I'd stayed up for that...you West Coast people get all the comedy...

Or rewarded. One of the two.

Just curious...how do you pay for cutting and running from Iraq? Where's that money going to come from? 'Cause it won't be cheap, I guarantee you...

Does he ever mention how he's going to pay for all that? And don't even get me started on that "K-16" nonsense. A "seamless" transition from HS to college?

1) Bake cake. 2) Add cinnamon.

Because you're just too !@#$ing cool. Just like me. Screw it. Let's go post in Dean's lunch meat topic...

Maybe you're an exhibitionist. Mabye you like to tape yourself... Maybe. (I'll bet a third of the board's under-30 male demographic just dropped dead at the very thought. )

Because they wanted a west coast game to show in the Pacific prime-time slot. And Oakland-San Diego is probably one of the better drawing matchups for a west coast game...not Denver-Oakland, to be sure, but for the most part it covers the greater part of CA.

As far as I know, this is Kornheiser's first broadcasting gig, so he might grow into it. But no matter how well he does grow into it, listening to Theisman isn't the same without Macguire in the background laughing at him...

No, that's a simple observation: why would anyone expend the time and effort to write viruses for an uncommon platform? There's no viruses for my Atari 800XL, either...doesn't mean my Atari's more secure than a Mac, it just means there's no upside to anyone in writing a virus for a machine that only I still run. And then there's the simple fact that the people who write viruses tend to be superuser-types that absolutely loathe the "accessible to every drooling idiot on the planet" approach Microsoft takes to software development (the !@#$ing dancing paper clip in MS Office, for example...I hate that thing. Most of the non-technical users I know love it. MS targets them, not me) and have their own evangelical reasons for targeting Windows. And then there's every competent sysadmin I've ever talked to who's worked with Windows boxes, and secured them perfectly. Again, Windows' "bad" security is due in no small part not to the technology but to the user base they target, who don't know the first thing about security. Generally, IT security is incompatible with Microsoft's traditional marketing goal of making software accessible to the public, so MS software tends to be less secure out of the box...because it sells better that way. Microsoft, by their own admission, isn't a tech company, they're a marketing company. And they are VERY good at it. They didn't get 90%+ of the desktop market because Windows is good, they got it because it's more accessible to the average user. Personally, I don't have a dog in this hunt. I have to use Windows for work (clients run Windows servers. Even my Java- and Oracle-based clients run Windows servers, which is idiotic). I've hated every Mac I've ever used...and if I want to use FreeBSD, I've got three different flavors of Linux at my fingertips right here at my desk. But pretending that Apple's market share has nothing to do with their lack of virus attacks is silly...any half-decent security expert can tell you that security is far less technical than it is psychological, and that basic psychology dictates not wasting your time attacking an uncommon platform rather than the ubiquitous one.

I think your support more than qualifies him for the title...

If Mac OS were as ubiquitous as Windows, it would get attacked just as much and just as effectively. MS OS's are in large part victims of their own success: virus creators aren't going to target the 10% or so of computers running Mac OS when they can bring down 90%+ of desktop computers running Windows. Mac OS may be harder to write viruses for...but if it were on 90% of the desktops being run by your average mouth-breathing computer illiterate pez-head, there'd be plenty of viruses targeting it...

Of course, providing the service includes collecting the damn money...so if he's doing a bad job doing that (and generally, taping envelopes to people's doors IS a bad way of collecting money), he's doing a bad job, period.

No. If he's prioritizing video games over doing a good job at his job now, he's going to be a sh------- McDonalds employee when he's 30.

No one who complains Windows ME is the "worst ever" really knows what they're talking about. It's not even the worst Microsoft OS ever. Clearly, you've never used Microsoft Bob.

Yeah. The league's wrong. You're right.

It's a Bruschi thing, you wouldn't understand.

Now THAT was original. I'll wager that's the first time "treacle" has ever been used on the board...

Oh, hey, that wasn't totally predictable. Can't anyone be original anymore?
