  2. so in the end, the chief's record was around 50X louder. it would have been cool to set a new record, but that is amazing.
  3. It's an episode of Hitchcock presents called "Lamb to the Slaughter"
  4. I am a Canadian Jew who is vaccinated. My child is also vaccinated. Am I allowed to enter Disneyland?
  5. Perhaps, but is it as helpful as a o e u i d h t n or s?
  6. Yes, I made the switch many years ago after reading that QWERTY was designed to slow down typing. I hate crap like that...sticking to a tradition even thought that tradition is clearly inferior. What the hell is ';' doing on the 'home row'??? Whenever I am unsure of my decision to switch, all I need to do is start typing on someone else's keyboard. I feel my fingers stretching further and general discomfort when I do that. Interesting things about Dvorak: 1) It really annoys other people when they borrow your computer for a minute. Of course they can't type on it, so they have to switch the OS over to qwerty. And if you physically switch your keys over to Dvorak as I have, it can be pretty funny. Don't look down! 2) I work in IT, so I am often other people's computers. Then I am stuck in qwerty mode for a minute. It took me quite a while to be able to switch back and forth from qwerty and dvorak smoothly...I am finally bilingual (bitypual?). Now I find myself commiting cross-keyboard typing errors (not that much, but sometimes). 3) Even IT guys think it is nerdy.
  7. lots of ways to go in terms of the actual recipe, but IMO, the key is San Marzanos. edit: i buy them at costco here in canada, where they are about 1/4 of the price you will find at the grocery store.
  8. sysadmin here. Greg F has nailed it. First, 5 Mbps is not your problem, you should have plenty of throughput available for that. Check that your provider is not limiting your bandwidth, change providers if necessary. Second, the raid. Software raid won't get the job done, especially when it comes to recovery (speed takes a hit too). The array must be hardware controlled and even then you have to be careful that the raid card is legit. Even then, you have to be careful. Sometimes a server will come with 'built-in' hardware raid which is in fact raid software that runs from the BIOS. That's what we call 'fakeraid' and it is garbage. The array MUST BE HARDWARE RAID, accept no substitutions.
  9. I am a canadian from hamilton and I love buffalo! This Pegula news is so great, couldn't be happier for you guys, it's like watching someone you love open a christmas present.
  10. i thought this thread was about this show (Utopia series UK): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2384811/ save for the name, these shows have nothing to do with each other. one difference being: the series is great!
  11. if you are not using it already: http://memcached.org/
  12. Crayonz was eloquent compared to this drivel.
  13. to answer the OP, i say improve special teams. according to : http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/drivestatsoff2013 we rank 30th in average starting position after a kickoff. this translates to the league's worst starting drive position for our defense: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/drivestatsdef2013. amazingly, our defense allowed the fewest yards per drive in the league. what a defense!
  14. As other posters suggested, try to get a receiver only. You'll have many more inputs and outputs to play with than with a blueray/reciever combo. The computer is a special case. You will either use HDMI , optical audio, or 6 separate analogue outputs from your computer...you'll likely have HDMI or optical. Most recievers accept these as inputs. As for software, you need to setup your operating system to use the appropriate output (HDMI, optical or analogue) for 5.1. You will likely be able to test each speaker separately from the software, which can be handy. It may be necessary to configure each media player you use (netflix, vlc, etc) to use the proper output as well. Of course this all depends on your computer's components. If you don't have the appropriate outputs for 5.1, adding a piece of hardware might be necessary.
  15. perhaps the meaning is more sinister, 'everything is going according to plan...the waiter answered exactly as i expected. muahaha!'
  16. i am from hamilton. this is a terrible idea. our inept local government has had a hard enough time upgrading ivor wynne stadium, an NFL stadium is waaaaay over their heads. it would sadden me to see the Bills move anywhere. as bills1960 puts it, "these are the Buffalo Bills".
  17. PI happens on almost every hail mary and rarely gets called...that point is moot. as for the interception/touchdown - if jennings had both feet down when only he had the ball, it's an interception...but he didn't. by the time jennings gets BOTH feet down (which takes a while in slow-mo), possession is simultaneous. if jennings had simply knocked the ball away, the game is over and there is no controversy. terrible play by jennings.
  18. ok, two days late but still...it's a great song.
  19. you mean games when the receivers caught the ball and the offense seemed to click? those were the games i was watching...
  20. bah, it was a good call. That was the kind of play that was working for us earlier in the year. got to actually catch the ball...
  21. No love for Pulp Fiction? Jules: "What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?" Brad: "What?" better not go further, language filter might overload...
