  1. Apparently a popular T-shirt in the Green Bay area is one with Favre's face surrounded by a Wisconsin map with the words "We will never forget you Brent"
  2. - You don't see the face when a person is bent over - From above, all you see is a kneeling person's hair - When drunk, all chicks are beautiful (This thread is way too serious considering she filed a lawsuit and not a criminal complaint. )
  3. Let's not go there please ..... As for your main subject, I read through the first page of the linked article and the case (if ever there will be one) appears weak. Google is dominating but that is because of the quality of their product and none of their actions seem to be in violation of any anti-trust laws. The Microsoft case was different where one of the complaints was the default installation of their browser and an apparent difficulty in uninstalling it. I fail to see the similarity and I struggle with the reasons for any upcoming federal action against them.
  4. Just got a text that Nic Harris has signed. Didn't see this posted already.
  5. Thanx, Steely. A kind soul will be mailing me an extra ticket he has. If I do not get it before I fly then I will just show up and hope for the best.
  6. I already made this request in another thread but I am begging again - I am from Chicago but will be in the Buf area that weeekend. Would like to attend the Sunday July 26th practice at 2:15 pm. Called the Bills and they said I can only get the complimentary tickets at the Verizon stores in Rochester area. Called all the stores and was told they are only available for local pick-up ! How can I get my hands on one ticket ? Can I just show up and give the above story to be admitted without a ticket ? Please help guys !!
  7. He is a loser. What's the argument ?
  8. I will be visiting the area that weekend and would like to attend the practice session. I know complimentary tickets were available from some Verizon stores in the Rochester area but obviously I cannot go to pick them up. I called the Bills office and they say they don't have any and they were all given to their sponsors. Does anybody have a spare ticket they can mail me ? Thanx in advance.
  9. Thanx. Hope it is up till this evening when I can check from home. Also, I hope the one you create for the 2009-10 season will be atleast thrice as long.
  10. Then there definitely would not have been a controversy. So Fox would still be wrong.
  11. (Sorry for the bump guys) I saw PE yesterday and thought it was a fantastic movie. The movie of the summer, for me, so far. Well directed, acted, written and shot. Re-affirms my faith in Depp after this caricature roles in Pirates of the Caribbean & Willie Wonka. Bale and Cotillard are also excellent.
  12. Totally concur. I did buy a cul-de-sac house for the same reason and am really happy that March-October my kids are out a lot. I rather they hang out with their friends on the block than some place I don't know about. In any case, even if you are unhappy about too many kids around your house & don't want to move, shut the windows and/or close the blinds. Piping porno sounds to the street is idiotic besides being weird. I think he will find that his sudden loss of neighborly love would be worse than the irritation he had with a bunch of kids playing outside.
  13. I have come to the conclusion that PCs owned by Mac lovers crash much more frequently than those owned by others. I have only owned PCs and cannot relate to all these stories about the OS 'crashing frequently'. I use Windows XP on my office computer, Vista on our main home computer and XP on our second home computer. Besides the fact that I hate Vista for its complexity, I have one of the three computers crash maybe once every 6 months. That is not too bad and certainly does not justify the price difference to go to a Mac. Heck, if my PCs crashed anywhere close to once a week, I would be in the market for an alternative. For that matter, most consumers might. The instability and clunkiness plus the customizability of Firefox led me away from IE and I have been very happy using Firefox on a PC. The PC ads are spot on - a majority of home consumers can get a PC with the features they need for far less than the cost of a Mac. I considered it during my last purchase and a full fledged desktop with LCD monitor was less expensive than a frigging Mac Mini. Beat up Microsoft for everything from reducing competition to slow innovation but one thing you cannot take away from them is their ability to bring the PC to the average home user and proliferate the computer as a necessary device.
  14. No fear. If it is the Bills game you are watching, you will underthrow the TV.
  15. I don't think any team is 'America's team'. Meaningless title and insulting to the other franchises which are as American as they come.
  16. Is it just me or do their answers sound mature and confident ?
  17. Me too. I have used the service about 5-6 times and have managed to sell the stuff within a week tops. This included a small breakfast table & 4 chairs, a sofa set, a projector, washing machine etc. (among others) You have to watch out for the responders who claim they are from out of town and want you to mail the stuff you are selling.
  18. I work about 2-3 blocks from Sears Tower and those glass cubes look flimsy from my thirteenth floor (yea I know) window. I do want to go on them but even thinking about stepping in a virtual void makes me light headed. Got to say, great marketing idea !
  19. Same here. A documentary-style story about apartheid of aliens ! I hope it doesn't turn out to be a Cloverfield-level disappointment.
  20. You calling Vontae Davis a clunker ?
  21. I am supporting prostitution with governing laws because (1) I see nothing wrong in people making decisions about their own body. (2) that items such as exploitation and under-age prostitution are prevented.
  22. Yeah, he is injured and that too before he signed with the Bills.
