Hell, they do that every game, and they make about half of em. Today, they kept throwing up bricks. Even when they got open looks, they missed the shot. It was awful. They had a hard time dealing with Memphis' size, and Memphis was on fire offensively. Without a doubt, it was the worst I've seen the perform all season. They made lots of mistakes and had lots of turnovers, something that was completely uncharacteristic for this team. They looked lost out there. Looked like a middle school basketball team vs a high school basketball team.

Macs don't use file extensions, just like Linux.

What a stinker that my team just put up. Good god, they couldn't hit a FG for the life of them until 3 mins left, and Memphis hit everything that they put up.

OpenOffice on the Mac OS X uses X11, which is slow as all hell. NeoOffice is unreliable and crashes a lot.

There was an article on /. talking about how limited the iPhone SDK is, and that it just could be teh downfall of the iPhone vs adroid and other such platforms

A warning on OpenOffice... it doesn't work that good on a mac. There is something called Neooffice which is the port, but its nowhere near as good.

Dane Cook is a standup comedian? Don't you actually have to tell JOKES to be a standup comedian?

I am biased as !@#$, but I think Rick Barnes is a better coach than Mack Brown, and easily one of the top 5 coaches in the country.

Where is none of the above?

WTF. Even THAT article talks about Pittman losing weight.

Actually, the GMs do know because they release all of the information to them. In addition, the overwhelming evidence (except for early reports about the rumor) point to it NOT being a six. Its too bad that the Houston Chronicle doesn't keep their articles archived online (that I can find), because they had several articles about it. As far as 16 being a "horrible" score, I showed above that one can be a good QB scoring less on the test.

I had a dream last night about Tiger Woods swearing on the golf course.

Now you are making people load two threads. Even more bandwidth!

I am high on c0ca1n3, not ko simpson.

“To renew our economy — and to ensure that we are not doomed to repeat a cycle of bubble and bust again and again — we need to address not only the immediate crisis in the housing market; we also need to create a 21st century regulatory framework, and pursue a bold opportunity agenda for the American people,” Obama said.

He's a bit small to be a lineman, isn't he?

Someone explain to me how stricter regulation would have prevented this problem.

I'd take the #27 WR, since I have him rated much higher than #27.

Actually, Vince scored a 16 on the only properly administered Wonderlic test, just like I said. No joke here, I'm dead serious. http://deadspin.com/sports/college-footbal...ight-157115.php http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/11590315/ http://sheil.newsvine.com/_news/2006/02/27...lly-scored-a-16 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Young

Sure they do, they rely on those things for information about the candidates. Statistics show that most people form an opinion about a candidate based upon the media. You are right that Party ID is a good predictor, because people will generally vote for the candidate that is "less evil", which is typically the party that they agree more with, even if that contradicts their opinion of a candidate. If you remove the party label, they will still use the same method to form an opinion about a candidate, and will vote based upon ideology ("I claim I'm a conservative!") or personality instead of party label. I'm not sure if you have access to JSTOR, but if you do, there have been several studies done on the states that have nonpartisan elections for some offices. This one by Adrian, for example, found that "Nonpartisanship encourages the avoidance of issues of policy in campaigns." I will retype the relevant part here: Some other things noted about nonpartisan elections relevant to our discussion here: - Nonpartisanship tends to frustrate protest voting - Nonpartisanship produces a legislative body with a relatively high percentage of experienced members, making for conservatism - There is no collective responsibility in a nonpartisan body Other studies on JSTOR find that race and class become defining issues in nonpartisan elections.

I wasn't arguing that there would be more money in politics, but rather that a candidate's individual wealth would play a much larger role. When you don't have an organization that helps with fund raising, you're going to have to raise that money somehow to run a campaign - which would likely come out of their own pockets. Massive wealth would become a prerequisite for running for office, which I do not think is a good thing. Getting rid of parties would not change that the process is money driven. The ONLY thing that would change this would be to hold completely publicly financed elections. Why? What is the incentive to become more informed? Why would someone that is relying on television commercials, talk radio, or cable opinion shows change their way of researching candidates? What is the new incentive, for all of a sudden getting rid of parties? Why wouldn't they vote? The campaigns themselves are the ones that drive out voters, and they would find new ways to do so without the party label. I don't see campaign strategies in this area changing all that much without parties, and I don't see the effect that you are talking about. Elections would become MUCH more candidate-oriented than they already have become in the U.S. What a candidate looks like and how they present themselves personality wise would become larger factors. Ideology ID would replace Party ID. "I'm a conservative, this guy in these commercials made himself out to be the most conservative candidate out there, I'm going to vote for him." The media and television commercials would play an even larger role, with the media pimping candidates who are running on a pro-media agenda even more.

I've wooted all the time, just never from wine.woot!
