I thought it was only $0.70/person? If the cable bill goes up $5/person, then they're really ripping people off more than I thought!

I play on Sportsbook.com. You can bet on sports, play casino games, and play poker. I've withdrawn money before and gotten it no problem, and I think you can still fund it through a credit card (haven't deposited in awhile, so maybe they changed it).

Good game by the ball-less Meatballs too We're rooting for you to win next week and make the playoffs. Good luck!

That's hilarious. I bet Coke wants most people to drink their soda. Doesn't mean they give it out for free.

Isn't it more like you paid $60 for the Bills ticket, were given Sabres and Bison tickets for "free," and then they revoked the Bills ticket?

The NFL wants politicians to bail them out, yet Comcast is the one who went to court to force the NFL to sell their product on a tier they didn't want it on? I don't see the big deal. NFL says "If you want our product, here's what you need to give us." If cable companies don't want it, great. But to FORCE the NFL to sell their product on terms they don't want seems wrong. Comcast doesn't like it, don't put it on ANY tier. What's wrong with that? Your argument doesn't hold water because if everyone chipped in $0.10, you'd still have to pay for the game, as proven when Adelphia raised their rates, then TW ditched NFL and kept the rates the same So your example, everyone would chip in 10 cents and you'd still have to pay $60 for a ticket CW

NFL Network's draft coverage is also far superior to ESPN (or at least it has been the past couple of years). Not having Mel Kiper automatically puts it up a notch

Exactly. My complaint with the cable company, and why I side with the NFL, is that they're trying to force the NFL to put the network on a sports tier. If the NFL doesn't want their product on the sports tier, then they shouldn't be forced to, but NYS did just that. http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6441200.html

Methinks the man doth protest too much.

Look how cute, VA is logging in with all of his accounts to vote for himself.

I'm not saying that Cable companies don't have the right to say no. However, the NFL has the right to say they won't sell the product for less than $X and that they don't want their product sold on a higher tier. The cable company has no right to set the price, which it sounds like they're trying to do. If you don't want to spend $4,000 on a new plasma TV, then you don't buy the TV.

ESPN can charge around $3/household to show poker and spelling bees, but the NFL shouldn't charge $0.70/household? Why would the NFL offer it for free, especially since a lot of people are leaving cable to go to Dish/DirecTV to get NFL Network (I have no numbers to back it up, but I believe it was Comcast who actually filed an injunction to try stopping the NFL from recommending switching to Dish/DirecTV -- so it must've had at least a minor effect on defections). Also, I think smarter people than us have been calculating advertising revenue, and if they were losing more money by "holding out" than they would by giving in, they would've already given in by now.

If you could choose which GLB team to play for, would you pick the Cows, drug-addicted Meatballs, or the boring Longnecks?

Good Ash or Bad Ash?

If he had a medical marijuana card, then he probably wouldn't be drafted high due to the medical condition.

Personally, I don't think desktops matter all that much - they all use the same components and the cases are pretty much the same. Go for low price and good support.

Why do you need to buy your own laptop for work...?

I went to a Lenovo presentation where they described all of the work they put into making one. A tray in the laptop so if you spill liquid onto the keyboard, it funnels it through the keyboard, away from the electronics, and drain it out the bottom. Hinges that are top notch. Sturdy latches that won't break like Dell's do. The trim around the screen is better made and won't scratch. Gyroscopes in the laptop so if you drop it, the OS can park the harddrive head to help prevent damaging the spindles. There was more too that I'm just not remembering. Really very cool.

There are other manufacturers other than Dell. I'm a HUGE fan of Lenovo Thinkpad (formerly IBM). A little prcier, but the build quality is just amazing.

I'm not a Mac fan either. I used one a couple of years back in a Photoshop class I was taking. I liked that I could get a UNIX shell and work faster that way. But the GUI wasn't very intuitive (although part of that might've been because the class had crappy 1-button mice).

So why is the picnic table better than a blow up doll?

No, I'm taking BLZFAN4LIFE's comment about wanting to end a human's life because of it very seriously. There's a difference.

That's even worse that you're willing to condemn a man to death after reading a paragraph blurb on a website because you're too lazy to read the rest of the article. Would you condemn him to death if he was having sex ON HIS OWN PROPERTY with a blow-up doll? His wife? As Beerball said, what if the entire backyard/deck was shielded from view of everyone except neighbors? Do you still think he should be executed? If he went to the school and started humping a table to get a reaction from people, that's one thing. But on his own property? Give me a break.
