  1. Here ya go: http://www.myfico.co...s/Products.aspx
  2. Isn't this considered private medical information and therefore is protected by HIPAA? Why does the employer have a right to run a physical on you...? (yes, I know sports teams do with their players, but they've always been treated different than "real" jobs). It's one thing to look at someone and say, "You're overweight, we're not hiring you," but to run a physical on you and calculate your BMI? That seems overly invasive to me.
  3. Geez, what's wrong with you guys that you're dying so young? Mine said 82! The Bills have over four decades to win it all!
  4. I hadn't thought of that angle... ..but Pizza Hut pizza still sucks.
  5. Ummm, you must be a few weeks behind because the clowns were eliminated a long time ago.
  6. I didn't get the impression they were complaining about it being unfair, but they WERE at a disadvantage having two women who are relatively short. But that's the name of the game - some tasks are more suited to some teams.
  7. I once received a few DVDs since the groom knows I love watching movies (and I rarely drink, so the flasks he bought the others wouldn't have been a big hit for me ). Maybe the comeback game on DVD When my wife and I got married, we went a little crazy with the gifts, mainly because everyone we knew had to come from out of town (since we got married in my wife's hometown, but we had no connections there anymore, other than her parents). So for her brother/future-sister-in-law (who were living together and love drinking wine with dinner), we bought them a fancy wine rack. For the other two groomsmen, we gave them a Palm Pilot - something i knew they had both been talking about for awhile but couldn't justify the expense. Making it personal is cooler than giving everyone the same gift, IMHO. If you want Bills specific, I really LOVED this - the "Bills Football Vault": http://www.amazon.co...33829266&sr=8-1
  8. So I got trolled? D'oh, that's why I don't come here often. lol
  9. It's not a Federal mandate, it's per state. That's a HUGE difference. (aside from the obvious difference of being charged for being alive vs. being charged for buying a product). Wisconsin, for example, just recently forced motorists to buy car insurance if they live in the state. Before 2010, it was optional.
  10. People said the same thing about Apple back in the day...
  11. Lesner wrestled (real wrestling) at the University of Minnesota.
  12. I could do that on my old Nokia phone running SymbianOS. Loved that OS, very ahead of its time. I had that installed on my Bold. I never used it, so left it off of my new Torch. I assume it's still available. I wasn't out at all during those BB outages -- which I found weird, and WISHED I was (since it's just work ). BES seems pretty easy to maintain at this point too from chatting with the Windows folks. I'm intrigued about the security options for Android though, since our security team says that there's no good way to lock it down and that's why they aren't making it an option. I'd probably go Android if I could, mainly because I have the tablet already. They were going to charge more than that because they didn't have AppleCare (secondhand info from multiple people in the office). Most people are just getting replacements since we'll probably be refreshing the entire phone fleet soon anyway.
  13. Apple fanboi!
  14. If the experience at the office is any indication, you have a 50/50 chance of your iPhone battery dying in about 1.5 years. As in it doesn't hold a charge that lasts more than an hour. And can you replace the battery? Nope...
  15. Actually, rumor is that Microsoft/Nokia are going to buy them. Not sure if they'll put WP7 on BB devices or what though...
  16. Blackberry was built with security in mind, so there's email encryption, easy remote wipes if you lose the device, that sort of thing. With a BES server, BB really is the best solution for email. That said, there are options for iPhone that work, just not as well and not as securely. We use GOOD, and it works well enough.
  17. You give up too easily. Two non-game examples is all I'm looking for. And I'll even give you one of them -- playing music on the iPhone is better than on a Blackberry (although it drains the batteries quickly). There, now it's your turn.
  18. And yet you haven't been able to give a single example.
  19. But aside from games, what does the iPhone offer? That was my real question as it seems most of the important tools are available on all platforms.
  20. Yeah, I have no idea. I don't even know what an Airhead is... lol
  21. I'm curious about that statement. In general, my Blackberry does everything I want it to: 1) Phone calls 2) Excellent email (far better than the iPhone) 3) Twitter 4) Web surfing 5) Flixster 6) SSH client (to login to servers) 7) Shazam (if I don't know a song playing on the radio) Yeah, the iPhone has a bunch of games - but I'd rather read through Twitter or the web than play a game on a tiny screen. Other than games, what else does the iPhone do that a BB doesn't? Not much from what I've seen of people at work. That said, one of the biggest complaints about the Playbook is that there isn't an email client. Why does BlackBerry, king of email, not have a client on their tablet...???
  22. Technically it was his first cousin, once removed. Wife and I just saw "Million Dollar Quartet" a couple of days ago. Good show about Elvis, Cash, Perkins, and Lewis.
  23. That's an awesome read!
  24. Really sad story and makes you realize that we don't really "know" the people we "know" online... http://www.neowin.net/news/woman-commits-suicide-live-on-facebook
