  1. Well, if you must know, I had my Bills flag out till about halftime, when I took it down because I was going to the bedroom to watch the end of the game. And what happens? We lost. Now, if I had left the flag out the entire game, we'd be celebrating being in 1st for the AFC East. That's Karma.

  2. It's actually old news, I started seeing it in late 2003 with IBM Netvistas. It's an interesting story......

     

    Leaking Capacitors Muck up Motherboards

     

    While a unit is in warranty, manufactures will usually replace the motherboard. Once it's out of warranty, you can either find someone to do the replacing of just the caps (badcaps.net), or if you're handy with a soldering iron, replace them yourself.

     

    The issue we were seeing in IBM's was when running W2K Pro, the system would reboot itself before it finished booting. First it might happen once, then twice. Eventually, it would never finish booting, just a constant reboot.

  3. I sent an email to DHL, expecting to get some type of reason why it was going to take an estimated day longer.  I mean, even if they would have said its because its guaranteed to be 2 days, while ground is sometimes one day, sometimes 5 days, that would have made sense.

    Air and Ground shipments are sent two completely different ways through the sorting facility. I always look at where a company is shipping from while deciding between ground and air for any of the carriers. Anywhere in the Northeast, I will usually choose ground because that will take anywhere from 1 to 3 days. From the mid-west to west coast, either 2 or 3 day air, depending on cost.

  4. I recall reading an article awhile back that said as much of a prick as Modell was for moving the Browns, he actually helped stabalize the NFL.  It sent a shock to the other NFL cities that they should build/improve or consider building/improving stadiums and improve lease agreements or they too could lose their team.

     

    Off the top of my head, since the Browns moved:

    Bills: Renovated the Ralph

    Steelers: New Stadium

    Cincinnati: New Stadium

    Patriots: New Stadium

    Indy: Trying to work out new stadium deal

    Philly: New Stadium

    Washington: New Stadium

    Chicago: Renovated/New Stadium

    Detroit: New Stadium(i think)

    Tampa: New Stadium

    Seattle: New Stadium

    Didn't Green Bay also do some renovations?

  5. Hey, with the way things are lining up against the Bills, we needed an out.  The only other difference is we didn't have someone in from out of town, like the last three get-togethers, but that would mean blaming just about everyone else here....hey, there's an idea...  :doh:

     

    Of course, we won't need the out. :doh:

    Sorry, I was in Johnson City today. Yesterday I was in Rochester in the afternoon, but did not want to screw with Karma by having a plate a day early.

  6. Hey, they're 3-4, going up against a wounded Patriot team on national TV next week.  One that gets Bruschi back, I know, but we have no idea how well he'll play.  The guy did have a stroke, after all.

    I don't know anyone that has had a stroke and been able to recover 100%. Of course, I also don't know that many stroke victims, nor am I a doctor, and it's been awhile since I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express.

  7. If she's like most regulars, she's probably found a familiar parking area where she's comfortable and goes there for each game. Following your advice, Cindy would forever have to be on the lookout for these clowns and start parking somewhere else.

    Cindy was parking in a different area than she normally does. If she wants to explain why, she will, it's not my place to explain.

  8. Does Hammers lot have security?

    His attendants stick around during the game to watch the vehicles. That's one reason we have our Annual TBD Tailgate there every year, is that we don't need to take everything down and store it while going into the game.

     

    As far as I know, no one at our Tailgates has had a cooler stolen (old timers will remember Heitz and his story of woe).
