  1. Does anyone else get the feeling that VP Logan is in on this attack? He really moved quick to thwart CTU's operation, but has been hemming and hawing on every other necessary decision.

    I think he's just an idiot that can't make a decision under pressure. But once he does, if anyone goes against it, it pisses him off and he can't think straight.

  2. Sin City Quotes

     

    Stuka: [after getting shot with an arrow] Hey... Will ya look at that? It's right through me. Guys, look. It's cut a hole right through me.

    Bozo #1}: There's something wrapped around it. Some kind of note.

    Manute: Give it to me.

    Stuka: Guys, this is starting to really hurt. Just look at it. It's poked a hole right through me. Guys?

    Manute: [reading the note] McCarthy, you fool.

    Stuka: Guys, don't you think maybe somebody oughta call a doctor for me or something? This isn't the kind of thing you just ignore, guys.

    Manute}: Out back. Everyone. Bring the women.

    Stuka: Guys?

  3. My parents are telling me to slow down and look more, but i've already looked at every single house in town at our price range.  They keep using their example of looking for almost a year, and bla bla bla.

    People have told me this also. We just found the house we want to get, and this is the first one we've looked at the inside. Ou realtor kept sending us info on houses that were in our price range, and we were able to dump alot of them either because of size, or location, or features. Then the ones that survived that first go through, we drove to the area to see the outside. This one though did not come from the realtor, it was a friend of my GF's that owns it. It hadn't even gone on the market yet.

    We're getting the home inspection done Friday afternoon. After that will decide if we'll either stick with the offer price, change it, or not get the house at all.

  4. There should be a police report since the girl got ticketed. If so, report it to your insurance company. They will go after the other driver's insurance company since the girl was at fault. The other company should provide a rental vehicle while yours in in the shop.

  5. Giants, N.J. reach agreement on stadium

     

    A source close to the negotiations told The Associated Press that the deal was for 40 years, but included several options that could extend it to 98 years. It also called for the Giants to receive 75 acres of Meadowlands property - the current stadium site is 28 acres - and gives the team all money earned through the sale of naming rights.

  6. Yes, because that game was a strength of schedule game last year.

    This year we play the entire AFC West division. It just turned out that we play @ Oakland again.

     

    I'll be there again. I hope some of you TBD'ers will make the trip as well.

    That's also why we play Cincy at Cincy again this year.

  7. He was charged with four counts.

    1. Murder in the first.

    2. Kidnapping

    3. Sexual Battery on a incapacitated person.

    4. Sexual battery

     

    It's up to the jury if we feel he deserves the lessor counts of each accusation.

    After murder in the first there are 3rd degree murder and then manslaughter. The lessor charge of kidnapping is false imprisonment and Sexual Battery stays the same.

    I notice your location is Florida. I believe NY (and I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong) you can only try them on the charge brought forth by the DA. If they are not convicted on (in your case) murder in the first, then there can be a new case for a lessor charge. But they can never be re-tried on a higher charge for the same case.

  8. manslaughter and false imprisonment. This guy (the defendant) should never had taken the stand. He convicted himself with his inconsistent testimony.

    I'm still mad. I wanted murder in the first, kidnapping and sexual battery.

    300603[/snapback]

    I thought that the DA's office sets what the case will be tried as, not the jury. How can you want murder, kidnapping, and sex batt if the DA is trying them on manslaughter and FI?

  9. I got out of jury duty a few years ago on the first day, not because of something I had said though. The defendant never showed up in court, so the judge issued an arrest warrant and let us all go, having "fufilled our obligation for the next 4 years".

     

    I've got connections with several police agencies and lawyer offices, so it's doubtful they'd want me on a jury anyways. But for the average person, I would suggested becoming very aware of anything on the news about upcoming court cases. Read the newspaper, watch TV, so that if they question you, you can answer "well, the media says...." Lawyers hate when people base their opinion on what the media is saying about their client.

  10. It's a Dell 8200 and the warrenty expired last month (figures). The cd drawer won't open when I push the button either. 5 year old daughter could have done something but I don't know. I don't mind opening the case.

    300505[/snapback]

    You could try getting Dell to cover a replacement drive since it's just a month out of warranty. And pigs could fly. :D

     

    As for getting the drawer to open, look on the front of the drive for a small hole. Take a paper clip that's been straightened out, and push it into the hole, you will feel some resistance. Keep pushing till you see the drawer pop open. Pull it open the rest of the way with your hand. While it's open, hit the button and see if it goes back in by itself. If not, it's a bad drive, though I already suspect it is since the lights on all the time.

  11. Ok... if it's one of those "say your question at the tone" lines, just say jibberish.  they'll route you to an operator (don't want to put those that can't talk right at a disadvantage).

     

    I do that every time I call Apple about anything...

     

    "State the name of your computer please?"

     

    "Taco fish mart horse drawn swiss cheese road trip."

     

    "I'm sorry, I didn't understand, please try that again."

     

    "Balls hat Wichita underground police crab leg party."

     

    "Please hold while I transfer you to an operator..."

     

    The best part is watching my coworkers look at me strange when I rattle off a line like that.

    One company I call from time to time is like that. No press this button for this option, it's all voice recongnition. So I usally just babble something to get connect to an operator.
