  1. Weren't saying this when we were 14-68 or w/e were we? Unless that player was Beasley...
  2. Going to be 70 today feels like baseball
  3. LOL @ the rep, didn't even know CF ventured into baseball, he must have a button that let's him see all the Heat-hating posts, actually I do remember he is a bit of an Indians fan but still LOL Anyways I'd agree, it certainly rings true on this forum , but still in general it's not because Philly fans have the brightest fan base, although they do have some smart fans that I know, but any fanbase is smarter than those Massholes. Still lol @ Pap taking shots @ Boston.
  4. If I've learned anything from preseason over my life it's it means absolutely nothing. Some guys have the best springs you ever seen and play awful in majors. Only thing preseason is for me is I get to see my Mets again before April...
  5. Why does age matter? Would you have a problem if he were 12 or 50? This happens in college sports all the time lol. Football mostly. You just don't realize it because no one cares to mention it. What age would set the limit at? You can't play amateur sports when you are over 24? Lol ignorance.
  6. LMAO, reminds me of my high school time when we played a team we knew we couldn't beat which was basically every team, but we had a play called Tigers which was basically a weave at mid court until 5 seconds left on the shot clock, ended up losing like 70-10 lol.
  7. Bill Gates on "anti-consumer" Blu-ray, and the "last physical format" By Ken Fisher | Published 6 years ago Bill Gates sat down for an interview with the Daily Princetonian and shared his views on a number of things, including the next-gen optical format battle. The interview covers a number of topics, including the coolness of Microsoft and Apple, but what caught my eye were Gates' comments on Blu-ray versus HD DVD. As you know, Microsoft has backed HD DVD, citing among other things HD DVD's requirement of mandatory managed copy support. I covered those claims and more at length. Gates' comments follow that of his company: without managed copy, consumers aren't getting a fair shake. Gates: Well, the key issue here is that the protection scheme under Blu-ray is very anti-consumer and there's not much visibility of that. The inconvenience is that the studios got too much protection at the expense consumers [sic] and it won't work well on PCs. You won't be able to play movies and do software in a flexible way. It's not the physical format that we have the issue with, it's that the protection scheme on Blu is very anti-consumer. If [the Blu-ray group] would fix that one thing, you know, that'd be fine. The interviewer doesn't follow up on this answer, but if I could I'd ask Gates if he means to suggest that mandatory managed copy is really the only issue keeping Microsoft from backing Blu-ray. Previously Microsoft also indicated that manufacturing lead times were too long for Blu-ray, and that capacity is more of a problem for Blu-ray than we're led to believe. Since those claims were made, Blu-ray backers have been very vocal about their plans for launching hardware soon, with Dell getting ready for a spring launch, and AOpen claiming to be ready to ship drives next month, although the exact feature set remains to be seen. Gates made an additional comment that I think is worth noting: For us it's not the physical format. Understand that this is the last physical format there will ever be. Everything's going to be streamed directly or on a hard disk. So, in this way, it's even unclear how much this one counts. Will HD DVD or Blu-ray be the last physical format? You could certainly make a strong case for that. Of course, until AACS 1.0 is published, we won't know what Blu-ray's managed copy support will look like, but I definitely applaud Mr. Gates for being aggressive and pushing for managed copy. Last format or not, centralized storage systems and streaming media is the future, and managed copy is a (legal) step in that direction.
  8. Awful didn't even recognize Chandler now that he shaved
  9. Goverments fault for allowing those people to get the mortgages in the first place...
  10. Haha that's me Yeah that's America for you... > In a recession saving all your money > Watch a 30 minute video and send it all to Africa
  11. Well just because it doesn't take disks doesn't mean it will be completely digital, they are talking about doing some like DDD said in the post quoted above, I forgot what the technology is called, supposed to be expensive though.
  12. Wow very depressing news, kid is a lot of fun to watch, hope he can make it back out there next season...

  16. Idk left field looks like a wall from an airport and and the monitor looks cheesey, not to mention the fence on the third baseline looks stupid. In terms of the stadiums constructed in the past 10 years, it's the worst imho.
