COME ON
Officially now the head of the Lobstein bandwagon.
here's hoping for a great outing from Benoit
if he shows he’s in his pre-injury form, the Rays are loaded in the late-innings.

Also, USF vs Georgetown in the 2nd round of the Big East tourney
If USF wants to make the big one, they need to beat Georgetown and at least be a game opponent for Syracuse. Losing to Syracuse by 24 again is as good as losing today.

Down by 11 at the half.
Georgetown didn’t have a good shooting half either. They’re probably not going to be able to win this.

D Jones
He’s been my boy since he made me look good by taking over in the second half against GT. I was talking so much shit to my friend who’s a GT grad who I took to the game. I was doin the stupid lasso thing and everything.
Is it true that all Georgetown grads are homeless or is that just something us Cuse fans think?

I hope Cuse shows up to the BET
It’s all about exposure and recruiting and a good showing could go a long way to finding the next Big Wes Johnson. I’m afraid they may take it easy to stay healthy for the big dance, which I think would be foolish.

I've know about that router for awhile...
Its cool. BTW- we in the US get much better bandwidth that those in Asia and Europe. And its much cheaper. P Brady, I’m not sure what you are referring to, unless you mean that E1=2M while T1 = 1.5M. But a T1 costs about half as much…

Very late/highly exaggerated swing ‘n’ misses at the plate please, illusions of 95mph fastballs. That extra draft pick would have been nice. Stupid stealing Red Sox and their annoying minor league deal.

Kapler the forgotten man.
Would the Rays be fine with using Kapler simply as a PH/defensive replacement?Possibly DH against lefties if Burrell still sucks? This kind of a quote from Maddon could lead to some serious blindness.
Kap can backup Crawford in LF and Zobrist in RF for days off and would be available to pinch hit for Joyce

I’m a diehard Syracuse fan and…..there isn’t anyway Syracuse will overlook their opponents in the Big East Tournament. I’m just saying…..

I don't think I was saying that USF was going to beat Syracuse.
As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure that I didn’t say they were going to beat Georgetown. ANYBODY who says that USF is going to beat anyone matter-of-factly is simply and idiot.

From your boy T. Hunter
“As African-American players, we have a theory that baseball can go get an imitator and pass them off as us,” Hunter says. “It’s like they had to get some kind of dark faces, so they go to the Dominican or Venezuela because you can get them cheaper. It’s like, ‘Why should I get this kid from the South Side of Chicago and have Scott Boras represent him and pay him $5 million when you can get a Dominican guy for a bag of chips?’ … I’m telling you, it’s sad.”

That's a bunch of rubbish.
It’s easier for blacks to make it in the NFL and NBA. In MLB, you have to go through the minors, which usually means a lot less money. They want to be a star right away. By being a star right away, you’re going to be making a lot of money. That is fact, as bad as it sounds.

They have to start a come back now
With Monroe in foul trouble and on the bench if they want any chance it needs to start now, and Vaughn fouled out. Georgetown have a very thin bench so right it has to start, they got a chance. But USF looks really sloppy.
So I finally bought the bullet and bought MLB.TV
and apparently they will stream clips/gameday audio to my blackberry starting March 18th. This sounds awesome. Is it too good to be true?
I think you'll be happy with your purchase.

Thoughts?
ESPN knows sports, but their record with sports films is a totally different matter. Beginning with 2002’s A Season on the Brink, they’ve hardly delivered a credible sports film worthy of their place at the top of the sports-entertainment heap. Who can forget Tom Sizemore’s ill-fitting Pete Rose wig in Hustle or Oliver Platt’s oversized harrumphing in The Bronx is Burning? Yesterday, the network announced plans to tackle Vince Lombardi, the legendary Green Bay Packers football coach whose name now graces the Super Bowl trophy, and this time, the network is pulling no punches. For one, the film will be a theatrical release, not a made-for-TV effort. More importantly, they’ve nabbed Robert De Niro to play the iconic coach and hired Eric Roth (Forrest Gump) to write the script.

Need input
My boss has asked me to research an office computer (presumably for myself). The stipulations:
- must have 2 video outs
- must have a minimum of 4GB of RAM
- must be premanufactured (so no buying parts and building it ourselves)
- must not ‘break the bank’
I haven’t done this kind of shit in a long time so my computer technology knowledge is old. Anybody know of any better value-for-money machines?

Macs have a much higher price point for the technology you get.
Don’t be fooled by those Mac commercials; the difference between Mac OSX and Windows 7 is marginal. The cost difference relies on 2 factors:
1. Macs are trendy
2. You typically do not need to run an antivirus program with Macs
Because of the lack of an AV application needed on a mac, you get a little more performance for the parts that you get, but if you spend a few extra bucks on your PC, you can buy out that performance difference, so the question is, do you want to spend more to own a mac so that you don’t have to run AV software and possibly draw attention to your trendy computer?

I have never had a problem with Dells
My dad’s company uses Dells and they have never had a problem. To each their own.
From Yer Scurvy Dog SRQman
We switched to Dell laptops at work...
about two years ago and we have had nothing but issues. I’ve never had a problem with a Dell PC, but the laptops are iffy.
Can't really go wrong with IBM (IBM bought Lenovo), but...
You said you wanted 2 video outs. As far as I can tell, this only has one and its HDMI. Most monitors take DVI input (although a bunch now are taking HDMI, but its really unnecessary in most cases). Also, a 14 inch screen is kinda small by today’s standards if you are going to be using the laptop’s monitor.
Are you looking at a desktop or laptop? FYI- check out Dell’s site. Their machines are actually pretty good.
It has a VGA out too.
"Sure, because of the "cold weather" and rain." More bait and switch tactics by the New York owners of this team." --NikoHoullis, the lead blogger at Buc'em on racial and anti-semitic insensitivity.
I started to price out a desktop with similar capabilities and stopped once the machine touched $900; and I wasn't even done configuring it.

I'm guessing, although it doesn't say,
that its either/or. As in HDMI or VGA. And if you are using HDMI on one monitor, you really don’t want to use VGA on the other. You will get a headache. Seriously, VGA is bad. Its digital and, similar to florecent lights, it flickers. HSDMI/DVI is digital. No refresh, no flicker. Don’t use VGA…
I'll look into the either/or senario, but my home machine is currently connected to an LCD via VGA and I don't have any problems with eye-fatigue or headaches so it's not a big deal to me.
"Sure, because of the "cold weather" and rain." More bait and switch tactics by the New York owners of this team." --NikoHoullis, the lead blogger at Buc'em on racial and anti-semitic insensitivity.
Put it next to a digital monitor...
You will. I’m just saying you really don’t want to use dual monitors at the same time one being digital the other analog. Just my opinion, feel free to ignore it.
I'll look into it. Thanks for the info.
"Sure, because of the "cold weather" and rain." More bait and switch tactics by the New York owners of this team." --NikoHoullis, the lead blogger at Buc'em on racial and anti-semitic insensitivity.

Its analog. VGA = analog, HDMI/DVI = digital

Value for the dollar
You can get a lot for a little and their support is better than most. Electronics fail, as long as they replace them I’m happy. I build my own PCs, but in the office we have a ton of Dells. They are all pretty good.

I would dual boot it with your Windows OS of choice and ubuntu linux. Ubuntu is user friendly, well documented, free, impervious to viruses, and is quite modern in terms of supporting various media.

I've used Ubuntu...
I really like it. Good GUI. But don’t plan on running windows apps smoothly. There’s a program that does it (Wine), but it works spotty at best…
That's why he suggested a dual-boot config.
This is probably what I’m going to do regardless since I intend on building a PHP dev environment.

Problem with that is...
You cut your harddrive space in half. Or at least reduce it significantly for each OS. I’ve done that before. IMO, Its best to stick with one or the other on an individual machine.
Indeed, but this is a work machine; I'm doing web development on it, what's most important to me in terms of performance is multitasking capabilities, not storage.
