  1. Im not as worried about "hair" pollution as Kerry is
  2. Javy Lopez with a HR and its 5-1 Orioles..
  3. I can't say that I do, sorry.
  4. The marketers realize that people who buy these don't read the nutrition label on the back of the box and probably dont care if theres over 100% saturated fat. And if the serving size was 1/2 box, it wouldn't matter because people would still eat the whole thing and thus still get all of the saturated fat. Its kinda like the snack food companies that make their servings 1 cookie. Who the hell eats 1 cookie? Off topic on the saturated fat content, I just ate a Hagen Dazs ice cream bar with a 64% daily value of saturated fat...it was good too!
  5. The Redesigned Nintendo DS The hardware announcements that came may also come to make people happy: # Redesigned to sport a slimmer, sharper look # Features a thinner, black base and an angular platinum flip-top cover # Face buttons and shoulder buttons are larger, and some have been reconfigured for optimum use # Includes a new storage slot for the touch screen's stylus # The speakers now broadcast in stereo sound with or without headphones Link to a nice hi res pic of the newly designed DS. And if you go to Nintendo's site for the DS, theres an interesting feature dealing with the battery: --- Battery & Power Management: The battery is rechargeable and the unit features a low-energy-consumption design. The DS also has Power Management functions of Sleep mode and Standby mode. In Sleep mode, players can stop and resume game play whenever they like. If the user receives a message from a friend or user nearby, DS activates itself from Standby mode. --
  6. It took me a second to figure it out, as I usually ignore ads.
  7. If Bush was willing to storm Iraq and bomb the place to hell, even when he was under the assumption that they had WMD, how would North Korea be any different? Oh yeah, we actually know that North Korea has nuclear weapons that they could use, and they are a tad bit closer to US soil. Speaking of WMD, Im convinced that the intelligence could have suggested that there was a 1 in a million chance of Iraq having WMD and Bush's response, a la Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber would have been "So you're telling me theres a chance!"
  8. Heh. It's going to take a lot more than 4 short years for America to get anywhere close to electing a black president, no matter how good of a speaker he is. But..he went to Harvard!

    I think the background music thing is only supported by IE.
  10. Supposedly theres a "surprise" team that just became interested in Hairston/Roberts, but I really don't believe it. In fact, I doubt, despite the clear need to move one of them, that either will be traded. The Orioles do not need to keep 2 quality 2B on their roster. Oakland was supposedly interested, but Orioles management screwed that up huge by asking for Harden in return for Hairston/Roberts and Julio. Supposedly thats where the whole "Zito for Hairston/Roberts and Julio" rumor got started, but thats not happening either. The only other stange thing I've heard is that the Cubs were interested in Melvin Mora, but I don't think he's available.
  11. At least at the CB you would get grits too, which I like as long as they have cheese and bacon in them. And I like scrapple sandwiches. Everything but the tail and the snout of the pig, oink oink.
  12. Ive seen like 10 different "supposed" spoilers and not one of them matches any of the others in terms of the ending. So 1 of them might be right and the others are wrong, or everyone is lying.
  13. I cant wait until Brock uses a clothesline in a football game to make a tackle and it gets replayed on Sportscenter 83 million times and various news sites make it a news item.

    Firefox is a slimmer download and not bundled with an email client. Firefox is also only at a .9x release which means that it still could have bugs and the like. If I remember reading their forums correctly, Firefox 1.0 is expected to be released in September.
  15. Minutes of the RAW #1 Contender/Champion wrestling on the B show : 0 Minutes of the Smackdown #1 Contender/Champion wrestling on the B show : 4 Velocity ownz Heat!
  16. That was a couple years ago though, and wasn't it the highest rated segment ever? OH OH..you don't mean the "This is your life" segment..
  17. Even though Las Vegas (or some betting people) put the odds of it being Smithers at 115,000:1, if it isn't Smithers then they've wasted 15 years of building him up to look gay without actually having it come out in the clear. They seem to think that it will be Carl (5:1 odds).
  18. Chip blasting through the bowl of caviar while the others complained and cried about it = moment of the episode so far.
  19. This flight to Russia is really going to break up the teams a bit.
  20. 2 Games in Boston back in April got rained out. From the weather report, I dont know if they'll get this one in.
  21. I think the real question is....... how fucking wasted is Teddy going to be? I dont remember seeing him speak before, but he's reminding me of one of those preachers on the Church channels, just by the way he looks. O'Reilly vs. Moore will be interesting.
  22. Correct. Wrong. Green eyes, and I dont think they bug out. Correct. Correct. Wrong, surprisingly, although neither are ultra-disgusting. I just don't clean that often. When I do clean, its immaculate, but especially with the kitchen, it never stays that way for long. Correct to a point. I do have laundry all over the place in my bedroom, and I do watch movies in my bedroom, but my living room is more comfortable, just because the chair I have is a lot better than my bed. Wrong. I can eat Ice cream occasionally but I don't love it.
  23. I would eat everything but the Eggs. Every frozen breakfast I've ever had has always had the same crappy scrambled eggs. Ditching the eggs probably makes the meal at least a bit less hazardous to your health. And, I used to read XE all the time, when the hell did they sell out so much?

    Firefox has positives and negatives, but I find that its much better than IE. For starters, Firefox doesn't have nearly the number of vulnerabilities to hackers and malicious code that IE does. And when they do find one, they fix it pretty fast. I haven't had an instance of a browser hijacking, homepage hijacking, bookmark list full of stuff that I didn't add, or other common problems that IE has. The tabbed browsing is probably the 2nd best feature. Instead of opening multiple instances of IE up to view different pages you just open up different tabs which show up right under the top bar. You can switch between multiple sites much faster since each tab is labeled. The built in pop up blocking/google toolbar/download manager are all nice built in features. Yes you can get add ons for IE that do the same thing, but these are all included in the relatively small download (another plus for me on my slow connection). There are negatives. A lot of times, there will be a page that will load incorrectly. Its not a problem with Firefox, its due to the fact that most pages are written to load in IE which isn't as strict with html coding errors as Firefox is. If a page doesn't load on Firefox or loads improperly, its the fault of the person who wrote the code for the website thats more than likely riddled with errors. This also causes some pages to load properly, but some people say that they load slower than on IE. If anything, I've noticed a bit of an improvement in site loading times over IE, but my connection is really slow as it is. The most annoying thing is that if you use Macromedia Flash/Shockwave or Java, you have to download Firefox capable versions to use them. And many things like the Yahoo Toolbar and other browser enhancements for IE aren't available for Firefox. But there are many Firefox only add ons available for download through their website that do the same things, if not more. The major thing to remember is that its not exactly like IE. You may be able to do one thing in IE by clicking two menus, but with Firefox it might take 1 click or 3 clicks. It takes a bit of time to get used to, but in the end you'll find that anything you can do with IE, you can do with Firefox.
  25. Somehow, I got a chuckle out of this.
