I want to see this movie, but based on a lot of what I read in this thread, I wanted to read the book first. I picked it up yesterday, and just finished it a little while ago. I definately need to let it soak in for a few days before I see the movie, if not longer. I'll probably go next Monday or Tuesday. Fantastic, fantastic story, but I honestly don't know where the fight scenes and action snippets they show in the trailers are coming from. Action stuff added to appease the movie viewers? I'm glad I stayed away from spoilers and whatnot before I read the book, because all the way through, trying to figure out the "whodunit", I was stumped just up until about 10 minutes before it was revealed. I guess it should have been more obvious, but the story is "that" engrossing.

I bought a cheap, Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo for my PS3, and it works fine. I see no reason any other 3rd party keyboard wired or not, wouldn't work. As far as the backwards compatibility issues, who knows? It's more complicated that figuring QB rating. I have an 80GB PS3 that's a touch over a year old, that does play most of my PS2 games, but not all. It does get hot, but if it's on for more than 45 minutes, I have a small fan that I point at it, and it really seems to keep it from even getting warm. Make sure your PS3 is in an area where there's some airflow, and don't have it set on fabric or carpet.

I'll second Kat. Go buy a good router for 65-70 bucks, and it takes 5 minutes to set up yourself. The laptop should probably have a wireless card installed. And if you run into trouble setting up a wireless network, I'm sure a quick post on this forum is going to get the answers you need.

A word on netbooks. you definately get bang for your buck, but if you are going to spend any amount of time at all using the keyboard to type, you better not have fingers that are bigger around than say..............a toothpick. My wife just got a dell netbook for less than 300 bucks, and while it's got most of what you would use a laptop for, typing on it is an extraordinary exercise in frustration. You're either going to want to spend the extra 200 bucks or buy a usb keyboard to lug around with you.

Given my viewing needs, I think we're probably going to go with a plasma. And I went into circuit city here on the west side of Madison when I left work friday night, and all I can is, "wow, no wonder these tools are going out of business".

I would have to say I am my favorite poster, hands down. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif But seriously, I think xis's posts are (were) my favorite to read. Most insightful/stat minded/cohesive/reliable, I couldn't say. There's more than enough knowledge to go around here.

They'll come out and temp fix it, but they still won't bury it.

I work for one of TW's competitors, and I did about a 2 month stretch where I was on the phone/line repair desk due to a shortage of people back about a year ago. (Also subbed for TW as a sweep tech/fiber splicer many years ago) I can tell you in that 2 months, this call, as an employee, is the most frustrating one to take. First, the parent company almost never does the buries themselves, they sub-contract that kind of stuff. Scheduling is a nightmare, because you're constantly trying to coordinate crap with multiple parties that never seem to agree on anything, and lastly, the contractors NEVER live up to the schedule that they agree to. I know as the consumer it totally sucks to be told time and again "We'll get to you next week", but that's the way it works, unfortunately. It'll get done, but never in the timeframe that you're promised. I was taking calls from people who said our techs were promising 7-10 days for line burial, and we're supposed to set expectations for 6 weeks minimum. That really sucks as the phone guy when you have to backtrack over something somebody else told the customer that was just completely wrong, and you're the one taking the verbal abuse from the customer because "they were lied to".

WOOT OFF!!!!!!1111@@@@ @@@@!!!!!!!!@!!1111!!!!!!!!! 2
DuWayne Steurer replied to DHonks's topic in Off-Topic Forum
This woot-off was a pretty big disappointment. I monitored most of the day from work, yesterday and today, and there just wasn't anything but a few items that even caught my eye. And yeah, I missed the BOC. -
Alright folks, I'm not an internet shopper. Aside from woot occasionally (And this woot-off sucks, BTW). I'm looking at something around a 34" tv, I'm not particular to brand or whatever, but I'm wondering where people go for the best deals on these things. I can go to Best-Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, you-name-it, but I know the best potential deals are online. Where?

Other possible retirements this off-season
DuWayne Steurer replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If someone's justification for not voting for Maddux is that "nobody should get 100%" then that person should be stripped of their voting priviledge. That's the stupidest criteria I've ever heard. And I know, it does happen. -
As others have said, I dont' care that he worked for the Cubs. I care that he's a fan of the Cubs. I don't care if he calls a great game or not, I'll know that any excitement he lets out during a broadcast is fake. Sorry, I like homerism in my radio broadcast. They should have done "Brewerfan announcer for a day" Have one regular poster announce a game with Ueck. A new person every day. That would have been fun.

What if question about strikeouts
DuWayne Steurer replied to vannzee's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
2 batters next to each other in the order with high strikeouts and high OBP are going to hit into fewer DP's. -
If "more than 75%" are or were juicing, is it even *cheating* at that point??? There were rumors (however crazy) that players in the 30's were using horse 'roids. John McGraw and his Orioles were known for cutting corners on bases if the ump wasn't looking. They'd grab the belt or trip a runner rounding a base if the ump wasn't looking. 17 guys were allowed to throw "legal" spit balls after the rule was changed to outlaw spitballs. There's more than scant suspicion that Phil Neikro cheated almost his entire career, yet he's in the hall with nary a complaint, same for Gaylord Perry. Now I'll go on record as saying none of those things (aside from maybe horse steroids) are as bad as juicing, as none of them have a detrimental effect on a person's health. But people act like cheating doesn't happen, and the cheating from "the good ol' days" is even romanticized. Ban the guys that get caught. Make sure it doesn't happen again, but for crying out loud, there's no way you can pretend something didn't happen. Barry Bonds has more homeruns than any other player in major league history. Sticking your head in the sand and saying "it never happened" doesn't change the unquestionable fact that it did happen.
-
Those tests were administered under the pretense that those players that tested positive would be both NOT NAMED and NOT PUNISHED. I say again, unless you release all the other names, and hand the exact same punishment down (which would still be wrong, under the agreement that was made), they should do nothing to A-Rod. What a farce this has turned into. EDIT: I'm sorry Selig apologists, this guys is off the deep end. He's literally making this crap up as he goes along.
-
I'm not a fan of A-Rod at all, but....... Until they "out" the other names, I simply don't care about this. You can't punish him (by suspension or exclusion from the Hall) if his or only a few other names from that group come out. I personally think that the witch-hunt has gotten to the point where it's hurting the integrity of the game more than the guys that are cheating. I'm dead set 100% against players using performance enhancing drugs, but this has just gotten to the point of ludicrousness.

I hear this movie is going to suck. Why?!??! This can't POSSIBLY be compelling cinema. Can't. Nope.

Got it from my brother, he had no idea where the original disk was.

I'm sure it did but the hard drive was formatted, there's nothing on it right now.

Coolness. 90 bucks isn't bad at all. 2nd question.......installing more memory. I'm fairly handy, and I can follow instructions, I'm not much of a tech guy, but I'd rather do it myself and learn than just pay someone else to do it. It's an old computer, and it's not that big a deal if I mess up. The computer I'm working with is at 256M right now, which is barely enough to run most websites, and I'd like to upgrade that. Is physically installing such an item fairly straightforward? What would I need to do to find out what's compatible with my machine? Probably a lot to absorb right there, but what the heck.
-
Where can I get my mitts on a copy of XP? I have an older computer with a formatted drive, and I want to do a clean OS install, and I don't want to deal with Vista (not to mention the fact the computer isn't really set up for it.)
-
The only reason this is a big deal is because it was caught on tape. If you can believe it, there are people posting on IMDB (take that for what it's worth ) that they will now never watch another Christian Bale film. Good grief Charlie Brown..........
-
Where I'm located, I'm getting 5 M from Charter for $29.99, and the next best thing that's available where I'm at (and I've researched thoroughly) is 1.5 M for 29.99 the first 6 months and 39.99 after. The digital cable sucks, it pixelates ALL the time, and especially on FSN during Brewer games, but I'm not inclined to make a switch at this time. All I can say is that I'm in a position where I have a pretty good working knowledge of Dish customer service, and I won't go that route.

Running ethernet cable straight from my modem, which I do have to say is 7 years old.
