  1. After about 3441 packets I'm getting a packet loss of 5%
  2. I tried doing a traceroute to google and every time it timed out. There isn't a firewall here, so not sure what the problem is
  3. The point is that the NBA ism a crap shoot when it comes to talent. San Antonio is a powerhouse due to having Robinson followed by Duncan. Did they have some special insight? No, they got really lucky. Fact is the two times the Bucks had the number 1 overall there wasn't the superstar waiting for them. Kidd over Robinson probably would make sense in hindsight, but its not like Kidd hasn't worn out his welcome more than once. The difference between cleveland and the Bucks is that the Cavaliers have James. Was there some special gift for finding talent? No, they got lucky and the NBA was still allowing high schoolers in. Yes you can screw up with great players (say you're Minnesota), but luck has much more to do with winning in the NBA than people are willing to admit.
  4. Kohl is a terrible owner because they got Bogut as a number 1 pick instead of James. Obviously thats Kohl's fault for not being lucky in the right year!
  5. Not really sure if it is packet loss, but thats the only thign I can thing of that would cause me to constantly have to reset everything, And with the router in the basement and the computer on the second floor, its not too fun to do
  6. My brother lives in a rural type area west of West Bend and his only true option for hi speed internet was through wireless. Now going through a standard wireless router caused the thing to disconnect constantly and I was getting speeds near 250Kb/s on his 3Mb/s line. I switched out the routers out (I had tried a cheap netgear as well as a decent Linksys) for a switch. This caused the speeds to pick up to about 2Mb/s, so basically what was expected. Now the switch does have a buffer in it so I was wondering if I'm seeing packet loss and the buffer is covering over that allowing for the connection. Anyone else have Bertram Wireless and experience something similar? The area antenna for his signal is directly behind by about 1/4 a mile so I was wondering if he was having problems because he was so close?
  7. Yankee Hill is the place if you want an apartment building with people pretty much exactly like you (ie young professionals). JV used to have a decent amount of MSOE students, don't know if thats still the case. East Pointe might have more families though that may have changed as well.
  8. Thing is, he can't say anything. Since Bud is still mulling over what he's going to do with the Mitchell report any current player would be insane to say anything because you have no clue if thats going to hurt you. Just ask Jason Giambi.
  9. Calling the Ramirez trade superb is funny. Than again Pat Gillick, does much more need to be said?
  10. Yep you can get really cheap places if you are willing to go older and without central air you can get something really nice. If you want new or newish you'll be looking at around $1200 for a 2 bedroom. Also check the Shepard express or MKE for smaller places. Saw a 12 month lease on a 3rd ward townhouse for $1000 a month.
  11. Studies have been done and the nubmer of pitches thrown hasn't really changed since they went to a 5 man rotation.
  12. If athletes are still cheating for the Olympics which has the most draconian punishments possible, nothing MLB can do will actually solve anything. All they can hope for is they get the pass the NFL gets.
  13. Turnbow didn't go on the mound thinking "You know what, why don't I make it really hard for us to win today!" Yost did think "Sure it may make much more difficult for us to win, but I have to show I'm a man baby!"
  14. So it Fielder's fault for not stoping Yost, its Turnbow's fault and Shouse's fault for not bailing out Yost. I'm pretty sure its the bat boy's fault for not getting Yost the right seat cushion making him antsy
  15. Not really. Major league pitchers have much better control. At this point they have no reason to avoid the strike zone with him.
  16. I'd much rather have Cameron than Willits. And I see no way Willits keeps up his OBP and has an ISP of under 60
  17. More impartial sports journalism: http://misterirrelevant.com/index.php/2008/02/13/dicky-v-kills-any-suspicion-that-he-loves-duke/
  18. Well not sure I can help You could try exporting it as a space delineated text file and the reimporting it to get the names into separate cells and go from there. Of course if you have a bunch of workbook dependent things going on that isn't much help.
  19. Are they in separate cells?
  20. I guess that's exactly what I mean even though it seems counterintuitive. Gallardo is clearly better than any pitcher on our staff with the exception of Benny. So even though we've got lots of pitches to throw at the #2 spot in the rotation, each one is a significant downgrade. And if the injury takes more time than expected the staff will have very little margin of error. And considering that Benny's problems last year was the beginning of the end for the Crew we have to hope that this injury isn't chronic--although nothing at this point would point to that kind of conclusion. Yes they aren't as good, but the dropoff to a Bush or Capuano is much smaller than a similar drop off if Weeks or Fielder went down. Basically your goign to above average to average instead of above average/elite to slightly above replacement level.
  21. My parents have a cordless phone that every time it rings the wireless internet (802.11b) on their computer in that room goes out and has to be reset. So now that I found out why there internet goes out, how can I fix it? Any cheap and or free ways to address this problems since they won't take out the phone?
  22. If by weakest you mean deepest, yes now it only runs 7 deep instead of 8. 7 viable starters is a huge amount, most teams have 4. And this is for like 3-5 starts. The one thing this does do is it makes it easier to option either Bush or Capuano when Yo comes back getting another service year.
  23. Nickleback is a poor man's Creed.
  24. Well Yost "admits" he instructed McClung to hit Pujols. Lets see if he can avoid an additional fine or suspension. He might claim he was talking about that entire time where he got ejected every other game and not the Pujols thing per se. http://blogs.jsonline.com/brewers/archive/2008/02/15/yost-defends-actions-of-final-week.aspx
  25. A Vargas/Mota for Crede deal (like a reverse Brady/Dessens!) might happen if the Brewers feel they need another infielder, but between Counsell and Dillon you'd think its set.
