  1. Brett, what's your internet speed?
  2. The commentary on Rodgers' "unusual delivery" probably should have been "balk."
  3. I believe I posted this earlier, but a typical serving spoon in a buffet restaurant has more bacteria than a typical toilet seat. So yeah, the chocolate fountain would fit into that. If you're eating at a buffet, using hand sanitizer before, during, and after would seem to be in order.
  4. I've decided that talking on a hands-free phone while driving is just as bad as talking on a handheld.
  5. I'm going to have to look into this for you. I'm kind of tied up today, but I can check more thoroughly tomorrow. In the meantime, if you can send me a PM with the edit, I can do it for you.
  6. Ben Sheets didn't "have" to have Chad Moeller. It just worked out that Ned wanted to use the personal catcher concept to divide up duties. Ben's comments about the situation were pretty nonchalant, and as the season went on, Miller caught Sheets too. I think bork is on the right track as far as the Lucroy-Wolf thing. Luke was called up earlier than expected and likely didn't have much experience with Randy. Last year, he missed spring training. There's no indication of any personal issues between the two. I'm glad they're working together this spring. Hopefully, some good results come of it.
  7. I've removed 36 posts that were triggered by a suggestion that Luke may be "dumb" because he and Randy Wolf have had trouble getting onto the same page. If anyone would like to start a topic on the Lucroy-Wolf situation, feel free. However, let's leave allegations about a player's intelligence out of it.
  8. kalle8 caught the mistake before the Brewers did.
  9. You could use chadomac's term and call it the Dweeb Bar. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt and refer to them as gurus until they fail me. When they goof up, they used to be downgraded to geeks or nerds, but I now like dweebs.
  10. There is always the risk that Lucroy will suffer a career threatening injury or otherwise fall of the face of the map. In the case of major injury, insurance would likely kick in. That would mean that if Luke were out long enough, the team would be paying a deductible rather than the full salary. There shouldn't be any issue in obtaining insurance on him at this point.
  11. I didn't take the time to find a good article, but I believe that a small number of third generation iPad buyers are experiencing WiFi issues. The solution might be as simple as bringing home a different iPad. But like I said, only do that if you're guaranteed more time to opt to return it outright.
  12. I'd go online and make a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store. That way, you get one on one help, and you'd also be testing on their network. If the Genius Bar guru can't make it work, exchange it with the provision that you can return the new one if necessary. If you do determine at some point that you need a new router, you certainly don't need to go with Apple's Airport Extreme. It's very nice, but it's also way more than most people need (although it's priced comparably with similarly-featured routers). EDIT: The point of testing on another network is troubleshooting. The process of elimination can help isolate issues.
  13. I think we're gonna need a bigger thread.We have a bigger thread. Yuniesky Betancourt "neck and neck" for Royals 2B job
  14. Pursuing legal options may not be really practical during the season. If he does file a lawsuit, any actual court stuff that requires his presence would likely be delayed until after the season. Anything we'd be likely to learn would probably come from testimony. I think it'll be awhile before any of that happens.
  15. If you run into this again, could you post any error messages that you might see?
  16. Were the forums previously working consistently in those browsers?
  17. Get a used tire and hold out until summer for the more costly replacement.
  18. I don't see a simple answer if you're comparing Apple TV vs. Roku and wanting to know which is better. Much of what the two devices do overlaps, but a great deal is different. Roku allows users to add streaming services. Apple TV doesn't. On Roku, it's difficult to access media on one's computer. On Apple TV, it's easy. Roku can be hooked up to an old TV. Apple TV wants an HDTV set. With Apple TV, you can wirelessly display your iPad's screen on your TV, and as of this summer, you'll be able to wirelessly display your Mac's screen. This could be very useful to some and totally irrelevant to others. When comparing, the more proper question is likely "Which is better for me?" It really depends on what you want to do. Given that neither device is very expensive, some people may decide to own one of each. If you're zeroing in on one or two services, you can probably do the "which is better" thing, e.g. "Which device has a better MLB.TV app?" or "Which device has a better Netflix app?"
  19. thanks for the pairing suggestion casey. I feel a bit foolish that I hadn't thought of that. I paired my desktop with its remote and that solved the problem. When you're frustrated, you don't think of the obvious. I have two DirecTV receivers in the same room, so I have to do some configuration with the remote to keep things straight. Definitely call Apple's tech support. They're usually very good. (I've run into a few duds, but they're the exception.) They'll stick with you, though, and they'll elevate you to a higher level guru if necessary. I assume that your WiFi is working properly with your other devices. That'd be an important thing to tell Apple as it would confirm that the issue is in the iPad rather than elsewhere. As I mentioned earlier in this topic, I've gotten great mileage out of AppleCare (extended support). I believe you have a month to decide whether or not to purchase it for an iPad. One thing that's nice about AppleCare for iOS devices is that you have some accidental damage protection.
  20. If I close this thread it will almost guarantee that you will get snow in May and June. Just to add some trivia, I read somewhere that every county in Wisconsin has gotten measurable snow in the months between September and May. No Wisconsin county has gotten measurable snow during June, July, or August.
  21. We have a couple of current topics that might help you: Roku Apple TV and MLB TV This topic may easily extend outside the scope of those two threads, though, so it's not necessarily a duplicate. We can't get into ways to obtain games that one isn't entitled to (e.g. getting live broadcasts of games that are blacked out). We don't want to be subject to any "cease and desist" requests (or orders).
  22. There must be an easy solution for the remote as you need to have your computer turned on to use its iTunes library on the Apple TV. Does this help? Apple TV: Pairing and unpairing the Apple Remote Otherwise, call tech support. Get started with your new iPad might help you get going.
  23. My gut says that battery life and space are probably the greater concerns at this point. These were the reasons that the iPhone 4S didn't include LTE. Outside of AT&T and hotspots, Apple's been pretty successful at getting carriers to do what it wants. It seems that LTE is "barely big league ready" at this point. Once the technology matures, I think we'll see both Verizon and AT&T in the same unit. Apparently, some low resolution apps do just fine on the new iPad while others look lousy. Amazon's Kindle App fell into the "looking lousy" category, but an upgrade was released the day after a review pointed that out. For an initial iPad purchase, I'd just go with the flow with apps. If one is looking to upgrade, it may pay to research current apps to see if they've been upgraded or if the older version looks OK.
  24. "The Cloud" bothers me too. Avoiding capitalization and referring to "cloud storage" bugs me less. I guess saying "cloud" is more efficient than saying "space on some server" though.
