    Well, I didn't want to mention this here, but I actually know the guy. He's not only huge, he's brilliant. He was in all AP classes in high school and breezed through them. He had the choice of academic or football scholarships coming out of high school, but chose football because he enjoyed the challenge.

     

    He's really an interesting guy. Even with his accent.

    The Droughns / Ebeneezer trade is good!

    OK - The broncos just traded a guy who has rushed for 1200 yards ONCE for a DL starter and another player. And Droughns will serve as a backup to Suggs. BACKUP.

     

    Henry is easily worth a starting OL - who happens to be in Arizona's doghouse and a pick. I sure am glad Donahoe isn't a spaz and pull the trigger on a player for player trade that didn't give enough value for the Bills.

     

    Henry is better than Droughns, and therefor the Bills will get more for him. Patience is a virtue, in both GMs and fans. Our GM has it, now it's time for more fans to get it.

    Digital Camera

    Agree with everything you said here. I just bought a Canon G6. Wonderful camera.

     

    Anyway, the most important thing in a camera is the lens. Make sure the camera has a great lens. I think Kodak is using Schneider lenses in some of their cameras. I had a Kodak with one of their own lenses in it and it stunk - even at 4x mpixel.

     

    And ignore any zoom that says digital before it. Digital zoom lowers the quality tremendously. You want the best optical zoom you can get.

     

    Cannon is a good brand- I'd stick w/them, Kodak, or Nikon...keep away from Samsung- Sony can be ok.

     

    If you can find a good 4 MP camera, go for it, but you can get away w/between 3 and 4 MP.

     

    Make sure to buy more memory, as most cameras come w/enough for about 10 pictures.

     

    About pixelation- Digital zoom, and making enlargements can cause this, so look for the best optical zoom you can find.

    going to buy an ipod. the question is which one?

    You'll be hard pressed to put together 20GB of music you actually like.  I have MusicMatch Jukebox and have ripped nearly 2000 CDs into a space of about 18GB using the "CD Quality MP3" setting.  Mind you that's not every song on every CD, but it's over 60% of them.

    I disagree. I've got nearly 20 gig and I don't have all the music I like on there yet. Not only that, more and more music is coming out all the time and my coll

     

    I think it all depends on what kind of music listener you are. I rip all my stuff at 160 minimum. 128 sounds like ass. I also like to listen to albums, and not just songs. So rarely do I pull of songs. Of course, not everyone is like that. I'm a music snot, and I admit it. Not everyone is a snotty punk like me, and will be more than satisfied with a 20 gig ipod ripped at whatever bitrate is the default. And that's OK.

     

    The idea behind MP3 players with more storage is to have your entire collection at your fingertips. Anywhere, anytime. No longer do I have to take my CDs to my car or to work. The idea is not limiting yourself to what you have on hand, because you have everything on hand anywhere you go. Of course, not everybody needs that.

    Moulds....Williams.....Wire.....Moorman....No player is ever safe on a TD team.  If he can find talent for less money, you are gone!

    I think you're being a bit silly listing those players. I agree with TD finding talent for less money, though. And that's the way it should be. This isn't a charity or pity party.

    Interesting topic about DRM

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    I think the music industry is going to screw themselves on this one. If songs go over $1, I aint gonna buy. Lots of people won't. If they try to put limitations on when or how I can use a song I purchased digitally, I will not purchase them. Many won't.

     

    I love the ITUNES store because I think the price is reasonable as are the DRM restrictions. That changes, and I'm back to buying and ripping CDs.

    I think everyone knows I'mm against DRM, but there's some interesting ideas being presented on both sides of the fence.

     

    I'm sure this can easily be moved to either consumer or PPP, but it can probably live here too since it's such an all-encompassing topic.

    Only One Starter Drafted After 2nd Round

    Exactly.

     

    I would also add that making the Bills starting roster has probably been a

    little bit easier than making the Pats roster over the four year period,

    seeing as they have won three Super Bowls and we have one season over

    .500, 9-7.

    Could be, but for a period the bills were clearly in a rebuilding mode while the pats were in a maintenance mode. There's a difference.
