  1. How did the new CBA reduce interest in vets?
  2. Wow you know everything there is to know about those 4 items, including such broad subjects/fields as #3 human needs and #4 "technology" ... I don't want you to watch the vid, really I could care less. All I want from someone as dogmatic and naively arrogant as you is to stay away from any technology assignment I may have.
  3. retired old nerds in Florida, probably jealous their grand kids are seeing something they cant have
  4. Based on your know-it-all attitude, the answer for you is no. But since no one knows it all, youre obviously wrong too
  5. Kim in his own words at launch of his new site "Mega". Discusses privacy, government surveillance, human needs, technology ... worth watching no matter which side of the fence you're on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwlLC2PUrH8
  6. If those #'s are accurate that's the only good reason I can think of not to sign him. But I thought given our decision not to resign levite we had more than ample space to sign dansby, the rooks, and byrd to long term deal
  7. I don't know where he ranks in smartest people of all time, but it doesn't take a genius to know what Israel is doing is wrong/immoral/illegal
  8. Some honorable mentions that don't get to rush more but maybe their own bobble head dolls: Jeff Nixon Sam Adams DaShon Polk Fred Jackson Stevie Johnson Will grant George Wilson
  9. US has the ability to restrict access to any server anywhere in the world they want.
  10. if there's anyone who needs to do some reference work prior to posting that would be ummmmm .... YOU. Good grief I take you off ignore after several months and the first post i see is yet another complete whiff.
  11. LOL dumbass Megaupload is a Hong Kong Company ... nice work doing the research before "spouting crap"
  12. Including people who develop ideas they seek to patent and trademark. Theyre using a lot more open resources in their design and development, diluting their claim of exclusivity.
  13. UK cosmologist Prof Stephen Hawking has withdrawn from a high-profile Israeli conference, in support of an academic boycott of the country. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22446054
  14. In this day and age, its getting harder to define and defend IP
  15. Denny green chimes in: "if you wanna sign his ass, then sign his ass. He is what you think he is, now don't let him get away."
  16. Its offshore and its private. US has no authority shutting down foreign companies for activities outside US. The site was not set up to break laws. If some use it illegally in your country go after the users in your country. The main legal challenge dotcom's lawyers pose is simply that: complete lack of US jurisdiction. He may very well win too. Dodd may control his buddy biden at home, but America isn't the world.

  18. In February 2011, despite "repeatedly and categorically insisting that he would not work as a lobbyist,"[20][21] Dodd was identified by The New York Times as the likely replacement for Dan Glickman as chairman and chief lobbyist for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).[22] The hiring was officially announced on March 1, 2011,[23] with his salary estimated at $1.5 million per year.[24] http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Chris_Dodd Acting upon a US Federal prosecutor's request, the New Zealand Police arrested Dotcom and three other Megaupload executives in a leased $30 million mansion at Coatesville near Auckland on Friday, 20 January 2012 http://en.wikipedia....load_legal_case
  19. For those of you not already following the Medgaupload situation ... http://www.forbes.co...-of-kim-dotcom/ Kim Dotcom's latest challenge to Obama administration (even Chris Dodd rears his ugly head)... Megaupload Launches Frontal Attack on White House Corruption Megaupload’s legal team are not restricting their fight with the U.S. Government only to the courts. Today they published a detailed white paper accusing the White House of selling out to corporate interests, particularly Hollywood. “The message is clear. The White House is for sale. More and more of our rights are eroding away to protect the interests of large corporations and their billionaire shareholders,” Dotcom summarizes. Megaupload’s lawyers see the MPAA (Motion Picture Association) as the driving force behind the criminal prosecution of the cloud hosting site and its employees. According to them, it is no coincidence that the Hollywood group is headed by former Senator Chris Dodd, one of Vice President Joe Biden’s best friends. “As the new Chairman and CEO of the MPAA, Chris Dodd improperly leveraged his friendship with Joe Biden to achieve the MPAA’s objectives. Former Senator Dodd’s relationship with the Vice President– who comes off manipulated, a cheerfully credulous facilitator – together with the Obama Administration’s ravenous hunger for campaign contributions, has given the MPAA absolute control over how the U.S. Department of Justice plays the game in enforcing copyright law,” they write. One cited example of how political funding was used to influence decisions was a January 2012 threat from the MPAA’s Chris Dodd. He stated that Hollywood would stop donating to politicians who fail to protect their interests. “By threatening to revoke vital political and monetary support from the Administration at a crucial moment, the MPAA has exercised de facto control over key levers of executive power in Washington – law enforcement, prosecutors, trade negotiators – and is using those instruments of state power to further the financial interests of its members in Hollywood.”
  20. I agree. Speed is a great asset and you have it or you don't. I would caution however 40 time doesn't translate 1 to 1 on the field because players are in pads, on different turf, getting hit, etc. But guys who have it on the field can present a dilemma for defender PROVIDED they have the other requisite skills. In man, a DB either has to play close to the line and try and to get physical, and if he misses get beat deep. Or give a cushion and play off and concede the underneath stuff.
  21. I think we're fast approaching a time when this type of public disclosure will be more necessary
  22. Better than last year is a given IMO, and potentially by a wide margin
  23. I agree its a respectable "con" argument. I buy into the "pro" more because a) I think our O line is good not "shaky", b) pettine should be able to do a heck of a lot more fielding a modern defense than wannie, c) linebackers will be better and d) Fitz is gone
  24. I thought wilfork. He's certainly made our QBs his +@% over the years.
