Daily rage
If you’re going to insist that I design your requirements to spec, then maybe you should think them through better so I don’t have to spend so much time redoing everything.
I love clients who, when you spot a problem in the initial spec,
will say “ooh yeah that does sound better” when you suggest an alternative design that meets the original intended purpose if not the original spec.
I could deal with externally driven projects
But most of these are in-house, so I have to deal with the BAs face-to-face. It’s hard to hide disgust.
Computer advice?
So, yesterday the logic board on my 3-year-old Macbook Pro bit the dust and it’s would cost roughly $1000 for Apple to fix it. Eff that. I can either find some other place to fix it for maybe $500 and still have to buy a new computer in a couple of years or I can go ahead and buy a new computer. If I buy a new notebook, I would hope I could get at least some money from selling the parts of my old one, but I don’t know where I could do that.
Currently, I’m leaning toward getting a new computer. I really liked my MBP because of stuff like the trackpad, but I’m open to other suggestions because another Mac would be damn expensive. The cheapest laptop Apple has with a 15" screen (a requirement for me) is $1700. I use my computer so much that it’s worth that kind of money, but I still want to hear some alternative recommendations. What types of notebooks do other people on here use? Do you like what you have and have you had any problems?

I'm open to mac or pc.
I had used a pc all my life until three years ago. The only thing I’m truly hooked on for the mac is the multi-finger gestures on the trackpad. It makes scrolling and navigating a web page much easier and I’ve never dealt with a pc trackpad I liked very much.
"Certainly, we were penalties, and we stopped ourselves." - Les Miles
I'm not too familiar with that kind of trackpad
So, I don’t know if there’s a PC equivalent of it. From my experiences, Dell laptops seem to last the longest, and I always hear that Sony Vaios have hardware problems.
I have a Gateway laptop that I bought like 7 years ago and it’s still chugging along. The power they’re fitting in these things now is ridiculous. I’m not sure how Windows 7 performs on laptops, but it’s the most stable and fastest OS I’ve used on my desktop.
My advice would be to go to a big box store and get a feel for the model you want, and then buy it from newegg.com

The Apple trackpad gestures are almost definitely locked down in patents
so I probably won’t find a pc with that feature.
I can probably get used to not having it, but it is also important for the laptop’s trackpad to be responsive. All the previous pc’s I’ve used have slow, unresponsive, or cramped trackpads, which is important to me because I don’t often use a mouse.

I have a bluetooth wireless mouse I love
(garoonically it’s a microsoft mouse and a macbook), but then my laptop is my only computer so it’s a little different.

Plenty of good wireless laptop mice
It doesn’t bother me to use a touchpad because I pretty much do everything on my desktop, but if you need one, the small ones are pretty handy.

Sure, but where am I going to use a mouse when I'm sitting on the couch?
Maybe that’s the difference – I use my Air only to surf the internet, read LSB, and download torrents that I move to my NAS. I’ve never plugged a mouse into it, and I pretty much use it either on the kitchen table for a few minutes, or sitting in a recliner in the living room.

I hate the multi gesture trackpad on my MacBook.
the right-click ability is dumb and hate trying to click down and drag something….only to run out of room on the trackpad and have to lift up my finger.
Wireless mouse is the only way I can go on my mac and pc laptops.

Yeah, it will never replace my computer
but I would like to have a tablet just because of the size. I have a smart phone, but I can’t stand doing any kind of real web browsing from that small of a screen. I think I’m going to get a tablet when the next generation of processors hit the market.

I have the money
To spend up to the $1700 needed for a new MBP. I would prefer to spend much less than that amount, but I don’t want it to be cheap either.
I don’t generally use my computer for gaming. I use it for heavy internet usage, video, music, and photoshop. I also always have multiple tabs, windows, and programs open at the same time. Along with handling all those jobs, the laptop needs to be powerful enough to keep from slowing down too much over time.
"Certainly, we were penalties, and we stopped ourselves." - Les Miles
do you live in a large(r) city?
you may really be able to get the change done fairly cheaply locally (less than a grand almost for SURE) — at this point if you are that happy with your system i would suggest:
a) find a local company/group/friend/person to replace the logic board
OR
b) look around and find a used/refurbished version of the laptop you currently have (should be discounted, may be less than the grand they want for parts/labor)
OR
c) buy a new MBP
there is no reason to pay apple a grand to fix anything. zip. zero. nada.

There's no way I'm considering sending it in to Apple.
For that kind of money, it is a much better choice to just buy a new laptop. If I go the local repair route, it still won’t be cheap (probably $500) because even a refurbished logic board is expensive. I need to decide whether it is worth putting that kind of money into a machine that will still have to be replaced eventually and will more than likely have other costs before I replace it (new battery, etc.).

No such thing. :|
They tend to be physically built much better than the cheaper grade PCs (<3 ThinkPads), but the internals are basically the same as most everyone else’s: a board put together by someone like Foxconn overseas.
And they usually have much much much better screens.
Yeah
Took it into the Apple store and that’s what they told me. I researched it some and I’m pretty convinced it’s the problem. The laptop won’t start up at all. The computer goes dead only a second or two after pressing the power button.

I sent my MBP to a national outfit for a HD upgrade from 120GB to 320 GB
Bought a (rip-off) $30 laptop shippling box from FexEx Kinko’s and they did the swap for around $130 I think (which included data transfer, parts and return shipping) I can post the name tonight when I get home but they run full-page ads in Mac Life etc.

Think about it this way...
You’re three-year old MBP took a crap. Usually, most CPUs are still doing great after three years. Either it was a bad Mac or that is just the normal lifespan, which I seriously doubt the latter is true. I use an HP dv600, that I got at graduation from college in 2006, installed a new HD, Graphics Card and W7 and it’s still motoring along.

I know what the problem is.
The 2008 MBP has heat issues that they have fixed in recent models, and it causes the soldering to melt on the logic board. Still, it’s obviously not a big enough problem for Apple to fix my computer for free.

They haven't issued a recall or anything
Even though many people have had the same problem. It’s hard enough to get them to replace $80 power adapters that constantly fray because of a design flaw. They definitely don’t want to replace the most expensive part of the computer for free.
It bugs me that even through all their overpricing and greediness, I still have to admit that in general, Apple puts out a superior product.

OS X 10.0 and 10.1 came out in 2001. I don’t think you can even run them on a Mac from 2006.
A Mac from 2006 would’ve come with Tiger, and could be upgraded to Leopard (if it was a PPC Mac) or Snow Leopard (the latest release) if it was Intel. It wouldn’t be supported by Lion, but that hasn’t come out yet.
And Snow Leopard and Lion cost/will cost a whopping $30. Check MS’s OS prices some day…

Here's my thing about soccer.
I do really enjoy the sport, but I don’t watch it that much outside of the World Cup. I think this is due to the fact that MLS is universally known as an inferior league… it might not be as bad as I think it is, but since we in the US are spoiled by watching the best football, basketball, hockey, and baseball leagues in the world it’s harder to convince myself to watch a second-tier (at best) league. The other obvious answer is to pick a team in Europe (generally EPL), but I don’t find any of the big teams particularly compelling, and I’m not a hardcore enough fan to choose a small team that’s harder to follow.

Liverpool has a strong tradition
Hicks rant them into the ground but now he’s gone and they’re on the upswing. Arsenal are very ascetically pleasing but the results aren’t there. They’re also undergoing a summer where half their players want to leave because of the continuous disappointments so…. I’d choose Liverpool.
Sounds good.
I was considering Liverpool earlier for the similarity to the Rangers (recovering after Hicks). Any stereotypes I need to fit into?

I’m just worried they’ll drag it out for forever and then ratings will fall and the network will be like “alright you have the rest of the season” so they’ll cram everything into like 2 episodes and it will suck. I’d much rather them say “alright, next season is our last season” and do it right.

I'm all for more seasons even if they aren't uber great quality
I hate when they’re gone more than the marginal difference in quality.
Also why I liked Smallville for 10 seasons.
I just feel like the story part of the show has been stagnant for a while.
It’s still generally pretty funny, and can definitely mix in some real emotions better than most sitcoms (Lily and Marshall, then Marshall’s dad), but it’s gone from less of “let me tell you a bunch of stories that lead to me meeting your mother” to “let me tell you a bunch of stories about when I was younger.”
You’d probably also assume people wouldn’t post images of dinosaurs with human penises, but I’m looking for anything I can use to put a fighting robot together! -Closure GT, 7/5/11
Also....the "emotion" from the last season was way too much for me.
This show is supposed to be a comedy right? It went to the drama well too often for my tastes.
Was there anything besides Marshall's dad?
Granted, that was a huge deal, but I thought it was pretty well done.
You’d probably also assume people wouldn’t post images of dinosaurs with human penises, but I’m looking for anything I can use to put a fighting robot together! -Closure GT, 7/5/11

You’d probably also assume people wouldn’t post images of dinosaurs with human penises, but I’m looking for anything I can use to put a fighting robot together! -Closure GT, 7/5/11
Hmm
I suppose I feel like every season has had a mixture of plot development (mother/wife) episodes and plenty too.
Maybe, I didn't pay as much attention to last season
but it seemed like it was mostly focused on not-Ted (namely Marshall and Barney’s fathers).

I remembered reading the show's writer/producer/someone important
saying that they were going to explain it, and I think the explanation they ended up giving was that some people just aren’t happy and kill themselves.

It looks like you very possibly would be able to work remotely when the Stars are on a road trip. Get one of those $50 Southwest tickets to Houston and just plan it out that way, as well as having her fly up every now and then when you can’t make it.
It’s not that far, and with all this damn technology, long distance is nothing.

Yes and no
The generic version is Adderall, which is the same chemical but bound with a different protein, so Adderall breaks down in your blood while Vyvanse breaks down in your liver (GB, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry for butchering your work.)
So Adderall is more side-effecty, and Drs are less likely to prescribe it because it has a higher potential for abuse.

plus most people realize
that since it’s generally the officer’s word against the violator (the officer has zero incentive to make it up…we don’t get a toaster if we write the most tickets; however, a violator has tons of motivation to lie…if he gets caught, he has to pay a fine), even if they genuinely don’t think they did anything wrong, the judge will ALWAYS side with the officer.

Incentives for writing tickets
I am truly on the fence about this. And that is because I believe every cop’s story on whether there are incentives for writing tickets or disincentives for not writing tickets. Lots of conflicting stories out there.
The incentive is you get to keep your job.

makes just enough traffic stops to keep the bosses off of him
they say we have to run traffic to show “self generated activity” but don’t tell us what to write. My ticket/warning ratio is usually around 1 to 5, and that’s kind of skewed because I write tickets on car crashes. Just straight up traffic stops? Probably about 1:10

I sped up as I turned out of the parking lot to get into the lane that was the on-ramp. Got busted for doing 50 in a 35, but I think they were really just out looking for drunk drivers from the bar I was at. I was not drunk.

I’ve never had problems with additional screening. I have had problems with a bunch of pissed underpaid officers barking orders and showing attitude in response to the slightest deviation from what they expect you to do. I once had someone yell at me for not pushing my tray down the conveyor belt when I was still trying to put stuff in the tray.
Cops are generally much better about stuff like this (at least in my experience). I think they try to go out of their way to be nice and not escalate the situation unless it absolutely becomes necessary. TSA agents just seem hostile.

There’s been a lot of advancements in the profiling of would-be and -are suicide bombers, from a personality and financial standpoint.
DC is growing in confidence in our ability to pre-screen.
If things break right, more people will be pre-screened and deemed a lower security threat, and be processed differently.
Things might not break right, but this is the central theme to John Pisotle’s ‘vision’ for the Administration.

SPOT has been online for long enough that they’ve made pretty significant headway into it.
The plan for 2012 is for each officer to have better BD training and to incorporate that into decision making.
Probably the biggest issue right now (and he touched on this) is we have very little leeway to make decisions on an individual level, and the officers that actually use that leeway are few and far between compared to those that just go by what the book says in the simplest form.

every PD I’ve ever heard of will punish officers for no-showing in court. Nothing major…“officialy letters of discipline” that will quickly snowball into days on the ground if you keep making the same mistake. Plus if it’s not in his regular duty hours, he gets OT for court. That’s why I always giggle when some guy starts in with the “WELL, YOU’LL SEE ME IN COURT!” Yeah I will…and your tax dollars will be paying my OT for the 4 hour minimum to make you look like a jackass.

Your payday is dished out of a smaller bucket
and the funds that go into that smaller bucket are determined by revenues and definitely not how much OT an officer needs.
I realize officers hate it when people say “my tax dollars pay your salary” so I am just saying that “your tax dollars are paying my OT for me to show up as court” is about as true and relevant.
In Dallas County...
I have had way more cops not show up than show up. I think I’ve paid two tickets here, and between myself, old boss, and a couple of friends who I went to court with, have gotten out of probably 6?
I would (wrongfully?) assume that in Dallas County
cops have more important things to do than show up to a speeding ticket hearing so you luck out with that a lot more than if it were a smaller county.

Took away a lot of the overtime incentive
And what gdawg said plus the fact that the court date is usually 6-8 months down the road and if there aren’t good notes on the ticket, it;‘s sometimes hard to remember. Often times the back of the citation, where we write our notes is left off the copy the DA gives us too. I’m still getting subpoenas from 5 years ago on some tickets.

I’m a super nice guy and I’ve never EVER apologized for writing a ticket. I’ve also never pulled someone over and wrote them for 10 over, though. Maybe a directive from The Top that this area needed extra traffic enforcement because of complaints? No clue.

I'm telling you, I've never sat through something like that.
No matter what, I’m always very respectful and nice to the officers if I’m pulled over or whatever (this is my first actual ticket in 10 years, though).
The whole time, he apologized for having to write me a ticket (“because I seem like a nice guy”) and said he’ll get me out of there as soon as possible.
I asked how much the fine would be and he said I’d have to look at this packet he gave me.

Chizik asked NCAA vice president for enforcement Julie Roe Lach several questions, including why the NCAA had not announced that the Newton investigation was finished, during a presentation at the Southeastern Conference meetings in Destin, Fla., last month.
“You’ll know when we’re finished,” Roe Lach told Chizik, according to several coaches who were at the meeting, the Times reported. “And we’re not finished.”
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?

I may be a Auburn homer
But it doesn’t take a genius to realize that Thamel carefully worded what he wrote and placed the quotes in a effort to sensationalize the article. That’s what gets page hits. The context and tone of that quote make a huge difference in how the reader should interpret it. It definitely tells us that the Cam Newton investigation is still open, but I don’t think the NCAA VP angrily pronounced that major sanctions are about to hit Auburn in front of a room full of SEC coaches. I’ve seen other articles where the quote doesn’t come off nearly as vehement.

whoa whoa whoa, i would not have said anything about auburn getting the death penalty, they arent even eligible for it.
the only thing i would have said is that people for a while have been saying its not over, that the NCAA is still looking around, that there are still things they can find, and how most auburn fans have been vehemently spouting the company line “we didnt do anything wrong, the ncaa is gone, family this, god that, blah blah blah”.

Chone Figgins has been the M's primary 3B this year...so yeah, Davis could go there.
The lowest OBP I can remember a player having with more than 250 plate appearances is Doug Flynn (.221 OBP / 283 plate appearances) from the ’82 Rangers.
Figgins is nearing that record of futility (.231 OBP / 283 plate appearances).
Looks like Tony Reagins made the right call on Vladdy, Lackey and Figgins.

Q about the Yankee fan who caught Jeter's ball
the big deal about the season tix the Yankee’s gave him and the taxes he’ll have to pay on it. now a random person is saying they’ll cover it for him, yadda, yadda.
i recall something happened in Houston w/ the Astros and a giveaway, some random guy won a year of Shipley donuts and was like WTF?
anyway…what’s the big deal on this. i mean do you HAVE to claim on your taxes that you won a year of free frakking donuts or a year of season tickets? i guess you’re “supposed” to and i’m not condoning tax evasion or anything. but you’re also “supposed” to claim purchases made (primarily on the internet) where no sales tax was used, but no one does.
at my old job my boss gave me probably around 20-30 of his NBA tickets per year. should i have claimed that?
yea i figured that
but is someone in the IRS actually tracking this stuff? i mean the Yankee situation is a whole other deal, obviously.

this weekend for a tournament. Any suggestions for food?

McDonalds is pretty good
"In fact, most of these free-swinging Padres couldn’t hit Dock’s funky palm ball. I threw it often. But by then, also, the first acid distractions entered: the TV flickered; the cracks in the wall started to move; the hand soap started to breathe — those sorts of things. Plus I was drawn to the outdoor garden between innings. Rain was near, I sensed." - A.J. Daulerio
I once walked pretty much all the way across downtown SA in July for Marble Slab
When we got there it was closed.

There is this interesting Italian place called Dolores Del Rio on the Riverwalk.
It is a bit expensive, but the food is great. Plus on the weekends, they have live music and belly dancers. It is tiny and popular, though, so you will have to get there early or make reservations.

Taco Taco has good tacos. It's only open for breakfast and lunch
Mr & Mrs G’s has good soul food. I think that’s only open for lunch. I really like Tomatillo’s too.
Not sure what your schecdule looks like
But if you have some time to kill, head out to the Pearl Brewery. They’ve got a bunch of great restaurants and shopping. There’s usually some event going on on the weekends.
There’s a little fish place in there with one of the best lobster rolls I’ve had outside of the east coast.

Greatest Bastards in Movie History
I’ve been thinking about this a lot the last few days. I’m not necessarily thinking of characters that are just evil, but rather characters that are just such pieces of crap that they make you want to come through the tv. That kind of performance seems more satisfying than just hating someone simply for being the antagonist.
The two that immediately spring to my mind are Percy Wetmore from the Green Mile (I didn’t know the sponge was ’sposed to be wet.) and Billy Mitchell from King of Kong.
Anybody else?

Heh
In college we put a bumper sticker on our roomate’s car that said “I Don’t Even Think Straight” with a rainbow on it. He was delivery driver for Jason’s Deli and got honked at daily for a month beore he figured it out.

In high school I would steal the magnets of the Constable's car
and put them on the passenger side of people’s vehicles. They would obviously get pulled over and reamed. Good times.

Somebody pranked my car once
I got her back by writing “4 Sale. $2,400” and writing her phone number on the rear windshield. She got three calls that day about her car. She was so pissed! Heh

Story of the guy who nearly fell at the Home Run Derby.
It explains the story in detail, then also it mentions what Carmikle, the guy who nearly fell, will do afterwards.
It’s actually a pretty good read.

Hey dude
I’m about to post a DBD OT Thread. Probably won’t breach 100 comments (or 50 for that matter) but please help me get it started!
Thanks in advance.

More so than the Rangers have (until last season, of course)
I’m just curious….
I’m doing a pretty lengthy look into the attitudes of local hockey families have towards the Stars, so this is interesting to me.

Historically my expectations for the Rangers have been fairly low
The expectations I had for the Stars have typically been higher (looking back I really don’t know why though). Relatively, their bad years bummed me more because I expected them to be better.
Lol..I don't care.
Just the quizzical response you had made me laugh damn hard.

I didn't mean to say that it was too much
Most of the OT threads here are fairly small initial posts. It was just interesting to open it and see lots and lots of words (words don’t scare me…that much).
Oh
Well, the stuff I cut out was expendable.
It’s also the first one on Defending Big D, so I felt like explaining some rules, even if it wasn’t necessary.

Took a couple weeks for Rhyner to find her, but the P1's came through, I guess...
theoldgreywolf Mike Rhyner
not sure, but we think we’re having tatted up ranger promo hotdog girl with us in studio today sometime in 6p hour
Agreed.
I don’t see it.
"Live like you’re already dead, man. Have a good time. Do your best. Let it all come ripping right through you."
Couldn't find it in a GIS, but this seemed too good to pass up.
Don’t think I’ve seen it before.
