Smith was due 13 million the year after he got traded. If the 49ers had gotten to the NFC championship with him last year he would be getting another deal as well.

They do use multi-bit symbols in modulation schemes like QAM for data transmission. Transistors are pretty hard to beat though since they can put 50 kabillion of them on a half inch square of silicon and that seems to double every couple years so I doubt that binary is going anywhere in the...

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting. It will make it harder to maintain the depth that the 49ers have enjoyed the last few years and it might result in somebody like Crabtree being a cap casualty, but I would much rather be in that position than trying to draft a quarterback every 2-3...

I imagine balut does taste pretty good. I think if I ate one blindfolded it might be delicious, but I can't get past what it looks like.

What's so bad about using a phone to start netflix? It's a hell of a lot better than using a remote control to spell things out on the screen. Phones are shitty remotes if you want to flip channels or fast forward or rewind a lot, but they are great for finding shit on netflix.

I spent the last week around my buddy's 12 year old son and while he knows the difference between right and wrong, no reasonable person would consider him to be an adult. He is not close to adulthood in any aspect of his personality. Charging them as juveniles is not letting them off with no...

I have seen your posts about this stuff, but you are literally the only person I have heard of with these problems so I suspect something with your device or at least specific to the Nexus 4. My LG G2 is usually at around 50% in the evening and that is with me being in a rural area where it...

Beats headphones will sell like hotcakes at the apple stores. Also, Apple has made plenty of acquisitions before, Siri and iTunes both came out of acquisitions, just to name a couple.

Yeah, battery issues used to be a thing with Android but it's really not anymore. From what I've heard the Iphone 5 is actually below average for battery these days. If you haven't tried Android in a couple years you might want to give it another shot. They have come a long way while IOS has...

Making sauce from fresh heirloom tomatoes is some retarded hipster shit. Basic marinara sauce is finally diced sauteed onion and garlic, add one can of tomatoes and one can of sauce, let it simmer for a bit, add some fresh basil and parsley, a little oregano if you want and simmer a bit longer...

Just like the house, it's not like you have to get your money back from profits. He's making 30M a year and he still has the team to sell if he needs a big wad of cash. It might not bring what he paid for it, but it might bring more a few years down the road.

I was going to say "You need a pizza peel" but then I remembered that I don't have one so I guess my comment is "I need a pizza peel".

I can't believe people are still butt hurt about a character that has had like 5 lines in the show so far.

+1 If you asked someone for an example of 80's music, no one in their right mind would day NiN. That is a 90's band even if their big album came out a few months before the 90's started.

I doubt I've ever had a really good lobster but the ones I have had would have been nothing without coating them in butter, and what's not good slathered in butter? When I'm at a restaurant I can never convince myself that a giant bug would be better than a delicious steak that I can have for...

My Mom always calls USB drives "zip drives" no matter how many times I say "No, zip drives were something else!".

Speaking of which, this is a worthy addition to the 80's thread:

My grandparents had the old school gigantic satellite dish and an illegal descrambler so they got every channel. They had to have it updated every few months or it would go back to scrambled, and the sound would stop working quite a while before the video. More than once when they were in...

Translation: We don't have any way of stopping you, but we hope that if we sound cool about it, you will feel guilty enough to pay. I don't think that HBO is just cool with people burning up their bandwidth and watching all their content without paying just because they know someone that does pay.

You can hit up Solvang and many wineries between Monterey and LA, and tons of awesome ocean views as Alex said.

I have thought about this too. I think people are just so paranoid about being lied to all the time that they want to tell themselves that they can believe somebody because of X. It's also just a way to try to make people feel shitty after you got tricked by them. Plus there was that one...

That's true, James was a horrible player, I just found him entertaining.

The pebble is hard to beat for battery because of the e-ink screen. Anything with an LCD or AMOLED screen is going to take a big hit on battery life. As long as it's 20+ hours though it's good for me. As Soriak said, it's not that big a deal to just plug it in next to your phone every night.

That is a good thought but you should probably wait until Snyder is gone to do the rebranding.

I would totally watch another season with Parvati and Amanda and James. They couldn't really do a Boston Rob vs. Russell type season with them though because Parv was a way better player than the other two.

I was in 2nd grade when the Challenger blew up. I went to a 1-room rural school that had an apartment for the teacher on the side and a parent called the school to tell us the shuttle blew up and we went into the teacher's apartment and watched the news coverage for the rest of the day. I...

I don't dislike Mayo, but I don't think it's worth the calories. I prefer mustard on sandwiches and if I do use anything it's mostly for waterproofing my bread on a burger or something and I usually use a 1/32" layer of light miracle whip.

I have wished sometimes that my phone had better speakers when I want to show someone a funny YouTube video or something and the speaker is on the back of the phone and you can't fucking hear it even on max volume. My current phone is fine for that though, my shitty netbook on the other hand...

It's hand-wringing white people for the most part. My cousin is married to an American Indian and while I haven't asked him about this topic specifically, I would bet $1000 he doesn't care. Even the phrase "native American" is mostly for uptight white people. I've never met an actual native...

Fifty U.S. senators sign letter to NFL urging Washington Redskins name change - Sporting News I think the rerolled NFL thread should take it upon ourselves to rename the redskins. "The Washington Tar Babies" perhaps?

I am not a pasta connoisseur but they pretty much tasted like pasta to me.

It would have helped if they dyed his hair black and gave him a beard. He will look more menacing in armor as well.

It's kind of sad how much your choices in your teens/twenties affect the course of your life since everyone is dumb as hell at that age.

The cheater method is to just buy a package of wonton wrappers and stick them together with egg wash. I have done that many times and they turn out well.

I would be shocked if Spencer doesn't get another shot and I am totally on board. It would be great to see Tasha play again as well. I wonder if Tony would actually do it again since he seems to have had a lot of health problems after the game. It seems a little soon to bring back blood vs...

When I heard $350 I kind of stopped thinking about getting one. At $250 though, it will be very tempting.

I must be lucky then. I dropped my G2 from eye level onto a concrete shop floor a couple weeks ago. All it got was a little scuff on the corner. I also think cases are stupid and haven't had one for several years.

The new mountain is 6' 9" and weighs 400 lbs. This is him throwing a washing machine.
