It's just celebrity schadenfreude. Any time something bad happens to a famous person there is a certain group who's going to line up and cheer about it. Cycling is a bit like Nascar in that it's boring as shit to watch if you don't understand the team dynamics. The year Floyd Landis won I...

There's tons of people in Hollywood that are trying to make movies. Some of them are able to convince someone with money that it's worth giving them a shot. The big movies pay for the little ones. I've heard Adam Carolla talk a lot about making his movie "The Hammer" and it had a budget of 1...

If he comes out as gay I'm really curious to see how that effects his draft stock. Of course we won't really know if it's the gay or the insane that could cause him to drop.

I guess this thread never made it over from FoH. Just got to say that it's a god damn crime that my girl Kristen went home because she wasn't willing to throw that cow Josie under the bus. If she doesn't win Last Chance Kitchen and Josie doesn't get the fuck off my TV in the next two weeks then...

Picked up a 60" Vizio LED TV yesterday and it's so damn wonderful. It's really another level vs. my old 40" Samsung LCD. I watched the Avengers bluray and it was the best movie experience ever outside of a movie theater. I sit 14 feet from my TV and I have had the feeling that 40" wasn't...

I have 3 windows 7 machines in my house that run 24-7 and none of them have ever crashed that I can recall, they update themselves in the middle of the night, and I have never experienced any of the things you have mentioned. I don't have mass data of Windows 7 vs OSX but Windows 7 is extremely...

Don't think I have experienced any of these things since Windows 7 came out? Or even the last service pack of XP.

It has been proven in this thread that you can't buy a computer that is equal to an apple for less than an apple as long as you stipulate that every single component is exactly the same including apple patented features and also that it is made by apple.

I know several people with those ruggedized flip phones. I'm not positive it's the same brand but I think it is. They are very hard to break. My cousin did manage to break the screen on his, but it was from doing something retarded like throwing it against the wall. Despite the screen cracks...

Good question. I have never encountered anyone in real life or on the internet that actually owns and uses a 3D TV at home.

This is true. The tests can't catch you if you dope perfectly. Almost everyone that got busted fucked up in some way. Armstrong is an insane dictator/control freak that will make sure that everything is perfect every time. His bike was adjusted to the fraction of a millimeter and his doping...

As cool as a big aquarium in the front window would be, that is way too much light. The thing would be full of algae and it would be a full time job making it not look like shit.

An easy to make spicy food is stir fry. Get the red pepper flakes and put them in the oil as it heats up and then add your meat and veggies when the wok/pan is good and hot. The more flakes you put in, the hotter it will be. You can also put some of the aforementioned siracha on at the end...

Everyone in my family insists on taking "Airborne". I have told several of them about how it does nothing and even showed them stories about how the company got sued and had to take all the claims about it doing anything off of the packaging. Do they give a fuck? Not at all. They just look...

Have you ever seen a broken laptop case? I haven't. My $250 plastic acer netbook has fallen off my TV tray onto the hardwood floor half a dozen times with no ill effects. How do you drop your computer from 6 feet? Were you holding it above your head? Wearing it as a hat?

The insurance isn't for that kind of thing, it's for when they tell you that you do have cancer and the bill would financially destroy you if you had to pay it yourself. That said, yes it is a racket.

I do pork chops a lot like the steak method that was linked earlier. I like to season them with lemon pepper. Put equal parts butter and oil in a pan (preferably cast iron) and heat it until the butter starts to smoke and throw in the chops and don't move them for 2-3 minutes depending on how...

The cap is by far the worst part. I could actually upgrade to like 12 mB but with the same data cap I see no reason to. 3mB is fine for surfing and more speed would just make me want to do things that would destroy my cap in an hour.

Did the cable say "charging only" or can you use it to transfer data if you hook it up to your computer as well? I did have some "charge only" cables and they might only have the +5V and Ground wires and the other two are not even there, which would un-short them. If it works for data though...

Explain what this means. Be specific.

If a Mercedes had the exact same internals as the Mini but a fancier body it would be a decent analogy.

Sony shit is also ridiculously overpriced and marketed to people who care more about fashion than function. Doesn't mean that makes macs costing twice as much as they should a good value.

Apparently Carolla Digital and How Stuff Works are being sued by a patent troll company that claims to have a patent on podcasts. They have already successfully sued just about every company that distributes podcasts and gotten a license agreement and now they're going after the podcasters...

Yeah I felt like the monoprice cords fucked out the receptacle on my phone and then no cord would stay in it. What kind of charger are you using? Android phones have "usb" charging mode and "AC" charging mode. In USB mode it will only draw 500 mA so you don't overload your USB port but in...

Paraphrased. Not that I disagree lol.

The USADA isn't a court of law. He hasn't been criminally or civilly prosecuted yet as far as I know. I don't think the evidence requirements to ban someone from sports are at quite the same level as a criminal court.

But why would they do that? They aren't rich, and since half of them are lawyers it's not like they don't have other ways to make money. I don't doubt that they make a living off of their lawsuits, but the idea that they would spend their whole lives cynically pretending to be crazy just to...

Just to make you all feel better about your ISP, this is what $79.99 gets you when you live in the sticks. Did I mention the 17GB download cap?

No one gives a shit what brand of shirt their fish store guy is wearing.

Wow, monster game for Kaepernick. His big run was ridiculous, ran away from everyone on the field. Whatever happens next week, no one is going to give Harbaugh shit about benching Alex Smith after that game in the playoffs. As great as it would be to whip Seattle in SF in the NFC...

Rumor has it that Aldon Smith was playing hurt the last couple games as well but they kept it quiet and he's supposedly doing better now. If both of them are at least 80% they're going to slow down Rodgers. I can live with the 49ers losing to the Packers. I would rather that happen than...

I think this has a lot to do with it. 10 years ago I built a new gaming PC every year. Now even gamers don't need to do that and regular people get 5-8 years out of a computer.

From what I've heard just about any type of publishing or entertainment the standard procedure is to just not pay anyone any residuals until they at least threaten legal action and then pretend you have never made any money on the project.

What a whining bitch Christopher Tolkien is. Poor guy just had to become fabulously wealthy off of his father's work and then decided to sell it to a movie maker and then act like he was raped when the movie made him tons more money for doing jack shit. Fuck him in his 88 year old ass.

Is there some reason you feel the need to debate me on everything I say?

Yeah, but regardless of prep time, I still say ground beef tacos are tasty. They aren't the same thing as shredded beef/pork tacos. Both kinds are good.

I understand how a crock pot works :P. But you still can't come home from work and go "I feel like tacos".

At least it isn't Mike Singletary. When I heard his name mentioned I had many pleasant fantasies about how horrible the bears would be for the next few years with him in charge.

And why does this interest you?
