QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) DWeezy....YOU ROCK!!! On the flip side....JD has his head so far up his ass right now. I know you don't want to start screwin' with stuff now...but he really shouldn't be in the 3-hole for how bad he's been lately. Simply attrocious. Doesn't even have a clue up there. But he's always one of those light switch guys...so Oz will never move him from there. JD has these periods where he just flat-out sucks for seemingly no reason and is bad at everything he does at the plate. Eventually he comes out of it.

Dewayne Wise? Again? Seriously?

I really hate those Mac commercials, they are really annoying and they make me less likely to actually buy a Mac.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) yeah, me too Yeah, it's just going in and out. But then I moved to the 1.2M and it seems to be fine. Whatever.

Anybody else have their mlb.tv stream f***ing up? Everything else is running at normal speed for me but that.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 09:14 PM) Damn, just missed him. A couple of feet closer to the base, and it's 2 outs.

What are Hawk and DJ calling overrated? I missed it.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 09:02 PM) Alexei and Uribe walked tonight. AJ too.

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 09:02 PM) No. Thanks.

Do postseason homers count towards career HR total? Thinking about Devin Hester's opening return in the SB made me wonder (Hester's doesn't count, it's like an appendix)

Seriously where the f*** did Dewayne Wise come from?

It looks like Aviles has had a pretty s***ty day on the basepaths.

Tejeda just walked Uribe. My advice to him is to kill himself.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) When McCain got a convention bounce, it was Palin taking over! fixed That was just some places though... a lot of people still called it what it was and were speculating when the "Palin Effect" would start wearing off.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 01:31 PM) I started a thread like this last week - 3 strengths AND weaknesses for each. Thread died a quick death. Hopefully this one is better. I meant to post in that thread and I completely forgot about it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) For McCain I really hate the embrace of the right, and his movement away from some of the stuff that made him great in 2000. Me too, I'm hoping that it's all campaign bulls*** and he will get back to who he was when this is over whether he wins or loses. Bmags and me were talking about ideologies on AIM the other day, I think the old-school northeastern Republicans appeal to me much more than the southern Dixiecrats do. The latter really turns me completely off of the party.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 02:23 PM) In case you didn't know I am a vegan for 2 years now. One of the reasons I made the switch was for the environment. The fact that factory farms are completely ignored when greenhouse gas conversation is brought up really bothers me. It's one of the things that drive me nuts when I hear Al Gore speak. It's not even a factor in his discussion. Props to you, I've thought about being a vegetarian (not a vegan) before but I can't do it. I like cheeseburgers and ribs too much.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 02:17 PM) FISA FISA FISA FISA This... his flip-flop there really pissed me off. I don't really like what he's become during the general election, but that's just the reality of political campaigns. They go negative and then false promises are made. Always. I don't like his plans for so much new spending at all but I think a lot of that is just campaign BS.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) Thats why I made that "Why are you what you are" thread a little bit back so you could tell where people were coming from. That was a good thread. Even still, people by now who post in here pretty often know who is a solid Democrat or Republican, who leans right/left, who has an independent streak, who is going to vote for whom and why, etc. yet you see ignorant comments like "you Obama supporters think" or "you GOP types are going to."

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 09:33 AM) Just from a logistics standpoint its hard to just grab it all. First thing you need is choke points to have data collection devices to grab it all. Considering that most of your traffic traverses peering nodes and doesnt touch the NAP points on the net it makes it harder for the massive collection of data. In the end, the government and the federal law enforcement agencies are using some sort of packet capture engine that writes this to a local disk such as in a Calea configuration. This would be specific deployed packet capture based on a filter. Copying this information across the internet takes too long, and would be way too inefficient. One thing a packet capture appliance has, is a limit on the disk space. As a person who has run full packet capture just on a company network, you can fill even a large disk array up in short order. Its not just an issue of their integrity or ethics, its logistics of just trying to capture that much information and where one would use choke points to see the data they are looking for. Even if you DID have all that technical capability that lets you collect that information, processing and analyzing it becomes another issue entirely. That'd be a bureaucratic nightmare.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 08:07 AM) My question is where's the ACLU lawsuits about privacy and all that crap? Oh, I forgot, it's Repulican Sarah Palin. Isn't the ACLU's primary target the government? How's the (federal) government involved here?
