    Please tell me you are not mistaking this for Marshall the college. Not really aware of Football being a major thing that Marshall, TX is known for. It is known as one of the places where the Civil Rights movement centered out of in the south, but I'm not aware of it being particularly noted as a great high school football school, in terms of other Texas High Schools. A quick search online shows that most sites that rank high schools in their classification (4A) shows them to be a middle of the pack football school.

    I laugh when I see people in Arizona complain about hot. I live in Florida. Here, it gets hot, and it's humid as a motherfucker. I'd trade the people in AZ their "hot" for my hot any day. My hot is 90-100 and drenched, whereas their hot is 100-120 and dry as an ugly virgin. Starting in April (pretty much two to three weeks ago) until like October or later, humidity here regularly stays in the 80-95 range. And that's without too much rain. So really, 90 here (which sounds like a pussy number if all you consider is the thermometer) is really worse than 100-120 in Arizona, when you consider that in Arizona, most of the major cities other than some in the far northern part of the state ride at under 50% humidity. And plus, it gets cool at night in AZ. It's fucking balmy right now (feels closer to 80) at 3 fucking AM in April in Florida.

    Money says this person gets a cease and desist by Apple because as we all know, you don't really own the phone, Apple has given you the incredible honor of simply allowing the iPhone to own you.

    You do realize this is Apple we're talking about here, right? No way will they ever relinquish any control over their software or hardware as you suggest by allowing any competition. And Apple obviously doesn't care if you care that the phone has an "Apple chaperone." If they ever did allow porn, they'd come up with a way to bone you for going with that as well. So essentially, to see some fucking, you'd still get fucked.

    If you keep the images in a digital medium, then it really is irrelevant if the discs go bad in 5 years or 50 years. As long as you keep your backups up-to-date and replace the drives that are used for the backups every so often, the cost of maintaining the video collection exponentially gets a lot less over time compared to a magnetic tape format, as the cost will actually increase instead of decrease due to lack of use of the technology. Hell, in 30 years they'll probably just figure out a way we can download videos into our brains and keep a copy in a contact lense that also doubles as our "TV"

    And yet virtually anyone in this discussion knows who Michael Jordan was, and he was an athlete. If I asked you who Tiger Woods was, you'd know. If not for golf, than because his face is everywhere. If I asked you who Joe Montana was, I'd really hope you would know who I was referring to. I think people nowadays unfortunately compartmentalize themselves into a small area of interest and tune out the rest of the world. I like to keep my interests varied, as I'm probably one of the few people I know who simultaneously could name many starters on most pro football and basketball teams, some good starting economy strategies in Starcraft (although probably nothing to rival these geeks we started talking about), the purpose of pretty much any military jet that the US Military has (as I'm an aircraft enthusiast), etc etc. I guess I'm just eclectic. Although I admit, I couldn't name one soccer player not David Beckham, and I only know him because he's a douche bag, so I guess I see your point.

    Technically Cowboys stadium (for the love of god don't call it my Cowboys stadium, I'm a Broncos fan) can hold in excess of 100,000, but some of that is standing room only and inside seats that have access to live broadcast of the game. But yeah, I think it's just the beginning of new obscenely large NFL stadiums to come personally.

  22. Re:A-list? What? on StarCraft Cheating Scandal Rocks Korea · · Score: 1

    Think larger than that. The new stadium for the Cowboys seats something close to 80,000 not including standing areas, and I'm sure other similarly obscene stadiums will soon follow in other big football cities such as Washington DC, Philadelphia, etc. And the Dallas Cowboys had no problem filling that venue. They also didn't have any trouble selling the luxury suites either. There's a reason the NFL is a multi-billion dollar business. It's a shame the owners and players may start fucking with that with a possible lockout next season (due to the lack of a new collective bargaining agreement that has resulted in no salary cap for the 2010 season). Not that I'm going to cry because millionaire players and billionaire owners are all butt hurt over percentage points of shit-tons of money. I'm just disappointed that my favorite sport may take a hiatus if they don't come to an agreement.
