The redesign isn't the worst I've seen, but damn it scrolls slow. There seems to be about a one second delay between me hitting my scroll wheel and the page actually responding. I didn't have this issue on the old player pages.
The scrolling wouldn't even be that huge of an issue, but they have forced all the relevant information (stats) down below all of the pointless crap (I don't really care where Buster Posey was born). So now the first thing I have to do on their player pages is... scroll down to the bottom, which now takes forever.
What type of education does it take to develop and design websites; highschool? GED?
No one should have to choose between access to the internet and food or medicine.
If you are really having to decide between those basic items or internet access, I think there may be some more important things to put your last few dollars toward besides streaming cat videos.
In an apparent about-face, San Francisco Fire Department officials said Monday they will revisit restrictions on firefighters' use of helmet-mounted cameras after concluding that footage from the Asiana Airlines crash showed the value of the devices.
Filming the scene may have violated both firefighters' and victims' privacy,
I would like to hear him explain how a public employee out in public doing their duty for the benefit of the public while being paid by the public is not subject to public scrutiny?
What, do I have to avert my eyes from firefighters while they are doing their job?
I am a proponent of individual and citizens rights.
Why would you expect the distant federal government to guard your rights better than your state? Both are run by career politicians. But the problem with giving away power from the states to the feds is that instead of working with your local state legislature, you must now work with senators/representatives from dozens of distant states who you can't vote for!
A vehicle traveling at hundreds of miles per hour with hundreds on board will most definitely fall under the TSA at some point. Just because it is in a tube doesn't mean that the occupants will be any less dead if a bomb goes of in it...

Damn/. editors, you misspelled "arguably". The proper spelling is D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y.
Well, I'm not paid for the time it takes me to drive to work or walk from my car to the front door. Unless there is some 'work' you are doing while walking to your desk at the call center, I'm not sure I see the problem with this.
That can be the same amunt of extra unpaid time each day that this lawsuit describes.
What building takes a half hour to get from the front door to a desk? You could easily walk over a mile in half an hour...
What is interesting to me is that private hospitals negotiate rates with medicare and insurers, but basically set their own rates for the uninsured.
Which is why the first thing we SHOULD have done to reform health care is require every hospital and medical office to list the cost for every procedure that they offer and rates for stays. Then insurance can say they will pay up to X amount for a procedure or visit, and the patient can decide to go to a hospital that is at or below that amount, or chose to go to a higher quality hospital and pay the difference (if they are able).
Let's at least try to get the consumer somewhat involved in the pricing and cost of health care. As it stands right now, NOBODY knows how much anything costs...
I think I will wire in a switch that can randomly kill the power to this thing. Every time I go over the Golden Gate Bridge (which now reads license plates to send you the toll bill rather than collecting money at the bridge), I will save $6. Ka-Ching!!!!
I don't mind the smog inspections, since they help reduce pollution. But I hate the fact that I have failed TWICE (and nearly a third time) for things that have absolutely nothing to do with the emissions coming out of my vehicle.
...might attract someone better who can save $10 mil.
No one in government positions try to SAVE money. They bitch and moan for more money. When they don't get it, they cut necessary stuff that will hurt the most, while preserving pet projects and the pay and positions of government union employees.
The reader will beep if they're on the right bus and honk if they're on the wrong one.
Or you could teach them to read the numbers on the side of the bus, but that's just my zany, wacky idea. Or are the kids too stupid to get on the exact same numbered bus day after day?
If something is written into law, can the executive branch just declare, "Nah, we won't implement the law on the date that it was suppose to. We'll implement it when we feel like it."?
If this is delayed until the next presidential election, and a Republican wins the presidency, couldn't the GOP effectively block Obamacare by saying they won't implement it until the year 3016?
Iowa Senator Tom Harkin and Oregon Representative Peter DeFazio want a.03 percent tax on nearly every trade in nearly every market in the U.S.
Someone really needs to remind our government that the purpose of taxes are to fund government operations, not to attack perfectly legal behavior that you happen to not like.

Now the states rightists are banning guns,...
Yeah, because there has been absolutely no attempt by the federal government to limit gun rights...
...trying to prohibit gay marriage,...
Defense of Marriage Act ring a bell?
...repeal the equal voting rights...
Requiring something as simple as an ID to prove you can vote is hardly the same as repealing equal voting rights.
Hayes-White said Friday that helmet cameras were covered by a 2009 ban on video cameras "in any department facility."
I didn't realize that San Francisco International Airport qualified as a fire department facility.
They have been caught trying to cover their asses, and now are backtracking on their self-serving decision:

States rights are shit.
Your attitude is exactly why the federal government has too much power now.
What joke are you referring to?

Yeah, it is a business record. My business, not yours, assholes.

I wish we would do like some other states and just register every 2-3 years to really save money on mailing out all this stuff...
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, has resigned her post.
All right!
Napolitano will be taking over the presidency of the University of California's 10-campus education system.
Crap. Hopefully she doesn't damage our university system too much before my daughters are old enough to attend...
...might attract someone better who can save $10 mil.

And look how you died and were never heard from again after getting on the wrong bus. We need retinal scanners to stop this problem now!

What happens after 20 minutes? If this setup really generates enough energy, shouldn't it last indefinitely?
