sometimes the car in front of me goes far into the intersection, I go a little into the intersection and the car in front of me doesn't take advantage of an opening in the oncoming traffic. so now I'm stuck partway into a red-light intersection.
in the early days of American football, those on the field weren't aware of the timekeeper's exact number - hence the two-minute warning, a tradition carried over even with clock info available
yeah, why doesn't soccer stop the clock if the ref is just going to add extra time anyways?
I sometimes wear a watch easier to glance at wrist than dig out phone, especially if phone is in some mode where the simple screen with the time isn't easily accessible but even at my age, some of it's habit from before I had a phone
there's a reason those tickets aren't selling I'm not particularly interested in watching any more craptacular performances by the Buffalo Bills this season...
blackouts (or blackout threats) are a big issue for them, not sure how it is elsewhere.
sometimes teams pull tricks (including but not limited to discount tickets) in order to sell the remainder
not to underrate the problem, but roids weren't the only factor in the home run explosion
i suppose the roots of other factors go way back to the end of the dead-ball era
advances in "vitamin supplements, diets planned by professional nutritionists, sports drink, specially designed running shoes, etc. Who cares? If it's not "fair" just allow everyone to take steroids" as well as advances in PED technology (contrast to Ruth's gluttony) ballparks with closer fences = easier to hit the ball out of diluted pitcher talent and longer seasons due to expansion (note that Maris got an asterisk on his 62 due to playing a longer season)
I don't like supporting the Mexican illegal immigrant invasion, but at least you seem to put your money where your mouth is on that and the other comments
yeah, many racists seem to think not hating minorities equates to hating the majority. like many conspiracy theorists, hard or impossible to reason with.
the place I worked this summer had it set up (it was an option at my level, maybe it was more mandatory/more necessary elsewhere in the organization so I used it on some work email.
other than that, no. not that paranoid, didn't want to set it up, recipients aren't set up to deal with it (even at the office, some recipients had trouble, especially when readign email on their blackberries)
thanks. even without getting involved professionally/officially (or appearing to do so), that information might prove useful.
* quick shutter speed * properly aim flash
it's the smaller bands/venues that tend to be more lenient or even openly supportive. might be easier to get away with smaller equipment with bands/venues that are less
if the pit's large/intense enough, it's hard to do anything else
once I used a small tripod and security told me off a few songs in.:P
last show I was at, the lead vocalist paused to tell a guy with a camera that what he was doing is OK. At many shows, the performers have posed for pictures, supporting the behavior without specifically commenting upon it.
how about not tying representation to geographic districts, giving access to good politicians from other areas. so often I hear stuff like "why can't our state have someone like X"
2000 INR is about 37 USD Food and drink (buying my own and cooking/eating at home) would be about 50 USD a week, or about 222 USD a month so the cost of living adjustment would be about x6 after the exchange rate
are you an official photographer? do you go to shows where they let you use good equipment or at least don't try too hard to stop you? I don't have luck taking photos at concerts unless I'm standing real close. if it's not way-too-dark, glare from stage lights can mess up the shot.
I had a civilian job in the DC area, and yeah, it drive me nuts. it was my 1st government job, and my first tiem working as many hours for wahtever employer...maybe I'd be more used to it the 2nd time around.
the point was that he got bitter while broke and homeless in Vienna, and getting accepted would have avoided that. it's hard to imagine what else would have happened to him or the world as a whole.
it seems like going back to a recent lotto drawing would be relatively non-disruptive to the timestream. at worst the actual winner(s) would have to split the jackpot with you, and if there was no winner, the only effect is on the future: the jackpot for the next drawing wouldn't be as large. you can easily blend in with the society of a few days ago
as opposed to going back a few millenia for diamonds, or going back a couple decades/centuries to invest in some big company early on - who knows what ripple effects that would have?
Slashdot Mirror
either or both?
the alternative being when the car in front doesn't pull up and only he or she can get through the green at all...

football is also stretched out

also note how little you miss and how much faster the game is via DVR

well if you're talking about Marilyn Monroe, pre madonna might make sense ... does that make today's pop stars post madonnas?

fun things can become work when taken to that level of seriousness. those at the top are still ridiculously well paid though
though I'd agree that some fans take it way too seriously

that's definitely a problem too, it simply wasn't on mind mind when I posted
Zionists who think it's anti-Semitic to criticize Israel = a prime example of what you said?

yes, people who hate $pop_culture_phenomenon are often at least as obsessive about it as the fans.
yes, recordings of a non-copyright song can themselves be copyrighted. perhaps that is the AC's issue.
