Baseball is a geeks game.. to truly enjoy baseball almost demands a love for statistics and trends. The action isn't the focal point, its the numbers. Live it, learn it, love it.

i understand your point and its a good one and all, but i have a question: What is the stigma regarding doing your laundry?
didnt even read the above post, but seeing its title reminded me what a poor piece of trash Eyes Wide Shut was... blech.
To quote the theme song from its trailer:
"I saw a bad bad movie..."
Any calendar reform which ignores the seven day cycle of the week by, for example, adding special days that are not part of the week, is
doomed to failure. There are many people who follow religions that attach special significance to certain days of the week. What happens when
the new calendar says that it is Wednesday, but your religious beliefs say that it is the Sabbath?
What happens when the sabbath occurs on Wednesday? You let the people celebrate their sabbath, its still there. I'm jewish, and i have to deal with my sabbath occurring fri night through sat night, while much of the world is at work and play, and i get by. I dont think the world would collapse if we actually kept things open sunday morning.
And for that matter, i dont understand why things can't be open 24 hours a day. Think of the productivity that we'd increase as a civilization. You just need some portion of the population to be doing things at a different time that others. Think about it, you could have your choice of 8am school, 3pm school or 10pm school. As long as you get your sleep in there somewhere, who cares?
The only drawback I see to this calendar is that every month will have a Friday the 13th
Actually, every month would have a Friday the th. IF you look at his calendar it starts on onesday, or Monday, the first, so Fridays would be the 5th,12th,19th,and 26th

My my.. how quickly people forget. The simpsons were never about counterculture. As soon as they came on the air (way back in '90), we were bombarded by t-shirts, hats, toys, and yes, i had a plastic lunchbox. Anyone remember the "bartman"? Matt Groening never had a problem selling all this. If anyone, it is Fox that has become more restrictive of the simpsons products as their popularity has skyrocketed. I love all my simpsons junk. I don't particularily want the ISP, but i say, give it a shot. Its an interesting theme.
>>Don't you have to deprive the owner of the ability to use something for it to be theft? If we are argueing the defintion of theft here, i have to agree, Mitnick is not a theif. Some legal definitions found here :
"THEFT - This word is sometimes used as synonymous with larceny, but it is not so technical."
it goes on to define Larceny:
"LARCENY -The wrongful and fraudulent taking and carrying away by one person of the mere personal goods of another from any place, with a felonious intent to convert them to the taker's use and make them his property without the consent of the owner....
There must be a taking from the possession, actual or implied, of the owner; hence if a man should find goods and appropriate them to his own use, he is not a thief on this account."
therefore, i have to conclude that Kevin is not a theif, legally, anyhow. I do agree, though, that what he did was wrong, and served as a disservice to society, and was certianly a crime, it just wasn't a theft.

Actually, for us real players, there are PvP servers where the Play-Nice policy doesnt hold much weight at all.
hey, you never know, he might be ok.. this isn't rocket science or anythi... oh, hehe...
You mean, rebroadcast an event without the express written consent of Major League Baseball?
Gasp! the Horror!
You mean poker without a substantial pot is fun?

A real genius would have figured out how to give us more hours in the day -- without shortening the length of those hours
/me Drools over the prospect of a 28 hour day...
God, i'd love it.
You mean, Like this?
no, there would be an extra day between Sunday and Monday. This guys calendar starts on Mondays.
