There's talk of Tommy Lasorda as the next baseball commissioner -- and he's always said that baseball is about the *fans*.
I hate the Dodgers (my sister bled blue, and I'm an Angels fan -- used to disappointment), but Tommy would probably be the best commish that there ever could be.
Actually, and this just occurred to me while I was writing this... when he gets out of office in either 2004 or 2008, Bush would probably be an excellent commissioner.
DISCLAIMER: I am professing no opinion one way or another about W's politics.
I was always a fan. Then I started playing (synagogue league softball), and I started appreciating what I saw more. Then I started coaching (my daughter's softball team -- G-d help them:-P), and can appreciate the beauty and elegance of the game even more.
As for those philistines who bitch about no time limit, that's also part of the beauty of the game. As Yogi said, "It ain't over till it's over".
Nah, it's just x86 assembly (and probably most RISCs, too...). X86 assembly is baroque.
Try looking at the 68K instruction set, or the Z8000 (or Z80000) instruction set. Nice orthogonal instruction sets, no special purpose registers (except for the stack pointer - A7 and R15/RR14 respectively). Much more readable than x86 instructions.
Disclaimer: I learned x86 long before I learned 68K or Z8K.
Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.
When are they going to send the US Ambassador to have a little... armtwisting^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdiscussion (yeah, that's the ticket, discussion!) session with Venezuelan honchos?
And when will MS "donate" a few zillion dollars in licenses to Venezuela?

Of course, this country has never really done it right ever since the "undeclared war" against France and the Alien & Sedition Act
Funny, I seem to recall a speech on 8 December 1941, wherein President Franklin Delano Roosevelt asked Congress for a declaration of war against Japan. I seem to recall he got it, too.
Your opener about the definition of war was good, but you dropped the ball later on.

You had an 8088? Why back in the day, we didn't have no fancy 8088s! We had our fingers! And tin cans and string! And we were glad to have them, too! Sure, it took forever to get the latest pr0n, but once we found someone to go into the drugstore for us, then we had it. Of course, we had to walk fifteen miles through a raging snowstorm to get it, uphill, both ways! You young whippersnappers have it so easy... rassum-fassum-mumble-grumble </OLD-GEEZER-RANT>

Do a google search on the quote. Lessig quoted billg on that one.

Of course, the reason the IOC is considering dropping Baseball and Softball is precisely because the Europeans suck at it.
Who are the perennial contenders in Baseball? North Americans (and Caribbean), South Americans, and Asian.
Softball? Same thing (and add the Aussies).
So that's why they want to replace those sports with golf and rugby!

Perhaps management should listen to the developers when creating schedules and product release dates, instead of the marketers?

Pardon me. I meant you can submarine a patent for as long as you like up until it expires. Once it's expired, you're SOL.
Nope, that's trademark. You can submarine a patent for as long as you like *cough*GIF*cough*.

I had an ODT 2.0 server, ran for 9 years straight before we mothballed it in favor of a OSR5.0.2 server.
Well, then all he needs to do is read his spam, and find out how to ADD THREE TO FOUR INCHES -- GUARANTEED!

anyways, I'll be voting for Jesse Ventura in 2004.
Hell, if he runs, I'd probably vote for the man... He's not afraid to speak his mind even if it pisses people off ("Religion is a crutch...").
Of course, if he was elected, he should probably not take part in extracurricular activities (XFL anyone?).

This was settled 2 years ago. BUSH WON! Get over it.
Fine. If the Bushies and their ilk will stop blaming everything on Clinton!
