Maybe, maybe not. The thing that made pinball great was that turning the luck in your favor was part of the skill. Once you get that it is hard to stop......
Awesome, way to take what I said and change the meaning. I never said I hated foreigners. I was pointing out that Americans have lost 1 million jobs in the last year alone. I have no problem with foreigners but is it not my duty as a citizen of a nation to want my fellow citizens and my country to prosper? You should be working for one of these presidential campaigns. You seem good at taking a statement someone says and making it mean something entirely different.
Maybe it's high time America starts to look at how its manufacturing gets done. We spent all this time and money to offshore our manufacturing at the expense of American jobs because of our bottom line. Now we are reaching "long term" and it is going to wind up costing us more than if we kept it here at home. Maybe, just maybe, the corporations will start to look at their long term outlook in a different light. Just because you are getting cheap labor today does not necessarily mean you will save money tomorrow.
This may be true but I know that almost every type of firework was available in N.M. and that alone makes it a desireable location..... I still have 1k bottle rockets left!
Google bid 10 times if I recall correctly. Even over the reserve. I think that is good faith. Even if secretly they didn't want to win, Verizon didn't have to bid....
I don't really get any of this. Wasn't Dish offering DVR functionality before Tivo was even a company? And aside from that if it is a software patent, how did Tivo get to see the code to know that it is infringing? Wouldn't they have the same complaint to DTV, Comcast? Didn't replayTV also have DVRs before Tivo? Why does Tivo get to sue over the DVR?
Doesn't this start to sound like Chevy suing Ford for having wheels in their design?
I agree that it pisses everyone off at the table. You have to ask yourself why you are at the table though. If only for entertainment then you better not play that don't pass bar. If you are there to win then it is a good bet. Well not a good bet but better then the other bets available.
Which I find interesting because they provide a don't pass bar on the craps table. This is basically the house bet, that you will not make your "point". It only pays one to one but has a higher percentage of winning than the roller getting the "point". Don't pass wins on 7 and 11.. loses on the point... pushes on 12. So they allow you to bet their bet which to me is gaming the game, but they don't let you count cards.
that's nuts. the internet isn't some resource that is gonna get all used up one day. we are not going to run out of internet... Nor are we going to run out of bandwidth. It can always be added to. You are looking at it from a limited resource point of view but that is a false limitation put in place by the telcos.
If my ISP charges me for music that I am NOT downloading I promise I will steal every album known to man 1000 times. I mean make 1000 copies of every album known to man.......
Why do you think Hillary is so experienced? Because she was married to the President? Because she was shot at in Bosnia? Oh wait, that's right she lied. You wanna know why people walk away from her. Listen to the news. She acts as though she is entitled to this presidency. She acts as though she is the only one who can do the job and Obama is like some teenager in over his head. Sorry to point this out but Hillary is a jr. senator as well. She has been around for a while but just being there does not give one experience. Just because I sit next to the storage admins at work does not mean I am an experienced storage administrator. I understand what they talk about and understand NAS and SANs but I am still NOT an experienced storage admin until I work as a storage admin.
As for the whole Wright thing...... Thanks AaronW (33736)
Well as far as attending the church goes, it is reported that Bill Clinton has seen Pastor Wright. Also Oprah Winfrey has attended the church over the years on and off. Does this mean that Bill Clinton and Oprah hate white people too? If everyone believed everything their pastors said then we would all be in a very different world.
There is nowhere the amount of games coming out than there are bands. Gamestop can put 50 PS2 games out, 50 XBOX games, 50 PS3, and 50 Wii games. That is 200 titles. That wouldn't even cover the whole alphabet for the Rock/Pop section much less blues, jazz, classical, techno and whatever else genres there are these days. I agree that they could make better use of the space they have though.
Does anyone remember when DirecTV was on their suing spree across America. Were defendants who won their cases awarded attorney fees? i ask because would that not be some sort of precedent?
There might be metal and bluegrass stations if their was a market for it. The local rock station where I am had a metal show on Friday nights and that eventually went away because there isn't enough listeners to support it. Unfortunately the bulk of the population wants to listen to rap and pop. Even the jazz stations have all but disappeared. I find that to be amazing. Blues and Jazz are the one cultural item that America has shared with the world and our own population doesn't support it. Sorry, Kenny G is no more jazz than Alicia Keys or En Vogue is Rhythm and Blues. I am referring to Mississippi delta blues and or perhaps Duke Ellington era big band.
Well I have worked in offices for years. One time after an office move we came back and a co-workers purse was gone. The whole thing. We were on the 8th floor. Seems someone came in off the street, up the back stairs and got in. Not sure how because the door was locked. Point being that it isn't always co workers who are dishonest. The company got better security on the floor after that.....
Although many countries did come to our aid and stand beside us after the events of 9/11, there are plenty of people around the world who thought we had it coming. I would believe that even though our allies stand with us they very well might believe that. Certainly the populations of many countries, or large parts of them, believe we had it coming. You know why I say this? Not because I hate America. I love my country. The simple fact is we did have it coming. Take a good look at Americas foreign policy for the last 50 to 75 years, even 100 years, and honestly ask yourself if we had it coming. I don't agree with it and certainly believe something should be done about it, but we had it coming.
I might agree with at some point in the past but the police have failed the public time and time again. I know that overall it really is only a few that are bad, but when the same problems continually arise people get tired of it and begin to distrust all police officers. If this site is able to provide some type of oversight and it causes police corruption to decrease then it is a great site. There should be 0 police corruption period. These are people who are there to "protect and serve." The idea that they can make "mistakes" and "are just people" or whatever excuse you want to use is not good enough. Anyone who works to put in a position of power over other citizens and abuses that power needs to the worst type of punishment. Because not only are the betraying the honor of the position, but they betray the public trust and lead us to exactly where we are now. Running websites to report on police activity because they cannot police themselves.
Was that the one on Showtime? I am fairly sure I saw the same thing. The guy doing it was addicted to painkillers? If this is it please tell me the name as I don't remember but this was a great documentary and I want a copy of it. Thanks
You are forgetting that these are all in the best interest of our country. Our national interests are more important than anything else or anyone else. Remember that when we hear the president speak of "our national interests" that is double speak for "we will kill anyone that stops us from doing what we want to maintain our way of life".

I was only referring to the actual game and not the other bets. Coming out, get a point, roll that point or don't.
