  1. I recognize Grabner and I think Nilsson, are any of the players notable? Seems like a lot of bodies for one player, but I'm guessing The Leafs win the trade by getting the best player.
  2. I think I only played the Atari 400/800 cart. I have played the arcade version via MAME since then though.
  3. I'm 39 and I eat... Wegmans generic Grape Nuts. :ph34r:
  4. I saw it in Philly on (I think) the first touring round, it, was, FANTASTIC! You won't be disappointed. My girlfriend got me the soundtrack afterwards, I might have to dig it out now.
  5. 61. Windows Phone, the Matt Ellis of smartphones.
  6. If you can find the link, I'd be really interested. In my mind, odds are some hoser got beered up on Molson and forgot he clicked "Upgrade". :)
  7. Oooh, sounds like Kim P. has some competition in the Heart of Smell.
  8. Kind of a funky, powerful sausage, with the strong taste coming from the meat and not the spice. It's tough to describe, like trying to describe "pork" to a vegetarian.
  9. Or RW.
  10. I haven't read deeply, but I'm pretty sure it won't actually upgrade you, but will prep to a certain degree. It's still pretty slimy, but there's no way MS is going to forcibly upgrade people to 10. The liability for broken installs is not something they're going to take on.
  11. Goo-lah-chuk?
  12. When it all goers wrong, the media will be coming back to that post.
  13. http://www.movietavern.com/experience/
  14. It's not as much fun to drive for 2 hours, sit at the border, and watch your team lose, only to reverse the process afterwards.
  15. :w00t: John Deere PTO with Saskatoon Quakers (Power Take Off) Wait, does that mean Ville Leino is also on a PTO?
  16. Fun read, and that guy's fro is incredible. http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20140518/SPORTS/305170006/Weinstein-Old-Dusters-brawl-still-one-ages
  17. That's the stupidest thing I ever read. It's Power Take-Off, used on a tractor to power external machinery using the tractor's motor.
  18. Regular sardines are good, but brisling are awesome. They're good out of the can or in lieu of dressing on a salad, but this recipe rocks. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/sherried-sardine-toast-recipe.html#!
  19. Not much of a trick, the clue isn't New Jersey pro team.
  20. Would Chz wear a Guy Fawlkes mask and voice scrambler?
  21. With diesel generation, but the 2-stroke diesels used in trains (and ships) bear little resemblance to something you'd want to use in a small, agile, vehicle (ie, any road vehicle, trucks included). For that matter, gas turbines are better yet in terms of power to weight ratio, but using them to directly drive the wheels of road vehicles was an experiment that didn't go too well. It'd be interesting to build an electric car with a gas turbine to generate electricity. I'm not sure if there are hidden issues with the design or auto companies have been too conservative to try it, but I'm surprised we haven't seen more all-electric drive cars where the engine isn't connected to the wheels at all. You can make a gas (or diesel) more efficient if it only needs to run at one RPM, which a generator situation would be perfect for.
  22. I think the story this year is he was playing on the left side in the AHL to learn how to play on that side, isn't it? That would cause some growing pains.
  23. I've always been interested in the interplay between torque and horsepower. Mostly that torque is somewhat arbitrary as you can change the torque to the wheels through gearing, but the power output of an engine is "constant" (given RPM, throttle opening, temperature, etc.). As for big block vs. small block, my dad always liked high-revving small blocks, and the performancey cars I've owned have been turbo fours. Maybe I'm a bit biased there. :) All I know now is that other than a few cases all "performance" cars and bikes are gasoline-powered, I've always thought due to weight. Weight is the enemy of performance in all cases. And sorry about the nonsense comment, that's not cool.
