God no, why would I want to do that when I could wander into a store a few days later and buy one? :)

Please do, send them to the third world where the government doesn't help those in need and there's minimal regulations on anything. Remind them to be careful of what they eat and drink. Make sure you send them to Somalia too, it's a libertarian paradise! (that's a joke folks)

If there's an answer to that, the b00bs thread would shake it out. :)

Cup appearance is good for me. Hope, free-agent destination, etc.

Based on this, the Sabres are going to the finals this year. :)

Some hipster took it with Instagram?

Did they play a game in 2004 in the whites? I seem to rememeber Lorentz saying something like, "maybe this is a sign of what's to come."

I'm taking a Redhat Enterprise Linux training class next week. From the looks of it, it's very difficult if not impossible to use an Redhat Enterprise Linux laptop to take the class as the browser plugin doesn't want to install properly. Really guys? You couldn't test the software on your own operating system?

I ended up with the trombone. I have long arms. :)

The needs of the many outweight the needs of the few!

They talked and talked but in the end Daly smashed the pie to spite the busboy.

Fun fact: the Ides of September is the 13th. (I think it has to do with 31 day vs. other months). If it's making nasty noises, you can try this (but it's really last resort): put it in the freezer for awhile. The temperture changes the mechanics a bit and you can sometimes get it to read for awhile. I wouldn't do it on a humid day otherwise you might get condensation. http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html

There's a menu item that'll back all your data up to a USB stick/drive, and then restore to a new machine.

Yeah, sounds like I read that wrong based on your description. There's the optical/DVD/bluray drive in the PS3 (the one you put discs into) and there's also an internal hard drive (like a laptop or desktop). The hard drive on my version is fairly easy to replace, there's one screw and the drive slides out. The optical drive is more difficult to replace. Since you live in Boston, ask some friends and coworkers about taking the unit down to Chinatown. In Philly, there's folks down there that'll do repairs like this on the cheap. The main issue will be finding the replacement optical drive since they're not as common.

I think the OP's point was, all things equal, he'd rather play in a "hockey market" BUF/PHL/PIT/MTL/TOR/etc.. Buffalo was a bad choice to use as an example since we're all biased here. But I think he has a good point.

It's just a regular laptop SATA disk. Go buy one from NewEgg for <$50 (or upgrade your laptop (if you have one) and hand-down the laptop drive to the PS3). On my PS3, it only requires removing one phillips screw to replace it if I recall correctly. On the plus side, it'll probably end up being a lot more space than the current drive.

For the first time in a long time, I'm perilously close to being out of beer. My girlfriend drank the last Yards Tavern Spruce Monday night, so all I have left is a 750ml bottle of Victory Otto Ale (smoked Belgian dubbel). I'm kinda saving that one for a special occaision. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/345/74055

How come no one is talking about Bledsoe? :P

I wonder if it's just a different regional cuisine. The town I live in has a fairly large Mexican population, so there's a couple Mexican groceries and restaurants. So one day I decide I want a burrito. I drive down to "Famoso" and wander in. If there had been a jukebox in the place, the needle would have slid off the record as everyone turned to look at the gringo. Undeterred, I ordered a shredded chicken burrito to go (I'm not one to eat at a restaurant by myself). When I got home, it was somewhat what you described: shredded chicken, lettuce, cheese, and tomato with nearly no spices or seasoning. Food for thought. ;-)

I remember hearing that rule, but the Pens' third jerseys aren't black and gold by any stretch. http://shop.nhl.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3176727

There's a few errors in there. Gerbe is listed as a wing, for instance.

Suck. That's 15 games + however many more vs. the Flyers that I won't be watching at home. Game Center may not be a great investment this year.

Or the Pens. One of the guys here refer to the Flyers' 'creamsicle' uniform, which apparently is a little lighter orange than the normal one.

FWIW, that appears to be way in the suburbs out on the delta. To me, it's like watching the people with houses on the barrier islands in the Atlantic, build your house 5ft above sea level on the coast? Asking for it. http://goo.gl/maps/Fim3p

It doesn't say where the logo is going to be used. Maybe they'll do an 80s Canuck with the logo on the shoulders.
