  1. @ESPNNFL: "If he falls to 5, I'm telling you right now they'll take him

    John Clayton on @ESPNRadio last night regarding WAS and QB Marcus Mariota



    This is strange man.


    Eagles picked up RB Ryan Mathews from the Chargers.

    He has no source and the move makes no sense. Mariota is a worse version of RG3.
  2. Put him on the pats and they are a lock for the SB.

    Seattle needs a stretch'em guy, and Andre doesn't have the extra gear he once had.

    GB would be lethal with Aaron Rodger type accuracy with Andre out wide.

    He make Indy a serious contender

    Baltimore would take a notch up as a potential contender

    Denver already has their version of Andre

    49ers will never win the Super Bowl as long as Kapernick is their QB. Plus no harbaugh to pull the strings

    Carolina has their young/unproven version of AJ



    If I were him my choices would be in this order

    GB
    Pats
    Indy
    Baltimore

    I like GB if they dont sign Cobb

  3. So Europe was correct i the 1930's to let Germany annex the Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia in order to keep the peace? You know Germany and Russia was on the Germans side back then too.  

     

    So allowing a country who believes that their messiahs will only come if they cause mass chaos have nuclear weapons is safe for the region?

     

    So would it have been wise for the civilized world to go after Germany when they entered the Rhineland or was it better we waited and did nothing?

    Last I checked Iran isn't invading anyone. The world leaders are working on a deal to allow Iran to have a nuclear program, One that every country that has ill intent for them has.  Iran has no troops close to Israel, likely does not have a Missile that could deliver a Nuke to Israel either.

  4. @Nick_Mathews: #Texans star Andre Johnson, the No. 3 pick in 2003 and No. 9 in NFL history in receptions, asks to be traded or cut. http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2015/03/texans-star-andre-johnson-asks-to-be-traded-or-cut/



    @McClain_on_NFL: Texans gave Andre Johnson permission to seek a trade. Told him he'd have a reduced role next season. He asked to be traded or cut instead.

    They will if he aagrees to take a pay cut.
  5. Absolutely the right thing. Israel has no right to attack Iran. Sometimes you have to punch a friend in the face to keep them from doing something stupid. This isn't about Israel or Iran, but everyone else in the region. What about Russia, who is on Iran's side. The last thing we need is another war going on.
  6. OK. .. here goes. .. from a non IT minded perspective.

    I've read several things. .. up to and including the who is in favor and why. .. and who is against and why. ...

    my early disclaimer is. .. there is a ton on info. .. not necessarily written in English. ... or easily understood by the non IT people. ...

    in short. ... it seems like a socialist approach. ... insures "fairness".... as providers are currently able to charge higher or lower for various speeds. .... ... some claim only the rich will have the best available whereas others have slower service. .... it also seems to add more control to what you can and can't access....

    at least from what I've read. ... and the way I understood. ...I would be against it. ...

    anyone care to explain it differently. ... or explain why I "should" welcome this change. ...

    So quick version. ISPs are also the primary cable providers. With the rise of companies like Netflix, the cable providers started to lose cash. So they were throttling back inteback speeds when people were using stuff like Netflix. People were paying for a specific product and receiving a product considerably lower. For example, you would pay for 50GB speed, but only receive 5GB when you were using Netflix.

    ISPs essentially charged Netflix and the like bribary charges for their customers not to be throttled back.

    The new rules do not allow ISPs to charge Netflix for customers to receive the speeds they already pay for.
  7. I believe that they are not needed nearly as much and they certainly aren't as powerful.

    I also believe that non-union salaries are related to union salaries since most industries can unionize. It is one thing to say that companies today do not abuse their workers "as bad" and pay a more deserved salary but it is different to say that those companies would be that accommodating if unions ceased to exist or be legal. I don't believe for a minute that all companies or industries are nearly as concerned for their employees as they are for profits. That is the way it should be as they are in the business of making moneyarrow-10x10.png, AKA capitalism. It also means that without the right to get together as a group, companies with huge work forces would probably care less of disgruntled employees or working conditions.

    Spot on, unfortunately this is also the reason so many companies have moved out of the country.
  8. How so?

    Many ways,throttling speeds is probably the most famous. They often lie about available speeds, most can't even come close to providing what they offer to most customers.

    They have refused for years to convert to IPv6, which would make internet for customers much better.

    I can personally tell you they don't keep their rental equipment up to date with security.

    They sell information to third party vendors, legally by the way since that information flows through their equipment.

    They play off the fact that 95% of their customers have no idea how the internet really works and rob people blind.
