WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5

WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

Feb-14-13  Jim Bartle: I used to play lots of pickup games on that floor, when it was still called Harmon Gym and was a snakepit.

Saw the Hazzard-Goodrich Broons beat Cal there 58-56, a great game.

What he keeps repeating at the end is, "Tell me I'm not dreaming!"

Some amazing shooting, too.

  WannaBe: <hms123> Thanks! Getting stockfish right now. (Gonna do more 'Testing' later =)
Feb-15-13  hms123: <WannaBe> BTW, you can sync up pgn files to the Stockfish app through itunes. I figured it out at one point and it worked well. I haven't tried to do that in a while, but I am sure you can figure it out yourself. If not, I can go back in and see what I did.

  WannaBe: New Yahoo site/home page sucks.

It used to be, I can easily change my news location from San Mateo to Long Beach to Sioux Falls. Now I can't even navigate around the d@ng place.

I like to right click on a link/pic and open in new tab, after I am done browsing the home/main page, I then read each article, instead of arrow back/forward.

(Because for some reason, certain sites can't remember the fact that I am 1/2 way down their long-ass'd home page, and I have to re-scroll to my previous location.)

Now on Yahoo's home page, certain links you can right click and open in new tab, others you can't do diddly-squat. Nothing is more annoying than a page that have different behaviour from link to link.

That's all I have to say about that.

Feb-21-13  NakoSonorense: <...open in new tab, after I am done browsing the home/main page, I then read each article, instead of arrow back/forward.>

Ha, I do the same. But I can still do it on the new Yahoo! homepage. Instead of right-clicking, though, I use the scroll wheel as a button to open the link in a new tab. This doesn't work for you?

  WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Thanks!! Just tried it, and found out that if I wheel 'click', it opens up in a new tab. =)
Feb-22-13  NakoSonorense: Did I just teach the legendary <WannaBe> something about computers?

Woo hoo!

  WannaBe: Did you know,

Robert Lincoln, son of Abe, was once saved by the brother of John W. Booth, Edwin.

Also, he was somewhat of a bad luck when it come to presidents and assassinations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert...

  WannaBe: OKC Thunders 119, NO Hornets 74. Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch...

That's gotta sting, maybe the name change to Pelicans could not come earlier/sooner.

  WannaBe: I love the last 2 paragraph:

http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/te...

For a price of almost $300 dollars, (smart phone and accessories not included), you too can improve your game.

I do have a final question, does the ball need battery/batteries to operate? I am guessing yes, how else would it have the power to transmit data out? If so, how do I replace the battery and how much is it? Is it extra? Can I buy replacements at my local Radio Shack? Sears? Frys Electronics? Office Depot??
