  1. The base pay I can understand but I want to know what the $400,000 in benefits were. The documents they link to don't really show much of anything. I've seen where cops make more in overtime pay than they do in base but that's probably not the case for a superintendent.
  2. It would be funny if it turns out to be routine skin cancer.
  3. It's had support for Netflix from the beginning and HBO Go for a few months now. I'm hoping for a screen mirror feature or something like Apple's airplay.
  4. Took me a while. Android doesn't really support Flash anymore either. There are ways around it but it takes a minimal amount of work.
  5. I'd guess around 85 wins which could put them in the mix with the expanded format but probably on the wrong side of it. St. Louis won the world series with 83 wins in 2006 so it's possible but last year 85 would have been 8th in the AL.
  6. I'm thinking they'll be extremely average which is a huge improvement.
  7. Usually people serve 48 hours for a 154 day sentence. They must have been confused.
  8. No. This biggest complaint people have about it is the metro layout and gimping desktop mode. If you get a laptop/desktop with it or a Surface Pro then you can just install this program http://www.classicshell.net/ to get your old fashioned start button back. You can also boot directly to desktop instead of the tile interface so you'll never even need to know the tiles are there. Once you do that it's almost identical to Windows 7 except for a few small improvements to navigation in the file explorer.
  9. Wouldn't surprise me if he locked his wife and/or daughter with in with them naked and then acted shocked and outraged after they get raped.
  10. If those pitching numbers are right then they've got a pretty solid but completely unspectacular staff.
  11. You can get the same one on HP's website for a lot cheaper even if you upgrade it to a 1080p screen, graphics card, and a 1TB hard drive with SSD cache
  12. I don't think it's that bad. The Metro layout is terrible but if you install Classic Shell it puts an old fashioned start button back on the task bar and you can boot directly to desktop.
  13. Weren't they talking $100M for him when the offseason started? That's a huge difference. It wouldn't surprise me if he only made 90 starts over 4 years but there aren't a whole lot of options for pitching either.
  14. Frys has a good selection. Definitely want to avoid Acer or Dell. I've got a 4 year old HP and the only problem with it is the battery died recently but a replacement was only $20. Also it runs slow but that's because it's 4 years old. For under $1k I'd say this is as good as you're going to get: http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/E2E34AV?HP-ENVY-15t-j100-Quad-Edition-Notebook-PC-ENERGY-STAR- On the customizations you can upgrade to a hybrid hard drive, 24 GB SSD cache, 1080p screen, and 12 GB RAM and still be just under $1,000.
  15. I've tried Ubuntu on my Nexus. I know it's still a beta version but it was barely usuable.

    LG G2

    I've mostly heard good things about it. Usually about the battery life.
  17. But it's always funny seeing those 5' Asian girls using a ridiculously large Galaxy Note. Anyway they didn't put the Nexus 6 which is the only one I'd consider getting.
  18. How do they even determine who gets him? I know under the old system you just had to post the highest bid but if everybody puts up $20M what's the deciding factor?
  19. Maybe some day they'll actually find a link between higher minimum wages and unemployment.
  20. Google tells me the average RN starts around $50k now and presumably would be higher than that in California. They'd only be making about 40% as much as the average new nurse. $15 universally doesn't make much sense since someone in Hicksville, Arkansas could probably be king of the trailer park with a salary like that but it still won't get them very far in New York or LA or a lot of places with indoor plumbing.
  21. Just throw them all out there and hope someone can do a competent job. That strategy usually doesn't work too well though.
  22. The $12 you were getting in 1995 is worth $18.39 today according to the first random inflation calculator I could find.
