Around SBN: Now They've Screwed Spurs, UEFA Willing To Review Rule

Open Gameday Thread, 3/1

Let us never speak of that awful February again. If the Giants want to reach the Cactus League playoffs, they'll have to have a much better March.

My guess for a random appearance today: Jake Wald

Vista is horrible and it makes Windows look even worse in these debates. I’m purposefully waiting to buy a new laptop until the new MS OS comes out, or at least until it’s beta tested so I can see if it’s worth a damn.

Macs really are confusing for no good reason. Although I’ll defend Final Cut Pro til the day I die. It’s such an awesome editing program and I prefer it over all the others.

Very true. When a person sits down to use a computer, PC or Mac, and it’s a confusing and frustrating experience, it’ll leave a bad taste in your mouth either way.

Y’all will laugh at me but I really like Dell computers, and my next laptop will almost certainly be one. My boyfriend works in networking and that and he loves Dells too. So if my computer-minded guy says it’s okay, I’m down with it too.

Vista really took a bad hit from an ugly early release. It’s not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be. A lot of the things people complain about are things that would save people like my grandmother (who knows jack and shit about computers) from getting some pretty nasty viruses, and can be turned off if you know what you’re doing and don’t need your hand held every step of the way.

Just out of curiosity, what bugs you most about it?

When I use vista it just feels like all the shiny stuff is sorta fake and forced. I don’t think macs do the shiny stuff JUST to be shiny, it has an actual use. Vista just looks like they were trying too hard. I don’t really have any problem with how it operates, though.

i can understand that kind of thing (though i do find some of the shiny stuff useful, the preview when you hover over something on the taksbar makes watching videos at work way easier), but that (as you said) isn’t really a problem with how it functions.

It’s a resource hog too and that drives me up the wall. I’m the queen of multi-tasking and I buy my computers with lots of RAM and processing power so I can multi-task. If the fucking OS chokes on me when I’m trying to use it for what I bought the damn thing for, I get mad.

by Viliphied on Mar 1, 2009 12:30 PM PST up reply actions  

Depends on when the comptuer was released..

Take the computers from last year at this time that were trying to run Vista Home Premium on 1 GB of RAM and yes, they couldn’t multi-task because Home Premium just about takes up 1 GB or RAM to run. But when you look at computers that are the same cost as the ones with 1 GB of RAM last year, they have 4 GB of RAM. No problem multi-tasking there. I’ve had my HP Vista laptop with 3 GB of RAM for a while now, and while it was a bit to get used to a few things, I haven’t had any problems with mine. Even if I’m multi-tasking with Firefox and multiple tabs open, foobar2000 *forgot to start music earlier so starts (ahhhh…11/29/82 The Who) *, AIM, and Baseball Mogul open, I’m fine.

Lastest on Manny

According to Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times Dodgers owner Frank McCourt will not consider Boras’s counter-offer of two years and $45MM in non-deferred payments with an opt-out clause. The Dodgers have pulled their most recent offer according to the AP (via ESPN), so the two sides are back where they started.

Hernandez has a source who says Boras values $45MM in deferred payments at about $42MM in present value. Negotiations are set to resume Monday at the earliest.

Agian I judge defense differently. With a LF with his bat am looking for a defender who makes all the routine plays and throws. Admittedly not watching all Dodger games but the 20 or so I did watch with Manny in LF he made every play I would expect from a LF with the exception of one play. His throws were on line, he knew what a cutoff man was and threw to the correct base.

No way is he GG but he is more than adequate to play LF especially with that bat.

by wilriv21 on Mar 1, 2009 2:53 PM PST up reply actions  

Manny DOES NOT make routine plays. He was better w/ the bums but even then I saw at least one Pablo Sandoval flyball drift past Manny without him even moving until it was already past him.

He does hit the cutoff man, though. And of course when he’s being Manny at the plate he more than makes up for his statuesque D.

Hmmm

you say “differently” I say “wrongly”. Manny costs you runs in the OF. He literally takes away value as a player because of his fielding. He makes up for it with hitting, but that doesn’t change the fact that he harms his value as a player when he steps onto the field.
