I'd imagine games for the Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven schools are packed, but they also tend to have really fucking good basketball teams. At least when I was in high school, most of our teams (one of two schools in a relatively large suburb) sucked donkey balls, so nobody that wasn't personally invested in the…

They probably were at the beginning of the season. That win qualified Newtown for states, I believe (at least I'm pretty sure 40% qualifies for boys basketball... it's either that or 50%), but it was also probably the usual Connecticut high school sports apathy.

As per the CIAC website, 57-56 was the right score. As we've seen, though, ESPN completely overshot the target when it comes to proofreading.

I'd say it's because Sandy Hook is in Connecticut, but ESPN can't even spell "Newtown" correctly. If this happened in Westport, nobody would ever misspell "Staples".

Sure, they're 8-8 and on pace to make the state playoffs, but it's safe to say that with a team field goal percentage of 37%, it's not because of Newtown's shooting.

As for the athlete running for President, Jack Kemp ran for VP, which (had he won) would have put him one Bob Dole heart attack away from the highest office in the land.

...but why is all the porn gone?

I picked up a pair of thin clients some time ago, and was hoping to use one of them (Wyse S90) as a storage/print server. Since I'm trying to do things cheaply as well, I'm trying to limit the storage to a 1GB CF card I had lying around (these thin clients had tiny flash storage modules, but they use standard IDE…

Orrrrrrr how about people just do what they want, even if it is free advertising?

Wasn't aware of that, but there's still a pretty big chasm between "Petrino lies to a player" and "Petrino's a racist", even if the notion that black players can't handle the QB position is racist as hell.

Or maybe he had a shot in practice, failed, and agreed to move to RB. Until anyone can come up with how things went during Bush's tenure at Louisville, we're all just speculating. Kinda like saying noted jackass Bobby Petrino is a racist jackass because he made a black player switch positions.

You could have just said Petrino was hated by everyone who's met him for more than three seconds.

They actually revolve around Clay Matthews's complete and utter overexposure, as well as the absolute shittiness of all ads involving the NFL.

Also, CF is pin-for-pin compatible with IDE, so I'm using a couple of adapters to make some thin clients I picked up at Goodwill useful. (Wyse V10 and S90, the latter's used for stuff like Magicjack or as a cheap NAS)

Service guy said the issue was the hard drive, adding that Windows 8 was overrated anyways. ;)

Can you buy the Windows 8 upgrade using one computer, then only install it on a different computer? I just dropped off my laptop to get serviced (it was overheating, and now it won't fully boot into Vista), and I don't think I'll get it back by the 31st, and I was hoping to buy the upgrade by then.

The dipshit who posted the billboard on 95 in Stamford whining about Benghazi took it down a while ago. Pack it in, conspiracy theorists. Show's over.

Not as much as I'm enjoying the COMPLETE AND UTTER LACK OF TRAFFIC in the frozen tundra of New England! The best part about having a car up here isn't the heater, it's that I can hop in, drive somewhere and get there at a reasonable time!

Unfortunately, all Kindle-compatible books have to comply with CanCon.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone was working on a webapp to remotely control a cattle prod, in which case, it's only a matter of time. ;)
