It's about two years old (it's a Foxconn Atom-based tiny-ass desktop), but I'm about to move to an older Dell Vostro 200. It actually has a better/faster processor, and it's more expandable. The Foxconn's a glorified nettop, but it's too small to be considered a mini-tower. It's actually an older version of this,…

You're responding to spam. These are the new "I MADE $58sdjklfn" posts.

Connecticut might as well be Canada in terms of high school football. We get the occasional star (Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez is from Bristol, but he went to the University of Florida), but it's generally not as much of a factor as it is in the south.

What this person said. I mostly cover Winsted, a town that's been flailing for decades and although it has potential for its own rebirth, it's getting choked out by other factors.

As one of Jessica's colleagues, she knocked it out of the fucking park with this story. A little addendum: there was an incident in January 2012 involving cheerleaders at Torrington High School getting bullied, and it cost the coach his job:…

A couple of weeks after the verdict's announced in Steubenville, more sexual assault involving football players up in Torrington, Connecticut.

If there's a good enough team in there. It might take a while, but almost nothing is permanent in football, besides the fact that people will bitch and moan about it.

I think they were thrown out there as an example in a different conference. Boise State was pretty much the only reason to care about the WAC in football, besides Hawaii (pre-Sugar Bowl bed-shitting).

Well, yes. And the rest of the conference will be screwed if UConn jumps ship, but I'm guessing the likely options smell the desperation from Storrs. Well, desperation and cow manure.

You do realize that UConn's still there, right? They certainly think they're a major program, and they very likely could get back to that level, even if they aren't now. By the way, they finished 7th in the Big East this year, only four games back of co-leaders Louisville, Georgetown and Marquette. 20-10 record…

I just did this too. The third screen on my phone consists of just the Newsstand app, a folder of default apps that I don't use, and another folder of apps that are just for emergency use only (find my friends, find my phone, compass). Everything I use is on the first screen, and the second screen is just the app…

I think you have to be approved. I'd commented on Deadspin post-Kinjacalypse, and a comment I posted today went straight into the pending queue.

Exactly. People just need to be patient as the kinks get ironed out, but more often than not, the reaction tends to be foaming-at-the-mouth rage at the sight of change.

Yeah, I saw it on Deadspin. The whole Kinja system seems to be working much better in the full version, at least in my experience.

Yeah, that Slauson cutoff really is no joke.

It seems like the problem was caused by dropping the star system. Before, unapproved accounts had to get physically cleared by a user, and that meant all of these spam comments would sit there in the pink, unnoticed by most. It's a better way to stop spam in the first place, but it isn't compatible with what Gawker's…

Mine was made in (I think) August of 2010, so it's not quite THAT old. While it has the pads, it still needs the slot, but it sounds like it would need more than that as well. I just figured I could maximize this netbook, since it's still pretty good and very much usable.

...I sit corrected.

I'll defer to the experts on this, because it's admittedly more than I'm comfortable with. tnkgrl added the mini-PCI-E slot to her Aspire One a while ago: http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2008/10/28/modding-the-acer-aspire-one-hsdpa/

Nope, considering that Franco said his inspiration — nay, his muse — was Dangeruss.
