I laughed.

110101 is binary for 32 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 53. Dunno the significance...

Says my brain - HURRR DURRRR

Oooh Jericho, yeah that's a good feel there. Haven't watched The Stand, so I'll probably be looking into that later.

You think the game ending on a blown penalty and an incorrect call is right? Regardless of what happens earlier in the game, it doesn't make one (well, two) really bad calls magically ok at the end.

I get that same feeling, except I don't think it know what its place is yet (or else its just not doing a good job of representing it).

That's fair, since I would assume the HDD is a typical 7,200 RPM.

He did remind me of whatshisface (the bounty hunter from one of the Firefly episodes), and the sequences of Miles swordfighting with the militia, trenchcoat and all, left a very interesting thought in my head.

Ohh I like it. Make it so!

Interesting, I'll have to pay more attention to the credits. Thanks for the info!

If the officiating was perfect, the game would not have played out the way it did, and its just as likely that GB could've put up 30 points or something.

I know, what I meant to convey was that he could've ruled in favor of the Packers, in an attempt to balance out the blown call that was in favor of the Seahawks.

It sounds so good I'd go out and buy one this instant, if I had the funds.

Ah, OK, so I take it to mean Kripke's directing and writing?

I think it could be argued that the game is more dangerous (abnormally dangerous is difficult to quantify) because the players are being much more judicious with their hits and blocks and such, precisely because they know they have a big chance of intimidating the refs into a no-call or that the refs will just plain…

Kripke's writing it, but Favreau is directing it, right?

Bless you, kind sir, for bringing this to my attention.

Sam, I'm assuming you only tested out the SSD version. Is there any report on speeds with the TB HDD version? You know, the "moving parts" reason for ruggedization :)

I don't know. I think if enough people, especially more high profile people, are willing to risk the ban on criticizing the scabs, it would put a ton of extra pressure on the NFL to get the regular refs back in. I figure that's a solid enough reason to take a few hours for a quick TV appearance.

So, its ok to overlook multiple grievous errors in officiating, because the team that's complaining about it didn't perform well?
