Kris is right. The reason a VPN works is because you're changing the route the traffic goes down. Right now there is a bottleneck between Netflix's CDN (Level 3) and Comcast and Verizon, so traffic is going from Netflix to Level 3 to Comcast/Verizon to You and it's getting stuck between Level 3 and Comcast/Verizon.

Kluwe (to my knowledge) isn't gay, so he can't be making a hostile work environment claim based on sexual orientation (you typically need to be part of the protected class).

The kid hits the BACKside of the mound on his throw. It's total luck that he makes it into the garbage can. My entire adolescence has been destroyed.

Using those metrics, I think calling MLS a 5th tier league is about right.

If you're trying to get out-of-market networks, a Slingbox is by far your best choice. In fact, it's pretty regularly used by west coast television critics to watch shows live on the east coast.

Actually, probably not. The Supreme Court case was decided solely based on their live-watching features, not on the recording aspect.

Cable companies have to pay the networks to broadcast their channels (except for PBS, which operates under the "must carry" provision). They don't charge you just to be dicks. They charge you because the networks are charging them.

There's Waldo!

And Ride on Curlin' finished in last place. I don't see how that changes a thing that I said.

California Chrome was the only horse in the Top 6 to run the Preakness and, of the Top 3, only Medal Count ran the Derby. Not saying it was that big of a deal, but it's certainly being talked about.

And in this case, they're extra bullshit because bonus points are awarded for playing competitive games (like WC qualifiers) as opposed to friendlies, and Brazil didn't get to play any WC qualifiers.

Our photographer actually had it in his contract that we had to provide a meal for him and his assistant. That's generally what you do when you hire somebody to be in your general vicinity every moment for 8-12 hours.

I've never run track, but it seemed odd to me that the passer was carrying the baton in her right hand while the receiver was sticking out her left hand. Is that common and was it the problem?

Work (this alone should have gotten it, though school likely would have worked too)

We'll the team doesn't get a medal so the better correction would probably be "The 2012 Olympic Relay Team MEMBERS Just Lost Their Silver Medals."

It's always important to remember that your rights end where somebody else's begin. In this case, your right to freedom of speech does not trump my right to freedom of association. So if I don't want my company to associate with somebody because they're an apologist for racists, that's my right.

Without a longer video I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that with two outs and the bases loaded that the pitcher was working from the windup and has a Nomo-esque delivery, giving the runner plenty of time to get home.

To add to McUncool's post, Deadspin's first post on the subject carried the headline

For the first month or so after a movie or episode comes out, anything beyond "Holy crap that was amazing," should stay out of any and all of the following: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, break rooms, dinner tables, comment threads, and smoke signals.

The PR flack said they have had 450-500 deaths "since 2011." I calculated 3,500 deaths PER YEAR, in 2011, 2012, and 2013. That's assuming the population of Indian workers has been stable at 500,000 each year. That may not be the case, but that's the information he gave us.
