Bud Selig being mad at the Mets for going public is like a criminal being mad at the victim for calling the cops. -- nm - David Sep 13, 11:01 13
- what was his reasoning for not allowing the hats? - Mel Profit Sep 13, 11:03 11
  - They're saying it was Joe Torre's call and he believes that no exceptions means no exceptions. -- nm - David Sep 13, 11:06 1
    - Stupid decision, but mountains being made out of molehills, imo. - musubi Sep 13, 11:13
  - cause then all the teams might want to wear hats recognizing first responders on the anniversary of 9/11. Couldn't have that. -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 11:04 8
    - I think he's gone completely senile. - Mel Profit Sep 13, 11:06 7
      - it's why the NFL is where they are and MLB is where they are -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 11:07 6
        
        NFL held the same position on 'unofficial' 9/11 stuff as did the MLB - and fined any player who wore it. - decline Sep 13, 11:16 2
        
        "NFL will let players wear special 9/11 tribute apparel this Sunday" -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 11:17 1
        
        They let them wear league authoritzed tribute apparel. Just like MLB did. - musubi Sep 13, 11:20
        
        Because people love the bloodlust and violence inheirent in the more brutal sport? (nm) - musubi Sep 13, 11:12 2
        
        I'llput NFL mgt decision up against MLB decisions any day of the week for the last 20 years - Beaker Sep 13, 11:15 1
        
        I dislike a lot of what Selig has done, but to pretend the NFL hasn't succeed in spite of it's own authoritarian and ugly policy is sticking your - musubi Sep 13, 11:19

It looks like Rick Perry's ties to Merck are much more than a $5000 contribution - Brian Sep 13, 10:53 13
- FWIW, I do appreciate that he's at least said that he regrets issue the exec order, that it should have been legislative. - musubi Sep 13, 10:56 11
  - I'm surprised Bachmann didn't ask, "So, what is your price?" which woulda been a killshot given his words. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 11:00 3
    - Yup, this was such an obvious comeback, I was saying it aloud in the car. (nm) - musubi Sep 13, 11:07 1
      - would have made for a great commercial and soundbite for their war to follow for sure -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 11:10
    - I'm not. Because it's Bachmann. - TFox Sep 13, 11:01
  - [deleted] 6
    - I agree with the policy...but his methods leave a lot to be desired; especially in the nature of the morality here. - Will Hunting Sep 13, 11:08
    - Hmmm, yeah, I pretty much agree with that. (nm) - musubi Sep 13, 11:06
    - however the ends do not necessarily justify the means. - znufrii Sep 13, 11:02 3
      - if it had been a politician you agreed with more, you would likely not even ask the question. - TFox Sep 13, 11:18 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Pretty much. I'd have loved it if he shot back at Bachman the sound science behind the decision, though. (nm) - musubi Sep 13, 11:23
- ruh roh -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 10:55
NHL 12 will allow the creation of female players thanks to the persistance of a 14 year old girl -- (link) - Beaker Sep 13, 10:50 3

- is this a Loosi thread? where is her car??? -- nm - peglegpete Sep 13, 11:05
- slippery slope....I mean most of us already carry RF devices so 'they' could decide to track varioius cits on a whim, cell phones, PDA special cards, - zeitgeist Sep 13, 11:04 2
  - Yes, that's all true. But they *should* get a warrant for it. If only to prevent abuses. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 13, 11:06
  - this is what kills reasonable expectation to privacy for me. Google Earth etc. There is NO expectation of privacy in today's world unless inside your - Beaker Sep 13, 11:06
- I think the police should need a warrant to put a tracker on me - period -- nm - Epiphany Sep 13, 10:58 5
  - yep -- nm - Flavorize Sep 13, 11:11
  - Sure, but *why*? Why is okay for the cops to follow you physically and visualy, but not electronically? The court is saying because the electronic - mara Sep 13, 11:05 2
    - I agree with Pippy and I think the court's reasoning is generally on point (though I disagree with the 100 mile exception). If I'm in public you have - pmb Sep 13, 11:12
    - hence my first comment. -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 11:06
  - I think the same. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 13, 11:00
- I'm bothered by the idea of electronic tracking. I accept that a cop can tail me. I object to a device attached to my property used to track me. - CovingtonCat Sep 13, 10:56
- Breaking Bad spoilers - Beaker Sep 13, 10:56
- yes but that has change over the last decade - Danedukenuuk Sep 13, 10:54
- I don't think there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place, why should it matter whether an electronic device is used? - znufrii Sep 13, 10:54 1
  - at one time, back in fairyland, police weren't allowed to use technology to get them to places that their human senses couldn't otherwise reach -- nm - moles Sep 13, 10:56
- if you're driving your car on public roads, i'm not sure how driving *longer* gives you more of a REP -- nm - moles Sep 13, 10:52 4
  - I think a big fault people have with privacy is they've come to expect that nobody notices them most of the time. - Max Sep 13, 10:54 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - and if they followed him in unmarked cars 24/7 and provided the same evidence, what would be unconstitutional about it? -- nm - Max Sep 13, 11:02
  - this. It's either yes or no, regardless of length of time. (IMO) -- nm - Strongbad Sep 13, 10:53
- In other words, they could track me driving to Boston, because generally I'd just go 95N to 93N? - TFox Sep 13, 10:51
- I'm not sure that the length of time makes much of a difference to me. - musubi Sep 13, 10:47
- Would it be illegal for a police car to park on your street and then follow you wherever you drove? -- nm - Max Sep 13, 10:47 22
  - [deleted] 21
    - availability of resources is a question for the executive or legislative, not the judicial. if they can follow, you're public. - Max Sep 13, 10:50 19
      - [deleted] 18
        
        Then I think that's an error of judgement. -- nm - Max Sep 13, 10:54 17
        
        [deleted] 16
        
        how is something just if the government has only X budget to enforce something but then becomes unjust if the government had unlimited resources to - Max Sep 13, 10:59 12

        we're outside my knowledge of legal terms and precedent, but that's a bullshit violation of good faith participation in a society governed by law. - Max Sep 13, 11:10 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        the answer is simple. there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public. there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in private, which is why - Max Sep 13, 11:06 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        No, that's what's funny. In doing genealogy you get a real sense that there was no damn privacy. - Max Sep 13, 11:13 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        but they aren't opening the car, just placing something on it. The police do search mail if they think it is an explosive or drugs don't they? -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 11:19 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I can see the argument that attaching something to the car might be seen to unreasonably violate the integrity of personal property - znufrii Sep 13, 11:20
        
        are they looking in the car or just tracking its movements on public roads? there's a big difference there. -- nm - Max Sep 13, 11:18
        
        Makes perfect sense to me. (nm) - musubi Sep 13, 10:58 1

Ha. Tiger Woods 12 for the PC is not based on the console version, but on the free online Tiger Woods Online. -- (link) - Mop Sep 13, 10:40
When does that Dolphin Tale movie come out? I thought it was this weekend. -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 10:39 7

  - I wish I could tell you that Andy Dolphin fought the good fight against the sharks that day. I wish I could tell you he won. -- nm - Morgan Freeman Sep 13, 11:05 1
    - heh -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 11:09
  - it took 3 dolphins to get that right as the first 2 were dyslexic and didn't know what the fuck he was talking about -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 10:47
- 9/23. You know there is a website where they keep close track of this kind of thing. - not2fast Sep 13, 10:44 2
  - yeah ... I always just refer to it as "that other website" -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Sep 13, 10:50
  - ST? -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 10:46
New "Syndicate" game in the works. That's right. Syndicate. -- (link) - Mop Sep 13, 10:38
To be fair, I think the Pats let Henne complete passes so that Tom Terrific could get the ball back quicker against that defense. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 10:36 10
- or else Phillip Rivers is going to tear their shit up next weekend -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 10:40
- Related to earlier comments, this is why I am a devout believer that twin TEs is far and away the best base formation in football. - David Sep 13, 10:40 7
  - Sacrificing a FB or a WR? - musubi Sep 13, 10:44 6
    - Exactly. It's a running formation but the Colts have proven over the years how easy it is to set up passing mismatches. -- nm - David Sep 13, 10:46 5
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Yes, Brody Eldridge was forced to start and his hands are terrible. -- nm - David Sep 13, 10:58
      - Do the colts ever really use a FB though? - musubi Sep 13, 10:51 2
        
        No, that's why I said twins is their base formation. - David Sep 13, 10:57 1
        
        Gotcha, the Colts being the specific example of the general principle of twin TEs. - musubi Sep 13, 11:02
- Wouldn't be a bad strategy even if they traded FGs for TDs -- nm - budice Sep 13, 10:40

Ugh. Co-op: "The tester suggested I ask you if there's a reason why this print utility [that we have no connection to] doesn't support Firefox 4&5..." - Ender Sep 13, 10:35 3
- "It's because of an old family fued between Firefox and [The print utility]. Like Hatfield-McCoys, it's best to not get involved." (nm) - musubi Sep 13, 10:37
- Just say because 4&5 have serious security issues which is true. -- nm - lileve Sep 13, 10:37 1
  - P.S.: Mozzila is also I think no longer supporting either version if that helps you further. -- nm - lileve Sep 13, 11:08
I said to the mothergirdler that if he don't watch his girdling mouth, i will girdle his corset up no questions asked. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 10:34 8
- Heh. -- nm - kelly Sep 13, 10:52
