GM's thread about nothing (28 Viewers)

[St. Louis Bob]

I did bet on Sea +2 today as well.

Should have gone heads up here. I'm going with the Pats in this one.

I'm hoping for something silly to happen with Brady's balls and the line swings the other way.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

my biggest bet of the Super Bowl might just be on which song Katy Perry is going to open with at halftime.

All-in on Roar +150.

Truck found her current tour setlists and she opens with it at every single concert.

I love her.

I called dibs YEARS ago, sporto.

Let me just impregnate her once and then you can have her.

I don't want you even looking in her general direction, Jim Bob Duggar.

WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah, I could probably sex her in the pooper and she'd get pregnant.

This rules so hard

Xwrong.

it IS cheating.the colts balls were not off by any weight whatsoever...so how is it that just the Patriots balls , ALL 12 of them, were off by 2+ lbs,while the Colts balls were not off one bit?

answer: Bellichick and Brady cheated. where there's smoke there's fire.you backing the wrong people here.the NFL is goingto come down hard on BB,he'll get suspended for the SB, huge fine , loss of draft picks, and suspension for 4+ games next season.it's THAT serious.not a preseason game, not week 1, but the AFC Championship game..now the circus turns to the SB..he won't make the trip to Az..they'll let him get the team prepped till sunday,and annouce it then,that he's suspended.

THEY CHEATED.

what's so hard to understand here?

and if you think Brady didn't know about it,you're nuts.he was in on the gig.check his laugh at that radio show the other day,when asked about it.his obnoxious arrogant laughter tells it all.would love to have a body language expert sit in on that conversation..I'm sure there were telltale signs ..

also,if you think Bobby Kraft wasn't in on the gig, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya..

other owners are probably clamoring that the NFL come down hard on this guy, BB, who already was caught cheating,and now is again.

and those of you who don't think he should be suspended, they banned Sean Payton for a full year for Bountygate..and his DC was out for 2 years..thats for putting money on injuries made to opposing players.actually altering the game and its parts - deflating balls - is even WORSE...

the mdeia is going to make this SB a circus, it could affect sponsors, etc..the integrity of the game has been compromised,yet,again,by Bill Bellichick and Tommy Brady.

they're both FRAUDS, and this will only further cement the idea that BB doesn't sniff the HOF and that Brady gets an asterisk..

ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire..

Yup.

Can you give me some fancy computer words? I asked him why we needed it and he said

Home firewalls are really just devices that blindly pass traffic back and forth from the Internet to your computers.

A business class firewall inspects each packet to make sure it came from where it says it came from, inspects the source and destination of outgoing traffic, and can monitor or block where users are going on the Internet. They can prevent malicious software and data loss. They can also be updated to prevent future vulnerabilities.

Seems like overkill for what I presume is a relatively small office. If you guys are now 100 employees or something, it's a different ballgame. We don't even bother with one here and we're fine. Just take precautions with your desktops, don't open stupid spam and run a virus scan periodically. My two cents.

I'm sure he's a super dude to have a beer with, but you lawyer types have to be embarrassed that gunz has the same degree as you, right?

my notebook might not be up to date, but did he ever pass the bar exam?

nope. he stopped trying.

I was in a san diego fantasy football league with him and 17 seconds. TGunz is a pretty fun guy to hang out with.

So what does one do with a law degree if one is not able to practice law?

[General Malaise]

Again, unless Thorn's got a giant office with a bunch of employees now, an expensive 3rd party firewall is absolutely unnecessary. Windows software has a built in firewall that's good enough for most offices.

When You Would Want a Third-Party FirewallBy default, the Windows firewall only does what’s really important: block incoming connections. It has some more advanced features, but they’re in a hidden, harder-to-use interface.

For example, most third-party firewalls allow you to easily control which applications on your computer can connect to the Internet. They’ll pop up a box when an application first initiates an outgoing connection. This allows you to control which applications on your computer can access the Internet, blocking certain applications from connecting.

Power users may love this feature, but it’s probably not a good feature for the average user. They’ll be charged with identifying applications that should be allowed to connect and may block background-updater processes from connecting, preventing their software from updating and leaving it vulnerable. It’s also a very noisy task, as you’ll have to confirm a prompt box every time a new application wants to connect. If you really don’t trust a program to connect to the Internet, perhaps you shouldn’t be running the program on your computer in the first place.

Nevertheless, if you want outgoing-connection management, you’ll probably want a third-party firewall. They also offer an interface where you can more easily view statistics, firewall logs, and other information.

For most users, using a third-party firewall just introduces unnecessary complexity.
