Would not call it a FireFox issue since that is what I use and I see them fine. Video does not always play on the home computer, but that is more an OS issue than a browser issue since they play fine on the office computer (I still use XP at home since it does what I HAVE to be able to do at home, which is write).
I think a big question is how likely a player's stock would be to rise given another year. One could argue that DeShon Elliott's stock was likely as high now as it ever would be. Not that he was flash in the pan, but what if he sticks around for another season and plays better overall but the whole defense gets better around him and other guys get more attention, plus he doesn't get as lucky and only ends up with 3 interceptions? Holton Hill on the other hand probably would have been benefited from having a full season of work rather than having not played for the last third of the season, and from the chance to prove his character and reliability to the NFL honchos. And although it doesn't apply to the NFL, other boss vs professor comparison appropriate in many cases are that the work you do for the boss ends when you leave the office and doesn't start up until you arrive again the next day. Plus all my bosses, even the bad ones, have been better at their jobs than the majority of my professors were.
But in the meantime, it still does what I need and with a modicum of stability. I write with an older version of Word, so I don't need all this cloud-related crap that newer systems are trying to force us into...
Smart guy. Microsoft gets it right about one out of every three times and they force feed the customers their crap in between a quality OS. 95 and 98 pretty good and then several s___ systems until XP and crap again until 7, etc. They force the big box stores to honor their latest crap on new computers and the customers get to pay for frustration. I too keep my XP plugged in for offline work.
Microsoft’s business model seems to be driven by a basic contempt for the customer. They know they have a practical monopoly with hundreds of millions of PC users worldwide — most will never move away from Windows, so MS can do whatever they want without jeopardizing much of the user base. PC manufacturers are in a similar spot. They need an OS that people are familiar with, and that’s certainly a seller’s market.
So. Much. Truth. The first sentence really sums it up. If Macs weren't so overpriced and the customer service experience so pretentious, I'd have stayed switched over a decade ago. Currently investigating touch-screen laptops running Linux.... so I can better follow the NFL draft, coverage, and Hornfans threads
Maybe not if you consider the useful life of a Mac can easily go six years or more, with relatively few problems compared to a similarly-spec’d Windows machine. My primary Mac now is a 2013 MacBook Pro that I use heavily and it still runs like the day I bought it. Plus, I rebuilt this website on it 3 years ago so I’m a little partial to it.
My Dell is 8 years old. I bought a new Dell, kept it about a week, before getting a refund. I just bought a new Dell the first week of April. What a piece of crap. I got a total runaround from Dell (including them wanting me to send it to them, give them 3-4 weeks to repair and send it back) until I gave them Michael Dell's home address and asked if they it would be considered "bad faith" if I put a 357 wadcutter through it before sending it to his home by Lone Star Overnight. Suddenly, refund, new better laptop being built and shipped to me. I get daily calls and email updates on my new laptop.
Unfortunately, RSI now necessitates a touchscreen for me... so I'd have had to switch from Mac anyways since they refuse to make touchscreen laptops. Interestingly enough, it was a hardware problem on a relatively new Mac combined with a horrible Apple store experience that made me an ex-customer. If they made touchscreen laptops, my hatred of Windows 10 would probably compel me to give them another chance. Instead I'm navigating the murky world of touch-screen Linux laptops... and so far not finding what I want. Random prediction : Bryce Love taken among the first 3 picks of next year's NFL draft.
PCs can easily last that long, but are often easier to do hardware upgrades for along the way (although that's changing b/c the manufacturers all hate their customers also).
Yeah I just got sick of it all. If it isn't Microsoft it's Google or someone else trying to control my life... ...So I've recently gone back to Commodore 64 and now I'm back in charge.
The Seahawks are lucky to get Dickson in the fifth round. If the Seahawks D is as good as a couple of years ago, they may shut out everyone with Dickson punting.
Some stuff from 247 about hill andChris warren said to be headed to raiders camp Two sources close to the situation, including an NFL source, told Horns247 Hill had a “diluted” drug test at the NFL combine. One NFL source said Hill showed up “sick as a dog” to the combine and doctors gave him meds and told him to drink as much Gatorade as possible. And while a diluted test is not considered a positive test, it raised enough of a red flag with teams, some of whom had as high as a second-round grade on Hill, after they dug into Hill’s background and learned Hill had previous suspensions at UT for failed drug tests.
' ..... Hill was one of the three players who failed the mandatory drug test at the Combine...." One of the other three was also a one-time Longhorn -- Desmond Harrison who also went undrafted. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-how-the-draft-really-went-down-what-it-means
See #206 above. Technically he didn't fail the drug test, but given his history, everyone knows the score.
