Looking for Sprint Phone customers with HTC Hero or Blackberry

feeds@yuku.com (miggs721) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 13:50:56 GMT

Hey guys,
just curious if there are some sprint customers out there, and if they have the HTC Hero or any Blackberry. Currently I have the LG lotus, and it fits all my needs, with the great Opera Mini browser, but I am looking to upgrade to a smartphone, and just was wondering if anyone had some input. Thanks alot

Digital Cameras

feeds@yuku.com (miggs721) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 13:36:36 GMT

Whats up guys, and gals. I'm in the market for a new digital camera, and prefer a slim 10-12 mega pixel in blk/silver. Any suggestions, I'm looking to spend under 150, and basically looking for high quality pictures. I see there is a Casio Exilim z33 for 80 bucks right now, just curious

Current Windows XP firewall and malware recommendations?

feeds@yuku.com (1992casey) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 11:00:00 GMT

I'm looking for a a free firewall that runs decently on Windows XP without confusing the user. This would be for two older computers and a netbook.

These computers have been using Zone Alarm. As that program has grown, it seems to slow things down much more than it did in the past (especially when starting up the computer).

Also, for malware, has anyone tried Microsoft Security Essentials? It looks like something that would run happily on these less capable machines.

Packer Parking

feeds@yuku.com (Brian the Automator) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 08:47:42 GMT

Posting this over here, because I'm pretty sure it's off-topic... Heading to the packer game tomorrow. I'm coming from up north, and we're meeting two other people coming from Milwaukee. We're looking to park somewhere to consolidate into one car then find some place near the stadium to park. Any suggestions on either? Probably planning on arriving wherever we park maybe 45-60 mins before kickoff.

Thanks!

Kindle

feeds@yuku.com (Viva La Grinch) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 05:50:53 GMT

So, I received an unexpected gift this Xmas, and got a Kindle for a gift. I know very little of the product, but as I read more about it, the more that I am intrigued. Just wondering if others have some first hand tips on using this? I love the fact that there are some free books on Amazon and wonder as well, if there are some other websites to look at for downloading books other then Amazon?

Just saw it (not in 3-D). What a visual materpiece. Incredible. Completely made me look past the weak storyline.

What did you all think of this movie? Is it worth going again to see it in 3-D?

The story behind NORAD's Santa Claus tracking.

NORAD's Santa tracker

It started in the 50's with a typo in a Sears ad and has bloomed due to the efforts of 1275+ folks recently.

To everyone here at bf.net, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all your families and friends!!

For the talent show another teacher and I put forth a little Journey cover. He is on bass, the music teacher is on Piano, and I am on drums. I did mess up on one spot but all in all, not bad for never playing drums before. The video is dark and I am hidden (behind students) as I was very nervous and hate being in front of people. Anyway, thought maybe some people might be into 80's rock.

Local cigar shops and general cigar discussion

feeds@yuku.com (InsomniacInkRoss) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 05:26:34 GMT

Looking to get someone a humidor for christmas, just wondering where the best selection is, and, if I can get a decent one for around $40-$50. Are they even worth it at that price? Or do you not want to buy a cheap one? I usually just buy right before I smoke.

Is there a specific smoke shop with some sort of gift pack/sampler thing?

Also, who smokes what? Etc etc. I enjoy Drew Estates, specifcally their Tabak line.

what are you reading?

feeds@yuku.com (flosses like fossas) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 02:40:34 GMT

it's winter. people read in winter (because tehre's no baseball to watch), right? so what is everyone reading?

i'm finally nearing the end of don quixote. it's worth the effort - funny, and mostly an entertaining read throughout - not withstanding some long, redundant speeches given by old don q. anybody else read it? thoughts?

next i'll be reading pale fire (nabakov) for my book club.

i'm also really excited to get a copy of the...

Red Wings and Octupus tossing

feeds@yuku.com (yoshii8) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:28:50 GMT

Does anybody know the rules of throwing these on the ice and if its illegal at the Joe Louis arena. Also, how would you go about sneaking one in the arena? Please let me know if anybody has any info on this, I told my sister in law that I would try to find this out for her. I tried to find the rules by google search but haven't found much. Thanks for any help that you can give me.

batting cages - aluminum bats

feeds@yuku.com (Patrick425) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:35:11 GMT

I hear all sorts of conflicting stories regarding the use of aluminum bats in batting cages, especially the batting cages that use the dimpled balls. Are the dimpled balls bad for aluminum bats? Do aluminum bats have only so many hits in them before they begin to weaken and therefore should not be used in the batting cage at all (whether it's a regular ball or dimpled ball?).

I coach a baseball team and we have access to batting cages once a week. The machines use the dimpled...

Iphone question

feeds@yuku.com (DHonks) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:19:20 GMT

so the tech geek in me is interested in an Iphone, but today I came up with a good question...where does a guy carry an iphone? Women carry them in their purse. Surely a man can't put his iPhone in his back pockets for fear of crushing it. But if the guy wears jeans, he also can't put it in the front pockets. So I'm left wondering "if I get an iphone, must I buy a stupid belt clip?"

Fantasy football lineup

Since I respect all your baseball opinions so much I thought some of you might be interested in helping me out this week setting my lineup for the 1st round of the fant. football playoffs.

The team I'm playing has some excellent machups and has a very high predicted scoring outcome this week. Not that I put a whole lot of stock into Yahoo's predictions. I'm debating blowing up my staring lineup a bit in favor of some boom/bust machup type plays and swing for the...

Cell Phone Question

feeds@yuku.com (lodiness) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:54:03 GMT

Question for the Verizon Users out there. Do any of you have the Motorola Droid or Storm 2? My contract is coming up, and I have been trying to decide which one to go with (or any other suggestions). Basically need e-mail, and web, everything else is a bonus. Sick of the crappy AT&T network, so looking to switch. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Any suggestions of a website to run a keeper fantasy baseball league?

feeds@yuku.com (The Goat Sucker) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:31:26 GMT

I've been in a "regular" fantasy baseball league for years, run through Yahoo, and we're thinking of starting up a keeper league instead. I think most keeper leagues are auction style, which is what we'd like to do. Any suggestions of websites to manage a keeper league, with auction values, escalating salaries, etc? We'd probably prefer a free one if its out there, but would be willing to do a pay site if its worth it.

I have the basic images that I want, but I know nothing about layering and making things pretty. Compensation to be given in the form of team merchandise. PM me if you can help.
