This seems to be off the topic of whatever this thread is about. Can we get a mod to clean this up?

That's actually on my to-do list for tomorrow if another mod hasn't done so already... But we may be past the point of no return here. How can you pick and choose amongst this mess? When actual things happen, the thread will steer itself in the appropriate direction.

Cleaning up this thread is on your to-do list for tomorrow? Ha- good luck! We're 5,000 posts in, bro.

The biggest questions I now have are:

1) What was the national story that made headlines this summer, Jimmy?

2) What club were you president of, GK? It was NAMBLA, wasn't it? You were president of NAMBLA, right? :wave:

Na I was just treasurer of NAMBLA.

Haha not the whole thing, just analyzing if there's anything that can be done in light of recent shenanigans.

Id rather get nickle and dimed the few times i have to replace a part instead of having to buy a new laptop every two years when Dells usually crap out. Also for art and design stuff there is no comparison to Apple.



If he doesnt take you up on this offer im bookmarking this shit for the next time mine burns through its own cord.

What about in 3 years when you need a simple hardware upgrade but need to just buy a whole new Mac?

Buying a dell laptop for the last ten years would be like buying Natty Lite and coming away with the opinion that beer sucks.

As far as the art stuff you're right but it amazes me how many people I see in my library who have bought $1500 Macs so they can check Facebook and use Microsoft word (of which the Mac version sucks lol)

This thread would be better with "Your Mom" jokes.

Yo momma so fat Brady Hoke feasted on her and felt full afterwards

Yo momma so dumb she thought Ann Arbor wasn't a whore








(These are not really intended to be funny just wanted to integrate a subtle Fuck Michigan into this thread)

If it was a scout team player representing a Michigan player it wouldn't be on the roster, would it?

Don't think so. I'm pretty sure all the scout team guys are on the roster too. Guys like Austin Larkin, Cam Bryan, Grant Hammann, etc.

I have to say I am disappointed in the direction this thread has gone. There seems to be a general lack of understanding all around. I want to echo IrishLion's sentiment. From two pages back. Let's maintain civility and exercise the use of proper discourse please.

Ive had mine for going on 5 years and it runs like the day i bought it.

$1500? Lol i wish. But i understand what your getting at. I guess being around people that do need Macs has biased me, but even in my experience with our home PC's they quickly turn into bricks.

I've had my MacBook since 2008. The only software upgrade that's ever been crucial was $20 for Snow Leopard, and that was simply so I could properly setup my iPhone5 via an iTunes update. I also had to upgrade something when I bought my first new charger, which has since broken like the original one did.

Hey guys, my first post and I have kept up with this thread. I also have a name on NDNation that someone referred to at the beginning of this thread as being reputable source before the news broke. I wanted to drop my 2 cents for thought, which may calm some.
There are some expressing concern on behalf of the player's sake, which is fair. I think that the opposite could be true in the delay though. It may be possible that they want to do everything possible for a fair shake before expelling Davaris Daniels and Kendall Moore, taking their opportunity to pursue a degree from Notre Dame away. As football fans, we would like expediency and a resulting innocent decision so that these players can help the Irish beat Michigan. As Notre Dame family, we want to give these young men the best education and chance to use that education. You know, the whole 40 year decision that we preach so often. But hey, the game this week is important enough that we should rush a decision that will impact their lives much more

In my experience, probably not you since you seem reasonable, this is largely a bias people who have bought Macs usually create. For example let's go with *sigh* my girlfriend. She buys a shitty $300 dollar Dell (the kind with the exchangeable faceplates *shudder), treats it like crap, and after 3 years she starts have difficulties. She then decides that she wants a MacBook because they look pretty and are stylish. She then buys a $1,700 MacBook and treats it like it's made of eggshells. It has run well for the last two years.

She says this is proof that Macs are superior to PCs.

This is why I want to headbutt my wall on a daily basis.

I guess my point is, people who buy PCs try to go bargain bin shopping and are SHOCKED when it doesn't run the same as a premium experience. Spend 1,700 on a toshiba satellite and you'll get a machine that can purr.

Good perspective. Haven't really even thought about it that way. Welcome to the board.

What could they be doing to help them?

Awesome that's how the real world works, but when did "real world" = "academia" .. Hell, half the education you learn in college is philosophical and theory based. How often does that shit apply to "real world"?

Another thing, sources are only as reliable as your gullibility allows them to be. I don't care if you're Jimmy, TP, some guy named Chiro; they're still random people who post on a message board. If you've been "burned" before by bad info then stop relying on this kind of info. Others can appreciate a break from the constant speculation while balancing the fluid situation of breaking news.

Its a Damn message board, take any information with a grain of salt. Fuck Michigan, fuck Michigan real hard

Trust me... I wasn't relying on James's updates. Far from the truth. But when he bitches and moans, he's going to take it from the masses. (Not from me mind you, but if he wants to be the center of the information world, then he needs to be prepared to take the arrows when wrong along with the praise when he's right. I don't have a dog in the fight. I've just been watching him getting defensive with people questioning him on his claims.

I think his point is that the evidence may be overwhelmingly negative and "expulsion-worthy" but rather than rush the decision, Notre Dame may be looking at all possible ways to avoid that result as to not cause the student-athletes to lose their opportunity to graduate from ND.

Nope, it is the perfect spot for it. This thread is one large cesspool of off-topic posts.

I feel like I should do something about it but I keep getting convinced to leave it alone. This is IEs Bang Bang ND Gang thread.

It could be a scenario where the facts weigh strongly in favor of expulsion and Notre Dame is giving it a thorough hearing, talking about any benefits of the doubt that may be extended, etc. If you're going to expel someone, I think you owe them a thorough due process.
