Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Preemptive strike

I hate the new format. Get rid of avatars, fix search, and return to something approaching a sensible text width. The new format sucks.

Search is being improved
it's one of their highest-priority tasks.

And I notice that you've avoided
Talking about the other two. Which probably aren't priorities of theirs.

I think you need to back up.
You might be too close to the screen, or on the wrong site.

Is it wrong...
...to bust a freakin' gut at Graham's perpetual sadism?

Stop making me laugh at this stuff.  Just. Stop.

It's "preemptive"
but I agree.  Also, can you make the current comment more easily discernible when "c"-ing through, please?

Please, for the love of all that is holy, get rid of avatars.

that you can't eat raw sunflower seeds the same way you eat cooked ones? they really suck, That will teach me to buy something because I think it is healthier

The reason I hate the new format
is that it looks like it was designed for ten year olds

it looks like they are catering to the LCD for whatever reason

Oh well, here's to entertaining that ADD child in all of us.

The reason I hate the new format
is that half the fucking space on the screen is unusable.

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT.

by Graham on Mar 24, 2008 5:48 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well yeah, obviously.
Fuck me and my stupid fucking wide screen monitor. I should go back to my parents house and find my old box shaped one in the basement. Why you would designed a format made for monitor that are at least five years old is beyond me. It would make as much sense for the tv people to film their shows exclusively in 4:3, when they switch over to digital format.

That's because
you would've posted it in a way that was much more offensive and unpleasant for everyone.

by Jeff on Mar 25, 2008 12:22 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He was directly rebutting a statement
He didn't just post it randomly.  So that's good.

But it leads me to believe he was keeping the image in mind, and was just waiting for someone to say, "You can't fuck with a chainsaw" so he could swoop in with this proof otherwise.

That's pretty messed up, the more I think about it.
