    @anexanhume: if only you realized how many more oats you could be carrying. with so many oat carrying opportunities you have no excuse. your behaviour is both arrogant AND detrimental to our survival. Everyone else carries oats every day of their lives. who the hell do you think you are? #fiberopticskulls

    I will say I may be wrong, but my guess is that this was not a vandal situation, but an attempted theft. I wager two people were trying to steal some copper wire and realized after cutting/pulling some that it wasn't worth anything re-sale and booked. In that case, raising the reward will help as, if I have learned anything from Batman, thieves are cowardly and greedy. If it was a work action, however, no amount they offer will cause someone to narc a fellow Union member out.

    OmThey're not going to catch whoever did it.


    They're looking for probably 2 random people who snipped some cables in San Jose. This isn't CSI-- they're not going to catch the perps, simple as that. They can throw as much money out there as a reward as they want, but it's not gonna happen.


    The crime is just too... not sure if I'm using the right word, but the crime seems too general and open for anyone to pinpoint a suspect.

    @SJRNWT: Uhm, these people had to pull up manhole covers to do the work. People usually notice that kind of stuff.

    @Lite: Cycle now entering the game grid: I seriously hate to disagree, but as long as you look like you belong, people tend to ignore you. A guy in California made and installed a exit signs on a major highway in CA, and no one noticed it until he admitted it. Why? B/c they looked like they belonged, so no one noticed. People also don't like to get involved sometimes, so if they see a open manhole cover, they will drive around it and say "Someone else probably called about it."

    I don't understand all the negative comments about football. If there was an article about new special underwater cameras, I don't think everyone would be talking about how much they dislike scuba-diving. Why does everyone have to talk about how much they hate football.


    There are some of us out there that are geeks AND like sports. All the negativity is getting really old really fast.

    @soccer1105: I was going to agree with you, but then I saw that when you say "sports," you actually mean "soccer."


    At which point I could no longer agree with you on anything.

    In reply to The Tech Behind NBC's Super Bowl Broadcast: They'll Be Using Cameras
    I love the introduction of the overhead camera, when they keep it still. Focused down on the defensive line from behind the head of the quarterback for example. Great perspective on what the Quarterback sees.


    But when they use it to "chase" a runner, say on a kickoff return, it just gives me motion sickness.

    @BradleyStudent: No.

    That particular criticism is as worn out in these parts as overlords and blenders.


    Colloquially it implies no such thing.

    Both are accepted usage and have been for decades.

    @92BuickLeSabre: Quoted:

    "And because it is hard to be sarcastic in writing, 'I could care less' loses its force when put on paper and just ends up looking stupid. In such cases, 'I couldn't care less', while still rather colloquial, at least will communicate your meaning - at least to those who really could care less."

    (Any problems detecting the sarcasm?)
