We've got the most sensitive smoke detector in our house set up in the kitchen. It goes off at the slightest provocation. Open the oven door for 5 seconds to check how dinner is doing? The alarm goes off. Fry up anything other than eggs on the stove? The alarm goes off. And it's not even a "Oh, that's smoking a little bit, I should probably do someth-oh god my ears!" It's "Hooray! Almost time to eat and the smoke detector hasn-oh god my ears!" Our dog isn't very fond of the noise either.

I catch them when I can, but I haven't heard them booing lately.

Woo! Montreal advances to the second round based on a 5-0 shutout! Woo! Also, Ovechkin scores two to get the Caps to a 7th game. Woo!

Brodeur says that Nabokov deserves it. Does that help any? Also, Lundqvist had 10 shutouts this year. It's not like he didn't do anything to deserve the nomination.

Replace tomorrow with tonight for me. Also Brodeur, Nabokov and Lundqvist nominated for Vezina.

Dallas wasn't a shocking upset. If you want to classify it an upset then it was a minor one. I haven't seen anyone talking about Turco being a playoff choker since his awesome performance last year. Kor: I'm 2/3 in the west and 2/2 in the east so far. :D Cheering for Dallas, but picking Anaheim. That'll teach me. I even got the number of games for the Colorado series and the Calgary series with the winner prediction still pending for that one.

I'm hoping the lost so that we get one more awesome game before this series is over. IMO it's been the most entertaining of all the first round matches so far.

Ducks are gone and Calgary lives to play game seven. It was a good day.

It is indeed awesome. I finally managed to get through it after enabling god mod so that my character can just hack his way through combat at 0.2FPS and not suddenly die without me being able to do anything.

The golf course?

50% growth seems like a huge amount to us, but according the the Ars Tech article I linked in my first post, it's not an extreme amount that will be impossible for the network operators to keep up with.

A 50 fold increase in traffic within three years, when according to Ars Tech and the Minnesota Internet Traffic Studies Project, internet traffic is only increasing by about 50% every year and that supposedly that figure is falling? Looks like AT&T is pulling numbers out of it's ass.

You're right. He wants a 780I not a 790I.

It'll never happen.

Bastards!

I can't run TF2 at an acceptable framerate.

That was indeed horrible. They looked like they were trying to protect a one goal lead for two periods.

29% of voters are easily confused.

Yeah, because the best "team" never loses!

I just saw the empty net goal in the New Jersey game. That had to hurt. Cleanest face off win in your career and you win it straight back into your own empty net.

You didn't need to watch the game to see that. It was on TSN non-stop for about two days. If you had seen any NHL coverage the day after that was pretty much all that was talked about. I disagree. Ottawa's problems in the first round didn't really have anything to do with Gerber. Gerber played well for the most part and was at times the best Senator on the ice. Ottawa's problem was that they couldn't score. A shutout, 2 one goal games and a three goal game.

If it wasn't for that 15-2 run at the beginning of the season, they probably would have had Stamkos... Because only one person here has been watching the New York/New Jersey games?

And there goes Ottawa.

Bastard! Why Thornton, why?!
